Whole ovaries RNA sequencing; WT and ghrelin o-acyltransferase (GOAT) knockout mice

ABSTRACT: Ghrelin, an orexigenic gut-derived peptide, is gaining increasing attention due to its multifaceted role in a number of physiological functions, including metabolism, cardiovascular health, stress and reproduction. Ghrelin exists in circulation primarily as des-acylated and acylated ghrelin. Des-acyl ghrelin, until recently considered to be an inactive form ghrelin, is now known to have independent physiological functionality. However, the relative contribution of acyl and des-acyl ghrelin to reproductive development and function is currently unknown. Here we used ghrelin-O-acyltransferase (GOAT) knockout (KO) mice that have no measurable levels of endogenous acyl ghrelin and chronically high levels of des-acyl ghrelin, to characterise how the developmental and life-long absence of acyl ghrelin affects ovarian development and reproductive capacity. We have combined ovarian transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing with measures of ovarian morphometry, as well as with the assessment of markers of reproductive maturity and the capacity to breed. Our data show pronounced specific changes in the ovarian transcriptome in the juvenile GOAT KO ovary, indicative of advanced ovarian development. These changes corresponded with diminished ovarian reserve in the juvenile and adult ovaries of these mice, due to a continuous reduction in the number of small follicle populations. These changes did not affect the timing of puberty onset or reproductive capacity under optimal conditions. These data suggest that an absence of acyl ghrelin does not prevent reproductive success but that appropriate levels of acyl and des-acyl ghrelin may be necessary for optimal ovarian maturation.

Constitutively Active Foxo3 in Oocytes Preserves Ovarian Reserve in Mice

Project description:During female reproductive life, the reserve of ovarian follicles is reduced by maturation and atresia until menopause ensues. Foxo3 is required to maintain the ovarian reserve in mice. We asked if overexpression of a constitutively active FOXO3 protein can increase long-lasting ovarian reproductive capacity in mice.

RNA sequencing of Harpegnathos saltator workers's non-visual brains, ovaries, and fat bodies injected with juvenile hormone (JH) or ecdysone (Ec).

Project description:In ant Harpegnathos saltator, workers can become the reproductive gamergates in a queenless condition. During the worker-to-gamergate transition, juvenile hormone signaling decreases but ovarian ecdysone production increases in the gamergate. Injecting juvenile hormone analog (JHA or methoprene) induces expression of worker-biased genes in the brain , while ecydsone promotes expression of ecdysone-responsive genes in ovaries.

Gene expression profiling in the seminal vesicles (SVs) from neonatal DES-treated mice [array]

Project description:DES is a synthetic estrogen that is associated with adverse effects on reproductive organs. Our group has employed estrogen receptor (ER) α knockout (αERKO) mice to gain insight into the contribution of ER-dependent pathways in mediating the effects of neonatal DES exposure in female and male reproductive tract tissues. The objective of this study is to compare gene expression profiles between the WT-veh and -DES groups or αERKO-veh and -DES from the adult male mice (week 10) of the SV tissues to identify differential genes.

S-acylated and S-palmitoylated proteins in HeLa

Project description:S-fatty-acylation is the covalent attachment of long chain fatty acids, predominately palmitate (C16:0, S-palmitoylation), to cysteine (Cys) residues via a thioester linkage on proteins. This post-translational and reversible lipid modification regulates protein function and localization in eukaryotes and is important in mammalian physiology and human disease. While chemical labeling methods have improved the detection and enrichment of S-fatty-acylated proteins, mapping sites of modification and characterization of endogenously attached fatty acids is still challenging. here, we optimized and compared two methods widely employed to identify S-fatty-acylated proteins by MS-based proteomics. While these methods identified an overlapping list of fatty-acylated proteins, only alk-16 chemical reporter combined with NH2OH specifically and robustly identified S-fatty-acylated proteins. Alk-16 chemical reporter labeling alone gave a list of S/N/O-fatty acylated proteins, while acyl-RAC provided a list of S-acylated proteins. Acyl-RAC identifies any proteins with a thioester modification and is often misused in the literature to validate S-fatty-acylated proteins. It would be preferable, when validating new S-fatty-acylated proteins, to use acyl-RAC and alk-16 (+/-NH2OH) in combination.

Neonatal diethylstilbestrol exposure alters the metabolic profile of uterine epithelial cells.

Project description:Developmental exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) causes reproductive tract malformations, affects fertility and increases the risk of clear cell carcinoma of the vagina and cervix in humans. Previous studies on a well-established mouse DES model demonstrated that it recapitulates many features of the human syndrome, yet the underlying molecular mechanism is far from clear. Using the neonatal DES mouse model, the present study uses global transcript profiling to systematically explore early gene expression changes in individual epithelial and mesenchymal compartments of the neonatal uterus. Over 900 genes show differential expression upon DES treatment in either one or both tissue layers. Interestingly, multiple components of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR gamma)-mediated adipogenic/lipid metabolic pathway, including PPARgamma itself, are targets of DES in the neonatal uterus. TEM and Oil Red O staining further demonstrate a dramatic increase in lipid deposition in the uterine epithelial cells upon DES exposure. Neonatal DES exposure also perturbs glucose homeostasis in the uterine epithelium. Some of these neonatal DES-induced metabolic changes appear to last into adulthood, suggesting a permanent effect of DES on energy metabolism in uterine epithelial cells. This study extends the list of biological processes that can be regulated by estrogen or DES, and provides a novel perspective for endocrine disruptor induced reproductive abnormalities.

Selection of the length of fatty acyl chain and of the acylation site by the acyltransferase governs activation of RTX toxins

Project description:Numerous proteins synthesized in cells ranging from bacteria to humans have to be posttranslationally acylated to become biologically active. Bacterial Repeats in ToXin (RTX) cytolysins form a prominent group of proteins that are synthesized as inactive protoxins and undergo a posttranslational acylation on ε-amino groups of two internal conserved lysine residues by co-expressed toxin-activating acyltransferases. We investigated how the chemical nature, position and number of bound acyl chains govern the activities of Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA), Escherichia coli α-hemolysin (HlyA) and Kingella kingae cytotoxin (RtxA). The three protoxins were acylated in the same E. coli cell background by either of the CyaC, HlyC and RtxC acyltransferases. The results revealed that the acyltransferase itself selects from the acyl-ACP pool of the producing bacterium the type of the acyl chain of adapted length to be covalently linked to the protoxin. The acyltransferase also selects whether both or only one of two conserved lysine residues of the protoxin will be posttranslationally acylated. Functional assays then revealed that RtxA has to be modified by 14-carbon fatty acyl chains to be biologically active, while HlyA remains active also when modified by 16-carbon acyl chains and CyaA is activated exclusively by 16-carbon acyl chains. These results suggest a structural adaptation of the toxin molecules to the length of the acyl chains used for modification of their crucial acylated lysine residue in the second, more conserved acylation site
