Biomarkers: distinct indicators that help define the physiology or state of a living system

Biomarkers are not just ANY indicator
Marcelle uses his fingers as an indicator of how close we came to shit-creek. But that’s not a biomarker
Chris uses a YSI probe to measure dissolved oxygen. But that’s not a biomarker.

Biomarkers represent the complexity of life
When hypoxia sets in, a yawn indicates the homeostatic mechanism to increase oxygen uptake AKA the Boopathy Biomarker

Biomarkers include
Any indicator of a biological phenomenon:
Microbiological biomarkers to indicate cloning ampicillin resistance
Expression markers for biosynthesis/ trafficking gfp protein tagging
Genetic biomarkers of disease in humans
Induced biomarkers as evidence of abnormality

No. of CAGrepeats
Outcome
< 28 Normal range; individual will not develop HD
29-34Individual will not develop HD but the nextgeneration is at risk
35-39Some, but not all, individuals in this range willdevelop HD; next generation is also at risk
> 40 Individual will develop HD
Huntington’s Disease Repeats
Human ortholog of ced 3 is caspase 3
Huntingtin is cleaved by caspase 3, and this change is associated with neuronal death

Rachel Carsonpublished Silent Spring 1962 raising concerns on DDTHeptachlorDieldrin
Advocating integrated pest management, she referred to work by Henry Long who reported that heptachlor used to treat fire ants had INCREASED cane borer damage.

Several environmental pollutants have been defined as estrogenic:
Endocrine disruptors

Estrogen imparts a 3 layered effect
Transcription of Primary genes
Transcription of Secondary genes
A stabilization of cytoplasmic mRNA
Final Result:
A gradual and long lasting cell response such as synthesis of vitellogenin by liver

The Endocrine Disruptor Hypothesis
Compounds from a variety of sources, once thought to be safe, are having a non-lethal but devastating impact on normal biological signaling

2. Vertebrate Metamorphosis
3. Invertebrate Sex determination
4. Vetebrate Sex determination

Chain of Causation:•Chemical spill in 1992 contained DDT, DDE and more
• Juvenile alligator population has decreased
•females have elevated levels of estradiol
•males have depressed levels of testo
•Females have altered aromatase activity
•Males have poorly organized testes
•Males have reduced penis size
•Testes have elevated estradiol production
•Females have poyovular follicles
•Many contaminants bind to alligator est receptors

biomarkers in certain species have become useful as indicators of environmental health

Biomarkers for estrogen induction can be applied to test for normal reproductive health
As well as Environmental Stress such as Endocrine Disruption
By far the most famous endocrine disruption biomarker is the yolk protein precursor, vitellogenin made by the liver under estrogen induction, transported by the blood and stored in the oocyte
