Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in men, with familial forms accounting for nearly 20% of cases. Early detection and risk stratification remain challenging, especially in individuals with a genetic predisposition. In this pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility and clinical relevance of an integrated multi-omic approach by performing whole-genome, strand-specific sequencing of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from eight patients with confirmed familial PCa. Through an integrated analysis pipeline, we identified 18,878 genetic variants, of which 2,276 were potentially pathogenic. Among these, 26 recurrent high-impact mutations—such as stop-gain and start-loss variants—were found in genes including MUC4, MCM9, and SKA3. Epigenomic profiling revealed widespread hypermethylation in these genes, suggesting transcriptional repression, while allele-specific methylation (ASM) was detected in TTC22, TEX51, WDR89, LAIR2, and SKA3, indicating functional interplay between somatic mutations and local epigenetic regulation. These findings demonstrate the potential of combining genetic and epigenetic data from cfDNA to uncover novel markers for improved stratification and personalized management of familial prostate cancer.

Project description:RNA-Seq was used for transcriptome sequencing of 11 samples covering various life stages and tissues from the yellow fever mosquito Ae. aegypti. RNA was isolated from described samples for RNA-Seq. Samples included four embryonic time points from 0-12 hr, larvae, pupae, adult males, 0-1 day old ovaries, ovaries from 24 post blood fed females, and 24 hr post blood fed female carcass (ovaries extirpated).

Project description:We analyzed gene expression profiles of human testicular biopsies in men with idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia who underwent therapy with hCG/rFSH. Using new generation oligonucleotide microarray platform GeneChip® Human Gene 1.0 ST, we identified genes which could be potential prognostic biomarkers of azoospermia treatment. We analyzed 6 testicular biopsy samples with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. 3 of them were obtained from patients with NOA, who positively responded to hormonal therapy and 3 non-respoders.

Project description:The role of paracrine/autocrine factors in inflammation, immune response and tumor development is well established. There is also an evidence that some of the cytokines there involved may participate in the regulation of the male gonads. However, their involvement in pathogenesis of male infertility has not been well defined yet. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression levels of IL-1 family members, IL-6, IL-10, TNF family, SCF and c-kit in infertile patients with idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) compared to men with normal spermatogenesis We analyzed testicular biopsy specimens obtained from 16 patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and 4 with normal spermatogenesis using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST.

Project description:We analyzed gene expression profiles of human testicular biopsies in men with idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia. Using new generation oligonucleotide microarray platform GeneChipM-BM-. Human Gene 1.0 ST, we identified genes which could be potential biomarkers of azoospermia and molecular indicators that could determine a particular stage of impaired spermatogenesis. Thus, we shed light on genes which were had so far been weakly characterized and which were had never related to infertility before. These studies also included the comparative analysis of the hierarchical clustering of gene expression profile with histopathological data provided for azoospermic patients. We analyzed 31 testicular biopsy samples with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. 27 of them were obtained from patients with various types of NOA and 4 with normal spermatogenesis.

Project description:Although piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play pivotal roles in spermatogenesis, little is known about piRNAs in the seminal plasma of infertile males. In this study, we systematically investigated the profiles of seminal plasma piRNAs in infertile males to identify piRNAs that are altered during infertility and evaluate their diagnostic value. Seminal plasma samples were obtained from 211 infertile patients (asthenozoospermia and azoospermia) and 91 fertile controls. High-throughput sequencing technology was employed to screen piRNA profiles in seminal plasma samples pooled from healthy controls and infertile patients. The results identified 61 markedly altered piRNAs in the infertile patient groups compared with the control group. Next, a quantitative RT-PCR assay was conducted in the training and validation sets to measure and confirm the concentrations of altered piRNAs. The results identified a panel of 5 piRNAs that were significantly decreased in the seminal plasma of infertile patients compared with healthy controls. The areas under the ROC curves for these piRNAs ranged from 0.796 to 0.996, suggesting that the diagnostic potential of these 5 piRNAs to distinguish asthenozoospermic and azoospermic individuals from healthy controls was high. In summary, this study identifies a panel of piRNAs that can accurately distinguish fertile from infertile males. This finding may provide pathophysiological clues that are involved in the development of infertility. Fresh samples were collected and stored at -80â??.Total RNA of seminal plasma were extracted and solexa sequencing was performed.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most frequent adult leukemia in western countries, is a clonal accumulation of mature B-lymphocytes and its natural history is yet unclear. By using sequencing and cellular biology approaches on a cohort of CLL patient samples, we show here that acquired CLL mutations are observed in hematopoietic multipotent progenitor fractions in the majority of patients. These early CLL mutations include recurrent inactivating mutations in NFKBIE (10.7%) and missense mutations in BRAF (3.6%) and EGR2 (8.3%). Functional analyses demonstrated that BRAF-G469R affects lymphoid differentiation and transforms the T-cell lineage in vivo. In addition, the EGR2 recurrent mutations were associated with transcriptional activation of EGR2 target genes in patients and cell cycle abnormality in cellular model. Our findings indicate that CLL may develop from an initial infra-clinic, pre-leukemic phase affecting immature hematopoietic cells. The aim of this study is to compare exome sequences from tumor cells and T-lymphocytes in order to predict somatic mutations in 24 CLL patients (17 IGHV-unmutated and 7 IGHV-mutated). Enriched exome fragments were subjected to massively parallel sequencing using HiSeq 2000 (Illumina).
