ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0056668 | Abstract: | The influence of sex factor is widely recognized in various diseases, but its molecular basis, particularly how sex-biased genes, those with sexually dimorphic expression, behave in response to toxico-pathological changes is poorly understood. In this study, zebrafish toxicogenomic data and transcriptomic data from human pathological studies were analysed for the responses of male- and female-biased genes. Our analyses revealed obvious inverted expression profiles of sex-biased genes, where affected males tended to up-regulate genes of female-biased expression and down-regulate genes of male-biased expression, and vice versa in affected females, in a broad range of toxico-pathological conditions. Intriguingly, the extent of these inverted profiles correlated well to the susceptibility or severity of a given toxico-pathological state, suggesting that inverted expression profiles of sex-biased genes observed in this study can be used as important indicators to assess biological disorders. © 2013 Ung et al. | Source Title: | PLoS ONE | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/53002 | ISSN: | 19326203 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0056668 |
