Project description:Inorganic arsenic, a major environmental contaminant, has risen as an important health problem worldwide. More detailed identification of the molecular mechanisms associated with iAs exposure would help to establish better strategies for prevention and treatment. Although chronic iAs exposures have been previously studied there is little to no information regarding the early events of exposure to iAs. To better characterize the early mechanisms of iAs exposure we conducted gene expression studies using sublethal doses of iAs at two different time-points. The major transcripts differentially regulated at 2 hrs of iAs exposure included antioxidants, detoxificants and chaperones. Moreover, after 12 hrs of exposure many of the down-regulated genes were associated with DNA replication and S phase cell cycle progression. Interestingly, the most affected biological pathway by both 2 or 12 hrs of iAs exposure were the Nrf2-Keap1 pathway, represented by the highly up-regulated HMOX1 transcript, which is transcriptionally regulated by the transcription factor Nrf2. Additional Nrf2 targets included SQSTM1 and ABCB6, which were not previously associated with acute iAs exposure. Signalling pathways such as interferon, B cell receptor and AhR route were also responsive to acute iAs exposure. Since HMOX1 expression increased early (20 min) and was responsive to low iAs concentrations (0.1 M), this gene could be a suitable early biomarker for iAs exposure. In addition, the novel Nrf2 targets SQSTM1 and ABCB6 could play an important and previously unrecognized role in cellular protection against iAs

Cell cultures were propagated in RPMI media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), L-glutammine 2 mM and antiobiotics penicillin and 10 mg/ml streptomycin) at 37M-BM-:C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2. In the case of primary cultures, 1% phytohemaglutinine were added. Cell cultures (1x106) were treated with 5M-BM-5M sodium arsenite for 2 and 12 hrs while control cultures were incubated with PBS. Nine biological replicates for each condition were used for microarray analysis. After iAs treatment, total RNA from each biological replicate was isolated with Trizol. From the 9 biological replicates performed on each condition, we generated 3 pools at a concentration of 300 ng/M-BM-5L, where each pool was processed to a single microarray platform.

Project description:The Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) pregnancy cohort in Gómez Palacio, Mexico was recently established to better understand the impacts of prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs). In this study, we examined a subset (n = 40) of newborn cord blood samples for microRNA (miRNA) expression changes associated with in utero arsenic exposure. Levels of iAs in maternal drinking water (DW-iAs) and maternal urine were assessed. Levels of DW-iAs ranged from below detectable values to 236 µg/L (mean = 51.7 µg/L). Total arsenic in maternal urine (U-tAs) was defined as the sum of iAs and its monomethylated and dimethylated metabolites (MMAs and DMAs, respectively) and ranged from 6.2 to 319.7 µg/L (mean = 64.5 µg/L). Genome-wide miRNA expression analysis of cord blood revealed 12 miRNAs with increasing expression associated with U-tAs. Transcriptional targets of the miRNAs were computationally predicted and subsequently assessed using transcriptional profiling. Pathway analysis demonstrated that the U-tAs-associated miRNAs are involved in signaling pathways related to known health outcomes of iAs exposure including cancer and diabetes mellitus. Immune response-related mRNAs were also identified with decreased expression levels associated with U-tAs, and predicted to be mediated in part by the arsenic-responsive miRNAs. Results of this study highlight miRNAs as novel responders to prenatal arsenic exposure that may contribute to associated immune response perturbations.

Project description:Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) or a high-fat diet (HFD) can produce liver injury. However, the interactive molecular biological effects and mechanism of iAs and HFD are as of yet unclear. We used microarrays to detail the interactive effects of arsenic and a high-fat diet on hepatic gene expression.

Project description:Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) or a high-fat diet (HFD) can produce liver injury. However, the interactive molecular biological effects and mechanism of iAs and HFD are as of yet unclear. We used microarrays to detail the interactive effects of arsenic and a high-fat diet on hepatic gene expression. The C57BL/6 Mice fed low-fat diet (LFD) or HFD were exposed to 3 mg/L iAs or deionized water for 10 weeks. Then, hepatic RNA were extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Differentially expressed genes in LFD+As, HFD, and HFD+As groups compared to LFD group were identified, and interactive molecular biological effects and mechanism of iAs and HFD were discussed.

Project description:In this study, we examined the effect of inorganic arsenic (iAs) on the estrogen response (E2) in MCF-7 cells that are estrogen receptor positive/progesterone receptor positive (ER+/PR+). Understanding the changes in the transcriptomic response after iAs exposure and the retention of such responses during recovery from iAs exposure can identify driver mechanisms of breast cancer progression and improve therapies for patients with ER+ cancers exposed to iAs.

We assessed the impact of prenatal exposure to arsenic on genome-wide miRNA expression profiles and their potential influence on gene expression patterns in the Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) prospective pregnancy cohort. This cohort includes residents from Gómez Palacio, located in the state of Durango in the Lagunera region of Northern Mexico. A total of 200 pregnant women residing in Gómez Palacio, State of Durango, Mexico, were recruited at the General Hospital of Gómez Palacio to participate in the BEAR prospective pregnancy cohort. The present study focuses on miRNA expression profiles and utilizes 40 samples obtained from mother-newborn pairs selected from the larger cohort (n=200). The subcohort was selected to include subjects exposed to varying levels of arsenic as determined by both total arsenic in maternal urine (U-tAs) and inorganic arsenic in drinking water (DW-iAs). Cord blood samples were collected from the newborns immediately after infant delivery. Blood samples were collected using PreAnalytix PaxGene RNA tubes and extracted using the PAXgene RNA Kit, per standard protocol (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Isolated RNA used for microarray analysis were amplified and labeled using the NuGEN Ovation Pico WTA System V2 and Encore Biotin Module, respectively (NuGEN, San Carlos, CA). RNA isolated from 40 cord blood samples were labeled and hybridized to the Agilent Human miRNA Microarray, based off miRBase v16.0.
