Standard forensic procedures to examine bullets after an exchange of fire include a mechanical or ballistic reconstruction of the event. While this is routine to identify which projectile hit a subject by DNA analysis of biological material on the surface of the projectile, it is rather difficult to determine which projectile caused the lethal injury--often the crucial point with regard to legal proceedings. With respect to fundamental law it is the duty of the public authority to make every end ...[more]

Project description:We have measured the proteomes of different major bovine organs in multiple replicate. Before the actual sample preparation, organs were penetrated with metal bullets experimentally. The biological material on these projectiles was then "on-surface" digested using trypsin and analyzed using LC-MS/MS. Further experiments have been done testing the influence of different metal types, shooting and the contamination with human blood.

Project description:A convergence of technological breakthroughs in the past decade has facilitated the development of rapid screening tools for biomarkers of toxicant exposure and effect. Platforms using the whole adult organism to evaluate the genome-wide response to toxicants are especially attractive. Recent work demonstrates the feasibility of this approach in vertebrates using the experimentally robust zebrafish model. In the present study, we evaluated gene expression changes in whole adult zebrafish following an acute 24 hour exposure to three metals with known human health risks. Male adult zebrafish were exposed to nickel chloride, cobalt chloride, and sodium dichromate concentrations corresponding to their respective 96 hr LC20, LC40 and LC60. Histopathology was performed on a subset of metal-exposed zebrafish to phenotypically anchor transcriptional changes associated with each metal. Comparative analysis identified subsets of differentially expressed transcripts both overlapping and unique to each metal. Application of gene ontology (GO) and transcription factor enrichment algorithms revealed a number of key biological processes perturbed by metal exposures and the master transcriptional regulators mediating gene expression changes. Metal exposures differentially activated biological processes associated with ribosome biogenesis, proteosomal degradation and p53 signaling cascades, while repressing oxygen-generating pathways associated with amino acid and lipid metabolism. Despite appreciable effects on gene regulation, nickel exposures did not induce any morphological alterations in zebrafish organs and tissues. Histopathological effects of cobalt remained confined to the olfactory system, while chromium targeted the gills, pharynx and intestinal mucosa. A number of enriched transcription factors mediate the observed gene response to metal exposure, including known targets such as p53, HIF1M-oM-^AM-! and the myc oncogene and novel regulatory factors such as XBP1, GATA6 and HNF3M-oM-^AM-". This work uses an experimentally innovative approach to capture global responses to metal exposures and provides mechanistic insights into metal toxicity mechanisms. Metal induced changes in gene expression in zebrafish were measured after 24 h exposures to each of three metals (nickel, chromium or cobalt). A total of 48 arrays were processed - 16 arrays per metal with 4 replicates for each exposure condition (control, low, mid, and high).

Project description:Cells respond to changes in environment by shifting their gene expression profile to deal with the new conditions. The cellular response to changes in metal homeostasis is an important example of this. Transition metals such as iron, zinc, and copper are essential micronutrients but other metals such as cadmium are simply toxic. The cell must maintain metal concentrations in a window that supports efficient metabolic function but must also protect against the damaging effects of high concentrations of these metals. One way a cell regulates metal homeostasis is to control genes involved in metal mobilization and storage. Much of this regulation occurs at the level of transcription and the protein most responsible for this is the conserved metal responsive transcription factor, MTF-1. Interestingly, the nature of the changes in the gene expression profile depends on the type of exposure. The cell somehow senses the kind of metal challenge and responds appropriately. We have been using the Drosophila system to try to understand the mechanism of this metal discrimination. Using genome-wide mapping of MTF-1 binding under different metal stresses, we find that, surprisingly, MTF-1 chooses different DNA binding sites depending on the specific nature of the metal insult. We also find that the type of binding site chosen is an important component of the capability to induce the metal-specific transcription activation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with Drosophila genomic tiling arrays (ChIP-chip) was used to identify genomic regions directly bound by dMTF-1 in untreated and metal (Cu and Cd) challenged S2 cells. The dMTF-1 antibody was raised against amino acids 1-113 and 406-540 of MTF-1.

Project description:From the result of comparative the gene expression analyses of human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 following exposures of three heavy metals; arsenic, cadmium and nickel and three carcinogens; N-dimethylnitrosoamine (DMN), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and tetrachloroethylene (TCE), 31-55% of the genes altered by As, Cd and Ni exposure were overlapped with those by three model carcinogen exposures in our experiments. In particular, three heavy metals shared certain characteristics with TPA and TCE in remarkable up-regulations of the genes associated with progression of cell cycle, which might play a central role in heavy metal carcinogenesis. In addition, this characteristic of gene expressions alteration was counteracted by intracellular accumulation of vitamine C in As-exposed cells but not in Cd- and Ni-exposed cells. These results suggest that the cell proliferative responses are caused by reactive oxygen species mainly in As exposure, while other mechanisms would be involved in these responses in Cd and Ni exposures. Experiment Overall Design: In this study, we examined the gene expression alteration in human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 following exposures of three heavy metals; arsenic, cadmium and nickel and three carcinogens; N-dimethylnitrosoamine (DMN), 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and tetrachloroethylene (TCE) using DNA microarray with 8795 human genes. Furthermore, we also performed the DNA microarray analyses for the heavy metal exposed-cells that were loaded with vitamine C beforehand to examine the effects of antioxidant molecule to heavy metal exposures.

Project description:Internal organs heal injuries with new connective tissue. However the cellular and molecular events, and the sources of this tissue, remain obscure. Here we tagged extracellular matrix around the mesothelium lining various mouse tissues: peritoneum, liver, and cecum, and applied various injury models. We discovered that preexisting matrix is transferred across organs into wounds. Using proteomics, genetic lineage-tracing and by selectively injuring juxtaposed organs, we demonstrate that the matrix tissue of origin likely dictates the final healing outcome: whether scarring or regeneration.

Project description:Marine biomonitoring programs in the U.S. and Europe have historically relied on monitoring tissue concentrations of bivalves to monitor contaminant levels and ecosystem health. By integrating M-bM-^@M-^Xomic methods with these tissue residue approaches we can uncover mechanistic insight to help link tissue concentrations to toxic effects. In an effort to identify novel biomarkers and better understand the molecular toxicology of metal bioaccumulation in bivalves, we exposed the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis L., to sub-lethal concentrations (0.54 M-oM-^AM--M) of cadmium, lead, and a Cd+Pb mixture. Metal concentrations were measured in gill tissues at 1, 2, and 4 weeks, and increased linearly over the 4 week duration. In addition, there was evidence that Pb interfered with Cd uptake in the mixture treatment. Using a 3025 sequence microarray for M. edulis, we performed transcriptomic analysis, identifying 57 differentially expressed sequences. Hierarchical clustering of these sequences successfully distinguished the different treatment groups demonstrating that the expression profiles were reproducible among the treatments. Enrichment analysis of gene ontology terms identified several biological processes that were perturbed by the treatments, including nucleoside phosphate biosynthetic processes, mRNA metabolic processes, and response to stress. To identify transcripts whose expression level correlated with metal bioaccumulation, we performed Pearson correlation analysis. Several transcripts correlated with gill metal concentrations including mt10, mt20, and contig 48, an unknown transcript containing a wsc domain. In addition, three transcripts directly involved in the Unfolded protein response (UPR) were induced in the metal treatments at 2 weeks and were further up-regulated at 4 weeks. Overall, correlation of tissue concentrations and gene expression responses indicates that as mussels accumulate higher concentrations of metals, initial stress responses are mobilized to protect tissues. However, given the role of UPR in apoptosis, it serves as an early indicator of stress, which once overwhelmed will result in adverse physiological effects. A total of 52 samples including initial samples and 3 time-points following exposure to cadmium, lead, or a mixture. There were four replicate samples for each treatment and time-point. An additional three replicate samples were used for RT-qPCR.

Project description:Digested dietary fats are taken up, processed and transported by enterocytes to supply the body with lipids. Most absorbed lipids are assembled into pre-chylomicrons in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of enterocytes, which are then transported to the Golgi for maturation and subsequent secretion to the circulation. The role of mitochondria in regulating intestinal lipid transport remains unknown. Here we show that mitochondrial dysfunction in enterocytes inhibits chylomicron production and the transport of dietary lipids to peripheral organs. Mice with intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific ablation of the mitochondrial-specific aspartyl - tRNA synthetase DARS2, as well as of the respiratory chain subunit SDHA or the assembly factor COX10 failed to thrive and showed massive accumulation of lipids within large lipid droplets (LDs) in enterocytes of the proximal small intestine (SI). Feeding a fat-free diet inhibited the formation of LDs in DARS2-deficient enterocytes, showing that accumulating lipids derive mostly from digested fat. Furthermore, metabolic tracing studies revealed impaired transport of dietary lipids to peripheral organs in mice lacking DARS2 in IECs. Moreover, DARS2-deficient enterocytes showed a distinct lack of mature chylomicrons concomitant with a disorganisation of the Golgi apparatus, suggesting that impaired ER to Golgi trafficking underlies impaired chylomicron production and secretion. Taken together, these results revealed a vital role of mitochondria in regulating dietary lipid transport in enterocytes, which is relevant for understanding the intestinal and nutritional defects observed in patients with mitochondrial defects.
