Project description:Exposure to environmental contaminants can disrupt normal development of the early vertebrate skeleton. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) impairs craniofacial skeletal development across many vertebrate species and its effects are especially prominent in early life stages of fish. TCDD activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a transcription factor that mediates most if not all TCDD responses. We investigated the transcriptional response in the developing zebrafish jaw following TCDD exposure using DNA microarrays. Zebrafish larvae were exposed to TCDD at 96 h postfertilization (hpf) and jaw cartilage tissue was harvested for microarray analysis at 1, 2, 4 and 12 h postexposure (hpe). Numerous chondrogenic transcripts were misregulated by TCDD in the jaw. Comparison of transcripts altered by TCDD in jaw with transcripts altered in embryonic heart showed that the transcriptional responses in the jaw and the heart were strikingly different. Sox9b, a critical chondrogenic transcription factor, was the most significantly reduced transcript in the jaw. We hypothesized that the TCDD reduction of sox9b expression plays an integral role in affecting formation of the embryonic jaw. Morpholino knock down of sox9b expression demonstrated that partial reduction of sox9b expression alone was sufficient to produce a TCDD-like jaw phenotype. Heterozygous sox9b deletion mutant embryos were sensitized to TCDD. Lastly, embryos injected with sox9b mRNA and then exposed to TCDD blocked TCDD-induced jaw toxicity in approximately 14% of sox9b-injected embryos. These results suggest that reduced sox9b expression in TCDD-exposed zebrafish embryos contributes to jaw malformation. Keywords: Time course

Experiment Overall Design: Three independent replicate microarray time course experiments were performed comparing transcript levels between TCDD-exposed and control zebrafish. For each experiment, zebrafish were exposed to TCDD for 1 h starting at 96 hpf as described above. For each time point (97, 98, 100 and 108 hpf) and treatment jaw samples were pooled from 10 dissections for RNA isolation and hybridization with Affymetrix zebrafish arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Each microarray contains roughly 14,900 probes corresponding to approximately 30% of the zebrafish genome. For each array, total RNA (1 µg) was isolated from 10 jaw microdissections with the QIAGEN RNeasy Mini kit following the manufacturerâs protocol (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). The One-Cycle Target Labeling and Control Reagents kit was used to synthesize cDNA and biotinylated cRNA following the manufacturerâs protocol (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Biotin-labeled cRNA (15 µg) was fragmented and hybridized onto Affymetrix Zebrafish Genechip Arrays following the protocol in the Affymetrix Genechip Expression Analysis Technical Manual. Following hybdrization, the arrays were washed and stained with streptavidin-phycoerythrin on an Affymetrix Fluidics Station 400 using the protocol EukGE WS2v4. Arrays were scanned with an Agilent Gene Array Scanner.

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) repressor (AHRR), a bHLH-PAS protein, is a transcriptional repressor of AHR and other transcription factors (HIF, ER) and is regulated by an AHR-dependent mechanism. However, the physiological and toxicological roles of AHRR are not well understood. We demonstrated earlier that knockdown of AHRRa (one of two AHRR paralogs) in zebrafish embryos using morpholino anti-sense oligonucleotides results in developmental phenotypes such as pericardial edema, craniofacial malformations, and cardiac deformities, similar to effects caused by exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). AHRRa morphants also exhibit down-regulation of genes associated with photoreceptor development. To characterize the AHRRa function further, we used ZFN (zinc finger nuclease) technology to generate a line of zebrafish with a 7-bp deletion in exon 3 of AHRRa, leading to a truncated AHRR (110 aa, of which 38 are from AHRRa, compared to the 550-aa wild-type (wt) AHRRa). The mutant AHRRa protein, which contains basic regions but lacks the HLH and PAS domains, did not repress AHR in vitro, suggesting that it is inactive (null). Unlike AHRRa morphants, AHRRa-null fish did not display a TCDD-like phenotype; exposure to TCDD caused defects similar to those in TCDD-exposed wt embryos. RNA-sequencing revealed that basal expression of 562 genes differed significantly between the null and wt embryos, including down-regulation of genes associated with photoreceptor development, as seen in AHRRa morphants. TCDD-induced gene expression patterns for the prototypic AHR target genes were similar for null and wt embryos. However, 22 genes were differentially regulated by TCDD in the AHRRa-null embryos as compared to wt embryos (>2-fold; 5% FDR). We are currently investigating the link between these differentially expressed genes and the function of AHRRa in development and AHR signaling. [Supported by NIH R01ES006272]

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand activated transcription factor that mediates the toxic effects of the environmental contaminant, dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin; TCDD). Dioxin causes a diverse range of toxic responses, including hepatic damage and lethal wasting syndrome; however, the mechanisms of dioxin-induced toxicity are still unknown. Here we show that the loss of TCDD-inducible poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (TIPARP; ARTD14), an ADP-ribosyltransferase and AHR repressor, increases sensitivity to dioxin-induced toxicity and lethality. Tiparp-/- mice treated with a single injection of 100 mg/kg dioxin display an accelerated lethal wasting syndrome with no Tiparp-/- mice surviving beyond day 5; all Tiparp+/+ mice survived up to 30 days post treatment. Tiparp-/- mice displayed dramatic increases in liver steatosis and hepatotoxicity. At the molecular level, TIPARP selectively ADP-ribosylates AHR, but not AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT) and the Tiparp-dependent repression of AHR is reversed by the ADP-ribosylase and macrodomain containing protein MacroD1, but not MacroD2. These results describe previously unidentified roles for Tiparp, MacroD1, and ADP-ribosylation in AHR signaling, dioxin toxicity and lethality.

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that binds pollutants, therapeutic drugs and endogenous ligands. The AHR is expressed in all breast cancer subtypes and it can switch the aggressiveness of breast cancer cells from low to high depending on the ligand that it binds. Jagged 1 (JAG1) is a NOTCH receptor ligand that is overexpressed in basal-like breast cancer. JAG1 promotes breast cancer progression in part by increasing the migratory and invasive activity of breast cancer cells (BCCs). The regulation of JAG1 by AHR in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 BCCs by two AHR ligands (TCDD and ITE) was investigated in this report. TCDD is the prototype AHR ligand, and ITE is a non-toxic endogenous AHR ligand with anti-cancer activity. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) revealed a significant association between TCDD-regulated genes (TRGs) and cell movement. Short interfering RNA (siRNA)-directed knockdown of AHR confirmed TCDD-stimulated decreases in JAG1 required AHR expression. TCDD-induced reductions in JAG1 were inhibited by the AHR antagonist CH-223191. The endogenous non-toxic AHR ligand ITE also reduced JAG1 by activating AHR in BCCs. MDA-MB-231 are basal-like BCCs that are highly migratory and invasive, and these cancer cell attributes were significantly inhibited by ITE. We reduced JAG1 with targeting siRNA, and the outcome mirrored ITE, it suppressed TNBC cell migration and invasive activity. Collectively, these findings are the first showing that ITE is a tumor-suppressing AHR ligand in TNBC cells in part because it reduces JAG1 expression
