Microcystin-LR induced an inhibition of protein synthesis in isolated rat hepatocytes.

ABSTRACT: The effect of microcystin-LR, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A, was studied on protein synthesis by measuring the incorporation of labelled amino acid into protein in isolated rat hepatocytes. Microcystin-LR inhibited protein synthesis in the first minutes of the incubation period, and half-maximum effect was obtained at about 60 nM. Such an inhibition was also observed in the presence of different protein phosphatase inhibitors, i.e. okadaic acid, calyculin A and microcystin-RR. This effect was observed in whole hepatocytes, in the supernatant of the post-mitochondrial fraction and in the microsomal fraction. It was independent of a substrate supply and of the labelled amino acid used. Furthermore, this inhibition preceded the previously reported glucose-6-phosphatase activation induced by microcystin-LR [Claeyssens, Chédeville and Lavoinne (1993) FEBS Lett. 315, 7-10].

Global transcriptomic profiling of microcystin-LR or -RR treated hepatocytes (HepaRG)

Project description:Microcystins (MC) are toxins found in harmful algal blooms. The canonical MC mode of action (MOA) is the inhibition of protein phosphatases, but complete characterization of its toxicity pathway has yet to be identified. The existence of 100s of MC structural congeners further complicates risk estimates. This work employed RNA-seq to provide an unbiased and comprehensive characterization of cellular targets and impacted cellular processes of hepatocytes exposed to either MC-LR or MC-RR congeners. The human hepatocyte cell line, HepaRG, was treated with three concentrations of MC-LR or RR (1000, 100, 10 g/L) for two hours. Significant reduction in cell survival was observed in the LR1000 and LR100 treatments. RNA-seq was performed on the control groups and all concentrations of MC-LR and -RR and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Genes and pathways associated with oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the unfolded protein response (UPR) were highly enriched by both congeners. Enrichment of inflammatory pathways was also evident. In the cytotoxic LR1000 treatment, apoptotic pathways and related genes were identified, suggesting cells pursue both inflammation and apoptosis simultaneously and that cellular fate may be determined by the activation kinetics of jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). We present a model of MC toxicity where MCs cause the production of ROS and oxidative stress leading to ER stress and activation of the UPR. Under non-cytotoxic conditions this leads to an inflammatory and pro-survival cellular response mediated through up-regulation and activation of NF- and its inhibition of JNK. With acute MC exposure, increased ER stress results in the cellular program switching to favor apoptosis by inhibiting NF- resulting in sustained JNK activation and through the activation of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) via the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) arm of the UPR

Project description:Microcystins are produced by the cyanobacteria, most commonly Microcystis aerµginosa. Upon ingestion, toxic microcystins are actively absorbed by fish, birds and mammals where they are primarily liver toxins. Groups of 4-6 rats were exposed to 0, 1, 10, 50 or 100 µg/kg microcystin-LR for 0.5, 1, 3 or 6 hours and gene expression analysis performed on liver with samples hybridized to whole rat genome RG230_2.0 GeneChip arrays (Affymetrix, CA).
