Transcriptomic Profiling of Mitochondrial RNA in HepG2 Cells Exposed to GenX, a Short-Chain PFAS

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the transcriptomic effects of GenX on the mitochondria of human liver HepG2 cells. Cells were exposed to GenX at 10 µM and 100 µM concentrations for 48 hours. Mitochondria were isolated and mitochondrial RNA was extracted using TRIzol. High-quality RNA samples were sequenced using ribosomal-RNA-depleted libraries on the Illumina NovaSeq platform. Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) such as hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (GenX) are emerging environmental contaminants with increasing concern regarding their potential mitochondrial toxicity. This BioProject investigated the effects of GenX exposure on mitochondrial gene expression in human hepatic HepG2 cells. Cells were treated with GenX at 10 µM and 100 µM concentrations for 48 hours, followed by mitochondrial isolation and RNA sequencing of mitochondrial transcripts. Mitochondrial transcriptomic analysis revealed regulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, redox homeostasis, and apoptotic signaling. This dataset provides a resource for understanding PFAS induced mitochondrial dysfunction and hepatotoxicity mechanisms.

Transcriptomic responses of zebrafish embryos to sublethal exposure to GenX (HFPO-DA): A 96-Hour RNA-seq Study

Project description:GenX (HFPO-DA) is a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) increasingly used as a replacement for legacy compounds such as PFOA, but its environmental persistence and potential toxicity raise concerns. Traditional chemical risk assessment is time- and resource-intensive and provides limited insight into underlying mechanisms. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to sublethal concentrations of GenX for 96 hours, and RNA sequencing was used to assess concentration-dependent changes in gene expression. These data allow identification of sensitive transcriptional responses and affected biological pathways, supporting the use of transcriptomic approaches for mechanistic, 3R-compliant evaluation of GenX toxicity.

Fetal and maternal liver expression post gestational exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA or GenX) in CD-1 mice

Project description:Multiple per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been associated with adverse liver outcomes in adult humans and toxicological models, but effects on the developing liver or biologic pathways involved are not known. We performed whole-transcriptome gene expression analysis to investigate the molecular mechanisms of liver toxicity in the dam and female fetuses after exposure to two different PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its replacement, hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA, commonly referred to as GenX).

Placenta gene expression postdevelopmental exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA or GenX) in CD-1 mice

Project description:Multiple per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been associated with adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes in humans and animals. While the underlying mechanism(s) through which exposure to PFAS may induce these adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes is not known, it has been posited that the placenta may be an important target and/or mediator. We performed whole-transcriptome gene expression analysis to investigate the molecular mechanisms underpinning the effects on placental health after prenatal exposure to two different PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its replacement, hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA, commonly referred to as GenX). This dataset is derived from sequencing of the same animals that were reported in GSE199233.

Acute GenX exposure induces spinal deformations and arrhythmia, and alters expression of genes involved in cardiac, vascular, neural, and visual systems during zebrafish (Danio rerio) early development

Project description:This study assessed the potential for GenX exposure to exert adverse effects during early development of zebrafish using morphological and physiological assessments, and further performed gene expression analysis on sublethal exposures to evaluate the underlying toxicogenomics. Zebrafish embryos exposed to GenX concentrations of 0.5 – 20000 mg/L were assessed at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-fertilization (hpf) for morphology, physiology, and survival. Shallow RNA-sequencing analysis of 9465 transcripts identified 38 genes that were consistently differentially expressed at 0.5, 1, 2, and 10 mg/L GenX exposures (compared to control at 72 hpf). Downregulated genes are associated with neurotransmission (6 genes) and visual response (10 genes), and upregulated genes are expressed in or regulate the cardiovascular system (7 genes). Our results suggest acute adverse effects by the alternative PFAS, GenX, in early zebrafish development by altering expression of genes involved in or regulating the heart and vascular tissue, neurotransmission, and visual response.

Transcriptional profilling of liver from C57BL/6 wildtype and PPARα-knockout mice treated with PFOA and GenX after 20 weeks of high-fat diet

Project description:Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals with suspected endocrine-disrupting properties. Exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been linked to disturbed metabolism via the liver, although the exact mechanism is not clear. Moreover, information on the metabolic effects of the new PFAS alternative GenX is limited. We tested whether low-dose exposure to PFOA and GenX induces metabolic disturbances, including NAFLD, dyslipidemia, and glucose tolerance in mice and studied the involvement of PPARα. To this end, male C57BL/6J wildtype and PPARα−/− mice were given 0.05 or 0.3 mg/kg bw/day PFOA, or 0.3 mg/kg bw/day GenX next to a high-fat diet for 20 weeks. RNA sequencing was performed on liver, next to thorough assesment of metabolic parameters. RNA sequencing revealed that whereas the effects of GenX are entirely dependent on PPARα, effects of PFOA are mostly dependent on PPARα. In the absence of PPARα, the involvement of PXR/CAR becomes more prominent. Exposure to high-dose PFOA in mice decreased body weights and increased liver weights in wildtype and PPARα−/− mice. High-dose but not low-dose PFOA reduced plasma triglycerides and cholesterol, which for triglycerides, showed PPARα dependency. PFOA and GenX increased hepatic triglycerides in a PPARα-dependent manner. Overall, we show that long-term and low-dose exposure to PFOA and GenX disrupts lipid metabolism in mice. Whereas the effects of PFOA are mediated by multiple nuclear receptors, effects of GenX are entirely mediated by PPARα. Our data underscore the potential of PFAS to disrupt metabolism by altering signaling pathways in the liver.

With the introduction of nanoplastics, the physiological distinctions between PFOA and its substitute GenX on two types of freshwater algae became less pronounced.

Project description:Nanoplastics will carry PFAs, achieving "secondary transport", which in turn affects more metabolic processes, especially the enzymes of the translation system. This ultimately increased the physiological damage and growth inhibition of PFAs on algal cells, reduced the difference in physiological effects of different types of PFAs on algal cells, and increased the risk of GenX.

Identifying Human Specific Adverse Outcome Pathways of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Using Liver-Chimeric Humanized Mice

Project description:We investigated the effects of per- and polyfluroralkyl substance exposure on FRG liver-chimeric humanized mice on a C57Bl/6 background. These PFAS included PFOA, PFOS, and GenX. These mice were exposed to water ad libitum for 28 days to reach human relevant serum concentrations. We then performed RNA-Sequencing on isolated whole liver lysate to determine differentially expressed genes.

Blood transcriptome responses to PFOA and GenX treatment in the marsupial biomedical model Monodelphis domestica

Project description:The objective of our study is to investigate the effect of PFOA and GenX on the gene expression levels in Monodelphis domestica whole blood cultures by RNA-seq and identify the major susceptible genes. We identified 578 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the PFOA treatment group and 148 DEGs in the GenX treatment group. 10 genes were selected for qRT-PCR validation and were confirmed to be DEGs. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that several developmental processes were altered after PFOA exposure and showed an up-regulated pattern. And down-regulated DEGs after PFOA exposure were enriched for metabolic process and immune system process. GenX exposure is associated with up-regulated fatty acid transport pathways and inflammatory process. Our study is the first one to investigate the effects of PFASs on marsupial animals, providing supportive evidence of the similar transcriptomic alterations caused by PFOA and a fluorinated alternative GenX, which can work as a complement of the previous studies of PFASs effects on rodent or human.
