Comment[Submitted Name] Genetic Diversity Influences the Response of the Brain to Developmental Lead Exposure. Experiment Description In this study we analyzed the effects of lead-exposure up hippocampal gene expression in males and females exposed to 0ppm, 250ppm and 750ppm lead during two different developmental periods, perinatal (in utero through to weaning at PND21) and postnatal (PND0-PND45), across three strains (Fischer, Long Evans and Sprague Dawley). All tissue was taken at PND 55. We used affymetrix Rat Gene 1.0ST arrays to obtain global gene expression data from each animal, with a group size of 4 for all conditions (Total number of Arrays = 119) Gene expression was profiled in the hippocampus of rats at no lead exposure (0ppm), 250ppm and 750 ppm lead exposure levels during perinatal and postnatal developmental periods of both males and females of three strains of rat (Fischer, Long Evans and Sprague Dawley).

ID_REF = VALUE = RMA normalized signal intensity (no batch correction) standard Affymetrix protocol standard Affymetrix protocol Animals received either perinatal or postnatal exposure to control chow, control chow containing 250ppm lead-acetate or control chow containing 750ppm lead acetate. Perinatal exposure consisted of the dams being placed on lead food for 10 days pior to breeding and remaining on this food until weening, at which time the weaned pups were placed on control food until the end of the experiment at PND55. Postnatal animals only received lead-containgin food from brith through to PND 45, then were placed on control food until PND 55. Animals were euthanized and hippocampii immediately dissected and flash frozen. Samples were then stored at -80 degrees C until processed. Tissue was extracted using Qiagen miRNeasy kits according to the manufacturers protocol on a Qiagen Qiacube Automated Extraction system. Following extraction samples underwent QA/QC checks using a GE NanoVue Spectrophotometer and were then run on an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 for RNA integerity. Chips were scanned using Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner 3000.
