Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infection. Although side effects of gentamicin such as nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity have been investigated, the information on the hepatic effects of gentamicin is still limited. In the present study, gene expression profiles were analyzed in the liver of gentamicin treated mice using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Expression 430A 2.0 Array. Totally, 400 genes were identified as being either up- or down-regulated over 1.5-fold changes (P<0.01) in the liver of gentamicin treated mice. Among these deregulated genes, 16 up-regulated genes mainly involved in transport (Kif5b, Pex14, Rab14, Clcn3, and Necap1) and 20 down-regulated genes involved in lipid and other metabolisms (Hdlbp, Gm2a, Uroc1, and Dak) were selected using k-means clustering algorithm. The functional classification of differentially expressed genes represented that several stress-related genes were regulated in the liver by gentamicin treatment. This data may contribute in understanding the molecular mechanism in the liver of gentamicin treated mice.
