Project description:HFPO-DA (ammonium 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)-propanoate; CASRN 62037-80-3; trade name “GenX”) is an alternative to environmentally persistent per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The liver is the primary target of toxicity for HFPO-DA in rodents and previous examination of hepatic transcriptomic responses in mice following oral exposure to HFPO-DA for 90 days showed induction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathways, predominantly by PPAR alpha, as well as increased gene expression of both peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. To further investigate the mechanism of liver toxicity, transcriptomic analysis was conducted on liver tissue from mice orally exposed to 0, 0.1, 0.5 or 5 mg/kg-bw/day HFPO-DA in a reproduction/developmental toxicity study. Hepatic gene expression changes were consistent with the previous 90-day mouse study, demonstrating activation of the PPAR alpha signaling pathway. Peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation gene sets were enriched at lower HFPO-DA concentrations, and complement cascade, cell cycle and apoptosis related gene sets were enriched at higher HFPO-DA concentrations. These results support the reported histopathological findings in livers of mice from this study and indicate that these effects are mediated through rodent-specific PPAR alpha signaling mechanisms.

Project description:Like many per- or polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), toxicity studies with HFPO-DA (ammonium, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)-propanoate; CASRN 62037-80-3), a short-chain PFAS used in the manufacture of some types of fluorinated polymers, indicate that the liver is the primary target of toxicity in rodents following oral exposure. Although the current weight of evidence supports the PPARa mode of action (MOA) for liver effects in HFPO-DA-exposed mice, alternate MOAs have also been hypothesized including PPARg or cytotoxicity. To further evaluate the MOA for HFPO-DA in rodent liver, transcriptomic analyses were conducted on samples from primary mouse, rat and pooled human hepatocytes treated for 12, 24 or 72 hours with various concentrations of HFPO-DA, or established agonists of PPARa (GW7647), PPARg (rosiglitazone), or cytotoxic agents (i.e., acetaminophen or d-galactosamine). Concordance analyses of enriched pathways across chemicals within each species demonstrated greatest concordance between HFPO-DA and PPARa agonist GW7647-treated hepatocytes compared to the other chemicals evaluated. These findings were supported by benchmark concentration modeling and predicted upstream regulator results. In addition, transcriptomic analyses across species demonstrated a greater transcriptomic response in rodent hepatocytes treated with HFPO-DA or agonists of PPARa or PPARg, indicating rodent hepatocytes are more sensitive to HFPO-DA or PPARa/g agonist treatment. These results are consistent with previously published transcriptomic analyses and further support that liver effects in HFPO-DA-exposed rodents are mediated through rodent-specific PPARa signaling mechanisms as part of the MOA for PPARa activator-induced rodent hepatocarcinogenesis.

Project description:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent pollutants known for their bio-accumulative properties and prevalence in water supplies and household products. Although legacy PFAS, such as perfluorooctanoic acid, are phased out in the U.S. due to public health concerns, a PFAS variant hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA) is an emerging replacement. HFPO-DA is a potential neurotoxicant that has been shown to cause dopaminergic neurodegeneration. We investigated the bioaccumulative potential of HFPO-DA and its effects on lifespan, locomotor activity, and brain gene expression in female and male Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). Flies were collected less than 4 hours post-eclosion and exposed to 0, 10, 10^2, 10^3, or 10^4 mg/kg/day HFPO-DA. To measure the effect of HFPO-DA on lifespan, surviving flies from each exposure were recorded every 24 hours. Flies were subjected to a negative geotaxis assay at 3, 7, and 14 days of exposure to measure the effects of acute, sub-chronic, and chronic exposures on locomotor ability. To capture HFPO-DA-induced sexually dimorphic gene expression responses in the brain, we sequenced brain-specific mRNA from flies exposed for 3, 7, or 14 days. The Bioconcentration Factor was 0.031 for females, and 0.026 for males. Dose and median lifespan were negatively correlated in both female (R^2 adj = 0.77, p<0.0001) and male flies (R^2 adj = 0.77, p<0.0001). Log-rank Mantel-Cox tests and one-way ANOVAs revealed that median lifespan was reduced in females starting at 10 mg/kg/day and in males starting at 10^2 mg/kg/day (p< 0.01). Acute exposure at 10 mg/kg/day significantly decreased locomotor ability in females (p<0.0001) while acute exposures at 1 mg/kg/day decreased locomotor activity in males (p <0.0001). Among 7500 genes analyzed, pairwise gene expression comparison between controls and treatments identified 2496 differentially expressed genes. While HFPO-DA does not readily bioaccumulate in fruit fly bodies, high-dose exposures have sex-specific effects on lifespan, locomotor ability, and brain gene expression. LOAEL for median lifespan is 10 mg/kg/day in females, and 10^2 mg/kg/day in males. Both locomotor ability and brain gene expression exhibited non-conventional dose-response as seen in other endocrine disrupting chemical exposures.

Project description:Purpose of the study: the goal of this study was to use Next-generation sequencing to investigate the gene expression profile of skeletal muscle from mice exposed to chemotherapy (Folfiri) for up to 5 weeks. Methods: Standard methods were used for polyA mRNA-seq library construction, EZBead preparation and Next-Gen sequencing, based on Life Technologies SOLiD5000xl system. Briefly, one microgram total RNA per sample was applied for library preparation. PolyA mRNA was first captured using the standard protocol of Dynabeads® mRNA DIRECT⢠Micro Kit (Life Technologies, #61021). Following the enrichment of polyA mRNA, the cDNA library was prepared and barcoded per sample using the standard protocol of SOLiD Total RNA-seq Kit (Life Technologies, #4445374). Each barcoded library was quantified by Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA chip (Agilent, #5067-4626) and pooled in equal molarity. EZBead preparation, bead library amplification, and bead enrichment were then conducted using Life Technologies EZ Bead⢠E80 System (Life technologies, #4453095). Approximately four hundred forty million library-enriched beads per lane were deposited onto a SOLiD5500xl FlowChip (6 lanes/chip). Finally sequencing by ligation was carried out using standard single-read, 5â-3â strand-specific sequencing procedure (75b-read) on SOLiD5500xl Sequencer. The resulting 75 bp solid reads were mapped to Mus musculus mm9 reference genome using in-house mapping pipelines that utilizes bfast-0.7.0a [67]. In brief, using our RNA-seq pipeline, low quality reads and reads mapped to rRNA/tRNAs were first discarded. The remaining reads were mapped to reference genome mm9 and a splice-junction library, respectively; the genomic and splice-junction library mapping were merged at the end. The gene based expression levels were calculated using bamutils from NGSUtils based on the RefSeq gene annotation of mm9. Differential expression of genes across different treatments was determined with edgeR Results: Gene expression profiling, performed by means of RNA-Sequencing analysis, identified a limited number of genes that were significantly modulated (False Discovery Rate < 0.05) following Folfiri administration. Interestingly, the pathway analysis showed marked down-regulation of the regulators of mitochondrial metabolism Ucp1, Cidea1 and Acot2, as well as the marker of muscle cell proliferation/pluripotency Fhl3 . Further, we found increased expression of regulators of lipid metabolism and transport (such as Fabp1, Apoa1, Apob, Apoa2, Alb, Prkcz and Scd2) as well as acute phase response proteins (such as Alb, Fga and Fgb), and members of the PPAR signaling and markers of the Energy metabolism (such as Dnah5) were reported . Conclusions: Our study represents the first gene expression profiling of muscle from mice exposed to chemotherapy. The findings from our study identified several signaling pathways that were modulated following chemotherapy administration. These results will contribute to identify new modulators of muscle wasting associated with Folfiri administration, that might also represent putative new targets of interventions. Next-generation sequencing of RNA extracted from quadriceps muscle of CD2F1 male mice exposed to either Folfiri (a combination of 5-FU, Leucovorin and CPT-11) or vehicle alone (n=4) for up to 5 weeks.

Project description:Changes in cell adhesion molecule (CAM) expression and miRNAs regulating them are known to be involved in malignant progression in colon cancer. We investigated expression profiles of CAM genes and non-coding RNAs in CaCo2 colon cancer cells in static culture and under dynamic flow conditions perfused in microfluidic chip emulating physiological microenvironment. We incubated monolayers of CaCo2 cells in Transwell® units either under static conditions or under flow in a microfluidic chip. We identified 7 up-regulated CAM genes (CD44, CDH7, CEACAM5, CEACAM6, CYR61, L1CAM and VCAN), 7 down-regulated genes (COL12A1, FGA, FGB, FGG, GJA1, ITGA5 and LAMA1) and 69 miRNAs targeting them under the influence of microcirculation. The revealed network comprised CAM genes known to interact with each other and 13 miRNAs simultaneously regulating more than one of them.

Project description:Intrahepatic cholestasis (IC) is a common symptom of liver diseases but with limited treatment. Huangqi decoction (HQD), a classic herbal medicine, has shown protective effects against IC. In this study, the iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics was performed to investigate the potential mechanism of HQD on alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) induced IC, resulting in 2,796 quantified proteins across all the samples, including 270 differentially expressed proteins under HQD treatment. Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering analysis of these 270 proteins revealed that the pro-inflammatory proteins, such as LCN2, SAA1, FGG, FGA, and FGB, were assigned in the Cluster 1 (up-regulated by ANIT, and down-regulated by HQD). Following functional bioinformatics analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis represented that these pro-inflammatory proteins were involved in the STAT3 signaling pathway. Further real-time PCR and Western blot experiments confirmed that the expression of these proteins was consistent with the proteomic results. Moreover, HQD treatment decreased the phosphorylation of STAT3 that induced by ANIT. And Western blot experiments also revealed that HQD could decrease phosphorylation of NF-κB and down-regulate the expression inflammatory genes IL-6, and therefore inhibit IL-6/STATA3 signaling pathway. In summary, the present study suggested that HQD treatment may ameliorate intrahepatic cholestasis via inhibiting the NF-κB/IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway.
