Gene expression and pathologic alterations in juvenile rainbow trout due to chronic dietary TCDD exposure.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this project was to use functional genomic methods to identify molecular biomarkers as indicators of the impact of TCDD exposure in rainbow trout. Specifically, we investigated the effects of chronic dietary TCDD exposure on whole juvenile rainbow trout global gene expression associated with histopathological analysis. Juvenile rainbow trout were fed Biodiet starter with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 ppb (ngTCDD/g food), and fish were sampled from each group at 7, 14, 28 and 42 days after initiation of feeding. 100 ppb TCDD caused 100% mortality at 39 days. Fish fed with 100 ppb TCDD food had TCDD accumulation of 47.37 ppb (ngTCDD/g fish) in whole fish at 28 days. Histological analysis from TCDD-treated trout sampled from 28 and 42 days revealed that obvious lesions were found in skin, oropharynx, liver, gas bladder, intestine, pancreas, nose and kidney. In addition, TCDD caused anemia in peripheral blood, decreases in abdominal fat, increases of remodeling of fin rays, edema in pericardium and retrobulbar hemorrhage in the 100 ppb TCDD-treated rainbow trout compared to the control group at 28 days. Dose- and time-dependent global gene expression analyses were performed using the cGRASP 16,000 (16K) cDNA microarray. TCDD-responsive whole body transcripts identified in the microarray experiments have putative functions involved in various biological processes including growth, cell proliferation, metabolic process, and immune system processes. Nine microarray-identified genes were selected for QPCR validation. CYP1A3 and CYP1A1 were common up-regulated genes and HBB1 was a common down-regulated gene among each group based on microarray data, and their QPCR validations are consistent with microarray data for the 10 and 100 ppb TCDD treatment groups after 28 days exposure (p<0.05). In addition, in the 100 ppb group at 28 days, expression of complement component C3-1 and trypsin-1 precursor have a more than 10-fold induction from the microarray experiments, and their QPCR validations are consistent and showed significant induction in the 100 ppb group at 28 days (p<0.05). Overall, lesion in nasal epithelium is a novel and significant result in this study, and TCDD-responsive rainbow trout transcripts identified in the present study may lead to the development of new molecular biomarkers for assessing the potential impacts of environmental TCDD on rainbow trout populations.

Project description:We investigated the effects of chronic TCDD exposure on global gene expression in developing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Juvenile rainbow trout(0.18M-BM-10.01g) were fed Biodiet starter with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100ppb, and ten fish were sampled and pooled from 10 ppb group at 7, 14, 28 and 42 days for microarray experiments after initiation of the exposure. Gene expression analysis was performed using the Genomics Research on All Salmonids Project (cGRASP) 16K cDNA microarrays. TCDD-responsive whole body transcripts identified in the microarray experiments have putative functions involved in various biological processes including response to stimulus, cell wall organization or biogenesis, growth and cell proliferation. In addition, TCDD caused leisons in multiple organ systems in juvenile rainbow, including skin, oropharynx, liver, gas bladder, intestine, pancreas, nose and kidney. Juvenile rainbow trout (0.18M-BM-10.01g) were fed Biodiet starter (Bio-Oregon) (4% body weight per day) with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 ppb. Fish were sampled and from 10 ppb group at 7, 14, 28 and 42 days for microarray experiments after initiation of the exposure. Total RNA from individual fish was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen).Total RNA of ten control trout were pooled as a common reference which were labeled with Cy3. Total RNA of ten fish of each treatment were labeled wih Cy5. cDNA were synthesized using SuperScript II Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen) (1 M-NM-<g pooled RNA per synthesis). Targets were labeled using the Array 900 Expression Array Detection kit (Genisphere) following the manufacture protocol. 1M-BM-5g RNA of pooled ten control fish were labled with Cy3 and 1M-BM-5g RNA of pooled ten TCDD-treated fish were labled with Cy5, then day-swap was performed. Two arrays were run for each comparison. Microarrays were scanned at 10 M-BM-5m resolution using a ScanArray Express (PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc, Boston, MA). The photomultiplier tube settings (PMT) for Cy3 and Cy5 were 70 and 65-66, respectively. TIFF images of arrays were generated with ScanArray Express software (PerkinElmer). Fluorescence intensity data for Cy3 and Cy5 channels were extracted from TIFF images using ImaGene 7.5 software (BioDiscovery Inc., El Segundo, CA). Background correction, data transformation (setting background corrected values < 0.01 to 0.01), Lowess normalization, and analysis (e.g. fold-change calculations) were performed using GeneSpring GX 7.3 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA)
