Project description:Hexavalent chromium compounds are well-established respiratory carcinogens utilized in industrial processes. While inhalation exposure constitutes an occupational risk affecting mostly chromium workers, environmental exposure from drinking water is a widespread gastrointestinal carcinogen, affecting millions of people throughout the world. Cr(VI) is genotoxic, by forming protein-Cr-DNA adducts and silencing tumor suppressor genes, but its mechanism of action at the molecular level is poorly understood. We have used FAIRE to show that Cr(VI) elicits broad changes in chromatin accessibility resulting from disruption of the binding of transcription factors CTCF and AP-1 to their cognate sites in chromatin. Here, we have used two complementary approaches to test the hypothesis that chromium perturbs chromatin organization and dynamics. DANPOS2 analyses of MNase.seq data identified several chromatin alterations induced by Cr(VI) affecting nucleosome architecture, including occupancy changes at specific genome locations; position shifts of 10 nucleotides or more; and fuzziness, or changes in signal amplitude. Using ATAC to analyze changes in chromatin accessibility, we found that Cr(VI) opened differentially accessible chromatin domains in a dose-dependent manner. These domains were enriched for the previously identified binding motifs for CTCF and AP-1, many located in promoters of differentially expressed genes. Cr(VI)-enriched CTCF sites were confirmed by ChIP.seq and, when compared with ENCODE-validated CTCF site datasets from mouse liver, correlated with evolutionarily conserved similar sites occupied in vivo. Our results show that Cr(VI) exposure promotes broad changes in chromatin accessibility and suggest that the subsequent dysregulation of transcription may result from the disruption of CTCF binding and nucleosome spacing, suggesting that transcription regulatory mechanisms are primary Cr(VI) targets.

Project description:Significant occupational and environmental exposures to hexavalent chromium, a metal with broad toxicity potential in humans, have been reported. In order to understand the mechanisms of dermal toxicity induced by hexavalent chromium, global gene expression profiling of human dermal fibroblasts exposed to a toxic concentration of potassium dichromate was performed. Microarray analysis of the gene expression profile in the fibroblasts treated with potassium dichromate identified significant differential expression of approximately 1,200 transcripts compared with the control cells. Hierarchical cluster analysis of the gene expression profile demonstrated a clear separation of the treated cells from the control group of cells. Functional categorization of the differentially expressed genes identified the enrichment of genes involved in several cellular processes, including apoptosis and oxidative stress, in the fibroblasts exposed to hexavalent chromium. Induction of apoptosis and generation of hydroxyl radicals indicative of oxidative stress in the dermal fibroblasts in response to their exposure to hexavalent chromium were independently confirmed by TUNEL assay and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis, respectively. The potassium dichromate-induced cytotoxicity, differential gene expression, apoptosis, and oxidative stress were significantly blocked by the addition of ferrous sulfate, an agent known for its ability to reduce hexavalent chromium to the insoluble and therefore impermeable trivalent form, to the cell culture medium. Taken together, our data provide insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the dermal toxicity of hexavalent chromium and suggest a definite role for apoptosis and oxidative stress in Cr(VI)-induced cytotoxicity in human dermal fibroblasts.

Taken together, our data provide insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the dermal toxicity of hexavalent chromium and suggest a definite role for apoptosis and oxidative stress in Cr(VI)-induced cytotoxicity in human dermal fibroblasts. 16 samples were analyzed in this experiment. Exponentially growing human dermal fibroblasts (3x105 cells) were cultured in T25 cell culture flasks. When the cells were approximately 70% confluent, hexavalent potassium dichromate (5µM) was added to the medium with or without 40µM ferrous sulfate. Following 16 hours of culturing at 37oC, total RNA was isolated for gene expression studies. Details of the samples are: Control 4 Samples: Cr(0)-1, Cr(0)-2, Cr(0)-3, Cr(0)-4 Cr 5 µM 4 Samples: Cr(5)-5, Cr(5)-6, Cr(5)-7, Cr(5)-8 FeSO4 40 µM 4 Samples: Fe(40)-9, Fe(40)-10, Fe(40)-11, Fe(40)-12 Cr 5 µM + FeSO4 40 µM 4 Samples: Cr(5)+Fe(40)-13,Cr(5)+Fe(40)-14, Cr(5)+Fe(40)-15, Cr(5)+Fe(40)-16
