Project description:The hormonal contraceptive medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is associated with increased risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), via incompletely understood mechanisms. Increased diversity in the vaginal microbiota modulates genital inflammation and is associated with increased HIV-1 acquisition. However, the effect of MPA on diversity of the vaginal microbiota is relatively unknown. In a cohort of female Kenyan sex workers, negative for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), with Nugent scores <7 (N=58 of 370 screened), MPA correlated with significantly increased diversity of the vaginal microbiota as assessed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. MPA was also significantly associated with decreased levels of estrogen in the plasma, and low vaginal glycogen and α-amylase, factors implicated in vaginal colonization by lactobacilli, bacteria that are believed to protect against STIs. In a humanized mouse model, MPA treatment was associated with low serum estrogen, low glycogen and enhanced HIV-1 susceptibility. The mechanism by which the MPA mediated changes in the vaginal microbiota may contribute to HIV-1 susceptibility in humans appears to be independent of inflammatory cytokines and/or activated T cells. Altogether, these results suggest MPA-induced hypo-estrogenism may alter key metabolic components that are necessary for vaginal colonization by certain bacterial species including lactobacilli, and allow for greater bacterial diversity in the vaginal microbiota.

Project description:Silver nanoparticles cause toxicity in exposed organisms and are an environmental health concern. The mechanisms of silver nanoparticle toxicity, however, remain unclear. We examined the effects of exposure to silver in nano-, bulk- and ionic forms on zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) using a Next Generation Sequencing approach in an Illumina platform (High-Throughput SuperSAGE). Significant alterations in gene expression were found for all treatments and many of the gene pathways affected, most notably those associated with oxidative phosphorylation and protein synthesis, overlapped strongly between the three treatments indicating similar mechanisms of toxicity for the three forms of silver studied. Changes in oxidative phosphorylation indicated a down-regulation of this pathway at 24h of exposure, but with a recovery at 48h. This finding was consistent with a dose-dependent decrease in oxygen consumption at 24h, but not at 48h, following exposure to silver ions. Overall, our data provide support for the hypothesis that the toxicity caused by silver nanoparticles is principally associated with bioavailable silver ions in exposed zebrafish embryos. These findings are important in the evaluation of the risk that silver particles may pose to exposed vertebrate organisms. mRNA profiles of whole zebrafish embryos at 24 and 48 hours post-fertilisation (hpf) exposed to silver in nano, bulk and ionic forms were generated by deep sequencing using HT-SuperSAGE (Illumina GA2).

Project description:Purpose: Analyze changes in the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana in response to sublethal concentrations of silver nanoparticles in order to gain insight into phytotoxicity caused by these nanomaterials. Methods: mRNA was extracted from non-treated and silver nanoparticle-treated 14-day old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings using the RNAeasy extraction kit (Qiagen). RNA-seq libraries (3 rep/treatment and 3 reps/control) constructed with the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation kit (Illumina) were single-end sequenced (100-nt read length) on an Illumina HiSeq2500 system. Reads were mapped to the A. thaliana TAIR10 reference genome sequence and transcript levels were analyzed using the softare CLC Genomics Workbench (version 7.0.40, Qiagen). Results: Chronic exposure of A. thaliana plants to silver nanoparticles caused a change in abundance of transcripts involved in cell wall synhtesis and response to oxidative and biotic stress-related genes. Conclusions: While exposure to silver nanoparticle lead to gene expression changes, the reduction in chlorophyll concentration and carbon assimilation rate measured in exposed plants cannot be attributed to a shift in photosynthesis-related gene regulation.

Project description:The toxicity of silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles is hypothesised to be mediated by dissolved metal ions and cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are hypothesised to induce toxicity specifically by oxidative stress dependant on their surface redox state. To test these hypotheses, RNAseq was applied to characterise the molecular responses of cells to metal nanoparticle and metal ion exposures. The human epithelial lung carcinoma cell line A549 was exposed to different CeO2 NPs with different surface charges, micron-sized and nano-sized silver particles and silver ions, micron-sized and nano-sized zinc oxide particles and zinc ions, or control conditions, for 1 hour, 6 hours and 24 hours. Concentrations were the lower of either EC20 or 128 micrograms/mL. Transcriptional responses were characterised by RNAseq transcriptomics using an Illumina HiSeq2500 .

Project description:RNA-Seq analysis was used for deep sequencing of transcriptome to detected molecular mechanisms of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and distinguish the effects of Arabidopsis thaliana exposure to AgNPs and Ag+.We identified 626 and 767 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) influenced by AgNPs and Ag+ respectively.302 genes were specifically regulated by the AgNPs treatment indicates that the nanoparticle-specific effects.This study provide a valuable resource for the discovery of genes related to special toxicity mechanism of AgNPs.

Project description:Background: The uncontrolled and widespread use of (nano)silver compounds has led to the increased release of these compounds into the environment, raising concerns about their negative impact on ecosystems. Concomitantly, silver resistance determinants are widely spread among environmental and clinically relevant bacteria although the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Results: In this study, we show that Cupriavidus metallidurans is able to adapt to toxic silver concentrations and explicate the genetic circuit responsible for this adaptation. None of the known silver resistant determinants present in C. metallidurans are involved in the adapted response. Instead, increased silver resistance is achieved by the concerted action of a two-component system AgrR-AgrS, previously not associated with metal resistance, and two intrinsically disordered proteins PrsQ1 and PrsQ2. Both belong to an unique group of small, uncharacterized, extracellular proteins restricted to the genera Cupriavidus and Ralstonia. This system seems to be much more efficient as it gives C. metallidurans the ability to withstand much higher silver concentrations. The latter could be facilitated by the accumulation of silver ions and the formation of silver nanoparticles. Conclusions: Detailed knowledge and exploitation of this protein family could result in novel routes for metal nanoparticle formation and metal processing relevant for biotechnical and biomedical applications.

Project description:From the result of the gene expression analyses of human hepatoma cell line, HepG2, a number of genes associated with cell proliferation and DNA repair were distinctively up-regulated by Ag-nanoparticle exposure, suggesting that Ag-nanoparticles might stimulate cell proliferation and DNA damage, which are considered to be mechanisms playing an important role for carcinogenesis and tumor progression. The inductions of these genes involved in cell proliferation were also observed in PS-nanoparticles and Ag2CO3-exposed cells. In addition, the inductions of DNA repair-associated genes were also observed in Ag2CO3-exposure. These results suggest that both “nanoshape” and “silver” can cause the inductions of these gene expression patterns. Furthermore, cysteine, a strong ionic silver ligand partially abolished these gene expressions induced by silver nanoparticles. Ionic silver sourced from Ag-nanoparticles could not fully explain these gene expressions.
