Transcription profiling of human MSK-Leuk1 cells (a cellular model of oral leukoplakia) after tobacco smoke exposure to

ABSTRACT: In addition to being causally linked to the formation of multiple tumor types, tobacco use has been associated with decreased anticancer treatment efficacy and reduced survival time. A detailed understanding of the cellular mechanisms that are affected by tobacco smoke should facilitate the development of improved preventive and therapeutic strategies. We have investigated the effects of a tobacco smoke (TS) extract on the transcriptome of MSK-Leuk1 cells, a cellular model of oral leukoplakia. Using Affymetrix HGU133 Plus 2 arrays, 411 differentially expressed probesets were identified. The observed transcriptome changes were grouped according to functional information, and translated into molecular interaction network maps and signaling pathways. Pathways related to cellular proliferation, inflammation, apoptosis and tissue injury appeared to be perturbed. Analysis of networks connecting the affected genes identified specific molecular interactions, hubs and key transcription regulators affected by TS. Thus TS was found to induce several EGFR ligands forming an EGFR-centered molecular interaction network, as well as several AhR-dependent genes, including the xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. Notably, the latter findings in vitro are consistent with our parallel finding that levels of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 were increased in oral mucosa of smokers. Collectively, these results offer insights into the mechanisms underlying the procarcinogenic effects of TS and raise the possibility that inhibitors of EGFR or AhR signaling will prevent or delay the development of tobacco smoke-related tumors. Moreover, the inductive effects of TS on xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes may help explain reduced efficacy of chemotherapy, and suggest targets for chemopreventive agents in smokers. Experiment Overall Design: In this study MSK-Leuk1 cells established from a dysplastic leukoplakia lesion adjacent to a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue were exposed to tobacco condensate for 0.5 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr and 24 hr, respectively and compared to untreated controls. Six biological replicates were used at each timepoint for each condition (Control or Tobacco Smoke treated).

Project description:Like tobacco smoking, habitual marijuana smoking causes numerous adverse pulmonary effects. However, the mechanisms of action involved, especially as compared to tobacco smoke, are still unclear. To uncover putative modes of action, this study employed a toxicogenomics approach to compare the toxicological pathways perturbed following exposure to marijuana and tobacco smoke condensate in vitro. Condensates of mainstream smoke from hand-rolled tobacco and marijuana cigarettes were similarly prepared using identical smoking conditions. Murine lung epithelial cells were exposed to low, medium and high concentrations of the smoke condensates for 6 hr. RNA was extracted immediately or after a 4-hr recovery period and hybridized to mouse whole genome microarrays. Tobacco smoke condensate (TSC) exposure was associated with changes in xenobiotic metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage response. These same pathways were also significantly affected following marijuana smoke condensate (MSC) exposure. Although the effects of the condensates were largely similar, dose-response analysis indicates that the MSC is substantially more potent than TSC. In addition, steroid biosynthesis, apoptosis, and inflammation pathways were more significantly affected following MSC exposure, whereas m-phase cell cycle pathways were more significantly affected following TSC exposure. MSC exposure also appeared to elicit more severe oxidative stress than TSC exposure, which may account for the greater cytotoxicity of MSC. This study shows that in general, MSC impacts many of the same molecular processes as TSC. However, subtle pathway differences can provide insight into the differential toxicities of the two complex mixtures. Murine epithelial lung cells were exposed to tobacco smoke condensates (0, 25, 50, 90 Î¼g/ml) or marijuana smoke condensates (0, 2.5, 5, 10 Î¼g/ml) in serum-free medium for a six hour period. Following the six-hour exposure, cells were either harvested immediately or washed with phosphate-buffered saline and incubated in fresh serum-free medium for a four hour recovery period. Total RNA was extracted from the cells and hybridized against Universal Mouse Reference RNA (Agilent Technologies Canada, Inc.) to Agilent whole mouse genome microarray slides containing 44,000 transcripts. A LOWESS normalization was applied to expression results, and statistically significant genes were identified using the R library MAANOVA. Microarray results were validated by real time RT-PCR.
