Identification of time-dependent biomarkers and effects of exposure to volatile organic compounds using high-throughput analysis (expression)

ABSTRACT: In this study, we examined the effects of VOCs exposure in humans on gene expression using microarray analysis. We recruited participants who had short-term exposure, long-term exposure, or no exposure. We then analyzed changes in gene expression in blood samples from these participants. A total of 866 genes were upregulated, while 366 genes were downregulated in the short-term exposure group. Similarly, in the long-term exposure group, a total of 852 and 480 genes were up- or downregulated, respectively. Hierarchical clustering analysis was used to divide the clustered genes into nine clusters to investigate the expression of variations in accordance with the exposure period. Further research is required to determine the time-dependent effects of VOCs on epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Gene expression of mRNA in human blood samples (IRB #AS 14039) divided into three groups: control (unexposed workers; n = 12), short-term exposure (workers exposed to VOCs for less than 10 years; n = 12), and long-term exposure (workers exposed to VOCs for more than 10 years; n = 12) was experimented by microarray analysis after exposure to VOCs

Identification of time-dependent biomarkers and effects of exposure to volatile organic compounds using high-throughput analysis (methylation)

Project description:Methylation of DNA is one of the common epigenetic signaling tools that cells use to lock the expression of various genes. In this study, we examined the effects of VOCs exposure in humans on methylation using microarray analysis. We recruited participants who had short-term exposure, long-term exposure, or no exposure. We then analyzed changes in methylation in blood samples from these participants. We found that 1178 genes were hypermethylated and 402 genes were hypomethylated compared with the control group in time-dependent manner. Further research is required to determine the time-dependent effects of VOCs on epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Methylation of DNA in human blood samples (IRB #AS 14039) divided into three groups: control (unexposed workers; n = 12), short-term exposure (workers exposed to VOCs for less than 10 years; n = 12), and long-term exposure (workers exposed to VOCs for more than 10 years; n = 12) was experimented by methylation microarray analysis after exposure to VOCs

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.

Global gene expression response in peripheral blood cells of petroleum workers exposed to very low benzene levels

Project description:Benzene, a natural component of petroleum products, is a known hematotoxic and leukemogenic agent. The haematotoxic effect and excess leukemia has been reported below 1 ppm, an exposure level previously considered not to cause any health effects. Gene expression studies suggest that benzene affects genes involved in AML and immune response pathways in a supra-linear manner, and at exposure levels as low as 0.1 ppm benzene. An increased risk of haematopoietic malignancies and altered gene expression also at exposure below 1 ppm is compatible with the emerging knowledge of a non-linear metabolism of benzene, favouring production of a greater proportion of toxic metabolites in subjects exposed to benzene concentrations below 1 ppm than in heavily exposed workers. In the present study, we investigated whether workers found to have a dose-dependent decline in relevant immune cells after benzene-exposure deviated from the unexposed referents in global gene expression changes in whole blood samples, and whether any pathways or genes previously reported in similar low-dose gene expression studies were differentially affected. The study population comprised eight benzene-exposed petroleum workers and five referents deemed unexposed to benzene recruited from the catering section on the same offshore installation (for sampling strategy, see sampling protocol). The two groups significantly differed in age. The dataset was therefore balanced for age by excluding workers at age <35 and >55 in the data modelling to identify significant genes.

Social Regulation of Maternal Traits in Nest-Founding Bumble Bee (Bombus terrestris) Queens

Project description:During the nest-founding phase of the bumble bee colony cycle, queens undergo striking changes in maternal care behavior. Early in the founding phase, prior to the emergence of workers in the nest, queens are reproductive and also provision and feed their offspring. However, later in the founding phase, queens cease feeding offspring and become specialized on reproduction. This transition is synchronized with the emergence of workers in the colony, who assume the task of feeding their siblings. Using a social manipulation experiment, we tested the hypothesis that workers socially regulate the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in nest-founding bumble bee queens. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that early-stage queens with workers prematurely added to their nests reduce their brood-feeding behavior and increase egg-laying, and likewise, late-stage queens increase their brood-feeding behavior and decrease egg-laying when workers are removed from their nests. Further, brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior were negatively correlated in these queens. We used an Agilent brain EST-based microarray to explore a second hypothesis, that workers alter brain gene expression in nest-founding queens. We found evidence that brain gene expression in nest-founding queens is altered by the presence of workers, with the effect much stronger in late-stage founding queens. Additionally, expression levels of some genes were correlated with quantitative differences in brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior. This study provides new insights into how the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in bumble bee queens is regulated during the nest initiation phase of the colony cycle.

Transcriptional profiling by array of Solenopsis invicta (fire ant) workers to identify genes and gene pathways responsible for division of labor

Project description:We used whole-genome fire ant microarrays to examine the molecular basis for division of labor in fire ant workers by comparing foraging and non-foraging workers from monogyne colonies. Fire ant colonies were collected in the field and transported into the lab were they were reared in standard conditions. We created a nesting chamber containing the queen, the brood and workers performing nursing tasks and a foraging area, separated from the nesting chamber and provided with food and water sources. Foraging workers were collected in the foraging area while non-foraging workers were collected in the nesting chamber. Total RNA was isolated from pools of whole workers and processed for microarrays.

Transcription profiling by array of honey bee workers orally exposed to two different pesticides (coumaphos, fluvalinate)

Project description:We explored the impact of coumaphos and fluvalinate, the two most abundant and frequently detected pesticides in the hive, on genome-wide gene expression patterns of honey bee workers. We found significant changes in 1118 transcripts, including genes involved in detoxification, behavioral maturation, immunity, and nutrition. Our results demonstrate that pesticide exposure can substantially impact expression of genes involved in several core physiological pathways in honey bee workers.
