Project description:Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a highly toxic pesticide that was first introduced in the 1930s. The a-proteobacterium Sphingobium chlorophenolicum, which was isolated from PCP-contaminated sediment, has assembled a metabolic pathway capable of mineralizing PCP. Interestingly, this pathway produces four toxic intermediates, which include a chlorinated benzoquinone that is a potent alkylating agent and three chlorinated hydroquinones that produce reactive oxygen species and benzoquinones upon reaction with O2. We sought to identify how the cell tolerates the onslaught of toxic effects associated with these intermediates. RNA-Seq and Tn-Seq were used to probe the response of S. chlorophenolicum to PCP as well as the stresses associated with its exposure and degradation. The results demonstrate that PCP exposure causes dissipation of the proton-motive force and perturbation of the cell envelope, and the downstream intermediates cause oxidative stress. However, the transcriptional response to PCP degradation far exceeds what is actually needed and, for many genes, is actually counter-productive. Prevention of PCP degradation by deletion of the transcriptional regulator, pcpR, increases growth rate in rich medium. These data suggest that, although PCP degradation allows access to a novel nutrient, the benefit of degrading it depends upon the availability of other resources. When resources are abundant, the detrimental effects of the toxic intermediates may outweigh the benefit of the carbon and energy that can be obtained by degrading PCP. However, when resources are scarce, degradation of PCP may provide access to a novel source of carbon and energy as well as detoxification of this anthropogenic pollutant.

Project description:Through chemical contamination of natural environments, microbial communities are exposed to many different types of chemical stressors; however, research on whole genome responses to this contaminant stress is limited. This study examined the transcriptome response of a common soil bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to the common environmental contaminant pentachlorophenol (PCP). Cells were grown in chemostats at a low growth rate to obtain substrate-limited, steady-state, balanced-growth conditions. The PCP stress was administered as a continuous increase in concentration, and samples taken over time were examined for physiological function changes with whole cell acetate uptake rates (WAUR) and cell viability, and for gene expression changes using Affymetrix GeneChip technology and RT-PCR. Cell viability, measured by heterotrophic plate counts, showed a moderately steady decrease after exposure to the stressor, but WAURs did not change in response to PCP. In contrast to the physiological data, the microarray data showed significant changes in the expression of several genes. In particular, genes coding for multi-drug efflux pumps, including MexAB-OprM, were strongly upregulated. The upregulation of these efflux pumps protected the cells from the potentially toxic effects of PCP, allowing the physiological whole-cell function to remain constant.

Project description:Pentachlorophenol (PCP) as a widely used pesticide is also considered to be an endocrine disruptor. Molecular effects of chemicals with endocrine disrupting potential on soil invertebrates are largely unknown. Collembola (Folsomia candida) has been used as a model organism in ecotoxicity and in this study we explored the transcriptional expression changes of Folsomia candida in response to PCP contamination. A total of 92 genes were significantly differentially expressed at all exposure time and majority of them were found to be down-regulated. In addition to the transcripts encoding cytochrome P450s and transferase enzymes, chitin-binding protein was also identified in the list of common differentially genes. Analyses of Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and enrichment revealed that cell cycle related transcripts were significantly induced by PCP, indicating it can stimulated the cell proliferation in springtail as reported in human breast cancer cells. We also observed enrichment of functional terms related to steroid receptor and particularly twenty significant differential expressed genes involved in Chitin metabolism in response to PCP exposure. Combined with the confirmation by qPCR, our results appears that the adverse effects on reproduction of springtails after exposure to PCP can be attributed to a chemical-induced delay in the molting cycle and molting associated genes may serve as possible biomarkers for toxicological effects. In general, analysis of changes in the gene expression profiles of springtails in response to PCP exposure is useful for obtaining information on endocrine disruptor exposure of soil invertebrate and may contribute to the classification and risk assessment of relative chemicals.

Experiment Overall Design: Cells of P. aeruginosa were grown in steady-state nutrient-limiting conditions using a minimal medium with acetate as the sole carbon source. PCP was added as a continuous input, and the samples were taken at timepoints corresponding to approximately 0.5, 1, and 2 generation times. Reactors were run at least in triplicate, and samples from duplicate WT reactors and a single RpoS- reactor were used for the microarrays. Gene expression is reported as the average fold-change associated with gene expression of PCP-shocked cells compared with the pre-PCP timepoint (0 hours) for the WT.
