Gene expression profiling in the fetal cardiac tissue after folate and low dose trichloroethylene exposure

ABSTRACT: To identify transcriptional targets altered in the embryonic heart after exposure to TCE, and possible protective effects of folate, we used DNA microarray technology to profile gene expression in embryonic mouse hearts with maternal TCE exposure and dietary changes in maternal folate. Results: Exposure to low doses of TCE (10ppb) caused extensive alterations in transcripts encoding proteins involved in transport, ion channel, transcription, differentiation, cytoskeleton, cell cycle and apoptosis. Exogenous folate did not offset the effects of TCE exposure on normal gene expression and both high and low levels of folate produced additional significant changes in gene expression. Conclusions: A mechanism where TCE induces a folate deficiency does not explain altered gene expression patterns in the embryonic mouse heart. The data further suggest that use of folate supplementation, in the presence of this toxin, may be detrimental and non-protective of the developing embryo.

Mitochondrial dysfunction, disruption of F-actin polymerization, and transcriptomic alterations in zebrafish larvae exposed to trichloroethylene

Project description:Trichloroethylene (TCE) is primarily used as an industrial degreasing agent and has been in use since the 1940s. TCE is released into the soil, surface, and groundwater. From an environmental and regulatory standpoint more than half of Superfund hazardous waste sites on the National Priority List are contaminated with TCE. Occupational exposure to TCE occurs primarily via inhalation, while environmental TCE exposure also occurs through ingestion of contaminated drinking water. Current literature links TCE exposure to various adverse health effects including cardiovascular toxicity. Current studies aiming to address developmental cardiovascular toxicity utilized rodent and avian models with the majority of studies using relatively higher parts per million (ppm; mg/L) doses. In this study to further investigate developmental cardiotoxicity of TCE, zebrafish embryos were treated with 0, 10, 100, or 500 parts per billion (ppb; μg/L) TCE during embryogenesis and/or through early larval stages. After the appropriate exposure period, angiogenesis, F-actin polymerization, and mitochondrial function were assessed. A significant dose response decrease in angiogenesis, F-actin polymerization, and mitochondrial function was observed. To further complement this data, a transcriptomic profile of zebrafish larvae was completed to identify gene alterations associated with the 10 ppb TCE exposure. Results from the transcriptomic data revealed that an embryonic TCE exposure caused significant changes in genes associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, and organismal injury and abnormalities with a number of targets in the FAK signaling pathway. Overall, results from our study further support TCE as a developmental cardiovascular toxicant and continued priority for environmental regulation.

Trichloroethylene-induced mRNA expression changes in B6C3F1 mouse liver

Project description:To examine changes, if any, in the expression of mRNAs in the liver tissue of mice, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes responsive to Trichloroethylene (TCE) treatment. In our results, the expression levels of 431 mRNAs were changed after TCE exposure, of which 291 were up-regulated and 140 were down-regulated. Using qPCR, we validated six of the mRNA expression changed genes, viz., Jun, Cdkn1a, Rad51b, Uhrf1, Svil and Ihh. Six B6C3F1 male mice were oral administrated with either corn oil or TCE (dissolved in corn oil, 1000mg/kg b.w per day) for 5 days. The expression changes of mRNAs in TCE exposured mouse liver were screened by whole genome microarray expression profiling and were validated by qPCR.

Transcriptional responses to maternal trichloroethylene and/or N-acetyl cysteine exposure in Wistar rat placental tissue

Project description:Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a persistent and pervasive environmental contaminant. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant that may reduce TCE effects. Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to 480 mg TCE mg/kg/day, 200 mg/kg/day NAC or co-exposure with both chemicals via ingestion (mini vanilla wafer) on gestation days 6-16 (tissue collection day). TCE- and/or NAC-induced changes to gene expression were evaluated in male and female rat placentae.

Evaluation of differential gene expression in placental tissues exposed to the trichloroethylene metabolite S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC)

Project description:Trichloroethylene (TCE) is an industrial solvent and widespread environmental contaminant. Human TCE exposure is prevalent, though epidemiological studies testing TCE exposure and adverse birth outcomes are inconclusive. The TCE metabolite S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) exhibits toxicity at human-relevant concentrations in a placental cell line. To date, DCVC cytotoxicity mechanistic studies have been limited to single molecular signaling pathways and biological responses. In the current study, genome-wide gene expression and gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) were used to identify novel genes and pathways altered by human exposure-relevant DCVC concentrations in human placental villous explant tissues. The results of this study were compared to a parallel study using the placental cell line HTR-8/SVneo.

Folate deficiency reduced aberrant level of DOT1L-mediated histone H3K79 methylation causes disruptive SHH gene expression involved in neural tube defects

Project description:Neural tube defects (NTDs) are one of the most severe congenital abnormalities. Maternal folate deficiency could impact the occurrence of NTDs. Histone H3 methyltransferase disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (DOT1L) expression was significantly downregulated, and low levels of H3K79me2 were found in the corresponding NTDs samples with their maternal serum folate under low levels. Using ChIP-seq assays, we found that a decrease of H3K79me2 downregulates the expression of Shh and Sufu in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) under folate deficiency. Our results indicate that abnormal Shh and Sufu genes expression reduced by aberrant Dot1l-mediated H3K79me2 levels could be the cause of NTDs occurrence.

Multi-omics Analysis Revealing the Impact of Excessive Maternal Folate Supplementation on Offspring Brain Development [spatial transcriptome]

Project description:Folate is crucial for diverse biological processes including neurogenesis. While folate supplementation during pregnancy is standard for preventing neural tube defects (NTDs), concerns are growing over the potential risks of excessive maternal intake. In this study, we employed spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus multi-omics techniques to investigate the impact of increased maternal folate intake on offspring brain development. Elevated folate intake broadly affected gene pathways linked to neurogenesis and neuronal axon myelination across multiple brain regions. Furthermore, specific gene expression alterations related to learning and memory processes emerged in thalamic and ventricular regions. Single-nucleus multi-omics analysis revealed that maturing excitatory neurons in dentate gyrus are particularly vulnerable to suboptimal maternal folate intake. Aberrant gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes were primarily centered on pathways governing ribosomal biogenesis, which is critical for synaptic formation. Altogether, our findings provide novel insights into how excessive maternal folate supplementation affects offspring brain development, notably by influencing gene expression and chromatin accessibility.

The effect of trichloroethylene on gene expression in mouse liver

Project description:Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a widely used industrial chemical, and a common environmental contaminant. It is a well-known carcinogen in rodents and a probable carcinogen in humans. Studies utilizing panels of mouse inbred strains afford a unique opportunity to understand both metabolic and genetic basis for differences in responses to TCE. We tested the hypothesis that individual and liver-specific toxic effects of TCE are genetically controlled and that the mechanisms of toxicity and susceptibility can be uncovered by exploring responses to TCE using a diverse panel of inbred mouse strains. TCE (2100 mg/kg) or corn oil vehicle were administered by gavage to 6-8 wk old male mice of 15 mouse strains. Serum and liver were collected at 2, 8, and 24 hr post dosing and were analyzed for TCE metabolites, hepatocellular injury and gene expression of liver. TCE metabolism, as evident from the levels of individual oxidative and conjugative metabolites, varied considerably between strains. TCE treatment-specific effect on the liver transcriptome was strongly dependent on the individual’s genetic background. PPAR-mediated molecular networks, consisting of the metabolism genes known to be induced by TCE, represent some of the most pronounced molecular effects of TCE treatment in mouse liver that are dependent on the individual’s genetic background. Conversely, cell death, liver necrosis, and immune mediated response pathways which are affected by TCE treatment in liver are largely genetic background-independent. These studies provide better understanding of the mechanisms of TCE-induced toxicity anchored on metabolism and genotype-phenotype correlations that may define susceptibility or resistance. 16 mouse strains were studied, vehicle control and mice treated by gavage with 2100 mg/kg Trichloroethylene and sacrificed 24 hrs after dosing
