Project description:Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) or a high-fat diet (HFD) can produce liver injury. However, the interactive molecular biological effects and mechanism of iAs and HFD are as of yet unclear. We used microarrays to detail the interactive effects of arsenic and a high-fat diet on hepatic gene expression. The C57BL/6 Mice fed low-fat diet (LFD) or HFD were exposed to 3 mg/L iAs or deionized water for 10 weeks. Then, hepatic RNA were extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Differentially expressed genes in LFD+As, HFD, and HFD+As groups compared to LFD group were identified, and interactive molecular biological effects and mechanism of iAs and HFD were discussed.

Project description:In this study, we examined the effect of inorganic arsenic (iAs) on the estrogen response (E2) in MCF-7 cells that are estrogen receptor positive/progesterone receptor positive (ER+/PR+). Understanding the changes in the transcriptomic response after iAs exposure and the retention of such responses during recovery from iAs exposure can identify driver mechanisms of breast cancer progression and improve therapies for patients with ER+ cancers exposed to iAs.

Project description:There is strong epidemiologic evidence supporting that exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) exposure is responsible for a myriad of adverse health effects, including carcinogenesis of the bladder. This research aimed to identify novel epigenetic biomarkers of iAs exposure in target cells within a human population. Here we assessed genome-wide, gene-specific promoter DNA methylation levels assessed in exfoliated human bladder uroepithelial cells (BECs) in relationship to BEC iAs, monomethylated As (MMAs), dimethylated As (DMAs), and total As (tAs) concentrations from 46 individuals with varying levels of As exposure in Chihuahua, Mexico. These analyses identified genes with increased methylation associated with BEC iAs(III+V), MMAs(III+V), and tAs(III+V). These genes were enriched for signaling related to metabolic disease and cancer.

Project description:The Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) pregnancy cohort in Gómez Palacio, Mexico was recently established to better understand the impacts of prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs). In this study, we examined a subset (n = 40) of newborn cord blood samples for microRNA (miRNA) expression changes associated with in utero arsenic exposure. Levels of iAs in maternal drinking water (DW-iAs) and maternal urine were assessed. Levels of DW-iAs ranged from below detectable values to 236 µg/L (mean = 51.7 µg/L). Total arsenic in maternal urine (U-tAs) was defined as the sum of iAs and its monomethylated and dimethylated metabolites (MMAs and DMAs, respectively) and ranged from 6.2 to 319.7 µg/L (mean = 64.5 µg/L). Genome-wide miRNA expression analysis of cord blood revealed 12 miRNAs with increasing expression associated with U-tAs. Transcriptional targets of the miRNAs were computationally predicted and subsequently assessed using transcriptional profiling. Pathway analysis demonstrated that the U-tAs-associated miRNAs are involved in signaling pathways related to known health outcomes of iAs exposure including cancer and diabetes mellitus. Immune response-related mRNAs were also identified with decreased expression levels associated with U-tAs, and predicted to be mediated in part by the arsenic-responsive miRNAs. Results of this study highlight miRNAs as novel responders to prenatal arsenic exposure that may contribute to associated immune response perturbations.

We assessed the impact of prenatal exposure to arsenic on genome-wide miRNA expression profiles and their potential influence on gene expression patterns in the Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) prospective pregnancy cohort. This cohort includes residents from Gómez Palacio, located in the state of Durango in the Lagunera region of Northern Mexico. A total of 200 pregnant women residing in Gómez Palacio, State of Durango, Mexico, were recruited at the General Hospital of Gómez Palacio to participate in the BEAR prospective pregnancy cohort. The present study focuses on miRNA expression profiles and utilizes 40 samples obtained from mother-newborn pairs selected from the larger cohort (n=200). The subcohort was selected to include subjects exposed to varying levels of arsenic as determined by both total arsenic in maternal urine (U-tAs) and inorganic arsenic in drinking water (DW-iAs). Cord blood samples were collected from the newborns immediately after infant delivery. Blood samples were collected using PreAnalytix PaxGene RNA tubes and extracted using the PAXgene RNA Kit, per standard protocol (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Isolated RNA used for microarray analysis were amplified and labeled using the NuGEN Ovation Pico WTA System V2 and Encore Biotin Module, respectively (NuGEN, San Carlos, CA). RNA isolated from 40 cord blood samples were labeled and hybridized to the Agilent Human miRNA Microarray, based off miRBase v16.0.

Project description:Adult male mice (F0) were exposed to 250 ppb inorganic arsenic (iAs) in drinking water before mating with unexposed female mice to generate male F1 offspring (iAsF1-M). Unexposed male mice were bred simultaneously to generate male controls (conF1-M). Both iAsF1-M and conF1-M mice drank normal water without iAs. Adult iAsF1-M and conF1-M mice were harvested to collect liver samples to do RNA-seq.

Project description:People with early life exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) have been associated with adverse health outcomes manifesting during both adolescence and adulthood, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. We found that acute oral iAs treatment to neonatal mice induces rapid accumulation of dietary fat in enterocytes, accelerating intestinal growth and enterocyte maturation. As gene regulation study underlines dysregulated lipid absorption pathways and apolipoprotein gene expressions, plasma lipoprotein abnormalities and atherogenic dyslipidemia were identified, highlighted by hypertriglyceridemia, and decreased HDL cholesterol. This pathological condition aggravates to early stages of NAFLD. In loss-of-function genetic models, these pathophysiological alterations induced by acute oral iAs exposure illustrates critical metabolic networks entailing LXR- and ATF4- regulatory schemes. Our findings demonstrate a cooperation between the intestinal tract and liver with the overproduction of serum and tissue TGs, early signs of metabolic syndrome. We anticipate an exacerbated condition if exposure is continued. This study provides a novel pathological reason for iAs exposure induced medical conditions related to metabolic syndromes.

Project description:Prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) is detrimental to the health of newborns and increases the risk of disease development later in life. Here we examined a subset of newborn cord blood leukocyte samples collected from mothers enrolled in the Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) pregnancy cohort in Gomez Palacio, Mexico who were exposed to a range of drinking water arsenic concentrations (0.456-236 µg/L). Changes in iAs-associated DNA 5-methyl cytosine methylation were assessed across 424,935 CpG sites representing 18,761 genes and were compared to corresponding expression levels and birth outcomes. In the context of arsenic exposure, a total of 2,705 genes were identified with iAs-associated differences in DNA methylation. Site-specific analyzes identified DNA methylation changes that were most predictive of gene expression levels. Specifically, CpG methylation within CpG islands positioned within the first exon and 200bp upstream of the transcription start site yielded the most significant association with gene expression levels. A set of 16 genes was identified with correlated iAs-associated changes in DNA methylation and mRNA expression and all were highly enriched for binding sites of the early growth response (EGR) and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) transcription factors. Furthermore, DNA methylation levels of seven of these genes were associated with differences in birth outcomes including gestational age, placental weight and head circumference. These data highlight the complex interplay between DNA methylation and functional changes in gene expression and health outcomes and underscore the need for functional analyzes coupled to epigenetic assessments. 48 DNA methylation profiles were obtained but only 38 samples corresponding to samples also analyzed for gene expression (see Rager 2014) were further normalized and used in the publication from the Biomarkers of Arsenic (BEAR) cohort were analyzed for DNA methylation profiles.
