Nitroparaffin Transcriptional Profiles and Toxicokinetics Support Chemical-Specific Carcinogenicity Assessment

ABSTRACT: The toxicological profiles of nitroparaffins—nitromethane (NM), nitroethane (NE), and 1-nitropropane (1NP)—remain incompletely characterized. This has led to reliance on read-across approaches, extrapolating carcinogenicity data from NM to NE and 1NP, though the validity of such extrapolations is uncertain. In this study, we examined the concentration-dependent transcriptional effects of NM, NE, and 1NP in primary rat hepatocytes to clarify their cellular impact and mechanisms of toxicity. We assessed cytotoxicity, differential gene expression, and pathway enrichment, and applied in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) to estimate systemic bioavailability and clearance rates. Cytotoxicity was observed at 3 mM for NM and NE but not up to 10 mM for 1NP. Transcriptomic profiling revealed minimal overlap in dysregulated genes and enriched pathways among the three compounds. NE elicited the broadest transcriptional response, whereas NM and 1NP showed more limited effects. IVIVE further indicated distinct systemic bioavailability and clearance, suggesting toxicokinetic differences. Taken together, these results demonstrate that structural similarity alone does not predict comparable toxicological behavior. Each nitroparaffin exhibited unique molecular activity and toxicokinetics, indicating that read-across within this class requires demonstrated concordance in both bioactivity and toxicokinetic profiles, which are currently absent for NE, NM and 1NP. Thus, reliance on read-across from NM to NE or 1NP may misrepresent health risks and carries significant regulatory implications.

Coordinated metabolic transitions and gene expression by NAD+ during adipogenesis.

Project description:Adipocytes are the main cell type in adipose tissue, a critical regulator of metabolism, highly specialized in storing energy as fat. Adipocytes differentiate from multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells through adipogenesis. Using RNA-seq we explored the effect of manipulating NAD+ bioavailability during adipogenic differentiation from human mesenchymal stem cells. Cells were harvested either undifferentiated (hMSC) or after days 8 and 16 of adipogenic induction. During adipogenesis, cells were treated with either NAD+ (5 mM), or FK866 (1 nM) or EX527 (50 μM).

Understanding toxicity pathways of gold nanoparticles: RNA expression study on Caco-2 human colon carcinoma cells

Project description:A safer design and higher eficacy of nano-gold therapeutic formulations requires examination of cellular responses to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In this work we compared cellular uptake, cytotoxicity and RNA expression patterns induced in Caco-2 cells of citrate-stabilized Au NP of two different sizes (5 and 30 nm). The toxicity was measured with Colony Forming Efficiency (CFE) and Trypan Blue assays at 24 and 72 h after exposure to AuNPs in the 10 - 300 mM range. Toxicity was observed only in the CFE assay, at 200 and 300 mM exposure levels, and exclusively for smaller AuNPs size. Cellular internalization was dose and time-dependent for both AuNPs. The most pronounced changes in gene expression, evaluated with Agilent microarrays, were detected at 72 h (300 mM) for 5 nm AuNPs, with 103 up and 708 down regulated transcripts. For 30 nm AuNPs, only 4 gene transcripts were repressed under these conditions. The biological processes affected by 5 nm AuNPs were: RNA/zinc ion/transition metal ion binding (decreased), cadmium/copper ion binding and glutathione metabolism (increased). Some Nrf2 responsive genes (several metallothioneins, HMOX, G6PD, OSGIN1 and GPX2) were highly up regulated. Members of the selenoproteins (SELT, SELK, 15 kDa selenoprotein, SEPP1 and GPX2) were also differentially expressed. Our findings indicate that at high concentrations, smaller AuNPs can induce metal exposure and oxidative stress signaling pathways, and might influence selenium homeostasis. Therefore, some observed effects associated with nano-gold cytotoxicity can be further explored as potential enhancers of anti-cancer properties of already existing AuNPs based nanomedicin.

Intravenous Norepinephrine for Orthostatic Hypotension

Project description:<p>Patients with chronic autonomic failure (CAF) often have disabling orthostatic hypotension (OH). OH in CAF patients is often associated with supine hypertension (hypertension while lying down), which can be severe. Drugs to treat OH worsen supine hypertension. Therefore, the combination of OH with supine hypertension poses a difficult therapeutic challenge. This protocol is a first step toward development of a way to maintain blood pressure during standing without worsening hypertension while lying down. The research question is will a drug (norepinephrine) given intravenously (IV) prevent blood pressure from falling in patients with orthostatic hypotension. </p> <p>This is a placebo controlled, blinded study of 15 patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. The study consists of two experimental days per participant. On a day before the day of norepinephrine (NE) infusion, the patient undergoes head-up tilting while blood pressure is monitored. Tilt angles are increased until the patient has orthostatic symptoms, systolic pressure decreases to less than 90 mm Hg, or systolic pressure decreases by more than 80 mm Hg. On the day of NE infusion patients, receive NE and placebo with the sequence of treatments randomized. If the patient has severe supine hypertension (more than 200 mm Hg systolic), then NE is infused beginning with the patient at whatever tilt angle is required for baseline pressure to be less than 200 mm Hg. NE is infused at doses titrated to keep directly recorded systolic blood pressure at or above the baseline value during exposure to higher tilt angles. When placebo is given, angles of tilt are increased until the patient has orthostatic symptoms, systolic pressure decreases to less than 90 mm Hg, or systolic pressure decreases by more than 80 mm Hg. </p>

Sympathetic neuron-associated macrophages contribute to obesity by importing and metabolizing norepinephrine

Project description:The cellular mechanism(s) linking macrophages to norepinephrine (NE)-mediated regulation of thermogenesis has been a topic of debate. Here, we identify sympathetic neuron-associated macrophages (SAMs) as a population of macrophages that mediate clearance of NE via expression of Slc6a2, an NE transporter, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOa), a degradation enzyme. Optogenetic activation of the SNS upregulates NE uptake by SAMs and shifts the SAM profile to a more pro-inflammatory state. NE uptake by SAMs is prevented by genetic depletion of Slc6a2 or inhibition of the transporter. We also found that obesity increases SAM content in the SNS. In two mouse models of obesity, genetic ablation of Slc6a2 in SAMs increases brown adipose tissue (BAT) content, causes browning of white fat, increases thermogenesis and leads to significant and sustained weight loss. We further show that this pathway is conserved as human sympathetic ganglia also contain SAMs and the analogous molecular machinery for NE clearance, thus constituting a potential target for obesity treatment.

Comparative genomics and interactomics of polyadenylation factors for the prediction of new parasite targets: Entamoeba histolytica as a working model

Project description:E. histolytica trophozoites (3x105) harvested in exponential growth phase were transferred to 25 cm² cell culture flasks and grown at 37°C for 24 h. Then, parasites were exposed to irradiation in a 254 nm UV-transilluminator (BioDoc-It Imaging System (UVP)) for 30 min at 4°C (Valdés et al., 2014) and cytoplasmic (CE) and nuclear (NE) extracts were obtained using the NE-PER Kit (Thermo Scientific™) according to manufacturer instructions. Immunoprecipitation (IP) assays were performed using Dynabeads protein A/G (Invitrogen) following manufacturer recommendations. Briefly, Dynabead magnetic beads (25 µl) were coupled with 10 µg of anti-HsCFIm25 polyclonal antibody (GeneTex, GTX115535) and anti-EhCFIm25 polyclonal antibody, previously produced and validated by our group (Pezet-Valdez et al., 2013) for 30 min at room temperature. Then, beads-antibody complex was incubated with NE (100 µg) for 2 h at 37°C followed by three washes with wash buffer (20 mM Tris, pH 7.5; 0.5M NaCl and 0.05% Tween 20). Finally, magnetic bead- antibodies-proteins complex was resuspended in elution buffer (0.1 M glycine, pH 2.0) for 2 minutes at room temperature to dissociate the complex; the tube was placed on the magnet and the supernatant containing eluted antibody and bound proteins was collected.
