Effect of chronic fg-TiO2 (also called E171) exposure on hepatic gene expression in male mice fed normal- or western-diet

ABSTRACT: The food-grade titanium dioxide (fg-TiO2, composed of insoluble particles) is one of the most widely used food coloring worldwide for its whitening and brightening properties, and is included in many foodstuffs. We evaluated how daily exposure to fg-TiO2 at human-relevant dietary levels impacts gut microbiota and its consequence in the occurrence and/or aggravation of metabolic disorders under both standard and high-fat diet (HFD) conditions Eight week-old female C57BL/6J mice (F0) from Janvier Labs received control or fg-TiO2-containing food pellets. For fg-TiO2-containing diets, the tested compound was added to food pellets to reach 10 mg fg-TiO2/kg bw/d as a target dose of exposure. After 40 days of treatment, F0 female mice were housed with F0 males and vaginal plug occurrence was monitored to confirm mating and gestation day 0. F1 pups from delivered litters were then submitted to their F0 respective experimental condition (F1 from F0 control group are unexposed to the food additive) during an overall exposure of 21 weeks (3 weeks from birth to weaning, 2 weeks to reach adult age and 16 weeks of exposure at adulthood). To determine if the dietary pattern could constitute an aggravating factor on the monitored endpoints, a group of F1 mice were subjected to a high fat diet after reaching the adult age (5 weeks) followed by 16 weeks of exposure.

Titanium dioxide in food induces sex- and microbiota-dependent metabolic disorders, and worsens high-fat diet outcomes

Project description:Ultra-processed food consumption has been linked to the rising global burden of metabolic diseases, but the specific contribution of additives commonly used in these products remains unclear. Given the bactericidal properties of the food-grade (fg) additive titanium dioxide (TiO2) and the key role of the gut microbiota in maintaining metabolic health, this study aimed to determine whether daily exposure to this widely used additive induces intestinal dysbiosis promoting metabolic disorders. MiniBioReactor Arrays inoculated with fecal microbiota from healthy donors were exposed to fg-TiO2. Fecal samples from normo-weight or obese children were analyzed for titanium content and microbiota-derived markers. Mice were exposed to fg-TiO2 at human dietary doses from gestation to adulthood under standard or high-fat diet (HFD), assessing metabolic outcomes and microbiota-mediated effects through fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) to germ-free mice. Fg-TiO2 reshaped human microbiota structure in vitro, consistently affecting taxa linked to immune signaling. Obese children had higher fecal titanium levels than normo-weight peers, correlating with fecal flagellin levels, suggesting a dysbiotic profile. Lifelong exposure to fg-TiO2 induced sex-dependent dysbiosis with glucose metabolism impairment in male mice, characterized by increased fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and pro-inflammatory fecal markers. FMT demonstrated that an fg-TiO2-altered microbiota was sufficient to transfer glucose intolerance. Under HFD, fg-TiO2 exacerbated hepatic, metabolic and gut barrier disturbances. Our findings identified fg-TiO2 as an environmental factor disrupting gut microbiota and promoting sex-dependent metabolic dysfunction, exacerbating HFD metabolic outcomes. These results warrant further epidemiological investigations on food additive exposure and metabolic health.

Effect of high fat diet on the rat germ cell transcriptome

Project description:PURPOSE: To examine if a parental high fat diet (HFD) influences metabolic health in two generations of offspring, and alters the germ cell (GC) transcriptome. PROCEDURE: GC-eGFP Sprague Dawley rats were weaned onto HFD (45% fat) or Control Diet (CD; 10% fat). After metabolic testing, founders (F0) were bred with controls, establishing the F1 generation. Germ cells from F0 males were isolated and their RNA sequenced. F1 rats were bred with control rats at 17 weeks to generate F2 offspring. FINDINGS: HFD resulted in 9.7% and 14.7% increased weight in male and female F0 respectively. F1 offspring of HFD mothers were heavier than controls. F1 daughters of HFD-fed males were also heavier. F2 male offspring derived from HFD-fed maternal grandfathers were 7.2% heavier, and exhibited increases of 31% in adiposity, 97% in plasma leptin and 300% in luteinising hormone to testosterone ratio. HFD exposure did not alter the F0 GC transcriptome. CONTROLS: Matched CD was consumed by all animals not consuming the HFD. Animals were compared to a parallel cohort of CD rats. CONCLUSIONS: HFD consumption by maternal grandfathers results in a disrupted metabolic phenotype in grandsons. This effect is not mediated by alterations to the GC transcriptome.

The let-7 family of miRNA mediates paternal intergenerational inheritance of metabolic disorders via post-transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial dynamics.

Project description:This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms and nature of impaired soma-germline crosstalk in IEI by focusing on the miRNA regulations in soma and sperm of obese male mice. We found that F0 HFD deteriorated glucose metabolism in F0 and F1, whereas F0 weight loss largely corrected glucose metabolism in both generations. F0 and F1 mice from HFD and REV group exhibited eWAT hypertrophy, and increased Leptin and insulin levels. Transcriptomics and proteomics revealed metabolic dysfunction in F0 and F1 eWAT which correlated with dysregulation of mitochondrial genes. Notably, miRNA Let-7 was obesity-induced in eWAT and sperm, and mice sired from Let-7d/e-microinjected embryos showed impaired glucose metabolism, suggesting Let-7 participated in IEI of metabolic disorders. Our data demonstrated that paternal obesity-induced pre-diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunction in eWAT correlated with similar observations in offspring and the phenomena could be partially precluded by paternal weight-loss before conception.

Zebrafish transgenerational methylation profiling in response to TCDD, 5-AZA and MeHg

Project description:Adult F0 female zebrafish were fed with control diet or diets containing 5-AZA, MeHg or TCDD. After breeding with unexposed males to produce the F1 generation, livers were sampled from the F0 females. F1 generation embryos were unexposed to test chemicals, were sampled, then bred to produce F2 fish, also unexposed to test chemicals. Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation was carried out on liver samples from F0 and F1 and F2 embryos and MeDIP samples were labeled with Cy5 and hybridised to a zebrafish CGI tiling array versus Cy3-labled zebrafish genomic DNA. The objective was to determine DNA methylation changes following chemical exposure and whether these persisted transgenerationally.

A systematic search for transgenerational effect of drug exposure to adult males using a novel Drosophila model

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster adult flies fed on food containing 16 mg/ml of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) in the food show a hyperkinetic behavior within 24 hours. Half of that concentration, i.e., 8 mg/ml, of PTZ, if fed for seven days, though doesn’t cause seizure-like behavior, results in a decreased climbing speed in flies. This change in locomotor behavior is progressive and becomes significant only on seventh day of the treatment. We also examined flies’ locomotor behavior secondary to PTZ withdrawal. Interestingly, an increased climbing speed was found to develop seven days after withdrawal. Importantly, antiepileptic drugs showed effectiveness in the above fly model. Earlier, we submitted in GEO time series of fly head microarray gene expression profiling during chronic PTZ and PTZ withdrawal phase. We also submitted previously expression profiles associated with antiepileptic drug treatment. Here, we have undertaken a different line of work. Having developed a well characterized acquired model of behavioral and gene expression plasticity, we found an opportunity here to investigate if drug exposure to adult males could cause transgenerational effect. To probe this, we carried out a systematic study at both behavioral and microarray gene expression levels. In the latter, we asked the question that do F0 testis, F1 males’ head, F1 females’ head, F1 testis, F2 males’ head and F2 females’ head show gene expression changes if F0 male parents had a history of PTZ exposure? A total of 28 microarray slides were used in this study.

Transcriptomic profiling in a Drosophila model of diet induced transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.

Project description:The study was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes in 1) whole flies that were fed a high sugar diet (HSD), in comparison to flies treated with control diet (CD), and 2) HSD male line derived F1 and F2 progenies, compared to that derived through CD male line. The ancestral HSD exposure of F1 or F2 flies was thus limited only to F0 males. However, besides comparing F1 and F2 flies raised on CD, the F1 and F2 flies treated with HSD were also compared. F0 HSD females were profiled but not used for the mating purpose.

High-throughput sequencing analysis identify miRNAs in 7dpf F1-zebrafish under Î²-diketone antibiotics exposure to F0-zebrafish

Project description:Small RNA high-throughput sequencing technology was used to characterize the miRNAs in F1-zebrafish after 90-day Î²-diketoneÂ antibiotic (DKA) exposure to F0-zebrafish at 6.25 and 12.5 mg/L. The small RNA libraries from 7-dpf F1-zebrafish were constructed. In total, 10,117,347, 9,818,830 and 12,049,949 raw reads were acquired, respectively, under the different DKA-exposure treatments (0, 6.25 mg/L and 12.5mg/L) from the three miRNAs libraries by Illumina sequencing. Low-quality reads were removed, which included 5' contaminants, those missing the 3' primer or insert tag, sequences with a poly A tail, and those shorter than 17 nt and longer than 25 nt. As a result, 8,141,146 (representing 312,735 unique sequences; control), 8,687,210 (representing 251,508 unique sequences; 6.25 mg/L), and 10,569,566 (representing 441,938 unique sequences; 12.5 mg/L) valid reads in the 17 to 25 nt size range were isolated for further analysis. The sRNAs from the three libraries were similar, and the unique sRNA reads were mainly distributed in the 20-24 nt range, among which 22 and 23 nt accounted for 41.8% and 20.0% of total unique sRNA reads, respectively. The 22-nt sRNAs were the most abundant, with the length distribution of counts of sequ-seqs and unique miRNAs displaying a normal distribution. Sample 1: Examination of small RNA in 7-dpf F1-zebrafish after 90-day DKA exposure to F0-zebrafish at 0 mg/L; Sample 2: Examination of small RNA in 7-dpf F1-zebrafish after 90-day DKA exposure to F0-zebrafish at 6.25 mg/L; Sample 3: Examination of small RNA in 7-dpf F1-zebrafish after 90-day DKA exposure to F0-zebrafish at 12.5 mg/L.

Glyphosate Induced Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Pathologies and Sperm Epimutations: Generational Toxicology

Project description:One of the most widely used agricultural compounds worldwide is the herbicide glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine), commonly known as Roundup. The current study using a transient exposure of gestating F0 generation female rats found negligible impacts of glyphosate on the directly exposed F0 generation or F1 generation offspring, but dramatic increases in pathologies in the F2 generation grand-offspring and F3 transgenerational great-grand-offspring. The transgenerational pathologies observed include prostate disease, obesity, kidney disease, ovarian disease, and parturition (birth) abnormalities. Epigenetic analysis of the F1, F2 and F3 generation sperm identified altered DNA methylation.

Transgenerational transcriptomic and DNA methylome profiling of mouse fetal testicular germline and somatic cells after exposure of pregnant mothers to tributyltin, a potent obesogen

Project description:Obesogens such as tributyltin (TBT) are xenobiotic compounds that promote obesity, in part by distorting the normal balance of lipid metabolism. The obesogenic effects of TBT can be observed in directly exposed (F1 and F2 generations) and also subsequent generations (F3 and beyond) that were never exposed. To address the effects of TBT exposure on germ cells, we exposed pregnant transgenic OG2 mouse dams (F0), which specifically express EGFP in germline cells, to an environmentally relevant dose of TBT throughout gestation through drinking water. When fed with a high fat diet (HFD), F3 male offspring of TBT-exposed F0 dams (TBT-F3) accumulated much more body fat than did Control-F3 males. TBT-F3 males also lost more body fluid and lean compositions than did Control-F3 males. Expression of genes involved in transcriptional regulation or mesenchymal differ-entiation was upregulated in somatic cells of TBT-F1 (but not TBT-F3) E18.5 fetal testes, and promoter-associated CpG islands were hyper-methylated in TBT-F1 somatic cells. Global mRNA expression of protein-coding genes in F1 or F3 fetal testicular cells was unaffected by F0 exposure to TBT; however, expression of a subset of endogenous retroviruses was significantly affected in F1 and F3. We infer that TBT may directly target testicular somatic cells in F1 testes to irreversibly affect epigenetic suppression of endogenous retroviruses in both germline and somatic cells.
