Project description:Mycobacterium dioxanotrophicus PH-06 can degrade 1,4-dioxane (dioxane), which is a groundwater contaminant of emerging concern. In order to find the genes involved in dioxane degradation. RNA sequencing was first used to investigate gene expression levels of PH-06 during growth on two different carbon sources (dioxane and glucose). The sequencing shows that a monooxygenase gene cluster was upregulated when treated with dioxane relative to glucose.

Project description:We evaluated liver tissues of B6D2F1/Crl mice exposed to 0, 40, 200, 600, 2000, or 6000 ppm 1,4-dioxane in drinking water for 7, 28, or 90 days in support of an investigation of the mode of action for 1,4-dioxane-induced murine liver tumors. TempO-Seq technology was used to measure global hepatic gene expression. Exposure-induced transcriptional responses increased by dose and exposure duration, with few differentially expressed genes at 40 and 200 ppm regardless of exposure duration. Pathway enrichment analysis identified significant perturbations in pathways associated with xenobiotic metabolism, complement and coagulation cascades and fatty acid metabolism in 600, 2000, and 6000 ppm groups at all timepoints compared to time-matched control groups. A significant transcriptomic proliferative response was only observed in 6000 ppm exposed mice at 90 days. Differential gene expression and pathway enrichment analysis results suggest 600 ppm as a potential threshold concentration for hepatic transcriptomic response to 1,4-dioxane in female mice.

Project description:Understanding the bacterial community structure, and their functional analysis for active bioremediation process is essential to design better and cost effective strategies. Microarray analysis enables us to simultaneously study the functional and phylogenetic markers of hundreds of microorganisms which are involved in active bioremediation process in an environment. We have previously described development of a hybrid 60-mer multibacterial microarray platform (BiodegPhyloChip) for profiling the bacterial communities and functional genes simultaneously in environments undergoing active bioremediation process (Pathak et al; Appl Microbiol Biotechnol,Vol. 90, 1739-1754). The present study involved profiling the status of bacterial communities and functional (biodegradation) genes using the developed 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray BiodegPhyloChip at five contaminated hotspots in the state of Gujarat, in western India. The expression pattern of functional genes (coding for key enzymes in active bioremediation process) at these sites was studied to understand the dynamics of biodegradation in the presence of diverse group of chemicals. The results indicated that the nature of pollutants and their abundance greatly influence the structure of bacterial communities and the extent of expression of genes involved in various biodegradation pathways. In addition, site specific factors also play a pivotal role to affect the microbial community structure as was evident from results of 16S rRNA gene profiling of the five contaminated sites, where the community structure varied from one site to another drastically.

Project description:1,4-Dioxane (1,4-DX) is an environmental contaminant found in drinking water throughout the United States (US). While it is a suspected liver carcinogen, there is no federal or state maximum contaminant level for 1,4-DX in drinking water. Very little is known about the mechanisms by which this chemical elicits liver carcinogenicity. In the present study, we performed chronic and short-term dosing studies in female BDF-1 mice to explore the toxic effects of 1,4-DX. Histopathology studies and a multi-omics approach (transcriptomics and metabolomics) were performed to investigate potential mechanisms of toxicity. Mice were exposed to various concentrations of 1,4-DX (0, 50, 500 and 5,000 mg/L) in their drinking water for one or four weeks. Immunohistochemical analysis of the liver revealed an increase in the number of H2AXγ-positive hepatocytes (a marker of DNA double strand breaks) in mice exposed to 5,000 mg/L 1,4-DX for one and four weeks. In addition, an expansion of precholangiocytes was observed after four weeks of 5,000 mg/L 1,4-DX exposure, as reflected by CK-7 immunostaining. An increase in these markers reflect both DNA damage and repair mechanisms. Liver transcriptomics profiling showed that exposure to 5,000 mg/L 1,4-DX for four weeks resulted in the differential expression of 65 genes compared to controls. Pathway analysis of the transcriptomic data revealed 1,4-DX-induced perturbations in multiple signaling pathways in the liver, including those involved in xenobiotic metabolism, nicotine degradation and glutathione-mediated detoxification. Changes to these pathways as a result of 1,4-DX exposure reflect would be predicted to impact the oxidative stress response, detoxification, and DNA damage. Liver, kidney, stool and urine metabolomics profiling revealed no effect of 5,000 mg/L 1,4-DX exposure for one or four weeks on metabolites. We speculate that this may be reflective of DNA damage being counterbalanced by the repair response, with the net result being a null overall effect on the systemic biochemistry of the exposed mice. Our results show a novel approach for the investigation of environmental chemicals that do not elicit cell death, but have activated the repair systems in response to 1,4-DX exposure
