Project description:Background: Paracoccidioides is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Infection is initiated by inhalation of conidia (C) or mycelial (M) fragments, which subsequently differentiate into yeast (Y). Epidemiological studies show a striking predominance of paracoccidioidomycosis in adult men compared to premenopausal women. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that the female hormone (17β-estradiol, E2) regulates or inhibits M-or-C-to-Y transition. In this study we have profiled transcript expression to understand the molecular mechanism of how E2 inhibits M-to-Y transition. Methodology: We assessed temporal gene expression in strain Pb01 in the presence or absence of E2 at various time points through 9 days of the M-to-Y transition using an 11,000 element random-shear genomic DNA microarray and verified the results using quantitative real time-PCR. E2-regulated clones were sequenced to identify genes and biological function. Principal findings: E2-treatment affected gene expression of 550 array elements, with 331 showing up-regulation and 219 showing down-regulation at one or more time points (p ≤ 0.001). Genes with low expression after 4 or 12 h exposure to E2 belonged to pathways involved in heat shock response (hsp90 and hsp70), energy metabolism, and several retrotransposable elements. Y-related genes, α-1,3-glucan synthase, mannosyltransferase and Y20, demonstrated low or delayed expression in E2-treated cultures. Genes potentially involved in signaling, such as palmitoyltransferase (erf2), small GTPase RhoA, phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase, and protein kinase (serine/threonine) showed low expression in the presence of E2, whereas a gene encoding for an arrestin domain-containing protein showed high expression. Genes related to ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation, and oxidative stress response genes were up-regulated by E2. Conclusion: This study characterizes the effect of E2 at the molecular level on the inhibition of the M-to-Y transition and is indicative that the inhibitory actions of E2 may be working through signaling genes that regulate dimorphism.

Project description:Corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine tissue formed from the remnants of the ovarian follicle after ovulation. In response to gonadotropin surge, the ovulating follicle undergoes dramatic changes in expression of genes and differentiation of follicular cells into luteal cells. In several species, of the several genes that are down- regulated post ovulation, Cyp19A1 that codes for aromatase, essential for biosynthesis of estradiol- 17β (E2), also get down- regulated but appears to get up- regulated at later time points in the estrous cycle to have critical role in E2 secretion. In primates and rodents, higher expression and higher E2 levels has been observed in CL. Surprisingly, in the recently carried out gene expression profiling of PGF2α- induced luteolysis studies in the bovine species [GSE27961], it was observed that expression of one of the earliest genes that was down- regulated was Cyp19A1 in the CL. However, the specific role of E2 in the regulation of CL function remains poorly defined. Thus, in the present study, efforts were made to examine the temporal changes in the global gene expression profile in the CL of pregnant rats after treatment with aromatase inhibitor (AI), Anastrozole, and E2 supplementation. The results obtained will further expand our knowledge on E2 target/responsive genes and the basic mechanism(s) that regulates the CL function. Key words: CL, E2, AI, Gene expression

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) digestive gland tissue comparing control tissue with tissue obtained from animals exposed to sublethal amounts of Chlorpyrifos, animals injected into the posterior adductor muscle with 25 pico-moles 17β-estradiol (E2) and animals pre-exposed for three days to the pesticide and further injected with E2. Background: Many pesticides have been shown to act as endocrine disrupters. Although the potencies of currently used pesticides as hormone agonists/antagonists in vitro are low compared with those of natural ligands, their ability to act via multiple mechanisms might enhance the biological effect. The organophosphate Chlorpyrifos (CHP) has been shown to be weakly estrogenic and cause adverse neurodevelopmental effects in mammals. However, no information is available on the possible endocrine effects of CHP in aquatic organisms. In the digestive gland of the bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis, a target tissue for the action of both estrogens and pesticides, the possible effects of CHP on the responses to the natural estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2) were investigated. Methodology/Principal findings: Mussels were exposed to CHP (4.5 mg/l, 72 hrs) and subsequently injected with E2 (6.75 ng/g dw). Responses were evaluated in CHP, E2 and CHP/E2 treatment groups at 24 h p.i. by a biomarker/transcriptomic approach. CHP and E2 induced additive, synergistic, and antagonistic effects on lysosomal biomarkers (lysosomal membrane stability, lysosome/cytoplasm volume ratio, lipofuscin and neutral lipid accumulation). Additive and synergistic effects were also observed on the expression of estrogen-responsive genes (GSTπ, catalase and 5-HTR) evaluated by RT-Q-PCR. The use of a 1.7K cDNA Mytilus microarray showed that CHP, E2 and CHP/E2, induced 81, 44, and 65 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs), respectively. 24 genes were exclusively shared between CHP and CHP/E2, only 2 genes between E2 and CHP/E2. Moreover, 36 genes were uniquely modulated by CHP/E2. Gene ontology annotation was used to elucidate the putative mechanisms involved in the responses elicited by different treatments. Conclusions: The results show complex interactions between CHP and E2 in mussel digestive gland, indicating that the combination of certain pesticides and hormones may give rise to unexpected effects at the molecular/cellular level. Overall, these data demonstrate that CHP can interfere with the mussel responses to natural estrogens. Four-condition experiment. Dual color competitive hybridizations.

Project description:Exogenous 17β-estradiol (E2) accelerates the progression of ovarian cancer in the transgenic tgCAG-LS-TAg mouse model of the disease. We hypothesized that E2 has direct effects on ovarian cancer cells and this study was designed to determine the molecular mechanisms by which E2 accelerates ovarian tumour progression. Mouse ovarian cancer ascites (MASE2) cell lines were derived from tgCAG-LS-TAg mice. Following intraperitoneal engraftment of MASE2 into SCID mice, exogenous E2 significantly decreased the survival time and increased the tumour burden. Microarray analysis performed on cells derived from mouse ovarian cancer ascites (MASE2) treated with and without E2 indicated that E2 treatment caused the upregulation and downregulation of genes involved in cell differentiation, proliferation and migration. In particular, Greb1 that has been also identified as a hormone-responsive gene in breast cances, was upregulated in mouse tumour cells treated with E2.

Project description:Background: Estrogen receptor (ERα) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) are two nuclear receptors involved in regulating gene expression. ERα and AHR are regulated by estradiol(E2) and TCDD respectively. They are also regulated by dietary ligands including 3,3´diindolylmethane (DIM) and resveratrol (RES). DIM is an ERα and AHR agonist, while RES is an ERα agonist and AHR antagonist. Few studies have investigated the impact of RES and DIM on ERα and AHR signaling at a genome-wide level. This study assessed ERα and AHR binding and associated gene expression changes after treatment of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with DIM, RES, E2, TCDD, and E2+TCDD for 1 hour and 6 hours before ChIP and RNA sequencing respectively. Results: 88% and 86% of the ERα bound sites after RES and DIM overlapped with E2 ERα sites. RES and DIM resulted in 577 and 446 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) respectively compared to 866 after E2. 68% and 62.3% of the DEGs after RES and DIM were closest to an ERα binding site. Motif analysis indicated enrichment for AHRE motif among DIM ERα sites but not among E2 or RES ERα sites. Both DIM and E2+TCDD resulted in greater genome wide binding of AHR than TCDD. DIM and E2+TCDD resulted in 10546 and 8904 AHR and ERα co-occupied sites respectively. While co-occupied sites for both enriched for the AHR and ERE motif among others, DIM mediated co-occupied sites enriched for Tcfcp2l1, Tgif1, Gata3 motifs while E2+TCDD mediated ones enriched for the NF1 and Ppara motifs. Overlap of coregulated DEGs after DIM and E2+TCDD indicated 123 were the same among both with 81 and 85 unique coregulated DEGs respectively. Enrichment analysis indicated that more enrichment terms were different than similar for coregulated genes after E2+TCDD and DIM. Conclusions: AHR activation is responsible for DIM mediated reduced regulation of gene expression by ERα relative to E2 and only a subset of the DEG’s after DIM and RES are ERα targets indicating future studies into other transcription factors regulated by DIM and RES are needed for insights into the regulation of gene expression by these ligands.

Project description:To determine how dormancy breaking agent, hydrogen cyanamide (HC) advances bud break in peach (Prunus persica), this research compared the transcriptome of buds of low-chill ‘TropicBeauty’ peach trees treated with 1% (v/v) HC and that of non-treated trees at 3 and 7 days after treatment (DAT), respectively, using RNA sequencing analysis. The peak of total bud break occurred 6 weeks earlier in the HC treated trees (at 32 DAT) than the non-treated trees (at 74 DAT). There were 1312 and 1095 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 3 and 7 DAT, respectively. At 3 DAT, DEGs related to oxidative stress, including response to hypoxia, lipid oxidation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolic process, were up regulated in HC-treated buds. Additionally, DEGs encoding enzymes for ROS scavenging and pentose phosphate pathway were up regulated at 3 DAT but were not differently expressed at 7 DAT, indicating a temporary demand for defense mechanisms against HC-triggered oxidative stress. Up regulation of DEGs for cell division and development at 7 DAT, which were down regulated at 3 DAT, suggests cell activity was initially suppressed but enhanced within 7 days following the treatment. At 7 DAT, DEGs related to cell wall degradation and modification were up-regulated, possibly responsible for the burst of buds. The results of this study strongly suggest that HC induces transient oxidative stress shortly after application leading to the release of bud dormancy and, subsequently, causes an increase in cell activity and cell wall loosening, thereby accelerating bud break in peach.

Project description:17β-HSD1 expression modulates T47D transcript profile in in steroid-deprived medium. The enzyme specifically regulates apoptosis and cancer-related genes in T47D cells cultured in steroid-deprived medium. Genes that primarily involved in Cell cycle progression, such as the Cyclin A2 gene, CCNA2, are generally down-regulated whereas most genes involved in apoptosis and cell death, such as the proapoptotic gene XAF1 and FGF12, are on the contrary up-regulated by 17β-HSD1 knockdown, and 21% of the modulated genes belong to this latter functional category. This correborates with its role previously shown in increasing breast cancer cell proliferation (Aka et al, 2010) and indicates that in addition to its direct role as cell proliferation via incresing E2 and decreasing DHT, 17β-HSD1 may also be involved in oncogenesis by favoring its anti-apoptosis pathway in breast cancer cells 17β-HSD1 may also be involved in oncogenesis by favoring anti-apoptosis pathway and/or inhibiting cell survival pathway. We tested the ability of estrogen to induce or repress endogenous genes of T47D by microarray analysis. A total of 131 genes were found to increase or decrease 1.5-fold or higher in response to 17 beta-estradiol (1 nM for 48 h). Besides, the gene regulation occuring in steroid-deprived conditions showed that 17β-HSD1 modulates gene expression in steroid-independent manners. Our study thus demonstrates that 17β-HSD1 modulates the E2-independent transcription of endogenous genes in T47D cells. The E2-dependent transcription as well as the E2-independent transcription are significantly modulated by 17β-HSD1 in breast cancer cells We first report here that breast cancer cell transcript profile is independtly modulated by both 17β-HSD1 and its principale product estradiol.
