Project description:Juvenile zebrafish were fed Biodiet starter (4% body weight per day) for 42 d with TCDD added at 0 ppb, 0.1 ppb, 1 ppb, 10 ppb or 100 ppb. Fish were collected, sexed, weighed and length measured at 0, 7, 14, 28 or 42 d for TCDD assessment, histopathologic and microarray analysis. Microarray experiments were conducted using 0 and 100 ppb-TCDD treated male and female sexed zebrafish at 7, 14, 28 and 42 d. NimbleGen Gene Expression 12X135K zebrafish microarrays and One-Color DNA labeling Kit (NimbleGen, WI) were used for genome-wide expression analysis of TCDD-treated zebrafish. TCDD accumulated in a dose- and time-dependent manner and 100 ppb TCDD caused TCDD accumulation in female (15.49 ppb) and male (18.04 ppb) fish at 28 d post exposure. TCDD caused multiple lesions in liver, kidney, intestine and ovary of zebrafish and functional dysregulation such as depletion of glycogen in liver, retrobulbar edema, degeneration of neurosensory epithelium, underdevelopment of intestine, and diminution in the fraction of ovarian follicles containing vitellogenic oocytes. At 42d, no mature female fish were observed.

Project description:We investigated the effects of chronic TCDD exposure on global gene expression in developing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Juvenile rainbow trout(0.18M-BM-10.01g) were fed Biodiet starter with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100ppb, and ten fish were sampled and pooled from 10 ppb group at 7, 14, 28 and 42 days for microarray experiments after initiation of the exposure. Gene expression analysis was performed using the Genomics Research on All Salmonids Project (cGRASP) 16K cDNA microarrays. TCDD-responsive whole body transcripts identified in the microarray experiments have putative functions involved in various biological processes including response to stimulus, cell wall organization or biogenesis, growth and cell proliferation. In addition, TCDD caused leisons in multiple organ systems in juvenile rainbow, including skin, oropharynx, liver, gas bladder, intestine, pancreas, nose and kidney. Juvenile rainbow trout (0.18M-BM-10.01g) were fed Biodiet starter (Bio-Oregon) (4% body weight per day) with TCDD added at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 ppb. Fish were sampled and from 10 ppb group at 7, 14, 28 and 42 days for microarray experiments after initiation of the exposure. Total RNA from individual fish was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen).Total RNA of ten control trout were pooled as a common reference which were labeled with Cy3. Total RNA of ten fish of each treatment were labeled wih Cy5. cDNA were synthesized using SuperScript II Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen) (1 M-NM-<g pooled RNA per synthesis). Targets were labeled using the Array 900 Expression Array Detection kit (Genisphere) following the manufacture protocol. 1M-BM-5g RNA of pooled ten control fish were labled with Cy3 and 1M-BM-5g RNA of pooled ten TCDD-treated fish were labled with Cy5, then day-swap was performed. Two arrays were run for each comparison. Microarrays were scanned at 10 M-BM-5m resolution using a ScanArray Express (PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc, Boston, MA). The photomultiplier tube settings (PMT) for Cy3 and Cy5 were 70 and 65-66, respectively. TIFF images of arrays were generated with ScanArray Express software (PerkinElmer). Fluorescence intensity data for Cy3 and Cy5 channels were extracted from TIFF images using ImaGene 7.5 software (BioDiscovery Inc., El Segundo, CA). Background correction, data transformation (setting background corrected values < 0.01 to 0.01), Lowess normalization, and analysis (e.g. fold-change calculations) were performed using GeneSpring GX 7.3 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA)

Project description:Five genome-wide microarrays were used to indentify gene expression in exposure to Tributyltin, Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and 2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. The three environmental chemicals are persistent in environment and cause continuous toxical effects on human and aquatic life. Tetrahymena thermophila has the potential as a toxical model. The genome-wide microarray in Tetrahymena thermophila exposed to these toxicants was analyzed. First, genes differentially expressed under the treatment of each toxicant were identified and then their functions were categorized using GO enrichment analysis. The results may suggest that Tetrahymena thermophila is able to reflect different mechanism of different toxic-type toxicants which are similar to those in multicellular organisms. Regarding the complexity of TCDD effects, context likelihood of relatedness method (CLR) was applied to construct a TCDD-relevant network. General functions of the network are related to the epigenetic mechanism of TCDD. Based on the network analysis, a model of TCDD effect on T. thermophila was infered. Thus, Tetrahymena has the potential to be a good unicellular eukaryotic model for toxic mechanism research at genome level. Tetrahymena thermophila CU428 cells were cultured using 1XSPP, 30 degree, 100 rpm shaking, until 300,000 cells/ml. Cells at 300,000 cells/ml was incubated in SPP medium were treated. Two microarrays were used 4.02μl DMSO per ml SPP as the solvent and control; One microarray for 5 ppb TBT treatment 24 hours; One microarray for 1 ppb TCDD treatment 24 hours; One microarray for 4ppm DDT treatment for 24 hours.

Project description:Although environmental trace metals, such as copper (Cu), can disrupt normal olfactory function in fish, the underlying molecular mechanisms of metal-induced olfactory injury have not been elucidated. Current research has suggested the involvement of epigenetic modifications. To address this hypothesis, we analyzed microRNA (miRNA) profiles in the olfactory tissues of Cu-exposed zebrafish. Our data revealed 2, 10, and 28 differentially expressed miRNAs in a dose response pattern to three increasing Cu concentrations. Numerous deregulated miRNAs were involved in neurogenesis (let-7, miR-7a, miR-128 and miR-138), indicating a role for Cu-mediated toxicity via interference with olfactory neurogenesis. Putative gene targets of deregulated miRNAs were identified when interrogating our previously published microarray database, including those involved in olfactory cell growth and proliferation, cell death, and cell morphology. Moreover, several miRNAs (miR-203a, miR-199*, miR-16a, miR-16c, and miR-25) were inversely correlated with the depression of key genes within olfactory signal transduction pathways, which likely contributed to the inhibition of olfactory function. Our findings provide novel insight into the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of metal-induced neurotoxicity of fish olfactory system, and identify novel miRNA biomarkers of metal exposures. 12 one-year-old adult AB strain zebrafish were exposed to Cu concentrations of 0, 6.3, 16 and 40 ppb Cu.

Project description:2,3,7,8-TCDD (TCDD) is a reproductive toxicant and endocrine disruptor in nearly all vertebrates, yet the mechanisms by which TCDD induces these reproductive alterations have not been fully characterized. Fish are among the most sensitive vertebrates to the toxic effects of TCDD, and even subtle physiologic changes induced by TCDD can impair reproduction. Previously, we have shown that chronic, sub-lethal exposure to TCDD decreased reproductive capacity, reduced serum estradiol and vitellogenin concentrations, and altered follicular development. Here we investigate the transcriptional changes in zebrafish ovary as they relate to observed attenuated estradiol concentrations and ovarian development. We used quantitative RT-PCR to assess TCDDâs effects on the expression of several candidate genes important in the regulation of follicular development and steroidogenesis. Additionally, global changes in gene expression in the ovary caused by TCDD exposure were identified using Affymetrix Gene Chip Analysis. Our data suggest that TCDD may inhibit follicle maturation via attenuated gonadotropin responsiveness and/or depressed estradiol biosynthesis. Additionally, genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, regulation of transcription, and immune function were dysregulated by at least 2-fold suggesting that TCDD alters various integrated networks of signaling pathways. Approximately 89% of dysregulated transcripts contain putative AHR response elements (AHRE) within 5kb upstream of the predicted transcriptional start site suggesting ovarian toxicity is AHRE driven. Furthermore, approximately 49% of dysregulated transcripts contain putative estrogen response elements (ERE) suggesting that dysregulation of estrogen-responsive genes may also contribute to TCDD-induced attenuated follicular development. Patterns in gene expression were correlated with putative EREs and AHREs, and suggest that impacts on the regulation of transcription may play a large role in TCDDâs ovarian toxicity. Taken together, these data illustrate the complexity of TCDDâs ovarian toxicity. Experiment Overall Design: A total of eight samples were analyzed including three TCDD doses (10, 40, 100 ppb, dietary exposure) and vehicle control samples. cRNA targets were synthesized from pooled total RNA isolated from five ovaries from different individuals in each treatment group. Each individual contributed equally to a given pool. Two technical replicates were run for each treatment group. Several genes of interest arising from this microarray study were validated by Quantitative RT-PCR with individual ovary samples to assess biological variability.

Project description:The herbicide atrazine, a suspected endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), frequently contaminates potable water supplies. Studies suggest alterations in the neuroendocrine system along the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis; however, most studies address either developmental, pubertal, or adulthood exposures, with few investigations regarding a developmental origins hypothesis. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to 0, 0.3, 3, or 30 parts per billion (ppb) atrazine through embryogenesis and then allowed to mature with no additional chemical exposure. Reproductive function, histopathology, hormone levels, offspring morphology, and the ovarian transcriptome were assessed. Embryonic atrazine exposure resulted in a significant increase in progesterone levels in the 3 and 30 ppb groups. A significant decrease in spawning and a significant increase in follicular atresia in the 30 ppb group were observed. In offspring, a decrease in the head length to body ratio in the 30 ppb group, along with a significant increase in head width to body ratio in the 0.3 and 3 ppb groups occurred. Transcriptomic alterations involved genes associated with endocrine system development and function, tissue development, and behavior. This study provides evidence to support atrazine as an EDC causing reproductive dysfunction and molecular alterations in adults exposed only during embryogenesis and morphological alterations in their offspring. We treated zebrafish embryos from approximately 1 hour post fertilization through 72 hours post fertilization (embryogenesis) to 0, 0.3, 3, or 30 parts per billion atrazine. Following the 72 hour exposure period, larvae were rinsed and allowed to mature under normal conditions until adulthood (5-6 months post fertilization). At this time, zebrafish were bred weekly for three weeks in order to initiate breeding cycles. Following this peroid, gonadal tissue was dissected and processed for transcriptomic analysis.

Project description:Exposure to environmental contaminants can disrupt normal development of the early vertebrate skeleton. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) impairs craniofacial skeletal development across many vertebrate species and its effects are especially prominent in early life stages of fish. TCDD activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a transcription factor that mediates most if not all TCDD responses. We investigated the transcriptional response in the developing zebrafish jaw following TCDD exposure using DNA microarrays. Zebrafish larvae were exposed to TCDD at 96 h postfertilization (hpf) and jaw cartilage tissue was harvested for microarray analysis at 1, 2, 4 and 12 h postexposure (hpe). Numerous chondrogenic transcripts were misregulated by TCDD in the jaw. Comparison of transcripts altered by TCDD in jaw with transcripts altered in embryonic heart showed that the transcriptional responses in the jaw and the heart were strikingly different. Sox9b, a critical chondrogenic transcription factor, was the most significantly reduced transcript in the jaw. We hypothesized that the TCDD reduction of sox9b expression plays an integral role in affecting formation of the embryonic jaw. Morpholino knock down of sox9b expression demonstrated that partial reduction of sox9b expression alone was sufficient to produce a TCDD-like jaw phenotype. Heterozygous sox9b deletion mutant embryos were sensitized to TCDD. Lastly, embryos injected with sox9b mRNA and then exposed to TCDD blocked TCDD-induced jaw toxicity in approximately 14% of sox9b-injected embryos. These results suggest that reduced sox9b expression in TCDD-exposed zebrafish embryos contributes to jaw malformation. Experiment Overall Design: Three independent replicate microarray time course experiments were performed comparing transcript levels between TCDD-exposed and control zebrafish. For each experiment, zebrafish were exposed to TCDD for 1 h starting at 96 hpf as described above. For each time point (97, 98, 100 and 108 hpf) and treatment jaw samples were pooled from 10 dissections for RNA isolation and hybridization with Affymetrix zebrafish arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Each microarray contains roughly 14,900 probes corresponding to approximately 30% of the zebrafish genome. For each array, total RNA (1 µg) was isolated from 10 jaw microdissections with the QIAGEN RNeasy Mini kit following the manufacturerâs protocol (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). The One-Cycle Target Labeling and Control Reagents kit was used to synthesize cDNA and biotinylated cRNA following the manufacturerâs protocol (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Biotin-labeled cRNA (15 µg) was fragmented and hybridized onto Affymetrix Zebrafish Genechip Arrays following the protocol in the Affymetrix Genechip Expression Analysis Technical Manual. Following hybdrization, the arrays were washed and stained with streptavidin-phycoerythrin on an Affymetrix Fluidics Station 400 using the protocol EukGE WS2v4. Arrays were scanned with an Agilent Gene Array Scanner.
