Time-dependent transcriptomic responses of Daphnia magna exposed to metabolic disruptors that enhanced storage lipid accumulation.

ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic profiling of Daphnia magna samples exposed to tributyltin (TBT), pyriproxyfen (PP) and bisphenol A (BPA) at 8 and 24 hours. The analysis of lipid disruptive effects in invertebrates is limited by our poor knowledge of their lipidomes and of the associated metabolic pathways. Here we analyzed the subsequent transcriptome changes, using tributyltin (TBT), pyriproxyfen (PP) and bisphenol A (BPA). Changes in the whole transcriptome were assessed after 8 and 24 h of exposure, the period showing the greatest variation in storage lipid accumulation. The three compounds affected similarly to a total of 1388 genes (965 overexpressed and 423 underexpressed transcripts), but only after 24h of exposure. In addition,225 transcripts became up-regulated only in samples exposed to tributyltin for both 8h and 24 h. Using functional annotation from D. melanogaster, we determined that upregulated genes were enriched in members of KEGG modules implicated in fatty acid, phosphoinositol, glycerophospholipid, and glycerolipid metabolic pathways, as well as in genes related to membrane constituents , and to chitin and cuticle metabolic pathways. Conversely, down-regulated genes appeared mainly related with to visual perception, and to oocyte development signalling pathways. Many tributyltin specifically upregulated genes were related to neuro-active ligand receptor interaction signalling pathway. These changes are consistent with the previous observation that exposure of D. magna to the tested compounds increases lipid accumulation and reduces egg quality.

Project description:The obesogen hypothesis states that exposure to environmental compounds early in life or throughout lifetime might have an influence on obesity development. In this paper a new approach for obesogen screening is proposed, namely the use of transcriptomics in the 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte cell line. Based on the data from a previous study of our group using a lipid accumulation based adipocyte differentiation assay, several humanly relevant obesogenic compounds were selected: reference obesogens [Rosiglitazone (ROSI), Tributyltin (TBT)], test obesogens [Butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), butylparaben (BP), propylparaben (PP), Bisphenol A (BPA)] and non-obesogens [Ethylene Brassylate (EB), Bis (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)]. In this paper, the high stability and reproducibility of the 3T3-L1 gene transcription patterns over different experiments and cell batches was shown. Obesogens and non-obesogen gene transcription profiles were clearly distinguished using hierarchical clustering. Furthermore, a gradual distinction corresponding to differences in induction of lipid accumulation could be made between test and reference obesogens based on transcription patterns, indicating the potential use of this strategy for classification of obesogens. Marker genes that are able to distinguish between non, test and reference obesogens were identified. Well known genes involved in adipocyte differentiation, as well as genes with unknown functions were selected, implying a potential adipocyte related function of the latter. Cell physiological lipid accumulation was well predicted based on transcription levels of the marker genes, indicating the biological relevance of omics data. In conclusion, this study shows the high relevance and reproducibility of this 3T3-L1 based in vitro toxicogenomics tool for classification of obesogens and biomarker discovery. The hybridization design was a reference design (reference sample was a mixture of equal aliquots from control and exposed samples), recommended for class discovery purposes (Knapen et al. 2009). The reference sample was labeled with Cy5, and the exposed samples with Cy3. Three biological replicates were measured for every condition.

Project description:Organotin compounds are highly persistent organic pollutants that bioaccumulate in marine biota, behaving as potent endocrine disruptors. Tributyltin (TBT) has been described as an environmental obesogen, as it contributes in mammals to lipid accumulation in a mechanism mediated by PPARÎ³ and RXR. With the aim of studying the molecular mechanisms that elicit TBT-induced pathogenesis in fish, thicklip grey mullets Chelon labrosus were exposed to low (10 ng/L) and high (500 ng/L) TBT concentrations for 1, 7 and 21 days, and gene transcription and metabolome profiles were studied. With this purpose, the multitissue transcriptome of mullet was sequenced by 454 pyrosequencing obtaining 126 Mb of sequence information. Assembly and annotation allowed spotting 8330 gene signatures on an oligonucleotide microarray that was used to identify hepatic gene transcription profiles specific to each TBT exposure set-up. Functional pathway analysis revealed that early profiles were characterized by genes related to response to organic substances and to oxidative stress and glucose metabolic processes. After 21 days of exposure, enriched GO terms in both concentrations were related to lipid homeostasis with a significant regulation of steroid metabolic and cholesterol biosynthetic processes. Also, the androgen receptor signalling pathway was regulated while PPAR signalling appeared as the most significantly regulated KEGG pathway. Neutral lipid accumulation measured by Oil-Red-O histochemistry did not show any treatment-related effect but hepatic and plasma NMR and GC-MS metabolomic analysis revealed distinctive metabolites. Aqueous profiles were characterised by lactate, glucose and alanine while GC-MS revealed a whole set of discriminating polyunsaturated fatty acids. Thus, TBT pathogenesis involves alterations of lipid metabolism through a mechanism that could involve PPARÎ³-regulated processes confirming the obesogen hypothesis for TBT in fish. Thicklip grey mullets were exposed to tributyltin (TBT). 3 treatments: control, TBT low dose (10ng/L), TBT high dose (500ng/L); 3 sampling times: 1 day, 1 week, 3 weeks. 6 mullets were dissected in each sampling point and group.
