Project description:N-nitroso compounds (NOC) may be implicated in human colon carcinogenesis, but the toxicological mechanisms involved have not been elucidated. Since it was previously demonstrated that nitrosamines and nitrosamides, representing two classes of NOC, induce distinct gene expression effects in colon cells that are particularly related to oxidative stress, we hypothesized that different radical mechanisms are involved. Using ESR spectroscopy, we investigated radical generating properties of genotoxic NOC concentrations in human colon adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2). Cells were exposed to nitrosamides (N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, N-methyl-N-nitrosurea) or nitrosamines (N-nitrosodiethylamine, N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine). Nitrosamines caused formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and carbon centered radicals which was further stimulated in presence of Caco-2 cells. N-methyl-N-nitrosurea exposure resulted in a small ROS signal, and formation of nitrogen centered radicals (NCR), also stimulated by Caco-2 cells. N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine did not cause radical formation at genotoxic concentrations, but at increased exposure levels, both ROS and NCR formation was observed. By associating gene expression patterns with ROS formation, several cellular processes responding to nitrosamine exposure were identified, including apoptosis, cell cycle blockage, DNA repair and oxidative stress. These findings suggest that following NOC exposure in Caco-2 cells, ROS formation plays an important role in deregulation of gene expression patterns which may be relevant for the process of chemical carcinogenesis in the human colon, in addition to the role of DNA alkylation. Keywords: Nitrosamines, nitrosamides, N-nitroso compounds, free radicals, toxicogenomics, colon carcinogenesis The study investigated differential gene expression in Caco-2 cell line mRNA following 1, 6 or 24 hours of exposure to six different N-nitroso compounds. Two biological replicates per sample compound. One compound per array, hybridized against vehicle control. Dye-swap between biological replicates.

Project description:N-nitroso compounds (NOC) are genotoxic compounds and animal carcinogens, and may play a role in human cancer development. Since the gastro-intestinal tract is an important route of exposure, we hypothesize that NOC exposure targets genetic processes relevant in colon carcinogenesis. To investigate this, we analysed the transcriptomic effects of genotoxic concentrations of two nitrosamides, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG, 1µM) and N-methyl-N-nitrosurea (MNU, 1mM), and four nitrosamines, N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA, 50mM), N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA, 100mM), N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP, 40mM), and N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR, 100mM), in the human colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2. Gene Ontology gene group, consensus motif gene group and biological pathway analysis revealed that nitrosamides had little effect on gene expression after 24 hours of exposure, whereas nitrosamines had a strong impact on the transcriptomic profile. Analyses showed modifications of cell cycle regulation and apoptosis pathways for nitrosamines which was supported by flow cytometric analysis. We found additional modifications in gene groups and pathways of oxidative stress and inflammation, which suggest an increase in oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory immune response upon nitrosamine exposure, although less distinct for NDMA. Furthermore, NDEA, NPIP and NPYR most strongly affected several developmental motif gene groups and pathways, which may influence developmental processes. Many of these pathways and gene groups are implicated in the carcinogenic process and their modulation by nitrosamine exposure may therefore influence the development of colon cancer. In summary, our study has identified pathway modifications in human colon cells which may be associated with cancer risk of nitrosamine exposure in the human colon.

Project description:Study hypothesis: We hypothesise that both colon inflammation and a diet high in red meat increase the endogenous formation of potentially carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds in the human colon and that these compounds increase the colorectal cancer risk, which could (partially) explain the increased colorectal cancer risk that is associated with inflammatory bowel disease and diets high in red meat.
Inflammatory bowel disease is characterised by a chronic inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract, which, in case of ulcerative colitis, is present in the colon and rectum.
Primary outcome(s): 1. Whole genome gene expression modifications by microarray analysis (4x44K Agilent platform)
2. Apparent total nitroso compounds in faecal matter by thermal energy analysis
3. Faecal water genotoxicity (30 minute exposure to 10% faecal water) by comet assay analysis in the adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2
All outcomes are measured at baseline and post intervention.

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.
