Gene expression of PBMC of chinese nickel refinery workers when compared to the gene expression profile of PBMCs from referent subjects

ABSTRACT: Up to date the studies examining the gene expression profiles in response to exposure to nickel compounds have only been conducted using in vitro tissue culture systems. Here, we have compared the gene expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMCs) of eight nickel refinery workers in Jinchang, China to the expression profiles of referent subjects with only environmental exposure. PBMC RNA was collected from eight nickel refinery workers in China and ten reference subjects with only environmental exposure to nickel. PBMC RNA was labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Genechip arrays 2.0. Gene expression profiles between nickel refinery workers and referent subjects was compared.

Gene expression in benzene-exposed workers

Project description:The effect of benzene exposure on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression was examined in a population of shoe-factory workers with well-characterized occupational exposures to benzene. We compared data from two microarray platforms (Illumina and Affymetrix). Keywords: occupational exposure

Transcription profiling of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from radiation-exposed workers versus control subjects

Project description:We used peripheral blood mononuclear cells to study the gene expression profiles of radiation-exposed workers versus control subjects. Human PBMC were isolated from 56 healthy donors who were working in a local Hospital (Bologna, Italy): 28 individuals were x and g radiation-exposed workers, recruited from the Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Units, while the control group consisted of 28 unexposed subjects, working at the same health care facility, matched for sex, age and smoking habits. The mean dosimeter reading, expressed as accumulated doses, during the entire time of employment (range: 1-32 years), was 19.49±37.59 mSv (mean ± SD). All procedures related to the collection of blood samples were performed with an informed consent and according to the protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board.

Allergic contact dermatitis to nickel is characterized by a specific microRNA signature [PBMCs]

Project description:We found that peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (from subjects with allergy to nickel) stimulated with nickel were characterized by a specific miRNA signature that were different from vehicle-stimulated PBMCs.

Allergic contact dermatitis to nickel is characterized by a specific microRNA signature [skin]

Project description:Our findings demonstrate that nickel-challenged skin in subjects with allergy to nickel is characterized by a specific miRNA signature compared to vehicle-challenged skin. In addition, we found that miRNA expression changes are different in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD to nickel) compared to irritant contact dermatitis (ICD).

Transcription profiling of human CD4+ T cell to identify differences between HIV-1 resistant and HIV-1 susceptible individuals

Project description:Understanding why some individual resist HIV-1 infection despite continued exposure is an important goal for vaccine development. We compared CD4+ T cell gene expression at baseline in HIV-1 resistant commercial sex-workers from Nairobi, Kenya to HIV-1 high-risk negative (non-resistant) commercial sex-workers using gene expression arrays Experiment Overall Design: CD4+ T cells from both HIV resistant and HIV low-risk negative individuals were isolated from PBMC after 24 hours of culture by negative selection. Total RNA was isolated and gene expression compared using Affymetrix total genome arrays.

Unexposed control & 3 VOCs exposed workers

Project description:We identified and validated characteristic miRNA expression profiles of human whole blood in workers exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and compared the usefulness of miRNA indicator of VOCs with the effectiveness of the already used urinary biomarkers of occupational exposure. Using a microarray based approach, we screened and detected deregulated miRNAs in their expression in workers exposed to VOCs (toluene [TOL], xylene [XYL] and ethylbenzene [EBZ]). Total 169 workers from four dockyards were enrolled in current study, and 50 subjects of them were used for miRNA microarray analysis.

Nickel-induced transcriptional memory in lung epithelial cells promotes interferon signaling upon nicotine exposure

Project description:Nickel is an environmental toxicant prevalent in the atmosphere. Nickel exposure is associated with a multitude of human health hazards including chronic respiratory ailments and lung and nasal cancers. Our earlier studies on nickel exposure in lung cells showed that a majority of the gene expression changes caused by nickel exposure persisted even after termination of exposure (nickel-washed-out cells (NiW)). In this study, we wanted to examine the impact of a secondary toxicant exposure on the nickel-washed-out (NiW) cells as compared to the cells that were never exposed to nickel. To accomplish this, we exposed the untreated control cells (UT) and the nickel-washed-out cells (NiW) to multiple doses of nicotine (NTE). RNA-Seq analysis showed that the exposure of NiW cells to nicotine (NiW-NTE) caused unique gene expression changes that were markedly different from the gene expression changes caused by nicotine exposure of UT cells, which were never exposed to nickel. Analysis of the differentially expressed genes using Reactome Pathway analysis predicted interferon signaling only in the NiW-NTE cells. Upstream Regulator Analysis (URA) predicted STAT-1, a transcription factor that mediates cellular response to interferons, as the top potential upstream regulator in the NiW-NTE cells. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis revealed increased STAT-1 binding at the promoters of genes associated with interferon signaling in NiW-NTE cells. Aberrant STAT-1 activation has been shown to promote carcinogenesis and interferon signaling promotes pathogenesis of autoimmune disease. Therefore, our results suggest that the epigenetic and transcriptional memory of the cells from the previous nickel exposure could negatively influence the outcome of secondary exposure to nicotine.

Epigenetic Repogramming by an Environmental Carcinogen Through Chromatin Domain Disruption [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Alterations in chromatin modifications, including DNA methylation and histone modification patterns, have been characterized under exposure of several environmental pollutants, including nickel. As with other carcinogenic metals, the mutagenic potential of nickel compounds is low and is not well correlated with its carcinogenic effects. Nickel exposure, however, is associated with alterations in chromatin modifications and related transcriptional programs, suggesting an alternative pathway whereby nickel exposure can lead to disease. To investigate the extent to which nickel exposure disrupts chromatin patterns, we profiled several histone modifications, including H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27me3 and H3K9me2 as well as the insulator binding protein CTCF and the transcriptomes of control BEAS-2B cells and cells treated with nickel for 72 hours. Our results show significant alterations of the repressive histone modification H3K9me2 in nickel-exposed cells with spreading of H3K9me2 into new domains associated with gene silencing. We furthermore show that local regions of active chromatin can protect genes from nickel-induced H3K9me2 spreading. Interestingly, we show that nickel exposure selectively disrupts weaker CTCF sites, leading to spreading of H3K9me2 at these regions. These results have major implications in the understanding of how environmental carcinogens can affect chromatin dynamics and the consequences of chromatin domain disruption in disease progression.
