Downregulation of hsp22 gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster from sites located near chemical plants

L. M. Magdalena, Coipan, E. C., Vladimirescu, A. F., Savu, L., Costache, M., and Gavrila, L., Downregulation of hsp22 gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster from sites located near chemical plants, vol. 11, pp. 739-745, 2012.

A common physiological response of organisms to environmental conditions is variation in gene expression, especially true for genes encoding for heat shock proteins. In insects, this process has been examined for induced heat or cold stress. The putative long-term imprinted/acquired heat shock protein response due to unfriendly environmental conditions has been far less studied. The Drosophila melanogaster hsp22 gene, which has been extensively reviewed as being sensitive to different changing life conditions, was examined by qRT-PCR, using carboxy-X-rhodamine.
