Project description:The use of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) at fire-training areas (FTAs) has introduced into ground- and surface waters a complex mixture of per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The toxicity of environmental PFAS mixtures to wildlife is not well understood and presents a knowledge gap that limits accurate risk assessment. To evaluate reproductive biomarker responses to complex environmental PFAS mixtures, we conducted a series of on-site experiments using flow-through mobile laboratories exposing fish to groundwater impacted by a legacy FTA and an adjacent reference site A 60K fathead minnow microarray was used to quantify gene expression patterns in the testis and liver of fish exposed to water from Fire Training Area 1 and 2 relative to a reference site.

Project description:HiSpOD is a new efficient functional microarrays probe design algorithm especially dedicated for the microbial ecology and environmental studies. It was used to design 3392 probes targeting 21 genes involved in chlorinated solvent biodegradation pathways and synthesized on a nimblegen microarray. In order to test the probe specificity, the microarray was firstly hybridized to 6 M-BM-5g of labelled aRNA from sheep rumen content (background aRNA). Secondly, hybridization of 1011 copies of labelled aRNA derived from in vitro transcription of three synthetic genes (mmoC, vcrA and tceA) and mixed with 6 M-BM-5g of the same complex background material were performed to test their sensibility. Finally, the expression analysis of a contaminated groundwater sample was performed. A 3 chip study was realized. The first one is a negative control performed with a complex background material (labelled antisense mRNA from sheep rumen content). The second one is a positive control realized with labelled antisense RNA derived from in vitro transcription of three synthetic genes mixed the same complex background material. The third consists in the hybridization of antisense mRNA retrieved from a contaminated groundwater. Each probe (3392) was synthetized in triplicate, and a total of 8,863 random probes was used to determine the background noise.

Project description:A functional microarray targeting 24 genes involved in chlorinated solvent biodegradation pathways has been developed and used to monitor the gene expression in a contaminated site (site B) under ERD (enhanced reductive dechlorination) treatment. The microarray format provided by NimbleGen and used in this study is 12x135K. 4 M-BM-5g of labelled antisense mRNA from 3 groundwater samples were hybridized on the microarray. A 3-chip study was performed, each corresponding to hybridization with 4 M-BM-5g of labelled antisense mRNA retrieved from a monitoring well of a contaminated site (site B). Each probe (760nt) on the microarray was synthesized in eight replicates, and a total of 5,707 random probes was used to determine the background noise. Groundwater samples were collected from a contaminated site (site B) from three monitoring wells (P1, P2 and P3). P1: well located upstream to the contamination source. P2: well in the contamination source. P3 : well located downstream to the contamination source.

Project description:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmental contaminants of concern due to their persistence and potential adverse health effects. Epidemiological studies have linked PFAS with an increased risk of uterine diseases including fibroids however, the mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated. This study investigated the effects of individual PFAS, including long-chain “legacy” PFAS [perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)] and short-chain “alternative” PFAS compounds [undecafluoro-2-methyl-3-oxahexanoic acid (GENX/HFPO-DA), perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS)], as well as a mixture of these chemicals on the function and transcriptome of an immortalized human myometrial cell line (UT-TERT). UT-TERT cells exposed to individual PFAS displayed increased cell viability and proliferation. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that PFOS and the PFAS mixture altered cell cycle progression. Migration assays demonstrated that PFOS and the PFAS mixture significantly enhanced UT-TERT cell migration. Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) was impaired following PFOA, PFBS, and PFAS mixture exposure, indicating potential disruptions in cell-to-cell communication within the uterine environment. Transcriptomic analysis using RNA-seq identified substantial changes in gene expression after exposure to environmentally relevant levels of individual PFAS and PFAS mixture. Pathway analysis revealed common molecular pathways associated with PFAS exposure, including Cell-to-Cell Signaling, Lipid Metabolism, and Cell Death and Survival, while other pathways were unique to specific PFAS. These findings highlight the multifaceted effects of PFAS on myometrial cells, providing insights into the potential mechanisms underlying PFAS-associated health risks. Further research is necessary to elucidate the long-term implications of PFAS exposure on uterine function and overall reproductive health.
