Project description:Sex differences in the incidence and prognosis of respiratory diseases have been reported. Studies have shown that women are at increased risk of adverse health outcomes from air pollution than men, but sex-specific immune gene expression patterns and regulatory networks have not been well studied in the lung. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are environmentally sensitive posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression that may mediate the damaging effects of inhaled pollutants in the lung, by altering the expression of innate immunity molecules. Here, male and female mice of the C57/Bl6 background were exposed to 2ppm of ozone or filtered air (control) for 3 hours. Female mice were also exposed at different stages of the estrous cycle. Following exposure, lungs were harvested and total RNA was extracted. We used PCR arrays to study sex-differences in the expression of 84 miRNAs predicted to target inflammatory and immune genes. Our results identified differentially expressed miRNA signatures in the lungs of male vs. female exposed to ozone. In silico pathway analyses identified sex-specific biological networks affected by exposure to ozone that ranged from direct predicted gene targeting to complex interactions with multiple intermediates. We also identified differences in miRNA expression and predicted regulatory networks in females exposed to ozone at different estrous cycle stages. These results indicate that both sex and hormonal status can influence lung miRNA expression in response to ozone exposure, indicating that sex-specific miRNA regulation of inflammatory gene expression could mediate differential pollution-induced health outcomes in men and women.

Project description:Ozone is known to cause lung injury and resident cells of the respiratory tract, i.e., epithelial cells and macrophages, respond to inhaled ozone in a variety of ways that affect their survival, morphology, and functioning. However, complete understanding of sex-associated and cell type-specific gene expression changes in response to ozone exposure is still limited. Through transcriptome profiling, we aimed to analyze gene expression alterations and biological pathways enrichment in three distinct cell type-enriched compartments of ozone-exposed murine lungs. We chronically exposed adult males and females to 0.8ppm ozone or filtered air. RNA-Seq was performed on airway epithelium-enriched airways, parenchyma, and purified airspace macrophages. Differential gene expression and biological pathway analyses were performed and supported by cellular and immunohistochemical analyses. While majority of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ozone-exposed versus air-exposed groups were common between both sexes, sex-specific DEGs were also identified in all the three tissue compartments. As compared to ozone-exposed males, ozone-exposed females had significant alterations in gene expression in three compartments. Pathways relevant to cell division and DNA repair were enriched in the ozone-exposed airways indicating ozone-induced airway injury and repair which was further supported by immunohistochemical analyses. In addition to cell division and DNA repair pathways, inflammatory pathways were also enriched within the parenchyma supporting contribution by both epithelial and immune cells. Finally, immune response and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions were enriched in macrophages, indicating ozone-induced macrophage activation. Lastly, our analyses also revealed the overall upregulation of mucoinflammation and mucous cell metaplasia-associated pathways.

Project description:Adiponectin is an adipose-derived hormone with anti-inflammatory activity. Following subacute ozone exposure (0.3 ppm for 24-72 h), pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation is augmented in adiponectin deficient mice. The purpose of this study was to use microarrays to examine the impact of adiponectin deficiency on changes in pulmonary gene expression induced by ozone, a common air pollutant. Lungs were harvested from wildtype and mice that were genetically deficient in adiponectin. Mice were exposed either to room air or to ozone (0.3 ppm) for 72 h. RNA was extracted and microarray analysis of gene expression performed. Both male and female mice were used.

Project description:Ozone is a major air pollutant in highly populated areas. High levels of ambient ozone have been associated with decreased lung function and increased exacerbations of asthma in children and adults. However, the effects of ozone on the newbornM-bM-^@M-^Ys lung are largely unknown. This study was aimed at profiling the newborn lung response to ozone at the transcriptome level to define the impact of ozone pollutant on the developing postnatal lung. Newborn mice were exposed to ozone or filtered normal air for 3 h. Total RNA was isolated from lung tissues at 6 and 24 h after completion of exposure and was subjected to gene expression analysis using Whole Mouse Genome Gene Expression 4X44K Microarrays (G2519F-014868, Agilent Technologies). Transcriptome analysis of the postnatal lung indicated that 455 genes were down-regulated and 166 genes were up-regulated by at least 1.5 fold at 6 h post-ozone exposure (t-test, p<0.05). At 24 h post exposure, 543 genes were down-regulated and 323 genes were up-regulated in the lungs of ozone-exposed newborn mice, compared to filtered air-exposed newborn mice (t-test, p<0.05). After controlling for false discovery rate, 50 genes were significantly down-regulated and only 4 genes were up-regulated at 24 h post ozone-exposure (q<0.05). Gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle-associated functions including cell division/proliferation, cellular assembly and organization were the predominant pathways negatively regulated by ozone exposure. These findings suggest that elevated ozone pollution may interfere with lung development and growth in the early age. Three-day old BALB/c mice were exposed for 3 h to ozone (1000 parts per billion). Age-matching littermate controls were exposed for 3 h to filtered normal air. Whole lung tissue was collected 6 and 24 h after completion of exposure to ozone or filtered air and was subjected to microarray analysis. Each time point was performed separately with its own filtered air littermate controls. Pups were cross-fostered during exposure so that all pups were with a dam during exposure. A total of 6-8 mice were initially included in each group and time point. Of these, n=4 mouse lungs were randomly selected for use in gene expression analysis.

Project description:Ozone-induced lung injury/inflammation and pulmonary/hypothalamus gene expression are diminished in adrenalectomized (ADREX) rats. Acute ozone exposure induces metabolic alterations concomitant with increases in epinephrine and corticosterone. We hypothesized that adrenal hormones are responsible for observed hepatic ozone effects, and in ADREX rats, these changes would be diminished. Five-seven days after sham or ADREX surgeries, male Wistar-Kyoto rats were exposed to air or 0.8-ppm ozone for 4-hrs. Serum samples were analyzed for metabolites and liver for transcriptional changes immediately post-exposure. Ozone increased circulating triglycerides, cholesterol, free fatty acids, and leptin in sham but not ADREX rats. Ozone-induced inhibition of glucose-mediated insulin release was reversed in ADREX rats. Unlike diminution of hypothalamus and lung mRNA expression changes, ADREX in air-exposed rats (ADREX-air/sham-air) caused differential expression of ~1000 genes in liver. Likewise, ~1000 genes were differentially expressed in ozone-exposed ADREX rats (ADREX-ozone/ADREX-air). Ozone-induced hepatic changes in sham rats reflected enrichment for pathways involving metabolic processes, including acetyl-CoA biosynthesis, TCA cycle, and sirtuins. Upstream predictor analysis identified significant similarity to glucocorticoids and pathways involving CREBBP. These changes were absent in ADREX rats exposed to ozone. However, ozone caused unique changes in ADREX liver mRNA reflecting activation of synaptogenesis, neurovascular coupling, neuroinflammation, and insulin signaling with inhibition of senescence pathways. In these rats, upstream predictor analysis identified numerous microRNAs involved under glucocorticoid insufficiency. These data demonstrate the critical role of adrenal stress hormones in ozone-induced hepatic homeostasis and the need for further research elucidating their role in propagating environmentally driven diseases.

Project description:Background: Ozone (O3) is the predominant oxidant air pollutant associated with respiratory inflammation, lung dysfunction, and worsening preexisting airway diseases. We previously determined that lack of NF-kB signlaing pathway suppressed lung injury and inflammation caused by O3 in mice. The current study was to determine transcriptome mechanisms orchestrated by NF-kB during the development of pulmonary O3 injury. Methods: To investigate the role of NF-kB1 pathway in lung gene expression changes, Nfkb1-deficient (Nfkb1-/-) and wild-type (Nfkb1+/+) mice were exposed to air or 0.3-ppm O3. Total RNAs were isolated from lung homogenates and cDNA microarray analyses were performed to elucidate NF-kB1-directed transcriptomics in basal lungs (air-exposed) as well as in the lung exposed to O3 (48 hr). Results: In air-exposed Nfkb1-/- lungs, leukocyte extravasation/adhesion and antigen presentation genes were overexpressed while immunity genes were suppressed, supporting the dual role of Nf-kB1 homodimer as a transcriptional repressor as well as transcriptional activator and the phenotype of Nfkb1-/- mice (defective response to infection and specific antibody production). After O3 exposure. Nfkb1-/- mice showed suppressed expression of lung cell cycle genes and enhanced expression of DNA damage checkpoint regulation pathway genes, compared to Nfkb1+/+ mice. Conclusion: Overall, deficiency of NF-kB1 in mouse lungs altered transcriptomes to protect lungs from O3-induced inflammation, cell proliferation, and DNA damages.

Project description:Background: Ozone (O3) is the predominant oxidant air pollutant associated with respiratory inflammation, lung dysfunction, and worsening preexisting airway diseases. We determined that TNFR signlaing pathway plays a key role in lung injury and inflammation caused by O3 in mice. However, downstream molecular mechanisms underlying TNFR pathway have not been investigated. Methods: To investigate the role of TNFR pathway in gene expression changes, Tnfr1/2-deficient (Tnfr-/-) and wild-type (Tnfr+/+, C57BL/6J) mice were exposed to air or 0.3-ppm O3. Total RNAs were isolated from lung homogenates and cDNA microarray analyses were performed to elucidate TNFR-directed transcriptomics in basal lungs (air-exposed) as well as in the lung exposed to time course of O3 (24, 48, and 72 hr). Results: O3 caused time-dependent changes in lung gene expressions with the greatest transcriptome changes at 48-72 hr of exposure in Tnfr+/+ mice. At early time of exposure (24 hr), acute phase and inflammatory responses gene as well as redox and lipid metabolism genes were increased by O3 while cell cycle and DNA damage repair genes were markedly increased by O3 at later time points (48-72 hr). Compared to Tnfr+/+ mice, Tnfr-/- mice had lowered expression of inflammatory response and vascular disorder-related genes at baseline (air). After O3 exposure, Tnfr-/- had enhanced expression of immune and inflammatory genes at 24 hr, indicating compensatory or adpative poentiation of immunity in Tnfr-/- mice. At 48 hr of O3 exposure, Tnfr-/- mice showed suppressed expression of genes involved in epithelial proliferation, inflammatory cell influxes and epithelial injury, compared to Tnfr+/+ mice. At 72 hr of O3 exposure, neurodegeneration and neurotransmitter transport genes were suppressed in Tnfr-/- than in Tnfr+/+. Conclusion: Overall, deficiency of TNFR-mediated signaling in mouse lungs altered transcriptomes to protect lungs from O3-induced inflammation, cell proliferation, oxidative stress, and neuronal disorders.
