Humans are not susceptible to peroxisome proliferation and are thought to be refractory to carcinogenesis by PFOA and other PPs. However, previous studies with rainbow trout have shown that they are also insensitive to peroxisome proliferation by the PP, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), but are still susceptible to enhanced hepatocarcinogenesis after chronic exposure. In this study, we determined whether PFOA is also a tumor promotor in trout and then examined hepatic gene expression profiles to further investigate possible mechanisms of action. Trout were initiated as fry to the hepatocarcinogen, aflatoxin B1, and then fed 200-1800 ppm PFOA in the diet for 30 weeks. Two structurally diverse PPs, clofibrate (CLOF) and DHEA, were included for comparison. Hepatic gene expression profiles were subsequently examined in animals exposed to similar doses of PFOA, DHEA and CLOF along with 5 ppm 17β-estradiol (E2; a known tumor promotor) in the diet. PFOA (1800 ppm) and DHEA treatments resulted in enhanced liver tumor incidence and multiplicity while CLOF showed no effect. Carcinogenesis seemed independent of peroxisome proliferation as no induction of peroxisomal β-oxidation and catalase activity were observed. Alternately, plasma VTG was elevated in fish fed PFOA and DHEA suggesting that estrogenic mechanisms may play a role. Both tumor promotors, PFOA and DHEA, resulted in strong correlation of transcriptional profiles with E2 by Pearson correlation (R=0.81 and 0.78, respectively). In comparison, CLOF regulated no genes in common with E2. Overall, these data suggest that the tumor promoting activities of DHEA and PFOA in trout are independent of peroxisome proliferation and may involve estrogenic mechanisms. Juvenile trout, 12-18 months old, were fed experimental diets containing 500 or 1800 ppm PFOA, 1800 ppm CLOF, 750 ppm DHEA, 5 ppm E2 or 0.15 % dimethyl sulfoxide vehicle control for 14 days. Liver samples were collected for microarray analysis. Hybridizations were performed using standard reference design with dye-swapping. For each sample, equal amounts of RNA (µg) were pooled from five fish per tank for every treatment (n=3 biological replicates per treatment). cDNA from two of the three biological replicates was dye-swapped and hybridized to two slides as technical replicates (5 arrays per treatment).

Briefly, 7 ug total RNA were reverse-transcribed with Superscript II (Invitrogen) using the Genisphere oligo d(T) primer containing a capture sequence for the Cy3 or Cy5 labelling reagents. Each reaction was spiked with a range of concentrations (0.0049 – 2.5 ng/ul) of the ten SpotReport Alien Oligo controls (Stratagene). Each cDNA sample containing the capture sequence for the Cy3 or Cy5 label was combined with equal amounts of reference cDNA (pooled from sham-initiated controls) containing the capture sequence for the opposite label. cDNA from two of the three biological replicates were dye-swapped and hybridized to two slides as technical replicates. cDNA from the reference sample was also hybridized to dye-swapped slides (against itself) following the same protocol as experimental samples for use as a negative control. Prior to hybridization, microarrays were processed post-printing by washing twice in 0.1% SDS for 5 min, 2X SSC, 0.1% SDS at 47C for 20 min, 0.1X SSC for 5 min, water for 3 min, then dried by centrifugation. The cDNAs (25 ul) were hybridized to arrays in formamide buffer [50% formamide, 8X SSC, 1% SDS, 4X Denhardt’s solution] for 16 h at 47C with 22x25 mm Lifterslips (Erie Scientific, Portsmouth, NH). Arrays were then washed once in 2X SSC, 0.1% SDS at 47C for 10 min, twice in 2X SSC, 0.1% SDS for 5 min, twice in 1X SSC for 5 min, twice in 0.1X SSC for 5 min and dried by centrifugation. Shaded from light, the Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescent molecules (3DNA capture reagent, Genisphere) were hybridized in formamide buffer for 3 h at 49C to the corresponding capture sequences on cDNAs bound to the arrays. Arrays were washed in the dark with SSC containing 0.1 M DTT and dried as described earlier.
