Dioxin effect on the pituitary and hypothalamic expression of genes in male fetal Wistar rats

ABSTRACT: 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) causes the many forms of reproductive toxicity, such as defects in sexual behaviors, in pups of which mother is exposed to this substance at lower doses. However, the mechanism underlying these defects remains to be clarified in spite of many researches conducted so far. Our previous studies have revealed that maternal treatment with TCDD attenuates the production of pituitary gonadotropins [luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone] in the late fetuses, leading to the impairment of sexual behavior in adulthood. To identify the target genes for a fetal reduction in gonadotropin β-subunit, we performed DNA microarray analysis using the fetal pituitary and its regulatory organ, the hypothalamus. The result showed that TCDD induced histone deacetylases (HDACs), and altered the expression of genes including gonadotropin-releasing hormone and activin signaling in the fetal pituitary. Moreover, our data indicated that the increased deacetylation of histone due to HDAC induction plays a critical role for a dioxin-induced attenuation of LHβ in the fetal pituitary. This study suggests a novel molecular mechanism explaining dioxin-produced reproductive toxicity. Pregnant Wistar rats were orally treated with TCDD (1 µg/kg in corn oil) at gestational day (GD)15. Then, the total RNA was extracted from the fetal pituitary and hypothalamus at GD20. To identify the target genes the alteration of which contributes to a reduction in fetal gonadotropin β-subunit, the profile of gene expression was analyzed using the Illumina RatRef-12 Expression BeadChip.

Effect of maternal exposure to dioxin on the pituitary and hypothalamic expression of genes in PND70 male pups

Project description:Our previous studies have revealed that treatment of pregnant rats with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 1 μg/kg) at gestational day (GD) 15 reduces the pituitary synthesis of luteinizing hormone (LH) during late fetal and early postnatal period, leading to imprinting of defects in sexual behaviors at adulthood. However, it remains obscure how the attenuation of pituitary LH links to sexual immaturity. To address this issue, we firstly performed a DNA microarray analysis to identify the gene(s) responsible for dioxin-induced sexual immaturity, using the pituitary and hypothalamus of male pups, at the age of postnatal day (PND)70, born from TCDD-treated dams. Among the reduced genes, we focused on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the hypothalamus, because of its role in sexual behaviors suggested so far. The present study strongly suggests that maternal exposure to TCDD fixes the status of the lowered expression of GnRH in the offspring by reducing steroidogenesis at perinatal stage, and this is the mechanism for the imprinting of defects in sexual behaviors at adulthood.

To identify the gene(s) the altered expression of which is fixed and linked to defects in sexual behaviors, the profile of gene expression was analyzed using the Illumina RatRef-12 Expression BeadChip. This series includes two dataset; hypothalamic and pituitary samples (each case; N=3x2). The normalization applied each dataset.

Transcriptional Profiling of Maternal and Fetal Organs following Rat In Utero TCDD or TCDF Exposure

Project description:We report the RNAseq-based transcriptome profiles of rat gestation day 20 dam liver, fetal male and female liver, fetal male pituitary, and fetal testis following in utero exposure to either 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) or 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF). Two exposure models were examined: 1) pregnant rats exposed to either a dose response series of TCDD or TCDF from gestation day 6 - 20 or 2) pregnant rats exposed to a single dose of TCDD or TCDF on gestation day 15. These data support a mode-of-action for dioxin-induced rat male reproductive toxicity involving key events in both the fetal pituitary (reduced gonadotropin production) and fetal testis (reduced Leydig cell cholesterologenesis and steroidogenesis) which are hypothesized to decrease perinatal Sertoli cell proliferation and culminate in reduced spermatogenesis. The lack of a TCDF effect on proposed key events may be due to a higher rate of metabolic clearance relative to TCDD.

Proteomic profiling of anterior pituitary of heifer calves offered either a high or moderate plane of nutrition in early life

Project description:Enhanced nutrition during the early calfhood period has been shown to hasten the onset of puberty in heifer calves. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian biochemical signalling axis regulates reproductive development in heifers, with the dynamics of gonadotropin pulsatility within the anterior pituitary gland, in particular, central to final sexual maturity. However, the precise molecular mechanisms regulating the influence of metabolic status on this signalling axis in heifer calves is yet to be fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of an enhanced plane of nutrition during early life, up to 21 weeks of age, on the anterior pituitary gland proteome of heifer calves. Heifer calves were offered either a high or moderate plane of nutrition. Pathway analysis of differentially abundant proteins highlighted an effect on both growth hormone and GnRH signalling pathways, as well as an effect towards reproductive system development and function

Effect of maternal dioxin exposure on pituitary mRNAs in fetal rats at gestational day 18

Project description:We found that oral administration of TCDD (1 µg/kg) to pregnant rats on gestational day 15 suppressed pituitary syntheisis of growth hormone during the last fetal stage. We performed a DNA microarray analysis to identify the genes linked to the attenuated expression of GH, using the male and female fetal pituitary at GD18 when the reduced expression of GH started to occur because of TCDD.

Effect of dioxin on hypothalamic mRNAs in maternal rats at postpartum day 7

Project description:We found that oral administration of TCDD (1 µg/kg) to pregnant rats on gestational day 15 suppressed maternal production of prolactin, a pituitary hormone essential for nursing including milk production, during the lactational stage. To comprehensively investigate genes linked to the lower prolactin expression, we performed a DNA microarray analysis in the hypothalamus, which regulates the pituitary prolactin synthesis, of lactating dam rats.

Transcriptional Profiling of rat hypothalamic response to TCDD

Project description:In many mammals, halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon (HAH) exposure causes wasting syndrome, defined as lethal weight loss as a result of severe and persistent hypophagia. The most potent HAH in causing wasting is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-ρ-dioxin (TCDD), which exerts its toxic effects through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) – a transcription factor. Because TCDD toxicity is thought to predominantly arise from dysregulation of AHR-transcribed genes, we hypothesized that wasting syndrome is due to TCDD-induced dysregulation of genes involved in regulation of food-intake. We therefore focused on the hypothalamus, as it is the regulatory center of food-intake and energy balance in the central nervous system. We profiled mRNA abundance in hypothalamic tissue from two rat strains with widely differing sensitivities to wasting syndrome: TCDD-sensitive Long-Evans rats and TCDD-resistant Han/Wistar rats, 23 hours after exposure to TCDD (100 μg/kg) or corn oil vehicle. We found that TCDD exposure caused minimal transcriptional dysregulation effects in the hypothalamus, with only 6 genes changed in Long-Evans rats and 15 genes in Han/Wistar rats. Two of the most dysregulated genes were Cyp1a1 and Nqo1, which are induced by TCDD across a wide range of tissues and are considered sensitive markers of TCDD exposure. The minimal response of the hypothalamic transcriptome to a lethal dose of TCDD at an early time-point suggests that the hypothalamus is not the predominant site of initial events leading to hypophagia and associated wasting. TCDD may affect feeding behaviour via events upstream or downstream of the hypothalamus, and further work is required to evaluate this at the level of individual hypothalamic nuclei and subregions. Two strains, each with drug-treated vs vehicle-control
