MicroRNA Alterations Induced in Human Skin by Diesel Fumes, Ozone, and UV Radiation

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic alterations are a driving force of the carcinogenesis process. MicroRNAs play a role in silencing mutated oncogenes, thus defending the cell against the adverse consequences of genotoxic damages induced by environmental pollutants. These processes have been well investigated in lungs; however, although skin is directly exposed to a great variety of environmental pollutants, more research is needed to better understand the effect on cutaneous tissue. Therefore, we investigated microRNA alteration in human skin biopsies exposed to diesel fumes, ozone, and UV light for over 24 h of exposure. UV and ozone-induced microRNA alteration right after exposure, while the peak of their deregulations induced by diesel fumes was reached only at the end of the 24 h. Diesel fumes mainly altered microRNAs involved in the carcinogenesis process, ozone in apoptosis, and UV in DNA repair. Accordingly, each tested pollutant induced a specific pattern of microRNA alteration in skin related to the intrinsic mechanisms activated by the specific pollutant. These alterations, over a short time basis, reflect adaptive events aimed at defending the tissue against damages. Conversely, whenever environmental exposure lasts for a long time, the irreversible alteration of the microRNA machinery results in epigenetic damage contributing to the pathogenesis of inflammation, dysplasia, and cancer induced by environmental pollutants.

Differentially expressed genes related to inflammatory disease on nasal cavity induced by diesel exhaust particles (DEPs)

Project description:Recently air pollution has become serious environmental issues effect. Contaminated air by pollutants, such as emission of diesel fuel, enter the human body through airway tract and can cause inflammatory diseases in respiratory system. The relation between air pollutant and development of respiratory diseases have well-studied, but the processes of disease outbreak were not fully studied yet. We investigated global gene expression induced by diesel exhaust particle (DEP), one of air pollutants in primary human nasal epithelial cell (PHNEC) with the purpose of identifying potential biomarkers. Furthermore, we analyzed signaling pathway among differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for elucidating signaling networks of process developing airway diseases. Consequentially, we suggested several key biomarkers that include not only the expression changes but also the meaning of relation between genes. This findings might be used for early diagnosis and prevention of upper respiratory disease, especially rhinitis.

Skin response to urban pollution in an ex vivo model

Project description:A vast range of pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, particulate matters) are generated by increasing urbanization. The skin epidermis, as the outermost line of defense of the body, is continuously exposed to external aggressions, including environmental pollution. To study the effects of air pollutant exposure on skin physiology, the first challenge was to define a model that mimics as close as possible the in vivo skin exposure to atmospheric pollution. In the present study, the pollutant mixture was designed on the basis of the French non-profit organization ‘Air Parif’ database and nebulized on human skin explants using the Pollubox® device. Cellular and molecular modifications in skin explants were investigated from several donors exposed to a pollutant mix (P) or an organic solvent (OS). Transcriptomic analyses coupled to immunolabelling showed that P exposure induced the expression of detoxifying enzymes notably in the stratum granulosum. Interestingly, transmission electron microscopy observations demonstrated that, in our model, diesel particles smaller than 300 nm could penetrate the skin up to the granular layer. This may cause local alterations of the microenvironment which alter the skin physiology. Therefore, the response of the epidermis to pollutant exposure is likely to be layer-specific.

Chimeric repressors of GLKs confer tolerance to air pollutant by closing stomata in Arabidopsis

Project description:Regulation of stomatal movement is one of the effective strategies for developing resistant crops to air pollutant because stomata allows absorption of various air pollutants, such as ozone and sulfur dioxide. Transcription factor (TF) is a fascinating target of genetic manipulation for this end because TF regulates many genes simultaneously and methods of genetic manipulation are universally established. Here, we have screened transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing chimeric repressor of TFs in high-concentration of ozone and found that the chimeric repressors of GOLDEN-LIKE1 (GLK1) and GLK2 (GLK1-SRDX and GLK2-SRDX) conferred strong tolerance to ozone. These 35S:GLK1/2-SRDX plants also showed sulfur dioxide tolerance. Their leaves showed lower rate of transpiration than wild type and a remarkable closed-stomata phenotype. The expression of the genes encoding K+ and water channels, including KAT1 and AKT1, which are involved in stomatal opening, was downregulated in 35S:GLK1-SRDX plants. Consistently, expression of GLK1-SRDX driven by the GC1 promoter, which has an activity only in guard cell, also induced closed-stomata and an ozone tolerant phenotype. On the contrary, 35S:GLK1/2 plants showed hypersensitivity to ozone and an opened-stomata phenotype. These data suggested that GLK1 and GLK2 have an ability to induce transcriptional change in guard cell and regulate stomatal movement. Our findings provide an effective tool to confer resistance to air pollutant by regulating stomatal aperture and improve crop productivity in future.

Proteomic analysis reveals activation of platelet- and fibrosis-related pathways in hearts of ApoE-/- mice exposed to diesel exhaust particles

Project description:Air pollution is an environmental risk factor linked to multiple human diseases including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While particulate matter (PM) emitted by diesel exhaust damages multiple organ systems, heart disease is one of the most severe pathologies affected by PM. However, the in vivo effects of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) on the heart and the molecular mechanisms of DEP-induced heart dysfunction have not been investigated. In the current study, we attempted to identify the proteomic signatures of heart fibrosis caused by diesel exhaust particles (DEP) in CVDs-prone apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice model using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomic analysis. DEP exposure induced mild heart fibrosis in ApoE-/- mice compared with severe heart fibrosis in ApoE-/- mice that were treated with CVDs-inducing peptide, angiotensin II. TMT-based quantitative proteomic analysis of heart tissues between PBS- and DEP-treated ApoE-/- mice revealed significant upregulation of proteins associated with platelet activation and TGFβ-dependent pathways. Our data suggest that DEP exposure could induce heart fibrosis, potentially via platelet-related pathways and TGFβ induction, causing cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction.

Transcriptome profiling of the newborn mouse lung response to acute ozone exposure

Project description:Ozone is a major air pollutant in highly populated areas. High levels of ambient ozone have been associated with decreased lung function and increased exacerbations of asthma in children and adults. However, the effects of ozone on the newborn’s lung are largely unknown. This study was aimed at profiling the newborn lung response to ozone at the transcriptome level to define the impact of ozone pollutant on the developing postnatal lung. Newborn mice were exposed to ozone or filtered normal air for 3 h. Total RNA was isolated from lung tissues at 6 and 24 h after completion of exposure and was subjected to gene expression analysis using Whole Mouse Genome Gene Expression 4X44K Microarrays (G2519F-014868, Agilent Technologies). Transcriptome analysis of the postnatal lung indicated that 455 genes were down-regulated and 166 genes were up-regulated by at least 1.5 fold at 6 h post-ozone exposure (t-test, p<0.05). At 24 h post exposure, 543 genes were down-regulated and 323 genes were up-regulated in the lungs of ozone-exposed newborn mice, compared to filtered air-exposed newborn mice (t-test, p<0.05). After controlling for false discovery rate, 50 genes were significantly down-regulated and only 4 genes were up-regulated at 24 h post ozone-exposure (q<0.05). Gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle-associated functions including cell division/proliferation, cellular assembly and organization were the predominant pathways negatively regulated by ozone exposure. These findings suggest that elevated ozone pollution may interfere with lung development and growth in the early age.
