Project description:Hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls are the metabolites produced from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by drug-metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 1A1. These compounds are bound to transthyretin, a major plasma thyroid hormone-binding protein in amphibian tadpoles. The compounds-transthyretin complexes are transferred into the brain across the blood brain barrier in mammals. Thus these compounds are suspected to disrupt neural development in brain. We studied about the effects of hydroxylated PCBs on the thyroid system in brain using metamorphosing tadpoles of African clawed toad, Xenopus laevis. The metamorphosis assay revealed that these compounds had inhibitory effects on the thyroid hormone-induced metamorphosis. This in vivo assay was a powerful tool to detect thyroid-disrupting activities, because we were not able to detect the inhibitory effects of these compounds using thyroid hormone-responsive reporter gene assay in a cultured Xenopus cell line. A genome-wide gene expression analysis in brain following short-term exposure to these compounds demonstrated that the delay of metamorphosis and the morphological thyroid-disrupting changes could be caused partially by disruption of the thyroid hormone-induced gene expression by hydroxylated PCBs. Furthermore, we associated functional ontology terms with the transcripts whose expression were altered by thyroid hormone alone, or thyroid hormone and hydroxylated PCBs. We suggested that these approachs using a technique of bioinformatics revealed molecular mechanism of thyroid-disrupting activities in vivo. Thyroid hormones induce amphibian metamorphosis and alter a lot of thyroid hormone-responsive gene expression. We studied about the effects of hydroxylated PCBs on TH-induced gene expression. Premetamorphic tadpoles were treated with 500 nM hydroxylated PCBs in the presence of 1 nM thyroid hormone for 4 days. After exposure period total RNA was extracted from brain. Study included at least three replicate of each treatment.

Project description:Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental toxicants that pose a variety of health risks in humans. PCB 52 has been found in the indoor air of schools where adolescent students and staff are being actively exposed. This study examined the livers of adolescent Sprague-Dawley rats after sub-acute exposure to PCB 52 via nose-only inhalation. Rats were exposed for 4 hours daily for 28 consecutive days. RNA extracted from both male and female livers were submitted for RNA sequencing to compare the effects of PCB 52 on the expression of genes in the liver.

Project description:Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental toxicants that pose a variety of health risks in humans. PCB 52 has been found in the indoor air of schools where adolescent students and staff are being actively exposed. This study examined the three different fat depots, namely, brown adipose tissue (BAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT), of adolescent Sprague-Dawley rats after sub-acute exposure to PCB 52 via nose-only inhalation. Rats were exposed for 4 hours daily for 28 consecutive days. RNA extracted from both male and female fat depots were submitted for RNA sequencing to compare the effects of PCB 52 on the expression of genes in the fat depots.

Project description:Exposure to polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) is known to cause serious health effects in human but the gene expression profiles leading to development of different diseases and disorders are not fully understood. The knowledge of global gene expression will help us to develop early disease or disorder biomarkers for PCB-induced health effects. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile underlying the effects of high PCB exposure to Slovak 45-month-old children leading to identification of distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes and cellular processes.

Project description:Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and high fat diet (HFD) results in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in mice by altering intracellular signaling and inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling. Post-transcriptional chemical modification (PTM) of RNA regulates biological processes. This study tested the hypothesis that PCB exposure alters the global RNA epitranscriptome in HFD-fed male mouse liver. C57BL/6J male mice were fed a 42% milk fat diet (HFD) and exposed to Aroclor 1260 (20mg/kg), PCB 126 (20 µg/kg), both Aroclor 1260 and PCB 126, or vehicle control for 12 weeks. RNA modifications altered by PCB exposure were analyzed in comparison to the readers, writers, and erasers of these marks in the RNA transcriptome.

Project description:Killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabiting the New Bedford Harbor (NBH) Superfund Site have evolved resistance to the toxic and biochemical effects of non-ortho (dioxin-like) polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) and other compounds that act via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling pathway. However, the majority of PCBs in NBH are ortho-substituted (non-DL) PCBs (o-PCBs), and the impacts of these o-PCBs on fish populations are not well understood. To determine whether the NBH killifish population has adapted to o-PCBs, we performed a series of experiments involving exposure to killifish embryos and adults from NBH and a reference site (Scorton Creek; SC) to 2,2’,4,4’,5,5’-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB-153), a model o-PCB. PCB-153 was not acutely embryotoxic to developing F2 killifish embryos (SC or NBH) at concentrations up to 28 µM. RNA-seq showed that SC embryos exposed to PCB-153 (28 µM for 6 hr at 10 days post fertilization) had changes in the expression of genes involved in glucose homeostasis. However, NBH embryos were much less sensitive to these effects of PCB-153. When adult killifish from SC and NBH were exposed to PCB-153 (20 mg/kg) and sampled 3 days later for gene expression, many more genes were affected in forebrains of SC fish than in NBH fish, in a sex-specific manner. Together, these results demonstrate that NBH killifish have evolved reduced sensitivity to o-PCBs, suggesting complex adaptation to chemical mixtures at a Superfund site.

Project description:Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are developmental neurotoxicants implicated as environmental risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). We examined the effects of prenatal exposure to a human-relevant mixture of PCBs on the DNA methylation profiles of fetal mouse brain and placenta. We found thousands of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) distinguishing placentas and brains from PCB-exposed embryos from sex-matched vehicle controls. In both placenta and brain, PCB-associated DMRs were enriched for functions related to neurodevelopment and cellular signaling and enriched within regions of bivalent chromatin. The placenta and brain PCB DMRs overlapped significantly and mapped to a shared subset of genes enriched for Wnt signaling, Slit/Robo signaling, and genes differentially expressed in NDD models. PBC DMRs also significantly overlapped with DMRs from the brains of humans with Rett syndrome and Dup15q syndrome. These results demonstrate that placenta can be used as a surrogate for embryonic brain DNA methylation changes relevant to an NDD.
