Project description:The study seeks to identify the epigenetic changes caused by exposure of to cigarette smoke condensate. To this goal human bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B, were treated with 5-aza-2’deoxycitidine and trychostatin A (5AzaC/TSA) subsequent to a chronic exposure (1 month) to cigarette smoke condensate (CSC). As negative control served BEAS-2B cells that were untreated or treated with CSC/DMSO for one month without the subsequent application of 5Aza/TSA. Keywords: stress response

As negative control served BEAS-2B cells that were untreated or treated with CSC/DMSO for one month without the subsequent application of 5Aza/TSA. Experiment Overall Design: BEAS-2B Cells were treated for one month with CSC, DMSO, and left untreated. Subsequently half of the samples were treated with the demethylation agent. So that there were six different conditions with three biological replicates each. One sample had to be excluded because of low quality.
Project description:Novel tobacco vapor product, generating vapor without combusting tobacco leaves, has been developed expecting the number and quantity of chemicals in the vapor of these products to be reduced compared to conventional combustible cigarettes. However, if the lower chemical levels correlate with lower toxicity remained to be clarified. Here we examined the difference of conventional cigarette smoke (CS) and novel tobacco vapor product (NTV) using cultured cancer cell line A549 and normal bronchial epithelium cell line BEAS-2B. 0.5% of 3R4F which is conventional CS markedly decreased cell proliferation of both A549 and BEAS-2B, however Ploom TECH or Ploom TECH+ which are commercially available NTV did not affect cell growth. To clarify the cause of decreased cell proliferation, Tunnel assay was performed and clarified that apoptosis was observed in both A549 and BEAS-2B after 24hours after exposure to 3R4F. To further explore the effect of CS to epigenetics, we performed western blotting Histone H2A phosphorylation which is known to correlate transcriptional regulation. Only 3R4F decreased histone H2A phosphorylation of both A549 and BEAS-2B. Then we examined alterations of gene expression after 3R4F treatment of A549 cell. 339, 107, 103 genes which were upregulated more than 2fold were observed in 3R4F, Ploom TECH or Ploom TECH+ treated A549 cell, respectively. Among 339 genes which was upregulated 3R4F, we focused EGR1, FOS, and FOSB gene since they were upregulated more than100 fold. We confirmed this upregulation using RTqPCR. These data suggest that Cigarette smoke but not novel tobacco vapor product cause epigenetic disruption and cell apoptosis possibly by elevating genes such as EGR1.
Project description:We established chromate transformed cell lines by chronic exposure of normal human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells to low doses of hexavalent chromium followed by anchorage-independent growth. The gene expression profiles were analyzed in the established cell lines. The gene expression profiles from six chromate transformed cell lines were remarkably similar to each other yet differed significantly from that of either control cell line or normal Beas-2B cells. A total of 409 differentially expressed genes were identified in chromate transformed cells compared to control cells.
Project description:MicroRNA levels in non-transformed BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells, two lines of mycoplasma transformed BEAS-2B cells, and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells were measured. Microarray analyses of 1145 microRNAs in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells and two other transformed lung cell types relative to BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells were performed. 106 miRNAs were down-regulated and 69 miRNAs were up-regulated in all three transformed lines

A total of 409 differentially expressed genes were identified in chromate transformed cells compared to control cells. We analyzed gene expression profiles from 10 cell lines ( six chromated transformed cells lines, three control cell lines, and parental BEAS-2B cells) using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST array. No techinical replicates were performed.

A serum-free method for culturing normal human bronchial epithelial cells at clonal density. J. Tissue Culture Methods 9: 43-48, 1985). The BEAStra1 and BEAStra2 cells were replicate populations of BEAS-2B cells that were transformed following infection with mycoplasma (Jiang, S., Zhang, S., Langenfeld, J., Lo, S.C., and Rogers, M.B., Mycoplasma infection transforms normal lung cells and induces bone morphogenetic protein 2 expression by post-transcriptional mechanisms. J Cell Biochem. 104(2): 580-594, 2007). A459 lung adenocarcinoma cells were derived from a human lung tumor (Giard DJ, et al. In vitro cultivation of human tumors: establishment of cell lines derived from a series of solid tumors. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 51: 1417-1423, 1973. PubMed: 4357758).
Project description:As environmental pollutants and possible carcinogens, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently been found to promote tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis after long-term pulmonary exposure. However, whether CNT-induced carcinogenesis can be inherited and last for generations remains unknown. Here, we establish a post-chronic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exposed human bronchial epithelium BEAS-2B cell model to investigate SWCNTs-induced carcinogenesis. At a tolerated sublethal dose level, post-chronic SWCNTs exposure significantly increases the migration and colony formation abilities of BEAS-2B cells, leading to cell malignant transformation. Notably, the malignant transformation of BEAS-2B cells is irreversible within 60 days recovery period after SWCNTs exposure, and the malignant transformation activities of cells gradually increase during the recovery period. Mechanism analyses show that post-chronic exposure to SWCNTs causes substantial DNA methylation and transcriptome dysregulation of BEAS-2B cells. Subsequent enrichment and clinical database analyses reveal that differentially expressed/methylated genes of BEAS-2B cells are enriched in cancer-related biological pathways, and several of these genes are validated in lung cancer patients.
