Project description:In vitro gene expression signatures to predict toxicological responses can provide mechanistic context for human health risk assessment purposes. We previously developed the TGx-28.65 genomic biomarker from a database of gene expression profiles in human TK6 cells exposed to 28 well-known compounds, and it comprises 65 genes that can classify chemicals as DNA damaging or non-DNA damaging. In this study, we applied the TGx-28.65 genomic biomarker in parallel with the in vitro micronucleus (MN) assay to determine if two chemicals of regulatory interest at Health Canada, disperse orange (DO: the orange azo dye 3-[[4-[(4-Nitrophenyl)azo]phenyl]benzylamino]propanenitrile) and 1,2,4-benzenetriol (BT: a metabolite of benzene) are genotoxic or non-genotoxic. Both chemicals caused dose-dependent declines in relative survival (RS) and increases in apoptosis. A strong significant increase in micronucleus induction was observed for all concentrations of BT; the top two concentrations of DO also caused a statistically significant increase in MN, but these increases were less than 2-fold above controls. TGx-28.65 analysis classified BT as genotoxic at all three concentrations and DO as genotoxic at the mid and high concentrations. Thus, although DO only induces a small increase in MN, this response is sufficient to induce a cellular DNA damage response that is likely relevant for risk assessment. Benchmark dose modeling revealed that BT is much more potent than DO; the BT benchmark dose for MN induction was similar to that of benzo[a]pyrene, (BaP: a genotoxic carcinogen), which was used as a positive control. The results strongly suggest that follow-up work is required to assess whether DO and BT are also genotoxic in vivo. This is particularly important for DO, which may require metabolic activation by bacterial gut flora to fully induce its genotoxic potential. Our previously published data and this proof of concept study suggest that the TGx-28.65 genomic biomarker has the potential to add significant value to existing approaches used to assess genotoxicity.

Project description:ICP-MS analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 reveals a high cell-associated manganese (Mn(II)) concentration that is comparable to that of zinc (Zn(II)). Stressing these cells with 100-200 µM Zn(II) leads to a slow-growth phenotype and a reduction in total Mn(II) concentration, with no decrease in the concentrations of other metal ions. Supplementation of the growth media with as little as 10 µM Mn(II) fully restores wildtype growth patterns and normal levels of cell-associated Mn(II). DNA microarray analysis reveals that zinc stress induces the expected upregulation of czcD (encoding a zinc effluxer), but also a pleiotropic transcriptional response suggestive of mild cell wall stress. Genes encoding a nitric oxide detoxification system (nmlR) and the Mn(II) uptake system (psaABC) are also induced. We conclude that Zn(II) toxicity results in a cytoplasmic Mn(II) deficiency, possibly caused by competition at the Mn(II) uptake transporter protein PsaA.

Project description:Effective therapy for malignant melanoma, the leading cause of death from skin cancer, remains an area of significant unmet need in oncology. Increased expression of PKCε in advanced metastatic melanoma, results in the phosphorylation of the transcription factor ATF2 on threonine 52, which causes its nuclear localization and confers its oncogenic activities. The nuclear-to-mitochondrial translocation of ATF2 following genotoxic stress promotes apoptosis, a function that is largely lost in melanoma cells, due to its confined nuclear localization. Therefore, promoting the nuclear export of ATF2, which sensitizes melanoma cells to apoptosis, offers a novel therapeutic modality. We conducted a pilot high-throughput screen of 3,800 compounds to identify small molecules that promote melanoma cell death by inducing the cytoplasmic localization of ATF2.

Project description:Cells activate various stress response pathways when exposed to chemicals that can damage cellular macromolecules and organelles. Whether different chemical stressors activate common and/or stressor-specific pathways and to what extent is largely unclear. Here, we used quantitative phosphoproteomics to compare the phosphorylation signaling cascades induced by four stressors with different modes of action: the DNA damaging agent: cisplatin (CDDP), the topoisomerase II inhibitor: etoposide (ETO), the pro-oxidant: diethyl maleate (DEM) and the immunosuppressant: cyclosporine A (CsA). We show that equitoxic doses of these stressors induce distinctive and complex phosphorylation signaling cascades. Our results reveal stressor-specific kinase motifs and pathways. CDDP activates the DNA damage response (DDR) predominantly through the replication-stress related Atr kinase, whereas ETO triggers the DDR through Atr as well as the DNA double stranded break associated Atm kinase. CsA shares with ETO, a strong activation of CK2 kinase and significant Atm phosphorylation but lacks prominent activation of the DDR. Congruent with their known modes of action, CsA-mediated signaling is related to down-regulation of pathways that control hematopoietic differentiation and immunity whereas oxidative stress is the most prominent initiator of DEM-modulated stress signaling. This study presents an unprecedented molecular insight into the activated phosphorylation signaling cascades after various types of stressors.

Project description:Background: Modern testing paradigms seek to apply human-relevant cell culture models and integrate data from multiple test systems to accurately inform potential hazards and modes of action for chemical toxicology. In genetic toxicology, the use of metabolically competent human hepatocyte cell culture models provides clear advantages over other more commonly used cell lines that require the use of external metabolic activation systems, such as rat liver S9. HepaRG™ cells are metabolically competent cells that express Phase I and II metabolic enzymes and differentiate into mature hepatocyte-like cells, making them ideal for toxicity testing. We assessed the performance of the flow cytometry in vitro micronucleus (MN) test and the TGx-DDI transcriptomic biomarker to detect DNA damage-inducing (DDI) chemicals in human HepaRG™ cells after a 3-day repeat exposure. The biomarker, developed for use in human TK6 cells, is a panel of 64 genes that accurately classifies chemicals as DDI or non-DDI. Herein, the TGx-DDI biomarker was analyzed by Ion AmpliSeq whole transcriptome sequencing to assess its classification accuracy using this more modern gene expression technology as a secondary objective. Methods: HepaRG™ cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of 10 test chemicals (six genotoxic chemicals, including one aneugen, and four non-genotoxic chemicals). Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity were measured using the In Vitro MicroFlow® kit, which was run in parallel with the TGx-DDI biomarker. Results: A concentration-related decrease in relative survival and a concomitant increase in MN frequency were observed for genotoxic chemicals in HepaRG™ cells. All five DDI and five non-DDI agents were correctly classified (as genotoxic/non-genotoxic and DDI/non-DDI) by pairing the test methods. The aneugenic agent (colchicine) yielded the expected positive result in the MN test and negative (non-DDI) result by TGx-DDI. Conclusions: This next generation genotoxicity testing strategy is aligned with the paradigm shift occurring in the field of genetic toxicology. It provides mechanistic insight in a human-relevant cell-model, paired with measurement of a conventional endpoint, to inform the potential for adverse health effects. This work provides support for combining these assays in an integrated test strategy for accurate, higher throughput genetic toxicology testing in this metabolically competent human progenitor cell line.

Project description:Nuclear actin has been elusive due to the lack of molecular mechanisms. From actin-containing chromatin remodeling complexes, we discovered an arginine mono-methylation mark on evolutionarily conserved R256 residue of actin (R256me1). Actin R256 mutations in yeast affect nuclear functions, and cause diseases in human. Interestingly, we show that an antibody specific for actin R256me1 preferentially stain nuclear actin over cytoplasmic actin in yeast, mouse and human cells. We also show that actin R256me1 is regulated by protein arginine methyl transferase-5 (PRMT5) in HEK293 cells. Genome-wide survey of actin R256me1 mark provides a landscape for nuclear actin correlated with transcription. Further gene expression and protein interaction studies uncover extensive correlations between actin R256me1 and active transcription. The discovery of actin R256me1 mark suggests a fundamental mechanism to distinguish nuclear actin from cytoplasmic actin through post-translational modification (PTM), and potentially implicates an actin PTM mark in transcription and human diseases.

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to develop new methods to extract pure fractions of nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA. We compared the results of nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA-sequencing to results of the total and polyA+ RNA-sequencing. Cytoplasmic, nuclear, total and polyA+ RNA was extracted from two human brain samples and sequenced on the SOLiD system. We analyzed the data to look for differences in levels of nascent transcription and mature mRNAs between the different samples.
