Project description:Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal found throughout the environment and one of the top ten toxicants of major public health concern identified by the World Health Organization.InuteroCd exposure causes fetal growth restriction, malformation, and spontaneous abortion; however, the mechanisms by which Cd impacts these outcomes are poorly understood. Cd accumulates in the placenta, suggesting that these negative outcomes may be a consequence of disrupted placental function and placental insufficiency. To understand the impact of Cd on gene expression within the placenta, we developed a mouse model of Cd-induced fetal growth restriction through maternal consumption of CdCl2 and performed RNA-seq on control and CdCl2 exposed placentae. The top differentially expressed transcript was the Tcl1Upstream Neuron-Associated (Tuna) long non-coding RNA, which was up-regulated over 25-fold in CdCl2 exposed placentae. Tuna has been shown to be critical for neural stem cell differentiation. However, within the placenta, there is no evidence that Tuna is normally expressed or functional at any developmental stage. To determine the spatial expression of Cd-activated Tuna within the placenta, we used in situ hybridization as well as placental layer-specific RNA isolation and analysis. Both methods confirmed the absence of Tuna expression in control samples and determined that Cd-induced Tuna expression is specific to the junctional zone. Since many lncRNAs regulate gene expression, we hypothesized that Tunaforms part of the mechanism of Cd-induced transcriptomic changes. To test this, we over-expressed Tuna in cultured choriocarcinoma cells and compared gene expression profiles to those of control and CdCl2 exposed cells. We demonstrate significant overlap between genes activated byTunaoverexpression and genes activated by CdCl2 exposure, with enrichment in the NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response. Herein we analyze the NRF2 pathway and show that Tuna increases NRF2/NRF2 both at the transcript and protein levels. Tuna drives increased NRF2 target gene expression, a result that is abrogated with the use of an NRF2 inhibitor, confirming that Tuna activates oxidative stress response genes through this pathway. This work identifies the lncRNA Tuna as a potential novel player in Cd-induced placental insufficiency.

Project description:The largest of the tuna species, Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus, 1758), inhabits the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and is considered to be an endangered species, largely through overfishing. Thus, the development of aquaculture practices independent of wild resources can provide an important contribution towards ensuring security and sustainability of this species in the longer-term. In order to provide a resource for ongoing studies, we have used 454 pyrosequencing technology to sequence a mixed-tissue normalized cDNA library, derived from adult individuals. Transcript sequences were used to develop a novel 15K Agilent oligo microarray for T. thynnus and comparative tissue gene expression profiles were inferred for gill, heart, liver, ovaries and testes.

Project description:In this study, we examined the transcriptomic responses to temperature acclimation (14oC, 20oC, and 25oC) in atrial and ventricular tissues of Pacific bluefin tuna (PBFT). A global gene expression analysis using a bluefin tuna-specific microarray indicated profound changes in expression of genes associated with energy metabolism, protein turnover, cellular stress response, oxidative stress and apoptosis. A principal component analysis revealed tissue-specific transcriptomic responses to temperature, with atrium at 25oC showing the greatest variation. Overall transcriptomic data suggests that PBFT can optimize cardiac function in the cold by acclimating to 14oC. Capacity to acclimate to colder temperatures potentially underlies this species ability to expand its vertical and horizontal thermal niche and migrate to colder oceans at high latitudes. In contrast, the cardiac phenotype of 25oC acclimated fish infers that PBFT hearts struggle to maintain cellular homeostasis and are subjected to programmed cell death. The goal of this study was to compare transcriptomic response to cold and warm temperature acclimations across cardiac tissues in Pacific bluefin tuna. Fish (n=4) were acclimated to 14C, 20C and 25C, and RNA was extracted from atrial, ventricular compact and spongy tissues. Experimental samples were hybridyzed against a reference pool that contained a mix of RNA from every sample.
