Research:

  • Graduate Research with Dr. Fawzia Abdel Rahman August 2015- current Department of Environmental and Interdisciplinary Sciences
    Texas Southern University College of Science, Engineering and Technology

The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a proven model organism for lipid metabolism research. C. elegans studies showed that chronic exposure to mercury (Hg) compounds induces neuron degeneration likely due to the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element required for activation of many antioxidant enzymes that makes it capable of both decreasing deposition of Hg during co-exposure possibly due to the high affinity between Hg and Se and reducing the ROS level by activating antioxidant enzymes. This study focused on investigating Se protection effect mainly in the presence of Phenylmercury Acetate (PMA), and the use of C. elegans lipid profiling changes as a biomarker for environmental pollutants exposure. Chronic exposure to different concentrations of PMA results in animal death, which is reduced by co- exposure with Se. Results showed that exposure to PMA increases ROS levels in the nematodes in a concentration-depended manner. Also, Se exposure showed a positive relationship between ROS level and elevated Se concentration; while co-exposure to PMA and Se reduced the ROS level in the exposed C. elegans. The wild type C. elegans was used to investigate the effect of selenium on the lipid profile induced by exposure to the environmental pollutant Phenylmercury Acetate (PMA). Individual fatty acids showed differences in their relative percentage in treatment with PMA versus control and these differences were recovered in the presence of selenium. Based on quantitative analysis of the normalized fatty acids composition, it was found that polyunsaturated fatty acids were the most susceptible to change in the tested chemical. Triacylglycerols (triglycerides) profile changed due to the exposure by showing smaller or sometimes larger percentages in PMA treatment compared to the control. It was evident that the antioxidant Se was able to counteract the PMA effect and bring the triacylglycerols' profiling back to normal. The results provided evidence that lipid profiling can serve as a biomarker for exposure to environmental stressors.

  • Graduate Research with Dr. Richard Nass, August 2012 – December 2014 Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN

Recent Caenorhabditis elegans studies showed that low, chronic exposure to MeHg induces DA neuron degeneration likely due to the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the reduction of SKN-1/Nrf2 gene expression or reduction of MRP-7 gene expression. Reduction in the transcription factor SKN-1 gene expression increases MeHg-induced animal vulnerability and DA neuron degeneration; additionally, reduction in the putative multidrug resistance protein MRP-7 gene expression increases the accumulation of cellular mercury (Hg) and MeHg-induces DA neuron degeneration. Accordingly, Se is capable of both decreasing deposition of Hg in neurons possibly due to the high affinity between Hg and Se that results in Hg binding to Se, and inhibiting MeHg-induced DA neuron degeneration and mitigating MeHg's neurotoxicity. My studies demonstrate that Se significantly blunted MeHg's effects and proved its safety and efficacy in ameliorating MeHg's neurotoxicity.
