Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a deadly tumour lacking effective therapies. Clinically-relevant experimental models and analysis of human samples represent the cornerstone of mechanistic cancer research. Thioacetamide (TAA)-induced intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) in rats encompasses key histological and molecular features of human iCCA. Molecular studies in bile may capture carcinogenic alterations and therapeutic vulnerabilities in CCA. We performed bile proteomic and metabolomic analyses in this model leading us to identify unrecognized mechanisms relevant to human iCCA.

Project description:Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), the most toxic member of microcystin family, inhibits protein phosphatase PP2A, triggers oxidative stress and induces hepatotoxicity. Gene expression profiling of MC-LR treated larvae using DNA microarray analysis revealed effects in the retinal visual cycle and pigmentation synthesis pathways that have not been previously associated with MC-LR. Liver-related genes were also differentially expressed. The microarray data were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. Our findings provide new evidence that microcystin-LR exposure of zebrafish larvae modulates the retinal visual cycle and pigmentation synthesis pathways and ultimately alter larval zebrafish behavior

Project description:Harmful algal blooms (HABs) arise from the rapid growth of algae in both marine and freshwater ecosystems due to the continuous global temperature rise and anthropogenic eutrophication. Humans are at a great risk of exposure to toxins released from HABs through drinking water, food, and recreational activities, making HAB toxins contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). The impact of HAB toxins on women’s reproductive health, however, remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of microcystin-LR (MC-LR), the most common HAB toxin, on the ovary, the female gonad, and associated ovarian functions. The results of a chronic daily oral mouse exposure model and an acute exposure using the mouse superovulation model revealed that MC-LR accumulated in the ovary and environmentally-relevant exposure to MC-LR perturbed follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-dependent follicle maturation to disrupt ovulation and luteinization. Using an ex vivo mouse follicle maturation and ovulation assay and in vitro culture of human primary granulosa cells, mechanistic studies such as the single-follicle RNA sequencing analysis and others elucidated that MC-LR inhibited protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and interfered with PP1-mediated PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 signaling in granulosa cells, which suppressed follicle maturation, ovulation, luteinization, and progesterone secretion. Together, our study demonstrates that environmentally-relevant exposure to MC-LR acts a PP1 inhibitor to interfere with the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 signaling in granulosa cells, which disrupts follicle maturation and results in adverse female reproductive outcomes. As a newly identified ovarian endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), exposure to MC-LR poses a serious threat to women’s reproductive health and fertility.

Project description:Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a deadly disease with rising incidence and few treatment options. Recently, aberrant Notch signaling was reported in iCCA carcinogenesis. Specifically, altered expression and/or activation of the receptors Notch1/2 suggests a role for Notch pathway overactivation during iCCA formation and progression. In this study, we examined the effects of Notch inhibition by γ-secretase inhibitor, LY3039478 in human iCCA cell lines and in an excellent patient derived-xenograft (PDX) model. Expression of several Notch pathway components, including NICD, Hes1, and DLL4, were reduced after GSI treatment. Moreover, LY3039478 inhibits cell migration and invasion while in GSI-treated mice, tumor growth was delayed compared to vehicle and chemotherapy. These results support the notion that Notch inhibition by GSI may reduce in vivo tumorigenesis. In addition, GSI reduces in PDX model VEGFA and MMP13 involved in capillary tube formation and tumor progression. Here, we therefore show a link between the efficacy of Notch inhibition and the tumor microenvironment through LY3039478 that slows tumor progression compared to control mice blocking angiogenesis via MMP13 downregulation. We used microarray technology to understand the molecular mechanisms affected by LY3039478. Cholangiocarcinoma PDX model was employed in this analysis.

Project description:Elevated levels of adsorbable organic bromine compounds (AOBr) have been detected in German lakes, and cyanobacteria like Microcystis, which are known for the synthesis of microcystins, are one of the main producers of natural organobromines. However, very little is known about how environmental realistic concentrations of organobromines impact invertebrates. Here, the nematode C. elegans was exposed to AOBr-containing surface water samples and to a Microcystis aeruginosa enriched batch culture (MC-BA) and compared to single organobromines and microcystin-LR exposures. Stimulatory effects were observed in certain life trait variables, which were particularly pronounced in nematodes exposed to MC-BA. A whole genome DNA-microarray revealed that MC-BA led to the differential expression of more than 2000 genes, many of which are known to be involved in metabolic, neurologic, and morphologic processes. Moreover, the up-regulation of cyp- and the down-regulation of abu-genes suggested the presence of chronic stress. However, the nematodes were not marked by negative phenotypic responses. The observed difference in MC-BA and microcystin-LR (which impacted lifespan, growth and reproduction) exposed nematodes was hypothesized to be likely due to other compounds within the batch culture. Most likely the exposure to low concentrations of organobromines appears to buffer the effects of toxic substances, like microcystin-LR.

Results: Comparative analysis indicated high molecular similarity between the KRAS/p19 model and the human Inflammatory stroma cluster while the other models resembled the Hepatic stem-like cluster.

Project description:Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic hepatotoxins produced worldwide by various species of cyanobacteria. Their structure includes two variable amino acids (AAs) and most of the studies focused on the most toxic variant: the microcystin LR (MC-LR). However, more than 80 MC variants have been described to date. Despite ingestion being the major pathway of human exposure, few in vivo studies have demonstrated macroscopic effects on the gastro-intestinal tract, but no data are available on the affected pathways by several variants on intestinal cells. Here, using a non-selective method, we investigated for the first time the effect of MC-RR and MC-LR on the human intestinal cell line Caco-2 and compared their response at the pangenomic scale. The cells were incubated for 4 hrs or 24 hrs with the same range of sub-lethal concentrations of MC-RR or MC-LR. Low effects were observed for both variants after a short-term exposure. On the contrary, dose-dependent modulations of the genes transcription levels were noticed with MC-RR and MC-LR after 24 hrs. Furthermore, the genomic profiles induced by both variants were similar suggesting a common toxicity mechanism but with higher modulation following MC-LR than MC-RR exposure. However, the functional annotation revealed major differences between the variants effects. Indeed, the well-known MC-LR affected mainly two pathways, the oxidative stress response and the cell cycle regulation, which did not elicit significant alteration following MC-RR exposure. This work is the first comparative description of the MC-LR and MC-RR effects on a human intestinal cell model. It allowed us to suggest differences in the mechanism of toxicity for MC-RR and MC-LR. These results illustrate that the toxicity of MC variants remains a key point for risk assessment.

Nematodes were exposed to filtrated samples of Lake Stößensee Berlin (August and October) and compared to the control-group (exposure to water). Furthermore, nematodes were exposed to filtrated M. aeruinosa batch culture samples and compared to another control-group (exposure to Z-Medium). Three samples (biological replicates) were prepared for each group.
