The zebrafish embryo as an alternative model for the evaluation of liver toxicity using histopathology and expression profiling

ABSTRACT: The zebrafish is as a powerful vertebrate model system for modeling human disease including liver pathology. In ZFE, hepatic responses can be expected after exposure to hepatotoxicants, because hepatocytes are present from 36-hpf and at 72-hpf the liver is fully functioning. These characteristics make the whole ZFE an attractive alternative model for compound-induced hepatotoxicity screening. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to further strengthen the applicability of whole ZFE as an alternative model for hepatotoxicity testing, with a special focus on the ability to identify gene expression responses in whole ZFE that are suggestive of hepatotoxicity. Deep sequence technology is applied to assess whether hepatotoxicity-specific transcripts that are identified in livers of hepatotoxicant treated adult zebrafish can be detected in whole ZFE as well.

Deep sequence technology is applied to assess whether hepatotoxicity-specific transcripts that are identified in livers of hepatotoxicant treated adult zebrafish can be detected in whole ZFE as well. Whole zebrafish embryo and adult zebrafish are exposed for 48 hours to human hepatotoxicants. Afterwards, the adult liver is dissected and snap frozen untill processed for RNA isolation. The whole zebrafish embryos are pooled, one sample consists of 15 embryos, and are also snap frozen untill processed for RNA isolation. For every sample RNA is isolated according to the protocol of de Jong et al (2009). and then equal amounts of every sample is pooled. The two pools (one for the adult zebrafish liver, the other for the whole zebrafish embryo) are sequenced.

Toxicogenomic profiling in the whole zebrafish embryo after exposure to reference hepatotoxicants.

Toxicogenomic profiling in the whole zebrafish embryo after exposure to reference hepatotoxicants.

Project description:Zebrafish embryos have been proposed as an attractive alternative model system for hepatotoxicity testing. In this study we determined gene expression responses after exposure to reference hepatotoxicants and controls to identify biomarkers for hepatotoxicity. 188 samples; hepatotoxic compounds at 3 concentrations and with multiple replicates; negative controls at single concentration and with multiple replicates; water (DSW) and 0.2% DMSO vehicle control.

Microarray data from zebrafish embryos (ZFE) exposed (for 48-96 hr periods and assessed 8 days post-fertilization) to oil emulsions collected from GoM shoreline sites following the Deepwater Horizon blowout.

Project description:Zebrafish embryos/larvae are a choice model system for studying early stages of vertebrate development and how these stages can be perturbed by environmental stressors. Petrochemical combustion products elicit developmental toxicity that is associated with transcriptome changes in zebrafish embryos (ZFE). We used microarrays to characterize transcriptome changes in ZFE that had been exposed in the laboratory to oil emulsions collected from the GoM shoreline, ~9 weeks after the Deepwater Horizon blowout. ZFE were exposed to oil emulsions collected (July 1-4, 2010) at the GoM shoreline. ZFE were exposed to emulsions, consisting of varying amounts of alkanes, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), sand and seawater that had been M-bM-^@M-^\butteredM-bM-^@M-^] on the bottom of cups, in which ZFE were suspended in zebrafish medium. ZFE development was monitored by light microscopy. M-BM- Control ZFE were suspended in zebrafish medium without emulsions. Gross developmental abnormalities, including axial changes, altered swimming patterns and yolk sac and pericardial sac swelling were noted and photographed. M-BM- M-BM- ZFE/larvae were collected after exposures ended, and placed in clean medium until 192 hr post-fertilization, when larvae were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix zebrafish microarrays.

Gross developmental abnormalities, including axial changes, altered swimming patterns and yolk sac and pericardial sac swelling were noted and photographed. M-BM- M-BM- ZFE were collected at 48-hr intervals, after exposures had begun, and either placed in clean medium for up to 48 hours more, or, were collected immediately for RNA extraction. and hybridization on Affymetrix zebrafish microarrays, each containing 14,900 probe sets. We extracted RNA from all 30 ZFE in each cup for microarray analysis.

Discover preclinical biomarkers of hepatotoxicity: Acetaminophen and Carbon tetrachloride

Project description:Preclinical biomarkers useful for identification of idiosyncratic drugs have not been identified. It is hypothesized that patterns of transcript expression for the hepatotoxicants, including classical and idiosyncratic hepatotoxicants, are similar and the patterns differ from those of non-hepatotoxicants. This experiment is part of the biomarkers study, and focus on two clasical hepatotoxicants: Acetaminophen and Carbon tetrachloride. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify liver gene expression changes induced by hepatotoxicants. For the same animal, urinary microRNA profiling were analyzed. APAP and CCl4 both significantly increased the urinary levels of 44 and 28 miRNAs, respectively. In addition, 10 of the increased miRNAs were in common between APAP and CCl4. Computational analysis was used to predict target genes of the 10 shared hepatotoxicant-induced miRNAs. From the same animals, liver gene expression profiling was performed using whole genome microarrays. Eight putative target genes were found to be significantly altered in the liver of APAP and CCl4 treated animals. Acetaminophen induced liver gene expression changes in rats (Six to seven week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats, provided by the US Food and Drug Administration National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) breeding colonies, were used for the study.) were measured at 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days and 7 days after exposure to doses of 0, 100 and 1250 mg/kg. Carbon tetrachloride induced liver gene expression changes in rats were measured at 6 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after exposure to doses of 0, 50 and 2000 mg/kg. Each group has at least 4 animals, total of 96 samples.

Whole transcriptomic sequencing of zebrafish rx3 mutants during optic vesicle morphogenesis

Project description:To identify genes regulated by Rx3 during optic vesicle morphogenesis, adult zebrafish carriers of a null rx3 mutation were mated. Before 13 hours post fertilization (hpf), the earliest time point at which optic vesicle evagination phenotypes could be reliably detected, offspring were phenotypically separated into pools comprising of mutants with an absence of optic vesicles or siblings exhibiting a wild-type phenotype. Three replicates of pooled RNA samples from 13 hpf eyeless mutants (rx3-/-) or phenotypically wild-type siblings (rx3+/+ or rx3+/-), and one replicate of 13 hpf wild-type zebrafish larva were collected for whole transcriptome sequencing. Whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on zebrafish rx3-/- mutants, wild-type siblings and wild-type AB strains at 13 hpf
