Maternal Bisphenol A effect on fetal heart and skeletal muscle gene expression

ABSTRACT: Compairsion of transcriptional profiles of heart and skeletal muscle tissue of fetal rhesus monkey exposed to maternal Bisphenol A or vehicle during early or late gestaion. Maternal exposure to the endocrine disrupting chemical, bisphenol A (BPA) affects the development of multiple organ systems in rodents and monkeys. However, effects of BPA exposure on cardiac and skeletal muscle development have not been assessed. Given that maternal BPA crosses placenta and reaches developing fetus, examining the physiological consequences of gestational exposure during development is of research significance. Therefore, we evaluate the effects of daily, oral BPA exposure of pregnant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) on the fetal heart and skeletal muscle transcriptome. Pregnant monkeys were administered daily oral doses (400 M-BM-5g/kg body weight) of BPA during early (50 M-bM-^@M-^S100 M-BM-1 2 days post conception, dpc) or late (100 M-BM-1 2 dpc - term), gestation. At the end of treatment, fetal heart tissues; left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), left atrium (LA), right atrium (RA) and skeletal muscle; biceps femoris (BFM), were collected. Transcriptome expression was assessed using genome-wide microarray in each of the tissues and compared paired-wise between the BPA and matched control fetuses. Our results show that maternal BPA exposure alters transcriptional profile of several coding and non-coding genes in fetal heart and skeletal muscle. Pregnant rhesus monkey were administered a daily oral dose of 400 M-NM-

Project description:Background: Lamins A/C (encoded by the LMNA gene) can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Objectives: This study sought to undertake proteomic analysis of myocardial tissue to explore the postgenomic phenotype of end-stage lamin heart disease. Methods: Consecutive patients with end-stage lamin heart disease (LMNA-group, n=7) and ischaemic DCM (ICM-group, n=7) undergoing heart transplantation were enrolled. Samples were obtained from left atrium(LA), left ventricle(LV), right atrium(RA), right ventricle(RV) and interventricular septum(IVS). Liquid chromatography combined with mass-spectrometry was used for protein quantification. We compared protein concentrations in cardiac samples between LMNA and ICM groups. Proteins were considered differentially abundant if the quantitative difference was 1.5-fold and corrected p-value <0.05 at a false discovery rate of 0.01. Gene ontology(GO) enrichment analysis explored the related biological processes. Results: 4,247 proteins were identified in LMNA and ICM samples, of which 633 were differentially abundant in LA, 39 in LV, 181 in RA, 52 in RV, and 85 in IVS. Abundance of lamin A/C was reduced but lamin B (LMNB) increased in LMNA LA/RA tissue compared to ICM, but not in LV/RV. Transthyretin was more abundant in the LV/RV of LMNA compared to ICM while sarcomeric proteins such as titin and cardiac myosin heavy chain were generally reduced in RA/LA of LMNA. Protein expression profiling and GO enrichment analysis revealed sarcopenia, extracellular matrix(ECM) remodeling, deficient myocardial energetics, redox imbalances, and abnormal calcium handling in LMNA samples. Conclusion: Lamin heart disease is a biventricular and biatrial disease, characterized by sarcopenia, aberrant metabolism, and ECM remodeling. LMNB and transthyretin were unexpectedly abundant in the atria and ventricles respectively of patients with end-stage lamin heart disease potentially hinting to the possibility of compensatory responses.
