Project description:In the present study we investigate the effect of maternal pulmonary exposure to titanium dioxide (UV-Titan designed for use in the paint and lacquer industry) on prenatally exposed offspring. Time-mated mice (C57BL/6BomTac) were exposed by inhalation for 1 h/day to 42 mg UV-titan/m3 aerosolized powder or filtered air during gestation days (GD) 8-18. We evaluated levels of DNA strand breaks using the comet assay in bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) cells and liver cells of the time-mated mice, and in liver cells of the offspring. In parallel, we analyzed changes in gene expression in the liver tissue of offspring using DNA microarrays. We demonstrate that UV-Titan did not induce DNA strand breaks in the time-mated mice or their offspring. Transcriptional profiling of newborn liver tissue revealed changes in the expression of genes related to the retinoic acid (RA) signalling pathway in the females, while gene expression in male offspring was relatively unaffected by exposure. Time-mated, nulliparous mice (C57BL/6BomTac, Taconic Europe, Ejby, Denmark) were exposed to filtered clean air or approximately 42 mg/m3 UV-Titan on GD 8M-bM-^@M-^S18 for 1 hr/day by a whole-body exposure.Delivery was expected on GD 20, and designated postnatal day (PND) 0. On PND 2, one offspring (M-bM-^@M-^\newbornM-bM-^@M-^]) per litter was killed by decapitation, to yield litters with at least 5 offspring per exposure group. The newborn offspring were collected two days after birth. On PND 23-24 (M-bM-^@M-^\at weaningM-bM-^@M-^]) one male and one female per litter were killed. Organs were dissected, weighed, placed in NUNC cryotubes, snap frozen in liquid N2 and stored at -80M-BM-0C until analysis. Exposed dams were killed on PND 24-25 (26-27 days after last exposure). DNA strad break detection was carried out in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in dams by COMET assay. Total RNA was extracted from offspring livers and gene expression profiling was carried out on whole liver tissues from offspring. 9 UV-Titan treated and 7 controls mice consisting of 8 males and 8 females mRNA, hepatic, developmental, Toxicogenomics, nano-titanium dioxide

Project description:Scnn1b-Tg mice overexpress the beta subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (Scnn1b) in airway Club cells. The general phenotype of these mice is described in three published manuscripts (Mall et al. 2004, Nature Medicine, 10(5):487-93; Mall et al. 2008, Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 177(7):730-42; Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Physiol. Genomics 44(8):470-84; and Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Mucosal Immunology 5(4):397-408). Briefly, overexpression of the Scnn1b transgene in airway Club cells leads to hyperabsorption of sodium from the airway surface liquid, which causes airway surface liquid and mucus dehydration, resulting in reduced mucus clearance and airway mucus obstruction. The data provided here represents mRNA expression data from disseccted whole lung from male WT and Scnn1b-transgenic littermates (C57Bl/6NTac background) at 4 time points [postnatal days (PND) 0, 3, 10, and 42]. Histologically, PND 0 lungs are normal, at PND 3 the intrapulmonary airways exhibit transient and spotty Club cell necrosis, and by PND 10 airway mucus obstruction is evident in the proximal portion of the intrapulmonary main stem bronchus. At PND 42, Scnn1b-Tg lungs are charactyerized by chronic low level inflammation, with activated macrophages, neutrophilia, eosinophilia and increased incidence of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue. The data from the WT mice provides a global look at mRNA post-natal developmental changes, while the data from the Scnn1b-transgenic line allows differential gene expression due to airway surface liquid dehydration and mucus obstruction to be queried. The data presented for the lung is part of a larger body of work evaluating gene expression in lung (left lobe only), trachea, and purified macrophages (from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid). 24 Total lung (left lobe only) samples were analyzed; three from each timepoint for each genotype (wild type and Scnn1b-transgenic). In our manuscript, we were most interested in changes between WT and Scnn1b-Tg mice, however, the data can also be used to evaluate changes in gene expression across time (PND 0, 3, 10, and 42). We generated the following pairwise comparisons: Scnn1b-Tg vs WT mice for each PND time point; Intra-strain comparison between PND 3, or 10, or 42 vs PND 0.

Project description:<p><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Prostatitis is likely to occur in younger or middle-aged men, while prostate cancer is likely to occur in older men. Although amino acids and lipids as biomarkers of prostate cancer have been examined using prostate cancer cell lines/tissues, no previous studies have evaluated amino acids or lipids as potential chronic prostatitis biomarkers.</p><p><strong>OBJECTIVES:</strong> The study's aim was to identify amino acids and lipids that could serve as potential biomarkers of chronic prostatitis.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> We profiled the amino acids and lipids found in plasma from rats collected in a previous study. In brief, a total of 148 Sprague-Dawley rats (offspring) were dosed with estradiol benzoate (EB) on postnatal days (PNDs) 1, 3 and 5, and subsequently dosed with testosterone (T)/estradiol (E) tubes via subcutaneous implants from PND 90 to 200. Plasma was collected on PNDs 30, 90, 100, 145 and 200. Analysis was conducted with a Xevo TQ-S triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer using a Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Plasma acylcarnitines [(C2, C16:1, C18, C18:1, C18:1-OH, and C18:2)], glycerophospholipids (lysophosphatidylcholine-acyl, -di-acyl, and -di-acyl acyl-alkyl) and sphingomyelins [SM (OH) C16:1, SM C18:0, SM C18:1, and SM C20:2] significantly increased on PND 145, when chronic inflammation was observed in the dorsolateral prostate of rats dosed with EB, T, and E. No statistical significances of amino acid levels were observed in the EB + T + E group on PND 145.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Exposure to EB, T, and E altered lipid levels in rat plasma with chronic prostate inflammation.

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical biological role in a variety of pathophysiological processes by suppressing their target genes. However, little is known on the miRNAs expression profiles of lung tissues in silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. To investigate miRNAs of interest in regulation of pulmonary fibrosis, total RNA was isolated from mice lungs collected at day 0, day 3, day 7, day 14, day 28 and day 56 after silica exposure. Then, miRNA microarray was performed with one mouse lung at each time point. miRNA microarray was performed with one mouse lung at day 0, day 3, day 7, day 14, day 28 and day 56 after silica exposure to investigate the miRNAs expression profiles of lung tissues in silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Mouse lung tissues were selected at each time point after treatment for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain homogeneous populations of lungs at each fibrotic stage in order to increase the temporal resolution of expression profiles. To that end, we hand-selected lung tissues according to morphological criteria at five time-points: before silica exposure, i.e. day 0 (D0), the early inflammation phase day 3 (D3) and day 7 (D7), the late inflammation phase, day 14 (D14), the fibrosis phase,i.e. day 28 (D28) and day (D56).

Project description:Adolescent binge alcohol exposure has been previously shown to have long-lasting effects on the expression of hypothalamic genes that regulate the stress response, even in the absence of subsequent adult alcohol exposure. Those data suggested that alcohol can induce permanent gene expression changes, potentially through epigenetic modifications. Importantly, epigenetic modifications can be transmitted to future generations therefore, in these studies we investigated the effects of adolescent binge alcohol exposure on hypothalamic gene expression patterns in the F1 generation offspring. It has been well documented that maternal alcohol exposure during fetal development can have devastating neurological consequences. However, less is known about the consequences of maternal and/or paternal alcohol exposure outside of the gestational time frame. Here, we exposed adolescent male and female rats to a repeated binge EtOH exposure paradigm and then mated them in adulthood. Hypothalamic samples were taken from the offspring of these animals at postnatal day (PND) 7 and subjected to a genome-wide microarray analysis followed by qRT-PCR for selected genes. Importantly, the parents were not intoxicated at the time of mating and were not exposed to EtOH at any time during gestation therefore, the offspring were never directly exposed to EtOH. Our results showed that the offspring of alcohol-exposed parents had significant differences in the expression of hypothalamic genes that mediate neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity during neurodevelopment, genes important for directing chromatin remodeling, posttranslational modifications or transcription regulation, as well as genes involved in regulation of obesity and reproductive function. These data demonstrate that repeated binge alcohol exposure during pubertal development can potentially have detrimental effects on future offspring even in the absence of direct fetal alcohol exposure. Male and female Wistar rats were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA) at weaning (postnatal day (PND) 23) and allowed to acclimate for 7 days after arrival. Animals were handled for 5 min./once/day beginning at PND 30. Pubertal EtOH exposure began on PND 37, which is defined as peri-puberty. Animals were undisturbed following the first exposure of our binge EtOH exposure paradigm until PND 68 (late puberty/early adult) at which time they received a second exposure to the same treatment paradigm. During the duration of the experiment, males and females were separately housed in pairs on a 12:12 light/dark cycle with lights on at 0700 h with food and water available ad libitum. Binge Exposure Paradigm and Treatment Design. Rats were handled 5min./once/day for 7 d prior to treatment to control for nonspecific stress responses. At 37 d, animals were given 3 g/kg EtOH (20% v/v in tap water; N = 3/sex), or tap water alone (N = 3/sex), once/day via oral gavage at 10:00 AM to avoid disrupting normal feeding patterns. This process was repeated according to the following schedule for a total duration of 8 consecutive days: 3 d EtOH, 2 d tap water, 3 d EtOH. Control animals were given tap water alone once/day for 8 consecutive days. Our previous studies showed that this repeated binge-pattern EtOH paradigm does not affect body weight/growth curves and consistently results in blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) of 150-180 mg/dl in males and 210-240 mg/dl in females. We and others have previously used this paradigm as a model for the pattern of binge alcohol consumption observed in adolescents and BAC achieved are similar to those observed in humans following a binge drinking episode . After peri-pubertal treatments, animals were left undisturbed in their home cage until PND 68 when each group was again exposed to their respective treatment (i.e. control or binge EtOH. We waited 24 hours after the last dose of EtOH to ensure that blood alcohol concentrations in the parents were undetectable at the time of mating (data not shown). Animals were grouped into mating pairs: binge male + binge female (N = 3 pairs); water male + water female (N = 3 pairs). All of the females gave birth to 12-16 pups approximately 28 d after being housed with a male, indicating that conception took place approximately 6 d after pairing; therefore, the pups were never directly exposed to alcohol at any time. At PND 7 pups were deeply anesthetized on ice and sacrificed. Brains were rapidly removed, the hypothalamus microdissected on ice, and then stored in -80ºC until further processing for a genome-wide analysis on hypothalamic total RNA samples using a chip-based microarray (Southern California Genotyping Consortium, SCGC, Illumina Rat Ref-12). The PND 7 time point was chosen because the extent of rat neurodevelopment at PND 7 is roughly equivalent to that of a human infant at birth

Project description:Non-invasive or minimally invasive surrogate approaches to detect/predict target organ toxicity have significant practical applications in occupational toxicology. Presently, using a rat model, we have investigated the potential application of peripheral blood transcriptomics as a practical approach to study the mechanisms of silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Rats were exposed by inhalation to crystalline silica for one week (15 mg/m3, 6-hours/day, 5 days/week). Pulmonary toxicity and global gene expression profiles of lungs and peripheral blood were determined in the control and silica exposed rats at 32-weeks following termination of silica exposure. A significant elevation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and moderate histological changes in the lungs, including type II pneumocyte hyperplasia and fibrosis, indicated silica-induced pulmonary toxicity in the rats. Similarly, significant infiltration of neutrophils and elevated monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP1) level in the lungs suggested silica-induced pulmonary inflammation in the rats. Microarray analysis of global gene expression profiles identified significant differential expression (>1.5 fold change and FDR p<0.01) of 520 and 537 genes, respectively, in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially expressed genes demonstrated significant similarity in the biological processes, molecular networks, and canonical pathways enriched by silica exposure in the lungs and blood of the rats. Several genes involved in functions relevant to silica-induced pulmonary toxicity such as inflammation, respiratory diseases, cancer, cellular movement, fibrosis, etc, were found significantly differentially expressed in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. The results of this study, in addition to providing molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity, suggested the potential application of peripheral blood gene expression profiling as a toxicologically relevant and minimally invasive surrogate approach to study the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity.

A total of 12 rat blood samples were analyzed in this gene expression experiment. Rats were exposed to crystalline silica at a concentration of 15 mg/m3, 6-hours/day for 5 consecutive days. Rats exposed simultaneously to filtered air served as the controls. The control (n=6) and silica exposed (n=6) rats were sacrificed at post-exposure time interval of 32 weeks following termination of silica exposure and blood gene expression profiles were determined.

Project description:Liver gene transcripts patterns were used to characterize toxicity from exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), flame retardant components. In this study, Wistar Han dams were exposed by gavage to the PBDE mixture (DE71) starting at gestation day 6 (GD 6) and continuing to weaning on postnatal day 21 (PND 21). Offspring from the dams began PBDE direct dosing on PND 12 and were dosed daily through PND 21. After weaning, they were dosed 5 days per week for another 13 weeks. Liver samples were collected at PND 22 and week 13 for liver gene expression analysis and interrogated with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array. PBDE treatment induced 1,066 liver gene transcript changes in females and 1,200 transcriptional changes in males at PND 22 (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.01), but only 263 liver transcriptional changes at 13 weeks in male rats (FDR <0.05). No significant differences in dose response were found between male and female pups.
