Wildfire Smoke Exposure Accelerates Age-related Functional Decline in Caenorhabditis Elegans

ABSTRACT: Wildfire smoke (WFS) is an expanding source of fine particulate matter with well-documented cardiopulmonary risks. It has recently been linked to increases in human disease, yet its impact on organismal aging and functional declines remains incompletely understood. Here we generated RNA sequencing on young (day 5) and mid-life (day 10) C. elegans with or without a single 30 µg/mL WFS exposure to provide insight into biological processes potentially affected by WFS in the context of aging.

Wildfire smoke particulate matter induces ovarian hyperandrogenism via aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation IV

Project description:Wildfires have become more frequent and intense worldwide. Wildfire smoke particulate matter (WFPM) can be more toxic than urban background PM due to nanosized PM or WFPM0.1 and more polar organic compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). While WFPM has been linked to cardiopulmonary diseases, its impact on female reproduction remains elusive. Here, we used an in vivo mouse intratracheal exposure model and a 3D ovarian follicle culture system, together with molecular, transcriptomics, and computational analyses, to examine the effects of lab-synthesized (LS) and Canadian real-world WFPM0.1 (C- WFPM0.1) on ovarian functions. Intratracheal exposure to LS-WFPM0.1 disrupted estrous cycles and elevated serum estradiol and testosterone concentrations in young adult female mice. RT-qPCR and single-follicle RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis analysis revealed altered steroidogenic genes, transcriptomic changes, and activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in antral follicles of from LS-WFPM0.1-treated mice. In vitro exposure revealed thatto LS-WFPM0.1 increased testosterone secretion and induced genes related to androgen synthesis and AhR. Single-follicle and single-oocyte RNA-seq analysis identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to inflammation in somatic cells and mitochondria and cell cycle in oocytes. Both real-world C-WFPM0.1 from the 2023 Canadian wildfires and benzo[a]pyrene, a high molecule weight PAH, reproduced these ovarian defects caused by LS-WFPM0.1. Mechanistically, AhR inhibition reversed hyperandrogenism induced by WFPM0.1. Together, our findings demonstrate that PAH-containing WFPM0.1 perturbs ovarian steroidogenesis and induces hyperandrogenism through AhR activation. These results are crucial for developing strategies to protect women’s reproductive health and tailor guidelines for women seeking for infertility treatment during wildfire seasons.

Wildfire Smoke-Induced MicroRNA Changes in Mouse Plasma Extracellular Vesicles

Project description:These analyses set out to evaluate changes in microRNA signatures in the mouse plasma in response to simulated wildland fire exposure conditions. These exposure conditions were based on smoke condensate consisting of particulate matter and semivolative organic compounds resulting from the burning of two biomass fuels; namely , peat and red oak. These biomasses were evaluated under two burn conditions: flaming and smoldering. Saline exposures were also carried out as negative controls.
