Project description:In order to evaluate the identification of genes and pathways, the global gene expression profiles were assessed in response to three chemicals (benzene (B), toluene (T), formaldehyde (F)) on Drosophila melanogaster. We performed whole genome DNA microarray experiments with subsequent quantitative analysis conducted on selected genes. We used young adults of D. melanogaster exposed to B, T, or F, and whole genome microarrays to screen for global changes in D. melanogaster transcription profiles. Young adult flies were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:In order to evaluate the identification of genes and pathways, the global gene expression profiles were assessed in response to three chemicals (benzene (B), toluene (T), formaldehyde (F)) individually and as a BTF mix on the soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. We performed whole genome DNA microarray experiments with subsequent quantitative analysis conducted on selected genes. We used synchronized C. elegans populations exposed to B, T, F or a BTF mix, and whole genome microarrays to screen for global changes in C. elegans transcription profiles. Young adults of C. elegans were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Anaerobic activation of benzene is expected to represent a novel biochemistry of environmental significance but research into the mechanisms has been stymied by a lack of a genetically tractable pure culture which unequivocally does not use molecular oxygen to activate benzene. Geobacter metallireducens grew in a medium in which benzene was the sole electron donor and Fe(III) was the sole electron acceptor with a stoichiometry of benzene loss and Fe(III) reduction consistent with benzene oxidation to carbon dioxide coupled with Fe(III) reduction. Phenol labeled with 18O was produced when the medium was labeled with H218O, as expected for a true anaerobic conversion of benzene to phenol. Gene expression patterns indicated that benzene was metabolized through a phenol intermediate rather than benzoate or toluene. Deletion of ppcB, which encodes a subunit of the phenylphosphate carboxylase, an enzyme required for phenol metabolism, inhibited metabolism of benzene. Deleting genes specific for benzoate or toluene metabolism did not. Comparison of gene expression patterns in cells grown on benzene versus cells grown on phenol revealed genes specifically expressed in benzene-grown cells. Deletion of one of these, Gmet_3376, inhibited anaerobic benzene oxidation, but not the metabolism of phenol, benzoate, or toluene. The availability of a genetically tractable pure culture that can anaerobically convert benzene to phenol with oxygen derived from water should significantly accelerate elucidation of the mechanisms by which benzene can be activated in the absence of molecular oxygen. Total RNA from three separate cultures of G. metallireducens grown with 250 µM benzene three separate cultures of G. metallireducens grown with 500 µM phenol three separate cultures of G. metallireducens grown with 1 mM benzoate three separate cultures of G. metallireducens grown with 500 µM toluene three separate cultures of G. metallireducens grown with 10 mM acetate were used to study [1] Anaerobic oxidation of benzene by G. metallireducens (Benzene vs. acetate, Benzene vs. benzoate, Benzene vs. phenol, Benzene vs. toluene) [2] Anaerobic oxidation of benzoate by G. metallireducens (Benzoate vs. acetate) [3] Anaerobic oxidation of phenol by G. metallireducens (Phenol vs. acetate) [4] Anaerobic oxidation of toluene by G. metallireducens (Toluene vs. acetate) Each chip measures the expression level of 3,627 genes from G. metallireducens DSM 7210 with nine 45-60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:Benzene, a natural component of petroleum products, is a known hematotoxic and leukemogenic agent. The haematotoxic effect and excess leukemia has been reported below 1 ppm, an exposure level previously considered not to cause any health effects. Gene expression studies suggest that benzene affects genes involved in AML and immune response pathways in a supra-linear manner, and at exposure levels as low as 0.1 ppm benzene. An increased risk of haematopoietic malignancies and altered gene expression also at exposure below 1 ppm is compatible with the emerging knowledge of a non-linear metabolism of benzene, favouring production of a greater proportion of toxic metabolites in subjects exposed to benzene concentrations below 1 ppm than in heavily exposed workers. In the present study, we investigated whether workers found to have a dose-dependent decline in relevant immune cells after benzene-exposure deviated from the unexposed referents in global gene expression changes in whole blood samples, and whether any pathways or genes previously reported in similar low-dose gene expression studies were differentially affected. The study population comprised eight benzene-exposed petroleum workers and five referents deemed unexposed to benzene recruited from the catering section on the same offshore installation (for sampling strategy, see sampling protocol). The two groups significantly differed in age. The dataset was therefore balanced for age by excluding workers at age <35 and >55 in the data modelling to identify significant genes.

Project description:Anaerobic benzene oxidation coupled to the reduction of Fe(III) was studied in Ferroglobus placidus in order to learn more about how such a stable molecule could be metabolized under strict anaerobic conditions. F. placidus conserved energy to support growth at 85°C in a medium with benzene provided as the sole electron donor and Fe(III) as the sole electron acceptor. The stoichiometry of benzene loss and Fe(III) reduction, as well as the conversion of [14C]-benzene to [14C]-carbon dioxide, was consistent with complete oxidation of benzene to carbon dioxide with electron transfer to Fe(III). Benzoate, but not phenol or toluene, accumulated at low levels during benzene metabolism and [14C]-benzoate was produced from [14C]-benzene. Analysis of gene transcript levels revealed increased expression of genes encoding enzymes for anaerobic benzoate degradation during growth on benzene versus growth on acetate, but genes involved in phenol degradation were not up-regulated during growth on benzene. A gene for a putative carboxylase that was more highly expressed in benzene- versus benzoate-grown cells was identified. These results suggest that benzene is carboxylated to benzoate and that phenol is not an important intermediate in the benzene metabolism of F. placidus. This is the first demonstration of a microorganism in pure culture that can grow on benzene under strict anaerobic conditions and for which there is strong evidence for degradation of benzene via clearly defined anaerobic metabolic pathways. Thus, F. placidus provides a much needed pure culture model for further studies on the anaerobic activation of benzene in microorganisms. A six-chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of Ferroglobus placidus DSM 10642 grown with 1 mM benzene (experimental condition) and three separate cultures of Ferroglobus placidus DSM 10642 grown on 0.5 mM phenol (control condition). Each chip measures the expression level of 2,613 genes from Ferroglobus placidus DSM 10642 with nine 45-60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
