Alterations in gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans associated with exposure to several classes of toxic industrial chemicals/materials.

ABSTRACT: Effective toxicological testing of the vast number of new and existing chemicals currently in use will require efficient and cost effective methods. We evaluated the utility of a simple, low cost toxicity testing system employing the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to identify toxicologically relevant changes in gene expression. The objective of this research is to determine genomic and proteomic responses in the model nematode C. elegans to exposures to representatives of several classes of toxic industrial chemicals/materials (TICs/TIMs). A total of 3 chemicals (acrylamide, cadmium chloride, and mercuric chloride) were used in these experiments. Affymetrix GeneChip for C. elegans was used to examine genome-wide responses in the 19,000+ genes of this model organism.

Affymetrix GeneChip for C. elegans was used to examine genome-wide responses in the 19,000+ genes of this model organism. Mid-vulval L4 worms were exposed to one of four concentrations of acrylamide, cadmium or mercury for 4h and 8h. Exposures were performed in triplicate.

Caenorhabditis elegans as a Genomic Model for Toxicology

Transcription profiling of Caenorhabditis elegans treated with Dichlorvos and fenamiphos, to investigate it as a genomic model for toxicology

Project description:Effective toxicological testing of the vast number of new and existing chemicals currently in use will require efficient and cost effective methods. We evaluated the utility of a simple, low cost toxicity testing system employing the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to identify toxicologically relevant changes in gene expression. Dichlorvos and fenamiphos, which are organophosphorous pesticides that inhibit acetylcholinesterase were chosen as model toxicants to test the usefulness of the C. elegans toxicity testing system, and mefloquine, which appears to perturb neuronal Ca++ homeostasis, provided an out-group for analysis. Experiment Overall Design: Concentrations of dichlorvos, fenamiphos, or mefloquine sufficient to prevent the development of 10%, 50%, or 90% of mid-vulval L4 worms to the early gravid adult stage at 24 h after exposure were determined in range finding experiments. For definitive experiments, mid-vulval L4 worms were exposed to one of the foregoing concentrations of dichlorvos, fenamiphos, or mefloquine for 8h. Exposures were performed in triplicate.

Mercury-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Zebrafish

Project description:Full title: Mercury-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Zebrafish: In Vivo Mechanistic Insights from Transcriptome Analysis, Phenotype Anchoring and Targeted Gene Expression Validation In this study, we performed microarray-based expression profiling on liver of zebrafish exposed to 200 Âµg/L of mercuric chloride for 8-96 h, to identify global transcriptional programs and biological pathways involved in mercury-induced adaptive responses under in vivo environment. We analyzed 12 arrays for mercuric chloride treated zebrafish liver and 12 arrays for control liver.

Transcriptomic analysis in Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to organic and inorganic forms of arsenic or mercury

Project description:Arsenic and mercury are known chemical hazards. The differences in effects from organic and inorganic forms of these toxic elements is less well understood, however. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a suitable model to investigate the toxicity of environmental hazards. In this study, the transcriptomic profiles of C. elegans exposed to inorganic mercury chloride (HgCl2) and sodium (meta)arsenite (NaAsO2) were assessed alongside organic methylmercury chloride (meHgCl) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA). For this purpose, adult C. elegans were exposed for 24 h to NaAsO2 (10 µg/ml), DMA (200 µg/ml), HgCl2 (2 µg/ml), and meHgCl (0.5 µg/ml), concentrations that were equitoxic in juveniles for developmental delay. Whole genome gene expression profiles were determined by using Cellegans_UnrestrictedGE_G2519F_020186 Microarray (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). The results showed significant changes in the transcriptome of adult C. elegans exposed to NaAsO2, DMA, HgCl2, or meHgCl relative to the control group (C. elegans treated with water). A total of 927 and 1221 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in C. elegans treated with 10 µg/ml NaAsO2 or 200 µg/ml DMA, respectively. Interestingly, only 161 DEGs were in common for these two chemicals. Exposure to 2 µg/ml HgCl2 or 0.5 µg/ml meHgCl altered the expression of 670 and 485 genes, respectively, and out of these genes, 154 were commonly altered by the two treatments. Analysis of DEGs revealed that organic and inorganic forms of arsenic and mercury have different effects on the transcriptome of adult C. elegans.

mRNA microarray analysis on young adult Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to benzene, toluene, formaldehyde and a BTF mix

2011-12-31 | GSE23013 | GEO

mRNA microarray analysis on young adult Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to benzene, toluene, formaldehyde and a BTF mix

Project description:In order to evaluate the identification of genes and pathways, the global gene expression profiles were assessed in response to three chemicals (benzene (B), toluene (T), formaldehyde (F)) individually and as a BTF mix on the soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. We performed whole genome DNA microarray experiments with subsequent quantitative analysis conducted on selected genes. We used synchronized C. elegans populations exposed to B, T, F or a BTF mix, and whole genome microarrays to screen for global changes in C. elegans transcription profiles. Young adults of C. elegans were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Toxicogenomic responses of PCB52 in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Although non-coplanar PCBs are ubiquitous organic chemicals known to induce numerous biological responses and thus are toxic to man and wildlife, little is known about the toxic mode of action. Using PCB52, an ortho-substituted, 2,2’,5,5’-tetrachlorobiphenyl, it was possible to pinpoint the relationship between induced gene expression and observed toxicity in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Keywords: stress response

Transcriptional responses of Escherichia coli during recovery from inorganic or organic mercury exposure

Project description:Gene expression changes during exponential growth of E. coli MG1655 were compared by RNA-seq after sub-acute exposure to inorganic mercuric chloride (HgCl2) or to the organomercurial, phenylmercuric-acetate (PMA). Differential gene expression revealed common and distinct responses to the mercurials from initial growth stasis through subsequent recovery. Sub-acute mercurial exposures affected expression of ~45% of all genes, many reflecting distinct biochemical damage by each mercurial and the corresponding cellular resources available for recovery of normal growth.
