TiO2 nanoparticles' library toxicity (UV and non-UV exposure) – High-throughput in vivo transcriptomics reveals mechanisms

ABSTRACT: Ecotoxicological studies with NPs are nearly all focused on testing one or few NPs. A more systematic approach to compare effects across many NMs with identified different but related characters/descriptors (e.g. different aspect-ratios or surface activities) are only sparsely reported especially in ecotoxicology. There is an urgent need to provide tools that allow us to fast develop an (eco)toxicological dataset containing comprehensive toxicity information relating to a diverse spectra of NPs characters, thus allowing the extrapolation of acquired information across NMs. NM libraries are an excellent tool for alternative testing and modeling. In the present study a custom-designed Fe doped TiO2 NM library was used covering of a wide spectrum of properties. Enchytraeus crypticus (Oligochateta) was used as test species since it is both environmentally relevant (as an important soil representative oligochaete and is also a standard species in soil ecotoxicology studies) and also a genomic model, with a high-throughput (HTP) genomic library. Effects were assessed at the organism (survival, reproduction) and gene level (differential gene expression, microarray).

Exposure to different nickel nanoparticles and nickel salt: gene expression profile in Enchytraeus crypticus

Project description:The effect of nanomaterials (NMs) is less understood in light of the implemented and existing methodologies for regular chemicals. To understand the mode of action of NMs is one of the alternatives to improve predictions and environmental risk assessment (ERA). In the present work the high-throughput gene expression tool (4x44K microarray for Enchytraeus crypticus) was used to investigate the mechanisms activated by Ni exposure. Ni nanoparticles (Ni-NPs) were investigated together with Ni-salt (NiNO3). Testing was done based on reproduction effect concentrations (EC20, EC50) using 3 and 7 days exposure periods.

Mechanisms of response to silver nanoparticles Enchytraeus albidus (Oligochaeta): survival, reproduction and gene expression profile

Project description:Due to its antimicrobial activity, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are among the most used NPs worldwide, yet little information is available regarding their effects, particularly in soil dwelling organisms. Enchytraeids (Oligochaeta) are important members of the soil fauna which actively contribute to the acceleration of organic matter decomposition and nutrient recycling processes. Hence, for hazard and risk assessment it is important to provide toxicity data for these organisms and to understand more in regard to the mode of action of Ag-NPs within organism. To study this we conducted toxicity experiments using the OECD standard guideline, testing Ag-NPs and AgNO3, having assessed survival, reproduction and differential gene expression. Population toxicity responses were assessed showing higher toxicity for the AgNO3. In an attempt to understand the mode of action we performed transcription profiling using the microarray. Gene expression profile of Enchytraeus albidus was analysed after 2 days of exposure to 100 and 200 mg/kg of two silver forms (nanoparticles and salt_silver nitrate) in OECD soil. Three biological replicates per test treatment and control (clean OECD soil) were used.

Copper oxide nanomaterial regulation and fate in Cucurbita pepo

Project description:Nanomaterials (NMs) are on the nanoscale level range ca. 1-100 nm and due to the peculiar physico-chemical properties are widely used in different areas. The present study aimed to characterize the responses of zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) treated with copper oxide (CuO) NPs from seed germination to the flowering stage. CuO NPs treatment did not negatively impact plant morphology and growth as well as the pollen formation and viability. Physiological analyses were followed by a complete RNAseq-based transcriptomic analysis in the different plant tissues. Mitochondrial and chloroplast functions emerged as a critical component in plant response. Evidence of CuO NPs internalization and biotransformation was a driving force to measure the impacts at both physiological and molecular levels.

Mechanisms of (photo)toxicity of TiO2 nanomaterials (NM103, NM104, NM105): using high-throughput gene expression in Enchytraeus crypticus

Project description:Titanium dioxide (TiO2) based nanomaterials (NMs) are among the most produced NMs worldwide. When irradiated with light, particularly UV, TiO2 is photoactive, a property that is explored for several purposes. There is an increasingly number of reports on the negative effects of photoactivated TiO2 to non-target organisms. We have here studied the effect of a suite of reference type TiO2 NMs i.e. NM103, NM104, NM105 and compared these to the Bulk) with and without UV radiation to the oligochaete Enchytraeus crypticus. High-throughput gene expression was used to assess the molecular mechanisms, while also anchoring it to known effects at organism level (i.e., reproduction). Results showed that the photoactivity of TiO2 (UV exposed) played a major role in enhancing TiO2 toxicity, activating transcription of oxidative stress, lysosome damage and apoptosis mechanisms. For non-UV activated TiO2, where toxicity at organism level (reproduction) was lower, results showed the potential for long-term effects (i.e., mutagenic and epigenetic). NM specific mechanisms were identified: NM103 affected transcription and translation, NM104_UV negatively affected reproductive system/organs; and NM105_UV activated superoxide anion response. Results provided mechanistic information for UV-related phototoxicity of TiO2 materials and evidences of the potential long-term effects.

In situ Analysis of Nanoparticle Soft Corona and Dynamic Evolution

Project description:How soft corona i.e., the protein corona’s outer layer contributes to “biological” identity of nanomaterials (NMs) is largely unknown due to a longstanding challenge in capturing protein composition of the soft corona in situ. We herein develop an in situ “Fishing” method that can monitor the dynamic formation of protein corona on ultra-small chiral Cu2S nanoparticles (NPs) allowing us to directly separate and identify their protein composition. This method can detect spatiotemporal processes in the evolution of hard and soft coronas on chiral NPs, revealing subtle differences in their composition even within several minutes. This study highlights the importance of in situ and dynamic analysis of soft/hard corona composition, provides detailed insights into the roles of protein corona composition in mediating the biological responses of NPs, and offers a universal strategy to characterize the soft corona that will serve as a powerful tool for rational design of biomedical NMs.

Exposure to different copper forms – nanoparticles, nanowires, salt and field aged: gene expression profiling in Enchytraeus crypticus

Project description:The testing of NMs under the currently available standard toxicity tests does not cover many of the NMs specificities. One of the current recommended approaches forward lays on understanding the mechanisms of action as these can help predicting long term effects and safe-by-design production. Copper nanomaterials (Cu-NMs) usage has been highly increasing with the concern in terms of exposure, effect and associated risks. In the present study we used the high-throughput gene expression tool developed for Enchytraeus crypticus (44Kx4 Agilent microarray) to study to the effect of exposure to several copper forms. The copper treatments include two NMs (spherical and wires) and two copper-salt treatments (CuNO3 spiked and Cu field historical contamination). Testing was done based on reproduction effect concentrations (EC20, EC50) using 3 and 7 days exposure periods.

Toxicogenomic responses of C. elegans to gold nanoparticles

Project description:We used Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) as a model for studying particle specific effects of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) by examining the toxicogenomic responses in a model soil organism, free living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Global genome expression for nematodes exposed to 4-nm citrate-coated Au-NPs at the LC10 (5.9 mg L-1) revealed significant differential expression of 797 genes. The levels of expression for five genes (apl-1, dyn-1, act-5, abu-11, and hsp-4) were confirmed independently with qRT-PCR. Seven common biological pathways associated with 38 of these genes were identified. Activation of 26 pqn/abu genes from noncanonical Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathway and up-regulation of molecular chaperones (hsp-16.1, hsp-70, hsp-3 and hsp-4) were observed and are likely indicative of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Inhibition of abu-11 with RNAi showed increase in mortality in Au-NP exposed nematodes suggesting possible involvement of abu-11 (a gene associated with specific to C. elegans UPR) in a protective mechanism against Au-NPs. Exposure to Au-NPs also caused activation of genes involved in apoptosis and necrosis and resulted ultimately in 10% mortality. These results demonstrate that Au-NPs are bioavailable and cause adverse effects to a model ecoreceptor which activate both general and specific biological pathways.
