Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract |
The results demonstrated that expression of microsomal actin was significantly higher (p < 0.02) in mussels exposed to a brominated flame retardant (BDE-47), and lower, however not significantly, in specimens exposed to crude oil, alone and spiked with alkylphenols and PAHs. Hsp70 was strongly induced in all exposure groups, which also included bisphenol A and diallylphthalate. Furthermore, microsomal actin exhibited seasonal variations, and expression was negatively correlated with water temperature. No correlation was seen between actin and the microfilament-binding protein TM, indicating that regulation of these two cytoskeletal components are not coupled. Furthermore, parallel and significant (p < 0.05) up-regulations of TM and Hsp70 were seen in individuals sampled from a strongly polluted field site, whereas the seasonal analysis showed that TM expression was positively correlated with energy reserves (total glycogen content) in mussels, suggesting the use of TM as a marker of growth. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated the cytoskeleton to be a target of contaminants in mussels, calling for further attention. Exposure-induced increase of microsomal actin can be interpreted either as stimulated actin synthesis, or re-arrangements of the dynamic microfilaments. |
