Project description:We evaluated quantification using XLE by testing 68 different chemicals (PCB, PBDEs, chlorinated pesticides) in SRM-1958 using external calibration curves (0.05 to 2 ng/mL) and comparing measured values to the reference concentrations reported for SRM. We identified all 40 PCBs that are reported with a reference mass fraction (including certified values and non-certified estimates) in the range of 46.6 to 490 ng/kg in SRM-1958 certificate of analysis (issue date: 11 October 2018). Quantification without adjustment for recovery was reproducible with 29 PCB qualifications at >70% and 35 PCBs at >65% of the reference levels. Eleven out of 13 PBDE/PBBs and all 17 organochlorine pesticides were identifiable and reproducibly quantified in this experiment. Therefore, XLE provides sufficient recovery to support accurate absolute quantification of a broad range of environmental chemicals. Overall, XLE supported measurement of 68 out of the 70 chemicals that are in the ng/kg range in SRM-1958.

Project description:We analyzed 80 archival samples from individuals (57 females, 23 males; aged 41 to 68 y) without known disease or occupational or environmental exposures of concern as a pilot to test the utility of XLE in large-scale human biomonitoring studies. Using a requirement for at least 3 co-eluting accurate mass m/z features ( 5 ppm) within 30 s of database retention time, we identified 49 chemicals belonging to various environmental chemical classes. An unsupervised 2-way hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) of log transformed intensity showed clustering according to chemical class. In particular, persistent chemicals were highly correlated with each other (all raw P < 0.001), including p,p’-DDE, PCBs 153, 180, 138, 118 and 74, PBDE-47, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and trans-nonachlor. Results showed a general increase of chemical levels with increasing age quartiles (Q3 and Q4 : 53 to 68 versus Q1 and Q2: 41 to 52) using unsupervised clustering, a trend particularly evident for the cluster of p,p’-DDE, PCBs 153, 180, 138, 118 and 74, PBDE-47, HCB and trans-nonachlor. Examination of data according to body mass index (BMI) showed that individuals with BMI ≥ 40 had lower levels of environmental chemicals, which may be attributed to high lipophilicity and propensity to distribute in adipose tissue versus plasma. Quantification with reference standardization showed that use of two SRM samples with differing environmental chemical concentrations can overcome variable batch effects in quantification for large-scale studies. Examples of the most frequently detected chemicals shows that overall distributions were positively skewed by a small subset of individuals with high concentrations.

Project description:We tested XLE quantification of chemicals in a non-fortified reference material: SRM-1957. Results show that XLE detected 29 out of 32 chemicals with certified or estimated reference values in the ng/kg range in SRM-1957; 16 out of 29 chemicals were quantified at >65% of the reference levels.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of cord blood in Faroe Island cohort. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 485,000 CpGs in cord blood samples. Background: Faroe islanders consume marine foods contaminated with methylmercury (MeHg), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other toxicants associated with chronic disease risks. Differential DNA methylation at specific CpG sites in cord blood may serve as a surrogate biomarker of health impacts from chemical exposures. Objective: We aimed to identify key environmental chemicals in cord blood associated with DNA methylation changes in a population with elevated exposure to chemical mixtures. Method: We studied 72 participants of a Faroese birth cohort recruited between 1986 and 1987 and followed until adulthood. The cord blood DNA methylome was profiled using Infinium Methylation 450K BeadChips. We determined the associations of CpG site changes with concentrations of MeHg, major PCBs, other organochlorine compounds, (hexachlorobenzene [HCB], p,p’-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene [p,p’-DDE] and p,p’-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and perfluoroalkyl substances. Results: In a combined sex analysis, among the 16 chemicals studied, PCB congener 105 (CB-105) exposure was associated with the majority of differentially methylated CpG sites (214 out of a total of 250). In female-only-analysis, only 73 CB-105 associated CpG sites were detected, 44 of which were mapped to genes in the ELAV1-associated cancer network. In males-only, methylation changes were seen for perfluorooctane sulfonate, HCB, and p,p’-DDE in 10,598; 1,238; and 1,473 CpG sites, respectively, 15% of which were enriched in cytobands of the X chromosome associated with neurological disorders. Conclusion: In this multiple-pollutant and genome-wide study, we identified key epigenetic toxicants. The significant enrichment of specific X-chromosome sites in males implies potentially sex-specific epigenome responses to prenatal chemical exposures.

Project description:Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) (LMB) inhabiting Lake Apopka, Florida are exposed to high levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) that exert effects through multiple modes of action. The objectives of this study were to assess the impacts of two OCPs (p,p'-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene; p,pM-bM-^@M-^Y DDE and methoxychlor; MXC) on the reproductive axis of LMB. Female LMB were fed coated feed over 84 days of either 125 (p,pM-bM-^@M-^Y DDE), 10 (MXC), or 0 (control) ppm (mg/kg). In addition, due to the fact that p,pM-bM-^@M-^Y DDE and MXC are suspected anti-androgens, the potent anti-androgenic pharmaceutical flutamide (FLUT) was also fed to a separate group of LMB at 750 ppm. After 84 days, LMB significantly incorporated p,pM-bM-^@M-^Y DDE and MXC into muscle and ovary tissue. Gonadal histology and plasma sex steroids were not significantly different than controls after being fed contaminants. Microarray analysis revealed that p,pM-bM-^@M-^Y DDE and FLUT regulated more genes in common that either chemical compared to MXC, consistent with data suggesting that p,pM-bM-^@M-^Y DDE is a more potent anti-androgen than MXC. There was a significant positive correlation between 71 commonly regulated genes in all three treatments, suggesting that these transcripts may be responding to a common anti-androgenic mode of action. Cell processes affected by all three treatments included leukocyte cell adhesion, ossification, platelet function and inhibition, xenobiotic metabolism, fibrinolysis, and thermoregulation. Most striking was that all three chemicals depressed gene networks related to immune function and inflammation. This study adds to a growing number of fish transcriptomics studies investigating chemicals with an anti-androgenic MOA. 4 biological replicates per group; control, methoxychlor, p,p DDE, and flutamide

Project description:We tested the general utility of XLE in a variety of human biological samples by analyzing human lung and thyroid tissues and stool samples. We quantified 32 environmental chemicals in 11 human lungs, with HCB, PCB-28 and PCB-18 being most frequently detected (10 out of 11). The commonly detected chemicals in human plasma were detected less frequently in the lung. For the 11 lungs, p,p’-DDE was detected in eight, PCB-153 in five, PBDE-47 and PCB-138 in four and PCB-180 in three. Although the plasma samples were from non-diseased individuals and the lungs were both diseased and non-diseased individuals, HCA results suggest that environmental chemical profiles in human lung may be very different from plasma.

Project description:We demonstrate the feasibility of total RNA-SIP in experiments where microbes from a hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifer were studied in microcosms with 13C-labelled-toluene to understand their adaptation to the simultaneous availability of low levels of different electron acceptors. SIP successfully resolved the involvement of microaerobic vs. aerobic and anaerobic populations. Under microoxic, nitrate-amended conditions hydrocarbon degradation was actually stimulated, but transcripts of denitrification showed no signs of 13C-labelling. The expression of distinct oxygenase-based catabolic pathways for toluene degradation was clearly apparent in 13C-labelled mRNA. We discuss how these direct insights into the gene expression and adaptation mechanisms within complex degrader communities can guide more integrated approaches in monitoring and restoration of contaminated sites.
