MS Differentiating toxic and nontoxic congeneric harmful algae using the non-polar metabolome

ABSTRACT: Recognition and rejection of chemically defended prey is critical to maximizing fitness for predators. Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) which strongly inhibit voltage-gated sodium channels in diverse animal taxa are produced by several species of the bloom-forming algal genus Alexandrium where they appear to function as chemical defenses against grazing copepods. Despite PSTs being produced and localized within phytoplankton cells, some copepods distinguish toxic from non-toxic prey, selectively ingesting less toxic cells, in ways that suggest cell surface recognition perhaps associated with non-polar metabolites. In this study LC/MS and NMR-based metabolomics revealed that the non-polar metabolomes of two toxic species (Alexandrium catenella and Alexandrium pacificum) vary considerably from their non-toxic congener Alexandrium tamarense despite all three being very closely related. Toxic and non-toxic Alexandrium spp. were distinguished from each other by metabolites belonging to seven lipid classes. Of these, 17 specific metabolites were significantly more abundant in both toxic A. catenella and A. pacificum compared to non-toxic A. tamarense suggesting that just a small portion of the observed metabolic variability is associated with toxicity. Future experiments aimed at deciphering chemoreception mechanisms of copepod perception of Alexandrium toxicity should consider these metabolites, and the broader lipid classes phosphatidylcholines and sterols, as potential candidate cues.

Effects of Disperse Yellow 7 in Silurana tropicalis Gene Network Analysis

Project description:Dyes used in fabric and leather industry are being released and accumulated into Canadian ecosystems. Recent studies have demonstrated that dyes made of azo compounds significantly increase toxicity in biota, which is explained by their toxic metabolites (e.g., aromatic amines). The metabolites of azo compounds interact with hydrophobic surfaces of cell membranes causing expansion of the membrane which impede normal cellular functions. It has been suggested that this process leads to cell death due to improper ion balance. Currently, it is estimated that between 10 and 15% of azo dyes are released in the environment as effluent. The aim of this study was to evaluate toxicity and gene networks altered by azo compounds in amphibians using ecotoxicogenomic approaches. Larvae of the frog Silurana tropicalis (Western clawed frog) were exposed to sediment contaminated to 887 ppm Disperse Yellow 7 (DY7). Larvae were exposed from Nieuwkoop-Faber developmental stage 12 to 46. Data suggest that the azo dye DY7 induced cellular stress and interfered with androgen biosynthesis in early tadpole development. At exposure completion, RNA was isolated from whole larvae and quality was ascertained using bioanalyzer analysis. A custom Agilent 4 X 44 K microarray for S. tropicalis was used to characterize gene regulatory networks underlying toxicity. This study presents the transcriptional regulatory pathways affected by DY7 in S. tropicalis early development. Embryos were exposed to the DY7 dye during development. There were 4 control groups exposed and 4 treatment groups exposed.

Transcriptional responses of Folsomia candida exposed to polar and apolar narcotizing compounds.

Project description:Narcosis or baseline toxicity is the inert toxicity of hydrophobic compounds, supposed to take place at the level of the cellular membranes. Based on the linear relationship between the toxicity (logEC50) and the hydrophobicity (logKow), class I and II narcotizing compounds are recognized, in which the latter group is assumed to exert additional toxic mechanisms by hydrogen bond donor acidity by their polar groups. Chlorinated anilines, which occur often in the environment as degradation products of certain pesticides , are considered to be narcotizing compounds. In this study the transcriptional responses of the soil arthropod Folsomia candida are investigated upon exposure to a series of anilines with increasing chlorination. A discrimination between class1 and class2 narcotizing compound is being made. Twenty-three day old Folsomia candida were exposed in LUFA 2.2 standard soil for two days to the EC50 concentrations of the following compounds: aniline, 4-chloroaniline, 3.5-dichloroaniline, 2,3,4-trichloroaniline, 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroaniline, pentachloroaniline and 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene.1,2,3,4-tetrachlrobenzene was included in the experimental design as a posiitive control of a narcotic class 1 compound. Four biological replicates were used for every treatment and a dye swap was used with the Cy3/Cy5 labels. This resulted in 32 samples which were analysed in 16 hybridisations executed in an interwoven loop design. The solvent (for spiking the soil) control was used as the reference treatment in the data analysis.

Serial-Omics of Equine Urine - Serial-omics characterization of equine urine

Project description:Horse urine is easily collected and contains molecules readily measurable using mass spectrometry that can be used as biomarkers representative of health, disease or drug tampering. This study aimed at analyzing microliter levels of horse urine to purify, identify and quantify proteins, polar metabolites and non-polar lipids. Urine from a healthy 12 year old quarter horse mare on a diet of grass hay and vitamin/mineral supplements with limited pasture access was collected for serial-omics characterization. The urine was treated with methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and methanol to partition into three distinct layers for protein, non-polar lipid and polar metabolite content from a single liquid-liquid extraction and was repeated two times. Each layer was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography – high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to obtain protein sequence and relative protein levels as well as identify and quantify small polar metabolites and lipids. The results show 46 urine proteins, many related to normal kidney function, structural and circulatory proteins as well as 474 small polar metabolites but only 10 lipid molecules. Metabolites were mostly related to urea cycle and ammonia recycling as well as amino acid related pathways, plant diet specific molecules, etc. The few lipids represented triglycerides and phospholipids. These data show a complete mass spectrometry based –omics characterization of equine urine from a single 333 uL mid-stream urine aliquot. The data can be used as a baseline for healthy urine composition and analyses can be used to monitor disease progression, health status, monitor drug use, etc.

Integrative multi-omics reveals analogous developmental neurotoxicity mechanisms between perfluorobutanesulfonic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid in zebrafish

Project description:The molecular mechanism of perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS), an alternative to legacy perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), remains to be understood. Therefore, we conducted a developmental toxicity evaluation on zebrafish embryos exposed to PFBS and PFOS and assessed neurobehavioral changes at concentrations below each point of departure (POD) determined by embryonic mortality. Using transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, biomolecular perturbations in response to PFBS were profiled and then integrated for comparison with those for PFOS. Although PFBS (7525.47 M POD) was approximately 700 times less toxic than PFOS (11.42 M POD), similar alteration in behavioral assessment and neurochemical analysis was observed at the corresponding ratios of low and high concentrations. Multi-omics analysis revealed that the PFBS neurotoxicity mechanism was associated with oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, and glycolysis/glucogenesis. The commonalities in developmental neurotoxicity-related mechanisms between PFBS and PFOS interconnected by knowledge-based integration of multi-omics included the calcium signaling pathway, lipid homeostasis, and primary bile acid biosynthesis. Despite being less toxic than PFOS, PFBS exhibited similar dysregulated molecular mechanisms, suggesting that chain length differences do not affect the intrinsic toxicity mechanism. Overall, carefully managing potential toxicity of PFBS can secure its status as an alternative to PFOS.

OH-PBDE-induced gene expression profiling in H295R adrenocortical carcinoma cells

Project description:Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are commonly used as flame retardants in a variety of commercial and household products. They have been detected in the environment and accumulate in mammalian tissues and fluids. PBDE toxicity is thought to be associated with endocrine disruption, developmental neurotoxicity and changes in fetal development. Although humans are exposed to PBDEs, our knowledge of the effects of PBDE metabolites on human cells with respect to health risk is insufficient. Two hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs), 2-OH-BDE47 and 2-OH-BDE85, were investigated for their effects on cell viability/proliferation, DNA damage, cell cycle distribution and gene expression profiling in H295R adrenocortical carcinoma cells. We show that the two agents are cytotoxic in a dose-dependent manner only at micromolar concentrations, with 2-OH-BDE85 being more toxic than 2-OH-BDE47. However, no DNA damage was observed for either chemical, suggesting that the biological effects of OH-PBDEs occur primarily via non-genotoxic routes. Furthermore, no evidence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)-mediated, dioxin-like toxicity was observed. Instead, we report that a micromolar concentration of OH-PBDEs induces transcriptional changes associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response. We discuss whether OH-PBDE bioaccumulation could result in impairment of the adrenocortical secretory function.

Chloroacetaldehyde treatment with 25 ppm for 2 h

Project description:The number and type of synthetic chemicals that are being produced worldwide continues to increase significantly. While these industrial chemicals provide numerous benefits, there is no doubt that some have potential to damage the environment and health. Toxicity must be evaluated and use must be carefully controlled and monitored in order to minimize potential damage. DNA microarray technology has become an important new technique in toxicology. We are using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism for toxicological study because it is a simple, fast-growing eukaryote that has been thoroughly characterized. In order to evaluate toxicity by newly synthesized or mixture chemicals, toxicity-induced gene expression alteration profiles by known chemicals should be collected. In our study, cells need to be exposed with same experimental cellular condition, semi lethal (IC50), respectively. In the case of chloroacetaldehyde (CAS; 107-20-0), the exposure dose was decided as 25 ppm by growth curve with continuously diluted exposure. Chloroacetaldehyde is one of the toxic gases and vapors. This substrate is suspected to be respiratory toxicant and skin or sense organ toxicant. Keywords: stress response
