Abstract
Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the head of medaka (Oryzias latipes) were investigated to assess the biological effects of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) on genomic alterations. Eight and ten DEGs were identified in response to short (48 h) and long-term (15 days) exposure to BaP (25 microg/L), respectively, using annealing control primer-based polymerase chain reaction. Among the DEGs, matrilin 1 and prothrombin were commonly detected, suggesting that BaP exposure can alter the expression of genes associated with the formation of extracellular matrix and blood coagulation in the head of medaka.
