Project description:Plastics are one of the most preoccupying emerging pollutants. Macroplastics released in the environment degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics. Because of their small size, these micro and nano plastic particles can enter the food chain and, in addition to their ecotoxicological effects, contaminate humans with still unknown biological effects. Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. In order to get a better appraisal of the effects of plastic particles on macrophages, we have studied the effects of unmodified polystyrene particles of 0.1, 1 and 10 micrometers of diameter, by a combination of proteomics and targeted approaches. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes of the proteome in response to exposure to plastics, with more than one third of the detected proteins showing a significance change in their abundance in response to cell exposure to at least one plastic beads size. These changes affected for example mitochondrial, lysosomal or cytoskeletal proteins. Although an increase in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential was detected in response to 10 micrometer beads, no alteration in cell viability was observed. Similarly, no lysosomal dysfunction and no alteration in the phagocytic capability of the cells was observed in response to exposure to plastic. When the inflammatory response was examined, no increase in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor or interleukin 6 was observed. Oppositely, the secretion of these cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide was observed after exposure to plastic, which suggested a decreased ability of macrophages to respond to bacterial infection. In conclusion, these results provide a better understanding of the responses of macrophages to exposure to polystyrene particles of different sizes.

Project description:Plastics are one of the most preoccupying emerging pollutants. Macroplastics released in the environment degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics. Because of their small size, these micro and nano plastic particles can enter the food chain and, in addition to their ecotoxicological effects, contaminate humans with still poorly known biological effects. Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. Because of all the potential problems, it is advocated to replace fossil fuel-based plastics by bio-based and bio-degradable plastics, among which poly-hydroxyalkanoates are the most promising. However, the effects of these on mammalian cells are even less known than those of fossil fuel-based plastics. We therefore designed a study aiming at investigating the effects of polylactic acid (PLA) nanoparticles on macrophages. Indeed, being a plastic, PLA is known to fragment and liberate micro and nanoparticles, exactly as conventional plastics. These particles will be internalized by macrophages and may induce functional consequences on these cells. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes of the proteome in response to exposure to PLA, and several important pathways such as mitochondrion, lysosomes or endoplasmic reticulum were highlighted by the proteomic analysis. However, validation experiments showed that most of these changes were homeostatic and allowed the cells to keep these functions unaltered. When the inflammatory response was examined, no major increase in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor or interleukin 6 was observed. However, the secretion of these cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide was altered after exposure to PLA. The production of interleukin 6 was decreased, while the production of tumor necrosis factor, showing a complex alteration of cellular responses after exposure to PLA nanoparticles. In conclusion, these results provide a better understanding of the responses of macrophages to exposure to the biodegradable PLA nanoparticles.

Project description:Tattoos are becoming increasingly popular across generations, with 10-20% of the population in Europe and the United States bearing at least one tattoo. Tattoos represent an intradermal injection of pigments (i.e. coloured insoluble micro- and nano-particles), which remain in place throughout life. Although tattoos have existed for centuries, the question of their health impact has really arisen rather lately, so that a significant gap in our understanding of the cellular and molecular long-term effects of these pigments on the body remains. In this project, we investigate a wide range of tattoo pigments on macrophages. Macrophages, pivotal in pigment persistence through phagocytic processes and capture-release-recapture cycles, are also key players in the inflammatory response and tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation in macrophage functionalities can potentially lead to substantial health consequences such as deficient immune response or such as sarcoidosis. To assess the long-term effects of tattoos, we tested iron-based pigments (which are widely used in the medical field for dermopigmentation of the nipple-areola complex after mastectomy) using an exposure scheme consisting in an acute exposure for 24 hours and a 5-days post exposure recovery period. Proteomic analyses were conducted to understand the underlying cellular mechanisms.

Project description:Plastics are one of the most preoccupying emerging pollutants. Macroplastics released in the environment degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics. Because of their small size, these micro and nano plastic particles can enter the food chain and, in addition to their ecotoxicological effects, contaminate humans with still poorly known biological effects. Plastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in the human body by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. One of the major issues with plastic contamination of living cells is their extremely variable biodegradability. Many petroleum-based plastics such as polyethylene and polystyrene are very poorly biodegradable, while the degradability of other plastic types such as polyesters is very variable. Moreover, the exposure of humans to plastics is typically a chronic, repeated exposure, and not an acute one as in most of the in vitro toxicology studies devoted to nanoplastics.In this research project, we compare the proteomes of macrophages exposed to repeated doses (8x10µg/ml) of different plastic particles, in order to decipher their responses to these pollutants of concern. We included in this study two poorly biodegradable plastics (polystyrene and poly-ethyleneterephthalate) and two biodegradable plastics (polylactide and polycaprolactone). For comparisons reasons, the data obtained on cells exposed to the same cumulative dose at once (1x80µg/ml) are also included.

Project description:Plastics are emerging pollutants of great concern. Macroplastics degrade into microplastics and nanoplastics, which can accumulate in living organisms with still poorly known consequences. Nanoplastics being particulate pollutants, they are handled in animal organisms by scavenger cells such as macrophages, which are important players in the immune system. Polyethylene terephthalate is one of these plastics of concern, as it is widely used in food packaging where it releases nanoparticles. We have thus undertaken a study on the effects of true-to-life polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles prepared from water bottles on macrophages. To this purpose, we used a combination of proteomics and targeted validation experiments. Proteomics showed important adaptive changes in the proteome in response to exposure to polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles. These changes affected for example mitochondrial, cytoskeletal and lysosomal proteins, but also proteins implicated in immune functions. Validation experiments showed that many of these changes were homeostatic, with no induced oxidative stress and no gross perturbation of the mitochondrial function. However, polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and disturbed the immune functions of macrophages. We indeed observed a slight pro-inflammatory response (1.5-fold increase in TNF secretion). We also observed a decrease in the response to bacterial stimulation (1.6 decrease in IL-6 secretion). We also observed a 20 percent decrease in the expression of important proteins involved in immune responses such as TLR2, TLR7 or collectin 12, and a two-fold decrease in the production of lysozyme. This suggests that macrophages having ingested polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticles are less efficient in their immune functions.

Project description:Synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) is a nanomaterial used in a wide variety of applications, including the use as a food additive. Two types of SAS are commonly employed as a powder additive, precipitated silica and fumed silica. Numerous studies have investigated the effects of synthetic amorphous silica on mammalian cells. However, most of them have used an exposure scheme based on a single dose of SAS. In this study, we have used instead a repeated 10-days exposure scheme, closer to the occupational exposure encountered in daily life. As a biological model we have used the murine macrophage cell line J774A.1, as macrophages are very important innate immune cells in the response to particulate materials. In order to get a better appraisal of the macrophage responses to this repeated exposure to SAS, we have used proteomics as a wide-scale approach. Furthermore, some of the biological pathways detected as modulated by the exposure to SAS by the proteomic experiments have been validated through targeted experiments. Overall, proteomics showed that precipitated SAS induced a more important macrophage response than fumed SAS at equal dose. Nevertheless, validation experiments showed that most of the responses detected by proteomics are indeed adaptive, as the cellular homeostasis appeared to be maintained at the end of the exposure. For example, the intracellular glutathione levels or the mitochondrial transmembrane potential at the end of the 10 days exposure were similar for SAS-exposed cells and for unexposed cells. Nevertheless, important functions of macrophages such as phagocytosis, TNF and interleukin-6 secretion were up-modulated after exposure, as was the expression of important membrane proteins such as the scavenger receptor or the MAC-1 receptor. These results suggest that repeated exposure to low doses of SAS slightly modulates the immune functions of macrophages, which may alter the homeostasis of the immune system.

Project description:Some carboxydotrophs like Rhodospirillum rubrum are able to grow with CO as their sole source of energy using a Carbone monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) and an Energy conserving hydrogenase (ECH) to perform anaerobically the so called water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) (CO + H2O-> CO2 + H2). Several studies have focused at the biochemical and biophysical level on this enzymatic system and a few OMICS studies on CO metabolism. Knowing that CO is toxic in particular due to its binding to heme iron atoms, and is even considered as a potential antibacterial agent, we decided to use a proteomic approach in order to analyze R. rubrum adaptation in term of metabolism and management of the toxic effect. In particular, this study allowed highlighting a set of proteins likely implicated in ECH maturation, and important perturbations in term of cofactor biosynthesis, especially metallic cofactors. This shows that even this CO tolerant microorganism cannot avoid completely CO toxic effects associated with its interaction with metallic ions.

Project description:The project is focused on the soil bacterium model Bacillus subtilis that is one of the essential components of the rhizosphere. In its natural ecosystem, this bacterium develops in the form of a biofilm, particularly around plant roots. Two types of biofilm that are closer to its natural environment than the usual liquid type culture, have been assayed, pellicle biofilm and swarming. We then used the power of shotgun proteomics and bioinformatics tools to analyze in details these two somehow similar modes of cultures. Several physiological and metabolic patterns including proteins implicated in sporulation have shown significant differences triggered by the growth culture mode. The effect of two types of nanoparticles SiO2 and the widely used nanoceria (cerium oxide nanoparticles) has then been studied in the same way. This allowed us to investigate in details the response of the bacteria to the cerium oxide nanoparticles and especially to focus on the differences observed depending on the biofilm type, including proteins associated with iron homeostasis. This clearly highlighted the importance of eventually testing several growth conditions and pinpointed the power of proteomics helping building mechanistic hypotheses.

Project description:Sulfur mustard (SM) is a potent alkylating agent. We are developing medical countermeasures to reduce the injury caused by SM exposure. Screening in the mouse ear vesicant model has identified three effective compounds: dimercaprol (British anti-lewisite), indomethacin, and octyl homovanillamide (OHV). To identify gene expression changes that correlate with compound efficacy we used oligonucleotide microarrays to compare gene expression profiles in vehicle-exposed skin, SM-exposed skin, and skin pretreated with each compound before SM exposure. Mice were topically exposed on the inner surface of the right ear to SM alone or pretreated for 15 min with one of the compounds and then exposed to SM. Left ears were vehicle-exposed. Ear tissue was harvested 24 hr later for ear weight determination (an endpoint indicating compound efficacy). The exposure groups were: methylene chloride (sulfur mustard vehicle); ethanol (drug vehicle); 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 6.25 mg dimercaprol 15 min before 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 1.34 mg indomethacin 15 min before 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 0.6 mg octylhomovanillamide 15 min before 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 6.25 mg dimercaprol alone; 1.34 mg indomethacin alone; 0.6 mg octylhomovanillamide alone. RNA was extracted from the tissues and used to generate oligonucleotide microarray probes. Principal component analysis of the gene expression data revealed partitioning of the samples based on drug treatment and SM exposure. Vehicle-exposed mouse ears clustered away from the other treatment groups. SM-exposed mouse ears pretreated with dimercaprol or OHV clustered more closely with vehicle-exposed ears, while SM-exposed mouse ears pretreated with indomethacin clustered more closely with SM-exposed ears. This clustering of the samples is supported by the ear weight data, in which the indomethacin group has ear weights closer to the SM-exposed group, whereas the dimercaprol and OHV groups have ear weights closer to the vehicle-exposed group. Correlation coefficients were calculated for each gene based on the correlation between gene expression level and ear weight. These data provide the basis for understanding what gene expression changes are important in the development of effective SM medical countermeasures. Experiment Overall Design: Exposure of mouse ears to sulfur mustard alone, sulfur mustard preceded by drug treatment, or vehicle compounds. Naive controls were also included. Biological replicates of at least n=3 were examined for each exposure condition.

Project description:Two-year rodent bioassays play a central role in evaluating both the carcinogenic potential of a chemical and generating quantitative information on the dose-response behavior for chemical risk assessments. The bioassays involved are expensive and time-consuming, requiring nearly lifetime exposures (two years) in mice and rats and costing $2 to $4 million per chemical. Since there are approximately 80,000 chemicals registered for commercial use in the United States and 2,000 more are added each year, applying animal bioassays to all chemicals of concern is clearly impossible. To efficiently and economically identify carcinogens prior to widespread use and human exposure, alternatives to the two-year rodent bioassay must be developed. In this study, animals were exposed for 13 weeks to 10 chemicals that were positive for liver tumors in the two-year rodent bioassay, 14 chemicals that were negative for liver tumors, and two chemicals that produced an equivocal response. Matched vehicle control groups were run concurrently with each chemical treatment. Gene expression analysis was performed on the livers of the animals to assess the potential for identifying gene expression biomarkers and signaling pathways that can predict tumor formation in a two-year bioassay following a 13 week exposure. Five-week-old female B6C3F1 mice were exposed for 13 weeks to 26 chemicals. The chemical and dose information are provided with the individual sample annotations. With each chemical treatment, a matched vehicle control group was run concurrently with the exposure. A subset of five chemicals, methylene chloride, naphthalene, 1,2,3-trichloropropane, propylene glycol mono-t-butyl ether, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene, were performed in a five-point dose response with matched control groups. The concentrations for these exposures overlapped those in the original cancer bioassay. Gavage exposures were administered 5 days per week and feed exposures were provided 7 days per week. For inhalation exposures, mice were exposed 6 hr per day, 5 days per week. After 13 weeks, animals were euthanized and livers were collected. The right, caudate and median liver lobes were minced together and used for microarray analysis. Microarray analysis was performed on the livers of three to five mice per treatment group.
