Influence of subchronic exposure to arsenic on the expression of sexogene Jarid1d in brain of mice

Objective] To examine the influence of subchronic exposure to arsenic(As) on expression of sexogene Jarid1d in brain of mice.Methods] Thirty mice were divided into 3 groups received 1 mg/L As2O3,4 mg/L As2O3 and water alone(control).As2O3 was given through drinking water.On the 60th day after As exposure,mice were decapitated and their brains were removed.Expression of Jarid1d gene in the brain of mice from every group was examined by GeneChip and RT-PCR.Results] Compared to control group,expressions of Jarid1d in mice cerebrum and cerebellum were significantly upregulated in the experimental groups.The mRNA expressions of Jarid1d in cerebral cortex,cerebral medullary substance and cerebellum were significantly elevated in the 4 mg/L As2O3 group,being accordance with the results by the GeneChip.Conclusion] These results indicate that subchronic exposure to As can upregulate expression of Jarid1d in the brain.It is also suggested that Jarid1d may be a target of As neurotoxicity.
