Project description:We set out to test the hypothesis that formaldehyde inhalation exposure significantly alters miRNA expression profiles within the nasal epithelium of nonhuman primates. Here, cynomolgus macaques were exposed to 0, 2, and 6 ppm formaldehyde for 6 hours/day across two consecutive days. RNA was extracted from the nasal maxilloturbinate region, a direct target of formaldehyde inhalation exposure. Genome-wide miRNA expression levels were assessed using microarrays. Cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) were exposed to 0, 2 and 6 ppm formaldehyde for 6 hours/day across two consecutive days using whole body exposure chambers. RNA was extracted from the nasal maxilloturbinate region, a direct target of formaldehyde inhalation exposure. Genome-wide miRNA expression levels were assessed using microarrays.

Project description:In addition to gaining knowledge on in vivo miRNA responses to formaldehyde, we set out to relate these miRNA responses to transcriptional profiles modified by formaldehyde. Rats were exposed by inhalation to either 0 or 2 ppm formaldehyde (6 hours/day) for 28 days. Genome-wide transcriptional profiles and associated signaling pathways were assessed within the nasal respiratory mucosa and circulating mononuclear white blood cells (WBC). Male Fischer rats received nose-only inhalation exposures of 2 ppm formaldehyde for 7 days or 28 days (6 hours/day). Control (unexposed) rats were placed in nose-only exposure tubes containing room air for the same duration. After the last exposure period, animals were euthanized. RNA were assessed from sampes collected from the nasal epithelium and circulating white blood cells. Genome-wide mRNA expression profiles were evaluated using microarrays.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression, yet much remains unknown regarding miRNA changes resulting from environmental exposures and whether they influence pathway signaling across various tissues and time. To gain knowledge on these novel topics, we set out to investigate in vivo miRNA responses to inhaled formaldehyde, an important air pollutant known to disrupt miRNA expression profiles. Rats were exposed by inhalation to either 0 or 2 ppm formaldehyde (6 hours/day) for 7 days, 28 days, or 28 days followed by a 7 day recovery. Genome-wide miRNA expression profiles and associated signaling pathways were assessed within the nasal respiratory mucosa, circulating mononuclear white blood cells (WBC), and bone marrow (BM). Male Fischer rats received nose-only inhalation exposures of 2 ppm formaldehyde. Three exposure durations were investigated: (1) 2 ppm formaldehyde exposure, 6 hours/day, for 7 days (7-day group), (2) 2 ppm formaldehyde exposure, 6 hours/day, for 28 days (28-day group), and (3) 2 ppm formaldehyde exposure, 6 hours/day, for 28 days, with a 7 day recovery period following the last exposure (28-day plus recovery group). Control (unexposed) rats were placed in nose-only exposure tubes containing room air for the same duration. After the last exposure period (or the last recovery period for the 28-day plus recovery group), animals were euthanized. RNA were assessed from sampes collected from the nasal epithelium, circulating white blood cells, and bone marrow cells. Genome-wide miRNA expression profiles were evaluated using microarrays.

Project description:Neurotoxicity of formaldehyde (FA) in the human health attracted intensive studies Long-term exposure to FA leads to learning and memory decline and is responsible for the multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) or sick building syndrome (SBS). It was cleared that Formaldehyde impairs Learning and Memory in Hippocampal. however ,it is unclear if FA can disturb the olfactory bulb function miRNAs alterations were related to environmental chemical exposure. It was reported that FA inhale altered miRNAs expression in the nasal Epithelium and lung cells. In the present study, FA inhalation significatly alters miRNA expression profiles within olfactory bulb

Project description:41 volunteers (male non-smokers) were exposed to formaldehyde (FA) vapors for 4 h per day over a period of 5 working days under strictly controlled conditions. For each exposure day, different exposure concentrations were used in a random order ranging from 0 up to 0.7 ppm. At concentrations of 0.3 ppm and 0.4 ppm, four peaks of 0.6 or 0.8 ppm for 15 min each were applied. During exposure, subjects had to perform bicycle exercises (about 80 W) four times for 15 min. Blood samples, exfoliated nasal mucosa cells and nasal biopsies were taken before the first and after the last exposure. Nasal epithelial cells were additionally sampled 1, 2 and 3 weeks after the end of the exposure period. The alkaline comet assay, the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test and the cytokinesis-block micronucleus test (CBMNT) were performed with blood samples. The micronucleus test (MNT) was also performed with exfoliated nasal mucosa cells. The expression (mRNA level) of the GSH-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH, identical to alcohol dehydrogenase 5; ADH5; EC 1.2.1.46) was measured in blood samples by quantitative real-time RT-PCR with TaqMan probes. DNA microarray analyses using a full-genome human microarray were performed on blood samples and nasal biopsies of selected subgroups with the highest FA exposure at different days. None of the tests performed showed a biologically significant effect related to FA exposure. Under the experimental conditions of this study, inhalation of FA did not lead to genotoxic effects in peripheral blood cells and nasal mucosa and had no effect on the expression of the FDH gene. Inhalation of FA also did not cause biologically relevant alterations in the expression of genes in a microarray analysis with nasal biopsies and peripheral blood cells. Gene expression analysis of nasal biopsies and blood samples before and after inhalation of 0.7ppm formaldehyde (0 h, 24 h, or 72 h before sampling), and of blood cells before and after exposure to 200µM formaldehyde for 4 hours.

Project description:Exogenous formaldehyde disrupts genomic/epigenomic profiles in the rodent nose and white blood cells (WBCs) related to inflammation and immune signaling, although it does not reach the circulating blood. We aimed to compare and contrast alterations in genomic signaling in the nose and circulating blood of non-human primates exposed to formaldehyde. We used microarrays to identify transcripts that were diffentially expressed in response to formaldehyde inhalation exposure. A total of 14 primates received two consecutive days of 6-hour whole body inhalation exposures consisting of either filtered air (n = 6) or a target of 6 ppm formaldehyde (n = 8). To assess formaldehyde-induced changes in genome-wide gene expression profiles, RNA samples extracted from the nasal epithelium and circulating WBCs were labeled and hybridized to the Affymetrix Cynomolgus Macaque Gene 1.0 ST Array.

The FA group exposed to 3ppm FA for six hours for consecutive 1 and 7days in a chamber which was described previously. The standard group was kept in same condition except the FA. After expose, both group mice were deeply anesthetized with isoflurane and decapitated. The OB was rapidly dissected
