Project description:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of hundreds of structurally similar chemicals ubiquitously present in our environment. They are created during the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as oil, wood, tobacco, and charbroiled meat. As such, human exposure to mixtures of PAHs can occur through consumption of PAH-containing foods and water, inhalation of polluted air, or dermal contact. Several PAHs have been classified as carcinogenic to humans or probably carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The mice in this study were exposed to a mixture of 4 PAHs, benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and chrysene. In the present study, we sought to determine the dose-dependent changes in gene expression upon oral exposure to this PAH mixture in the lung tissue. Adult male MutaTMMouse were exposed to three doses of the mixture of 4 PAHs or vehicle control (olive oil) for 28 days and sacrificed three days after the final exposure.

Project description:Bioavailability of electron acceptors is probably the most limiting factor in the restoration of anoxic, contaminated environments. The oxidation of contaminants such as aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly in aquifers, often depends on the reduction of ferric iron or sulphate. We have previously detected a highly active fringe zone beneath a toluene plume at a tar-oil contaminated aquifer in Germany, where a specialized community of contaminant degraders co-dominated by Desulfobulbaceae and Geobacteraceae had established. Although on-site geochemistry links degradation to sulphidogenic processes, dominating catabolic (benzylsuccinate synthase alpha-subunit, bssA) genes detected in situ appeared more related to those of Geobacter spp. Therefore, a stable isotope probing (SIP) incubation of sediment samples with 13C7-toluene and comparative electron acceptor amendment was performed. We introduce pyrosequencing of templates from SIP microcosms as a powerful new strategy in SIP gradient interpretation (Pyro-SIP). Our results reveal the central role of Desulfobulbaceae for sulphidogenic toluene degradation in situ, and affiliate the detected bssA genes to this lineage. This, and the absence of 13C-labelled DNA of Geobacter spp. in SIP gradients preclude their relevance as toluene degraders in situ. In contrast, Betaproteobacteria related to Georgfuchsia spp. became labelled under iron-reducing conditions. Furthermore, secondary toluene degraders belonging to the Peptococcaceae detected in both treatments suggest the possibility of functional redundancy amongst anaerobic toluene degraders on site. 2 samples examined from the different electron-acceptors (sulphate or ferric iron) incubates at the time point of maximal toluene degradation.

Project description:Assessing the potential carcinogenicity of human toxins represents an ongoing challenge. Chronic rodent bioassays predict human cancer risk with limited reliability, and are expensive and time-consuming. To identify alternative prediction methods, we evaluated a transcriptomics-based human in vitro model to classify carcinogens by their modes of action. The aim of this study was to determine the transcriptomic response and identify specific molecular signatures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be used as predictors of carcinogenicity of environmental toxins in human in vitro systems. We found that characteristic molecular signatures facilitate identification and prediction of carcinogens. To evaluate the change in gene expression levels, human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells were exposed to nine different PAHs (benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, 3-methylcholanthrene, naphthalene, chrysene, phenanthrene, benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, and indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene) for 48 h. Gene expression analysis was conducted using a 44K whole human genome microarray (Agilent Technologies, USA).

Project description:Several environmental pollutants, especially organic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potent carcinogenic chemicals. Exposure of different fish species to PAHs causes a high prevalence and variety of tumor lesions. To identify and compare the mode of action (MOA) of different model carcinogenic PAHs, a transcriptomic study was carried out in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) after exposure to 0.3 mg/l of benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) or to 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), both of them dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; final concentration of 0.01%). Samples for microarray analysis were taken after 1 and 2 weeks of exposure. The changes in the mRNA transcription levels over the corresponding controls were compared among treatments. Correspondence analysis was able to discriminate among treatments; factor 1 separated both sampling times while factor 2 separated the compounds. A total number of 3043 transcripts was shown to be differentially regulated in at least one of the treatments. B(a)P treatment produced regulation of sequences related to GO categories associated to cell cycle and cell division whereas DMBA regulated GO terms related to oxidation/reduction responses, responses to chemicals and response to bacterium. Both compounds were able to alter many xenobiotic metabolism related genes, especially upregulating the transcription of phase I metabolism-related genes such as cytochrome P450 members (cyp1a or cyp1b), and many cancer-related genes such as the Jun B proto-oncogene (junb). Overall, these results indicated that the exposure to both PAHs was able to differentially alter the transcription levels of genes involved in both the detoxification metabolism and the cell-cycle control, including different tumor-supressor genes and oncogens. These alterations have been often related to the appearance of tumor lesions.

Project description:Heterobifunctional proteolysis-targeting chimeric compounds leverage the activity of E3 ligases to induce degradation of target oncoproteins and exhibit potent preclinical antitumor activity. To dissect the mechanisms regulating tumor cell sensitivity to different classes of pharmacological "degraders" of oncoproteins, we performed genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing studies. We observed that myeloma cell resistance to "degraders" of different targets (BET bromodomain proteins, CDK9) and operating through CRBN (degronimids) or VHL is primarily mediated by prevention of, rather than adaptation to, breakdown of the target oncoprotein; involves loss-of-function for the cognate E3 ligase or interactors/regulators of the respective cullin-RING ligase (CRL) complex. The substantial gene-level differences for CRBN- vs. VHL-based degraders explains mechanistically the lack of cross-resistance for degraders targeting the same protein via different E3 ligase/CRLs.
