Project description:Acrylamide is a reproductive toxicant that has been detected in foods such as potato chips and breads. The consequences of chronic exposure to acrylamide in the human diet are unknown; however we previously reported that exposure to acrylamide at levels equivalent to human exposure produced high levels of genetic damage in early male germ cells of mice [Nixon et al. ToxSci 129(1), 135–145 (2012)]. In the present study, we examined changes in testicular gene expression in these mice to examine the potential mechanisms involved in acrylamide induced DNA damage in male germ cells and to provide a better understanding of the reproductive toxic effects of acrylamide in the male. Adult male mice were subjected to chronic acrylamide exposure via the drinking water at concentrations of 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 µg/ml for 1, 6 and 12 months. The testes were collected at each time point for RNA extraction and hybridization on an Illumina Sentrix Mouse ref-8 v2 Beadchip.

Project description:The seminal vesicles synthesise bioactive factors that support gamete function, modulate the female reproductive tract to promote implantation, and influence developmental programming of offspring phenotype. Despite the significance of the seminal vesicles in reproduction, their biology remains poorly defined. Here, to advance understanding of seminal vesicle biology, we analyse the mouse seminal vesicle transcriptome under normal physiological conditions and in response to acute exposure to the reproductive toxicant acrylamide. Mice were administered acrylamide (25 mg/kg bw/day) or vehicle control daily for five consecutive days prior to collecting seminal vesicle tissue 72 h following the final injection.

Project description:Paternal exposure to environmental stressors elicits distinct changes to the sperm sncRNA profile; modifications that have significant post-fertilization consequences. Despite this knowledge, there remains limited mechanistic understanding of how paternal exposures modify the sperm sncRNA landscape. Here, we report the acute sensitivity of the sperm sncRNA profile to the reproductive toxicant, acrylamide. Further, we traced the differential accumulation of acrylamide-responsive sncRNAs to coincide with sperm transit of the proximal (caput) segment of the epididymis, wherein acrylamide exposure altered the abundance of several transcription factors implicated in the expression of acrylamide-sensitive sncRNAs. We also identified extracellular vesicles secreted from the caput epithelium in relaying altered sncRNA profiles to maturing spermatozoa, and dysregulated gene expression during early embryonic development following fertilisation by acrylamide-exposed spermatozoa. These data provide mechanistic links to account for how environmental insults can alter the sperm epigenome and compromise the transcriptomic profile of early embryos.

Project description:Acrylamide, a high-production-volume chemical and food contaminant in baked and fried carbohydrate-rich foods has been classified as a “Group 2A carcinogen” (probable human carcinogen) by the IARC. The carcinogenicity of acrylamide is attributed to its well-recognized genotoxicity; however, evidence suggests that acrylamide may also induce non-genotoxic alterations. In the present study female B6C3F1 mice were exposed to 0.70mM acrylamide in drinking water for 28 days and genotoxic and transcriptomic effects were investigated in the lung, a target organ for acrylamide carcinogenicity in mice, and the liver, a non-target organ. Acrylamide exposure resulted in a dose-dependent formation of N7-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)guanine and N3-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)adenine in lung and liver DNA at the similar levels. In contrast, whole genome gene expression profiles in the lungs and livers revealed the tissue-specific gene expression alterations. By using a SurePrint G3 Mouse Gene Expression v2 8x60K Microarray Kit (Agilent Technologies), we identified 123 and 363 genes that were found to be differentially expressed in the lungs and livers of acrylamide-treated mice; however, only 5 genes were in common between the organs. A detailed analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that the major difference in the effect of acrylamide on the transcriptome in the lungs and livers was related to a different trend of gene expression changes. In the lungs, acrylamide exposure caused an inhibition of gene expression (54 up-regulated and 69 down-regulated genes), whereas the opposite effect, characterized by twice the number of up-regulated as compare to down-regulated genes (245 up-regulated and 118 down-regulated), was found in the livers of exposed mice.

Project description:Acrylamide is a type-2 alkene monomer with established human neurotoxic effects. While the primary source of human exposure to acrylamide is occupational, other exposure sources include food, drinking water, and smoking. In this study, neurobehavioral assays coupled with transcriptional profiling analysis were conducted to assess both behavioral and gene expression effects induced by acrylamide neurotoxicity in rats when administered during early postnatal life. Acrylamide administration in rat pups induced significant characteristic neurotoxic symptoms including increased heel splay, decrease in grip strength, and decrease in locomotor activity. Transcriptome analysis with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 array indicated that acrylamide treatment caused a significant alteration in the expression of genes involved in muscle contraction, pain regulation, and dopaminergic neuronal pathways. First, in agreement with the observed behavioral effects, expression of the Mylpf gene involved in muscle contraction was downregulated in the spinal cord in response to acrylamide. Second, in sciatic nerves, acrylamide repressed the expression of the opioid receptor gene Oprk1 that is known to play a role in neuropathic pain regulation. Finally, in the cerebellum, acrylamide treatment caused a decrease in the expression of the nuclear receptor gene Nr4a2 that is required for development of dopaminergic neurons. Thus, our work examining the effect of acrylamide at the whole-genome level on a developmental mammalian model has identified novel genes previously not implicated in acrylamide neurotoxicity that can be further developed into biomarkers for assessing the risk of acrylamide exposure. Three-week-old male Wistar rat pups were treated with either acrylamide or saline daily (30 mg/kg) for 21 days, then tissues (cerebellum, spinal cord, and sciatic nerve) were harvested and frozen. Two biological replicate samples, each sample consisting of pooled tissue from 2 rats, were analyzed for each treatment.

Project description:Acrylamide is known to produce follicular cell tumors of the thyroid in rats. RccHan Wistar rats were exposed in utero to a carcinogenic dose of acrylamide (3 mg/Kg bw/day) from gestation day 6 to delivery and then through their drinking water to postnatal day 35. In order to identify potential mechanisms of carcinogenesis in the thyroid glands, we used a transcriptomics approach. Thyroid glands were collected from male pups at 10 PM and female pups at 10 AM or 10 PM in order to establish whether active exposure to acrylamide influenced gene expression patterns or pathways that could be related to carcinogenesis. While all animals exposed to acrylamide showed changes in expected target pathways related to carcinogenesis, such as DNA repair, DNA replication, chromosome segregation, among others, animals that were sacrificed while actively drinking acrylamide-laced water during their active period at night showed increased changes in pathways related to oxidative stress, detoxification pathways, metabolism, and activation of checkpoint pathways, among others. In addition, thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, were increased in acrylamide-treated rats sampled at night, but not in quiescent animals, compared to controls. The data clearly indicate that time of day for sample collection is critical to identifying molecular pathways that are altered by the exposures. These results suggest that carcinogenesis in the thyroids of acrylamide treated rats may ensue from several different mechanisms such as hormonal changes and oxidative stress and not only from direct genotoxicity, as has been assumed to date.
