Identifying TCDD-resistance genes via murine and rat comparative genomics and transcriptomics
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) mediates many of the toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo- p -dioxin (TCDD). However, the AHR alone is insufficient to explain the widely different outcomes among organisms. Attempts to identify unknown factor(s) have been confounded by genetic variability of model organisms. Here, we evaluated three transgenic mouse lines, each expressing a different rat AHR isoform (rWT, DEL, and INS), as well as C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice. We supplement these with whole-genome sequencing and transcriptomic analyses of the corresponding rat models: Long-Evans (L-E) and Han/Wistar (H/W) rats. These integrated multi-species genomic and transcriptomic data were used to identify genes associated with TCDD-response phenotypes. We identified several genes that show consistent transcriptional changes in both transgenic mice and rats. Hepatic Pxdc1 was significantly repressed by TCDD in C57BL/6, rWT mice, and in L-E rat. Three genes demonstrated different AHRE-1 (full) motif occurrences within their promoter regions: Cxxc5 had fewer occurrences in H/W, as compared with L-E; Sugp1 and Hgfac (in either L-E or H/W respectively). These genes also showed different patterns of mRNA abundance across strains. The AHR isoform explains much of the transcriptional variability: up to 50% of genes with altered mRNA abundance following TCDD exposure are associated with a single AHR isoform (30% and 10% unique to DEL and rWT respectively following 500 μg/kg TCDD). Genomic and transcriptomic evidence allowed identification of genes potentially involved in phenotypic outcomes: Pxdc1 had differential mRNA abundance by phenotype; Cxxc5 had altered AHR binding sites and differential mRNA abundance. Author Summary Environmental contaminants such as dioxins cause many toxic responses, anything from chloracne (common in humans) to death. These toxic responses are mostly regulated by the Ahr , a ligand-activated transcription factor with roles in drug metabolism and immune responses, however other contributing factors remain unclear. Studies are complicated by the underlying genetic heterogeneity of model organisms. Our team evaluated a number of mouse and rat models, including two strains of mouse, two strains of rat and three transgenic mouse lines which differ only at the Ahr locus, that present widely different sensitivities to the most potent dioxin: 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo- p -dioxin (TCDD). We identified a number of changes to gene expression that were associated with different toxic responses. We then contrasted these findings with results from whole-genome sequencing of the H/W and L-E rats and found some key genes, such as Cxxc5 and Mafb , which might contribute to TCDD toxicity. These transcriptomic and genomic datasets will provide a valuable resource for future studies into the mechanisms of dioxin toxicities.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
