Genome-wide mRNA expression and methylation patterns of neural genes in response to prenatal hormones

ABSTRACT: We explored the molecular mechanisms that mediate changes in neural gene expression (i.e., hypothalamus and nucleus taenia of the amygdala) and aggression in male and female zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) exposed to prenatal testosterone. We used egg injections of testosterone or the vehicle to mimic maternal hormones, which are transferred to offspring during prenatal development. Many researchers have postulated that prenatal maternal hormones can generate adaptive phenotypic plasticity; however, no study has determined the mechanism facilitating these long-term changes. Thus, we analyzed neural tissues from behaviorally relevant brain regions for changes in gene expression via RNA-Seq and methylation via Methyl-Seq resulting from the prenatal hormone treatment.

Hormones, Genes, and Athleticism: Effect of Androgens on the Avian Muscular Transcriptome

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.

Obesity and sex hormones interact to promote CSF hyperdynamics in an obese rodent model of idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Project description:Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome exhibiting elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), visual disturbances, and severe headache. IIH primarily affects young obese women, though it can occur in individuals of any age, BMI, and sex. IIH is characterized by systemic metabolic dysregulation with a profile of increased androgen hormones. However, the contributions of obesity/hormonal perturbations to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics remains unresolved. We employed obese female Zucker rats and adjuvant testosterone to reveal IIH causal drivers. ICP and CSF dynamics were determined with in vivo experimentation and magnetic resonance imaging, testosterone levels assessed with mass spectrometry, and choroid plexus function revealed with transcriptomics. Obese rats had undisturbed CSF testosterone levels and no changes in ICP or CSF dynamics. Chronic adjuvant testosterone treatment of obese rats elevated the CSF secretion rate, although with no effect on the ICP, due to the elevated CSF drainage capacity of these rats. Obesity in itself therefore does not suffice to recapitulate the IIH symptoms, but modulation of CSF dynamics comes about with adjuvant testosterone treatment, mimicking the androgen excess observed in female IIH patients. Obesity-induced androgen dysregulation may thus play a crucial role in the disease mechanism of IIH.

Developmental Programming: Sheep Granulosa and Theca Cell-Specific Transcriptional Regulation by Prenatal Testosterone

Project description:Prenatal testosterone treated sheep, similar to PCOS women, manifest reduced cyclicity, functional hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovary (PCO) morphology. The PCO morphology results from increased follicular recruitment and persistence of antral follicles, consequence of reduced follicular growth and atresia, and driven by cell-specific gene expression changes that are poorly understood. Therefore, utilizing RNA sequencing, cell-specific transcriptional changes were assessed in laser capture microdissection isolated antral follicular granulosa and theca cells from 21 months-of- age control and prenatal testosterone treated sheep.

Characteristics of steroid hormones in systemic lupus erythematosus revealed by GC/MS-based metabolic profiling

Project description:<p>Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a remarkable predominance in female, suggesting that steroid hormones may be involved in the pathogenesis. Herein, more than 70 kinds of steroids in urine were detected by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to reveal SLE-specific steroid alterations. Principle component analysis demonstrated that the steroid profile was obviously distinguished between SLE patients and controls. Lower level of total androgens was observed in patients, and 9 androgens (DHEA, testosterone, Etio, androsterone, βαβ-Diol, Epi-An, Epi-DHT, 16α-OH-DHEA, A-Diol) underwent significant decrease. Besides, SLE patients exhibited slightly higher level of total estrogens than controls, and 3 estrogens (17-Epi-E3, 17α-E2, E3) were remarkably increased. Furthermore, we identified the elevation of 2 sterols (Lan, Chol), and the reduction of 1 corticoid (11-DeoxyF) and 2 progestins (5α-DHP, 11β-OH-Prog) in patients. In this study, metabolic signature of urinary steroids associated with SLE was comprehensively defined by GC/MS for the first time, and steroid metabolism disorders were found in SLE patients, especially the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Our findings will provide new insights for a deeper understanding of the mechanism of steroid hormones in the pathogenesis of SLE, and help to unravel the reason of sexual disparity in SLE.</p>

Project description:This study seeks to assess the effects of prenatal exposure of female sheep to execessive testosterone in metabolically relevant liver and muscle tissue. The goals are to 1) determine noncoding RNA in the control animals and 2) assess the effects of prenatal T-treatment on non-coding RNA. 3) Finally identify putative ncRNA-totalRNA interactions.
