Alterations of DNA methylome during chemical carcinogenesis

ABSTRACT: Similar to other genotoxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is known to produce stable DNA adducts and other DNA damage. BaP is a powerful carcinogen and can induce tumors in the accessory sex organs (including prostate) of rodents. In the present study, we have investigated the potential role of BaP as an epimutagen in vivo during chemical carcinogenesis. We have analyzed the DNA methylation profile, genome-wide, of seminal vesicles of Big Blue® mice exposed to chronic doses of BaP over a period of 6 weeks, both immediately after the termination of exposure and several weeks after-treatment in mice that have developed tumors on the accessory sex organs. Mice treated with chronic doses of DMSO (sham) were used as control. We have used a genome-wide microarray-based approach to catalogue the DNA methylation profile in the seminal vesicles of mice injected intraperitoneally with chronic doses of BaP (experimental) or DMSO (control).

Induction of active hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes in mice exposed to benzo[a]pyrene or environmental mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Project description:Cytochrome P450 enzymes play an important role in bioactivating or detoxifying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We exposed mice to doses of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) or a mixture of PAHs to characterize dose- and time-response relationships of specific cytochrome P450s. Mice exposed to the highest PAH exposures exhibited 1.7-5-fold higher intrinsic clearance rates for BaP, compared to controls, and higher Vmax values, indicating higher amounts of enzymes capable of metabolizing BaP. This study demonstrates that PAHs induce enzymes in dose- and time-dependent patterns in animal models at exposure levels researchers use to characterize hazards and at relevant human exposure levels to PAH mixtures found at Superfund sites. Accounting for these potential changes in enzyme profiles, relative rates of PAH bioactivation and detoxification, and resulting risk will help reduce uncertainty and improve risk assessments for PAHs at contaminated sites.

Differential modification of the C. elegans proteome in response to acute and chronic gamma radiation: link with reproduction decline

Project description:Ecosystems are chronically exposed to ionizing radiations. But environmental risk assessment of chronic exposure suffers from a lack of knowledge. Extrapolation of data from acute to chronic exposure is not always relevant, and can lead to uncertainties. In fact, effects could be different between the two irradiation modes, especially regarding reproduction endpoint, which is an ecologically relevant parameter . The free living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a particularly appropriate model organism to address this proteomic issues. With its fully sequenced genome and its short life cycle, C. elegans has been successfully used to study acute and chronic irradiation effects and their consequences on germline development and hatching. Results showed that a decrease of the number of progeny associated with a decrease of hatching success occurred from and above 30 Gy of acute irradiation.. In the present study, we decided to refine the understanding of molecular mechanisms of acute and chronic irradiation by a global proteome analysis. To do so, C. elegans were exposed to 3 common cumulated doses between acute and chronic exposure. These 3 doses, lower than the doses for which an effect on the reproduction was shown, were susceptible to allow us to find early and sensitive biomarkers of a reproduction decline. After exposure, global modification of the proteome expression was studied using a label free LC-MS/MS proteomic approach. Our objectives were to test the following hypotheses: (1) whether or not proteome expression varied with the dose, and with the irradiation mode; (2) if proteome expression modification was associated with effects on reproduction, with potential direct implications for ecological risk assessment.

Whole DNA methylome profiling in mice exposed to secondhand smoke

Project description:A large body of evidence has linked secondhand smoke (SHS) to lung cancer in nonsmokers. Yet, the underlying mechanisms of SHS carcinogenicity in nonsmokers' lung cancer remain elusive. Recently, we have demonstrated a genotoxic mode of action for SHS, based on the ability of this carcinogen to induce adduct-driven mutagenesis in transgenic Big Blue® mice. In the present study, we have expanded this investigation to determine whether SHS can also cause epigenetic effects through aberrations of DNA methylation. Here, we have globally profiled DNA methylation in the lung of Big Blue® mice exposed to SHS for a duration of 4-months, both immediately after the termination of exposure and at several intervals post-exposure. We have used a genome-wide microarray-based approach to catalogue DNA methylation profile in the lung of mice exposed to SHS and at various recovery periods from the time of exposure. Mice exposed to clean air, for comparable amount of times, were used as controls. Mice that were injected intraperitoneally with chronic doses of B(a)P (a powerful carcinogen in SHS) or DMSO (sham) were used for comparison purposes .

Expression data from Human seminal vesicles

Project description:The human seminal plasma is a potential source of biomarkers for male reproductive disorders. A tissue-profiling analysis of the main organs participating in the secretion of this body fluid was conducted to identify tissue-specific genes along the male reproductive tract. Total RNA from non pathological Human seminal vesicles were extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Expression signals in seminal vesicles (present dataset), prostates (GEO; GSE7307), epidydimises (GEO; GSE7808) and testicular samples (Arrayexpress; E-TABM-130) were compared to identify genes that are detected in one of these organs only.

Transcriptomic analysis of the seminal vesicle response to the reproductive toxicant acrylamide

Project description:The seminal vesicles synthesise bioactive factors that support gamete function, modulate the female reproductive tract to promote implantation, and influence developmental programming of offspring phenotype. Despite the significance of the seminal vesicles in reproduction, their biology remains poorly defined. Here, to advance understanding of seminal vesicle biology, we analyse the mouse seminal vesicle transcriptome under normal physiological conditions and in response to acute exposure to the reproductive toxicant acrylamide. Mice were administered acrylamide (25 mg/kg bw/day) or vehicle control daily for five consecutive days prior to collecting seminal vesicle tissue 72 h following the final injection.

Prenatal exposure to benzo[a]pyrene depletes ovarian reserve and masculinizes embryonic ovarian germ cell transcriptome transgenerationally [Bisulfite-Seq]

Project description:People are exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, like benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), via inhalation of particulate matter air pollution and ingestion of grilled and smoked foods. Prenatal exposure to BaP destroys germ cells in ovaries, causing earlier onset of ovarian senescence post-natally. Developing testes are affected at higher doses than ovaries. However, it is not known if adverse effects are transmitted to subsequent generations. We orally dosed pregnant female mice (F0) with 0.033, 0.2, or 2 mg/kg-day BaP or vehicle from embryonic day (E) 6.5-11.5 (F1 offspring) or E6.5-15.5 (F2 and F3). Ovarian germ cell and follicle numbers were significantly decreased in F3 females at all doses of BaP; testicular germ cells were not affected. E13.5 germ cell RNA-sequencing revealed significantly increased expression of male-specific genes in female germ cells across generations and BaP doses. Our study demonstrated that F0 BaP exposure partially disrupted sexual identity of female germ cells transgenerationally.
