Fast hyperbaric decompression after heliox saturation altered the brain proteome in rats

ABSTRACT: In order to better understand physiological mechanisms and neurological symptoms involved in the development of decompression sickness we determined effects in rats on the brain proteome of fast decompression (1 bar/20 s) compared to controls (1 bar/10 min) after heliox saturation diving. The orbitrap LC-MS/MS data files presented here resulted in 1062 proteins quantified using label-free proteomics. Based on the 128 significantly regulated proteins in the orbitrap dataset and 56 in an iontrap dataset (967 quantified proteins), the networks “synaptic vesicle fusion and recycling in nerve terminals” and “translation initiation” were significantly enriched in a system biological database analysis (Metacore). Ribosomal proteins (RLA2, RS10) and the proteins hippocalcin-like protein 4 and proteasome subunit beta type-7 were significantly upregulated in both datasets. The heat shock protein 105 kDa, Rho-associated protein kinase 2 and Dynamin-1 were significantly downregulated in both datasets.

Better understanding of the physiological mechanisms and neurological symptoms involved in the development of decompression sickness could contribute to improvements of diving procedures. The main objective of the present study was to determine effects on the brain proteome of fast decompression (1 bar/20 s) compared to controls (1 bar/10 min) after heliox saturation diving, using rats in a model system. The protein S100B, considered a biomarker for brain injury, was not significantly different ...[more]

Project description:Background: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common and severe complication of sepsis. While several studies have reported the proteomic alteration in plasma, urine, heart, etc. of sepsis, few research focused on the brain tissue. This study aims at discovering the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of septic rats to identify biomarkers of SAE. Methods: The Prague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sepsis (n = 6) or sham (n = 6) groups, and then the whole brain tissue was dissected at 24 h after surgery for further protein identification by TMT-LC–MS/MS-based proteomics. Ingenuity pathway analysis, Gene ontology knowledgebase, and STRING database are used to explore the biological significance of proteins with altered concentration. Results: Among the total of 3163 proteins identified in the brain tissue, 57 were increased while 38 were decreased in the sepsis group compared to the sham group. Bioinformatic analyses suggest that the differentially abundant proteins are highly related to cellular microtubule metabolism, energy production, nucleic acid metabolism, neurological disease, etc. Additionally, acute phase response signaling was possibly activated and PI3K/AKT signaling was suppressed during sepsis. An interaction network established by IPA revealed that Akt1, Gc-globulin, and ApoA1 were the core proteins. The increase of Gc-globulin and the decrease of Akt1 were confirmed by Western blot. Conclusions: Based on the multifunction of these proteins in several brain diseases, we first propose that Gc-globulin, ApoA1, PI3K/AKT pathway, and acute phase response proteins (hemopexin and cluster of alpha-2-macroglobulin) can potentially be diagnosis biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and prognosis indicators of SAE. These results may provide new insights into the pathologic mechanism of SAE, yet further research is required to explore the functional implications and clinical applications of the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of sepsis group.

Project description:Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are among the most promising nanomaterials because of their physical and chemical properties. However, since they are biopersistent fiber-like materials which share similarities with asbestos, concerns have arisen about their health effects. With their various industrial usages, occupational exposure to MWCNTs may occur mainly by inhalation as these nanomaterials can get aerosolised. The number of toxicological studies on CNTs has steadily increased for the last decades. Different works showed that MWCNT exposure by inhalation or intratracheal instillation could lead to pulmonary toxicity, such as lung inflammation, genotoxicity, fibrosis or lung cancer (Kasai et al. 2015, Kasai et al. 2016, Porter et al. 2013, Suzui et al. 2016). To date, only one MWCNT (MWNT-7) has been classified as possibly carcinogen to human (Group 2B) while the others have not been as classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3) because of the lack of data on their carcinogenic potential (IARC 2017). Because of the wide variety of CNTs with various length, diameter or functionalisation, additional effort is required to assess their pulmonary toxicity. As a complementary approach to conventional toxicological assays, the omics methods are useful technologies for the mechanistic understanding of the toxicological effects observed following exposure to chemicals and particulate matters. Importantly, they can also be used as predictive tools for identifying the mode of action of other particles with similar physical and chemical characteristics. These molecular approaches may also be used for the discovery of exposure markers or early markers of adverse effects, before the appearance of clinical signs of a disease (Rahman et al. 2017). Several studies assessed gene expression alteration following in vivo exposure to CNTs (Poulsen et al. 2015, Snyder-Talkington et al. 2013, Ellinger-Ziegelbauer and Pauluhn 2009). These omics approaches were used to identify genes and pathways modulated in response to exposure. However, there are still too few studies to assess the link between MWCNT physico-chemical properties, global gene or protein expression profiles, and long-term effects. In a previous study, we showed that inhalation of two pristine MWCNTs, the long and thick NM-401, and the short and thin NM-403, induced alveolar neutrophilic granulocyte influx, a hallmark of inflammation, which was proportional to the lung CNT BET surface deposited dose (Gate et al. 2019). However, due to their different physical and chemical properties, one could assume that these two CNTs may have diverse toxicological profiles, but the conventional toxicology approaches used in this early work were probably not sensitive enough to identify such differences. In order to gain additional insight about their toxicological properties, in the current study, we compare the alteration induced by the two MWCNTs on the transcriptome in the lung tissue and the proteome in the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) after rat exposure by inhalation. The omics analyses were performed from 3 days up to 180 days.
