Neoplastic-like transformation effect of single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes compared to asbestos on human lung small airway epithelial cells.

Wang L, Stueckle TA, Mishra A, Derk R, Meighan T, Castranova V, Rojanasakul Y.Author information HELD/PPRB, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health , Morgantown, WV 26505 , USA.AbstractAbstract Accumulating evidence indicates that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are biopersistent and can cause lung damage. With similar fibrous morphology and mode of exposure to asbestos, a known human carcinogen, growing concern has arisen for elevated risk of CNT-induced lung carcinogenesis; however, relatively little is known about the long-term carcinogenic effect of CNT. Neoplastic transformation is a key early event leading to carcinogenesis. We studied the ability of single- and multi-walled CNTs to induce neoplastic transformation of human lung epithelial cells compared to asbestos. Long-term (6-month) exposure of the cells to occupationally relevant concentrations of CNT in culture caused a neoplastic-like transformation phenotype as demonstrated by increased cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, invasion and angiogenesis. Whole-genome expression signature and protein expression analyses showed that single- and multi-walled CNTs shared similar signaling signatures which were distinct from asbestos. These results provide novel toxicogenomic information and suggest distinct particle-associated mechanisms of neoplasia promotion induced by CNTs and asbestos.

Cytochrome P450 2A13 mediates the neoplastic transformation of human bronchial epithelial cells at a low concentration of aflatoxin B1.

Zhang Z, Lu H, Huan F, Meghan C, Yang X, Wang Y, Wang X, Wang X, Wang SL.Author information Key Lab of Modern Toxicology of Ministry of Education, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, People's Republic of China; State Key Lab of Reproductive Medicine, Institute of Toxicology, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, People's Republic of China.AbstractCytochrome P450 2A13 (CYP2A13), mainly expressed in human respiratory tract, is highly efficient in the metabolic activation of aflatoxin (AF) B1 (AFB1) and is assumed to play a role in human lung tumorigenesis in airborne AFB1 exposure. To validate the assumption, we exposed human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells stably expressing CYP2A13 (B-2A13), CYP1A2 (B-1A2) and CYP2A6 (B-2A6) to 0.1-10 nM AFB1 for 30-50 passages. B-2A13 cells showed increased sensitivity to 0.1 nM AFB1-induced neoplastic transformation and the formation of tumors in nude mice were observed at passage 30 (P30) while it occurred at P50 B-1A2 cells. B-2A6, similar to vector control, showed no neoplastic transformation in this condition. Additionally, AFB1-DNA adducts and 8-OHdG significantly increased in transformed P40 B-2A13, in parallel with the upregulation of p-ATR, p-BRCA1, Mre11, Rad50 and Rad51. However, the apoptosis of P40 cells was near normal, while the expression of Bax, C-Caspase 3 and C-PARP increased passage-dependently. Inhibition of ATR (ATR siRNA or NU6027) reversely increased the apoptosis of P40 B-2A13 cells in parallel with the upregulation of Bax, C-Caspase 3 and C-PARP, suggesting that ATR plays an important role in maintaining cell survival via antiapoptosis. Additionally, activation of ATR was necessary to neoplastic transformation since blockage of ATR in P40 cells inhibited DNA damage repair response and anchorage-independent growth. Our data demonstrated that CYP2A13 played a critical role in AFB1-induced neoplastic transformation. ATR-mediated the dysfunction of apoptosis and DNA damage repair might be involved. These results help establish a linkage between airborne AFB1 and human respiratory carcinoma.

Electronic address: faniello@unicz.it.AbstractFerritin is best known as the key molecule in intracellular iron storage, and is involved in several metabolic processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation and neoplastic transformation. We have recently demonstrated that the shRNA silencing of the ferritin heavy subunit (FHC) in a melanoma cell line is accompanied by a consistent modification of gene expression pattern leading to a reduced potential in terms of proliferation, invasiveness, and adhesion ability of the silenced cells. In this study we sought to define the repertoire of genes whose expression might be affected by FHC during the hemin-induced differentiation of the erythromyeloid cell line K562. To this aim, gene expression profiling was performed in four different sets of cells: i) wild type K562; ii) sh-RNA FHC-silenced K562; iii) hemin-treated wild-type K562; and iv) hemin-treated FHC-silenced K562. Statistical analysis of the gene expression data, performed by two-factor ANOVA, identified three distinct classes of transcripts: a) Class 1, including 657 mRNAs whose expression is modified exclusively during hemin-induced differentiation of K562 cells, independently from the FHC relative amounts; b) Class 2, containing a set of 70 mRNAs which are consistently modified by hemin and FHC-silencing; and c) Class 3, including 128 transcripts modified by FHC-silencing but not by hemin. Our data indicate that FHC may function as a modulator of gene expression during erythroid differentiation and add new findings to the knowledge of the complex gene network modulated during erythroid differentiation.
