Project description:Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor (ED), has raised concerns for both human and ecosystem health. Epigenetic factors, including microRNAs, are key regulators of gene expression during cancer. The effect of BPA exposure on the zebrafish epigenome remains poorly characterized. Zebrafish represents an excellent model to study cancer as the organism develops disease that resembles human cancer. Using zebrafish as systems toxicology model, we hypothesized that chronic BPA-exposure impacts the miRNome in adult zebrafish and establishes an epigenome more susceptible to cancer development. After a 21 day exposure to 100 nM BPA, RNA from the liver was extracted to perform high throughput mRNA and miRNA sequencing. Differential expression (DE) analyses comparing BPA-exposed to control specimens were performed using established bioinformatics pipelines. In the BPA-exposed liver, 6,188 mRNAs and 15 miRNAs were differently expressed (q ≤ 0.1). By analyzing human orthologs of the DE zebrafish genes signatures associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction and cell cycle were uncovered. Chronic exposure to BPA has a significant impact on the liver miRNome in adult zebrafish and has the potential to cause adverse outcomes including cancer.

Project description:In this study, developing zebrafish were exposed to 500-4500 µg/L BPA for 7 days from 3 hours post-fertilization for a microarray experiment to obtain molecular insights into BPA early-life exposure toxicity. We analyzed a total of 18 arrays; five biological replicate arrays for zebrafish treated with 500 µg/L BPA, four biological replicate arrays for zebrafish treated with 1500 µg/L BPA, four biological replicate arrays for zebrafish treated with 4500 µg/L BPA against 5 biological replicate arrays for control fish. A common reference sample was used for both treated and control samples.

Project description:Environmental factors during perinatal development influence developmental plasticity and disease susceptibility via alterations to the epigenome. Developmental exposure to the endocrine active compound, bisphenol A (BPA), has previously been associated with altered methylation at candidate gene loci. Here, we undertake the first genome-wide characterization of DNA methylation profiles in the liver of murine offspring perinatally exposed to multiple doses of BPA through the maternal diet. Using a tiered focusing approach, our strategy proceeds from unbiased broad DNA methylation analysis using methylation-based next generation sequencing technology to in-depth quantitative site-specific CpG methylation determination using the Sequenom EpiTYPER MassARRAY platform to profile liver DNA methylation patterns in offspring maternally exposed to BPA during gestation and lactation to doses ranging from 0 BPA/kg (Ctr), 50 M-BM-5g BPA/kg (UG), or 50 mg BPA/kg (MG) diet (N=4 per group). Genome-wide analyses indicate non-monotonic effects of DNA methylation patterns following perinatal exposure to BPA, corroborating previous studies using multiple doses of BPA with non-monotonic outcomes. We observed enrichment of regions of altered methylation (RAMs) within CpG island (CGI) shores, but little evidence of RAM enrichment in CGIs. An analysis of promoter regions identified several hundred novel BPA-associated methylation events, and methylation alterations in the Myh7b and Slc22a12 gene promoters were validated. Using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, a number of candidate genes that have previously been associated with BPA-related gene expression changes were identified, and gene set enrichment testing identified epigenetically dysregulated pathways involved in metabolism and stimulus response. In this study, non-monotonic dose dependent alterations in DNA methylation among BPA-exposed mouse liver samples and their relevant pathways were identified and validated. The comprehensive methylome map presented here provides candidate loci underlying the role of early BPA exposure and later in life health and disease status. For this study, liver DNA from a subset of a/a wild-type animals was analyzed for full methylome characteristics: 1) standard diet (Ctr, n = 4 offspring; 2 male and 2 female); 2) 50 M-BM-5g BPA/kg diet (UG, n = 4 offspring; 2 male and 2 female); 3) 50 mg BPA/kg diet (MG, n = 4 offspring; 1 male and 3 female).

Project description:Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) have the potential to cause adverse effects on wildlife and human health. Two important EDCs are the synthetic estrogen 17a-ethynylestradiol (EE2) and bisphenol A (BPA) both of which are xenoestrogens (XEs) as they bind the estrogen receptor and disrupt estrogen physiology in mammals and other vertebrates. In recent years the influence of XEs on oncogenes, specifically in relation to breast and prostate cancer has been the subject of considerable study. In this study healthy primary human prostate epithelial cells (PrECs) were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of BPA (5nM and 25nM BPA) and interrogated using a whole genome microarray. Microarray data were analyzed using the Pipeline for Integrated Microarray Expression and Normalization Toolkit (PIMENTo) that provides (1) data pre-processing, (2) and normalization to remove the technical variability across arrays data, (3) data visualization, (4) background subtraction, (5) quality control, and (6) differential expression (DE) analysis using the Bioconductor package 'limma'. Exposure to 5 and 25nM BPA generated 8,876 and 9,525 differentially expressed (DE) genes respectively in treated PrECs. Exposure to EE2 had the greatest effect on the PrEC transcriptome (2,389 DE genes) and all three exposures shared 7,011 common DE genes. Together, the low and high dose of BPA affected 1,839 genes not shared with the EE2 exposure.

Project description:Effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on ovarian transcript profiles as well as targeted endpoints with endocrine/reproductive relevance were examined in two fish species, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and zebrafish (Danio rerio), exposed in parallel using matched experimental designs. Four days of waterborne exposure to 10 µg BPA caused significant vitellogenin induction in both species. However, zebrafish were less sensitive to effects on hepatic gene expression and steroid production than fathead minnow and the magnitude of vitellogenin induction was more modest. The concentration-response at the ovarian transcriptome level was non-monotonic and violated assumptions that underlie proposed methods for estimating hazard thresholds from transcriptomic results. However, the non-monotonic profile was consistent among species and there were nominal similarities in the functions associated with the differentially expressed genes, suggesting potential activation of common pathway perturbation motifs in both species. Overall, the results provide an effective case study for considering the potential application of ecotoxicogenomics to ecological risk assessments and provide novel comparative data regarding effects of BPA in fish. Fish were exposed to 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10, or 100 µg BPA/L delivered in a continuous flow (45 ml/min) of sand filtered, UV treated, Lake Superior Water, without the use of carrier solvents. The design employed six replicate tanks per treatment. Three of the replicates were loaded with three male and three female zebrafish per tank, while the remaining three replicates were loaded with three male and three female fathead minnows. Addition of fish to the exposure tanks was staggered by replicate such that all sampling could be completed within 60 min of the desired 96 h exposure duration. After 96 h of exposure, fish were anesthetized in a buffered solution of tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222; Finquel; Argent, Redmond, WA, USA) and weighed. Blood was collected from the caudal vasculature using microhematocrit tubes, centrifuged to separate the plasma, and plasma was stored at -80oC until analyzed. Liver, gonad, and brain tissues (including pituitary gland) were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80oC until extracted. Total RNA was isolated from ovary tissue of both fathead minnow and zebrafish using RNeasy kits (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). RNA quality was evaluated using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Wilmington, DE, USA) and RNA was quantified spectrophotometrically (Nanodrop). Total RNA samples were stored at -80oC until used for microarray analyses. Ovarian transcripts from 32 fathead minnows (n=5 per treatment, except for control and 1.0 µg BPA/L, n=6) were analyzed using a custom, 15,000 gene microarray (GEO Platform Accession GPL9248) purchased from Agilent Technologies (Palo Alto, CA, USA). Ovarian transcripts from 34 zebrafish (n=6 per treatment, except 0.01 and 0.1 µg BPA/L, n=5) were analyzed using a commercial 44,000 feature microarray (Agilent design 019161; GEO Platform Accession GPL6457). The same hybridization and scanning procedures were used for both platforms. Briefly, microarrays were hybridized following the manufacturer’s guidelines for One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis (version 5.7; Agilent). Hybridizations were conducted with 1 µg of total RNA. Complementary DNA synthesis, cRNA labeling, amplification, and hybridizations were performed following the manufacturer’s kits and protocols (Quick Amp labeling kit; Agilent). Scanning was conducted at 5 µm resolution using an Axon GenePix® 4000B Microarray Scanner (Molecular Devices Inc., Concord, Ontario, Canada). Data were extracted from microarray array images using Agilent Feature Extraction Software (Agilent; Palo Alto, CA, USA).
