Project description:The effect of perfluoroalkyl sulfonates on lipoprotein metabolism was investigated in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice with a humanized lipoprotein profile. Perfluorohexane sulfonate and perfluorooctane sulfonate markedly reduced both plasma TG and TC by decreasing nonHDL-C and HDL-C accompanied by a reduction in apoAI. Mechanistic studies showed that these effects were mainly caused by impaired lipoprotein production. Male E3L.CETP mice on a C57Bl/6 background were fed a Western-type diet, containing 0.25% (w/w) cholesterol, 1% (w/w) corn oil and 14% (w/w) bovine fat (Western-type diet) (Hope Farms, Woerden, The Netherlands) for 4 to 6 weeks in three independent experiments. Upon randomization according to total plasma cholesterol (TC) and TG levels, mice received the Western-type diet without or with PFBS (30 mg/kg/day), PFHxS (6 mg/kg/day) or PFOS (3 mg/kg/day) during 4-6 weeks. The effects of these PFAS on plasma lipids and lipoproteins were determined. In addition, PFAS levels were determined in plasma and livers were isolated for hepatic lipid analysis and hepatic gene expression analysis using an Affymetrix technology platform and Affymetrix GeneChip® mouse genome 430 2.0 arrays.

Project description:This series was used for two studies: Study 1: Recently it was discovered that the perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) detected in wildlife, such as fish-eating birds, had a greater proportion of linear PFOS (L-PFOS) than the manufactured technical product (T-PFOS), which contains linear and branched isomers. This suggests toxicological studies based on T-PFOS data may inaccurately assess exposure risk to wildlife. To determine if PFOS effects were influenced by isomer content we compared the transcriptional profiles of cultured chicken embryonic hepatocytes (CEH) exposed to either L-PFOS or T-PFOS using Agilent microarrays. At equal concentrations (10 ?M), T-PFOS altered the expression of more transcripts (340, >1.5 fold change, p<0.05) compared to L-PFOS (130 transcripts). Higher concentrations of L-PFOS (40 ?M) were also less transcriptionally disruptive (217 transcripts) than T-PFOS at 10 ?M. Functional analysis showed that L-PFOS and T-PFOS affected genes involved in lipid metabolism, hepatic system development and cellular growth and proliferation. Pathway and interactome analysis suggested that genes may be affected through the RXR receptor, oxidative stress response, TP53 signaling, MYC signaling, Wnt/?-catenin signaling and PPAR? and SREBP receptors. In all functional categories and pathways examined, the response elicited by T-PFOS was greater than L-PFOS. These data show that T-PFOS elicits a greater transcriptional response in CEH than L-PFOS alone and demonstrates the importance of considering the isomer-specific toxicological properties of PFOS when assessing exposure risk. Study 2: In many bird populations, concentrations of perfluoroundanoic acid (PFUdA) are second only to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) among perfluoroalkyl compounds. Here, we used microarrays to characterize the transcriptional response of cultured chicken embryonic hepatocytes (CEH) to PFUdA and compared it to the response induced by PFOS. At non-cytotoxic doses, PFUdA (1 or 10 ?M) disrupted the expression of more genes (854) than PFOS (447, at 10 or 40 ?M) in CEH. Using functional, pathway and interactome analysis we identified several potentially important modes-of-action (MoAs) for PFUdA and some associated key events, including the suppression of the acute-phase response (APR) through peroxisome proliferator activated receptor activation. We then measured the expression of five APR genes, fibrinogen alpha (fga), fibrinogen gamma (fgg), thrombin (f2), plasminogen (plg), and protein C (proC), in the liver of chicken embryos exposed in ovo to PFUdA. The expression of fga, f2, and proC were down-regulated in embryo livers (100 or 1000 ng/g, p<0.1) as predicted from microarray analysis, whereas fibrinogen gamma (fgg) was up-regulated and plg was not significantly affected. Our results demonstrate PFUdA is more transcriptionally disruptive than PFOS in CEH. Additionally, we identified APR suppression as a potentially important and environmentally relevant MoA. These findings suggest in ovo exposure of birds to PFUdA could lead to post-hatch developmental deficiencies, such as impaired immune response.

Project description:We previously found that a native lipoprotein mix with a high VLDL+LDL/HDL ratio causes a global de novoDNA methylation in THP-1 macrophages. In the present experiment we assessed the consequences of global lipoprotein-induced de novo DNA methylation on global gene expression in the same cells. Moreover, we sought to use gene expression array data to measure RNA expression levels for candidate factors mediating the epigenetic effects of lipoproteins. Experiment Overall Design: Human native VLDL, LDL and HDL lipoproteins were isolated from buffy coats, fractionated by ultracentrifugation, stored at -80deg., desalted to PBS before usage and kept at 4deg. for a maximum of 7d. THP-1 monocytes were differentiated to macrophages, stimulated for 24h with a mix of 68.8mg/ml VLDL, 32.1mg/ml LDL, 91.1mg/ml HDL or unstimulated (control), in serum-free medium with 2% BSA. Three independently isolated lipoprotein samples were used in triplicate.

Project description:During pregnancy, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure is linked to increased risks of preeclampsia and fetal developmental complications. Although experimental and circumstantial data suggest that PFOS induces endothelial dysfunction, leading to decreased uterine arterial blood flow and gestational hypertension, the precise regulatory mechanisms responsible for this effect remain unknown. To address this issue, we treated human uterine artery endothelial cells (hUAECs) isolated from pregnant women with PFOS and conducted a comparative transcriptomic analyses to understand the underlying mechanism of PFOS-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Project description:Statins lower plasma cholesterol by as much as 50%, thus reducing future cardiovascular events. However, the physiological effects of statins are diverse and not all are related to LDL-C lowering. We performed a small clinical pilot study to assess the impact of statins on lipoprotein-associated proteins in healthy individuals (n=10) with normal LDL-C (<130 mg/dL), who were treated with rosuvastatin (20 mg/day) for 28 days. Proteomic analysis of size-exclusion chromatography isolated LDL, HDL-L (large) and HDL-S (small) fractions and spectral counting was used to compare relative protein detection before and after statin therapy. Significant protein changes were found in each lipoprotein pool and included both increases and decreases in several proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism, complement regulation and acute phase response. The most dramatic effect of the rosuvastatin treatment was an increase in alpha-1-antirypsin (A1AT) spectral counts associated with HDL-L particles. Quantitative measurement by ELISA confirmed an average 5.7-fold increase in HDL-L associated A1AT. Molecular modeling predictions indicated that the hydrophobic reactive center loop of A1AT, the functional domain responsible for its protease inhibitor activity, is likely involved in its lipid binding and its association with HDL was found to protect A1AT against oxidative inactivation. Cell culture experiments, using J774 macrophages, demonstrated that the association of A1AT with HDL enhances its anti-protease activity, preventing elastase induced production of tumor necrosis factor alpha. In conclusion, we show that statins can significantly alter the protein composition of both LDL and HDL and our studies reveal a novel functional relationship between A1AT and HDL. The upregulation of A1AT on HDL enhances its anti-inflammatory functionality, which may contribute to the non-lipid lowering beneficial effects of statins.

Project description:Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) and a persistent environmental contaminant found in the tissues of humans and wildlife. Although blood levels of PFOS have begun to decline, health concerns remain because of the long half-life of PFOS in humans. Like other PFAAs, such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), PFOS is an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα) and exhibits hepatocarcinogenic potential in rodents. PFOS is also a developmental toxicant in rodents where, unlike PFOA, it’s mode of action is independent of PPARα. Wild-type (WT) and PPARα-null (Null) mice were dosed with 0, 3, or 10 mg/kg/day PFOS for 7 days. Animals were euthanized, livers weighed, and liver samples collected for histology and preparation of total RNA. Gene profiling was conducted using Affymetrix 430_2 microarrays. In WT mice, PFOS induced changes that were characteristic of PPARα transactivation including regulation of genes associated with lipid metabolism, peroxisome biogenesis, proteasome activation, and inflammation. PPARα-independent changes were indicated in both WT and Null mice by altered expression of genes related to lipid metabolism, inflammation, and xenobiotic metabolism. Such results are similar to prior studies done with PFOA and are consistent with modest activation of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and possibly PPARγ and/or PPARβ/δ. Unique treatment-related effects were also found in Null mice including altered expression of genes associated with ribosome biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis. Of interest was up-regulation of Cyp7a1, a gene which is under the control of various transcription regulators. Hence, in addition to its ability to modestly activate PPARα, PFOS induces a variety of “off-target” effects as well.

Project description:The host range of African trypanosomes is influenced by innate protective molecules in the blood of primates. A subfraction of human high-density lipoprotein (HDL) containing apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein L-I, and haptoglobin-related protein is toxic to Trypanosoma brucei brucei but not the human sleeping sickness parasite Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. It is thought that T. b. rhodesiense evolved from a T. b. brucei-like ancestor and expresses a defense protein that ablates the antitrypanosomal activity of human HDL. To directly investigate this possibility, we developed an in vitro selection to generate human HDL-resistant T. b. brucei. Here we show that conversion of T. b. brucei from human HDL sensitive to resistant correlates with changes in the expression of the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) and abolished uptake of the cytotoxic human HDLs. Complete transcriptome analysis of the HDL-susceptible and -resistant trypanosomes confirmed that VSG switching had occurred but failed to reveal the expression of other genes specifically associated with human HDL resistance, including the serum resistance-associated gene (SRA) of T. b. rhodesiense. In addition, we found that while the original active expression site was still utilized, expression of three expression site-associated genes (ESAG) was altered in the HDL-resistant trypanosomes. These findings demonstrate that resistance to human HDLs can be acquired by T. b. brucei. Keywords: Trypanosoma, VSG, antigenic switching, HDL-resistance
