Project description:Today, many contaminants of emerging concern can be measured in waters across the United States, including the tributaries of the Great Lakes. However, just because the chemicals can be measured does not mean that they necessarily result in harm to fish and other aquatic species. Complicating risk assessment in these waters is the fact that aquatic species are encountering the chemicals as mixtures, which may have additive or synergistic risks that cannot be calculated using single chemical hazard and concentration-response information. We developed an in vitro effects-based screening approach to help us predict potential liver toxicity and cancer in aquatic organisms using water from specific Great Lakes tributaries: St. Louis River (MN), Bad River (WI), Fox River (WI), Manitowoc River (WI), Milwaukee River (WI), Indiana Harbor Canal (IN), St. Joseph River (MI), Grand River (MI), Clinton River (MI), River Rouge (MI), Maumee River (OH), Vermilion River (OH), Cuyahoga River (OH), Genesee River (NY), and Oswego River (NY). We exposed HepG2 cells for 48hrs to medium spiked with either field collected water (final concentration of environmental samples in the exposure medium were 75% of the field-collected water samples) or purified water. Using a deep neural network we clustered our collection sites from each tributary based on water chemistry. We also performed high throughput transcriptomics on the RNA obtained from the HepG2 cells. We used the transcriptomics data with our Bayesian Inferene for Sustance and Chemical Toxicity (BISCT) Bayesian Network for Steatosis to predict the probability of the field samples yielding a gene expression pattern consistent with predicting steatosis as an outcome. Surprisingly, we found that the probability of steatosis did not correspond to the surface water chemistry clustering. Our analysis suggests that chemical signatures are not informative in predicting biological effects. Furthermore, recent reports published after we obtained our samples, suggest that chemical levels in the sediment may be more relevant for predicting potential biological effects in the fish species developing tumors in the Great Lakes basin.

Project description:To assess the impact of surface water across the Hun River, several sampling sites located in the mainstream and the tributary were selected representative of pollution gradient and different pollution source. Male adult zebrafish were exposed to surface water from seven sites for 4 days. The obiectives of the study was to evaluate the ability of transcriptomic profiles exposed to surface water to determine the potential biological effects, to differentiate different pollution source, and to identify the toxic components.

Project description:The copper redhorse (Moxostoma hubbsi) is an endangered fish endemic to Quebec, Canada that is only known to spawn in two locations within the Richelieu River, a waterway draining a significant area of agricultural land. Accordingly, concerns have been raised over the impacts that agricultural pesticide contamination of spawning grounds and nursery habitats within the Richelieu River may have on early life stage copper redhorse. We assessed the effects of contaminants on early life stages of copper redhorse and river redhorse (Moxostoma carinatum), a closely related fish that shares the copper redhorse’s habitat and spawning grounds but is distributed more widely and is not yet listed as endangered. Copper and river redhorse embryos (1000 each) were exposed to either Richelieu River water in an in-situ flow-through system or to laboratory water used as a control. We assessed embryos hatching time, incidence of deformities and survival in copper and river redhorses. We then performed RNA sequencing on copper redhorse larvae to better understand changes due to river water exposure. We identified 341 compounds in the river water that were absent from lab water. Pesticide concentrations in the river peaked following rainfall during the spawning season. Embryos exposed to river water hatched prematurely at 63.0 and 59.2 cumulative degree days (CDD) compared to 65.4 and 69.9 CDD in laboratory water for river and copper redhorse, respectively. Copper redhorse exposed to river water also had a significantly lower survival rate than laboratory water (73% vs. 93%). RNA sequencing of copper redhorse revealed 18 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) following river water exposure. Eight of the upregulated DEGs (cd44, il1b, lamb3, lamc2, tgm5, orm1, saa, acod1) are linked to immune function and injury response and 7 of the downregulated DEGs (cpa2, ctrb, cela2a, ctrl, cpa1, prss1, cel) are involved with digestion and nutrient absorption. This study provided valuable data on the effects of anthropogenic contaminants present in the Richelieu River and increased our knowledge on the individual and mixture effects they have on an endangered fish.

Project description:This study began with 72 male 4-week-old BALB/c mice. The mice were split evenly into one of four cohorts: Control, River, Pine, and Road. The control mice were raised with standard corn cob bedding whereas the remaining mice were raised with clean bedding amended with 300 mL of one of three different types of soil. The soil exposure continued throughout the experiment, with 300 mL of new soil added with bi-weekly cage changes. The soils used to amend the cage bedding were previously characterized as having high (Pine), medium (River), and low (Road) diversity. The River and Pine soil were collected from Duke Forest and the Road soil was collected adjacent to Highway 15-501 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. All mice were given a standard diet and the cages were distributed reverse osmosis treated water through a centralized Lixit® system that was fed to each cage in parallel. After 32 days of standard rearing with amended soils, the mice were exposed via oropharyngeal aspiration to either live influenza A (PR8) virus or heat inactivated (HI) virus.

Project description:To assess the impact of surface water across the Hun River, several sampling sites located in the mainstream and the tributary were selected representative of pollution gradient and different pollution source. Human mesenchymal stem cells were exposed to organic extracts of surface water from six sites for 2 days. Microarrays were used to measure the gene expression. And the gene expression profiles were used to evaluate the ability of determine the potential biological effects, to differentiate different pollution source, and to identify the toxic components.

Project description:Koala Retrovirus-A is spreading through wild koalas in a north to south wave while transducing the germline, generating heritable genetic modifications as it transitions to an endogenous retrovirus. In animals south of Brisbane, we previously found that KoRV-A is expressed in the germline, but the resulting unspliced genomic transcripts are processed into sense strand piRNAs, post-transcriptionally suppressing replication. Here we show that this initial “innate” response is prevalent in animals south of the Brisbane River, but KoRV-A promoters are methylated and the virus is transcriptionally silenced in a subpopulation of animals north of the river. Transcriptional silencing correlates with capture of an anti-sense KoRV-A provirus by the 3’UTR of the MAP4K4 gene. The resulting hybrid transcripts are processed into anti-sense piRNAs, which transcriptionally silence established endogenous retroviruses in the germline. This provirus is sweeping through northern koalas, supporting a direct role in adaptive evolution of KoRV-A transcriptional silencing.
