Transcriptome analysis of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) digestive gland after exposure to different concentrations of ibuprofen.

ABSTRACT: A Ruditapes philippinarum microarray platform was developed to identify digestive gland gene expression profiles in response to 100 Âµg /l and 1000 Âµg/l ibuprofen exposure. A comparative analysis of gene expression was conducted in Manila clam R.philippinarum exposed to ibuprofen.Clams were exposed for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days to 0, 100 and 1000 Âµg IBU/l, and digestive gland gene expression were measured. Gene expression profiling was performed using an Manila clam-specific oligo-DNA microarray of 14,156 probes based on single-colour detection (Cyanine-3 only). Microarrays were scanned with Agilent scanner G2565BA (barcode on the left, DNA on the back surface, scanned through the glass) at a resolution of 5 microns; all slides were scanned twice at two different sensitivity settings (XDRHi 100% and XDRLo 10%); the scanner software created a unique ID for each pair of XDR scans and saved it to both scan image files. Feature Extraction (FE) 9.5 used XDR ID to link the pairs of scans together automatically when extracting data. The signal left after all the FE processing steps have been completed is ProcessedSignal that contains the Multiplicatively Detrended, Background-Subtracted Signal.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) digestive gland tissue comparing control tissue with tissue obtained from animals exposed for four days to sublethal amounts of Nickel, Chlorpyrifos, or their mixture. Background: Mixtures of chemicals present in aquatic environments may elicit toxicity due to additive or synergistic effects among the constituents or ‘vice versa’ the adverse outcome may be reduced by antagonistic interactions. Deviations from additivity should be explained either by the perturbations of toxicokinetic parameters and/or chemical toxicodynamics. We addressed this important question in marine mussels exposed subchronically to a binary mixture made of two wide-spread pollutants: the heavy metal Nickel and the organic phosphorus pesticide Chlorpyrifos. To this aim, we proposed the use of a systems approach based on the evaluation and integration of different disciplines, i.e. high throughput gene expression profiling, functional genomics, stress biomakers and toxicokinetics. Results: Stress biomarkers showed statistically significant antagonistic deviations from the reference model systems to predict mixture toxicity which are based either on simple additivity or non-interaction. While toxicokinetic modeling did not explain mixture interactions, gene expression profiling and further functional genomics analysis provided clues that the decrement of toxicity may arise from the development of specific toxicodynamics. Multivariate statistics of microarray and quantitative PCR data showed two separate patterns for the single chemicals and a composite complex profile for the mixture suggesting the occurrence of interactive molecular responses. The latter signature accounted for differentially expressed genes whose relative expression values were either in trend or in contrast with those found due to single substance treatments and a relevant set of sequences which were exclusive of the mixture gene list. Conclusion: The functional genomics assessment fits with biological data to indicate the occurrence of different toxicodynamic events and ‘in general’ a decrease of toxicity, driven by the mitigation or even abolishment of lysosomal responses such as the lipid metabolic disorder observed exclusively in single chemical-exposed samples. Furthermore, our results emphasized the importance of the application of mechanistic approaches and the power of systems assessment to study toxicological responses in ecological relevant organisms.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) digestive gland tissue comparing control tissue with tissue obtained from animals exposed to sublethal amounts of Chlorpyrifos, animals injected into the posterior adductor muscle with 25 pico-moles 17β-estradiol (E2) and animals pre-exposed for three days to the pesticide and further injected with E2. Background: Many pesticides have been shown to act as endocrine disrupters. Although the potencies of currently used pesticides as hormone agonists/antagonists in vitro are low compared with those of natural ligands, their ability to act via multiple mechanisms might enhance the biological effect. The organophosphate Chlorpyrifos (CHP) has been shown to be weakly estrogenic and cause adverse neurodevelopmental effects in mammals. However, no information is available on the possible endocrine effects of CHP in aquatic organisms. In the digestive gland of the bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis, a target tissue for the action of both estrogens and pesticides, the possible effects of CHP on the responses to the natural estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2) were investigated. Methodology/Principal findings: Mussels were exposed to CHP (4.5 mg/l, 72 hrs) and subsequently injected with E2 (6.75 ng/g dw). Responses were evaluated in CHP, E2 and CHP/E2 treatment groups at 24 h p.i. by a biomarker/transcriptomic approach. CHP and E2 induced additive, synergistic, and antagonistic effects on lysosomal biomarkers (lysosomal membrane stability, lysosome/cytoplasm volume ratio, lipofuscin and neutral lipid accumulation). Additive and synergistic effects were also observed on the expression of estrogen-responsive genes (GSTπ, catalase and 5-HTR) evaluated by RT-Q-PCR. The use of a 1.7K cDNA Mytilus microarray showed that CHP, E2 and CHP/E2, induced 81, 44, and 65 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs), respectively. 24 genes were exclusively shared between CHP and CHP/E2, only 2 genes between E2 and CHP/E2. Moreover, 36 genes were uniquely modulated by CHP/E2. Gene ontology annotation was used to elucidate the putative mechanisms involved in the responses elicited by different treatments. Conclusions: The results show complex interactions between CHP and E2 in mussel digestive gland, indicating that the combination of certain pesticides and hormones may give rise to unexpected effects at the molecular/cellular level. Overall, these data demonstrate that CHP can interfere with the mussel responses to natural estrogens. Four-condition experiment. Dual color competitive hybridizations.
