Incorporation of In Vitro Techniques for Botanicals Dietary Supplement Safety Assessment – Towards evaluation of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity (DART)

ABSTRACT: As complex mixtures, botanicals present unique challenges when assessing safe use, particularly when endpoint gaps exist that cannot be fully resolved by existing toxicological literature. Obtaining data for developmental and reproductive toxicity (DART) can be particularly difficult as this is a frequent data gap for botanicals. Here we explore in vitro receptor binding and enzyme activity assays as well gene expression studies as alternative tools to inform on DART relevent modes of action. Botanicals suspected to have DART effects in addition to herbs with a significant history of use were tested at biologically relevant doses to probe activity at a molecular level. Additionally, gene expression changes in a number of different cell types were analysed using the connectivity mapping approach (CMap) to identify modes of action through a functional read across approach. Together, these two data streams increase the confidence in predictions of biological mode of action and inform potential DART risk by way of potency comparisons and/or a margin of internal exposure approach.

Identifying key events from Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances exposure that influence larval zebrafish in light:dark assay using RNA-sequencing analysis of perfluorohexane-1-sulfonate (PFHxS)

Project description:Gene expression data from short-term in vivo studies shows efficacy in quantifying concentration-dependent effects that inform toxicity outcomes, particularly for chemicals with limited toxicity data such as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Automated behavioral assessments, at non-teratogenic concentrations reveal perfluorohexane-1-sulfonate (PFHxS) exposure causes hyperactivity in larval zebrafish (6 days post fertilization (dpf)) during the light phase of the light:dark assay compared to 0.4% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle control. To identify key events that drive this abnormal behavior, zebrafish embryos were exposed to 7.87-25.1 μM PFHxS or 0.4% DMSO, and RNA was isolated from pooled head tissue collected at 4 and 5 dpf, before the onset of hyperactivity, for RNA-sequencing (NextSeq 500). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using Gene Specific Analysis (Partek Flow, St. Louis, MO) and mapped to human orthologs for pathway analyses to inform modes of action.

Dissecting modes of action of non-genotoxic carcinogens in primary mouse hepatocytes.

Project description:Under REACH, the European Community Regulation on chemicals, the testing strategy for carcinogenicity is generally based on in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity assays. Given that non-genotoxic carcinogens are negative for genotoxicity, this class of carcinogens will not be detected. Therefore, alternative test are urgently needed. Non-genotoxic carcinogens, however, act through different modes of action, which complicates the development of such an assay. The aim of this study was to investigate whether gene expression profiling in primary mouse hepatocytes can be used to distinguish different modes of action of non-genotoxic carcinogens. Primary mouse hepatocytes were exposed to 16 non-genotoxic carcinogens with diverse modes of action. Upon profiling, pathway analysis was performed to obtain insight into the biological relevance of the observed changes in gene expression. To recognize similarities in mode of action at the transcriptomic level, both a supervised and an unsupervised comparison approach was applied.

Tyrosine kinase c-Abl couples RNA polymerase II transcription to an RNA-dependent DNA damage response

Project description:Various modes of DNA repair counteract genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to maintain genome stability. Recent findings suggest that the human DNA damage response (DDR) utilises damage-induced small RNA for efficient repair of DSBs. However, production and processing of RNA is poorly understood. Here we show that localised induction of DSBs triggers phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) on carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) residue tyrosine-1 in an Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex-dependent manner. CTD Tyr1-phosphorylated RNAPII synthetises, strand-specific, damage-responsive transcripts (DARTs). DART synthesis occurs via formation of transient RNA-DNA hybrid (R-loop) intermediates. Impaired R-loop formation attenuates DART synthesis, impairs recruitment of repair factors and delays the DDR. Collectively, we provide mechanistic insight in RNA-dependent DSB repair.

Transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana G protein subunit mutants in response to abscisic acid (ABA)

Project description:Heterotrimeric G proteins mediate crucial and diverse signaling pathways in eukaryotes. To gain insights into the regulatory modes of the G protein and the co-regulatory modes of the G protein and the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA), we generated and analyzed gene expression in G protein subunit single and double mutants of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Through a Boolean modeling approach, our analysis reveals novel modes of heterotrimeric G protein action. Keywords: transcriptome analysis; G protein subunit mutants; abscisic acid (ABA)

Improved methods for deamination-based m6A detection

Project description:We present an improved version of DART-seq which utilizes a variant of the YTH domain engineered to achieve enhanced m6A recognition in APO1-YTH (D422N). In addition, we develop in vitro DART-seq and show that it performs similarly to cellular DART-seq and can map m6A in any sample of interest using nanogram amounts of total RNA.

Optimization of a toxicogenomics-based comparison approach to categorize chemicals based on their modes of action

Project description:The current test strategy for carcinogenicity consists initially of in vivo and in vitro genotoxicity tests. Non-genotoxic carcinogens do not directly induce DNA damage and, as such, go undetected under this test strategy. In a previous study we setup a comparison approach to categorize chemicals having similar modes of action, according to similarity in gene expression. In the current study we will investigate whether this comparison approach can be improved by omptimizing the concentration selection procedure and by testing a concentration range per chemical.

Gene expression profiling in zebrafish embryos exposed to 3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA)

Project description:The zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo toxicity test (DarT) is considered as an alternative to the acute fish toxicity test. However, DarT rarely reveals information on the mechanisms underlying a toxic effect and is relatively insensitive compared to chronic toxic effects. We hypothesized that, by using gene expression profiles as an additional endpoint, it may be possible to increase the sensitivity and predictive value of DarT. Therefore we exposed zebrafish embryos for 48 h to the reference compound 3,4-dichloroaniline and analyzed gene expression patterns with a 14 k oligonucleotide array. Keywords: differential gene expression upon chemical exposure in zebrafish embryos

Gene expression profiling to recognize specific features of non-genotoxic carcinogens

Project description:The current test strategy for carcinogenicity is generally based on in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity assays. Non-genotoxic carcinogens (NGTXC) are negative for genotoxicity and go undetected. Therefore, alternative tests to detect these chemicals are urgently needed. NGTXC act through different modes of action, which complicates the development of such assays. We have demonstrated recently in primary mouse hepatocytes that some, but certainly not all, NGTXC can be categorized according to their mode of action based on feature detection at a gene expression level (Schaap et al. 2012 (PMID 22710402)). Identification of a wider range of chemicals probably requires multiple in vitro systems. In the current study, we describe the added value of using mouse embryonic stem cells. In this study, the focus is on NGTXC, but we also included genotoxic carcinogens and non-carcinogens. This approach enables us to assess the robustness of this method and to evaluate the system for recognizing features of chemicals in general, which is important for application in future risk assessment. Primary mouse hepatocytes and mouse embryonic stem cells were exposed to 26 chemicals (non-genotoxic carcinogens and non-carcinogens) representing diverse modes of action. Upon profiling, an unsupervised comparison approach was applied to recognize similar features at the transcriptomic level. This Series consists of the gene expression data of the primary mouse hepatocytes. The expression data of the mouse embryonic stem cells is submitted separately under another accession number. In this study we tested 26 chemicals of which 16 non-genotoxic carcinogens, 4 genotoxic carcinogens, 2 genotoxic non-carcinogens and 4 non-carcinogens. Specification of the chemicals can be found in the readme file.
