Nanotoxicogenomic study of ZnO and TiO2 responses (Affymetrix)

ABSTRACT: A comprehensive in vitro assessment of two commercial metal oxide nanoparticles, TiO2 and ZnO, was performed using human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM), monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC), and T cell leukemia-derived cell line (Jurkat). TiO2 nanoparticles were found to be non-toxic whereas ZnO nanoparticles caused dose-dependent cell death. Subsequently, global gene expression profiling was performed to identify signaling pathways underlying the cytotoxicity caused by ZnO nanoparticles. Analysis was done with doses, 1ug/ml and 10ug/ml after 6 and 24 hours of exposure. Interestingly, 2703 genes were significantly differentially expressed in HMDM upon exposure to 10ug/ml ZnO nanoparticles, while in MDDCs only 12 genes were affected. In Jurkat cells, 980 genes were differentially expressed. It is noteworthy that the gene expression of metallothioneins was upregulated in all the three cell types. In addition to the common ZnO-inducible changes, a notable proportion of the genes were regulated in a cell type-specific manner. Using a panel of ZnO nanoparticles, we obtained an additional support that the cellular response to ZnO nanoparticles is caused by particle dissolution. Gene ontology analysis revealed that the top biological processes disturbed in HMDM and Jurkat cells were regulating cell death and growth. In addition, genes controlling immune system development were affected. Bioinformatics assessment showed that the top human disease category associated with ZnO-responsive genes in both HMDM and Jurkat cells was cancer. Overall, the study revealed novel genes and pathways for mediating ZnO nanoparticle-induced toxicity and demonstrated the value of assessing nanoparticle responses through combined transcriptomics and bioinformatics approach. Nanoparticles used in the study: ZnO-1 commercial (IBU-tec advanced materials AG), ZnO-2 (mandelic acid coated ZnO-1), ZnO-3 (mercaptopropyl-trimethoxysilane coated ZnO-1), ZnO-4 (methoxyl coated ZnO), ZnO-5 (diethylene glycol modified ZnO) and ZnO-9 (folic acid modified ZnO). Detailed particle production and characterization data can be found from the articles: Buerki-Thurnherr et al. 2012 Nanotoxicology and Tuomela et al.

Altogether 71 samples were analyzed: 3 biological replicates of HMDM samples (untreated control, 10ug/ml of ZnO-1, 6 and 24 hours), 3 biological replicates of MDDC samples (untreated control, 6 and 24 hours), 7 biological replicates of MDDC samples (10ug/ml of ZnO-1, 24 hours), 3 replicates of Jurkat cells (untreated control, 10ug/ml of ZnO-1, 6 and 24 hours), 3 replicates of Jurkat cells (untreated control, 10ug/ml of ZnO-2, ZnO-3, ZnO-5 or ZnO-9, or 10, 25, 50 or 100ug/ml of ZnO-4, 24 hours).

Altogether 90 samples were analyzed originating from three biological replicates of HMDM, MDDC or Jurkat cells containg untreated control cells, ZnO or TiO2 treated cells with doses 1M-BM-5g/ml and 10M-BM-5g/ml. The sample timepoints were 6 hours and 24 hours.
