Testicular apoptosis is involved in the regulation of germ cell numbers, allowing optimal sperm production. Apoptosis has been described to occur in response to the absence of hormonal stimulation of the testis. Here we investigate the effect of the physiological lack of gonadotropins from birth using the hypogonadal (homozygous for the mutant allele Gnrh1(hpg)) mouse as a model. We pursued a concerted strategy using microarray analysis and RT-PCR to assess transcript levels, TUNEL to quantify t ...[more]

Transcription profiling of T. brucei cell lines over-expressing wild type RAB5A or mutant versions of RAB5A or RAB5B locked in the GTP-bound state

Project description:As a test of trypanosome transcriptome responsiveness, we analysed the effects of over-expression of the early endosome small GTPase Rab5A in procyclic form T.brucei, which results in significant augmentation of fluid phase and receptor-mediated endocytic activity (Pal et al. 2002). part 1: 2 PCFWT and 2 PCF5AWT-OE (PCF cell lines over-expressing a wildtype version of RAB5A) biological replicates, as well as dye swaps were used. part 2: 2 PCFWT and 2 PCF5AQL-OE (PCF cell lines over-expressing a mutant version of RAB5A locked in the GTP-bound state) biological replicates, as well as dye swaps were used. part 3: 2 PCFWT and 2 PCF5BQL-OE (PCF cell lines over-expressing a mutant version of RAB5B locked in the GTP-bound state) biological replicates, as well as dye swaps were used.

Transcription profiling of T. brucei bloodstream forms cultured in different proportions of fetal bovine serum to investigate iron-sensing mechanisms

Project description:Bloodstream trypanosomes are sensitive to iron starvation, and upregulate ESAG6/7 transferrin receptor (TfR) mRNA and protein levels when placed in low transferrin or iron-depleted media, and adjust TfR expression to compensate for reduced endocytosis. Both observations suggest a specific transcriptional-level response resulting from an iron-sensing mechanism. The transcriptomes of BSFs cultured in different proportions of fetal bovine serum (FBS) were analysed. part 1: 4 biological replicates of SMB cells grown with 10% FBS (normal conditions) and 4 replicates of SMB cells grown with 30% FBS, as well as dye swaps, were used. part 2: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown with 10% FBS (normal conditions) and 3 replicates of SMB cells grown without FBS (but supplemented with 5 mg/ml BSA to simulate physiological concentrations of albumin in media with 10% FBS), as well as dye swaps were used. part 3: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown with 10% FBS (normal conditions) and 3 replicates of SMB cells grown without FBS (but supplemented with 5 mg/ml BSA and 0.3 mg/ml bovine holo-transferrin to simulate physiological concentrations of albumin and transferrin in media with 10% FBS), as well as dye swaps were used.

Transcription profiling of T. brucei in vivo or in vitro samples, with in vitro samples either inclubated at 4oC or not to investiage the influence of culturing condtions on intracellular transport

Project description:The vast majority of molecular studies on T. brucei are carried out using in vitro cultures. Recently, whole-genome microarray analysis indicated significant differences between in vivo and in vitro cultures of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Therefore, as an additional investigation into the influence of culturing conditions on intracellular transport we compared mRNA from bloodstream form MITat1.1 trypanosomes extracted from infected rats and from SMB cells cultured under standard conditions. 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal in vitro conditions, and 3 biological replicates of MITat1.1 cells grown in vivo in rats, as well as dye swaps were used. The method for RNA isolation from cells grown in vivo contains steps carried out at 4oC. To eliminate the possibility that differences between the in vitro an in vivo samples arise from cold-shock during isolation of MITat1.1 trypomastigotes, we also extracted RNA from SMB cultures incubated at 4oC for 1hr before RNA extractions. 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal in vitro conditions, and 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal in vitro conditions but incubated at 4oC for 1 hr before RNA extraction, as well as dye swaps were used.

Transcription profiling of T. brucei treated with dithiothreitol (DTT) or tunicamycin to invoke the unfolded protein response

Project description:Transcriptome responsiveness was further tested by attempts to invoke the unfolded protein repsonse (UPR), a classic ER-based pathway stimulated by the presence of increased levels of unfolded polypeptides. The UPR is mediated via transcriptional responses in both yeast and metazoan cells, and can be reliably activated by addition of dithiothreitol (DTT). Using DTT at concentrations that invoke a UPR in mammalian cells, Arabidopsis, yeast and other systems, we found that, in T. brucei, DTT exposure led to rapid cell death. We analysed the transcriptome at 1 mM DTT, under conditions where cells remained viable, as assessed by motility. part 1: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated with 1mM DTT for 1hr, as well as dye swaps were used. part 2: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated with 1mM DTT for 4hr, as well as dye swaps were used. The UPR can also be activated by addition of tunicamycin. Using tunicamycin at concentrations that invoke a UPR in mammalian cells, Arabidopsis, yeast and other systems, we found that, in T. brucei, tunicamycin exposure efficiently inhibits trypanosome N-glycosylation and that it resulted in growth arrest over a period of up to 24 hours. We analysed the transcriptome at 5 ?g/ml tunicamycin under conditions where cells remained viable, as assessed by motility. part 3: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated with 5 ?g/ml tunicamycin for 4hr, as well as dye swaps were used. part 4: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated with 5 ?g/ml tunicamycin for 24hr, as well as dye swaps were used.

RNAi knock-down of VSG in T. brucei for 1 or 3 days

Project description:As an additional strategy for investigating T. brucei transcriptome responsiveness, the mRNA of a highly important protein, the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) the major surface protein in the bloodstream stage, was suppressed with RNAi. VSG RNAi results in arrest of cell cycle progression in the bloodstream stage. In addition, the mRNA of a highly important protein for endocytosis, the clathrin heavy chain (CLH), was suppressed with RNAi. CLH knockdown leads to a complete block to endocytosis. We hypothesized that if trypanosomes were able to sense alterations in trafficking and respond to these changes, then depletion of these ORFs by RNAi would be expected to elicit a response at the transcriptome level. part 1: 2 biological replicates of SMB cells transfected with the VSG- RNAi vector grown under normal conditions (non-induced), and 2 replicates of the same cells treated with 1 ug/ml tetracycline (induced) for 24hr, as well as dye swaps were used. part 2: 2 biological replicates of SMB cells transfected with the VSG- RNAi vector grown under normal conditions (non-induced), and 2 replicates of the same cells treated with 1 ug/ml tetracycline (induced) for 3 days, as well as dye swaps were used. part 3: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells transfected with the CLH- RNAi vector grown under normal conditions (non-induced), and 3 replicates of the same cells treated with 1 ug/ml tetracycline (induced), as well as dye swaps were used.

Transcription profiling of spermatogenesis in juvenile mouse testis and analysis of four germ cell deficient mouse models, time series

Project description:Temporal study of the first wave of spermatogenesis in juvenile mouse testis and analysis of four germ cell deficient mouse models. A series of purified testis cell-types (McCarrey libraries)constituting a focussed gene set was exploited to examine gene expression in prepubertal mouse testis. Testis RNA from C57/BL6J mice at various ages post partum was compared to a common control consisting of adult (8 week) testis RNA from the same strain(also corresponding to the last time-point).This generates a time course showing the activation of genes on the array across the first wave of spermatogenesis, which can then be correlated with the appearance of specific germ cell types, allowing assignation of unknown genes to differing cell types. Adult testis RNA from four different genetic models of infertility (XXSxrb, mshi, Bax -/-, bs) were compared to age- and strain-matched normal control testis RNA. These models possess different cellular complements within the testis, which can be interpreted within the framework established by the first wave analysis and used to refine the assignment of genes to cell types.

Genome-wide profiling of follicular lymphoma by array comparative genomic hybridization

Project description:The secondary genetic events associated with follicular lymphoma (FL) progression are not well defined. We applied genome-wide BAC array comparative genomic hybridization to 106 diagnostic biopsies of FL to characterize regional genomic imbalances. Using an analytical approach that defined regions of copy number change as intersections between visual annotations and a Hidden Markov model-based algorithm, we identified 71 regional alterations that were recurrent in â?¥10% of cases. These ranged in size from ~200 kb to 44 Mb, affecting chromosomes 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 17, 18, 19, and 22. We also demonstrated by cluster analysis that 46.2% of the 106 cases could be sub-grouped based on the presence of +1q, +6p/6q-, +7 or +18. Survival analysis showed that 21 of the 71 regions correlated significantly with inferior overall survival (OS). Of these 21 regions, 16 were independent predictors of OS using a multivariate Cox model that included the International Prognostic Index (IPI) Score. Two of these 16 regions (1p36.22-p36.33 and 6q21-q24.3) were also predictors of transformation risk and independent of IPI. These prognostic features may be useful to identify high-risk patients as candidates for risk-adapted therapies.
