Project description:The use of a systems biology approach to analyze common and specific mechanisms of liver toxicity induced by munitions compounds TNT, 2,6-DNT, 2,4-DNT, 4A-DNT, and 2A-DNT The munitions compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), its environmental degradation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2A-DNT) and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoulene (4A-DNT), and two other munitions, 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) and 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) contaminate contaminate land, water and retired ammunitions plants. The release of these compounds to the environment is due to military activities and a series of manufacturing processes. Although toxicity has been characterized for these compounds, little is known of their mechanism of action. Here we describe to use an integrative systems biology approach including toxicology, pathology, transcriptomics, metabolomics, gene function classification, pathway analysis and gene network modeling to try to understand the mechanisms of toxicity of these compounds.

Project description:Small organisms can be used as biomonitoring tools to assess chemicals in the environment. Chemical stressors are especially hard to assess and monitor when present as complex mixtures. Here, Daphnia magna were exposed for 24 hours to five different munitions constituents 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), trinitrobenzene (TNB), dinitrobenzene (DNB), or 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX) as well as to 8 different munitions mixtures and ground water contaminated with munitions constituents. To better understand possible mixture effects, gene expression changes from all treatments were compared using high-density microarrays. While mixtures and ground water exposures had genes and gene functions in common with single chemical exposures, unique functions were also affected, which was consistent with the non-additivity of chemical effects in these mixtures. The study consisted of three different experiments: (1) exposure to a concentration corresponding to 70% of 1/10th of the LC50 value of six individual MCs (TNT, 2,4-DNT, 2,6-DNT, DNB, TNB, RDX) and a control; (2) exposure to eight different laboratory mixtures of the previously mentioned MCs. Different combinations of MCs including four mixtures (Mixtures 5, 6, 7 and 8) representative of field collected groundwater from LAAP (Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant) were created; and (3) exposure to MC-contaminated ground water field-collected from 3 different wells (85, 108, and 141) at the LAAP. All exposures were conducted for 24h.

Project description:To determine toxicant specific effects of Ordnance Related Compound (ORC) exposure we performed microarray hybridizations with RNA isolated from Daphnia magna following different ORC exposures at the 1/10 LC50. The gene expression profiles revealed toxicant specific gene expression profiles allowed for the identification of specific biomarkers of exposure. Keywords: ecotoxicogenomic exposure study We exposed Daphnia magna the 1/10 LC50 of different Ordnance Related Compounds (Cu, Zn, Pb, WO4, RDX, TNT, 2-ADNT, 2-ADNT, TNB, DNB, 2,4-DNT, and 2,6-DNT) for 24 hours. For each exposure condition, we performed 3 exposures and 2 technical replicates (as dye swap) for each exposure (6 microarrays total, except TNT and Cu). All exposures were compared to a unexposed laboratory control (MHRW media).

Project description:Munitions constituents (MCs) including hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and TNT derivatives are recognized to elicit aberrant neuromuscular responses in many species. The onset of seizures resulting in death was observed in the avian model Northern bobwhite after oral dosing with RDX beginning at 8 mg/kg/day in subacute (14 days) exposures, whereas affective doses of the TNT derivative, 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), caused gastrointestinal impacts, lethargy, and emaciation in subacute and subchronic (60 days) exposures. To assess and contrast the potential neurotoxicogenomic effects of these MCs, a Northern bobwhite microarray was developed consisting of 4119 complementary DNA (cDNA) features enriched for differentially-expressed brain transcripts from exposures to RDX and 2,6-DNT. RDX affected hundreds of genes in brain tissue, whereas 2,6-DNT affected few (M-bM-^IM-$ 17), indicating that 2,6-DNT exposure had relatively little impact on the brain in comparison to RDX. Birds exhibiting RDX-induced seizures accumulated over 20M-CM-^W more RDX in brain tissues in comparison to non-seizing birds even within a common dose. In parallel, expression patterns were unrelated among seizing and non-seizing birds exposed to equivalent RDX doses. In birds experiencing seizures, genes related to neuronal electrophysiology and signal transduction were significantly affected. Comparative toxicology revealed strong similarity in acute exposure effects between RDX and the organochlorine insecticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) regarding both molecular mechanisms and putative mode of action. In a manner similar to DDT, we hypothesize that RDX elicits seizures by inhibition of neuronal cell repolarization postaction potential leading to heightened neuronal excitability and seizures facilitated by multiple molecular mechanisms. Northern Bobwhite 60 Day 2,6-DNT Exposure, Brain Tissue Investigation (High Laser Intensity Scan): Juvenile male and female Northern bobwhite (12 weeks of age) were dosed with 2,6-DNT by daily gavage (0, 5, 10, 40, or 60 mg/kg/day). Each treatment group included 12 replicates per sex. Microarray experiments were conducted in a balanced interwoven-loop design using Cyanine-3 (Cy3) and A647. This experiment investigated the 60-day 2,6-DNT exposure comparing controls and the highest affective 2,6-DNT dose (60 mg/kg/day) in males and females, with all groups including three biological replicates for a total of 24 microarrays. To broaden signal detection, each microarray was scanned at high and low laser power to resolve low-intensity spots and reduce signal saturation, respectively (Skibbe et al., 2006). This dataset represents the High Intensity Scan.
