Project description:Aristolochic acid (AA) is an active component of herbal drugs derived from the Aristolochia species that have been used for medicinal purposes since antiquity. However, AA is genotoxic and induces tumors in animals and humans. AA induces mutations and tumors in the kidney but solely mutations in the liver. To evaluate whether miRNAs could indicate AA’s tissue-specific carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, we first conducted microarray analysis of miRNA expression in kidneys and livers of rats treated with a carcinogenic dose of AA. Then, miR-21, a biomarker for carcinogenicity, and miR-34a, a biomarker for mutagenicity, the two miRNAs whose expressions were most altered, were evaluated for their expression in the kidney (the AA’s mutagenic and carcinogenic target tissue), liver (the AA’s mutagenic target tissue), and testis, the non-target tissue where neither tumors nor mutation induction was found in previous studies and in this study. Genomic analysis of miRNA expression for kidney and liver samples showed that miRNA expression was globally changed by the treatment. Nineteen miRNAs were significantly dysregulated by the treatment in the kidney. Most of these miRNAs are related to carcinogenesis. Only one miRNA, miR-34a, was differentially expressed in the liver. Expression of miR-21 was induced in the kidney by AA treatment in a dose-dependent manner while no changes occurred in the liver or testis, indicating that the kidney is the carcinogenic target. miR-34a was dose-dependently up-regulated in the kidneys and livers of rats treated with AA, but not in the testis, suggesting that the kidney and liver are mutagenic target tissues, but the testis is not. Our results demonstrate that miRNA profiles can reflect the AA’s carcinogenicity in a tissue-specific manner while specific miRNAs can signify the target tissues for carcinogenicity or mutagenicity of AA.

Project description:Expression of microRNAs in rat kidney treated with a carcinogenic dose of Aristolochic Acid
| PRJNA236237 | ENA
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in carcinogenesis by regulating the protein translation from their targeted messenger RNAs (mRNA). Aristolochic Acid (AA) is a potent carcinogen that can induce kidney tumors in both human and experimental animals. Although the expression and roles of miRNAs have been extensively studied in cancer tissues or tissues treated by carcinogens, it is still unclear how the three levels of gene expression, including miRNA, mRNA and protein, are regulated and coordinated during the early stage of carcinogenesis. Here, we treated rats with 10 mg/kg AA or vehicle control for 12 weeks and the kidney tissues were quickly isolated and frozen immediately after the treatment. Eight kidney samples (4 for the treatment and 4 for the control) were used for analyzing miRNA and mRNA expressions with deep sequencing, and protein expressions with proteomics. MiRNA expressions were significantly changed by AA treatment. The treated samples were well separated from the control samples in both principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). Quantitative measurements of six miRNAs using TaqMan real-time PCR were consistent with the deep sequencing results in terms of both direction and magnitude of gene expression change. Sixty-three miRNAs (adjusted p value < 0.05 and fold change > 1.5), 6,794 mRNAs (adjusted p value < 0.05 and fold change > 2.0), and 800 proteins (fold change > 2.0) were significantly altered by AA treatment. By combining the results of a computational target predicting algorithm, and the mRNA and protein expression data, 143 genes were found by the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs). The DEM-targeted genes are mainly related to cancer, cell growth, which reflects the carcinogenic processes in the AA-treated rat kidneys. Groups of four 6 week-old male Big Blue rats were treated with AA as its sodium salt at 10.0 mg/kg body weight by gavage (4 ml/kg body weight) 5 times a week for 12 weeks. The rats that were treated with 0.9% sodium chloride on the same schedule were used as control. microRNAs were isolated from rat kidneys and subject to next-generation sequencing to determine the expression profile.

Project description:MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate a variety of biological processes. In the last version of the miRBase database (Release 17), 720 mouse microRNAs are accompanied by only 408 rat microRNAs. Given the importance of rat as a model organism, we used next generation sequencing and microarray technologies to discover novel microRNAs in rat kidneys. Four male, 6-week-old Big Blue rats were treated with 10.0 mg/kg aristolochic acid(AA) 5 times a week for 12 weeks, four untreated rats as control. The animals were sacrificed 1 day after the last treatment and total RNA were isolated. All eight rat samples were used to deep sequencing analyses (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Microarray Core Facility), while 6 samples (3 AA-treated and 3 control) were used to custom vertebrate microRNA microarray analysis (LC Sciences). We used the miRanalyzer standalone version for the prediction of novel microRNAs and microRNA microarray to confirm novel microRNAs.

Project description:Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) is a kidney injury syndrome caused by aristolochic acids exposure, with unknown mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Our study used label-free quantitative proteomics to delineate renal protein profiles and identify key proteins after exposure to different doses of aristolochic acid I (AAI). Male C57BL/6 mice received AAI (1.25 mg/kg/d, 2.5 mg/kg/d, or 5 mg/kg/d) or vehicle for 5 days. The results showed that AAI induced dose-dependent nephrotoxicity. Differences in renal protein profiles between the control and AAI groups increased with AAI dose. Comparing the control with the low-, medium-, and high-dose AAI groups, we found 58, 210, and 271 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), respectively. Furthermore, protein-protein interaction network analysis identified acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 3 (Acsm3), cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 (Cyp2e1), microsomal glutathione S-transferase 1 (Mgst1), and fetuin B (Fetub) as the key proteins. Proteomics revealed that AAI decreased Acsm3 and Cyp2e1 while increasing Mgst1 and Fetub expression in mice kidneys, which was further confirmed by Western blotting. Collectively, in AAI-induced nephrotoxicity, renal protein profiles were dysregulated and exacerbated with increasing AAI dose. Acsm3, Cyp2e1, Mgst1, and Fetub may be the potential therapeutic targets for AAN.

Project description:RNA-Seq has been increasingly used for the quantification and characterization of transcriptomes. The ongoing development of the technology promises the more accurate measurement of gene expression. However, its benefits over widely accepted microarray technologies have not been adequately assessed, especially in toxicogenomics studies. The goal of this study is to enhance the scientific community's understanding of the advantages and challenges of RNA-Seq in the quantification of gene expression by comparing analysis results from RNA-Seq and microarray data on a toxicogenomics study. A typical toxicogenomics study design was used to compare the performance of an RNA-Seq approach (Illumina Genome Analyzer II) to a microarray-based approach (Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 arrays) for detecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the kidneys of rats treated with aristolochic acid (AA), a carcinogenic and nephrotoxic chemical most notably used for weight loss. We studied the comparability of the RNA-Seq and microarray data in terms of absolute gene expression, gene expression patterns, differentially expressed genes, and biological interpretation. We found that RNA-Seq was more sensitive in detecting genes with low expression levels, while similar gene expression patterns were observed for both platforms. Moreover, although the overlap of the DEGs was only 40-50%, the biological interpretation was largely consistent between the RNA-Seq and microarray data. RNA-Seq maintained a consistent biological interpretation with time-tested microarray platforms while generating more sensitive results. However, there is clearly a need for future investigations to better understand the advantages and limitations of RNA-Seq in toxicogenomics studies and environmental health research. Eight rats were randomly divided into two groups: four rats were administered with aristolochic acid (AA), and four rats were treated with the control vehicle. RNA samples were extracted from the kidney tissue of each rat and were independently assayed with both the NGS (Illumina Genome Analyzer II) and the microarray (Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0) platforms. The RNA-Seq and microarray data were compared in terms of absolute gene expression, gene expression patterns, differentially expressed genes, and biological interpretation.

Project description:In this study we have examined the effect of sub-cytotoxic exposure to aristolochic acids (1.65µM) at 6h, 24h and 72h on the whole-genome expression profile in a rat proximal renal tubule cell line (NRK-52E). We used microarrays to detail the mechanism of toxicity and possibly carcinogenicity of aristolochic acids in rat renal proximal cells.

Project description:Exposure to aristolochic acid (AA) is linked to kidney disease and urothelial cancer in humans. The major carcinogenic component of the AA plant extract is aristolochic acid I (AAI). The transcription factor p53 acts as a tumour suppressor and is frequently mutated in AA-induced tumours. Using a mouse model, we previously showed that Trp53 genotype impacts on AAI-induced nephrotoxicity in vivo (i.e. p53 protects from AAI-induced renal proximal tubular injury), but the underlying mechanism(s) involved remain to be further explored. In the present study, we investigated the impact of p53 on AAI-induced gene expression in vivo by treating Trp53(+/+), Trp53(+/-) and Trp53(-/-) mice with 3.5 mg/kg body weight (bw) AAI daily for 6 days. The Clariom™ S Assay microarray was used to elucidate gene expression profiles in mouse kidneys after AAI treatment in order to identify potential mechanisms by which AAI drives renal injury in Trp53(-/-) kidneys. Principle component analysis and hierarchical clustering in Qlucore Omics Explorer showed that gene expression in AAI-exposed Trp53(+/+), Trp53(+/-) and Trp53(-/-) kidneys is treatment-dependent. However, gene expression profiles did not segregate in a clear-cut manner according to Trp53 genotype, hence further investigations were performed by pathway analysis with MetaCore™. Several pathways, such as those related to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, transcription of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 targets, renal injury and secretion of xenobiotics were significantly altered to varying degrees for AAI-exposed kidneys. The top ten up-regulated genes included cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1a (Cdkn1a), a mediator of cell cycle arrest; and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (Ngal), which has been shown to play a role in nephritis by promoting inflammation and apoptosis. Members of the solute carrier (Slc) family (i.e. Slc22a2, Slc22a6, Slc22a7, Slc22a8) were amongst the top ten down-regulated genes. Pathway analysis also identified genes that are uniquely affected by AAI treatment in Trp53(+/+), Trp53(+/-) and Trp53(-/-) kidneys. Apoptotic pathways were modulated in Trp53(+/+) kidneys; whereas oncogenic and pro-survival pathways were significantly altered for Trp53(+/-) and Trp53(-/-) kidneys, respectively. Microarray gene expression analysis identified significant toxicogenomic responses to AAI that give novel insights into its mechanism of nephrotoxicity. Alterations of biological processes by AAI in Trp53(+/+), Trp53(+/-) and Trp53(-/-) kidneys could explain the mechanisms by which p53 protects from or p53 loss drives AAI-induced renal injury in vivo.

Project description:In this study we have examined the effect of sub-cytotoxic exposure to aristolochic acids (1.65µM) at 6h, 24h and 72h on the whole-genome expression profile in a rat proximal renal tubule cell line (NRK-52E). We used microarrays to detail the mechanism of toxicity and possibly carcinogenicity of aristolochic acids in rat renal proximal cells. NRK-52E cells were cultured to confluence on 6-well plates. Cells were then exposed to aristolochic acid dissolved in DMSO (0.1%) at the IC10 concentration at 72h (1.65 ?M) or DMSO only as control. After 6h, 24h and 72h the medium was removed and RNA was extracted from the cells. Three studies were conducted at each time point.
