1 week & 4 week styrene inhalation exposure at 2 concentrations (40ppm & 120ppm) in three strains of C57BL/6 mice (lung): wild-type (WT), CYP2F2 knockout (KO), and CYP2F1 humanized (TG) mice

ABSTRACT: This data set is #1 of three generated as part of a coordinated series of experiments to examine potential modes of action of Styrene inhalation on lung and liver in male C57Bl/6 mice. Styrene causes increased lung tumors in mice, but not in rats. Mouse lung tumors were found mostly at the conclusion of a life-time (104 weeks for males) exposure study and most were benign. Styrene is largely negative in genotoxicity assays. Styrene metabolism by CYP2F2 produced a different metabolite pattern in mouse lung than in liver or in rats or humans. The purpose of this study was to use genomic analyses to further investigate potential modes of action (MoA) of styrene in mice, using a total of three genomic data sets. Dataset #1 exposed C57BL/6 wild-type (WT), CYP2F2 knockout (-/-; KO) and CYP2F21 humanized (2F2-KO + 2F1,2A13,2B6-transgenic, TG) male mice to 0, 40 or 120 ppm styrene at 6 hr/day 5 days/wk for 1 or 4 wk. Lungs were analyzed by whole genome microarrays for each strain at each dose. The second part of the study examined a broader dose response and short term exposure. Male wild type C57Bl/6 mice were exposed to 6 inhalation concentrations of styrene: 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 120 ppm for a single 6 hour exposure. This was intended to gain dose-response data at low-observed-adverse-effect-levels (LOAELs) of styrene (≥ 20 ppm) and at no-observed-adverse-effect-levels (NOAELs) of styrene (< 20 ppm). Dataset #2 examined lung gene expression, while dataset #3 examined liver gene expression data from the same animals.

Project description:Silicosis, a fibrotic granulomatous lung disease, may occur through accidental high-dose or occupational inhalation of silica, leading to acute/accelerated and chronic silicosis, respectively. While chronic silicosis has a long asymptomatic latency, lung inflammation and apoptosis are hallmarks of acute silicosis. In animal models, histiocytic granulomas develop within days after high-dose intratracheal silica instillation. However, following chronic inhalation of occupationally relevant doses of silica, discrete granulomas resembling human silicosis arise months after the final exposure without significant lung inflammation/apoptosis. To identify molecular events associated with chronic silicosis, lung RNAs from controls or chronically silica-exposed rats were analyzed by Affymetrix at 28 wk after silica exposures. Results suggested a significant upregulation of 144 genes and downregulation of seven genes. The upregulated genes included complement cascade, chemokines/chemokine receptors, G-protein signaling components, metalloproteases, and genes associated with oxidative stress. To examine the kinetics of gene expression relevant to silicosis, qPCR, ELISA, Luminex-bead assays, Western blotting, and/or zymography were performed on lung tissues from 4 d, 28 wk, and intermediate times after chronic silica exposure and compared with 14 d acute silicosis samples. Results indicated that genes regulating fibrosis (secreted phosphoprotein-1, CCL2, and CCL7), redox enzymes (superoxide dismutase-2 and arginase-1), and the enzymatic activities of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 were upregulated in acute and chronic silicosis; however, proinflammatory cytokines were strongly upregulated only in acute silicosis. Thus, inflammatory cytokines are associated with acute but not chronic silicosis; however, genes regulating fibrosis, oxidative stress, and metalloproteases may contribute to both acute and chronic silicosis. 3 rats were chronically exposed to silica by inhalation. Briefly, exposure chambers were maintained with an airflow rate of ~15 cfm and temperature range of 22‚Äì26¬?C. Animals were exposed to 6.2 mg/m3 aerosolized silica (Min-U-Sil 5; U.S. Silica, Mill Creek, OK) with an average particle size of 1.75 ¬± 0.05 mm (mass median aerodynamic diameter) 6 h/d, 5 d/wk (Monday‚ÄìFriday) for 6 wk. 3 control animals received filtered air under similar inhalation conditions.
