Nickel (Ni) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, which can disrupt the production of steroid in rat Leydig cells. Steroidogenesis can be affected by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which operate in normal physiological processes. To date, however, very few studies have focused on whether ncRNAs are involved in Ni-induced steroidogenesis disturbance. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of NiSO4 on the regulation of RNA networks including long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA in rat Leydig cells. After treatment with 1000 mu mol/L NiSO4 for 24 h, 372 lncRNAs, 27 miRNAs (fold change > 2, p < .05) and 3666 mRNAs (fold change > 2, p < .01, and FDR < 0.01) were identified to be markedly altered by high-throughput sequencing analysis in rat Leydig cells. Functional analysis showed that the differentially expressed mRNAs were annotated into some steroid-related pathways. A dysregulated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA was constructed based on bioinformatic analysis. Furthermore, a ceRNA network related to steroidogenesis was selected to analyze further and after the validation by qRT-PCR. The LOC102549726/miR-760-3/Atf6, LOC102549726/miR-760-3p/Etsl, LOC102549726/miR-760-3p/Sikl and AABR07037489.1/miR-708-5p/MAPK14 ceRNA networks were eventually confirmed. Collectively, our study provided a systematic perspective on the potential role of ncRNAs in steroidogenesis disturbance induced by Ni in rat Leydig cells.

Life cell imaging of amiodarone sequestration into lamellar bodies of alveolar type II cells

Thomas Haller, Alexander Jesacher, Alberto Hidalgo, Christina Schmidt

Summary: This study used live cell imaging to observe the accumulation of amiodarone in primary rat alveolar type II cells, and found that it specifically accumulates in lamellar bodies. The uptake is rapid, while storage is persistent. The main mechanisms for intracellular bioaccumulation of amiodarone are proposed to be passive diffusion, ion-trapping, and lipophilic interactions.
