Comparisons of toxicogenomic responses in zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed to different sized AgNPs: The impact of size on global gene expression profiles

ABSTRACT: To investigate the patterns of global gene expression profiles modulated by the different sized AgNPs and to differentiate their modes of toxicity, zebrafish (Danio rerio) will be exposed to the AgNPs (50, and 150nm) and used for microarray analysis by Agilent Zebrafish Oligo Microarray system. 334 genes overlaped between AgNPs and Ag+ treatments in a total of 7,538 differential expressed genes. Immune response, antigen processing and presentation, response to estradiol stimulus and regulation of RNA metabolic process are most significant GO terms enriched in genes up regulated by four treatments. Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway was enriched among AgNP 50nm and AgNP 150nm activated genes, and specifically induced by AgNP 50nm include cell cycle and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. The zebrafish larvae (72hpf) was exposed to AgNPs for 96hour. And then after total RNA extration from the each samples, the AgNPs related gene expression profiles identified using Agilent Zebrafish Oligo Microarray. Significant alterations in gene expression were found for all treatments and many of the gene pathways connected.

Project description:Nanoparticles are compounds of emerging concern with largely unknown risks for human and ecological health. It is crucial to evaluate their potential biological impact to prevent unintended adverse effects on human health and the environment. We analyzed the transcriptional effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) on the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to understand their potential toxicity and adverse outcomes. We also tested the feasibility of the fathead minnow as an alternative species to elucidate potential adverse effects on humans. Fathead minnow females were exposed to either 4 Âµg/L of AgNO3 or 70 Âµg/L of PVP-AgNPs for 96h. Microarray analyses were performed on liver and brain. Functional analysis identified potential toxicity pathways and molecular initiating events (MIEs) that were confirmed with functional assays. Data suggested that AgNO3 and PVP-AgNPs had both common and distinct transcriptional effects. The nanoparticles were linked to neurotoxicity and oxidative stress, and identified as a dopamine receptor antagonist. Silver nitrate was also identified as a potential neurotoxicant and was confirmed as adrenergic and cannabinoid receptors antagonist. While silver nitrate and PVP-AgNPs were both potential neurotoxicants, they appeared to act through different MIEs. Fathead minnow is a promising alternative species to elucidate potential adverse effects of relevance to human health. We analyzed the transcriptional effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) on the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to understand their potential toxicity and adverse outcomes. FHM were obtained from Aquatic Biosystems (Fort Collins, CO), held in aerated dechlorinated tap water and fed three times daily with ZeiglerÂ® AquaTox Feed Gardners, PA, USA). Fathead minnow females were exposed to either 4 Âµg/L of AgNO3 or 70 Âµg/L of PVP-AgNPs (Luna Innovations, Blackburn, VA) for 96h at 24Â°C Â± 1 with a 90% water change at 48 hours. Microarray analyses were performed on liver and brain.

Project description:The mode of action of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is suggested to be exerted through both Ag+ and AgNP dependent mechanisms. Ingestion is one of the major NP exposure routes, and potential effects are often studied using Caco-2 cells, a well-established model for the gut epithelium. MCF-7 cells are epithelial breast cancer cells with extensive well-characterized toxicogenomics profiles. In the present study we aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the cellular molecular responses in Caco-2 and MCF-7 cells after AgNP exposure in order to evaluate whether epithelial cells derived from different tissues demonstrated similar responses. These insights could possibly reduce the size of cell panels for NP hazard identification screening purposes. AgNPs of 20, 30, 60, and 110 nm, and AgNO3 were exposed for 6h and 24h. AgNPs were shown to be taken up and dissolve intracellularly. Compared with MCF-7 cells, Caco-2 cells showed a higher sensitivity to AgNPs, slower gene expression kinetics, and absence of NP size-dependent responses. However, on a molecular level, no significant differences were observed between the two cell types. Transcriptomic analysis showed that Ag(NP) exposure caused (oxidative) stress responses, possibly leading to cell death in both cell lines. There was no indication for effects specifically induced by AgNPs. Responses to AgNPs appeared to be induced by silver ions released from the AgNPs. In conclusion, differences in mRNA responses to AgNPs between Caco-2 and MCF-7 cells were mainly related to timing and magnitude, but not to a different underlying mechanism. In total 73 samples are analyzed (24 different samples all n=3; except for 1 sample with n=4). Twelve of the 24 different samples are extracted from Caco-2 cells, 6 samples at t=6h and 6 at t=24h The other 12 different of the 24 samples are extracted from MCF-7 cells, 6 samples at t=6h and 6 at t=24h For each cell type and each timepoint one of the 6 samples was a negative control sample
