Project description:Aristolochic acid (AA) is the causative agent of urothelial tumours associated with aristolochic acid nephropathy and is also implicated in the development of Balkan endemic nephropathy-associated urothelial tumours. These tumours contain AA-characteristic TP53 mutations. We examined gene expression changes in Hupki (human TP53 knock-in) mice after treatment with aristolochic acid I (AAI) by gavage (5 mg/kg body weight). After 3, 12 and 21 days of treatment gene expression profiles were investigated using Agilent Whole Mouse 44K Genome Oligo Array. Expression profiles were significantly altered by AAI treatment in both target (kidney) and non-target (liver) tissue. Renal pathology and DNA adduct analysis confirmed kidney as the target tissue of AAI-induced toxicity. Gene ontology for functional analysis revealed that processes related to apoptosis, cell cycle, stress response, immune system, inflammatory response and kidney development were altered in kidney. Canonical pathway analysis indicated Nfkb, aryl hydrocarbon receptor, Tp53 and cell cycle signalling as the most important pathways modulated in kidney. Expression of Nfkb1 and other Nfkb-target genes was confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and was consistent with the induction of Nfkb1 protein. Myc oncogene, frequently over-expressed in urothelial tumours, was up-regulated by AAI on the microarrays and confirmed by qRT-PCR and protein induction. Collectively we found that microarray gene expression analysis is a useful tool to define tissue-specific responses in AAI-induced toxicity. Several genes identified such as TP53, Rb1, Mdm2, Cdkn2a and Myc are frequently affected in human urothelial cancer, and may be valuable prognostic markers in future clinical studies.

Project description:Aristolochic Acid (AA), a natural component of Aristolochia plants found in a variety of herbal remedies and health supplements, is classified as a group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. In order to search for miRNA regulation in AA-induced carcinogenesis, we treated rats with 10 mg/kg AA and vehicle control for 12 weeks and eight kidney samples (4 for the treatment and 4 for the control) were used for examining miRNA by deep sequencing.

Project description:This study presents a comprehensive multi-omic analysis of upper urinary tract urothelial tumours (UTUC) and urines of patients with past exposure to carcinogenic aristolochic acid (AA). We determined complex miRNA:mRNA tumor networks and their key protein components. Tumor exome and transcriptome sequencing revealed a burden of AA-specific mutations in UTUC and identified deleteriously mutated genes and their mRNA transcripts. A subset of identified urinary miRNAs presents potential biomarkers of UTUC development or presence. Recurrent upper urinary tract carcinomas (UTUC) arise in the context of nephropathy linked to exposure to the herbal carcinogen aristolochic acid (AA). We aimed to delineate the detailed biological programs underlying UTUC tumorigenesis in patients from endemic aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) regions in Southern Europe, by using an integrative multi-omics analysis of UTUCs, corresponding unaffected tissues and of patient urines. Quantitative miRNA and mRNA expression profiling, immunohistochemical analysis by tissue microarrays, and exome and transcriptome sequencing were performed in UTUC and non-tumor tissues. Urinary miRNAsof cases undergoing surgery were profiled before and after UTUC resection. RNA and protein levels were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests and trend assessment. Dedicated bioinformatic tools were used for analysis of pathways, mutational signatures and result visualization. The results delineate UTUC-specific miRNA:mRNA networks comprising 89 miRNAs associated with 1862 target mRNAs and involving deregulation of cell cycle, DNA damage response, DNA repair, bladder cancer, oncogenes, tumor suppressors, chromatin structure regulators and developmental signaling pathways. Key UTUC-specific transcriptome components were confirmed at the protein level. Exome and transcriptome sequencing of UTUC revealed AA-specific COSMIC mutational signature 22, with 68-76% AA-specific, deleterious mutations propagated at the mRNA level. We next identified a signature of UTUC-specific miRNAs consistently more abundant in the patients’ urine prior to tumor resection. The gene regulation programs of AAN-associated UTUC tumors are highly complex and involve regulatory miRNAs prospectively applicable to non-invasive urine-based screening of AAN patients for cancer recurrence.

Project description:Aristolochic acid (AA) is a major ingredient in several Chinese herbs that exhibits a wide range of pharmacological effects. Recently, clinical reports and experimental studies have demonstrated that AA causes renal toxicities, acute renal failure and interstitial fibrosis.However, the molecular mechanism underlying AA nephrotoxicity is not yet fully understood. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells isolated from early embryos, which have highly undifferentiated potential and are capable of differentiating into all kinds of body tissues and organs. It has been reported that ESCs are sensitive to drug stimulation, and thus may serve as important tools for in vitro assessment of drug toxicity. We aimed to identify accurate biomarkers of AA-induced renal toxicity on ESCs. Genomics analysis was performed to screen the changes in gene expression levels of ESCs following treatment with AA, in order to determine the potential biological processes in which AA induces renal toxicity.

Project description:Aim： Use microarray analysis to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of aristolochic acid (AA), a major active component of plants from the Aristolochiaceae family, in normal human kidney (HK-2) cells. Methods： HK-2 cells were treated with AA for 24 hours and cell viability was measured by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Complementary DNA microarrays were used to investigate the gene expression pattern of HK-2 cells exposed to AA and the results of this study were in triplicate. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR assay was used to verify the microarray data for selected nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-regulated genes. Furthermore, subcellular localization of NF-κB p65 was visualized by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy in HK-2 cells. NF-κB activity was examined by luciferase reporter assay in HK-2/NF-κB transgenic cells. Results： AA exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect in HK-2 cells and induced alterations in gene expression profiles related to DNA damage response, stress response, etc. In addition, 9 biological pathways associated with immunomodulatory functions were down-regulated in AA-treated HK-2 cells. Network analysis revealed that NF-κB played a central role in the network topology. Among NF-kB-regulated genes, 8 differentially expressed genes were verified by real-time RT-PCR. The inhibition of NF-κB activity by AA was further confirmed by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy and by NF-κB luciferase reporter assay. Conclusion： Our data revealed that AA could suppress NF-κB activity in normal human cells, perhaps partially accounting for the reported anti-inflammatory effects of some plants from the genus Aristolochia. HK-2 cells were grown in keratinocyte serum-free basal medium (Gibco) supplemented with 5 ng/ml of recombinant epidermal growth factor and 50 μg/ml of bovine pituitary extract without antibiotics in 5 % CO2 at 370C. HK-2 cells were seeded in 25-T flasks and incubated for 24 h before aristolochic acid treatment. Aristolochic acid (10 90 μM) were added to HK-2 cells for 24 h. The control cells received equal amounts of water only.
