Project description:Congenital Hypothyroidism occurs in 1:3500 live births and is therefore the most common congenital endocrine disorder. A spectrum of defective thyroid morphology, termed thyroid dysgenesis, represents 80% of permanent CH cases. Although several candidate genes have been implicated in thyroid development, comprehensive screens failed to detect mutation carriers in a significant number of patients with non-syndromic TD. Due to the sporadic occurrence of TD, de novo chromosomal rearrangements are conceivably representing one of the molecular mechanisms participating in its aetiology. Recently, the use of array CGH technique has provided the ability to map these variations genomewide with high resolution. We performed an array CGH screen of 74 TD patients to determine the role of copy number variants (CNV) in the aetiology of the disease. We identified novel CNVs in 8.75% of all patients that have not been described as frequent variations in the healthy population. Affected patients presented with athyreosis or thyroid hypoplasia and in one case with associated heart malformation. We selected 74 patients with thyroid dysgenesis for array CGH analysis. All individuals were detected in neonatal screening programs and abnormal thyroid gland morphology was subsequently confirmed by ultrasound examination. Intragenic mutations in NKX2-1, FOXE1 and NKX2.5 had been previously excluded in phenotype characteristic individuals. PAX8 mutations were excluded in all patients with hypoplastic thyroids by direct sequencing of the coding exons 1-11. The study was approved by the local ethics committee. Genomic DNA of all subjects as well as of healthy controls was isolated from peripheral blood leucocytes using the Qiagen DNA blood mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Array-comparative genomic hybridization was carried as described previously {Erdogan, 2006 #142; Pinkel, 1998 #151}. In brief, sonicated patient- and control DNA was labeled by random priming with Cy3-dUTP and Cy5-dUTP (Bioprime Array CGH, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), respectively, and hybridized onto a submegabase resolution tiling path BAC array, consisting of ~ 36 000 BAC clones obtained from several sources as described elsewhere {Fiegler, 2003 #198; Ishkanian, 2004 #196; Krzywinski, 2004 #197} . Step-by-step protocols are also provided at http://www.molgen.mpg.de/~abt_rop/molecular_cytogenetics/. Arrays were scanned with the G2565BA Agilent Microarray Scanner System (resolution 10 µm; PMT 100 % for Cy3/Cy5, respectively) (Agilent Inc. Santa Clara, CA) and analyzed using GENEPIX Pro 5.0 Software. Analysis and visualization of array CGH data were performed with our software package CGHPRO {Chen, 2005 #143}. For the assessment of copy number gains and losses, we used conservative log2 ratio thresholds of 0.3 and -0.3, respectively. Deviant signal intensity ratios involving three or more consecutive BAC clones were considered to be potentially pathogenic, unless they were covered by more than one known DNA copy number variant, as listed in the Database of Genomic Variants (http://projects.tcag.ca/variation/) or covered by > 50% of their length at least once in our reference set of 600 samples. Potentially pathogenic CNVs were verified by array CGH on a 244k oligonucleotide array from Agilent following the manufacturer’s instructions (Protocol-No. G4410-90010). Confirmed CNVs were tested for inheritance by co-hybridization of parental DNA on BAC arrays as described above.

Cytoscape {Shannon, 2003 #201} was used for the elucidation of potential interactions between genes within the intervals of interest.

Project description:Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among men in the world and the pathogenesis of prostate cancer remains poorly understood. In this study, we intended to disclose chromosomal aberrations that might be involved in tumorigenesis, using cDNA microarray-based CGH technology. Keywords: disease state analysis A total of 18 experiments were performed without replicates, using a kidney tissue as normal references. Prostate tumors and normal references were labeled with Cy5-dCTP and Cy3-dCTP, respectively.

Project description:Lupus nephritis (LN) is characterized by immune-complex deposition in kidney glomeruli and has been classified according to histological features, but has not been characterized on a molecular level. This study aimed to characterize the relationship between histological and molecular phenotypes in LN. Renal compartmental mRNA expression was measured in 54 kidney biopsy specimens from patients with LN and correlated to histological phenotypes. The top identified transcripts were compared to a separate longitudinal cohort of 36 patients with paired kidney biopsies obtained at the time of flare and at follow up. Unsupervised clustering based on mRNA abundance resulted in clear separation by renal compartment, but did not demonstrate a relationship with LN class based on the International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) classification, or the NIH activity and chronicity indices. A strong interferon gene signature was observed in both cohorts. FN1, SPP1, and LGALS-3 correlated with disease activity in both cohorts. The relationship between mRNA expression and ISN/RPS classification is modest. However, correlation of mRNA expression with individual histologic lesions identifies transcripts that change with resolution of disease flare, and provide insights into the molecular pathways potentially responsible for pathologic kidney lesions. Combining molecular and pathologic kidney biopsy phenotype may hold promise to better classify disease and identify actionable treatment targets.

Project description:Changes in gene expression in lymph node and kidney of cattle infected with alcelaphine herpesvirus-1. All animals in the group infected with AlHV-1 showed clinical signs of Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) within one month. Diagnosis of MCF in these animals was confirmed by diagnostic PCR. No clinical signs were seen in the control animals, which were subject to post-mortem examination separately from the MCF-affected animals. RNA samples from kidney and lymph node of 4 MCF-affected and 4 control animals that passed the RNA quality criteria were used for array analysis. Quality assessments of probe-level Affymetrix chip data and normalised data were carried out using statistical and graphical methods including MA plots and smoothed histogram plots. The MA-plots showed normalisation was effective; while smoothed histograms indicated there was no systematic bias in the data.

Project description:Hybridization of one kidney of cortisol treated fish vs. one kidney of control fish. Kidneys were collected from untreated juvenile sea bream (n=4) and from fish, which received for 72h a coconut-oil implant containing 10mg/Kg (fish wet weight) (n=4) cortisol. Experiments were carried out at the University of the Algarve, Portugal in accordance with National legislation for the welfare of animals. Experiments were conducted in two 125 l cylindriconical tanks supplied with a continuous through-flow of oxygenated seawater at 20+1 °C using juvenile sea bream (25 g + 3 g) adapted for 1 week to the experimental conditions. One tank contained 8 untreated fish (control) and the other tank 8 cortisol treated fish and the end of experiments fish were removed form tanks, decapitated and the kidneys rapidly removed and place in RNAlater (Qiagen) at â20 °C. No mortality occurred in the control tank but 2 fish died in the cortisol treated tank.
