Project description:To understand molecular mechanisms of the joint effects of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), both widely used ordnance compounds, we constructed a microarray consisting of 4,032 cDNA isolated from the earthworm Eisenia fetida using the suppressive subtractive hybridization technique. Worms were exposed to TNT-, RDX-, or TNT+RDX-spiked soil for 28 days (TNT 50 mg/kg, RDX 30 mg/kg). Keywords: Combined toxicity of TNT and RDX to earthworm (Eisenia fetida)

Project description:RDX (Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) is a synthetic, high-impact, relatively stable explosive that has been in use since WWII. Exposure to RDX can occur either occupationally or through ordnance that lays unexploded on training ranges. The toxicology of RDX is dominated by acute tonic-clonic seizures at high doses, which remit when exposure is removed and internal RDX levels decrease. Sub-chronic studies have revealed few other toxic effects. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a single oral dose of RDX on global gene expression in the mammalian brain and liver, using a rodent model. Keywords: time course, dose response

Project description:The genome sequence of psychrophilic Shewanella sediminis revealed the presence of five putative reductive dehalogenases (Rdhs). We found that cell extracts of pyruvate/fumarate-grown S. sediminis cells catalysed reduced methyl viologen-dependent reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to trichloroethene (TCE) at a specific activity of approximately 1 nmol TCE min(-1) (mg protein)(-1). Dechlorination of PCE followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with an apparent Km of 120 ?M PCE. No PCE dechlorination was observed with heat-denatured extract or when cyanocobalamin was omitted from the growth medium; however, the presence of PCE in the growth medium increased PCE transformation rates. Analysis of mutants carrying in-frame deletions of all five Rdhs encoding genes showed that only deletion of Ssed_3769 resulted in the loss of PCE dechlorination activity suggesting that Ssed_3769 is a functional Rdh. This is the first study to show reductive dechlorination activity of PCE in a sediment-dwelling Shewanella species that may be important for linking the flux of organohalogens to organic carbon via reductive dehalogenation in marine sediments.

Project description:Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a persistent nitramine explosive with long-lasting properties. Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 has been discovered as one of the microorganisms capable of RDX degradation. Despite respectable studies on Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22, the proteins participating in RDX degradation (Oxidoreductase and Cytochrome P450) in the strain remain to be fragments. In this study, complete genome of Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 was sequenced and analyzed, and the entire sequences of the two genes encoding Oxidoreductase and Cytochrome P450 in Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 were predicted, which were validated through proteomic data. Besides, despite the identification of certain chemical substances as proposed characterized degradation intermediates of RDX, few studies have investigated the physiological changes and metabolic pathways occurring within Rhodococcus sp. cells when treated with RDX, particularly through the use of mass spectrometry-based omics. Hence, proteomics and metabolomics of Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 were performed and analyzed with the presence or absence of RDX in the medium. A total of 3186 protein groups were identified and quantified between the two groups, with 117 proteins being significantly differentially expressed proteins. A total of 1056 metabolites were identified after merging positive and negative ion modes, among which 131 metabolites were significantly differential. Through the combined analysis of differential proteomics and metabolomics, several KEGG pathways, including two-component system, ABC transporters, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, purine metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, and phosphotransferase system (PTS) were found to be significantly enriched. We expect that our investigation will expand the acquaintance of Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22, and the knowledge of microbial degradation.

Experiment Overall Design: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single, oral, non-seizure inducing dose of either 3 or 18 mg/kg RDX in a gel capsule. Rats were euthanized at times 0, 4, 24, and 48 hours. RNA purified from brain cortex or liver was hybridized to Affymetrix rat 230.2 arrays.

Project description:Munitions constituents (MCs) including hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and TNT derivatives are recognized to elicit aberrant neuromuscular responses in many species. The onset of seizures resulting in death was observed in the avian model Northern bobwhite after oral dosing with RDX beginning at 8 mg/kg/day in subacute (14 days) exposures, whereas affective doses of the TNT derivative, 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), caused gastrointestinal impacts, lethargy, and emaciation in subacute and subchronic (60 days) exposures. To assess and contrast the potential neurotoxicogenomic effects of these MCs, a Northern bobwhite microarray was developed consisting of 4119 complementary DNA (cDNA) features enriched for differentially-expressed brain transcripts from exposures to RDX and 2,6-DNT. RDX affected hundreds of genes in brain tissue, whereas 2,6-DNT affected few (≤ 17), indicating that 2,6-DNT exposure had relatively little impact on the brain in comparison to RDX. Birds exhibiting RDX-induced seizures accumulated over 20× more RDX in brain tissues in comparison to non-seizing birds even within a common dose. In parallel, expression patterns were unrelated among seizing and non-seizing birds exposed to equivalent RDX doses. In birds experiencing seizures, genes related to neuronal electrophysiology and signal transduction were significantly affected. Comparative toxicology revealed strong similarity in acute exposure effects between RDX and the organochlorine insecticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) regarding both molecular mechanisms and putative mode of action. In a manner similar to DDT, we hypothesize that RDX elicits seizures by inhibition of neuronal cell repolarization postaction potential leading to heightened neuronal excitability and seizures facilitated by multiple molecular mechanisms.
