Transcriptomic fingerprints of C. elegans exposed to citrate coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (C-SPIONs)

ABSTRACT: Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are currently being investigated for a range of biomedical applications. Their use have been related with different cytotoxic mechanisms including the generation of oxidative stress and the induction of metal detoxification pathways, among others. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms responsive to in-house fabricated citrate coated SPIONs (C-SPIONs) in the nematode C. elegans to compare in vivo findings with previous in vitro studies. C-SPIONs (500 µg/ml) affected the transcriptional response of signal transduction cascades (i.e. TFG-beta), protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, and RNA transport, among other biological processes. They also triggered a lysosomal response, indicating a relevant biological role of this cellular compartment in the response to this nanoparticle treatment in C. elegans. Interestingly, other pathways frequently linked to nanotoxicity like oxidative stress or apoptosis were not identified as significantly affected in this genome-wide in vivo study despite the high dose of exposure.

Transcriptomic fingerprints of C. elegans exposed to superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles coated with a monolayer of bovine serum albumin (BSA-SPIONs)

Project description:Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are currently being investigated for a range of biomedical applications. Their use have been related with different cytotoxic mechanisms including the generation of oxidative stress and the induction of metal detoxification pathways, among others. Different NP coatings are being explored, among them albumin which has been applied in some drugs delivery systems. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms responsive to in-house fabricated SPIONs coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA-SPIONs) in the nematode C. elegans to compare in vivo findings with previous in vitro studies. BSA-SPIONs (500 µg/ml) affected the transcriptional response of glycan metabolic pathways related to innate immune response, xenobiotics degradation, and triggered a lysosomal response, indicating a relevant biological role of this cellular compartment in the response to this nanoparticle treatment in C. elegans. Remarkably, key biological functions such as apoptosis or protein processing were not affected with significance despite the high dose of exposure.

Transcriptomic fingerprints of C. elegans exposed to sodium perchlorate.

Project description:The excessive perchlorate utilization as an oxidizer in rocket propellants and blasting agents had led to the contamination of surface and ground waters. This chemical is known to compete with iodine for binding to the thyroid membrane receptors potentially causing hypothyroidism and fetal retardation in pregnant women. Nevertheless, to date, its biological effects are not completely understood. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms responsive to perchlorate in the nematode C. elegans to nominate a candidate gene for further peruse in the development of a C.elegans perchlorate biosensor. Perchlorate (1 mg/mL) affected the transcriptional response of Regulation of developmental process, growth, defense mechanisms and stress response, among other biological processes.

Expression data from primary human hepatic stellate cells treated with coated and uncoated ZnO nanoparticles, or ZnSO4

Project description:ZnO nanoparticles can elicit a range of perturbed cell responses in vitro. The liver is a target for ZnO nanoparticle-, or Zn2+ released from ZnO nanoparticles-induced accumulation and/or impact in vitro and in vivo. The response of human hepatic stellate cells to ZnO nanoparticles has not yet been assessed. We aimed to determine whether the presence of surface coatings could protect human hepatic stellate cells from ZnO nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity. Primary human hepatic stellate cells were treated with one of two types of uncoated ZnO nanoparticles (Z-COTE or Nanosun), two types of coated ZnO nanoparticles (HP1, MAX), a mass equivalent of ZnSO4, or were left untreated. After 24 h, RNA was isolated and processed for whole genome transcriptional profiling, comparing the expresson profiles of treated cells to the untreated controls. Each treatment was prepared in duplicate.

SKN-1-dependent oxidative stress response in C. elegans

Project description:Oxidative stress may play a role in normal aging. SKN-1 is a transcription factor necessary for intestine development in Caenorhabditis elegans, which also regulates the response to oxidative stress post-embryonically. Using DNA microarrays, we found that oxidative stress induces the antioxidant response, the heat shock response, and detoxification genes, while the expression of genes involved in homeostasis, development, and reproduction were decreased. Both up-regulated and down-regulated genes can be wholly, partially, or not at all dependent on SKN-1 action. However, induction of the heat shock response by oxidative stress was not affected by SKN-1 removal. Keywords: stress response

Senescence-specific gene expression fingerprints

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE3730: Replicative senescence in human fibroblasts GSE3731: Replicative senescence in post-selection HMECs Abstract: Replicative senescence is the state of irreversible proliferative arrest that occurs as a concomitant of progressive telomere shortening. By using cDNA microarrays and the gabriel system of computer programs to apply domain-specific and procedural knowledge for data analysis, we investigated global changes in gene transcription occurring during replicative senescence in human fibroblasts and mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). Here we report the identification of transcriptional "fingerprints" unique to senescence, the finding that gene expression perturbations during senescence differ greatly in fibroblasts and HMECs, and the discovery that despite the disparate nature of the chromosomal loci affected by senescence in fibroblasts and HMECs, the up-regulated loci in both types of cells show physical clustering. This clustering, which contrasts with the random distribution of genes down-regulated during senescence or up-regulated during reversible proliferative arrest (i.e., quiescence), supports the view that replicative senescence is associated with alteration of chromatin structure.

Defining the transcriptomic fingerprints of benzo[a]pyrene exposure in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are abundant organic compounds and are anthropogenically produced by the incomplete combustion of organic matter (e.g. fossil fuels and tobacco smoke). One notable model PAH is benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), which is listed as a Group 1 human carcinogen by the International Agency of Research on Cancer (IARC). Although the mode of action for BaP is well known in higher organisms, limited knowledge is available regarding the consequence of BaP exposure in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The objective of this study was to define the the global transcriptome of wild-type C. elegans exposed to BaP (0, 5 and 20 μM). The most responsive transcripts were linked to redox processes and xenobiotic responses, including P450 enzymes (CYPs) (mainly members of the CYP35 family), epoxide hydrolases (EHs), glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), all of which are linked to the metabolism (phase I & II) of xenobiotic substances. In summary, although the dominant CYP1A1/2 & CYP1B1 metabolic pathway is absent in C. elegans, BaP still induced a strong transcriptomic response. This provides strong evidence that parallel pathway(s) are implicated in BaP metabolism, and possibly, in its detoxification.

Controlled Nutrient Delivery to Pancreatic Islets Using Polydopamine-Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Project description:In the present study, we designed a nanoscale platform for the sustained and controlled delivery of nutrients to pancreatic islets-upon transplantation. Our platform consists of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP), loaded with glutamine (G), an essential amino acid required for islet survival and function, and capped with polydopamine (PD). To control the release of glutamine, various concentrations (0.5 - 2 mg/mL) of PD and incubation times (0.5 – 2 h) with MSNPs were investigated in terms of pharmacological properties and biological functions. After extensive testing, PD-G-MSNPs made using PD coating of 0.5 mg/mL incubated for 0.5 h resulted in the optimal platform to maintain the islet viability and functionality in vitro. Following syngeneic renal sub-capsule islet transplantation in STZ-diabetic mice, PD-G-MSNPs improved the engraftment of pancreatic islets as well as their function, resulting in re-establishment of glycemic control. Collectively, our data shows that PD-G-MSNPs can support transplanted islets by providing them with a controlled and sustained supply of nutrients.
