Project description:Here, we aimed to apply a TMT based quantitative phosphoproteomics approach to investigate rodent thyroid toxicity. For this purpose, male Wistar rats have been exposed to a direct (6-propyl-2-thiouracil, PTU) and an indirect (phenytoin) thyroid toxicant, respectively. Thereby, two doses (low:5ppm for PTU and 300ppm for phenytoin , high: 50ppm for PTU and 2400ppm for phenytoin) and three exposure time phase (short: 2 weeks, long:4 weeks, and long+recovery: 4weeks+2weeks) were investigated, allowing insights into the modes of action during thyroid toxicity. Phosphoproteomics were applied to liver.

Project description:HerGa is a self-assembled tumor-targeted particle that bears both tumor detection and elimination activities in a single, two-component complex (Agadjanian et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.2009, 106, 6105-6110). Given its multifunctionality, HerGa (composed of the fluorescent cytotoxic corrole macrocycle, S2Ga, noncovalently bound to the tumor-targeted cell penetration protein, HerPBK10) has the potential for high clinical impact, but its mechanism of cell killing remains to be elucidated, and hence is the focus of the present study. Here we show that HerGa requires HerPBK10-mediated cell entry to induce toxicity. HerGa (but not HerPBK10 or S2Ga alone) induced mitochondrial membrane potential disruption and superoxide elevation, which were both prevented by endosomolytic-deficient mutants, indicating that cytosolic exposure is necessary for corrole-mediated cell death. A novel property discovered here is that corrole fluorescence lifetime acts as a pH indicator, broadcasting the intracellular microenvironmental pH during uptake in live cells. This feature in combination with two-photon imaging shows that HerGa undergoes early endosome escape during uptake, avoiding compartments of pH < 6.5. Cytoskeletal disruption accompanied HerGa-mediated mitochondrial changes whereas oxygen scavenging reduced both events. Paclitaxel treatment indicated that HerGa uptake requires dynamic microtubules. Unexpectedly, low pH is insufficient to induce release of the corrole from HerPBK10. Altogether, these studies identify a mechanistic pathway in which early endosomal escape enables HerGa-induced superoxide generation leading to cytoskeletal and mitochondrial damage, thus triggering downstream cell death.

Project description:The rapidly increasing number of engineered nanoparticles (NPs), and products containing NPs, raises concerns for human exposure and safety. With this increasing, and ever changing, catalogue of NPs it is becoming more difficult to adequately assess the toxic potential of new materials in a timely fashion. It is therefore important to develop methods which can provide high-throughput screening of biological responses. The use of omics technologies, including metabolomics, can play a vital role in this process by providing relatively fast, comprehensive, and cost-effective assessment of cellular responses. These techniques thus provide the opportunity to identify specific toxicity pathways and to generate hypotheses on how to reduce or abolish toxicity.We have used untargeted metabolome analysis to determine differentially expressed metabolites in human lung epithelial cells (A549) exposed to copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). Toxicity hypotheses were then generated based on the affected pathways, and critically tested using more conventional biochemical and cellular assays. CuO NPs induced regulation of metabolites involved in oxidative stress, hypertonic stress, and apoptosis. The involvement of oxidative stress was clarified more easily than apoptosis, which involved control experiments to confirm specific metabolites that could be used as standard markers for apoptosis; based on this we tentatively propose methylnicotinamide as a generic metabolic marker for apoptosis.Our findings are well aligned with the current literature on CuO NP toxicity. We thus believe that untargeted metabolomics profiling is a suitable tool for NP toxicity screening and hypothesis generation.

Project description:Rifampicin (RIF) is a critical first-line drug for tuberculosis. However, long-term or high-dose treatment with RIF can induce severe liver injury; the underlying mechanism of this effect has not yet been clarified. This study was performed to screen reliable and sensitive biomarkers in serum bile acids (BAs) using targeted BA metabolomics and evaluate the toxicity mechanisms underlying RIF-induced liver injury through the farnesoid x receptor (Fxr)-multidrug resistance-associated proteins (Mrps) signaling pathway. Thirty-two Institute of Cancer Research mice were randomly divided into four groups, and normal saline, isoniazid 75 mg/kg + RIF 177 mg/kg (RIF-L), RIF-L, or RIF 442.5 mg/kg (RIF-H) was orally administered by gavage for 21 days. After treatment, changes in serum biochemical parameters, hepatic pathological conditions, BA levels, Fxr expression, and BA transporter levels were measured. RIF caused notable liver injury and increased serum cholic acid (CA) levels. Decline in the serum secondary BAs (deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid, taurodeoxycholic acid, and tauroursodeoxycholic acid) levels led to liver injury in mice. Serum BAs were subjected to metabolomic assessment using partial least squares discriminant and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. CA, DCA, LCA, TDCA, and TUDCA are potential biomarkers for early detection of RIF-induced liver injury. Furthermore, RIF-H reduced hepatic BA levels and elevated serum BA levels by suppressing the expression of Fxr and Mrp2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) while inducing that of Mrp3 and Mrp4 mRNAs. These findings provide evidence for screening additional biomarkers based on targeted BA metabolomics and provide further insights into the pathogenesis of RIF-induced liver injury.

Project description:IntroductionSaliva metabolites are suggested to reflect the health status of an individual in humans. The same could be true with the dog (Canis lupus familiaris), an important animal model of human disease, but its saliva metabolome is unknown. As a non-invasive sample, canine saliva could offer a new alternative material for research to reveal molecular mechanisms of different (patho)physiological stages, and for veterinary medicine to monitor dogs' health trajectories.ObjectivesTo investigate and characterize the metabolite composition of dog and human saliva in a non-targeted manner.MethodsStimulated saliva was collected from 13 privately-owned dogs and from 14 human individuals. We used a non-targeted ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-qTOF-MS) method to measure metabolite profiles from saliva samples.ResultsWe identified and classified a total of 211 endogenous and exogenous salivary metabolites. The compounds included amino acids, amino acid derivatives, biogenic amines, nucleic acid subunits, lipids, organic acids, small peptides as well as other metabolites, like metabolic waste molecules and other chemicals. Our results reveal a distinct metabolite profile of dog and human saliva as 25 lipid compounds were identified only in canine saliva and eight dipeptides only in human saliva. In addition, we observed large variation in ion abundance within and between the identified saliva metabolites in dog and human.ConclusionThe results suggest that non-targeted metabolomics approach utilizing UHPLC-qTOF-MS can detect a wide range of small compounds in dog and human saliva with partially overlapping metabolite composition. The identified metabolites indicate that canine saliva is potentially a versatile material for the discovery of biomarkers for dog welfare. However, this profile is not complete, and dog saliva needs to be investigated in the future with other analytical platforms to characterize the whole canine saliva metabolome. Furthermore, the detailed comparison of human and dog saliva composition needs to be conducted with harmonized study design.

Project description:Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have a long history of use because of its potential complementary therapy and fewer adverse effects. However, the toxicity and safety issues of TCM have drawn considerable attention in the past two decades. Metabolomics is an "omics" approach that aims to comprehensively analyze all metabolites in biological samples. In agreement with the holistic concept of TCM, metabolomics has shown great potential in efficacy and toxicity evaluation of TCM. Recently, a large amount of metabolomic researches have been devoted to exploring the mechanism of toxicity induced by TCM, such as hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. In this paper, the application of metabolomics in toxicity evaluation of bioactive compounds, TCM extracts and TCM prescriptions are reviewed, and the potential problems and further perspectives for application of metabolomics in toxicological studies are also discussed.
