Project description:Traffic-related air pollution has been a common public health problem, which is associated with central nervous system dysfunction according to large-scale epidemiological studies. Current studies are mostly limited to artificial laboratory exposure environments and specific genetic mechanisms remain unclear. In the spring, we transported the aged mice from the laboratory to the 1-meter-high dry platform in the campus and tunnel at the same time. Aged mice were exposed form 7 am to 7 pm each day for 2, 4 and 12 weeks, respectively. Compared with the control group (in campus), the memory function of mice in the exposure group (in tunnel) was significantly impaired in Morris water maze. Traffic-related air pollution exposure increased the number of activated microglia in the hippocampal DG and CA1, and up-regulated mRNA expression of inflammatory factors IL-18, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. By screening the risk genes of Alzheimer’s disease, we found the mRNA and protein levels of ABCA7 were down-regulated and those of PYK2 were up-regulated in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dPFC) of aged mice. The DNA methylation ratio increased in four CpG sites of abca7 promoter region and decreased in one CpG site of pyk2 promoter region, which were consistent with the altered expression of ABCA7 and PYK2. In conclusion, exposure to the real traffic environment impaired memory function and enhanced neuroinflammation of aged mice, which could be relevant to the alteration of ABCA7 and PYK2 gene expression. Our work provided a new and promising understanding of the pathological mechanisms of cognitive impairment caused by traffic-related air pollution.

Project description:Concerns about the potential risks to human health due nanoparticulate pollution have been emerging. However, the risks to sensitive populations, such as pregnant individuals and their unborn children are poorly characterised. With increasing evidence of environmental particles passing the placenta, their potential adverse effects of on pregnancy and fetal development need to be assessed. Here, we investigated the impact of copper oxide (CuO) and polystyrene (PS) nanoparticle exposure on gene expression in ex vivo perfused human placental tissue.

Project description:Exposure to indoor air pollution generated from the combustion of solid fuels is a major risk factor for a spectrum of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, including lung cancer. In Chinaâs rural counties of Xuanwei and Fuyuan, lung cancer rates are among the highest in the country. While the elevated disease risk in this population has been linked to the widespread usage of bituminous (smoky) coal as compared to anthracite (smokeless) coal, the underlying physiologic mechanism that smoky coal induces in comparison to other fuel types is unclear. As we have previously used airway gene-expression profiling to gain molecular insights into the physiologic effects of cigarette smoke, here we profiled the buccal epithelium of residents exposed to the burning of smoky and smokeless coal in order to understand the physiologic effects of solid fuels. Buccal mucosa scrapings were collected from healthy, non-smoking female residents of Xuanwei and Fuyuan counties who burn coal indoors. RNA was isolated and hybridized onto Affymetrix Human gene 1.0 ST GeneChips, capturing the gene-expression response of (n=26) smoky coal users and (n=9) smokeless coal users. 24-hour indoor personal exposure levels (PM2.5, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) were also captured during this sampling period.

Project description:Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental toxicants that pose a variety of health risks in humans. PCB 52 has been found in the indoor air of schools where adolescent students and staff are being actively exposed. This study examined the livers of adolescent Sprague-Dawley rats after sub-acute exposure to PCB 52 via nose-only inhalation. Rats were exposed for 4 hours daily for 28 consecutive days. RNA extracted from both male and female livers were submitted for RNA sequencing to compare the effects of PCB 52 on the expression of genes in the liver.

Project description:Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental toxicants that pose a variety of health risks in humans. PCB 52 has been found in the indoor air of schools where adolescent students and staff are being actively exposed. This study examined the three different fat depots, namely, brown adipose tissue (BAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT), of adolescent Sprague-Dawley rats after sub-acute exposure to PCB 52 via nose-only inhalation. Rats were exposed for 4 hours daily for 28 consecutive days. RNA extracted from both male and female fat depots were submitted for RNA sequencing to compare the effects of PCB 52 on the expression of genes in the fat depots.

Project description:The study investigated the impact of environment on the composition of the gut microbiota and mucosal immune development and function at gut surfaces in early and adult life. Piglets of similar genotype were reared in indoor and outdoor environments and in an experimental isolator facility. Mucosa-adherent microbial diversity in the pig ileum was characterized by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene libraries. Host-specific gene responses in gut ileal tissues to differences in microbial composition were investigated using Affymetrix microarray technology and Real-time PCR. Experiment Overall Design: Animals were reared on the sow at an outdoor or indoor facility. Additional piglets from the indoor facility were transferred to individual isolator units at 24 hours of age, and given a daily dose of antibiotic cocktail for the duration of the study. Piglets were weaned at day 28. From day 29 onwards, piglets were fed creep feed ad libitum. Ileal tissue samples were excised from N=6 piglets per group at day 5, 28 and 56.

Project description:The impacts of man-made chemicals, in particular of persistent organic pollutants, are multifactorial as they may affect the integrity of ecosystems, alter biodiversity and hinder the health of most organisms. We have demonstrated that the belowground mycobiota of forest soils acts as a buffer against the pollution provoked by the biocide pentachlorophenol. However the trade-offs of the mitigation of the pollutant remain cryptic. To address this question we scrutinised the key changing aspects of a metacommunity of fungi when confronted (or not) with the biocide, comprising taxonomic and functional levels, as well as the identification of the major pollutant degraders within the metacommunity. Exposure to the biocide led to alterations in the metacommunity composition and functioning, many of which were not fully alleviated when most of the biocide was degraded, especially the dysregulation of the carbon and nitrogen metabolisms. The last is possibly linked to the higher pathogenic potential of the metacommunity after exposure to the biocide, supported by the secretion of proteins related to pathogenicity and reduced susceptibility to a standard fungicide. Our findings provide additional evidence for the silent risks of environmental pollution, particularly as it may favour the development of pathogenic trade-offs in fungi, which may impose serious threats to animals and plant hosts.

Project description:Air pollutants including particulate matter (PM) and chemicals adsorbed onto PM pose a serious threat to human health. In this study, we analyzed the ability of PM to induce diverse gene expression profile modulation after chronic exposure in subjects living in two regions of the Czech Republic differing in levels and sources of the air pollution. We also considered impact of different seasonal conditions on concentrations and compositions of PM. Blood samples of 312 subjects from polluted Ostrava city and 154 controls from Prague city were collected in winter 2009, summer 2009 and winter 2010. The highest concentrations of air pollutants were detected in winter 2010 when the subjects were exposed to: PM of aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 M-BM-5m (70 vs. 44.9 M-BM-5g/m3); benzo[a]pyrene (9.02 vs. 2.56 ng/m3) and benzene (10.2 vs. 5.5 M-BM-5g/m3) in Ostrava and Prague, respectively. Global gene expression analysis of total RNA extracted from leukocytes was performed using whole genome microarrays (Illumina). The expression of selected genes was verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Despite lower concentrations of air pollutants we found a higher number of differentially expressed genes and affected KEGG pathways in subjects from Prague. In both locations we observed differences between seasons. The qRT-PCR analysis showed a significant decrease in expression of APEX, ATM, FAS, GSTM1, IL1B and RAD21 in subjects from Ostrava, in a comparison of winter 2010 and summer 2009. In Prague, an increase in gene expression was observed for GADD45A and PTGS2. In conclusion, high concentrations of pollutants in Ostrava do not increase the number of differentially expressed genes. This may be explained by adaption of humans to chronic exposure to air pollution. Total RNA was extracted from leukocytes of total of 154 control subjects and 312 subjects exposed to heavy air pollution. The samples were collected in three seasons (winter 2009, summer 2009, winter 2010) with different levels of air pollution. Most of the subjects were sampled repeatedly; however, some of them joined the study in summer 2009 or winter 2010.
