Epigenome-wide DNA methylation of the BEAS-2B cells post-chronic exposure to SWCNTs for 60 days


ABSTRACT: As environmental pollutants and possible carcinogens, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently been found to promote tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis after long-term pulmonary exposure. However, whether CNT-induced carcinogenesis can be inherited and last for generations remains unknown. Here, we establish a post-chronic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exposed human bronchial epithelium BEAS-2B cell model to investigate SWCNTs-induced carcinogenesis. At a tolerated sublethal dose level, post-chronic SWCNTs exposure significantly increases the migration and colony formation abilities of BEAS-2B cells, leading to cell malignant transformation. Notably, the malignant transformation of BEAS-2B cells is irreversible within 60 days recovery period after SWCNTs exposure, and the malignant transformation activities of cells gradually increase during the recovery period. Mechanism analyses show that post-chronic exposure to SWCNTs causes substantial DNA methylation and transcriptome dysregulation of BEAS-2B cells. Subsequent enrichment and clinical database analyses reveal that differentially expressed/methylated genes of BEAS-2B cells are enriched in cancer-related biological pathways, and several of these genes are validated in lung cancer patients.
