Expression data of CD9 positive germ cells from young and aged Sprague Dawley germ cell specific GFP rats

ABSTRACT: Male fertility and testis function changes with age and so it was sought to determine if these changes are accompanied by changes in gene expression in the spermatogonial cells at the foundation of spermatogenesis A full genome microarray was used to determine if distinct pathways of genes were altered in expression in CD9-positive germ cells with age Testes from young (4 months) and aged (21 months) Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to dissociation to isolate a singel cell suspension of germ cells. These cells were used to isolate CD9 positive spermatogonial cells. RNA was isolated from these cells for hybridization on agilent miroarrays.

A strong correlation exists between increasing paternal age and a decline in reproductive function. Testis aging is associated with testicular atrophy, increased DNA damage, and de novo mutations. It is unclear whether these problems arise from the spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), a buildup of anomalies as older germ cells progress through spermatogenesis, or both. We hypothesize that with the continual divisions of SSCs that maintain the germ cell population, an alteration of these cells occur ...[more]

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and proliferation are critical events in the development of neointima following vascular injury. Exogenous expression of human CD9 by CD9-adenoviral transduction led to increases in neointima. CD9 expression significantly augmented PI-3 kinase dependent Akt phosphorylation with concurrent adhesion to extracellular matrix protein fibronectin (FN). Furthermore,enhanced Akt phosphorylation was attenuated by anti-CD9 mAb7 binding. As multiple factors contribute to the regulation of VSMC phenotype, our aim was to establish whether increased CD9 expression would induce changes in the expression of other genes associated with VSMC proliferation and motility. RASM were transduced with either CD9 adenovirus or control and were plated on FN for 6hours. Cells were harvested from 3 replicate plates and total RNA from each was isolated using the TRIzol method and pooled for each CD9 and LacZ transduced RASM. RNA was sent to Genome Explorations Memphis TN for microarray analysis. Microarray analyses were done using the U230.2 rat gene chip from Affymetrix using RNA prepared from two RASM transduction experiments. Two independent microarray data sets have been generated and analyzed by comparing the filtered gene lists generated by the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software and looking for regulated genes common both sets of data. Analysis of this data showed the regulation of some key genes involved in the modulation of VSMC motility and proliferation.
