Project description:The well-defined battery of in vitro systems applied within chemical cancer risk assessment is often characterised by a high false-positive rate, thus repeatedly failing to correctly predict the in vivo genotoxic and carcinogenic properties of test compounds. Toxicogenomics, i.e. mRNA-profiling, has been proven successful in improving the prediction of genotoxicity in vivo and the understanding of underlying mechanisms. Recently, microRNAs have been discovered as post-transcriptional regulators of mRNAs. It is thus hypothesised that using microRNA response-patterns may further improve current prediction methods. This study aimed at predicting genotoxicity and non-genotoxic carcinogenicity in vivo, by comparing microRNA- and mRNA-based profiles, using a frequently applied in vitro liver model and exposing this to a range of well-chosen prototypical carcinogens. Primary mouse hepatocytes (PMH) were treated for 24 and 48h with 21 chemical compounds [genotoxins (GTX) vs. non-genotoxins (NGTX) and non-genotoxic carcinogens (NGTX-C) versus non-carcinogens (NC)]. MicroRNA and mRNA expression changes were analysed by means of Exiqon and Affymetrix microarray-platforms, respectively. Classification was performed by using Prediction Analysis for Microarrays (PAM). Compounds were randomly assigned to training and validation sets (repeated 10 times). Before prediction analysis, pre-selection of microRNAs and mRNAs was performed by using a leave-one-out t-test. No microRNAs could be identified that accurately predicted genotoxicity or non-genotoxic carcinogenicity in vivo. However, mRNAs could be detected which appeared reliable in predicting genotoxicity in vivo after 24h (7 genes) and 48h (2 genes) of exposure (accuracy: 90% and 93%, sensitivity: 65% and 75%, specificity: 100% and 100%). Tributylinoxide and para-Cresidine were misclassified. Also, mRNAs were identified capable of classifying NGTX-C after 24h (5 genes) as well as after 48h (3 genes) of treatment (accuracy: 78% and 88%, sensitivity: 83% and 83%, specificity: 75% and 93%). Wy-14,643, phenobarbital and ampicillin trihydrate were misclassified. We conclude that genotoxicity and non-genotoxic carcinogenicity probably cannot be accurately predicted based on microRNA profiles. Overall, transcript-based prediction analyses appeared to clearly outperform microRNA-based analyses.

Project description:Many innovative techniques and scientific improvements are available to tackle societal concerns, like public health safety and confining the risk of cancerous exposure to chemicals, but have not been thoroughly tested and implicated yet. We investigated if microRNA and mRNA transcription profiles can be implemented in a short-term carcinogen classifier assay. Our study is additionally focusing on the drawbacks of present-day carcinogen screening strategies and also aims to contribute to a more ethical approach towards animal use and welfare within risk assessment. Since current in vitro and in silico assays are still not able to mimic the in vivo situation accurately we set out to develop an alternative short-term in vivo assay. Five genotoxic, seven non-genotoxic and five non-carcinogen exposure studies were used to investigate if murine hepatic microRNA and mNA profiles after 7-day exposure are suitable tools to classify carcinogens. Classification analyses showed that a small transcript set, consisting of both microRNA and mRNA, is able to classify the genotoxic, non-genotoxic and non-carcinogens tested with 100% accuracy. The results indicate that microRNAs have the potential to be used as transcriptional classifiers and that a short-term transcriptional classifier assay in mice can be a powerful tool in carcinogenicity risk assessment.

Project description:There is no accurate and well-validated short-term test for non-genotoxic carcinogens, necessitating an expensive two year rodent bioassay before a risk assessment can begin. We have developed a short-term in vivo rat assay that predicts whether non-genotoxic chemicals are likely to induce hepatic tumors based on transcript profiles in the liver. Using a large independent test set, assay accuracy was found to be superior to existing pathological and genomic markers. Comparison of the test chemical's signature profile to reference carcinogens of known mechanism can also identify a potential mode(s) of action, allowing an early assessment of human cancer risk. Guidelines for commercial use: http://www.iconixbiosciences.com/guidelineCommUse.pdf Keywords: dose response, time course, compound treatment Treatment of male Sprague-Dawley rats with 147 non-genotoxic compounds at various doses and durations, in biological triplicate, along with vehicle-matched control animals. Liver samples were assayed for gene expression. Hepatocarcinogenic and non-carcinogenic compounds were included. A classifier for carcinogenicity was built on a training set of 25 carcinogens and 75 noncarcinogens (randomly selected compounds, maximum tolerated dose, 5 day timepoints), and tested on the remaining 47 compounds at various timepoints. A total of 990 samples were hybridized to single-channel CodeLink RU1 arrays. Biological triplicates were combined with matched control samples to calculate log ratios.

Project description:For evaluating genotoxic exposure in human populations a number of biomarkers has been successfully applied over the last 30 years to determine early biological effects due to exposure to carcinogens. Despite their success, these early biological effects markers provide limited mechanistic insight, and are unable to detect exposure to non-genotoxic carcinogens. Gene expression profiling forms a promising tool for the development of new biomarkers in blood cells to overcome these limitations. The aim of our research was to identify novel genomics-based candidate markers for genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogen exposure. Whole genome gene expression changes were investigated in human blood cells following ex vivo exposure to a range of genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogenic compounds using whole genome microarrays. Sets of genes, as well as biological pathways indicative of genotoxic exposure and of non-genotoxic carcinogenic exposure were identified. Furthermore, networks were built using the genotoxic and non-genotoxic genes sets, showing the majority of the genes to be interlinked and revealing distinctive transcription factors for both classes. The identification of these potential candidate marker genes might contribute to the development of genomic based biomakers of genotoxic exposure, and possibly even more importantly biomarkers of exposure to non-genotoxic carcinogens since presently no biomarkers are available.

Exposed samples were always labelled with Cy5, whereas the vehicle control samples were labelled with Cy3, and were competetively hybridized on 4x44K Agilent microarrays.
