Project description:The purpose of this project was to investigate the effects of PFOS on skeletal muscle in vivo. To perform this work, Cyp2b-null and hCYP2B6-Tg mice were treated with 0, 1, or 10 mg/kg/day PFOS for 21 days. Gastrocnemius muscle was collected during necropsy and various assays were performed. RNA seq was performed to determine what gene expression changes occured due to PFOS treatment and the difference between genotypes.

Project description:Recently it was discovered that the perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) detected in wildlife, such as fish-eating birds, had a greater proportion of linear PFOS (L-PFOS) than the manufactured technical product (T-PFOS), which contains linear and branched isomers. This suggests toxicological studies based on T-PFOS data may inaccurately assess exposure risk to wildlife. To determine if PFOS effects were influenced by isomer content we compared the transcriptional profiles of cultured chicken embryonic hepatocytes (CEH) exposed to either L-PFOS or T-PFOS using Agilent microarrays. At equal concentrations (10 μM), T-PFOS altered the expression of more transcripts (340, >1.5 fold change, p<0.05) compared to L-PFOS (130 transcripts). Higher concentrations of L-PFOS (40 μM) were also less transcriptionally disruptive (217 transcripts) than T-PFOS at 10 μM. Functional analysis showed that L-PFOS and T-PFOS affected genes involved in lipid metabolism, hepatic system development and cellular growth and proliferation. Pathway and interactome analysis suggested that genes may be affected through the RXR receptor, oxidative stress response, TP53 signaling, MYC signaling, Wnt/β-catenin signaling and PPARγ and SREBP receptors. In all functional categories and pathways examined, the response elicited by T-PFOS was greater than L-PFOS. These data show that T-PFOS elicits a greater transcriptional response in CEH than L-PFOS alone and demonstrates the importance of considering the isomer-specific toxicological properties of PFOS when assessing exposure risk. Reference Design. Reference = pool of equal parts of all control and treated samples. Control groups and 5 treatment groups. Control samples were CEH exposed DMSO only (vehicle solvent). Treatments were: CEH exposed to 10 uM L-PFOS, 40 uM L-PFOS, 10 uM T-PFOS, 0.03 nM TCDD and 1 nM TCDD.

Project description:This series was used for two studies: Study 1: Recently it was discovered that the perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) detected in wildlife, such as fish-eating birds, had a greater proportion of linear PFOS (L-PFOS) than the manufactured technical product (T-PFOS), which contains linear and branched isomers. This suggests toxicological studies based on T-PFOS data may inaccurately assess exposure risk to wildlife. To determine if PFOS effects were influenced by isomer content we compared the transcriptional profiles of cultured chicken embryonic hepatocytes (CEH) exposed to either L-PFOS or T-PFOS using Agilent microarrays. At equal concentrations (10 ?M), T-PFOS altered the expression of more transcripts (340, >1.5 fold change, p<0.05) compared to L-PFOS (130 transcripts). Higher concentrations of L-PFOS (40 ?M) were also less transcriptionally disruptive (217 transcripts) than T-PFOS at 10 ?M. Functional analysis showed that L-PFOS and T-PFOS affected genes involved in lipid metabolism, hepatic system development and cellular growth and proliferation. Pathway and interactome analysis suggested that genes may be affected through the RXR receptor, oxidative stress response, TP53 signaling, MYC signaling, Wnt/?-catenin signaling and PPAR? and SREBP receptors. In all functional categories and pathways examined, the response elicited by T-PFOS was greater than L-PFOS. These data show that T-PFOS elicits a greater transcriptional response in CEH than L-PFOS alone and demonstrates the importance of considering the isomer-specific toxicological properties of PFOS when assessing exposure risk. Study 2: In many bird populations, concentrations of perfluoroundanoic acid (PFUdA) are second only to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) among perfluoroalkyl compounds. Here, we used microarrays to characterize the transcriptional response of cultured chicken embryonic hepatocytes (CEH) to PFUdA and compared it to the response induced by PFOS. At non-cytotoxic doses, PFUdA (1 or 10 ?M) disrupted the expression of more genes (854) than PFOS (447, at 10 or 40 ?M) in CEH. Using functional, pathway and interactome analysis we identified several potentially important modes-of-action (MoAs) for PFUdA and some associated key events, including the suppression of the acute-phase response (APR) through peroxisome proliferator activated receptor activation. We then measured the expression of five APR genes, fibrinogen alpha (fga), fibrinogen gamma (fgg), thrombin (f2), plasminogen (plg), and protein C (proC), in the liver of chicken embryos exposed in ovo to PFUdA. The expression of fga, f2, and proC were down-regulated in embryo livers (100 or 1000 ng/g, p<0.1) as predicted from microarray analysis, whereas fibrinogen gamma (fgg) was up-regulated and plg was not significantly affected. Our results demonstrate PFUdA is more transcriptionally disruptive than PFOS in CEH. Additionally, we identified APR suppression as a potentially important and environmentally relevant MoA. These findings suggest in ovo exposure of birds to PFUdA could lead to post-hatch developmental deficiencies, such as impaired immune response.

Project description:Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is a persistent, bio-accumulative pollutant that has been used for the last 60+ years in numerous industrial and commercial applications. In mice, PFOS administration is known to induce hepatomegaly and hepatic steatosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate potential PFOS and diet interactions and explore the mechanism of PFOS induced liver lipid accumulation. Prior to PFOS administration, mice were fed either a standard chow diet (SD) or 60% kCal high fat diet (HFD) for 4 weeks to establish significant body weight increase. After 4 weeks of diet acclimation, the treatment groups received 0.0003% PFOS in diet for an additional 10 weeks. In addition, a subset of the mice fed HFD were switched to a SD (H-SD) to mimic weight-loss induced improvement of hepatic steatosis. A total of six treatment groups: i) SD, ii) HSD, iii) HFD (H), iv) SD +PFOS(SDP), v) H-SD +PFOS (HSDP), and vi) HFD +PFOS (HP) were included. PFOS and lipid concentrations were measured in both serum and liver. Relative liver mRNA expression was determined by targeted bead array and proteins were quantified using untargeted mass spectrometry. PFOS exposure increased liver weight, and in the HFD increased liver triglycerides and liver cholesterol content. Gene and protein expression in the liver demonstrated that PFOS exposure induced lipid utilization and xenobiotic metabolism pathways, and in a HFD, induced lipid synthesis. The data suggests that PFOS exposure acts on lipid utilization genes and exacerbates hepatic steatosis in mice fed a HFD.

Project description:Muscle atrophy contributes to the poor prognosis of many physiopathological conditions, but pharmacological therapies are still limited. Muscle activity leads to major swings in mitochondrial [Ca2+] which control aerobic metabolism, cell death and survival pathways. We have investigated in vivo the effects of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle function and trophism, by overexpressing or silencing the Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter (MCU). The results coherently demonstrate that both in developing and in adult muscles MCU-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake has a marked trophic effect that does not depend on autophagy or aerobic control, but impinges on two major hypertrophic pathways of skeletal muscle, PGC-1M-NM-14 and Igf1-Akt/PKB. In adult mice, MCU overexpression protects from denervation-induced atrophy. These data reveal a novel Ca2+-dependent organelle-to-nucleus signaling route, which links mitochondrial function to the control of muscle mass and may represent a possible pharmacological target in sarcopenia. Experiments were performed on biological replicates of single skeletal muscle fibres. Seven fibres were chosen for their Mutochondrial Calcium Uniporter (MCU) overexpression and other seven fibres because MCU was silenced. Overexpression and silencing were performed injecting skeletal muscle with AAV containing MCU gene or short interfering oligos specific for MCU. As control was profiled eigth fibres transfected with AAV and eigth wild type fibres. Analyses were performed 7 days and 14 days after the AAV injection (3 fibers after 7 days and 4 fibers after 14 days for MCU overexpression and silencing, four fibres after 7 days and four after 14 days for control).

Project description:Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is a widespread environmental pollutant with a long half-life and clearly negative outcomes on metabolic diseases such as fatty liver and diabetes. Male and female Cyp2b-null and humanized CYP2B6-transgenic (hCYP2B6-Tg) mice were treated with 0, 1, or 10 mg/kg/day PFOS for 21 days, and surprisingly it was found that PFOS was retained at greater concentrations in the serum and liver of hCYP2B6-Tg mice than Cyp2b-null mice with greater differences in the females. Thus, Cyp2b-null and hCYP2B6-Tg mice provide new models for investigating individual mechanisms for PFOS bioaccumulation and toxicity. Overt toxicity was greater in hCYP2B6-Tg mice (especially females) as measured by mortality; however, steato-sis occurred more readily in Cyp2b-null mice despite the lower PFOS liver concentrations. Tar-geted lipidomics and transcriptomics from PFOS treated Cyp2b-null and hCYP2B6-Tg mouse livers were performed and compared to PFOS retention and serum markers of toxicity by PCA. Several oxylipins, including prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and docosahexaenoic acid metabo-lites are associated or inversely associated with PFOS toxicity. Both lipidomics and tran-scriptomics indicate PFOS toxicity is associated with PPAR activity in all models. GO terms as-sociated with reduced steatosis were sexually dimorphic with lipid metabolism and transport increased in females and circadian rhythm associated genes increased in males. However, we can rule out that steatosis was initially protective from PFOS toxicity. Moreover, several transporters are associated with increased retention probably due to increased uptake. The strongest associa-tions are the organic anion transport proteins (Oatp1a4-6) genes and a long-chain fatty acid transport protein (fatp1), enriched in female hCYP2B6-Tg mice. PFOS uptake was also reduced in cultured murine hepatocytes by OATP inhibitors. The role of OATP1A6 and FATP1 in PFOS transport has not been tested. In summary, Cyp2b-null and hCYP2B6-Tg mice provided unique models for estimating the importance of novel mechanisms in PFOS retention and toxicity.

Project description:Secondary mitochondrial dysfunction is a feature in a wide variety of human protein aggregate diseases caused by mutations in different proteins, both in the central nervous system and in striated muscle. The functional relationship between the expression of a mutated protein and mitochondrial dysfunction is largely unknown. In particular, the mechanism how this dysfunction drives the disease process is still elusive. To address this issue for protein aggregate myopathies, we performed a comprehensive, multi-level analysis of mitochondrial pathology in skeletal muscles of human patients with mutations in the intermediate filament protein desmin and in muscles of hetero- and homozygous knock-in mice carrying the R349P desmin mutation. We demonstrate that the expression of mutant desmin causes disruption of the extrasarcomeric desmin cytoskeleton and extensive mitochondrial abnormalities regarding subcellular distribution, number and shape. At the molecular level, we uncovered changes in the abundancy and assembly of the respiratory chain complexes and supercomplexes. In addition, we revealed a marked reduction of mtDNA- and nuclear DNA-encoded mitochondrial proteins in parallel with large-scale deletions in mtDNA and reduced mtDNA copy numbers. Hence, our data demonstrate that the expression of mutant desmin causes multi-level damage of mitochondria already in early stages of desminopathies.

Project description:PFOS, a member of the chemical group known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), is a well-documented environmental contaminant. Its high bioaccumulation potential and long elimination half-life can disrupt multiple biological pathways negatively affecting human health. The gastrointestinal tract (GI) is directly exposed to environmental pollutants via contaminated drinking water and food, potentially influencing intestinal homeostasis under both physiological and pathological conditions. Although some studies have highlighted the potential role of PFOS in tumor development, scientific literature on PFOS exposure in the GI is limited and the association between this environmental pollutant and GI-associated diseases remains to be determined. Therefore, this study aims to delineate the effects of PFOS on normal intestinal cells. The effect of PFOS on gene expression profiles was assessed through RNAseq analysis conducted on the intestinal tissue of C57BL/6 mice. Through RNAseq analysis, we identified the top pathways upregulated by PFOS as cancer, lipid metabolism and immune system. The KEGG analysis further highlighted significant gene enrichment in pro-oncogenic signaling pathways, including NOTCH, WNT/β-catenin and TGF-β. The RNAseq, q-RT-PCR and western blot analyses of normal intestinal tissues revealed that PFOS exposure leads to downregulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coa synthase 2 (HMGCS2), a key enzyme in the synthesis of β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB), a critical ketogenic molecule. In summary, our data suggests that PFOS may induce GI pathological changes that can increase the risk of CRC development. We identified that downregulation of ketogenesis and upregulation of lipid metabolism are the major effects of PFOS exposure in intestinal epithelium.
