Project description:Evidence that persistent environmental pollutants may target the male reproductive system is increasing. The male reproductive system is regulated by secretion of testosterone by testicular Leydig cells, and perturbation of Leydig cells function may have ultimate consequences. 3-methylsulfonyl-DDE (3-MeSO2-DDE) is a potent adrenal toxicants formed from the persistent insecticide DDT. Although studies have revealed endocrine disruptive effect of 3-MeSO2-DDE, the underlying mechanisms at cellular level in steroidogenic Leydig cells remains to be established. The current study addresses the effect of 3-MeSO2-DDE viability, hormone production and proteome response of primary neonatal porcine Leydig cells. The AlamarBlue™ assay was used to evaluate cell viability. Solid phase radioimmunoassay was used to measure concentration of hormones produced by both unstimulated and luteinizing hormone (LH)-stimulated Leydig cells following 48 h exposure. Protein samples from Leydig cells exposed to a non-cytotoxic concentration of 3-MeSO2-DDE (10µM) were subjected to nano-LC-MS/MS and analyzed on a Q Exactive mass spectrometer and quantified using label-free quantitative algorithm. Gene Ontology (GO) and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) were carried out for functional annotation and identification of protein interaction networks. 3-MeSO2-DDE regulated Leydig cell steroidogenesis differentially depending on cell culture condition. Whereas its effect on testosterone secretion at basal condition was stimulatory, the effect on LH-stimulated cells was inhibitory. From triplicate experiments, a total of 7540 proteins were identified in which the abundance of 87 proteins in unstimulated Leydig cells and 146 proteins in LH-stimulated Leydig cells were found to be significantly regulated in response to 3-MeSO2-DDE exposure. These proteins not only are the first reported in relation to 3-MeSO2-DDE exposure, but also display small number of proteins shared between culture conditions, suggesting the action of 3-MeSO2-DDE on several targeted pathways, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative phosphorylation, EIF2-signaling, and glutathion-mediated detoxification. Further identification and characterization of these proteins and pathways may build our understanding to the molecular basis of 3-MeSO2-DDE induced endocrine disruption in Leydig cells.

Project description:A mouse leydig tumour cell line (mLTC-1) was grown in culture and stimulated with either human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, 10 ng/ml) alone or hCG & bisphenol A (BPA, an endrocrine disrupting chemical, 10 uM) for three hours. Cells from triplicate plates were harvested, RNA extracted, labelled and hybridised to Affymetrix Mouse genome 430 2.0 arrays. Preliminary work by RT-PCR had shown that stimulation of the cell line by BPA resulted in changes in gene expression in the spermatogenesis pathway at this time point.

Project description:Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the plastic industry as the monomer of polycarbonates and epoxy resins. Heat and changes in pH conditions lead to its leakage from the plastics in which it is incorporated. This largely contributes to the widespread exposure of the general population to this environmental contaminant. The exposure levels in humans are likely below the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI: 50 µg/kg/day) and well below the No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL: 5000 µg/kg/day) defined from reprotoxicity studies. However, several studies suggest that BPA could induce deleterious effects specifically at low, environmentally relevant, doses. BPA has been described as an endocrine disruptor with estrogenic activity. Recently, it has been shown that BPA exposure has an impact on metabolic functions including stimulation of adipogenesis and of insulin production by the pancreas. Here, we investigated the effects of oral exposure to low (TDI) and high (NOAEL) doses of BPA on mouse liver transcriptome.

Project description:With the increasing common of reduced serum testosterone (T), or hypogonadism, in the male population, there is an urgent require for the approach of obtaining T-producing cells, which could be used to treat hypogonadism based on transplantation and reestablishment of T-producing cell lineage in the body. In human, T is mainly synthesized by the Leydig cells (LCs) that have been proposed to derive from mesenchymal cells of mesonephric origin. Although mesenchymal cells have been successfully induced into LCs, the limited source and possible trauma to donors hinders their wide applications in clinic therapies. Alternatively, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) that are highly expandable in cell culture and have the potential to differentiate into all somatic cell types become the emerging source of autologous cell therapies. In this study, we have successfully induced the differentiation of hiPSCs through mesoderm and early mesenchymal progenitors (EMPs) into either human Leydig cell-like cells (hLLCs) or human adrenal cell-like cells (hALCs) under different chemically defined culture systems. Factors that are critical for the normal development of LCs were added to both culture systems. hLLCs are expressed all steroidogenic genes and proteins that are important for T biosynthesis and are specific for LCs, synthesize T rather than cortisol (F), secret steroid hormones in response to db-cAMP and 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol, and display ultrastructural features resembling LCs. Differentially, hALCs synthesize F rather than T, and secret much less of steroid hormones than hLLCs. Thereafter, we performed microarray analyses to profile the whole gene expression pattern of hiPSCs and thier derivatives hLLCs and hALCs.

Liver gene expression was measured from CD-1 mice (6 mice/group) exposed for 28 days to bisphenol A at doses 0 (controls), 50 (TDI or low dose) or 5000 µg/kg/day (NOAEL or high dose) via food contamination.

Project description:Bisphenol A (BPA) is primarily used to make polycarbonate plastic, with a global capacity of production exceeding 8 million tons per year. Biomonitoring studies with human urine, blood and tissue samples suggest that humans are subjected to widespread and continuous exposure to BPA. It has been well established that early life exposure to BPA predisposes the prostate gland to carcinogenesis later in life. However, it remains unknown if BPA exposure during adulthood induces benign or neoplastic pathology in the prostate. The main objective of the present study is to determine the effects of BPA exposures during adulthood on the prostate and to characterize the global transcriptional reprogramming underlying endocrine disruption by BPA. We elevated circulating levels of free BPA in Noble rats to the human-relevant internal dose range with BPA-filled Silastic implants while maintaining the physiological levels of testosterone (T) with T-filled implants. Cotreatment with T and 17β-estradiol (E2) was our reference regimen which induced preneoplastic and cancereous lesions. The T + low/high dose of BPA induced prostatic hyperplasia, low-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (LGPIN) and intraepithelial infiltration of T-lymphocytes specifically in the lateral prostate (LP). Using microarray analysis, we delineated specific impacts of low and high dose of BPA (with the T-support) on the gene expression program in LPs. Hierarchical clustering revealed that the endocrine disrupting effects of T + low dose of BPA showed partial resemblance to those of T + high dose of BPA and T+E2. In contrast, the influence of T+ high dose of BPA on the LP transcriptome was completely different from those of T + E2. Further, IPA analysis of specific T+ low or high BPA gene signature identified a transcription factor, HNF4α, as a regulatory hub affecting a number of differentially expressed genes by BPA exposures. These findings suggest that the adult rat prostate is still venerable to the endocrine disrupting effects of BPA. Perhaps chronic exposure to low dose of BPA provides a niche comprising heightened cell proliferation, inflammatory responses and disrupted gene expression program, which favor the onset and development of prostatic benign or malignant diseases in men. Rat lateral prostates were collected from untreated control and treated groups [Testosterone (T) + Estradiol (E2), T + low dose Bisphenol A (low BPA) and T + high BPA] for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify transcriptional signature of BPA exposures in the lateral prostate gland.

Project description:Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor (ED), has raised concerns for both human and ecosystem health. Epigenetic factors, including microRNAs, are key regulators of gene expression during cancer. The effect of BPA exposure on the zebrafish epigenome remains poorly characterized. Zebrafish represents an excellent model to study cancer as the organism develops disease that resembles human cancer. Using zebrafish as systems toxicology model, we hypothesized that chronic BPA-exposure impacts the miRNome in adult zebrafish and establishes an epigenome more susceptible to cancer development. After a 3 week exposure to 100 nM BPA, RNA from the liver was extracted to perform high throughput mRNA and miRNA sequencing. Differential expression (DE) analyses comparing BPA-exposed to control specimens were performed using established bioinformatics pipelines. In the BPA-exposed liver, 6,188 mRNAs and 15 miRNAs were differently expressed (q ≤ 0.1). By analyzing human orthologs of the DE zebrafish genes, signatures associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction and cell cycle were uncovered. Chronic exposure to BPA has a significant impact on the liver miRNome in adult zebrafish and has the potential to cause adverse outcomes including cancer.
