Project description:Mice deficient in Apolipoprotein E (Apoe E(-/-)) vs wild type mice were exposed to diesel engine particulate by single dose intratracheal instillation. The transcript-level response of the hearts after 24h and of the lungs after 24 h were subsequently analyzed by the 2-color microarray method. Keywords: stress response, disease state analysis Three mice of the Apo E (-/-) strain were exposed to diesel engine particulate from the National Institute of Standards and Technology via intratracheal instillation. Controls consisted of 3 littermates exposed to saline vehicle. Similarly, three wild type mice were similarly exposed to diesel particulate and three to vehicle control. 24 hours after exposure, mice were humanely sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and the hearts and lungs were collected and frozen for analysis of total RNA. In each biological replicate, 2 color microarrays were utilized to compare pooled RNA representing all three animals of each strain, and in each condition and in each tissue; each biological replicate was performed with a dye reversal. Biological replicates of the wild type mice responses to diesel engine particulate were performed three times for heart and lung.

Project description:The aviation industry’s growing interest in renewable jet fuel has encouraged the exploration of alternative oilseed crops. Replacing traditional fossil fuels with a sustainable, domestically sourced crop can substantially reduce carbon emissions, thus mitigating global climate instability. Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) is an emerging oilseed intermediate crop that can be grown during the offseason between maize (Zea mays) and soybean (Glycine max) to produce renewable biofuel. Pennycress is being domesticated through breeding and mutagenesis, providing opportunities for trait enhancement. Here, we employed metabolic engineering strategies to improve seed oil composition and bolster the plant's economic competitiveness. FATTY ACID ELONGATION 1 (FAE1) was targeted using CRISPR-Cas 9 gene editing to eliminate very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) from pennycress seed oil, thereby enhancing its cold flow properties. Through an integrated multi-omics approach, we investigated the impact of eliminating VLCFAs in developing and mature plant embryos. Our findings revealed improved cold-germination efficiency in fae1, with seedling emergence occurring up to three days earlier at 10 ºC. However, these alterations led to a trade-off between storage oil content and composition. Additionally, these shifts in lipid biosynthesis were accompanied by broad metabolic changes, such as the accumulation of glucose and ADP-glucose quantities consistent with increased starch production. Furthermore, shifts to shorter FA chains triggered the upregulation of heat shock proteins, underscoring the importance of VLCFAs in stress signaling pathways. Overall, this research provides crucial insights for optimizing pennycress seed oil while preserving essential traits for biofuel applications.

Project description:Mesothelioma arises in humans after prolonged chronic inflammation driven by the presence of inhaled asbestos fibres in the chest cavity. We have generated a genetically engineered mouse model of mesothelioma that combines CRE-mediated deletion of 3 disease-relevant tumour suppressor genes, namely Cdkn2a, Nf2 and p53, with a single intrapleural injection of asbestos. Tumours arising in these mice are heavily infiltrated by macrophages, which play. key roles in tumour development and are thought to create a permissive environment for tumour growth. We used a CSF1R inhibitor, AZD7507, to suppress macrophages, starting from day 60 post tumour initiation. This experiment analysed the overall tumour transcriptome in response to macrophage suppression

Project description:The increasing global human population has been associated with the development of high-density urban communities. This has led to increase in fossil energy consumption and posed serious threats to the environment and human health. Organosulfur compounds found in crude oil and transportation fuels such as diesel have gained strong attention because they are hazardous to human and the ecosystem. Moreover, the sulfur oxide gases resulting from fuel combustion are a major cause of acid rain. Governments and environmental organizations worldwide have recognized the problem and implemented strict regulations and legislations that limit the amount of sulfur in diesel. Hydrodesulphurization (HDS) is commonly used by oil refineries to reduce sulfur content in refined fuels. However, HDS has many disadvantages. It is costly, environmentally polluting, and not sufficiently efficient. Accordingly, there has been increasing interest in the development of alternative desulfurization technologies to circumvent the problems associated with the conventional HDS. Biodesulfurization (BDS) has emerged as an alternative or a complement technology to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional HDS. BDS exploits the ability of dedicated microorganisms to remove sulfur from many organosulfur compounds that are commonly found in crude oil and refined fuels. As compared to thermochemical treatments like HDS, BDS is environmentally friendly, cost-effective and active towards organosulfur compounds that escape the conventional HDS. Nonetheless, lack of deep understanding of the physiology and metabolism, particularly sulfur metabolism, of biodesulfurizing microbes has impeded the development and implementation of a commercially viable BDS process. In this project, we apply metabolomics and proteomics to better understand the physiological adaptations and sulfur metabolism of in a model biodesulfurization-competent strain Rhodococcus qingshengii IGTS8.

Project description:Producing the fuels and chemicals from renewable plant biomass has been thought as a feasible way for global sustainable development. However, the economical efficiency of biorefinery remains challenges. Here a cellulolytic thermophilic fungus, Myceliophthora thermophila, was constructed into a platform through metabolic engineering, which can efficiently convert lignocellulose to important bulk chemicals for polymers, four carbon 1, 4-diacids (malic and succinic acid), directly from lignocellulose without any extra enzymes addition or complicated pretreatment, with titer of over 200 g/L on cellulose and 110 g/L on plant biomass (corncob) during fed-batch fermentation. Our study represents a milestone of consolidated bioprocessing technology (CBP) and offers a new promising system for cost-effectively production of biomass-based chemicals and potentially fuels.

Project description:Adverse lung effects in rodents following pulmonary exposure to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are well documented. However, systemic effects are less understood. Prospective epidemiological studies have shown increased cardiovascular disease risk after pulmonary exposure to airborne particles, which has led to concerns that inhalation exposure to MWCNT might pose similar risks. We used high-content genomics tools to compare hepatic responses after exposure to a short, entangled MWCNT to the hepatic responses after exposure to a long, stiffer MWCNT at the global transcriptomic level. Female C57BL/6 mice were exposed by single intratracheal instillation to 162 M-BM-5g/mouse of a short MWCNT (NRCWE-26 (NC-7000), 847M-BM-1102 nm in length) or long MWCNT (NM-401 (CP-0006-SG), 4048M-BM-1366 nm in length). Liver tissues were harvested 24 h, 3 d and 28 d after exposure. This experiment examined the pulmonary transcriptional response of female C57BL/6 mice exposed to NRCWE-26, a short multi-walled carbon nanotube, and NM-401, a long multi-walled carbon nanotube, at three doses: D1 (18 M-NM-<g), D2 (54 M-NM-<g), D3 (162 M-NM-<g), and vehicle control. Each dose group was examined 1, 3 or 28 days post-exposure. Each dose group had 6 biological replicates. There were a total of 72 samples included in the final analysis using a two-color reference design.

Project description:Air pollution, especially emissions derived from traffic sources, is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, it remains unclear how inhaled factors drive an extrapulmonary pathology, as the lung is an effective barrier for solid particulates and many gases. Previously, using plasma from healthy human subjects exposed to diesel exhaust under controlled conditions, we found that canonical inflammatory response transcripts of interleukin-8 (IL-8), intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) were elevated in endothelial cells treated wih plasma obtained after exposure compared with pre-exposure samples or filtered air (sham) exposures. While the findings confirmed the presence of bioactive factor(s) in the plasma after diesel inhalation, we wanted to better examine the complete genomic response to investigate 1) major responsive transcripts and 2) collected response pathways and ontogeny that may help to refine this method. Thus, we assayed previousy collected RNA with microarray chips, examining the responses of cultured endothelial cells to plasma obtained from 6 healthy human subjects exposed to 100 μg/m3 diesel exhaust or filtered air for 2 h on separate occasions. In addition to pre-exposure baseline samples, we investigated samples obtained immediately post and 24h post exposure. Primary human coronary artery endothelial cells were grown to confluence and treated with 10% plasma for 24 h, followed by isolation of RNA for microarrays. Microarray analysis of the coronary artery endothelial cells challenged with plasma identified 855 probes that change over time following diesel exhaust exposure. Over-representation analysis identified inflammatory cytokine pathways were upregulated both at the 2 and 24 h condition. These outcomes are consistent with our recent findings that plasma contains bioactive and inflammatory factors following pollutant inhalation and provide a novel pathway to explain the well-reported extrapulmonary toxicity of ambient air pollutants.

Project description:Cyclopropanes-functionalized hydrocarbons are excellent fuels. however, their synthesis is challenging and harmful for the environment. In this work we produced polycyclopropanated fatty acids in bacteria. These molecules can be easily converted into renewable fuels for high energy applications such as shipping, long-haul transport, aviation, and rocketry. We explored the chemical diversity encoded in the genome of thousands of bacteria to identify and repurpose naturally occurring cyclopropanated molecules. We identified a set of candidate iterative Polyketide Synthases (iPKSs) predicted to produce polycyclopropanated fatty acids (POP-FAs), expressed these PKSs in Streptomyces coelicolor and produced the POP-FAs. We determined the structure of the molecules and increased their production 22-fold. Polycyclopropanated fatty acid methyl esters (POP-FAMEs) were obtained by methyl esterifying the POP-FAs. Finally, we calculated the enthalpy of combustion of several POP fuel candidates to assess their potential as replacement for fossil fuels in energy demanding applications. Our research shows that POP-FAMEs and other polyketide derived POPs have the energetic properties for energy demanding applications for which sustainable alternatives are scarce.

Project description:Transcriptome changes of Douglas-fir seedlings were analyzed to investigate molecular impacts of exposure to airborne emissions released from combustion of diesel fuel containing engineered cerium dioxide (CeO2) nanoparticle catalysts (DECe). We analyzed mRNA-sequencing data from exposed one-year-old needles. Our hypothesis is that 2-week chamber exposure to DECe would induce certain distinct transcriptome changes in the needles compared with responses to conventional diesel exhaust (DE) or filtered DECe Gas Phase. Blast2GO gene ontologies (GOs) enriched by significantly up-regulated DECe transcripts were nested within the GOs for DE, however, 93.5% of enriched GOs for significantly down-regulated DECe transcripts were unique. DECe attenuated expression of genes that affect functions of transferases, kinases, transmembrane transporters, transcription factors, diester hydrolases and RNA polymerase III; processes of protein phosphorylation, responses to stimuli, hormones and chemicals, carbohydrate transport, RNA polymerase III transcription, and cellular anion homeostasis; plus, components of the plasma membrane. MapMan analysis also identified RNA regulation of transcription, protein degradation, and lipid metabolism pathways that were enriched with DECe down-regulated transcripts. Divergent DECe treatment effects were associated with significantly elevated needle uptake of cerium. DE affected expression of more genes than DECe. Nevertheless, unique transcriptome profile changes suggest that chronic DECe exposure may adversely affect plant growth and development.
