Project description:In order to investigate the underlying mechanisms of PCB 153 mediated toxicity to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), we analyzed the liver proteome of fish exposed to various doses of PCB 153 (0, 0.5, 2 and 8mg/kg body weight) for two weeks and examined the effects on expression of liver proteins using quantitative proteomics. Label-free mass spectrometry enabled quantification of 1272 proteins, and 78 were differentially regulated between PCB 153 treated samples and controls. Two proteins downregulated due to PCB 153 treatment, Glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) and sulfotransferase family protein 1 (ST2B1), were verified using selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Supported by bioinformatics analyses, we concluded that PCB 153 perturbs lipid metabolism in the Atlantic cod liver and that increased levels of lipogenic enzymes indicate increased synthesis of fatty acids and triglycerides.

Project description:Exposure to Polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) is known to cause serious health effects in human but the gene expression profiles leading to development of differnet diseases and disorders are not fully understood. The knowledge of global gene expression will help us to devlop early disease or disorder biomarkers for PCB induced health effects. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile underlying the effects of PCB 153 exposure to human PBMC leading to identification of distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes and cellular processes.

Project description:Methylmercury (MeHg) is a highly toxic environmental pollutant. To understand the mechanisms of toxicity of the compound and possibly to discover new biomarkers for environmental monitoring, we have conducted toxicogenomics studies. We designed 126k-cod-oligonucleotide arrays and performed genome-wide gene expression assays in liver samples from juvenile cod treated with MeHg (0.5 and 2 mg/kg body weight). Microarray analysis showed MeHg differentially regulated hundreds of genes. Gene Ontology and pathway analyses of differentially regulated genes revealed that MeHg modulated mainly genes involved in immune response, oxidative stress response, tissue remodelling, and energy pathways such as lipid, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. The results provide insights into the mechanisms of toxicity of MeHg and provide candidate biomarkers of exposure to MeHg for further evaluation.

We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile underlying the effects of PCB 153 exposure to human PBMC leading to identification of distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes and cellular processes. PBMC cells are grown for 48 hours in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1X Pennicilllin-Streptromycin with 1.25 mircogram/ml PHA-M and 0.15% (v/v)pokeweed mitogen and 50 microgram Beta-mercaptoethanol.Trizol extraction of total RNA was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Biotinylated cRNA were prepared according to the standard Affymetrix protocol from 6 microgram of total RNA (Expression Analysis Technical Manual, 2001, Affymetrix). Following fragmentation, 10 microgram of cRNA were hybridized for 16 hr at 45C on GeneChip Human Genome Array (HGU133 plus 2.0). GeneChips were washed and stained in the Affymetrix Fluidics Station 450 and scanned using the Affymetrix GeneArray Scanner 3000. The data were analyzed with Microarray Suite version 5.0 (MAS 5.0) using Affymetrix default analysis settings and global scaling as normalization method. The trimmed mean target intensity of each array was arbitrarily set to 150.

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptional response of the actinomycete Rhodococcus aetherivorans I24 to biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This species has not been extensively exposed to PCBs, as it was first isolated from a toluene contaminated aquifer, rather than a site contaminated with polychlorinated hydrocarbons. Using a microarray targeting 3524 genes, we assessed gene expression in minimal medium supplemented with various substrates (e.g. PCBs) and in both PCB-contaminated and non-contaminated sediment slurries. Relative to the reference condition (minimal medium supplemented with glucose), 408 genes were up-regulated in the various treatments. In medium and in sediment, PCBs elicited the up-regulation of a common set of 100 genes, including chaperones (groEL), a superoxide dismutase (sodA), alkyl hydroperoxide reductase protein C (ahpC), and a catalase/peroxidase (katG). Analysis of the R. aetherivorans I24 genome sequence identified orthologs of many of the genes in the canonical biphenyl pathway, but very few of these genes were up-regulated in response to PCBs or biphenyl. This study is one of the first which utilizes microarrays to assess the transcriptional response of a soil bacterium to a pollutant under conditions which more closely resemble the natural environment. Our results indicate that the transcriptional response of R. aetherivorans I24 to PCBs, in both medium and sediment, is primarily directed towards reducing oxidative stress, rather than catabolism. In addition, the identification of numerous genes expressed in contaminated soil specifically may have implications for the development of biosensors. Finally, comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses suggest that the mere presence of orthologs of the required enzymes may not be sufficient to confer a vigorous biphenyl/PCB metabolism. RNA was isolated from cells incubated in the following: sediment from a PCB-contaminated industrial site, uncontaminated sediment from a comparable site, and defined media supplemented with glucose (3 g/L), glucose and biphenyl (3 g/L, 4.5 μM), or glucose and PCBs (3 g/L, 5 mg/L Aroclor 1254). In all cases, there were 3 biological replicates and 2 technical replicates (repeat hybridizations). A total of 3524 genes are represented on the arrays; of these, 41 and 176 are found on the plasmids pRA2 and pRA3, respectively. On average, there are 3 distinct 24nt probes per gene.

Project description:(Abstract) Toxicogenomics has great potential for enhancing our understanding of environmental chemical toxicity, hopefully leading to better-informed human health risk assessments. This study employed toxicogenomic technology to reveal species differences in response to two prototypical aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonists, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener PCB 126. Dose responses of primary cultures of rat and human hepatocytes were determined using species-specific microarrays sharing over 4,000 gene orthologs. Forty-seven human and 79 rat genes satisfied dose response criteria for both chemicals and were subjected to further analysis including the calculation of EC50 and the relative potency (REP) of PCB 126 for each gene. Only 5 responsive orthologous genes were shared between the two species, yet the geometric mean of the REPs for all rat and human modeled responsive genes were 0.06 (95% Confidence Interval (CI); 0.03-0.1) and 0.002 (95% CI; 0.001-0.005), respectively, suggesting broad species differences in the initial events that follow AHR activation but precede toxicity. This indicates that there are species differences in both the specific genes that responded and the agonist potency and relative potency for those genes. This observed insensitivity of human cells to PCB 126 is consistent with more traditional measurements of AHR activation (i.e., CYP1A1 enzyme activity) and suggests that the species difference in PCB 126 sensitivity is likely due to certain aspects of AHR function. That a species divergence also exists in this expanded AHR-regulated gene repertoire is a novel finding and should help when extrapolating animal data to humans. Experiment Overall Design: Primary hepatocyte cultures, separated into 2 pools of 3 female Sprague Dawley rats each, were treated with vehicle (0.5% DMSO), TCDD (-14 to -6.5 log10 M) , or PCB 126 (-12 to -5 log10 M) for 48h. Total RNA was extracted and screened with RG-U34A microarrays for dose response.

Project description:We provide here the alterations in gene expression profiles of HepaRG cells, a validated model for cellular steatosis, exposed to three concentration of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 126, one of the most potent chemical inducing NAFLD. Additionnally, three concentration of the pesticide active ingredient glyphosate were tested. This ultimately suggested sensitive biomarkers of exposure. A gene ontology analysis showed hallmarks of an activation of the AhR receptor by dioxin-like compounds. Our study provides grounds for the development of molecular signatures of fatty liver diseases to rapidly assess toxic effects of chemicals in the HepaRG cell line.
