High-throughput data integration of RNA-miRNA-circRNA reveals novel insights into mechanisms of benzo[a]pyrene-induced carcinogenicity.

ABSTRACT: The chain of events leading from a toxic compound exposure to carcinogenicity is still barely understood. With the emergence of high-throughput sequencing, it is now possible to discover many different biological components simultaneously. Using two different RNA libraries, we sequenced the complete transcriptome of human HepG2 liver cells exposed to benzo[a]pyrene, a potent human carcinogen, across six time points. Data were integrated in order to reveal novel complex chemical-gene interactions. Notably, we hypothesized that the inhibition of MGMT, a DNA damage response enzyme, by the over-expressed miR-181a-1_3p induced by BaP, may lead to liver cancer over time.

New insights into benzo[⍺]pyrene osteotoxicity in zebrafish

Project description:Persistent and ubiquitous organic pollutants, such as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[⍺]pyrene (BaP), represent a major threat to aquatic organisms and human health. Beside some well-documented adverse effects on the development and reproduction of aquatic organisms, BaP was recently shown to affect fish bone formation and skeletal development through mechanisms that remain poorly understood. In this work, several bone-related in vivo assays were used in zebrafish to evaluate the osteotoxic effects of BaP during bone development and regeneration. Exposure to BaP for 3 days induced a dose-dependent reduction of the size of the opercular bone in 6 days post-fertilization (dpf) larvae, and affected osteoblast maturation as observed by the expression of the mature marker, osteocalcin. Exposure to BaP for 27 days affected the development of the axial skeleton and increased the incidence and severity of skeletal deformities. During bone regeneration, BaP affected the mineralization of newly formed fin rays and scales, while it impaired fin ray patterning and scale shape, through mechanisms that may involve an imbalance of bone remodeling. Transcriptomic and gene expression analyses indicate that BaP induced the activation of xenobiotic and metabolic pathways, while negatively impacting extracellular matrix formation and organization. Interestingly, BaP exposure positively regulated inflammation markers in 6 dpf larvae and increased neutrophil recruitment. A direct interaction between neutrophils and bone extracellular matrix or bone forming cells was observed in vivo, suggesting a role for neutrophils in the mechanisms underlying BaP osteotoxicity. Our work provides novel data on the cellular and molecular players involved in BaP osteotoxicity and brings new insights into a possible role for neutrophils in inflammatory bone reduction.

Enhancing Benzo[a]pyrene Degradation by Pantoea dispersa MSC14 through Biostimulation with Sodium Gluconate: Insights into Mechanisms and Molecular Regulation.

Project description:We investigated biostimulation as an effective strategy for enhancing the degradation efficiency of recalcitrant organic compounds, with MSC14 (a novel polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacterium Pantoea dispersa MSC14) as the study material. Here, we investigated the impact of sodium gluconate on MSC14-mediated degradation of B[a]p. This study focused on the application of sodium gluconate, a biostimulant, on MSC14, targeting Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]p) as the model pollutant. In this study, the novel PAHs-degrading bacterium P. dispersa MSC14 demonstrated the capability to degrade 24.41% of B[a]p after 4 days. The addition of the selected sodium gluconate stimulant at a concentration of 4 g/L stimulated MSC14 to degrade 54.85% of B[a]p after 16 h. Intermediate metabolites were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to infer the degradation pathway. The findings indicated that sodium gluconate promoted the intracellular transport of B[a]p by MSC14, along with the secretion of biosurfactants, enhancing emulsification and solubilization capabilities for improved B[a]p dissolution and degradation. Further analysis through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the formation of a biofilm by MSC14 and an increase in flagella as a response to B[a]p stress. Transcriptome profiling elucidated the interplay of quorum sensing systems, chemotaxis systems, and flagellar systems in the degradation mechanism. Additionally, the study uncovered the molecular basis of B[a]p transport, degradation pathways, metabolic changes, and genetic regulation. In summary, the addition of sodium gluconate promotes the degradation of B[a]p by P. dispersa MSC14, offering the advantages of being rapid, efficient, and cost-effective. This research provides an economically viable approach for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon pollution, with broad potential applications.

DNA adducts as link between in vitro and in vivo carcinogenicity - A case study with benzo[a]pyrene.

Project description:To reduce the need for animal tests, in vitro assays are often used as alternative methods. To derive toxic doses for higher tier organisms from in vitro assay results, quantitative in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (qIVIVE) based on physiological-based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models is typically the preferred approach. Such PBTK models require many input parameters to address the route from dose to target site concentration. However, respective data is very often not available. Hence, our aim is to call attention to an alternative way to build a link between animal (in vivo) and cell-derived (in vitro) toxicity data. To this end, we selected the carcinogenic chemical benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) for our study. Our approach relates both in vitro assay and in vivo data to a main intermediate marker structure for carcinogenicity on the subcellular level - the BaP-DNA adduct BaP-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide-deoxyguanosine. Thus, BaP dose is directly linked to a measure of the toxicity-initiating event. We used Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) and Balb/c 3T3 cell transformation assay as in vitro data and compared these data to outcomes of in vivo carcinogenicity tests in rodents. In vitro and in vivo DNA adduct levels range within three orders of magnitude. Especially metabolic saturation at higher doses and interspecies variabilities are identified and critically discussed as possible sources of errors in our simplified approach. Finally, our study points out possible routes to overcome limitations of the envisaged approach in order to allow for a reliable qIVIVE in the future.

Benzo(a)pyrene induced glycine N-methyltransferase messenger RNA expression in Fundulus heteroclitus embryos.

Project description:Glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) is a mediator in the methionine and folate cycles, and is responsible for the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to glycine forming S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and sarcosine. All the known DNA methyltransferases use SAM as a methyl donor thus, GNMT is critically involved in regulation of DNA methylation. Altered GNMT activities have been associated with liver pathologies including hepatocellular carcinoma. The homotetramer form of GNMT is enzymatically active, but the homodimeric form has been suggested as the 4S PAH-binding protein which may mediate CYP1A expression. To further understand the role of GNMT in benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)-related toxicity, full length Fundulus heteroclitus GNMT cDNA was cloned from adult liver. The open reading frame (ORF) of GNMT is 888 base pairs long and encodes a deduced protein of 295 amino acids which has 74% identity with human GNMT. Expression of GNMT mRNA was determined by quantitative RT-PCR. In unfertilized, 2days postfertilization (dpf), and 3 dpf embryos GNMT was constitutively higher than in 4, 7, 10 or 14 dpf embryos. Embryos were also exposed to waterborne BaP at 10 and 100 μg L⁻¹, and by 10 dpf the higher BaP dose caused increased expression of GNMT mRNA. These results suggest that PAH exposure may alter expression of an important physiological methylation mediator. Future work will be necessary to determine enzyme level effects of BaP exposure as well.

Integration of Epigenetic Mechanisms into Non-Genotoxic Carcinogenicity Hazard Assessment: Focus on DNA Methylation and Histone Modifications.

Project description:Epigenetics involves a series of mechanisms that entail histone and DNA covalent modifications and non-coding RNAs, and that collectively contribute to programing cell functions and differentiation. Epigenetic anomalies and DNA mutations are co-drivers of cellular dysfunctions, including carcinogenesis. Alterations of the epigenetic system occur in cancers whether the initial carcinogenic events are from genotoxic (GTxC) or non-genotoxic (NGTxC) carcinogens. NGTxC are not inherently DNA reactive, they do not have a unifying mode of action and as yet there are no regulatory test guidelines addressing mechanisms of NGTxC. To fil this gap, the Test Guideline Programme of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development is developing a framework for an integrated approach for the testing and assessment (IATA) of NGTxC and is considering assays that address key events of cancer hallmarks. Here, with the intent of better understanding the applicability of epigenetic assays in chemical carcinogenicity assessment, we focus on DNA methylation and histone modifications and review: (1) epigenetic mechanisms contributing to carcinogenesis, (2) epigenetic mechanisms altered following exposure to arsenic, nickel, or phenobarbital in order to identify common carcinogen-specific mechanisms, (3) characteristics of a series of epigenetic assay types, and (4) epigenetic assay validation needs in the context of chemical hazard assessment. As a key component of numerous NGTxC mechanisms of action, epigenetic assays included in IATA assay combinations can contribute to improved chemical carcinogen identification for the better protection of public health.

Molecular Mechanisms of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Interactions in the Regulation of Goose Liver Development.

Project description:The liver, a crucial metabolic organ in animals, is responsible for the synthesis, breakdown, and transport of lipids. However, the regulatory mechanisms involving both coding and noncoding RNAs that oversee the development of the goose liver remain elusive. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap by conducting RNA-seq to profile the expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) during goose liver development. We analyzed circRNAs in liver samples from Sichuan white geese at three developmental stages: posthatching day 0, 10 weeks (fast growth stage), and 30 weeks (sexual maturation stage). Our findings revealed 11,079 circRNAs and 994 miRNAs, among which the differentially expressed circRNAs and miRNAs were significantly enriched in pathways such as fatty acid biosynthesis, degradation, and metabolism. Further analysis of the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs revealed enrichment in pathways related to fatty acid biosynthesis, metabolism, PPAR signaling, DNA replication, and the cell cycle. We also established circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks, identifying key regulatory factors and miRNAs. In conclusion, our study offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions during goose liver development, and illuminates the molecular pathways that regulate this vital life function.

Menadione Suppresses Benzo(α)pyrene-Induced Activation of Cytochromes P450 1A: Insights into a Possible Molecular Mechanism.

Project description:Oxidative reactions that are catalyzed by cytochromes P450 1A (CYP1A) lead to formation of carcinogenic derivatives of arylamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as the widespread environmental pollutant benzo(α)pyrene (BP). These compounds upregulate CYP1A at the transcriptional level via an arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-dependent signaling pathway. Because of the involvement of AhR-dependent genes in chemically induced carcinogenesis, suppression of this signaling pathway could prevent tumor formation and/or progression. Here we show that menadione (a water-soluble analog of vitamin K3) inhibits BP-induced expression and enzymatic activity of both CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 in vivo (in the rat liver) and BP-induced activity of CYP1A1 in vitro. Coadministration of BP and menadione reduced DNA-binding activity of AhR and increased DNA-binding activity of transcription factors Oct-1 and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), which are known to be involved in negative regulation of AhR-dependent genes, in vivo. Expression of another factor involved in downregulation of CYP1A-pAhR repressor (AhRR)-was lower in the liver of the rats treated with BP and menadione, indicating that the inhibitory effect of menadione on CYP1A is not mediated by this protein. Furthermore, menadione was well tolerated by the animals: no signs of acute toxicity were detected by visual examination or by assessment of weight gain dynamics or liver function. Taken together, our results suggest that menadione can be used in further studies on animal models of chemically induced carcinogenesis because menadione may suppress tumor formation and possibly progression.
