Effect of NF-kappa B (NF-kB) p50 (Nfkb1) deletion on ozone-induced pulmonary transcriptome changes in mice

ABSTRACT: Background: Ozone (O3) is the predominant oxidant air pollutant associated with respiratory inflammation, lung dysfunction, and worsening preexisting airway diseases. We previously determined that lack of NF-kB signlaing pathway suppressed lung injury and inflammation caused by O3 in mice. The current study was to determine transcriptome mechanisms orchestrated by NF-kB during the development of pulmonary O3 injury. Methods: To investigate the role of NF-kB1 pathway in lung gene expression changes, Nfkb1-deficient (Nfkb1-/-) and wild-type (Nfkb1+/+) mice were exposed to air or 0.3-ppm O3. Total RNAs were isolated from lung homogenates and cDNA microarray analyses were performed to elucidate NF-kB1-directed transcriptomics in basal lungs (air-exposed) as well as in the lung exposed to O3 (48 hr). Results: In air-exposed Nfkb1-/- lungs, leukocyte extravasation/adhesion and antigen presentation genes were overexpressed while immunity genes were suppressed, supporting the dual role of Nf-kB1 homodimer as a transcriptional repressor as well as transcriptional activator and the phenotype of Nfkb1-/- mice (defective response to infection and specific antibody production). After O3 exposure. Nfkb1-/- mice showed suppressed expression of lung cell cycle genes and enhanced expression of DNA damage checkpoint regulation pathway genes, compared to Nfkb1+/+ mice. Conclusion: Overall, deficiency of NF-kB1 in mouse lungs altered transcriptomes to protect lungs from O3-induced inflammation, cell proliferation, and DNA damages.

Project description:Background: Ozone (O3) is the predominant oxidant air pollutant associated with respiratory inflammation, lung dysfunction, and worsening preexisting airway diseases. We determined that TNFR signlaing pathway plays a key role in lung injury and inflammation caused by O3 in mice. However, downstream molecular mechanisms underlying TNFR pathway have not been investigated. Methods: To investigate the role of TNFR pathway in gene expression changes, Tnfr1/2-deficient (Tnfr-/-) and wild-type (Tnfr+/+, C57BL/6J) mice were exposed to air or 0.3-ppm O3. Total RNAs were isolated from lung homogenates and cDNA microarray analyses were performed to elucidate TNFR-directed transcriptomics in basal lungs (air-exposed) as well as in the lung exposed to time course of O3 (24, 48, and 72 hr). Results: O3 caused time-dependent changes in lung gene expressions with the greatest transcriptome changes at 48-72 hr of exposure in Tnfr+/+ mice. At early time of exposure (24 hr), acute phase and inflammatory responses gene as well as redox and lipid metabolism genes were increased by O3 while cell cycle and DNA damage repair genes were markedly increased by O3 at later time points (48-72 hr). Compared to Tnfr+/+ mice, Tnfr-/- mice had lowered expression of inflammatory response and vascular disorder-related genes at baseline (air). After O3 exposure, Tnfr-/- had enhanced expression of immune and inflammatory genes at 24 hr, indicating compensatory or adpative poentiation of immunity in Tnfr-/- mice. At 48 hr of O3 exposure, Tnfr-/- mice showed suppressed expression of genes involved in epithelial proliferation, inflammatory cell influxes and epithelial injury, compared to Tnfr+/+ mice. At 72 hr of O3 exposure, neurodegeneration and neurotransmitter transport genes were suppressed in Tnfr-/- than in Tnfr+/+. Conclusion: Overall, deficiency of TNFR-mediated signaling in mouse lungs altered transcriptomes to protect lungs from O3-induced inflammation, cell proliferation, oxidative stress, and neuronal disorders.

Project description:Background: The mechanisms underlying ozone (O3)-induced pulmonary inflammation remain unclear. Interleukin (IL)-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that is known to inhibit inflammatory mediators. Objectives: The current study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying IL-10-mediated attenuation of O3-induced pulmonary inflammation in mice. Methods: Il10-deficient (Il10-/-) and wild type (Il10+/+) mice were exposed to 0.3-ppm O3 or filtered air for 24, 48 or 72 hr. Immediately following exposure, differential cell counts, and total protein (a marker of lung permeability) were assessed from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). mRNA and protein levels of cellular mediators were determined from lung homogenates. We also utilized global mRNA expression analyses of lung tissue with Ingenuity Pathway Analyses (IPA) to identify patterns of gene expression through which IL-10 modifies O3-induced inflammation. Results: Mean numbers of BALF polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were significantly greater in Il10-/- mice than in Il10+/+ mice after exposure to O3 at all time points tested. O3-enhanced nuclear NF-kB translocation was elevated in the lungs of Il10-/- compared to Il10+/+ mice. Gene expression analyses revealed several key IL-10 and O3-dependent mediators, including IL-6, MIP-2, IL-1 and CD86. Conclusions: Results indicated that IL-10 protects against O3-induced pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation and cell proliferation. Moreover, gene expression analyses identified three response pathways and several novel genetic targets (e.g. Ccr1, Socs3, Il33, Hat1, and Gale) through which IL10 may modulate the innate and adaptive immune response. These novel mechanisms of protection against the pathogenesis of O3-induced pulmonary inflammation may also provide potential therapeutic targets to protect susceptible individuals. PARALLEL study design with 26 samples. Biological replicates: 2 to 3 replicates per group with wild type air exposed animals as controls for each time point (24, 48, 72 hours).

Project description:Long-term exposure to particulate air pollutants has been linked to increased incidence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). Recently, we showed that the gaseous pollutant, O3, induced glucose intolerance, and increased serum leptin and epinephrine in Brown Norway rats. In this study, we hypothesized that O3 exposure will cause broad scale changes in metabolic homeostasis involving liver, muscle and adipose tissues, and that serum metabolomic and liver transcriptomic profiling will provide mechanistic insights into pollutant-induced metabolic alterations. In the first experiment, male Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats were exposed to filtered air (FA) or O3 at 0.25, 0.50, or 1.00 ppm, 6h/day for two consecutive days to establish concentration-related effects on glucose tolerance and lung injury. In a second experiment, rats were exposed to FA or 1.0 ppm O3, 6h/day for either one day or two consecutive days and systemic metabolic responses were determined immediately after each exposure or after an 18h recovery period. In WKY rats, O3 increased serum fasting glucose and leptin on day 1. Glucose intolerance persisted through two days of exposure but reversed 18h post second exposure. O3 exposure increased circulating metabolites of glycolysis, long-chain free fatty acids, branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and cholesterol while 1,5- anhydroglucitol, bile acids and metabolites of TCA cycle were decreased, indicating impaired glycemic control, muscle proteolysis and adipose lipolysis. Liver gene expression profile after O3 exposure reflected a response to the serum metabolite changes, as evidenced by increased expression of genes for glycolysis, TCA cycle and gluconeogenesis, and decreased expression of genes involved in steroid and fat biosynthesis. In conclusion, short-term O3 exposure induced hormonal changes and global metabolic disorder reflective of changes in peripheral glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, representative of a stress-response. It remains to be examined if these metabolic alterations contribute to insulin resistance upon chronic exposure.

Project description:Ozone is a major air pollutant in highly populated areas. High levels of ambient ozone have been associated with decreased lung function and increased exacerbations of asthma in children and adults. However, the effects of ozone on the newbornM-bM-^@M-^Ys lung are largely unknown. This study was aimed at profiling the newborn lung response to ozone at the transcriptome level to define the impact of ozone pollutant on the developing postnatal lung. Newborn mice were exposed to ozone or filtered normal air for 3 h. Total RNA was isolated from lung tissues at 6 and 24 h after completion of exposure and was subjected to gene expression analysis using Whole Mouse Genome Gene Expression 4X44K Microarrays (G2519F-014868, Agilent Technologies). Transcriptome analysis of the postnatal lung indicated that 455 genes were down-regulated and 166 genes were up-regulated by at least 1.5 fold at 6 h post-ozone exposure (t-test, p<0.05). At 24 h post exposure, 543 genes were down-regulated and 323 genes were up-regulated in the lungs of ozone-exposed newborn mice, compared to filtered air-exposed newborn mice (t-test, p<0.05). After controlling for false discovery rate, 50 genes were significantly down-regulated and only 4 genes were up-regulated at 24 h post ozone-exposure (q<0.05). Gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle-associated functions including cell division/proliferation, cellular assembly and organization were the predominant pathways negatively regulated by ozone exposure. These findings suggest that elevated ozone pollution may interfere with lung development and growth in the early age. Three-day old BALB/c mice were exposed for 3 h to ozone (1000 parts per billion). Age-matching littermate controls were exposed for 3 h to filtered normal air. Whole lung tissue was collected 6 and 24 h after completion of exposure to ozone or filtered air and was subjected to microarray analysis. Each time point was performed separately with its own filtered air littermate controls. Pups were cross-fostered during exposure so that all pups were with a dam during exposure. A total of 6-8 mice were initially included in each group and time point. Of these, n=4 mouse lungs were randomly selected for use in gene expression analysis.
