Project description:DNA-damage inducible 1 homolog 2 (DDI2) is an aspartic protease that cleaves and activates the transcription factor NRF1. Cellular models have shown that this pathway contributes to cell-stress adaption, for example, upon proteasome inhibition. However, DDI2 physiological function is unknown. Ddi2 Knock-out (KO) mice are embryonic lethal. However, we found that liver-specific Ddi2-KO animals are viable. We used comprehensive genetic analysis to identify the molecular pathways regulated by DDI2. We show that DDI2 mediates metallothionein (MT) expression in mouse and human hepatocytes in response to cadmium (Cd). Cd exposure inhibits the proteasome activity, resulting in NRF1 accumulation in the cytoplasm, followed by cleavage by DDI2 and translocation to the nucleus to activate MTs. Depleting DDI2 or NRF1 by CRISPR/Cas9 impaired MTs activation and sensitized the cells to Cd or cisplatin toxicity. This study identifies a new function for DDI2 that links proteasome homeostasis to heavy metal mediated toxicity.

Project description:Bioassay is a system for monitoring toxicity of chemicals in the environment via the biological responses of experimental organisms. These responses can be detected by analysis of genome-wide changes in mRNA expression levels using DNA microarray. We applied this system for evaluation of synergistic toxicity by cadmium and thiuram, as this combination showed mutual growth inhibition in yeast. Hierarchical cluster analysis using the mRNA expression profiles suggested the response of yeast to this combination is similar to that seen with cadmium treatment. Functional characterization of induced genes by this combination treatment also suggests the enhanced toxicity of cadmium. This toxicity was observed as the damage to mitochondrial functions which were not observed with either cadmium or thiuram treatments alone. The potential toxicity to mitochondria by this combinational treatment was confirmed as the result of mitochondrial curing. We could evaluate the synergistic toxicity by cadmium and thiuram and show the possible use of transcriptome bioassay for synergistic toxicity. Keywords: stress response

Project description:Metals at high concentrations can exert toxic effects on microorganisms. It has been widely reported that lowering environmental pH reduces effects of cadmium toxicity in bacteria. Understanding the effects of pH-mediated cadmium toxicity on bacteria would be useful for minimizing cadmium toxicity in the environment and gaining insight into the interactions between organic and inorganic components of life. Growth curve analysis confirmed that cadmium was less toxic to Escherichia coli at pH 5 than at pH 7 in M9 minimal salts medium. To better understand the cellular mechanisms by which lowering pH decreases cadmium toxicity, we used DNA microarrays to characterize global gene expression patterns in E. coli in response to cadmium exposure at moderately acidic (5) and neutral (7) values of pH. Higher expression of several stress response genes including hdeA, otsA, and yjbJ at pH 5 after only 5 minutes was observed and may suggest that acidic pH more rapidly induces genes that confer cadmium resistance. Genes involved in transport were more highly expressed at pH 7 than at pH 5 in the presence of cadmium. Of the genes that showed an interaction between pH and cadmium effects, 46% encoded hypothetical proteins, which may have novel functions involved in mitigating cadmium toxicity.

Project description:Cadmium is toxic and intricate pathways linked to metallothioneins (MT) drive the detoxification process. Whist the mechanisms are well understood in mammalian systems, detailed knowledge is still elusive in invertebrates (which notably differ to mammalian systems). The model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is ideally suited for assessing metallothionein mediates detoxification in invertebrates as is relatively short-lived, can be easily exposed and its genome is fully sequenced and widely annotated. The aim of the experiment was to identify new MT mediated target genes involved in Cd toxicosis.

Project description:Exposure to cadmium is associated with a variety of human diseases. At low concentrations, cadmium activates the transcription of stress-responsive genes, which can prevent or repair the adverse effects caused by this metal. Using C. elegans, 290 genes were identified that are differentially expressed (≥1.5-fold) following a 4 or 24 hour exposure to cadmium. Several of these genes are known to be involved in metal detoxification, including mtl-1, mtl-2, cdr-1 and ttm-1, confirming the efficacy of the study. The majority, however, were not previously associated with metal-responsiveness and are novel. Gene Ontology analysis mapped these genes to cellular/ion trafficking, metabolic enzymes and proteolysis categories. RNAi-mediated inhibition of 50 cadmium-responsive genes resulted in an increased sensitivity to cadmium toxicity, demonstrating that these genes are involved in the resistance to cadmium toxicity. Several functional protein interacting networks were identified by interactome analysis. Within one network, the signaling protein KEL-8 was identified. Kel-8 protects C. elegans from cadmium toxicity in a mek-1 (MAPKK)-dependent manner. Because many C. elegans genes and signal transduction pathways are evolutionarily conserved, these results may contribute to the understanding of the functional roles of various genes in cadmium toxicity in higher organisms.

Of the genes that showed an interaction between pH and cadmium effects, 46% encoded hypothetical proteins, which may have novel functions involved in mitigating cadmium toxicity. GROWTH CONDITIONS FOR MICROARRAY EXPERIMENTS: Two overnight cultures of E. coli K-12 were started in M9 medium. A 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 mL of M9 medium was inoculated with 0.5 mL for each of the two overnight cultures, each of which was considered a biological replicate. The cultures were grown on a rotary shaker (200 rpm) at 37 °C until the contents of the flask reached an OD600 of 0.3 (mid-log phase of growth). Each culture was divided into four 25 mL aliquots, transferred to 50 mL conical tubes (Corning), and centrifuged at 2540 x g for 12 minutes. The supernatant was decanted, and the cells were resuspended in 25 mL of M9 medium at pH 7 or pH 5 in the presence or absence (two cultures of each) of 5.4 µM (1 µg/mL) total cadmium, added as CdCl2. The cultures were incubated at 25 °C for either 5 or 15 minutes with manual rotation of the flasks once per minute. After the appropriate amount of time, 15 mL of RNAProtect Bacteria Reagent (Qiagen) was added to each culture to immediately halt all metabolic processes. The solutions were vortexed, incubated at 25 °C for 5 minutes, and centrifuged for 12 minutes at 3750 x g. RNA was extracted from the cell pellets immediately following centrifugation. RNA EXTRACTION AND HYBRIDIZATION PROCEDURES: RNA was extracted and purified using a Masterpure RNA purification kit (Epicentre Technologies). The quantity and quality of the RNA samples were determined spectrophotometrically. Preparation of the cDNA, labeling with Cy3 and Cy5, and successive hybridizations were accomplished using a 3DNA Array 900MPX kit following the manufacturer’s protocols (Genisphere) with the following modifications. 3DNA reverse transcriptase enzyme (Genisphere # RT300320) rather than SuperScript II was added to 1 µg of RNA and 2 µL of a random primer (1 µg/µL). The final cDNA hybridization mix contained 29 µL 2X enhanced cDNA hybridization buffer rather than 2X SDS-based hybridization buffer or 2X formamide-based hybridization buffer. The cDNA mix was hybridized to a cDNA microarray printed by the Microarray and Proteomics Facility at the University of Alberta (Operon version 1.0 oligonucleotides). The arrays were scanned with a Versarray ChipReader (BioRad) with laser power at 75%, photomultiplier tube (PMT) sensitivity at 800 V, and detector gain at 1. DATA ANALYSIS: Each array directly compared transcription at pH 5 and pH 7 for a given cadmium treatment (0 or 5.4 µM cadmium) and exposure time. Dye swaps were performed for each biological replicate for each of the following treatments (8 total arrays): 5 minutes with cadmium exposure, 5 minutes without cadmium exposure, 15 minutes with cadmium exposure, and 15 minutes without cadmium exposure. The 0-minute exposure to cadmium treatment was obtained from the 5-minute microarray without cadmium exposure. Spot intensities and locations were determined using TIGR Spotfinder, Version 3.1.1. All subsequent analyses were performed using the ma-anova package in the open-source statistical software package, R (www.r-project.org), Version 2.4.1. The data were normalized using the regional lowess method. Following normalization the median expression values of genes represented in triplicate on each array were determined for each gene. A mixed model two-way ANOVA for the main fixed effects of pH, cadmium, and their interaction (array and spot were the random effects) were performed (using Type III F-tests) separately for each time point to identify genes for which pH and cadmium interacted to significantly affect expression (FDR-adjusted p ? 0.05).

Project description:Cadmium is a natural element that can accumulate to toxic levels in the environment leading to detrimental effects in animals and humans including kidney, liver and lung injuries. Using a transcriptomics approach, genes and cellular pathways affected by a low dose of cadmium were investigated. Adult largemouth bass were intraperitoneally injected with 20 µg/kg of cadmium chloride and microarray analyses were conducted in the liver and testis 48 hours after injection. Transcriptomics profiles identified in response to cadmium treatment were tissue-specific with the most differential expression changes found in the liver tissues, which also contained much higher levels of cadmium than the testes. Acute exposure to a low dose of cadmium induced oxidative stress response and oxidative damage pathways in the liver. The mRNA levels of antioxidants such as catalase increased and numerous transcripts related to DNA damage and DNA repair were significantly altered. Hepatic mRNA levels of metallothionein, a proposed marker of cadmium exposure, showed a small insignificant increase after 48 hours exposure. Carbohydrate metabolic pathways were also disrupted in cadmium-exposed fish with hepatic transcripts such as UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 and sorbitol dehydrogenase highly induced. Both tissues exhibited a disruption of steroid signalling pathways. In the testis, estrogen receptor beta and transcripts linked to cholesterol metabolism were suppressed. On the contrary, genes involved in cholesterol metabolism were highly increased in the liver including genes encoding for the rate limiting steroidogenic acute regulatory protein and the catalytic enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase. Integration of the transcriptomics data using functional enrichment analyses revealed a number of enriched gene networks associated with previously reported adverse outcomes of cadmium exposure such as liver toxicity and impaired reproduction. Adult largemouth bass (n=4 per treatment) were ip injected with a single dose of cadmium chloride (20 ug/kg) or a saline solution. After 48 hours, liver and testis were excised and differential gene expression profiles were examined.

Project description:The toxicity of the heavy metal cadmium is well established. However, the molecular basis for how this toxicity perturbs cellular viability is still not well understood. This project investigates the cellular and molecular impacts of cadmium stress in the bacterial pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae. We find that cadmium depletes cellular manganese and zinc stores, leading to disruption of metalloproteins and the corresponding biochemical pathways. Furthermore, the over-accumulation of cadmium within the cells appears to facilitate mismetallation events, whereby native metal cofactors are displaced by cadmium, leading to reduced or abrogated enzymatic activity. These metalloproteomic analyses have been conducted in conjunction with transcriptomics and metabolomics to elucidate the global impacts of cadmium stress within a prokaryotic organism.
