Project description:In this study, we used zebrafish embryos as a model system to investigate the toxic effects of MC-RR on early development and try to elucidate the underlying developmental toxicological mechanisms in a global view at posttranscriptional level. Altered expression pattern of miRNAs in embryos treated with MC-RR was detected by miRNA microarray. We examined microRNA expression profiling in paired MC-RR treated and control embroys of zebrafish. There are 4 biological replicates in MC-RR treated group and control group, respectively.

Project description:Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic hepatotoxins produced worldwide by various species of cyanobacteria. Their structure includes two variable amino acids (AAs) and most of the studies focused on the most toxic variant: the microcystin LR (MC-LR). However, more than 80 MC variants have been described to date. Despite ingestion being the major pathway of human exposure, few in vivo studies have demonstrated macroscopic effects on the gastro-intestinal tract, but no data are available on the affected pathways by several variants on intestinal cells. Here, using a non-selective method, we investigated for the first time the effect of MC-RR and MC-LR on the human intestinal cell line Caco-2 and compared their response at the pangenomic scale. The cells were incubated for 4 hrs or 24 hrs with the same range of sub-lethal concentrations of MC-RR or MC-LR. Low effects were observed for both variants after a short-term exposure. On the contrary, dose-dependent modulations of the genes transcription levels were noticed with MC-RR and MC-LR after 24 hrs. Furthermore, the genomic profiles induced by both variants were similar suggesting a common toxicity mechanism but with higher modulation following MC-LR than MC-RR exposure. However, the functional annotation revealed major differences between the variants effects. Indeed, the well-known MC-LR affected mainly two pathways, the oxidative stress response and the cell cycle regulation, which did not elicit significant alteration following MC-RR exposure. This work is the first comparative description of the MC-LR and MC-RR effects on a human intestinal cell model. It allowed us to suggest differences in the mechanism of toxicity for MC-RR and MC-LR. These results illustrate that the toxicity of MC variants remains a key point for risk assessment.

Differentiated Caco-2 cells were exposed to microcystins in free FCS culture medium for either 4 or 24 hours. Sub-lethal concentrations of 10, 50 and 100 M-BM-5M of MC-LR or MC-RR were chosen for 4 hours, while 1, 5 and 10 M-BM-5M were selected for 24 hours. For each condition (including the controls), the solvent concentration was fixed to 2% EtOH for MC-LR and 1.5% of 80% MeOH for MC-RR. Four to five culture replicates per condition were done.

Project description:Microcystins (MC) are toxins found in harmful algal blooms. The canonical MC mode of action (MOA) is the inhibition of protein phosphatases, but complete characterization of its toxicity pathway has yet to be identified. The existence of 100s of MC structural congeners further complicates risk estimates. This work employed RNA-seq to provide an unbiased and comprehensive characterization of cellular targets and impacted cellular processes of hepatocytes exposed to either MC-LR or MC-RR congeners. The human hepatocyte cell line, HepaRG, was treated with three concentrations of MC-LR or RR (1000, 100, 10 g/L) for two hours. Significant reduction in cell survival was observed in the LR1000 and LR100 treatments. RNA-seq was performed on the control groups and all concentrations of MC-LR and -RR and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Genes and pathways associated with oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the unfolded protein response (UPR) were highly enriched by both congeners. Enrichment of inflammatory pathways was also evident. In the cytotoxic LR1000 treatment, apoptotic pathways and related genes were identified, suggesting cells pursue both inflammation and apoptosis simultaneously and that cellular fate may be determined by the activation kinetics of jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). We present a model of MC toxicity where MCs cause the production of ROS and oxidative stress leading to ER stress and activation of the UPR. Under non-cytotoxic conditions this leads to an inflammatory and pro-survival cellular response mediated through up-regulation and activation of NF- and its inhibition of JNK. With acute MC exposure, increased ER stress results in the cellular program switching to favor apoptosis by inhibiting NF- resulting in sustained JNK activation and through the activation of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) via the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) arm of the UPR

Project description:There is still a big debate about the correlation between melanosis coli (MC) and carcinoma. We used HTA2.0 to investigate the expression changes of lncRNAs and mRNAs in human colonic mucosa with or without MC and try to investigate MC from gene aspect, eventually to demonstrate whether there’s a certain correlation between MC and carcinoma. GeneChip® Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 (HTA 2.0) microarrays were adopted. The expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNA were tested in five colon tissue biopsy specimen of MC patients and five demographically-matched controls.

This study recruited a total of five MC patients and five coupled matched controls. All specimens were obtained from colonoscopy. The fresh specimens of colon tissues form MC patients and control patients were washed with RNAase free water and put into RNAlater (Qiagen) immediately and frozen in -80°C. Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG Pathway analyses of aberrantly expressed mRNAs were performed to identify the related biological functions and pathologic pathways.

Project description:To explore the molecular mechanisms involved in the toxicity in the livers exposed to MC-LR at the environmental level, the hepatic transcriptome was performed. A total of 210 genes were differentially expressed (P<0.05, |fold change|≥2) in response to MC-LR exposure; among them, 143 genes were significantly upregulated, and 67 genes were downregulated. Pathway enrichment analysis identified the top biological functions associated with the genes differentially expressed in response to MC-LR exposure, which were circadian regulation of gene expression, negative regulation of glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathway, the epoxygenase P450 pathway, regulation of insulin secretion, lipid metabolic process, and cell cycle pathway.

Project description:Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy in women after breast, lung and colorectal cancer. Despite numerous scientific advances, the incidence and mortality rate of endometrial cancer is on the rise. Considerable research effort has therefore been placed on understanding the pathogenesis of this disease to combat this growing issue. There is now emerging evidence to suggest a putative role for dysregulation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and in particular the (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR), in the ontogenesis of endometrial cancer. Support for this notion arises from previous literature implicating (P)RR in cancer pathophysiology (e.g., breast cancer and pancreatic carcinoma) by virtue of its role in proliferation, angiogenesis, fibrosis, migration and invasion. In view of these data, we aimed to investigate the functional role of (P)RR in human endometrial cancer progression and development. To this end, we employed an siRNA-mediated knock down approach to abrogate (P)RR expression in the immortalized endometrial epithelial cell lines; Ishikawa, AN3CA and HEC-1A to explore the role of (P)RR in cellular proliferation and cellular viability. To further extend these analyses we also carried out a sophisticated proteomic screen, that investigated the potential pathways via which (P)RR is acting in endometrial cancer physiology. These data confirmed that (P)RR is critical for endometrial cell cancer development, contributing to both its proliferative capacity and in the maintenance cell viability. This is likely mediated through proteins such as MGA, SLC4A7, SLC7A11 or DHRS2, which were reduced following (P)RR knockdown. These putative protein interactions/pathways, which rely on the presence of (P)RR, are likely to contribute to endometrial cancer progression and could therefore, represent several novel therapeutic targets in the treatment of this cancer. Finally we contend that (P)RR, in its soluble form (s(P)RR) in blood, may have substantial potential as a novel biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis prediction going forward.
