We provide here the alterations in gene expression profiles of HepaRG cells, a validated model for cellular steatosis, exposed to three concentration of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 126, one of the most potent chemical inducing NAFLD. Additionnally, three concentration of the pesticide active ingredient glyphosate were tested. This ultimately suggested sensitive biomarkers of exposure. A gene ontology analysis showed hallmarks of an activation of the AhR receptor by dioxin-like compounds. Our study provides grounds for the development of molecular signatures of fatty liver diseases to rapidly assess toxic effects of chemicals in the HepaRG cell line. Overall design: Differentiated HepaRGTM cells (HPR 116) were purchased from Biopredic International. The cells were kept in the general purpose medium until day 8, when the culture becomes well organized and includes well-delineated trabeculae and many canaliculi-like structures. Three concentrations of the PCB were then tested from day 8 to day 14, in order to cover a wide range of biological effects, starting from low environmental exposures (100 pM) to high concentrations of (1 uM), with an intermediate concentration (10 nM). Three concentrations of glyphosate, or one concentration of the Roundup herbicide (Grand Travaux +) were also tested in the same system.

View SamplesWe provide here the alterations in gene expression profiles of HepaRG cells, a validated model for cellular steatosis, exposed to three concentration of quizalofop-p-ethyl, isoxaflutole and mesotrione Overall design: Differentiated HepaRGTM cells (HPR 116) were purchased from Biopredic International. The cells were kept in the general purpose medium until day 8, when the culture becomes well organized and includes well-delineated trabeculae and many canaliculi-like structures. Three concentrations of the different pesticide active ingredients (quizalofop-p-ethyl, isoxaflutole and mesotrione ) were then tested from day 8 to day 14. In order to ensure coverage of a wide range of potential biological effects, three concentrations of each active principle were tested; a concentration representative of low environmental exposure (0.1 uM), an intermediate concentration (10 uM) and a high concentration (1000 uM).

View SamplesWe provide here the alterations in gene expression profiles of 3T3-L1 cells, a validated model for adipogenesis, exposed to quizalofop-p-ethyl for 6h, 24h and 12 days. Overall design: Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals is a risk factor for obesity. The most commonly used pesticide active ingredients have never been tested in an adipogenesis assay. We tested for the first time the lipid accumulation induced by glyphosate, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dicamba, mesotrione, isoxaflutole and quizalofop-p-ethyl (QpE) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Only QpE caused triglyceride accumulation from a concentration of 1 µM. We thus conducted an in-depth investigation of molecular mechanisms responsible for the adipogenic effects of quizalopfop-p-ethyl by an RNA-seq analysis.

View SamplesGlyphosate-based herbicides are the major pesticides used worldwide. There is an intense debate on the estrogenic effects of their ingredients. We have compared the estrogenic effects of glyphosate (the active principle), polyethoxylated tallowamine (a co-formulant), and a commercial formulations containing different co-formulants to those of estradiol and bisphenol A in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. The gene expression profiles were determined using the Affymetrix Human Transcriptome 2.0 Array.

View SamplesWe have reported more than a dozen microenvironmental factors whose signaling must be integrated in order to effect an organized, functional tissue morphology. In order to identify underlying commonalities in gene transcription associated with the phenotype, we compared the gene expression of organized and disorganized epithelial cells of the HMT-3522 breast cancer progression series: the non-malignant S1 cells that form polarized spheres (acini), the malignant T4-2 cells that form large tumor-like clusters, and the phenotypically reverted T4-2 cells that polarize as a result of correction of the microenvironmental signaling.

View SamplesThis study was designed to provide a genome-wide analysis of the effects of luteinizing hormone (LH) ablation/replacement versus steroid ablation/replacement on gene expression in the developed corpus luteum (CL) in primates during the menstrual cycle. Naturally cycling, female rhesus monkeys were left untreated (Control; n = 4) or received one of the following treatments for three days beginning on Day 9 of the luteal phase: daily injection of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist (Antide; n = 5), Antide + recombinant human LH (A+LH; n = 4), Antide + LH + the 3b-HSD antagonist Trilostane (A+LH+TRL; n = 4), and Antide + LH + TRL + progesterone replacement with a synthetic progestin R5020 (A+LH+TRL+ R5020; n = 5). On Day 12 of the luteal phase, CL were removed and samples of RNA from individual CL were fluorescently labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix rhesus macaque total genome microarrays. The greatest number of altered transcripts was associated with the ablation/replacement of LH, while ablation/replacement of progestin affected fewer transcripts. Replacement of LH during Antide treatment restored expression of most transcripts to control levels. Real-time PCR validation of a subset of transcripts revealed that most expression patterns were similar between microarray and real-time PCR. Analysis of protein levels were subsequently determined for 2 of the transcripts differentially expressed by real-time PCR. This is the first genome-wide analysis of LH and steroid regulation of gene transcription in the developed primate CL. Further analysis of novel transcripts identified in this data set can clarify the relative role for LH and steroids in CL maintenance and luteolysis.

View SamplesTo obtain a genomic view of hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (HNF-4) in the regulation of the inflammatory response, microarray analysis was used to probe the expression profile of an inflammatory response induced by cytokines in a model of knock-down HNF-4 HepG2 cells. The results indicate an extensive role for HNF-4 plays in the regulation of a large number of the liver-specific genes. Majority of genes (71%) affected by cytokine treatment are also affected by HNF-4 knock-down. This significant overlap suggests that HNF-4 may play a role in regulating the cytokine-induced inflammatory response.

View SamplesTo explore chorionic gonadotropin (CG)-regulated gene expression in the primate corpus luteum (CL), adult female rhesus macaques were treated with a model of simulated early pregnancy (SEP). Total RNA was isolated from individual CL and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Rhesus Macaque Genome Arrays The level of 1192 transcripts changed expression > 2-fold (one-way ANOVA, FDR correction; P<0.05) during SEP when compared to Day 10 untreated controls, and the majority of changes occurred between Days 10 and 12 of SEP. To compare transcript levels between SEP rescued and regressing CL, previously banked rhesus GeneChip array data from the mid- to late and very late luteal phase were analyzed with time-matched intervals in SEP. Comparing RMA-normalized transcripts from the natural cycle with those from luteal rescue revealed 7677 transcripts changing in expression pattern >2 fold (one-way ANOVA, FDR correction; P<0.05) between the two groups. Clustering of samples revealed that the SEP samples possessed the most related transcript expression profiles. Regressed CL (days 18-19, around menses) were the most unlike all other CL. The most affected KEGG pathway was Steroid Biosynthesis, and most significantly absent pathways following SEP treatment includes groups of genes whose products promote cell-death. By further comparing the genome-wide changes in luteal gene expression during rescue in SEP, with those in CL during luteolysis in the natural menstrual cycle, it is possible to identify key regulatory pathways promoting fertility.
