Project description:Adverse lung effects in rodents following pulmonary exposure to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are well documented. However, systemic effects are less understood. Prospective epidemiological studies have shown increased cardiovascular disease risk after pulmonary exposure to airborne particles, which has led to concerns that inhalation exposure to MWCNT might pose similar risks. We used high-content genomics tools to compare hepatic responses after exposure to a short, entangled MWCNT to the hepatic responses after exposure to a long, stiffer MWCNT at the global transcriptomic level. Female C57BL/6 mice were exposed by single intratracheal instillation to 162 M-BM-5g/mouse of a short MWCNT (NRCWE-26 (NC-7000), 847M-BM-1102 nm in length) or long MWCNT (NM-401 (CP-0006-SG), 4048M-BM-1366 nm in length). Liver tissues were harvested 24 h, 3 d and 28 d after exposure. This experiment examined the pulmonary transcriptional response of female C57BL/6 mice exposed to NRCWE-26, a short multi-walled carbon nanotube, and NM-401, a long multi-walled carbon nanotube, at three doses: D1 (18 M-NM-<g), D2 (54 M-NM-<g), D3 (162 M-NM-<g), and vehicle control. Each dose group was examined 1, 3 or 28 days post-exposure. Each dose group had 6 biological replicates. There were a total of 72 samples included in the final analysis using a two-color reference design.

Project description:Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are extensively produced and used in composite materials and electronic applications, thus increasing risk of worker and consumer exposure. MWCNTs are an inhomogeneous group of nanomaterials that exist in various lengths, shapes and with different metal compositions, which makes hazard evaluation difficult. However, several studies suggest that length plays an important role in the toxicity induced by MWCNTs. How the length influences toxicity at the molecular level is yet to be characterized. We used high-content genomics tools to compare pulmonary responses after exposure to a short, entangled MWCNT to the pulmonary responses after exposure to a long, stiffer MWCNT at the global transcriptomic level. Female C57BL/6 mice were exposed by single intratracheal instillation to 18, 54 or 162 µg/mouse of a short MWCNT (NRCWE-26 (NC-7000), 847±102 nm in length) or long MWCNT (NM-401 (CP-0006-SG), 4048±366 nm in length). Lung tissues were harvested 24 h, 3 d and 28 d after exposure.

Project description:Pulmonary exposure to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) induces an inflammatory and rapid fibrotic response, although the long-term signaling mechanisms are unknown. The aim of this study was to perform genome-wide mRNA profiling in mice blood to identify non-invasive blood based biomarkers for medical and occupational surveillance. The pathological results in this 1-year MWCNT post-exposure study was previously published in Snyder-Talkington et al. J Toxicol Environ Health A. 2016;79(8):352-66. doi: 10.1080/15287394.2016.1159635. Epub 2016 Apr 19. PMID: 27092743

Project description:Pulmonary exposure to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) induces an inflammatory and rapid fibrotic response, although the long-term signaling mechanisms are unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 1, 10, 40, or 80 µg MWCNT administered by pharyngeal aspiration on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid for polymorphonuclear cell (PMN) infiltration, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and lung histopathology for inflammatory and fibrotic responses in mouse lungs 1 mo, 6 mo, and 1 yr postexposure. Further, a 120-µg crocidolite asbestos group was incorporated as a positive control for comparative purposes. Results showed that MWCNT increased BAL fluid LDH activity and PMN infiltration in a dose-dependent manner at all three postexposure times. Asbestos exposure elevated LDH activity at all 3 postexposure times and PMN infiltration at 1 mo and 6 mo postexposure. Pathological changes in the lung, the presence of MWCNT or asbestos, and fibrosis were noted at 40 and 80 µg MWCNT and in asbestos-exposed mice at 1 yr postexposure. To determine potential signaling pathways involved with MWCNT-associated pathological changes in comparison to asbestos, up- and down-regulated gene expression was determined in lung tissue at 1 yr postexposure. Exposure to MWCNT tended to favor those pathways involved in immune responses, specifically T-cell responses, whereas exposure to asbestos tended to favor pathways involved in oxygen species production, electron transport, and cancer. Data indicate that MWCNT are biopersistent in the lung and induce inflammatory and fibrotic pathological alterations similar to those of crocidolite asbestos, but may reach these endpoints by different mechanisms.

Project description:We examined the use of toxicogenomics data to 1) elucidate the underlying mechanisms of pulmonary responses following exposures to titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) of different size and surface charge, and 2) determine if such responses are influenced by embedding particles in complex paint matrix. Adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed via single intratracheal instillation to three doses of free forms of NRCWE-030 (10.5 nm), NRCWE-025 (38 nm), NRCWE-001 (10 nm, neutral charge) NRCWE-002 (10 nm, positive charge) or to sanding dusts of paint consisting of NRCWE-030+NRCWE-025 or NRCWE-025 alone. Controls were exposed to dispersion medium without NPs. TiO2NPs were characterized for size, surface area, and agglomeration status in the exposure medium. Hyperspectral microscopy was performed to detect TiO2NPs in lungs and to determine the in vivo status of matrix-embedded TiO2NPs. Pulmonary gene expression profiles were generated using DNA microarrays on lung tissues collected at 24 h and 28 d post exposure time points. Bioinformatics tools were used to characterize size and surface property-pertinent effects. The data from 360 individual arrays were collapsed into 567 differentially expressed genes (False discovery rate adjusted P ≤ 0.05 and fold change ≥ 1.5 in any one condition). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the 567 genes revealed that TiO2NPs clustered mainly based on the post-exposure time points and then by the particle types. A meta analysis using pathway tools showed that the combination of smaller size and positive surface charge contributes to the potency of TiO2NPs. Although embedding in matrix dampens the overall toxicity of TiO2NPs, the smaller size positively influences the toxicity. Paint matrix itself did not induce any response. Finally, the observed differences in response reflected the differences in severity of the response and not the underlying mechanisms. Thus, transcriptional profiling is an effective tool to determine the important properties responsible for eliciting a response.

Project description:Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are newly developed nanomaterials with unique chemical and physical properties. Exposure to airborne CNTs in occupational settings or via consumer products is expected to increase significantly within the next decade due to the vigorous synthesis and applications of these materials in numerous consumer and industrial activities. Previous studies have shown that multiwalled CNT (MWCNT) induce pulmonary inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. In the present study, we investigated genotoxic potential of MWCNTs. Female MutaMouse were exposed to 42.7 ug/mouse or 128 ug/mouse doses of MWCNTs Mitsui XNRi-7 or NM 401 once a week for four consecutive weeks. Doses were administered via intratracheal instillation. Lung tissues were collected 56 days post-exposure. Bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL) fluid cellularity, BAL and lung tissue DNA damage (COMET assay), lacz mutation frequency and global gene expression changes in lung tissue were determined.
