Project description:Polar cod, a key fish species in the arctic marine foodweb is vulnerable to effects of pollution from offshore petroleum related activities in the Arctic and sub-arctic region. The study was conducted to map transcriptome responses to in Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) liver slice culture exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence or absence of physiological levels of ethynylestradiol (EE2). BaP is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), also found in crude oil contaminants. PAHs such as BaP are among the most toxic compounds of crude oil. Precision-cut liver slice cultures from five female polar cod (n = 5/ group, paired design) were exposed to BaP alone (10 µM), or in combination with low concentrations of EE2 (5 nM), to mimic physiological estradiol levels in early vitellogenic female fish. Transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq) was performed after 72 h exposure in culture. The results provide a global view of transcriptome responses to BaP, EE2 and their mixture. In the mixture exposure, BaP resulted attenuation of EE2 stimulated gene expression (anti-estrogenic effects). The results from this ex vivo experiment suggest that pollutants that activate the Ahr pathway such as the PAH compound BaP can result in anti-estrogenic effects that may lead to endocrine disruption in polar cod.

Project description:Frankincense oil is prepared from aromatic hardened wood resin obtained by tapping Boswellia trees. For thousands of years, it has been important both socially and economically as an ingredient in incense and perfumes. Frankincense oil is a botanical oil distillate made from fermented plants that contains boswellic acid, a component known to have anti-neoplastic properties. We evaluated frankincense oil-induced cytotoxicity in bladder cancer cells. With a window of concentration, frankincense oil suppressed cell viability and induced cytotoxicity in bladder transitional carcinoma J82 cells but not normal bladder urothelial UROtsa cells immortalized with SV40 large T antigen. However, frankincense oil-induced J82 cell death did not result in DNA fragmentation. Microarray and bioinformatics analysis confirmed that frankincense oil activated cell cycle arrest, suppressed cell proliferation, and activated apoptosis in J82 cells through a series of potential pathways. These finding suggest that bladder cancer can be treated through intravesical administration of pharmaceutical agents similar to direct application on melanoma. 2E05 J82 cells were untreated or treated with a 1/1000 dilution of frankincense oil for 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 hours prior to RNA extraction.

Project description:Accidental spills of chemical or oil tankers such as Levoli Sun or Prestige have recently impacted the European seas. The analysis of the genes regulated by exposure to spilled chemical substances could help elucidating adaptatory and compensatory pathways that may participate in pathogenesis in marine biota. Hepatic expression profiles of male juvenile S. maximus exposed to a nº2 fuel-oil (FO) and to styrene were studied employing a turbot custom microarray containing 2715 3â-UTR biassed single-sequences, many of them unannotated. Hybridisations identified 169 and 293 genes significantly regulated after 3 and 14 days of exposure to FO, respectively. Typical PAH responsive genes such as AhRR, ARNT2, CYP1A1 and GST were significantly upregulated. Exposure significantly affected genes involved in protein metabolism, synthesis being the most regulated pathway with ribosomal proteins and various translation factors overexpressed. Protein synthesis could participate in compensatory pathways after FO induced protein damage. Additionally, two weeks of exposure resulted in the upregulation of ras pathway genes. Regarding styrene, gene expression was very variable within experimental groups and only 2 genes were significantly regulated after 3 days of exposure. After 1 week of exposure styrene modified the expression levels of 44 genes. Most highly regulated genes, that may constitute new biomarkers of exposure to styrene, included those coding for estrogen-responsive finger protein, transmembrane 9 superfamily member 4 or selenoprotein-T, but the only pathway found to be significantly regulated was once again that of protein synthesis. Funded EU project PRAGMA, Spanish MEC (CANCERMAR), Basque Government (Consolidated Research Groups GIC07/26-IT-393-07). Turbots were exposed to fuel-oil and to seawater control: 7 turbots in Control tank and 8 in Oiled tank. After 3 days of exposure turbots were in situ dissected and liver was extracted, inmersed in RNAlater and frozen in liquid N2

Project description:Contamination of aquatic ecosystems with anthropogenic pollutants, including pharmaceutical drugs, is a major concern worldwide. Fish are particularly at risk of exposure to pollutants but their impacts on mineralized fish tissues, particularly the scales that form a barrier between the fish and the environment, are poorly understood. The proteome data here presented support the findings reported in the associated research article “Disruption of the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) skin-scale by estradiol and fluoxetine, an emerging pollutant”. Juvenile sea basses were exposed by intraperitoneal injections to: a) the antidepressant fluoxetine (FLX), a widely prescribed psychotropic drug and an emerging pollutant; b) the natural estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2) and c) coconut oil alone (control). The scale proteome profiles of fish exposed to these compounds for 5 days were analysed by the quantitative label-free proteomics technology SWATH-MS (Sequential Windowed data-independent Acquisition of the Total High-resolution-Mass Spectra). LC-MS data from pooled protein extracts from the scales of all experimental groups were acquired using information-dependent acquisition (IDA), which allowed the identification of 1,254 proteins through searches against the sea bass genome database. 715 proteins were confidently quantified by SWATH acquisition, from which 213 proteins had modified levels (p<0.05) between E2- or FLX-exposed fish and control. The main biological processes and KEGG pathways affected by E2 or FLX treatments were identified using Cytoscape/ClueGO enrichment analyses.

Project description:Provided later Pregnant Fisher 344 rats will be purchased from Charles River Laboratories, Inc. and delivered to CIIT on gestational day (GD) 7 (GD0 = day first vaginal plug positive). At gestational day 12 (GD12), the dams will be exposed once/day until GD20 to 50 mg/kg dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in corn oil vehicle via oral gavage. Each dose group will contain 4-6 vehicle control or phthalate treated dams. Groups of animals will be sacrificed at GD20, postnatal day (PND) 35, and PND90 for endpoint analysis. At GD20, treated and control animals will be examined for various endpoints including body weight, testicular histopathology, gene expression profile via microarray analysis, and anogenital distance (AGD). AGD (at parturition; PND1) and nipple number/location (at PND14 and day of sacrifice) will be determined on animals in the postnatal groups. At PND35 or 90, one male from each in utero corn oil vehicle or DBP exposed group will receive a second gavage of either corn oil or 500 mg/kg DBP. 6 hours after the second gavage, the following endpoints will be examined: 1) testis histopathology; 2) spermatid head quantification (PND90 only); 3) testis and body weights; 5) genome-wide gene expression (via microarray); and 6) germ cell apoptosis (TUNEL assay).

Project description:In rodent models, phthalate exposure alters both the fetal and pubertal testis, but the resulting histopathological changes are divergent. This suggests that the underlying molecular and cellular phthalate mechanism may be age-dependent. Using genome-wide expression profiling of acutely-exposed rats, the initial molecular response in pubertal rat testis following in vivo phthalate exposure was determined. For this study, postnatal day 28 rats were exposed to a single dose of 1 g/kg mono-(2-ethyl)hexyl phthalate (MEHP) and assayed at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 hrs thereafter using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays. Experiment Overall Design: At each timepoint, testes from 3 treated and 3 control (corn oil gavage) were analzyed.

Project description:The primary goal of toxicology and safety testing is to identify agents that have the potential to cause adverse effects in humans. Unfortunately, many of these tests have not changed significantly in the past 30 years and most are inefficient, costly, and rely heavily on the use of animals. The rodent cancer bioassay is one of these safety tests and was originally established as a screen to identify potential carcinogens that would be further analyzed in human epidemiological studies. Today, the rodent cancer bioassay has evolved into the primary means to determine the carcinogenic potential of a chemical and generate quantitative information on dose-response behavior in chemical risk assessments. Due to the resource-intensive nature of these studies, each bioassay costs $2 to $4 million and takes over three years to complete. Over the past 30 years, only 1,468 chemicals have been tested in a rodent cancer bioassay. By comparison, approximately 9,000 chemicals are used by industry in quantities greater than 10,000 lbs and nearly 90,000 chemicals have been inventoried by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of the Toxic Substances Control Act. Given the disparity between the number of chemicals tested in a rodent cancer bioassay and the number of chemicals used by industry, a more efficient and economical system of identifying chemical carcinogens needs to be developed. Experiment Overall Design: Five-week old female B6C3F1 mice were exposed for 13 weeks in the following dose groups: 1) 1,5-Naphthalenediamine, CAS No. 2243-62-1, feed, 2000 ppm, positive lung carcinogen; 2) 2,3-Benzofuran, CAS No. 271-89-6, gavage, 240 mg/kg, positive lung carcinogen; 3) 2,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-propanediol, CAS No. 3296-90-0, feed, 1250 ppm, positive lung carcinogen; 4) N-Methylolacrylamide, CAS No. 924-42-5, gavage (water), 50 mg/kg, positive lung carcinogen; 5) 1,2-Dibromoethane, CAS No. 106-93-4, gavage (corn oil), 62 mg/kg, positive lung carcinogen; 6) Coumarin, CAS No. 91-64-5, gavage (corn oil), 200 mg/kg, positive lung carcinogen; 7) Benzene, CAS No. 71-43-2, gavage (corn oil), 100 mg/kg, positive lung carcinogen; 8) N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride, CAS No. 1465-25-4, feed, 2000 ppm, negative lung carcinogen; 9) Pentachloronitrobenzene, CAS No. 82-68-8, feed, 8187 ppm, negative lung carcinogen; 10) 4-Nitroanthranilic acid, CAS No. 619-17-0, feed, 10000 ppm, negative lung carcinogen; 11) 2-Chloromethylpyridine hydrochloride, CAS No. 6959-47-3, gavage (water), 250 mg/kg, negative lung carcinogen; 12) Diazinon, CAS No. 333-41-5, feed, 200 ppm, negative lung carcinogen; 13) Malathion, CAS No. 121-75-5, feed, 16000 ppm, negative lung carcinogen; 14) Corn oil control, gavage; 15) Water control, gavage; 16) Rodent diet control, feed. Feed animals were exposed 7 days/week and gavage animals were exposed 5 days/week (5 ml/kg). After 13 weeks, animals were euthanized and lungs were collected. The right lobe was used for microarray analysis. Microarray analysis was performed on the lungs of three to four mice per treatment group.
