Project description:2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a persistent environmental contaminant that disrupts normal hepatic function. This disruption leads to the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) pathologies, including steatosis, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis. TCDD exerts hepatotoxic effects through activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) eliciting transcriptional changes. Although diverse liver cell types contribute to TCDD-induced hepatotoxicity, cell-specific transcriptional changes in response to acute TCDD exposure remain unclear. The objective of this project was to elucidate the cell-specific outcomes of AHR activation following acute TCDD exposure. We conducted liver single-nuclei RNA-sequencing from male C57BL/6 mice administered 30 μg/kg of TCDD or sesame oil and sacrificed at 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, or 72 hours post-oral gavage. Leiden clustering and annotation identified 10 major liver cell types, and 2 macrophage and 8 endothelial cell (EC) subtypes. While most cell types maintained their relative abundance, neutrophils exhibited an increase at 72 hours in response to TCDD. Hepatocytes, ECs, and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were the only cell types with cell-specific gene expression changes with known AHR binding sites (1,550, 102, and 40, respectively). Functional enrichment analysis in response to TCDD revealed disruptions in the metabolism of steroids, primary bile acids, vitamins, retinols, and glutathione in addition to one-carbon metabolism. EC differential gene expression was associated with PI3-AKT signaling, as well as protein processing and transport pathways. HSCs were enriched in protein processing, ABC transporters, and the dysregulation of tryptophan and linoleic acid metabolism. Altogether, these results suggest that early responses to TCDD trigger cell-specific changes in gene expression in the liver, contributing to hepatotoxicity and the emergence of hepatic pathologies related to NAFLD.
