Induction of protein citrullination and auto-antibodies production in murine exposed to nickel nanomaterials.

ABSTRACT: Citrullination, or the post-translational deimination of polypeptide-bound arginine, is involved in several pathological processes in the body, including autoimmunity and tumorigenesis. Recent studies have shown that nanomaterials can trigger protein citrullination, which might constitute a common pathogenic link to disease development. Here we demonstrated auto-antibody production in serum of nanomaterials-treated mice. Citrullination-associated phenomena and PAD levels were found to be elevated in nanomaterials -treated cell lines as well as in the spleen, kidneys and lymph nodes of mice, suggesting a systemic response to nanomaterials injection, and validated in human pleural and pericardial malignant mesothelioma (MM) samples. The observed systemic responses in mice exposed to nanomaterials support the evidence linking exposure to environmental factors with the development of autoimmunity responses and reinforces the need for comprehensive safety screening of nanomaterials. Furthermore, these nanomaterials induce pathological processes that mimic those observed in Pleural MM, and therefore require further investigations into their carcinogenicity.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from immune mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells. However, clinical and immunologic phenotypes of T1DM are variable. Several auto-antibodies including GADA, IA-2A, and ZnT8A, were identified in T1DM, but the prevalence of these auto-antibodies varied for a broad spectrum of T1DM. Here, we systemically profiled auto-antibodies from serum samples of 16 T1DM, 16 type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients, and 27 healthy controls with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) using protein microarrays containing 9,480 proteins. Among 9,480 different proteins on the array, we identified novel auto-antibody candidates (EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb) by M-test coupled with PLS-DA. These auto-antibodies were highly present in T1DM than controls and detected in 40% of T1DM without GADA. Furthermore, these auto-antibodies might help to differentiate subtype of T1DM when combined with GADA. These novel auto-antibodies provide new diagnostic information of T1DM, as well as new insights into the pathogenesis of T1DM. Auto-antibodies from serum samples were profiled using a high-density, fluorescence-based protein microarray containing duplicate spots of 9,480 human proteins derived from the Ultimate ORF collection The cohort of patients and controls consisted of 16 T1DM, 16 T2DM patients, and 27 healthy controls with NGT. This cohort was used to screen candidate auto-antibodies using protein microarrays (ProtoArray platform version 5.0, Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA). Serum samples were drawn from T1DM patients who have 1) fasting C-peptide level <0.3 nmol/L or serum C-peptide <0.6 nmol/L after glucagon loading, 2) initiation of insulin treatment within six months after diagnosis, and 3) duration of diabetes M-bM-^IM-$12 months. Mean age of T1DM in the first cohort was 42 M-BM-1 16 years. The control serum samples were obtained from T2DM patients who were treated only with oral anti-diabetic drug at least 5 years and from NGTs who had no history of diabetes, no first-degree relatives with diabetes, a fasting plasma glucose concentration of <6.1 mmol/l, and a HbA1c value of <5.8%.

Project description:The toxicokinetics of nanomaterials are an important factor in toxicity, which may be affected by slow clearance and/or distribution in the body.Four types of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles were single-administered intratracheally to male F344 rats at three doses of 0.67-6.0 mg/kg body weight. The rats were sacrificed under anesthesia and the lung, thoracic lymph nodes, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, liver, and other organs were sampled for Ni burden measurement 3, 28, and 91 days post-administration; Ni excretion was measured 6 and 24 h after administration. Solubility of NiO nanoparticles was determined using artificial lysosomal fluid, artificial interstitial fluid, hydrogen peroxide solution, pure water, and saline. In addition, macrophage migration to trachea and phagosome-lysosome-fusion rate constants were estimated using pulmonary clearance and dissolution rate constants.The wire-like NiO nanoparticles were 100% dissolved by 24 h when mixed with artificial lysosomal fluid (dissolution rate coefficient: 0.18/h); spherical NiO nanoparticles were 12% and 35% dissolved after 216 h when mixed with artificial lysosomal fluid (1.4?×?10-3 and 4.9?×?10-3/h). The largest irregular-shaped NiO nanoparticles hardly dissolved in any solution, including artificial lysosomal fluid (7.8?×?10-5/h). Pulmonary clearance rate constants, estimated using a one-compartment model, were much higher for the NiO nanoparticles with a wire-shape (0.069-0.078/day) than for the spherical and irregular-shaped NiO nanoparticles (0-0.012/day). Pulmonary clearance rate constants of the largest irregular-shaped NiO nanoparticles showed an inverse correlation with dose. Translocation of NiO from the lungs to the thoracic lymph nodes increased in a time- and dose-dependent manner for three spherical and irregular-shaped NiO nanoparticles, but not for the wire-like NiO nanoparticles. Thirty-five percent of the wire-like NiO nanoparticles were excreted in the first 24 h after administration; excretion was 0.33-3.6% in that time frame for the spherical and irregular-shaped NiO nanoparticles.These findings suggest that nanomaterial solubility differences can result in variations in their pulmonary clearance. Nanoparticles with moderate lysosomal solubility may induce persistent pulmonary inflammation.
