Project description:Traditional toxicity testing has been unable to keep pace with the introduction of new chemicals into commerce. Consequently, there are limited or no toxicity data upon which to base a risk assessment for many chemicals to which fish and wildlife may be exposed. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emblematic of this issue in that most the ecological hazards of most PFAS remain uncharacterized. The present study employed a high throughput assay to identify the concentration at which 20 PFAS, with diverse properties, elicited a concerted gene expression response in larval fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas, 5-6 days post-fertilization) exposed for 24 h. Based on a reduced transcriptome approach that measured whole body expression of 1832 genes, the median transcriptomic point of departure (tPOD) for the 20 PFAS tested was 10 µM. Longer chain carboxylic acids (12-13 C-F) and an eight C-F di-alcohol, N-alkyl sulfonamide, and telomer sulfonic acid were among the most potent PFAS, eliciting gene expression responses at concentrations below 1 µM. With a few exceptions, larval fathead minnow tPODs were concordant with those based on whole transcriptome response in human cell lines. However, larval fathead minnow tPODs were often greater than those for Daphnia magna exposed to the same PFAS. The tPODs overlapped concentrations at which other sub-lethal effects have been reported in fish (available for 10 PFAS; including a range of species, life stages, and study designs). Nonetheless, fathead minnow tPODs were all orders of magnitude higher than aqueous PFAS concentrations detected in tributaries of the North American Great Lakes suggesting a substantial margin of safety in those systems, even for PFAS with significant potential for bioaccumulation. Overall, results broadly support the use of a fathead minnow larval transcriptomics assay to derive screening level potency estimates for use in ecological risk-based prioritization.

Project description:This study used high-throughput transcriptomics (HTTr) to evaluate the gene expression effects of 133 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in HepaRG cells. The PFAS chemicals were selected using a category-based prioritization approach developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure representation of structurally diverse compounds with relevance to human exposure and regulatory interest (Patlewicz et al., 2019; https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP4555). Differentiated HepaRG cells were exposed to each PFAS in concentration-response format (0.1 to 100 µM) for 24 hours. Transcriptomic changes were measured using the TempO-Seq platform (BioSpyder Technologies), enabling expression profiling of approximately 20,000 human genes. The resulting gene expression data were used to characterize the concentration-dependent molecular responses to PFAS exposure using connectivity mapping and to derive transcriptomic points of departure (tPODs). This dataset contributes to a broader effort to screen the bioactivity of environmental chemicals using HTTr in human liver-derived cells. It supports the use of transcriptomic profiling to identify bioactive PFAS, elucidate affected molecular pathways, and inform chemical hazard assessment.

Project description:RNA-seq expression assays were done in larval Pimephales promelas (Fathead minnow, FHM) exposed to 10 chemicals (3 metals, 4 Neonicotinoids, and 3 pharmaceuticals) over a range of concentrations to derive relatively short term transcriptomics based points of departure (tPODs). tPODs were compared to apical points of departures (aPODs) to investigate the potential use of the FHM tPODS as part of a high throughput approach that might be used in a regulatory context.

Project description:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) – the so-called ‘forever chemicals’ – are a major cause of environmental and health concern due to their toxicity and long-term persistence. To help understand what is happening within bacterial cells during PFNA exposure Thermal Proteome Profiling (TPP) was performed in E. coli wild-type and a mutant.

Project description:Due to their environmental prevalence, persistence, and potential toxicity, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are contaminants of concern. However, except for a few well studied PFAS, hazard data required to evaluate their risk to aquatic ecosystems are limited. The present study used a 24-hour, high throughput assay to screen 22 PFAS with varying chain lengths and functional groups for effects on the transcriptome of a green algal species, Raphidocelis subcapitata. The tested PFAS included perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids, perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid ethers, alcohols, sulfonic acids, and sulfonamides. Algae were exposed in a 96-well microplate format to 8 concentrations (nominally, 100 to 0.03 uM) of each PFAS, in a 1/2 log dilution series. Analytical measurements of PFAS concentration were made at the initiation of exposure and after 24 hours. In addition to traditional endpoints (i.e., biomass, viability, and chlorophyll), RNA was extracted for sequencing of the transcriptome. Concentration response curves were fit to the resulting transcriptomic data to calculate gene-specific benchmark concentrations. The distribution of benchmark concentrations was subsequently used to calculate a transcriptomic point of departure (tPOD) which represents a concentration below which no concerted molecular change is detected in response to PFAS exposure. The resulting tPODs were compared with traditional endpoints and environmentally detected concentrations of specific PFAS.

Project description:Multiple per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been associated with adverse liver outcomes in adult humans and toxicological models, but effects on the developing liver or biologic pathways involved are not known. We performed whole-transcriptome gene expression analysis to investigate the molecular mechanisms of liver toxicity in the dam and female fetuses after exposure to two different PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its replacement, hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA, commonly referred to as GenX).

Project description:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a very large (thousands of chemicals) category; these substances have important industrial and consumer product applications. PFAS are highly persistent in the environment, and some are known to pose human health hazard. Regulatory agencies worldwide are considering restrictions and outright bans of PFAS; however, little data exists to make informed decisions. Therefore, a prioritization strategy is urgently needed for evaluation of potential hazards of PFAS. Structure-based grouping could expedite selection of PFAS for testing; still, the hypothesis that structure-effect relationships exist requires confirmation. We tested 26 structurally diverse PFAS from 8 groups in two human cell types from organs that are thought to be targets for PFAS. We used human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes and tested concentration-response effects on both cell function and gene expression. Few phenotypic effects were observed in hepatocytes, but negative chronotropy was observed for 8 of 26 PFAS. Substance- and cell-dependent transcriptomic changes were more pronounced; however, little evidence of group-specific effects was observed. In hepatocytes, we found up-regulation of stress-related and extracellular matrix organization pathways, and down-regulation of fat metabolism. In cardiomyocytes, contractility-related pathways were most affected. Using these data, we derived phenotypic and transcriptomic point of departure estimates and compared them to predicted PFAS exposures. The conservative estimates for bioactivity and exposure were used to derive margin-of-exposure (MOE) for each PFAS. We found that most (23 of 26) PFAS had MOE>1. Overall, our data suggests that chemical structure-based grouping of PFAS may not be an appropriate strategy to predict their biological effects. This means that testing of the individual PFAS would be needed for confident decision-making. Our proposed strategy of using two human cell types and considering both phenotypic and transcriptomic effects, combined with dose-response analysis, may be used for prioritization of PFAS.
