Project description:Dioxin and dioxin-related polychlorinated biphenyls are potent toxicants with association with developmental heart defects and congenital heart diseases. However, the underlying mechanism of their developmental toxicity is not fully understood. Further, different animals show distinct susceptibility and phenotypes after exposure, suggesting possible species-specific effects. Using a human embryonic stem cell (ESC) cardiomyocyte differentiation model, we examined the impact, susceptible window, and dosage of 2,3,7,8‑tetrachlorodibenzo‑p‑dioxin (TCDD) on human cardiac development. We showed that treatment of human ESCs with TCDD at the ESC stage inhibits cardiomyocyte differentiation, and the effect is largely mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). We further identified genes that are differentially expressed after TCDD treatment by RNA-sequencing, and genomic regions that are occupied by AHR by chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing. Our results support the model that TCDD impairs human ESC cardiac differentiation by promoting AHR binding and repression of key mesoderm genes. More importantly, our study demonstrates the toxicity of dioxin in human embryonic development and uncovered a novel mechanism by which dioxin and AHR regulates lineage commitment. It also illustrates the power of ESC-based models in the systematic study of developmental toxicology.

Project description:2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a persistent environmental contaminant. Previous reports revealed TCDD activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway and causing cardiac damage. However, the mechanism of AhR-induced cardiac defect in response to TCDD exposure remains unclear. In this study, we characterized the impacts of TCDD exposure on heart morphology and cardiac function in zebrafish. To investigate the differentially expressed genes under TCDD exposure, we collected the zebrafish larave heart from the control and TCDD treatment groups. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq. Transcriptomic profiling showed that, along with an upregulation of the AhR signaling pathway by TCDD, the expression of pro-ferroptosis genes was upregulated, while genes implicated in glutathione metabolism were downregulated. Consistently, lipid peroxidation, as indicated by malonaldehyde (MDA) production, increased in TCDD-exposed cardiac tissue. Accordingly, inhibiting lipid peroxidation with Liproxstatin-1 reversed the adverse cardiac effects under TCDD treatment. Together, our findings demonstrate that AhR-mediated lipid peroxidation contributes to the cardiac developmental defects of TCDD during zebrafish early development.

Project description:Major toxicities of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) result from dysregulation of gene expression mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). Dioxin-like chemicals alter expression of numerous genes in liver but the specific genes whose dysregulation leads to toxicities such as wasting, hepatotoxicity and lethality have not been identified. We searched for genes that are most likely to be key to dioxin toxicity by using gene expression arrays to contrast hepatic gene expression after TCDD treatment in dioxin-sensitive rats (that carry wildtype AHR) with gene expression in H/W(Kuopio) rats which are highly resistant to dioxin toxicity due to a major deletion in the AHR's transactivation domain (TAD). The total number of TCDD-responsive genes was smaller in rats with the AHRH/W genotype than in rats with wildtype AHR. However, genes in the classic AH gene battery such as CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1 remained fully responsive to TCDD in AHRH/W rats; thus the TAD deletion selectively interferes with expression of a subset of hepatic genes rather than abolishing global AHR-mediated responses. Genes in the following functional categories differ in response to TCDD between dioxin-sensitive rats and dioxin-resistant rats: fatty acid oxidation, metabolism (xenobiotic, alcohol, amino acid, and fatty acid), phosphate transport, regulation of steroid biosynthesis, nitrogen compound catabolism, and generation of precursor metabolites and energy. Many of these differentially-responsive genes are integral parts of pathways such as: protein degradation and synthesis, fatty acid metabolism and synthesis, cytokinesis, cell growth, and apoptosis which may be part of mechanisms which lead to TCDD-induced wasting, hepatotoxicity, tumors, and death. These differentially-responsive genes are worthy candidates for further mechanistic studies to test their role in mediating or protecting from major dioxin toxicities.

Experiment Overall Design: Four strains of rats were either treated with 100 ug/kg TCDD or cornoil vehicle and profiled at 19 hours, each with four replicates. Two strains were also analyzed at 3 hours, each with four replicates.

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a widely-expressed ligand-dependent transcription-factor that mediates cellular responses to dioxins and other planar aromatic hydrocarbons. Indeed, AHR-null mice are refractory to the physiological effects of dioxin-exposure. Although some mechanistic aspects of AHR activity are well understood, the tissue-specificity of AHR effects remains unclear, both during development and following administration of exogenous ligands. Previously we employed studied the transcriptional responses of wild-type and AHR-null C57BL/6J mice to dioxin-exposure. We found that essentially all hepatic effects of dioxin were mediated by the AHR, and that large numbers of genes were affected by dioxin exposure. Surprisingly, we also identified a large effect of AHR genotype, even in the absence of dioxin-exposure. To help assess the tissue-specificity of AHR activity we replicated that prior study in the kidney from the same animals previously studied, and extensively compared the hepatic and renal transcriptional profiles. We find that dioxin-exposure causes essentially no transcriptional effects in the absence of a functional AHR in either liver or kidney. Surprisingly, aside from a number of well-established AHR target genes, dioxin-exposure has few effects in animals harbouring a wild-type AHR. By contrast, AHR genotype profoundly remodels the renal transcriptome, and is associated with perturbation of specific functional pathways and with specific DNA motifs. Our results demonstrate the importance of inter-tissue comparisons and highlight the basal role of AHR activity in renal and hepatic development or normal physiology. Two-Factor, Two-Level. AHRnull and wildtype mice were treated with dioxin (TCDD) or corn oil vehicle. 3 replicates per treatment for AHRnull mice, 6 replicates of dioxin treatment for wildtype mice, and 5 replicates of corn oil treatment for wildtype mice.
