Project description:To unravel possible mechanisms of Cd tissue-specificity, and to further deepen the understanding of cadmium mechanisms, we have compared transcriptomics data from cell models representative of three major Cd targets: pulmonary (A549), hepatic (HepG2), and neuronal (SH-SY-5Y) cells. Results from KEGG analysis show that only one specific pathway is dysregulated in a significant way in all cell models: the mineral absorption pathway.

Project description:We established a rat model of cadmium-induced COPD and evaluated its impact. Using proteomics technology, we identified differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in rat lung tissue exposed to various concentrations of cadmium. Our research findings suggest that cadmium-induced COPD may involve biological processes such as mineral absorption pathways and ferroptosis, with Hmox1 potentially playing a key role.

Project description:Background: Heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is a common environmental pollutant in soils, which has an negative impacts on crop growth and development. At present, cadmium has become a major soil and water heavy metal pollutant, which not only causes permanent and irreversible health problems for humans, but also causes a significant reduction in crop yields. Results: This study examined the chemical forms of Cd in the roots of two wheat varieties (M1019 and Xinong20) by continuous extraction and analyzed differences in distribution characteristics of Cd in the root cell wall, cytoplasm, and organelles by elemental content determination and subcellular separation. Furthermore, we conducted proteomics analysis of the roots of the two varieties under Cd pollution using mass spectrometry quantitative proteomics techniques. A total of 11,651 proteins were identified, of which 10,532 proteins contained quantitative information. In addition, the differentially expressed proteins in the two varieties were related to DNA replication and repair, protein metabolism, and the glutathione metabolism pathway. Conclusion: The results of this study improve our understanding of the mechanism of plant responses to Cd stress.

Project description:Plant growth is severely affected by toxic concentrations of the non-essential heavy metal cadmium (Cd). Comprehensive transcriptome analysis by RNA-Seq following cadmium exposure is required to further understand plant responses to Cd and facilitate future systems-based analyses of the underlying regulatory networks. In this study, rice plants were hydroponically treated with 50 µM Cd for 24 hours. In total, ~60,000 transcripts, including transcripts that could not be characterized by microarray-based approaches, were evaluated and ~36,000 transcripts were responsive to Cd exposure. Among multigenic families that may protect cells from generated ROS and reduce Cd toxicity, prominently upregulated antioxidant enzyme genes were identified. Furthermore, 168 different metal ion transporter genes, which might mediate the transport of transition Cd, responded to Cd exposure. qRT-PCR analysis of randomly selected genes indicated that their expression changed obviously after exposure to various heavy metal stresses. The Cd responsive genes included many abiotic stress (drought, high-salinity, low temperature) responsive genes. Based on further investigation into the expression patterns of abiotic stress regulatory genes such as DREB, part of the signal transduction pathway for Cd exposure was determined to cross-talk with abiotic stress signaling pathways. Our results provide useful information for further studies of the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to Cd exposure and the improvement of Cd tolerance in crop species.

Project description:Heavy metal cadmium (Cd) affects seriously crop growth, quality and yield, and has potential threats to human safety. We found the difference of two ryegrasses (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), a high-Cd tolerance (LmHC) and a low-Cd tolerance (LmLC) cultivars , in response to cadmium stress. The germination rate, plant growth, and fresh weight of LmHC were much better than that of LmLC. So we use RNA sequencing to investigate the differentially expressed genes(DEGs) about cadmium response between LmHC and LmLC. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that the same DEGs of LmLC and LmHC had obviously difference expression level under Cd treatment. It was suggestion that differential expression of DEGs might be involved in regulating Cd tolerance, accumulation and translocation.These results will be helpful for understanding the underlying molecular mechanism in Cd toxicity and provide references for improving the ecological environment through genetic improvement.

Project description:Cadmium (Cd)-contamination in soil has been becoming a major environmental problem in China. Ramie, a fiber crop, was frequently proposed to be used as the crop for phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated farmlands. However, high level Cd accumulation can cause a great inhibition of growth in ramie. To understand the potential mechanism for this phenomenon, the ramie genes involved in the Cd stress response were identified using Illumina pair-end sequencing in two Cd-stressed plants (CdS1 and CdS2) and two control plants (CO1 and CO2) in this study. Approximately 48.7, 51.6, 41.2, and 47.1 million clean sequencing reads generated from the libraries of CO1, CO2, CdS1, and CdS2, respectively, were De novo assembled to yield 56,932 non-redundant unigenes. A total of 26,686 (46.9%) genes were annotated for their function. Comparison of gene expression levels between CO and CdS ramie revealed 155 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Sixteen DEGs was further confirmed their expression difference by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Among these 16 DEGs, 2 genes encoding GA2-oxidase which is a major enzyme for deactivating bioactive gibberellins (GAs) were found with a markedly up-regulated expression, which is possibly responsible for the growth inhibition of Cd-stressed ramie. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that a pathway (Cutin, suberine and wax biosynthesis) was markedly enriched by DEGs. The discovery of these Cd stress-responsive genes and pathways will be helpful for further understanding the mechanism of Cd-stressed response and improving the ability of Cd stress tolerance in ramie. A total of four samples, two replicates of control plants (CO1 and CO2) and two replicates of cadmium-stressed plants (CdS1 and CdS2) were used for RNA-seq.

Project description:Ecotoxicological tests may be biased by the use of laboratory strains that usually contain very limited genetic diversity. It is therefore essential to study how genetic variation influences stress tolerance relevant for toxicity outcomes. To that end we studied sensitivity to cadmium in two distinct genotypes of the parthogenetic soil ecotoxicological model organism Folsomia candida. Clonal lines of both genotypes (TO1 and TO2) showed divergent fitness responses to cadmium exposure; TO2 reproduction was 20% less affected by cadmium. Statistical analyses revealed significant differences between the cadmium-affected transcriptomes; i) the number of genes affected by cadmium in TO2 was only minor (~22%) compared to TO1; ii) 97 genes showed a genotype M-CM-^W cadmium interaction and their response to cadmium showed globally larger fold changes in TO1 when compared to TO2; iii) the interaction genes showed a concerted manner of expression in TO1 while a less coordinated pattern was observed in TO2. We conclude that (1) there is genetic variation in parthenogenetic populations of F. candida, and (2) this variation affects life-history and molecular endpoints relative to cadmium toxicity. This sheds new light on the sources of biological variability in test results, even when the test organisms are thought to be genetically homogeneous because of their parthenogenetic reproduction. Gene expression was measured in two different clones (TO1 and TO2) of the springtail Folsomia candida, after exposure of 2 days to soil containing cadmium (Cd+) and non-spiked (Cd-) soil. A 2 x 2 factorial analysis was performed, to examine the effect of clone (TO1, TO2), of treatment (Cd+, Cd-), and the clone x treatment interaction.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cadmium (Cd) is implicated in prostate carcinogenesis but its oncogenic action remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to decipher changes in cell growth and the transcriptome in an immortalized human normal prostate epithelial cell line (NPrEC) following exposure to low-dose Cd. METHODS: Synchronized NPrEC cells were exposed to different doses of Cd and assayed for cell viability and cell-cycle progression. Temporal changes in transcriptome were investigated by global profiling. Ingenuity Pathways Analyses were used to develop propositions about functional connections among differentially expressed genes. A neutralizing antibody was used to negate the effect of Cd-induced upregulation of TNF in NPrEC. RESULTS: Exposure of NPrEC to 2.5 microM of Cd enhanced cell viability and accelerated cell-cycle progression. Global expression profiling identified 48 genes that exhibited â?¥1.5-fold changes in expression after 4, 8, 16 and 32 hr of Cd treatment. Pathway analyses inferred a functional connection among 35 of these genes in one major network with TNF as the most prominent node. Fourteen out of the 35 genes in the network are related to TNF with 11 exhibited an average of â?¥2-fold changes in gene expression. Real-time RT-PCR confirmed the upregulation of 7 of the 11 genes (ADAM8, EDN1, IL8, IL24, IL13RA2, COX2/PTGS2 and SERPINB2) and uncovered a 28-fold transient increase in TNF expression in Cd-treated NPrEC. A TNF-neutralizing antibody effectively blocked Cd-induced elevations in the expression of these genes. CONCLUSIONS: Non-cytotoxic, low-dose Cd has growth-promoting effects on NPrEC and induces transient overexpression of TNF, leading to upregulation of genes with oncogenic and immunomodulation functions. Experiment Overall Design: A total of 19 samples were analyzed, each experimental condition having two biological replicates, except Cadmium 4hr which has only 1 sample. Cadmium-treated and control samples were taken at 0, 4, 8, 16, and 32 hours.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating the expression of various stress responses genes in plant. To investigate soybean (Glycine max) miRNAs involved in the response to cadmium (Cd), microarrays containing 953 unique miRNA probes were employed to identify differences in the expression patterns of the miRNA between different genotypes, Huaxia3 (HX3, Cd-tolerant) and Zhonghuang24 (ZH24, Cd-sensitive). A total of 26 Cd-responsive miRNAs were identified, of which nine were detected in both cultivars, while five were expressed only in HX3 and 12 were only in ZH24. In the study presented here, four root samples from two contrast soybean cultivars, HX3 (Cd-tolerant) and ZH24 (Cd-sensitive), with or without (Cd) cadmium, harvested at 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 144 h after the initiation of Cd treatment, was used to acquire expression profiles of a total of 953 unique genes, leading to the successful construction of supervised.
