Differential Gene Expression in Cryptorchid Testes

ABSTRACT:

Differential Gene Expression in Cryptorchid Testes Study uses whole-genome RNA profiling of testicular biopsies to determine a potential causative role of isolated congenital cryptorchidism in azoospermia and/or infertility in the context of our previously published GeneChip data. Cryptorchid patients, aged 7 months to 5 years and otherwise healthy, were enrolled in this prospective study. During surgery, testicular tissue biopsies were obtained for histological examination and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Fifteen patients were selected based on the histological results and were divided into two groups. Seven were classified as belonging to the high infertility risk (HIR) and eight to the low infertility risk (LIR) group. Cryptorchid boys in the high infertility risk group lacked transformation of gonocytes into Ad spermatogonia due to impaired mini puberty. This group of patients will be infertile despite successful surgery.

Transcription profiling of testis biopsies to investigate testis developmental gene expression in cryptorchid boys at risk of azoospermia

Project description:Despite timely and successful surgery, 32% of patients with bilateral and 10% with unilateral cryptorchidism will develop azoospermia. Cryptorchid boys at risk of azoospermia display a typical testicular histology of impaired mini-puberty at the time of the orchidopexy. During mini-puberty increased gonadotropin and testosterone secretion stimulate transformation of gonocytes into Ad spermatogonia. In azoospermia risk group this transformation is to a great extent impaired. This study aimed to analyze data on whole genome expression signatures of undescended testes at risk of developing azoospermia. Twenty-three testicular biopsies from 22 boys were analyzed (19 testes from 18 boys with cryptorchidism) and 4 contralateral descended testes from patients with testicular agenesis. Expression profiling identified 483 genes not or under-expressed in the azoospermia risk group compared with the control and LAZR groups. Annotated loci were associated with spermatogenesis. Other significant genes were cellular defense response genes and hormone controlled loci involved in spermatogenesis. Some genes transcribed in normal adult meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells are activated in healthy juvenile Ad spermatogonia. Thus, molecular events initiating the testicular expression program at the onset of puberty and maintaining it during adulthood occur very early in prepubertal testes. This molecular event is to a great extent impaired in HAZR group lacking Ad spermatogonia (stem cells for spermatozoa) indicating impaired mini puberty.

EGR4 is a master gene responsible for fertility in cryptorchidism

Project description:RNA was isolated from testicular biopsies of cryptorchid boys. Gene expression profiles for these samples were investigated using Affymetrix arrays Whole testicular tissue was gained from cryptorchid boys aged 10 Months to 4.5 years as well as from controls of identical age. Each biopsy sample was collected for RNA isolation and GeneChip hybridization and was stored in cold 1x phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The tissue was then filtered through 100-nm nylon gauze. Fractions were collected, washed three times in 1x PBS, and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen prior to storage at -80Â°C. An aliquot of each fraction was fixed in 1x PBS containing 1% formaldehyde (Polio, France) and 1% fetal calf serum (Eurabbie, France) and analyzed by DNA flow cytometry to determine its relative DNA content. Cell pellets and tissues were sheared in RLT buffer (Qiagen) supplemented with 1% Î²-Mercaptoethanol and further processed using a Qiashredder (Qiagen). The suspension was centrifuged for 2 min at maximum speed and the clarified lysate was stored at -80Â°C. Total RNA isolation was performed using RNeasy Mini-Spin columns (Qiagen) according to standard protocols. RNA quality was monitored using RNA Nano 6000 Chips and the 2100 BioAnalyzer (Agilent). cRNA synthesis, human U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip hybridization.

Expression profiling by RNA-Seq of breast cancer samples from patients in walnut-consuming and control groups

Project description:Consumption of walnuts has slowed breast cancer growth and/or reduced the risk of breast cancer in mice. The significantly reduced mean tumor size or numbers of tumors was associated with changing the expressions of many genes that are associated with cancer growth, survival and metastasis. Many women treated for breast cancer are interested in reducing the risk for recurrence. The study was a non-placebo, two-arm, clinical trial. Women with lumps large enough for research and pathology biopsies were recruited to the trial. One or two additional biopsies were taken for gene expression analyses using next generation RNA Sequencing methods. The subjects randomized to the walnut group immediately began to consume 2 ounces of walnuts per day until follow-up surgery, if surgery were needed. At follow up surgery, additional biopsies were taken from the surgically removed, cancerous tissue for additional gene expression analyses. Changes in gene expression compared to baseline were determined in tumors of each individual woman in walnut-consuming and control groups.

Transcription profiling of human heart characterizing the progression of heart failure in patients with aortic valve stenosis

Project description:Myocardial left ventricular biopsies from male patients (n=6) with isolated aortic stenosis and pronounced left ventricular hypertrophy undergoing aortic valve replacement were harvested either from hearts with normal ejection fraction (EF,>50%) or with low EF (<30%). Biopsies were further obtained from non-hypertrophied hearts with normal EF (>60%) from coronary artery disease patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=3). Total RNA isolated from biopsies was analyzed using Affymetrix HG-U133A and U133B GeneChip sets.

N-glycomic signature of stage II colorectal cancer and its association with the tumor microenvironment

Project description:The choice for adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II colorectal cancer (CRC) is controversial as many patients are cured by surgery alone and it is difficult to identify patients with high-risk of recurrence of the disease. There is a need for better stratification of this group of patients. Mass spectrometry imaging could identify patients at risk. We report here the N-glycosylation signatures of the different cell populations in a group of stage II CRC tissue samples.

Proteomics pinpoint alterations in grade I meningiomas of male versus female patients

Project description:Meningiomas are among the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) and originate from the arachnoid or meningothelial cells. Risk factors for the disease include exposure to ionizing radiation, head trauma, and family history. Surgery is the first option of treatment for meningioma, but depending on the location and invasion patterns, complete removal of the tumor is not always feasible. Literature shown several specific unfoldings of this disease when comparing male versus female patients; for example, in one hand, its incidence is higher in female patients, on the other hand, male patients usually develop the malignant and more aggressive type. Here, we compare the proteomic profile of tumor biopsies of male and female patients diagnosed with grade I meningioma and list several differentially abundant proteins between the two groups that ultimately reflected in different enriched pathways. For male patients, the enriched pathways were mostly involved in neutrophil degranulation, cell-matrix organization, antigen processing, and the presentation of exogenous peptides; for the female group, pathways related to the organization of cellular components and organelles, and RNA splicing. Tackling on these differences is important to better understand this disease and, ultimately, provide individual treatments.
