Project description:Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are persistent, highly toxic, and widely distributed environmental pollutants. The microbial populations and functional reductive dehalogenases (RDases) responsible for PBDEs debromination in anoxic systems remain poorly understood, which confounds bioremediation of PBDE-contaminated sites. Here we report a PBDE-debrominating enrichment culture dominated by a previously undescribed Dehalococcoides mccartyi population. A D. mccartyi strain, designated TZ50, whose genome contains 25 putative RDase encoding genes was isolated from the debrominating enrichment culture. Strain TZ50 dehalogenated a mixture of penta- and tetra-BDE congeners (total BDEs 1.48 uM) to diphenyl ether within two weeks (0.58 uM Br- /d) via ortho- and meta- bromine elimination; strain TZ50 also dechlorinated tetrachloroethene (PCE) to vinyl chloride and ethene (260.2 M Cl- /d). Native-PAGE, proteomic profiling, and in vitro enzymatic activity assays implicated the involvement of three RDases in PBDEs and PCE dehalogenation. Two RDases, TZ50_0172 (PteATZ50) and TZ50_1083 (TceATZ50), were responsible for debromination of penta- and tetra-BDEs to di-BDE. TZ50_0172 and TZ50_1083 were also implicated in dechlorination of PCE to TCE and of TCE to vinyl chloride/ethene, respectively. The other expressed dehalogenase, TZ50_0090, was associated with debromination of di-BDE to diphenyl ether, but its role in PCE dechlorination was unclear. Comparatively few RDases are known to be involved in PBDE debromination and the identification of PteATZ50, TceATZ50, and TZ50_0090 provides additional information for evaluating debromination potential at contaminated sites. Moreover, the bifunctionality of the PteATZ50 and TceATZ50 in both PBDEs and PCE dehalogenation makes strain TZ50 a suitable candidate for remediation of co-contaminated sites.

Project description:Affymetrix high-density oligonucleotide microarray analysis was performed to analyse hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH-PBDE)-induced gene expression changes in H295R adrenocortical carcinoma cells. Cells were treated with growth medium in the presence or absence of 10 µM 2-OH-BDE47 or 2-OH-BDE85 for 24 hours before the gene expression changes were investigated. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression changes in response to hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH-PBDEs) were analysed by Microarray technology in H295R adrenocortical carcinoma cells. Cells were treated with 10 µM of 2-OH-BDE47 or 2-OH-BDE85 (or growth medium alone) for 24 hours before the OH-PBDE-induced gene expression changes were investigated. Control, 2-OH-BDE47- and 2-OH-BDE85-treated samples were collected from three independent experiments each.

Project description:Exposure to estrogen and its mimics during menopausal transition is thought to modify the structure of mammary gland. Using a surgical menopausal (ovariectomized) mouse model, we assessed how mammary gland tissue was affected by both 17β-estradiol (E2) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Three analyzed flame retardants, BDE-47, BDE-100 and BDE-153, are most frequently detected in human serum from all over the world. During physiologically-relevant exposure to E2, PBDEs enhanced E2-mediated regrowth of mammary glands with terminal end bud-like structures. According to sequencing analysis of mammary gland RNA, PBDEs both augmented E2-facilitated cell proliferationgene expression changes and modulated immune regulation. To better elucidate the effects of E2 and PBDEs, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) analysis was performed. In a definitive manner, E2 was found to induce Pgr expression in both Esr1+ and Esr1- cells. Significantly, molecular evidence was available to show functional differences among cells with differential expression of Esr1 and Pgr. The PBDEs + E2 treatment increased the number of double positive (Esr1+Pgr+) and Pgr only (Esr1-Pgr+) cells in both mature luminal epithelial and progenitor cells of luminal epithelialcells. Moreover, the combination increased the mammary gland population of M2 macrophages. The results help clarify how exposure to both E2 and endocrine disrupting chemicals like PBDEs during menopausal transition impact mammary gland structure. Ultimately, the findings advance understanding of how exposure can increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Project description:Extensive use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) has resulted in widespread environmental distribution and concerns remain about risks to human health and ecosystems from legacy PBDE contamination. Though bioremediation has been proven to be a cost-effective and efficient technology for treating halogenated pollutants in situ, application of bioremediation technologies at PBDE-contaminated sites is restricted by a lack of knowledge about functional PBDE-dehalogenating microbes. In the current study, we observed distinct PBDE-dehalogenation activity by three previously isolated Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains (CG1, CG4, and 11a5). PBDE debromination proceeded via distinct pathways in each D. mccartyi strain and involved previously characterized (TceA11a5, PcbA1, and PcbA4) and uncharacterized (11a5_e001) reductive dehalogenases (RDase), suggesting that this phenotype may be more widespread among the Dehalococcoides than is currently recognized.

Project description:Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are commonly used as flame retardants in a variety of commercial and household products. They have been detected in the environment and accumulate in mammalian tissues and fluids. PBDE toxicity is thought to be associated with endocrine disruption, developmental neurotoxicity and changes in fetal development. Although humans are exposed to PBDEs, our knowledge of the effects of PBDE metabolites on human cells with respect to health risk is insufficient. Two hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs), 2-OH-BDE47 and 2-OH-BDE85, were investigated for their effects on cell viability/proliferation, DNA damage, cell cycle distribution and gene expression profiling in H295R adrenocortical carcinoma cells. We show that the two agents are cytotoxic in a dose-dependent manner only at micromolar concentrations, with 2-OH-BDE85 being more toxic than 2-OH-BDE47. However, no DNA damage was observed for either chemical, suggesting that the biological effects of OH-PBDEs occur primarily via non-genotoxic routes. Furthermore, no evidence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)-mediated, dioxin-like toxicity was observed. Instead, we report that a micromolar concentration of OH-PBDEs induces transcriptional changes associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response. We discuss whether OH-PBDE bioaccumulation could result in impairment of the adrenocortical secretory function.

Project description:For the majority of lipophilic compounds adipose tissue is traditionally considered as storage depot and only rarely as a target organ. Meanwhile, abnormalities in adipose tissue physiology induced by chemical exposures may contribute to the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic diseases. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) is a group of lipophilic flame retardants found in majority of human samples in North America. Their ability to alter physiology of adipose tissue is unknown. We exposed pregnant mice to 0.2 mg/kg body weight/day of BDE-47 perinatally. Transcriptomic changes in gonadal adipose tissue were analyzed in male offspring using RNA-seq approach with subsequent bioinformatic analysis. Genes of coagulation and complement cascade, de novo lipogenesis, and xenobiotic metabolism were altered in expression in response to BDE-47 exposure. The affected molecular network included the following hubs: PPARα, HNF1A and HNF4. These findings suggest that adipose tissue should be considered a target tissue for BDE-47, in addition to its role as a storage depot. This study also builds a background for a targeted search of sensitive phenotypic endpoints of BDE-47 exposure, including lipid profile parameters and coagulation factors in circulation. Additional studies are needed to investigate the role of PBDEs as an obesogen.

Project description:Liver gene transcripts patterns were used to characterize toxicity from exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), flame retardant components. In this study, Wistar Han dams were exposed by gavage to the PBDE mixture (DE71) starting at gestation day 6 (GD 6) and continuing to weaning on postnatal day 21 (PND 21). Offspring from the dams began PBDE direct dosing on PND 12 and were dosed daily through PND 21. After weaning, they were dosed 5 days per week for another 13 weeks. Liver samples were collected at PND 22 and week 13 for liver gene expression analysis and interrogated with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array. PBDE treatment induced 1,066 liver gene transcript changes in females and 1,200 transcriptional changes in males at PND 22 (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.01), but only 263 liver transcriptional changes at 13 weeks in male rats (FDR <0.05). No significant differences in dose response were found between male and female pups. There were a total of 6 groups and 5x replication for each group, for 30 total samples that were analyzed. The groups were (1) pup-male-CTL, (2) pup-female-CTL, (3) pup-male-PBDE, (4) pup-female-PBDE, (5) rat-male-CTL, (6) rat-male-PBDE. We generated the following pairwise comparisons using R/maanova: malePups(PBDE vs CTL), femalePups(PBDE vs CTL), maleRats(PBDE vs CTL), CTLpups(male vs female), PBDEpups(male vs female). We also performed ANOVA test for SEX-by-DOSE (pups) and AGE-by-DOSE (males). For pups, genes with an FDR≤1% were selected; for rats, genes with FDR < 5% were selected.

Project description:Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were used as flame-retardant additives in a wide range of polymers starting in 1965 and were recently withdrawn from commerce in North America and Europe. Generations that were exposed perinatally to the highest environmental doses of PBDE have now reached 5-20 years of age and in the U.S. account for 1/5 of the total population. Emerging data indicates long-term impairment of metabolic health by PBDE exposure in humans and laboratory animals. We hypothesize that exposure to PBDE during sensitive developmental windows may result in long-lasting changes in liver metabolism. In this study pregnant CD-1 mice were exposed to 0.2 mg/kg 2,2’,4,4’-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) from gestation day 8 till postnatal day 21 and liver RNA-seq was performed on the last day of dam exposure and on postnatal week 20 in male offspring. Several groups of metabolic genes, including ribosomal and mitochondrial genes were significantly upregulated at both time-points. Genes regulated via mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR pathway), the gatekeeper of metabolic homeostasis, were whether up- or down- regulated at both time-points. Thus, perinatal exposure to environmentally relevant doses of BDE-47 in laboratory mice results in long-lasting changes in liver metabolism. Our evidence suggests involvement of the mTOR pathway in the observed metabolic programming of liver.
