Metallothionein mRNA induction is correlated with the decrease of DNA strand breaks in cadmium exposed zebra mussels.
Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis(2014)
Abstract
•Cadmium (Cd) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) induced DNA damages in zebra mussels.•Cd is a strong inducer of metallothionein (MT) and HSP70 genes.•Metallothionein might be implicated in cadmium detoxification.•BaP is a strong inducer of P-gp and AHR genes.•Cd and BaP induced in moderate changes in antioxidant enzymes mRNA.
