Project description:Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental endocrine disruptor which has been detected in almost all human bodies. Many studies have implied that BPA exposure is harmful to human health. Previous studies mainly focused on BPA effects on ER-positive cells. Genome-wide impact of BPA on gene regulation in ER-negative cells is unclear. In the present study, we performed RNA-seq to characterize BPA-induced gene regulation on ER-negative HEK 293 cells.

Project description:We used the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) as our animal model for the current study with two goals: to characterize the changes in histology and gene expression from early to late gestation (prenatal uterine organogenesis) and to determine if there are effects of prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) on the developing female uterus. Pregnant rhesus monkeys carrying a female fetus (N=22) were divided into two experimental groups, based on gestational timing: 'early' (N=10) and 'late' (N=12). These groups were then equally sub-divided into control (unexposed) and BPA (exposed) groups (5 Early Control, 5 Early BPA-exposed, 6 Late Control and 6 Late BPA-exposed.) The BPA-exposed monkeys received a deuterated BPA (dBPA, CDN Isotopes, Quebec, Canada) fruit treat on a daily basis, at a dose of 400ug/kg/day). The dosing was aimed at achieving serum levels of BPA detected in adult human biomonitoring studies. The control animals received a vehicle control on a daily basis. The 'early' time period (mid-gestation) referred to gestational days 50-100, approximating the second trimester of human gestation. The fetal monkeys in the 'early' group were delivered via cesarean section on gestation day 100 and euthanized. Samples of maternal and fetal blood and amniotic fluid were obtained. Maternal and fetal weights were also recorded. The 'late' time period referred to gestational days 100-165, approximating the third trimester of human gestation. The fetal monkeys in the 'late' group were delivered vaginally and euthanized. There were five idiopathic stillbirths (2 Control, 3 BPA-exposed) in the late group. Samples of maternal and fetal blood and amniotic fluid were obtained. Maternal and fetal weights were also recorded. After delivery, the fetal uterus was excised and cut sagitally from fundus to cervix; one side was fixed for histological evaluation and the other half was frozen for analysis of gene expression by microarray. The stillbirths were excluded from the microarray.

Project description:Bisphenol A (BPA) is a xenobiotic endocrine disrupting chemical. In vitro and in vivo studies indicated that BPA alters endocrine-metabolic pathways in adipose tissue increasing the risk of developing metabolic disorders. BPA effects on human adipocytes, specifically in children, are poorly investigated. To investigate in childhood the effect of exposure to BPA on metabolic disorders we analyzed in vitro the effects of environmentally relevant doses of BPA on gene expression of mature human adipocytes from pre-pubertal lean patients and on related physiological outcomes. Adipocytes from children were treated in vitro with BPA and gene expression was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Genome wide analyses were performed using GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST array. Lipid content in adipocytes was estimated by ORO staining and Triglyceride Quantification Kit. Secreted IL-1beta, in adipocytes culture medium, and insulin, in PANC-1 culture medium, were performed using ELISA assays. BPA was found to promote up-regulation of ER? and ERR?, and down-regulation of GPR30 expression modulating estrogen signaling and following a non-linear dose-response. Microarray data analysis demonstrated that BPA increases the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lipid metabolism-related FABP4 and CD36 in adipocytes. PCSK1 resulted the most interesting gene being down-regulated by BPA thus impairing insulin production in pancreas. BPA promotes inflammation and lipid metabolism dysregulation in adipocytes from lean children. Moreover, PCSK1 can be a key gene in BPA action modulating insulin production. Exposure to BPA in childhood may be an important risk factor in developing obesity and metabolic disorders. Three prototypic situations were analyzed (5 replication each): untreated cells (C), 10 nM BPA treated cells (BPA), 1 nM 17-beta Estradiol treated cells (ES).

Project description:Environmental factors during perinatal development influence developmental plasticity and disease susceptibility via alterations to the epigenome. Developmental exposure to the endocrine active compound, bisphenol A (BPA), has previously been associated with altered methylation at candidate gene loci. Here, we undertake the first genome-wide characterization of DNA methylation profiles in the liver of murine offspring perinatally exposed to multiple doses of BPA through the maternal diet. Using a tiered focusing approach, our strategy proceeds from unbiased broad DNA methylation analysis using methylation-based next generation sequencing technology to in-depth quantitative site-specific CpG methylation determination using the Sequenom EpiTYPER MassARRAY platform to profile liver DNA methylation patterns in offspring maternally exposed to BPA during gestation and lactation to doses ranging from 0 BPA/kg (Ctr), 50 M-BM-5g BPA/kg (UG), or 50 mg BPA/kg (MG) diet (N=4 per group). Genome-wide analyses indicate non-monotonic effects of DNA methylation patterns following perinatal exposure to BPA, corroborating previous studies using multiple doses of BPA with non-monotonic outcomes. We observed enrichment of regions of altered methylation (RAMs) within CpG island (CGI) shores, but little evidence of RAM enrichment in CGIs. An analysis of promoter regions identified several hundred novel BPA-associated methylation events, and methylation alterations in the Myh7b and Slc22a12 gene promoters were validated. Using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, a number of candidate genes that have previously been associated with BPA-related gene expression changes were identified, and gene set enrichment testing identified epigenetically dysregulated pathways involved in metabolism and stimulus response. In this study, non-monotonic dose dependent alterations in DNA methylation among BPA-exposed mouse liver samples and their relevant pathways were identified and validated. The comprehensive methylome map presented here provides candidate loci underlying the role of early BPA exposure and later in life health and disease status. For this study, liver DNA from a subset of a/a wild-type animals was analyzed for full methylome characteristics: 1) standard diet (Ctr, n = 4 offspring; 2 male and 2 female); 2) 50 M-BM-5g BPA/kg diet (UG, n = 4 offspring; 2 male and 2 female); 3) 50 mg BPA/kg diet (MG, n = 4 offspring; 1 male and 3 female).

Project description:Here, we performed the first iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis of early embryonic longissimus dorsi muscle from Landrance (LR) and miniature pig (Wuzhishan WZS) ranging from 21 to 42 days post coitus (dpc). 4431 proteins were identified. In both WZS and LR, the largest amount of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found between 28 and 35 dpc. 252 breed-DEPs were selected by GO analysis, including 8 myofibrillar proteins. Only MYHCⅠ/IIA mRNA were detected due to early embryonic stages, and significantly higher expression of them were found in WZS during these 4 stages. MYHCⅠ was first found in WZS at 28 dpc and expressed in both breeds at later stages, while MYHCII protein was not detected until 35 dpc in both breeds. Thus, 33 myogenic breed-DEPs selected from last two stages were analyzed by STRING, which showed that some myofibrillar proteins (MYH1, TPM4, MYH10, et.al) and functional proteins (CSRP2, CASQ2, OTC, et.al), together with candidate myogenic proteins (H3F3A, HDGFRP2, et.al), probably participate in the regulatory network of myofiber formation. Thus, our study provides new data on myofiber type development during early embryo stages, which contributes to the improved understanding in the regulation mechanism of early myogenesis in agricultural animals.

Project description:Bisphenol A (BPA) is primarily used to make polycarbonate plastic, with a global capacity of production exceeding 8 million tons per year. Biomonitoring studies with human urine, blood and tissue samples suggest that humans are subjected to widespread and continuous exposure to BPA. It has been well established that early life exposure to BPA predisposes the prostate gland to carcinogenesis later in life. However, it remains unknown if BPA exposure during adulthood induces benign or neoplastic pathology in the prostate. The main objective of the present study is to determine the effects of BPA exposures during adulthood on the prostate and to characterize the global transcriptional reprogramming underlying endocrine disruption by BPA. We elevated circulating levels of free BPA in Noble rats to the human-relevant internal dose range with BPA-filled Silastic implants while maintaining the physiological levels of testosterone (T) with T-filled implants. Cotreatment with T and 17β-estradiol (E2) was our reference regimen which induced preneoplastic and cancereous lesions. The T + low/high dose of BPA induced prostatic hyperplasia, low-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (LGPIN) and intraepithelial infiltration of T-lymphocytes specifically in the lateral prostate (LP). Using microarray analysis, we delineated specific impacts of low and high dose of BPA (with the T-support) on the gene expression program in LPs. Hierarchical clustering revealed that the endocrine disrupting effects of T + low dose of BPA showed partial resemblance to those of T + high dose of BPA and T+E2. In contrast, the influence of T+ high dose of BPA on the LP transcriptome was completely different from those of T + E2. Further, IPA analysis of specific T+ low or high BPA gene signature identified a transcription factor, HNF4α, as a regulatory hub affecting a number of differentially expressed genes by BPA exposures. These findings suggest that the adult rat prostate is still venerable to the endocrine disrupting effects of BPA. Perhaps chronic exposure to low dose of BPA provides a niche comprising heightened cell proliferation, inflammatory responses and disrupted gene expression program, which favor the onset and development of prostatic benign or malignant diseases in men. Rat lateral prostates were collected from untreated control and treated groups [Testosterone (T) + Estradiol (E2), T + low dose Bisphenol A (low BPA) and T + high BPA] for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify transcriptional signature of BPA exposures in the lateral prostate gland.

Project description:Xenoestrogens are part of a group of agents termed endocrine disruptors because of their capacity to perturb normal hormonal actions. It has been suggested that xenoestrogens may contribute to the development of hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast and endometrial cancers. Bisphenol A (BPA) is polymerized to manufacture polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. Human exposure occurs when BPA leaches from plastic-lined food and beverage cans. In the present work we are aiming to determine if BPA has carcinogenic properties by using an in vitro system. For this purpose the human breast epithelial cells MCF-10F were treated with 10-3M to 10-9M BPA continuously for two weeks. The MCF-10F cells treated with 10-3M and 10-4M BPA died, indicating that these concentrations were toxic for the human breast epithelial cells. The cells treated with 10-5M to 10-9M BPA were evaluated for formation of solid masses in collagen and invasion capacity, both phenotypes that are indicators of cell transformation. MCF-10F treated with 10-5M, 10-6M, 10-7M, 10-8M and 10-9M BPA formed a high percentage of solid masses (34.6%, 20%, 42.4%, 31.8% and 32.2%, respectively). Ten passages after BPA treatments, the invasive capacities of the cells were evaluated using Boyden chambers. The invasion capacity was lower in the cells treated at high concentrations of BPA (10-5M and 10-6M), and there was an increased invasion for the cells treated at low BPA concentration (10-9M) although, in all the cases the differences were not significant to the controls. Expression and DNA methylation analyses were performed with the cells treated with 10-5M and 10-6M BPA. We found that these cells showed an increased expression of BRCA1, BARD1, CtIP, RAD51 and BRCC3, all genes involved in DNA repair, and downregulation of PDCD5 and BCL2L11 (also known as BIM), both involved in apoptosis. The upregulation of CtIP was related to hypomethylation of the promoter/exon1 of this gene. Furthermore, BPA induced silencing of BCL2L11 by hypermethylation. This is the first demonstration that BPA induces neoplastic transformation of breast epithelial cells and that aberrant DNA methylation of genes involved in DNA repair and apoptosis could be involved in the initiation of the neoplastic process. MCF-10F, a normal-like human breast epithelial cell (HBEC) line that is ERalpha-negative PR-negative, was maintained in high-calcium medium at 37°C and 5% CO2 until confluent. These cells were treated with different concentrations of BPA continuously for two weeks, adding fresh media every day. As controls, MCF-10F cells were not treated and maintained in the regular media or treated with 0.284% DMSO (vehicle). The cells treated with 10-5M or 10-6M BPA after the invasion assay were collected and expanded during 6 passages. RNA was isolated from the cells using an RNA extraction kit (Qiagen).

Project description: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 µg/kg body weight) of BPA during early (50 –100 ± 2 days post conception, dpc) or late (100 ± 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.
