RAW264.7 gene expression after exposure to 1-50ug/ml AF-SWCNT-24 hours

ABSTRACT: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are being explored and used for a wide range of applications in industrial and medical sectors, and the increasing exposure of SWCNTs necessitate the studies of their potential environmental and health effects. Considerable efforts have been made to improve the dispersion of SWCNTs by chemical modifications. The present study was designed to determine if the acid functionalization of SWCNTs enhanced the toxicity and more efforts were made to understand the molecular mechanisms. RAW264.7 cells were exposed to 0-100μg/mL of SWCNTs and AF-SWCNTs for 24 hours and cell proliferation, viability, and gene expression profiles were assessed and compared. Results showed that the magnitude of AF-SWCNT-induced cell proliferation inhibition was higher than that of SWCNTs. 10μg/mL of AF-SWCNTs was determined as non-toxic to cells by viability analysis. AF-SWCNTs could enter and aggregate in cell cytoplasm and nuclear areas. Microarray, real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) demonstrated that AF-SWCNTs (1, 10, and 50μg/mL) altered gene and protein expression patterns. The most differentially expressed genes were related to pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (such as CCL-3 and CCL-4), apoptosis (e.g., Caspase-1, -4, and Dffa), protective response (such as Hmox-1and GSTM3), and cell surface molecules such as ICAM-1, Itgb2, indicating a possible involvement of SWCNT in inflammation, anti-apoptotic and DNA fragmentation, carcinogenesis and biased T cell polarization. Furthermore, a substantial amount of down-regulated genes were found related to ribosomal assembly and mitochondrial respiration chain, implicating a possible mechanism of SWCNT-induced oxidative stress and gene expression inhibition. RAW264.7 gene expression after exposure to 1-50ug/ml AF-SWCNT-24 hours. 0ug/ml of AF-SWCNT was used as control sample. The data were obtained from three biological replicates.

Project description:Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most attractive nanomaterials that have many potential applications in industrial, medical, and environmental sectors. To investigate the toxic effect of single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) on the immune system, we examined the influences of SWCNTs (depleted of metal impurities) on viability and global gene expression in murine macrophages. RAW264.7 Cells were exposed to various concentrations of SWCNTs, and cell viability was analyzed at various time points using WST-1 assay. SWCNT cytotoxicity in macrophages was concentration and time dependent, with significant viability loss occurring within 4 hr at 50Î¼g/ml SWCNT exposure. As low as 1Î¼g/ml SWCNTs reduced cell viability at 12 hr, whereas 50Î¼g/ml SWCNT exposure completely abolished cell proliferation. Laser confocal microscopy indicated that SWCNTs could enter and aggregate in cell cytoplasm and nuclear areas. Microarray, real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that SWCNT altered gene and protein expression pattern. The most differentially expressed genes were related to proinflammatroy cytokines and chemokine, such as CCL-3 and CCL-4, apoptosis (e.g., Caspase-1, and -3), protective response such as Hmox-1and GSTM3) and cell surface molecules such as ICAM-1, Itgb2, indicating a possible involvement of SWCNT in inflammation and pulmonary granuloma formation, carcinogenesis and Th2 polarization of T cells. Furthermore, a substantial amount of down-regulated genes were related to ribosomal assembly and mitochondrial respiration chain, implicating a possible mechanism of SWCNT-induced oxidative stress and gene expression inhibition. The results are a first step in identifying molecular targets for the toxicity of SWCNTs and the elucidating of the molecular mechanisms for the immune modulation ability of SWCNTs. Cells were exposure to 50ug/ml of acid-functionzalized SWCNTs for 24 hours before gene expression profiling, cells without SWCNT exposure were used as control.

Project description:Background. The bacterial foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of acute gastroenteritis and is also associated with the postinfectious neuropathies, Guillain-BarrÃ© and Miller Fisher syndromes. This study described the use of multilocus sequence typing and DNA microarrays to examine the genetic content of a collection of South African C. jejuni strains, recovered from patients with enteritis, Guillain-BarrÃ© or Miller Fisher syndromes. Methodology/Principal Findings. The comparative genomic analysis by using multilocus sequence typing and DNA microarrays demonstrated that the South African strains with Penner heat-stable (HS) serotype HS:41 were clearly distinct from the other South African strains. Further analysis of the DNA microarray data demonstrated that the serotype HS:41 strains from South African GBS and enteritis patients are highly similar in gene content. Interestingly, the South African HS:41 strains were distinct in gene content when compared to serotype HS:41 strains from other geographical locations due to the presence of genomic islands, referred to as Campylobacter jejuni integrated elements. Only the genomic integrated element CJIE1, a Campylobacter Mu-like prophage, was present in the South African HS:41 strains whereas absent in the closely-related HS:41 strains from Mexico. A more distantly-related HS:41 strain from Canada possessed both genomic integrated elements CJIE1 and CJIE2. Conclusion/Significance. These findings demonstrated that these C. jejuni integrated elements may contribute to the differentiation of closely-related C. jejuni strains. In addition, the presence of bacteriophage-related genes in CJIE1 may probably contribute to increasing the genomic diversity of these C. jejuni strains. This comparative genomic analysis of the foodborne pathogen C. jejuni provides fundamental information that potentially could lead to improved methods for analyzing the epidemiology of disease outbreaks and their sources. The genomic diversity of 33 South African, 2 Mexican and 1 Canadian Campylobacter jejuni strains from humans were examined by microarray-based comparative genomic indexing (CGI) analysis. The CGI analysis allowed the assessment of CDS content for each C. jejuni strain relative to the C. jejuni DNA microarray, which comprises ORFs from strains NCTC 11168, RM1221. ORFs were spotted in duplicate. Genomic DNA from strains NCTC 11168/RM1221 were used as a reference DNA and competitively hybridized with genomic DNA from each of the other C. jejuni strains. Two or three replicates for each strain were performed. Data normalization was performed as in Parker et al. J Clin Microbiol 2006, 44(11):4125-4135.
