Lack of hepatic response of microRNA in mice following DB[a,h]A exposure (Agilent miRNA)

ABSTRACT: Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene DB[a,h]A is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon potent carcinogen. Few studies have investigated the role of DB[a,h]A on mRNA and miRNA expression. In this study a 10-week old male MutaTM Mouse were exposed to 6.25, 12.5, and 25 mg/kg/day DB[a,h]A by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days. DNA adducts were detected in the livers at each DB[a,h]A dose tested, and a dose-dependent increase in lacZ mutants was observed in the same samples. MAANOVA analysis revealed minor changes in the mRNA expression for the two lowest doses. Differential expression of 19 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated transcripts with fold-change > 1.5 (FDR-adjusted P < 0.05) were identified in the 6.25 mg/kg/day DB[a,h]A treatment group. For the 12.5 mg/kg/day treatment group 13 transcripts were up-regulated and 32 down-regulated (FDR-adjusted P < 0.05 and fold-change > 1.5). Major effect on mRNA expression resulted from exposure to the highest dose (25 mg/kg/day) of DB[a,h]A with 135 up-regulated and 104 down-regulated genes with fold-change > 1.5 (FDR-adjusted P < 0.05). The significantly regulated genes are involved in circadian rhythm, drug metabolism, glucose metabolism, cholestrol and lipid metabolism, immune response, cell cycle, and apoptosis. We also investigated miRNA response to the three doses of DB[a,h]A. MiRNA expression was relatively unaffected. Only miR-34a showed significant (FDR-adjusted P < 0.05) up-regulation with a fold change above 1.3-fold. RNA samples from 5 control and 4-5 mice per treatment group (6.25mg/kg, 12.50mg/kg, and 25mg/kg) containing 100 ng were labelled using AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys miRNA complete labelling and Hyb Kit (Agilent Tech, Mississauga, ON, Canada).

Dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DB[a,h]A) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is a by-product of combustion and a potent carcinogen. Few studies have investigated the effects of DB[a,h]A on mRNA and microRNA expression to dissect the mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis. In this study, mature male mice (Muta(™)Mouse) were exposed to 6.25, 12.5 and 25mg/kg/day DB[a,h]A by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days. Results were compared with mice similarly exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in our previous ...[more]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in carcinogenesis by regulating the protein translation from their targeted messenger RNAs (mRNA). Aristolochic Acid (AA) is a potent carcinogen that can induce kidney tumors in both human and experimental animals. Although the expression and roles of miRNAs have been extensively studied in cancer tissues or tissues treated by carcinogens, it is still unclear how the three levels of gene expression, including miRNA, mRNA and protein, are regulated and coordinated during the early stage of carcinogenesis. Here, we treated rats with 10 mg/kg AA or vehicle control for 12 weeks and the kidney tissues were quickly isolated and frozen immediately after the treatment. Eight kidney samples (4 for the treatment and 4 for the control) were used for analyzing miRNA and mRNA expressions with deep sequencing, and protein expressions with proteomics. MiRNA expressions were significantly changed by AA treatment. The treated samples were well separated from the control samples in both principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). Quantitative measurements of six miRNAs using TaqMan real-time PCR were consistent with the deep sequencing results in terms of both direction and magnitude of gene expression change. Sixty-three miRNAs (adjusted p value < 0.05 and fold change > 1.5), 6,794 mRNAs (adjusted p value < 0.05 and fold change > 2.0), and 800 proteins (fold change > 2.0) were significantly altered by AA treatment. By combining the results of a computational target predicting algorithm, and the mRNA and protein expression data, 143 genes were found by the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs). The DEM-targeted genes are mainly related to cancer, cell growth, which reflects the carcinogenic processes in the AA-treated rat kidneys. Groups of four 6 week-old male Big Blue rats were treated with AA as its sodium salt at 10.0 mg/kg body weight by gavage (4 ml/kg body weight) 5 times a week for 12 weeks. The rats that were treated with 0.9% sodium chloride on the same schedule were used as control. microRNAs were isolated from rat kidneys and subject to next-generation sequencing to determine the expression profile.
