Project description:The role of estrogen and testosterone in the regulation of gene expression in the proximal reproductive tract is not completely understood. To address this question, mice were treated with testosterone or estradiol and RNA from the efferent ducts and caput epididymis was processed and hybridized to Affymetrix MOE 430 2.0 microarrays. Analysis of array output identified probe sets in each tissue with altered levels in hormone treated versus control animals. Hormone treatment efficacy was confirmed by determination of serum hormone levels pre- and post-treatment and observed changes in transcript levels of previously reported hormone-responsive genes. Tissue-specific hormone sensitivity was observed with 2867 and 3197 probe sets changing significantly in the efferent ducts after estrogen and testosterone treatment, respectively. In the caput epididymis, 117 and 268 probe sets changed after estrogen and testosterone treatment, respectively, demonstrating a greater response to hormone in the efferent ducts than the caput epididymis. Transcripts sharing similar profiles in the intact and hormone-treated animals compared with castrated controls were also identified. Ontological analysis of probe sets revealed a significant number of hormone-regulated transcripts encode proteins associated with lipid metabolism, transcription and steroid metabolism in both tissues. Real-time RT-PCR was employed to confirm array data and investigate other potential hormone-responsive regulators of proximal reproductive tract function. The results of this work reveal previously unknown responses to estrogen in the caput epididymis and to testosterone in the efferent ducts as well as tissue specific hormone sensitivity in the proximal reproductive tract. Adult animals were castrated or sham-castrated, allowed to recover for 14 days, and then treated with 0.015 mg estradiol (castrated), 0.015 mg testosterone propionate (castrated), or vehicle (castrated and sham-castrated as biological controls) in duplicate. Efferent duct and caput epididymis was collected from each sample and analyzed. Duplicates are included in the provided data and numbered 1 or 2 for each treatment regimen.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are a well recognized and common cause of muscle atrophy. Glucocorticoid-induced atrophy can be prevented by testosterone, but the molecular mechanisms underlying such protection have not been described. Thus, the global effects of testosterone on dexamethasone-induced changes in gene expression were evaluated in rat gastrocnemius muscle using Affymetrix 230_2 DNA microarrays. Gene expression was analyzed after 7 days administration of dexamethasone, dexamethasone plus testosterone, or vehicle. Effects of these agents on weights of gastrocnemius muscles from these animals has been reported (1. Zhao W, Pan J, Zhao Z, Wu Y, Bauman WA, and Cardozo CP. Testosterone protects against dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy, protein degradation and MAFbx upregulation. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 110: 125-129, 2008.) Dexamethasone changed expression of 876 probe sets by at least 2-fold, of which 474 probe sets were changed by at least two fold in the opposite direction in the dexamethasone plus testosterone group (genes in opposition). Major biological themes represented by genes in opposition included IGF-1 signaling, protein synthesis, myogenesis and muscle development, and ubiquitin conjugases and ligases. Testosterone blocked increased expression of DDIT4 and eIF4EBP1, FOXO1 and of the p85 regulatory subunit of the IGF-1 receptor, while preventing decreased expression of IRS-1. Testosterone blocked decreased expression of LXR and suppressed upregulation of C/EBP beta and delta. Testosterone prevented increase expression of Cdkn1A (p21) and decrease expression of cyclins B and D, as well as many other changes that would be expected to reduce cell cycle progression. Testosterone prevented increased expression of muscle development factors Csrp3 and Mbn1 and blocked reduced expression of Wnt4. These data suggest that testosterone blocks multiple changes in gene expression that, collectively, would otherwise downregulate molecular signals that promote protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy and that stimulate muscle protein catabolism. Experiment Overall Design: Rats (250 g males) were administered dexamethasone (0.7 mg/kg/day) alone or with testosterone (20 mg/kg/day) dissolved in vehicle (propylene glycol) by continuous infusion (Alzet pumps) for 7 days. Control animals were administered vehicle only. Gene expression was compared among the 3 groups at 7 days using one chip per animal, 3 animals per group.

Project description:Male vertebrate social displays vary from physically simple to complex, with the latter involving exquisite motor command of the body and appendages. Studies of these displays have, in turn, provided substantial insight into neuromotor mechanisms. The neotropical golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus) has been used previously as a model to investigate intricate motor skills because adult males of this species perform an acrobatic and androgen-dependent courtship display. To support this behavior, these birds express elevated levels of androgen receptors (AR) in their skeletal muscles. Here we use RNA sequencing to explore how testosterone (T) modulates the muscular transcriptome to support male manakin courtship displays. In addition, we explore how androgens influence gene expression in the muscles of the zebra finch (Taenopygia guttata), a model passerine bird with a limited courtship display and minimal muscle AR. We identify androgen-dependent, muscle-specific gene regulation in both species. In addition, we identify manakin-specific effects that are linked to muscle use during the manakin display, including androgenic regulation of genes associated with muscle fiber contractility, cellular homeostasis, and energetic efficiency. Overall, our results point to numerous genes and gene networks impacted by androgens in male birds, including some that underlie optimal muscle function necessary for performing acrobatic display routines. Manakins are excellent models to explore gene regulation promoting athletic ability.

Project description:Optimal androgen signaling is critical for testicular development and spermatogenesis. Methoxyacetic acid (MAA), the primary active metabolite of the industrial chemical ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, disrupts spermatogenesis and causes testicular atrophy. Transcriptional trans-activation studies have indicated that MAA can enhance androgen receptor activity, however, whether MAA actually impacts the expression of androgen-responsive genes in vivo, and which genes might be affected is not known. A mouse TM3 Leydig cell line that stably expresses androgen receptor (TM3-AR) was prepared and analyzed by transcriptional profiling to identify target gene interactions between MAA and testosterone on a global scale. MAA is shown to have widespread effects on androgen-responsive genes, affecting processes ranging from apoptosis to ion transport, cell adhesion, phosphorylation and transcription, with MAA able to enhance, as well as antagonize, androgenic responses. Moreover, testosterone is shown to exert both positive and negative effects on MAA gene responses. Motif analysis indicated that binding sites for FOX, HOX, LEF/TCF, STAT5 and MEF2 family transcription factors are among the most highly enriched in genes regulated by testosterone and MAA. Notably, 65 FOXO targets were repressed by testosterone or showed repression enhanced by MAA when combined with testosterone; these include 16 genes associated with developmental processes, six of which are Hox genes. These findings highlight the complex interactions between testosterone and MAA, and provide insight into the effects of MAA exposure on androgen-dependent processes in a Leydig cell model. TM3-AR cells (see below) were grown in DMEM-F12 medium containing 5% horse serum and 2.5% FBS. LNCaP cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS. RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent using the manufacturer’s protocol.

Project description:Analysis of DNA methylation in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis/preoptic area and striatum in response to perinatal testosterone exposure. The hypothesis tested was that treatment of females with testosterone on the day of birth would lead to masculinization of the methylome in adulthood. There were three experimental groups: males, females, and females treated with T on the day of birth. The methylation patterns in each group was determined using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. Two brain regions and two time points (day 4 and day 60) were surveyed in each group. Each biological replicate is a pool of tissue from three animals.

Project description:The role of androgen in breast cancer development is not fully understood although androgen receptors (AR) have been identified in breast cancer clinical samples and cell lines. However the whole spectra of androgen actions cannot be accounted to the classic AR mode of action and the possible existence of a cell surface AR has been suggested. Indeed androgens like all steroids have been reported to trigger membrane initiated signaling activity and exert specific actions. Androgens acting on the membrane can rapidly activate kinase signaling pathways and ultimately could affect gene expression. However, the molecular nature of membrane androgen binding sites represents another major persisting question. In the present study, we investigated early transcriptional effects of testosterone and the impermeable testosterone-BSA conjugate, in two breast cancer cell lines, in an attempt to decipher specific genes modified in each case, providing evidences about specific membrane initiating actions. Our data indicate that the two agents tested affect the expression of several genes. A group of genes were commonly affected while others were uniquely modified by each agent. In MDA-MB-231 cells, that are AR negative, the majority of genes affected by testosterone were also affected by testosterone-BSA indicating a membrane action. Subsequent analysis revealed that the two agents trigger different molecular pathways and cellular/molecular functions, suggestive of a molecular heterogeneity of membrane and intracellular AR. In addition, the phenotypic interactions of membrane-acting androgen with growth factor were verified at the transcriptomic level. Finally an interesting interplay between membrane-acting androgen with inflammation-related molecules, with potential clinical implications was revealed. Experiment Overall Design: Cell lines and culture conditions Experiment Overall Design: The hormone-sensitive breast cancer cell line T47D (expressing ERα, ERβ and AR) and the hormone insensitive breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 (expressing only ERβ) were purchased from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (Salisbury, UK). T47D cells and MDA-MB-231 were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium, supplemented with 10% charcoal treated fetal bovine serum (FBS), in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air, at 37°C. Culture media and serum were from Gibco BRL (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Experiment Overall Design: Treatment- Gene expression assay Experiment Overall Design: Cells were serum starved for 6 hours and then treated with 10-7M Testosterone or charcoal-treated Testosterone-BSA, for 3 hours. Total RNA was isolated using Nucleospin II columns (Macheray-Nagel, Düren, Germany), labeled and hybridized according to the Affymetrix protocol (Affymetrix Gene-Chip Expression Analysis Technical Manual), using the HGU133A plus 2 chip, analyzing a total of 54675 transcripts. Signals were detected by an Affymetrix microarray chip reader.
