RNA-seq of Odora cells exposed to zinc gluconate

ABSTRACT: Zinc is both an essential and potentially toxic metal. It is widely believed that oral zinc supplementation can reduce the effects of the common cold; however, there is strong clinical evidence that intranasal (IN) zinc gluconate (ZG) gel treatment for this purpose causes anosmia, or the loss of the sense of smell, in humans. Using the rat olfactory neuron cell line, Odora, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which zinc exposure exerts its toxic effects on olfactory neurons. Following treatment of Odora cells with 100 and 200 μM ZG for 0-24 h, RNA-seq and in silico analyses revealed up-regulation of pathways associated with zinc metal response, oxidative stress, and ATP production. We observed that Odora cells recovered from zinc-induced oxidative stress, but ATP depletion persisted with longer exposure to ZG. ZG exposure increased levels of NLRP3 and IL-1β protein levels in a time-dependent manner, suggesting that zinc exposure may cause an inflammasome-mediated cell death, pyroptosis, in olfactory neurons.

Mycobacterial p(1)-type ATPases mediate resistance to zinc poisoning in human macrophages.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis thrives within macrophages by residing in phagosomes and preventing them from maturing and fusing with lysosomes. A parallel transcriptional survey of intracellular mycobacteria and their host macrophages revealed signatures of heavy metal poisoning. In particular, mycobacterial genes encoding heavy metal efflux P-type ATPases CtpC, CtpG, and CtpV, and host cell metallothioneins and zinc exporter ZnT1, were induced during infection. Consistent with this pattern of gene modulation, we observed a burst of free zinc inside macrophages, and intraphagosomal zinc accumulation within a few hours postinfection. Zinc exposure led to rapid CtpC induction, and ctpC deficiency caused zinc retention within the mycobacterial cytoplasm, leading to impaired intracellular growth of the bacilli. Thus, the use of P(1)-type ATPases represents a M. tuberculosis strategy to neutralize the toxic effects of zinc in macrophages. We propose that heavy metal toxicity and its counteraction might represent yet another chapter in the host-microbe arms race. [Data is also available from http://bugs.sgul.ac.uk/E-BUGS-122]

The effect of CuO nanoparticles on gene expression patterns in Daphnia magna

Project description:There is still a lot of contradiction on whether metal ions are solely responsible for the observed the toxicity of ZnO and CuO nanoparticles to aquatic species. While most tests have studied nanoparticle effects at organismal levels (e.g. mortality, reproduction), effects at suborganismal levels may clarify the role of metal ions, nanoparticles and nanoparticle aggregates. In this study, the effect of ZnO, CuO nanoparticles and zinc, copper salts was tested on the gene expression levels in Daphnia magna. D. magna was exposed during 96 hours to 10% immobilization concentrations of all chemicals, after which daphnids were sampled for a differential gene expression analysis using microarray. When comparing the nanoparticle exposed daphnids (ZnO or CuO) to the metal salt exposed daphnids (zinc or copper salt), the microarray results showed no significantly differentially expressed genes. These results indicate that the toxicity of the tested ZnO and CuO nanoparticles to D. magna caused is solely caused by toxic metal ions. 4 replicate exposures of ZnO nanoparticles, ZnCl2, Blank (for Zn); 4 replicate exposures of CuO nanoparticles, CuCl2.2H2O, Blank (for Cu); Individual reference design with swapped dyes for zinc (e.g. ZnO-REFZn; REFZn-bl) and copper exposure (e.g. CuO-REFCu; REFCu-bl); Zinc reference sample is a mixture of equal aliquots of ZnO nanoparticle, ZnCl2 and blank; Copper reference sample is a mixture of equal aliquots of CuO nanoparticle, CuCl2.2H2O and blank

Olfactory cleft proteome does not reflect olfactory performance in patients with idiopathic and postinfectious olfactory disorder: A pilot study.

Project description:The pathophysiology of post-infectious and idiopathic olfactory loss is still poorly delineated. Since proteins are key players in olfaction and technical advances including LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry give us the opportunity for detailed analysis of the nasal mucus proteome we aimed to undertake a comparative analysis of the olfactory cleft mucus proteome using mucus samples of the olfactory cleft in patients with idiopathic and postinfectious olfactory disorders versus healthy controls. The study was conceived as a pilot study and included 7 patients with idiopathic hyp- and anosmia, 7 patients with postinfectious hyp- and anosmia and 7 healthy controls. In total, 1117 different proteins were detected in at least 5 patients in at least one group. No significant different overall protein concentrations in patients compared to healthy controls (0.4614 µg/µL, SD=0.26273 vs. 0.5143 µg/µL, SD=3087; p=0.689) were found. Significant correlation regarding olfactory test results (TDI score) and protein concentrations (r=0.114, p=0.623) were either found. Results of this study did not show significant differences regarding the proteomic composition of the olfactory cleft mucus between patients suffering from postinfectious and idiopathic dysosmia versus healthy controls. Thus, central olfactory processing pathways may play a role in idiopathic and postinfectious olfactory disorders.

Adaptation of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to toxic zinc concentrations involves an uncharacterized ABC-type transporter

Project description:Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 is a well-studied metal-resistant β-proteobacterium and contains a battery of genes involved in the resistance and processing of numerous metals. Here, we performed a directed evolution experiment to obtain derivatives adapted to grow in the presence of zinc at concentrations above the minimal inhibitory concentration for the parental strain. Genetic characterization of one derivative, CH34ZnR, which was also more resistant to cadmium, revealed seven mutations, including inactivation of glpR coding for a DeoR-type transcriptional repressor by insertion of IS1088. The latter resulted in the constitutive expression of the neighboring ABC-type transporter. GlpR and the adjacent ABC transporter are highly similar to the glycerol operon regulator and ATP-driven glycerol importer of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae VF39, respectively. Deletion of glpR or the ABC transporter and complementation of CH34ZnR with the parental glpR gene further demonstrated that loss of GlpR function, with concomitant induction of the adjacent ABC transporter, is pivotal in the observed phenotype. Moreover, addition of glycerol, presumably by glycerol-mediated reduced GlpR activity, also promoted increased zinc and cadmium resistance. Thus, the ABC-type transporter is proposed to be a new adaptation route during exposure to toxic zinc concentrations.

Concentration dependent gene expression changes in Daphnia magna exposed to metals

Project description:To determine dose-dependent effects of metal exposure we performed microarray hybridizations with RNA isolated from Daphnia magna following Cu, Cd, and Zn exposures over a range of concentrations that included a tolerated concentration, a sublethal concentration, and a highly toxic concentration. The gene expression profiles revealed effects to digestion related genes, immune related genes, metallothioneins, and oxidative stress genes at the higher concentrations. We also observed that the highest concentrations produced less specific gene expression profiles than the lower concentrations suggesting a more general stress response at the higher concentrations. The lowest concentration tested, representing tolerated concentrations of the metals, caused differential expression of only a few genes and were distinct from the expression profiles of the higher concentrations. This result provides support for the presence of a No Observed Transcriptional Effect Level (NOTEL) for metal exposure in D. magna and suggests that gene expression analysis may offer a strategy for distinguishing between toxic and nontoxic concentrations of metals in the environment.

RNA-seq analysis of the effect of kanamycin and the ABC transporter AtWBC19 on Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings reveals changes in metal content

Project description:Plants are exposed to antibiotics produced by soil microorganisms but little is known about their responses at the transcriptional level. Likewise, few endogenous mechanisms of antibiotic resistance have been reported. The Arabidopsis thaliana ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter AtWBC19 (ABCG19) is known to confer kanamycin resistance, but the exact mechanism of resistance is not well understood. Here we examined the transcriptomes of control seedlings and wbc19 mutant seedlings using RNA-seq analysis. Exposure to kanamycin indicated changes in the organization of the photosynthetic apparatus, metabolic fluxes and metal uptake. Elemental analysis showed a 60% and 80% reduction of iron uptake in control and wbc19 mutant seedlings respectively, upon exposure to kanamycin. The drop in iron content was accompanied by the upregulation of the gene encoding for FERRIC REDUCTION OXIDASE 6 (FRO6) in mutant seedlings but not by the differential expression of other transport genes known to be induced by iron deficiency. In addition, wbc19 mutants displayed a distinct expression profile in the absence of kanamycin. Most notably, the expression of several zinc ion binding proteins, including ZINC TRANSPORTER 1 PRECURSOR (ZIP1), was increased, suggesting abnormal zinc uptake. Elemental analysis confirmed a 50% decrease of zinc content in wbc19 mutants. Thus, the antibiotic resistance gene WBC19 appears to also have a role in zinc uptake. Examination of transcriptome in control and wbc19 mutant seedlings with or without exposure to kanamycin.

RNAseq of human epithelial lung carcinoma cell line A549 exposed to ceria, silver or zinc ions, micron-sized particles or nanoparticles

Project description:The toxicity of silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles is hypothesised to be mediated by dissolved metal ions and cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are hypothesised to induce toxicity specifically by oxidative stress dependant on their surface redox state. To test these hypotheses, RNAseq was applied to characterise the molecular responses of cells to metal nanoparticle and metal ion exposures. The human epithelial lung carcinoma cell line A549 was exposed to different CeO2 NPs with different surface charges, micron-sized and nano-sized silver particles and silver ions, micron-sized and nano-sized zinc oxide particles and zinc ions, or control conditions, for 1 hour, 6 hours and 24 hours. Concentrations were the lower of either EC20 or 128 micrograms/mL. Transcriptional responses were characterised by RNAseq transcriptomics using an Illumina HiSeq2500 .

Genome-wide dMTF-1-binding sites in Drosophila S2 cells in the absence or presence of copper or cadmium

Project description:Cells respond to changes in environment by shifting their gene expression profile to deal with the new conditions. The cellular response to changes in metal homeostasis is an important example of this. Transition metals such as iron, zinc, and copper are essential micronutrients but other metals such as cadmium are simply toxic. The cell must maintain metal concentrations in a window that supports efficient metabolic function but must also protect against the damaging effects of high concentrations of these metals. One way a cell regulates metal homeostasis is to control genes involved in metal mobilization and storage. Much of this regulation occurs at the level of transcription and the protein most responsible for this is the conserved metal responsive transcription factor, MTF-1. Interestingly, the nature of the changes in the gene expression profile depends on the type of exposure. The cell somehow senses the kind of metal challenge and responds appropriately. We have been using the Drosophila system to try to understand the mechanism of this metal discrimination. Using genome-wide mapping of MTF-1 binding under different metal stresses, we find that, surprisingly, MTF-1 chooses different DNA binding sites depending on the specific nature of the metal insult. We also find that the type of binding site chosen is an important component of the capability to induce the metal-specific transcription activation.
