Project description:PFAS are persistent man-made chemicals considered to be emerging pollutants, with PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS having associations with liver toxicity and steatosis. PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS can undergo placental/lactational transfer, however, little is known about the impact of PFAS mixtures during the developmental window, nor maternal diet on PFAS adverse effects. It was hypothesized that gestational/lactational PFAS exposure would alter the pup liver proteome. The work herein evaluated the liver proteome in offspring, identifying potential biochemical/signaling pathways altered via maternal PFAS exposure. Timed-pregnant CD-1 dams were fed a standard chow or 60% kcal high-fat diet. From GD1 until PND20, dams were orally gavaged daily with either 0.5% Tween 20, individual PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS at 1 mg/kg, or a mixture (1 mg/kg each, totaling 3 mg/kg). Livers were collected from PND21 offspring and SWATH-MS pro-teomics was performed. IPA analysis revealed disease and biological function pathways involved in liver damage, xenobiotics, and lipid regulation were modulated by PFAS exposure in the PND21 liver: lipid transport, storage, oxidation, and synthesis, xenobiotic metabolism and transport, liver damage and inflammation, and fatty acid metabolism, oxidation and transport. This indicates the pup liver proteome is altered via maternal exposure and predisposes the pup to metabolic dysfunctions.

Project description:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of organic chemicals that contain multiple carbon-fluorine bonds, which make them highly stable and widespread in our environment, even in the human body. They have been detected in cord blood and showed correlation with neonatal health abnormalities such as weight loss. Here, we utilized human embryonic stem cell-based model to assess the early developmental toxicity of six PFAS (PFOA, PFHxA, PFBA, PFOS, PFHxS, and PFBS) and their skin developmental toxicity. We employed global monolayer differentiated model to mimic the early embryonic development and performed non-neural ectoderm (NNE) differentiation which can give rise to keratinocytes to imitate early skin development. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that PFOS caused the most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) both in day 16 global monolayer samples and NNE samples to making it the most toxic of the six PFAS. Further validation of gene expression levels showed that the TGF-β signaling pathways were involved in the early global developmental toxicity and in the early skin developmental toxicity of PFOS. Interestingly, our results showed that PFOS inhibited the ciliogenesis of NNE cells, which may interfere with the transduction of TGF-β, Notch, Hedgehog, and Hippo signaling pathways, ultimately inhibiting early embryonic skin development and posing a potential threat to the occurrence of congenital skin diseases. Overall, our study suggests a potential toxicity mechanism by which PFAS inhibit ciliogenesis to interfere with the transduction of important signaling pathways, leading to early global developmental toxicity as well as early embryonic skin developmental toxicity and potential congenital skin diseases.

Project description:Background: Previously, we reported that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) promotes liver cancer in manner similar to that of 17β-estradiol (E2) in rainbow trout. Also, other perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are weakly estrogenic in trout and bind the trout liver estrogen receptor (ER). Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine whether multiple PFAAs enhance hepatic tumorigenesis in trout, an animal model that represents human insensitivity to peroxisome proliferators. Methods: A two-stage chemical carcinogenesis model was employed in trout to evaluate PFOA, perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (8:2FtOH) as complete carcinogens or promoters of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)- and/or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced liver cancer. A custom trout DNA microarray was used to assess hepatic transcriptional response to these dietary treatments in comparison to E2 and the classic peroxisome proliferator clofibrate (CLOF). Results: Incidence, multiplicity and size of liver tumors in trout fed diets containing E2, PFOA, PFNA and PFDA were significantly higher compared to AFB1-initiated animals fed control diet, whereas PFOS caused a minor increase in liver tumor incidence. E2 and PFOA also enhanced MNNG-initiated hepatocarcinogenesis. Pearson correlation analyses, unsupervised hierarchical clustering and principal components analyses showed that the hepatic gene expression profiles for E2 and PFOA, PFNA, PFDA and PFOS were overall highly similar, though distinct patterns of gene expression were evident for each treatment, particularly for PFNA. Conclusions: Overall, these data suggest that multiple PFAAs can promote liver cancer and that the mechanism of promotion may be similar to that for E2.

A total of 40 samples were analyzed using a a dye-swap, reference sample hybridization protocol. Rainbow trout were exposed to the following experimental treatments via the diet for two weeks (number in parenthesis is assigned group #): (1) Control; (2) 5 mg/kg diet estradiol (E2); (3) 2000 mg/kg diet perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA); (4) 2000 mg/kg diet perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA); (5) 2000 mg/kg diet perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA); (6) 200 mg/kg diet perfluorooctane sulfonate; (7) 2000 mg/kg 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH); and (8) 2000 mg/kg diet clofibrate. A total of 40 total hepatic mRNA samples were analyzed using a dye-swap, reference sample hybridization protocol. A reference RNA pool was made by combining equal amounts of RNA from all control RNA samples, with one exception. A separate time-matched reference pool was utilized for group 6 samples (PFOS treatment). Five hybridizations were performed for each treatment group in the following pattern: Replicate A Cy5/Reference Cy3; Replicate A Cy3/Reference Cy 5; Replicate B Cy5/Reference Cy3; Replicate B Cy3/Reference Cy5; Replicate C Cy5/Reference Cy3. Thus, the experiment consisted of three biological replicates, for two of which were replicated technically.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is most prevalent form of liver disease, affecting over 30% of Americans. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent a family of environmental toxicants that have infiltrated the living world. This study explores diet-PFAS interactions and their potential role in the increasing global incidence of NAFLD. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed with either a low-fat diet (11% kcal from fat) or a high fat (58% kcal from fat) high carbohydrate (42g/L) diet with or without PFOS or PFHxS in feed (0.0003% w/w) for 29 weeks. Proteomic, lipidomic, and gene expression measurement techniques were utilized to explore mechanistic pathways. With administration of a high fat high carbohydrate (HFHC) diet, PFOS and PFHxS augmented macrovesicular steatosis, indicative of fatty liver. There was a clear shift in the lipidome of the serum phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, and triglycerides with PFAS exposure. Finally, chain length exerted significant influence on tissue partitioning and the resulting hepatic gene and protein signatures of PFHxS and PFOS in vivo.

Project description:Most of the transcriptional changes induced by PFOS in the fetal mouse liver and lung were related to activation of PPARalpha. When compared to the transcript profiles induced by PFOA (Pubmed ID 17681415), few remarkable differences were found other than up-regulation of Cyp3a genes. Because PFOS and PFOA have been shown to differ in their mode of action in the murine neonate, these data suggest that changes related to PFOS-induced neonatal toxicity may not be evident in the fetal transcriptome at term. Experiment Overall Design: Thirty timed-pregnant CD-1 mice were orally dosed from gestation day 1-17 with either 0, 5, or 10 mg/kg/day PFOS in 0.5% Tween 20. At term, fetal lung and liver were collected, total RNA prepared, and samples pooled from three fetuses per litter. Five biological replicates consisting of individual litter samples were then evaluated for each treatment group using Affymetrix mouse 430_2 microarrays.

Project description:The effect of perfluoroalkyl sulfonates on lipoprotein metabolism was investigated in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice with a humanized lipoprotein profile. Perfluorohexane sulfonate and perfluorooctane sulfonate markedly reduced both plasma TG and TC by decreasing nonHDL-C and HDL-C accompanied by a reduction in apoAI. Mechanistic studies showed that these effects were mainly caused by impaired lipoprotein production. Male E3L.CETP mice on a C57Bl/6 background were fed a Western-type diet, containing 0.25% (w/w) cholesterol, 1% (w/w) corn oil and 14% (w/w) bovine fat (Western-type diet) (Hope Farms, Woerden, The Netherlands) for 4 to 6 weeks in three independent experiments. Upon randomization according to total plasma cholesterol (TC) and TG levels, mice received the Western-type diet without or with PFBS (30 mg/kg/day), PFHxS (6 mg/kg/day) or PFOS (3 mg/kg/day) during 4-6 weeks. The effects of these PFAS on plasma lipids and lipoproteins were determined. In addition, PFAS levels were determined in plasma and livers were isolated for hepatic lipid analysis and hepatic gene expression analysis using an Affymetrix technology platform and Affymetrix GeneChip® mouse genome 430 2.0 arrays.
