Gene expression profiling in BEAS-2B cells treated with organic extracts from particulate matter produced by gasoline (E0) or gasoline-ethanol blend (E15)

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to perform comparative analysis of global gene expression changes in lung BEAS-2B cells in response to treatment with extracts of particulate matter produced by conventional gasoline (E0) or biogasoline (E15) differing in the content of organic compounds, particularly PAHs. To examine the toxicity, we monitored genome-wide gene expression changes in human lung BEAS-2B cells, exposed for 4h and 24h to a subtoxic dose of each PM extract. After 4h exposure, numerous dysregulated genes and processes such as oxidative stress, lipid and steroid metabolism, PPARα signaling and immune response, were found to be common for both extract treatments. Twenty four hour exposure resulted in more distinctive gene expression patterns. Although several common modulated processes indicating the metabolism of PAHs and activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) were identified, E15 specifically dysregulated a variety of other genes and pathways related to cancer promotion and progression, possibly due to the increased PAH content in PM organic extract.
