Project description:Chemical exposures in fish have been linked to loss of olfaction leading to an inability to detect predators and prey and decreased survival. However, the mechanisms underlying olfactory neurotoxicity are not well characterized, especially in environmental exposures which involve chemical mixtures. We used zebrafish to characterize olfactory transcriptional responses by two model olfactory inhibitors, the pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) and mixtures of CPF with the neurotoxic metal copper (Cu). 30 one-year-old adult AB strain zebrafish were exposed, in groups of three, to CPF/Cu concentrations of 0/0, 0.1/0, 0.25/0, 0.6/0, 0/0.1, 0/0.25, 0/0.6, 0.1/0.25, 0.25/0.25, 0.6/0.25.

Project description:Exposure to environmental concentrations of organophosphate pesticides in Pacific salmon can cause neurobehavioral injuries leading to loss of survival. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying olfactory impairment remain poorly understood. In the current study, we exposed juvenile salmon to three environmentally-relevant doses of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and malathion (MAL) individually and to three concentrations of binary mixtures of both compounds. Brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was significantly reduced only in the highest dosage of binary mixture group (47% inhibition). Microarray analysis on RNA from coho olfactory rosettes revealed a number of differentially expressed genes in all exposure groups. Overall, there were little overlapping of affected canonical pathways between CPF groups and MAL groups, suggesting the different biofunctions targeted by these two OP pesticides. Several metabolic and signaling pathways also represented the significant toxicological impact of OP pesticides on olfactory system, such as Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Signaling, Xenobiotic Metabolism Signaling, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Pro-Apoptosis, and Oxidative Stress.

Project description:Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphorus insecticide that despite imposed restricitions on its use by the EPA, is one of the most commonly used insecticides. Although CPF is so widely used little is known about its effect on overall gene expression in vivo. DNA microarray technology was used to determine differential gene expression resulting from chlorpyrifos (CPF) exposure. Experiment Overall Design: Male Fisher 344 rats aged 11-12 weeks were treated with varying doses of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and terminally sacced at 96 hours post-exposure in three separate experiments. An approximate 30mg section of the frontal lobe of the brain was processed for total RNA extraction.

Project description:Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphorus pesticide (OP), and one of the most widely used pesticides in the world. Metabolites of CPF and other OPs continue to be identified in the majority of human samples, even in countries such as the United States where OP use is declining (Arcury et al., 2010). The effects of repeated occupational and environmental exposures to OPs are poorly understood, although human and animal studies consistently identify neurotoxicity as the primary endpoint of concern. Thus, occupational exposures to sublethal doses of CPF are consistently associated with problems in cognitive abilities, such as learning and memory but the biological mechanism(s) underlying this association remain speculative. To identify potential mechanisms of CPF neurotoxicity, we employed a rat model that simulated documented CPF exposures in Egyptian agricultural workers. We quantified mRNA expression profiles in the CA1 region of the hippocampus of adult male Long Evans (LE) rats administered CPF at 3 or 10 mg/kg/d (s.c.) for 21 days. Despite significant inhibition of cholinesterase activity by the end of the 21 d exposure period, the CPF-exposed rats displayed minimal signs of cholinergic toxicity. Distinct hippocampal mRNA and miRNA signatures were associated with CPF exposure. Toxicogenomics-based evidence identified increased expression of neuropeptide genes in the hippocampi of CPF-exposed rats, which have been shown to activate receptor-mediated signaling pathways involved in cell survival. The analysis of small non-coding RNA profiles suggested the possibility that miR132/212-mediated homeostatic regulatory pathways may also be activated by repeated exposures to CPF. These findings identify potential molecular effects that may contribute to neurobehavioral deficits.

Project description:Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphorus (OP) insecticide that is still widely used despite statutory restrictions on home use. CPF is converted to chlorpyrifos oxon (CPO) by oxidative desulfuration in liver. Paraoxonase (PON1) polymorphisms affects the catalytic efficiency of the hydrolysis of OPs, including CPO. We used both wt (PON1+/+) and PON1 knockout (PON1-/-) mice and PON1-/- mice carrying transgenes encoding the human alloforms tgHuPON1Q192 and tgHuPON1R192 to gain insight into the mechanisms of neurotoxicity of CPO throughout postnatal development, and to ascertain the importance of the PON1Q192R polymorphism for protecting against developmental toxicity of CPO. Whole-genome microarrays were used to measure gene expression changes associated with chronic CPO exposure of developing (PND 4-21) PON1-/-, tgHuPON1Q192R transgenic and PON1+/+ mice. Expression profiles are derived from cerebella from wild-type C57/Bl6 and PON1-/- on a C57/Bl6 background and two transgenic strains (tgHuPON1Q192, tgHuPON1R192) expressing either human PON1Q192 or human PON1R192 on the PON1-/- C57/Bl6 background. The mice were subjected to chronic postnatal exposure to CPO (CPO). Transgenic, PON1-KO and WT neonatal mice either treated with control (DMSO), 0.35 mg*kg-1*day-1 CPO or 0.5 mg*kg-1*day-1 CPO daily from PND 4 to PND 21. Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is converted to chlorpyrifos oxon (CPO) by oxidative desulfuration in liver. 55 arrays, 12 experimental groups (strain + treatment), due to QC issues the replicates are as follows; PON1-KO-0.35 (5), PON1-KO-.O5 (3), PON1-KO-DMSO (4), PON1-Q129-0.35 (5), PON1-Q129-0.5 (5), PON1-Q129-DMSO (4), PON1-R129-0.35 (5), PON1-R129-0.5 (5), PON1-R129-DMSO (4), WT-0.35 (6), WT-0.5 (3), WT-DMSO (6)

Project description:Modern 21st century toxicity testing makes use of omics technologies to address critical questions in toxicology and chemical management. Of interest are questions relating to chemical mechanisms of toxicity, differences in species sensitivity, and translation of molecular effects to observable apical endpoints. Our study addressed these questions by comparing apical outcomes and multiple omics responses in early-life stage exposure studies with Japanese quail (JQ; Coturnix japonica) and double crested cormorant (DCCO; Phalacrocorax auritus), representing a model and ecological species, respectively. Specifically, we investigated the dose-dependent response of apical outcomes, transcriptomics, and metabolomics in the liver in each species exposed to chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used organophosphate pesticide. Our results revealed a clear pattern of dose-dependent disruption of gene expression and metabolic profiles in JQ but not DCCO at similar CPF exposure concentrations. The difference in effect sensitivity between species was likely due to higher metabolic transformation of CPF in the precocial JQ compared to the more altricial DCCO. The most impacted biological pathways after CPF exposure in JQ included hepatic metabolism, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption (steroid and non-steroid hormones), and metabolic disease (lipid and fatty acid metabolism). Importantly, we show consistent responses across biological scales, suggesting that significant disruption at the level of gene expression and metabolite profiles leads to observable apical responses at the organism level. Our study demonstrates the utility of evaluating effects at multiple biological levels of organization to understand how modern toxicity testing relates to outomes of regulatory relevance, while also highlighting important, yet poorly understood, species differences in sensitivity to chemical exposure.
