Project description:This experiment was conducted as part of an overall study aimed at examining effects of a dopamine receptor antagonist on reproduction, behavior, and gene expression in cyprinid fish. Relative to gene expression, we hypothesized that if haloperidol disrupted normal regulation of the HPG axis, there may be robust transcriptional alterations in the ovary of exposed females that might serve as useful markers of exposure and/or effects. For the purposes of this study, robust transcriptional alterations were defined as those detected in two separate fish species (fathead minnow and zebrafish), exposed to the same concentration of haloperidol for the same duration. There is a companion zebrafish microarray experiment (GSE14861) that these data are compared to. Transcriptional responses in the ovary of the two species are compared in terms of differentially expressed genes, enriched gene ontology categories they represent, and associated pathways.

Fathead minnow and zebrafish microarray experiment Samples for microarray analysis were generated in a separate, 96 h, continuous flow-through experiment. Nominal treatment concentrations for the microarray experiment were 0 and 50 μg haloperidol/L. Chemical (or control water) delivery was initiated 24 h prior to adding fish to the tanks. To start the experiment, fathead minnows (4 males, 4 females per tank) were added to each of three tanks per treatment group, while zebrafish (6 males, 6 females per tank) were added to each of two tanks per group. The time of fish addition was staggered by replicate within each treatment such that all samples from a given exposure tank could be collected within 60 min of the intended 96 h exposure duration. After 96 h, male and female zebrafish and female fathead minnows were anesthetized in buffered MS-222 and weighed. Whole gonads were removed, weighed, and preserved in RNAlater. Total RNA was isolated from fathead minnow ovary samples using RNeasy kits (Qiagen). RNA quality was assessed with a Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and quantity was determined using a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Nanodrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA). Aliquots of six fathead minnow ovary RNA samples per treatment group (two from each replicate per treatment) were prepared for microarray analysis.

Project description:Fathead minnow and zebrafish are among the most intensively studied fish species in environmental toxicogenomics. To aid the assessment and interpretation of subtle transcriptomic effects from treatment conditions of interest, there needs to be a better characterization and understanding of the natural variation in gene expression among fish individuals within populations. Little effort, however, has been made in this area. Leveraging the transcriptomics data from a number of our toxicogenomics studies conducted over the years, we conducted a meta-analysis of nearly 600 microarrays generated from the ovary tissue of untreated, reproductively mature fathead minnow and zebrafish samples. As expected, there was considerable batch-to-batch transcriptomic variation; this “batch-effect” appeared to impact the fish transcriptomes randomly. The overall level of variation within-batch was quite low in fish ovary tissue, making it a suitable system for studying chemical stressors with subtle biological effects. The within-batch variation, however, differed considerably among individual genes and molecular pathways. This difference in variability is probably both technical and biological, thus suggesting a need to take into account both the expression levels and variance in evaluating and interpreting the transcriptional impact on genes and pathways by experimental conditions. There was significant conservation of both the genomes and transcriptomes between fathead minnow and zebrafish. The conservation to such a degree would enable not only a comparative biology approach in studying the mechanisms of action underlying environmental stressors, but also effective sharing of a large amount of existing public transcriptomics data for future development of toxicogenomics applications. total RNA from the ovary tissue of treated or control fish labeled in single color was hybridized to Agilent fathead minnow microarray (design 019597)

Project description:Omics approaches are broadly used to explore endocrine and toxicity-related pathways and functions. Nevertheless, there is still a significant gap in knowledge in terms of understanding the endocrine system and its numerous connections and intricate feedback loops, especially in non-model organisms. The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) is a widely used small fish model for aquatic toxicology and regulatory testing, particularly in North America. A draft genome has been published but the amount of available genomic or transcriptomic information is still far behind that of other more broadly studied species, such as the zebrafish. Here, we surveyed the tissue-specific proteome and transcriptome profiles in adult male fathead minnow. To do so, we generated a draft transcriptome using short and long sequencing reads. We also performed RNA sequencing and proteomics analysis on the telencephalon, hypothalamus, liver, and gut of male fish. The main purpose of this analysis was to generate tissue-specific omics data in order to support future aquatic ecotoxicogenomic and endocrine-related studies as well as to improve our understanding of the fathead minnow as an ecological model.

Project description:Background: Complex biological networks control fundamental processes such as reproduction. The relationship of network structure to biological function was investigated in a global gene interaction network developed from ovary tissues of the model fish, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). Results: A global ovary gene interaction network was inferred from gene expression in ovaries of fathead minnow representing 288 different exposure conditions and 1,472 microarrays. More than 74 percent of the interactions in two subnetworks and 37% of the connections in a third subnetwork were also present as known connections found in curated databases and the literature. Subnetworks within the network were enriched in specific pathways and key ovarian functions. The network location of differentially expressed genes from different ovary stages was consistent with known functional changes at those stages. The global network provide additional insight into gene function when gene directly linked to differentially expressed genes are considered in enrichment analysis. Analysis of the impact of bisphenol A on ovarian gene expression demonstrated that the network provides an informative frame work in which to investigate mechanisms by which chemical effects occur. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the ovary transcriptional network is composed of several connected subnetworks where each is enriched in specific functions. Construction of a global gene regulatory network from multiple experiments provides valuable insight into the function of genes and the impact of chemicals on biological systems. total RNA from the ovary tissue of treated or control fish labeled in single color was hybridized to Agilent fathead minnow microarray (design 019597)

Project description:Effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on ovarian transcript profiles as well as targeted endpoints with endocrine/reproductive relevance were examined in two fish species, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and zebrafish (Danio rerio), exposed in parallel using matched experimental designs. Four days of waterborne exposure to 10 µg BPA caused significant vitellogenin induction in both species. However, zebrafish were less sensitive to effects on hepatic gene expression and steroid production than fathead minnow and the magnitude of vitellogenin induction was more modest. The concentration-response at the ovarian transcriptome level was non-monotonic and violated assumptions that underlie proposed methods for estimating hazard thresholds from transcriptomic results. However, the non-monotonic profile was consistent among species and there were nominal similarities in the functions associated with the differentially expressed genes, suggesting potential activation of common pathway perturbation motifs in both species. Overall, the results provide an effective case study for considering the potential application of ecotoxicogenomics to ecological risk assessments and provide novel comparative data regarding effects of BPA in fish.

Overall, the results provide an effective case study for considering the potential application of ecotoxicogenomics to ecological risk assessments and provide novel comparative data regarding effects of BPA in fish. Fish were exposed to 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10, or 100 µg BPA/L delivered in a continuous flow (45 ml/min) of sand filtered, UV treated, Lake Superior Water, without the use of carrier solvents. The design employed six replicate tanks per treatment. Three of the replicates were loaded with three male and three female zebrafish per tank, while the remaining three replicates were loaded with three male and three female fathead minnows. Addition of fish to the exposure tanks was staggered by replicate such that all sampling could be completed within 60 min of the desired 96 h exposure duration. After 96 h of exposure, fish were anesthetized in a buffered solution of tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222; Finquel; Argent, Redmond, WA, USA) and weighed. Blood was collected from the caudal vasculature using microhematocrit tubes, centrifuged to separate the plasma, and plasma was stored at -80oC until analyzed. Liver, gonad, and brain tissues (including pituitary gland) were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80oC until extracted. Total RNA was isolated from ovary tissue of both fathead minnow and zebrafish using RNeasy kits (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). RNA quality was evaluated using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Wilmington, DE, USA) and RNA was quantified spectrophotometrically (Nanodrop). Total RNA samples were stored at -80oC until used for microarray analyses. Ovarian transcripts from 32 fathead minnows (n=5 per treatment, except for control and 1.0 µg BPA/L, n=6) were analyzed using a custom, 15,000 gene microarray (GEO Platform Accession GPL9248) purchased from Agilent Technologies (Palo Alto, CA, USA). Ovarian transcripts from 34 zebrafish (n=6 per treatment, except 0.01 and 0.1 µg BPA/L, n=5) were analyzed using a commercial 44,000 feature microarray (Agilent design 019161; GEO Platform Accession GPL6457). The same hybridization and scanning procedures were used for both platforms. Briefly, microarrays were hybridized following the manufacturer’s guidelines for One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis (version 5.7; Agilent). Hybridizations were conducted with 1 µg of total RNA. Complementary DNA synthesis, cRNA labeling, amplification, and hybridizations were performed following the manufacturer’s kits and protocols (Quick Amp labeling kit; Agilent). Scanning was conducted at 5 µm resolution using an Axon GenePix® 4000B Microarray Scanner (Molecular Devices Inc., Concord, Ontario, Canada). Data were extracted from microarray array images using Agilent Feature Extraction Software (Agilent; Palo Alto, CA, USA).
