Project description:Biomineral forming organisms produce inorganic materials with complex, genetically encoded morphologies that are inaccessible by current synthetic chemistry. It is poorly understood which genes are involved in biomineral morphogenesis and how the encoded proteins guide this process. We addressed these questions using diatoms, which are paradigms for the self-assembly of hierarchically meso- and macroporous silica under mild reaction conditions. By isolating the intracellular organelle for silica biosynthesis, we identified a suite of new biomineralization proteins. Three of these, dAnk1-3, are specific to diatoms and contain a common protein-protein interaction domain indicating a role in coordinating assembly of the silica biomineralization machinery. Knocking out individual dank genes led to characteristic structural aberrations in silica biogenesis that point to a liquid-liquid phase separation process as underlying mechanism for pore pattern morphogenesis. Our work provides an unprecedented path for the synthesis of tailored meso- and macroporous silicas using Synthetic Biology.

Project description:Amorphous silica nanoparticles induce malignant transformation and tumorigenesis of human lung epithelial cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the cellular malignant transformation induced by amorphous silica nanoparticles and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. The human lung epithelial cells, Beas-2B were continuously exposed to 5 μg/mL amorphous silica nanoparticles for 40 passages, and named as BeasSiNPs-P40 (shortly as P40-5 during the further microarray detection). Meanwhile, the passage-matched control Beas-2B cells, named as Beas-P40 (shortly as NC during the further microarray detection).

Project description:Exposure to crystalline silica results in serious health effects, most notably, silicosis and cancer. An understanding of the silica-induced lung toxicity is critical for the intervention and/or prevention of its adverse health effects. Rats were exposed by inhalation to air or crystalline silica (15 mg/m3, 6 hours/day for 5 days). At post-exposure time intervals of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months, the control and silica exposed rats were euthanized, and lung toxicity and gene expression profiles determined. Histological changes indicative of lung toxicity detected in the silica exposed rats included infiltration of neutrophils, thickening of alveolar epithelium, and fibrosis. Significant increases in lactate dehydrogenase activity, number of phagocytes, and inflammatory cytokine levels were detected in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained from the silica exposed rats compared with the corresponding time-matched controls. Significant changes in lung gene expression profiles, corresponding to the changes in the lung toxicity parameters analyzed, were detected in the silica exposed rats. The BAL parameters of toxicity and inflammation peaked at the 12-months post-exposure time interval and declined subsequently. However, lung fibrosis continued to progress being highest at the 18-month post-exposure time interval. These results suggest that inflammation may be required for the initiation but not for the progression and/or maintenance of lung fibrosis in response to silica exposure in the rats.

Project description:The present research aimed to investigate peripheral blood gene expression profiling as a minimally invasive surrogate approach to study silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Rats were exposed to crystalline silica by inhalation (15 mg/m3, 6 hours/day, 5 days). Pulmonary damage and blood gene expression profiles were determined at various latency periods (0 - 16 weeks). Silica exposure resulted in pulmonary toxicity and this was evidenced by histological changes in the lungs and elevation of LDH activity, and total protein and albumin contents in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of the rats. Microarray analysis of global gene expression profiles in the blood of the rats identified genes that were differentially expressed in response to silica exposure and toxicity. The number of significantly differentially expressed genes in the blood of silica exposed rats correlated with the severity of silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Genes involved in biological functions such as inflammatory response, cancer, pulmonary damage, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, fibrosis, etc, were found differentially expressed in the blood of the silica exposed rats compared with the controls. Induction of pulmonary inflammation in the silica exposed rats, as suggested by differential expression of inflammatory response genes in the blood, was supported by significant increases in the number of macrophages and infiltrating neutrophils as well as the activity of pro-inflammatory chemokines – MCP1 and MIP2, observed in the BALF of the silica exposed rats. A silica-responsive blood gene expression signature developed using the gene expression data predicted with significant accuracy the exposure of rats to lower concentrations (1 and 2 mg/m3) of silica. Taken together our findings suggest the potential application of peripheral blood gene expression profiling as a minimally invasive and efficient surrogate approach to detect and study silica-induced pulmonary toxicity.

Project description:Non-invasive or minimally invasive surrogate approaches to detect/predict target organ toxicity have significant practical applications in occupational toxicology. Presently, using a rat model, we have investigated the potential application of peripheral blood transcriptomics as a practical approach to study the mechanisms of silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Rats were exposed by inhalation to crystalline silica for one week (15 mg/m3, 6-hours/day, 5 days/week). Pulmonary toxicity and global gene expression profiles of lungs and peripheral blood were determined in the control and silica exposed rats at 32-weeks following termination of silica exposure. A significant elevation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and moderate histological changes in the lungs, including type II pneumocyte hyperplasia and fibrosis, indicated silica-induced pulmonary toxicity in the rats. Similarly, significant infiltration of neutrophils and elevated monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP1) level in the lungs suggested silica-induced pulmonary inflammation in the rats. Microarray analysis of global gene expression profiles identified significant differential expression (>1.5 fold change and FDR p<0.01) of 520 and 537 genes, respectively, in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially expressed genes demonstrated significant similarity in the biological processes, molecular networks, and canonical pathways enriched by silica exposure in the lungs and blood of the rats. Several genes involved in functions relevant to silica-induced pulmonary toxicity such as inflammation, respiratory diseases, cancer, cellular movement, fibrosis, etc, were found significantly differentially expressed in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. The results of this study, in addition to providing molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity, suggested the potential application of peripheral blood gene expression profiling as a toxicologically relevant and minimally invasive surrogate approach to study the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that smoking induces oxidative stress and inflammation, known factors that coincide with the development and progression of silicosis. Nevertheless, the precise role of cigarette smoke exposure in silicosis and the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the effect of smoking, if any, on silica-induced pulmonary response and the underlying mechanisms. Pulmonary toxicity and lung gene expression profiles were determined in male Fischer 344 rats exposed to air, crystalline silica, cigarette smoke or cigarette smoke plus crystalline silica. Silica exposure resulted in significant pulmonary toxicity which was further exacerbated by cigarette smoke exposure in the rats. Significant differences in the gene expression profiles were detected in the lungs of the rats exposed to cigarette smoke, silica or a combination of both compared with the control rats.

Project description:Previous studies in our laboratory identified a correlation between silica-induced pulmonary toxicity and SLC26A4 transcript levels in the lungs of rats. To determine the role of the SLC26A4 gene product, pendrin (Pds) in silica-induced pulmonary toxicity, pendrin wild type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice were employed. All mice were exposed to either air or crystalline silica (15 mg/m3, 6 hours/day, 4 days) and pulmonary toxicity and lung gene expression profiles determined at post-exposure time intervals of 1-day, 3-months, and 9-months. Silica exposure resulted in the induction of pulmonary toxicity in both the WT and KO mouse strains, compared to corresponding air exposed controls. However, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in the measured pulmonary toxicity parameters between silica exposed WT and KO groups being more severe in the WT compared with the KO mice. Significant differences in the gene expression profiles were also detected in the WT and KO mice in response to their exposure to crystalline silica.

Project description:The pathophysiology of silicosis is poorly understood, limiting development of therapies for those who have been exposed to the respirable particle. We explored mechanisms of silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis in human lung samples collected from patients with occupational exposure to silica and in a longitudinal mouse model of silicosis using multiple modalities including whole-lung single-cell RNA sequencing and histological, biochemical, and physiologic assessments. In addition to pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, intratracheal silica challenge induced osteoclast-like differentiation of alveolar macrophages and recruited monocytes, driven by induction of the osteoclastogenic cytokine, receptor activator of nuclear factor κΒ ligand (RANKL) in pulmonary lymphocytes, and alveolar type II cells. Anti-RANKL monoclonal antibody treatment suppressed silica-induced osteoclast-like differentiation in the lung and attenuated pulmonary fibrosis. We conclude that silica induces differentiation of pulmonary osteoclast-like cells leading to progressive lung injury, likely due to sustained elaboration of bone-resorbing proteases and hydrochloric acid. Interrupting osteoclast-like differentiation may therefore constitute a promising avenue for moderating lung damage in silicosis.
