Testis developmental gene expression in cryptorchid boys at risk of azoospermia

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Differential Gene Expression in Cryptorchid Testes

Project description:<p>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.</p>

Abnormal H3K27me3 underlies degenerative spermatogonial stem cells in cryptorchid testis [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Cryptorchidism is the most frequent congenital defect in newborn males characterized by the absence of the testis from the scrotum. Approximately 90% of patients with untreated bilateral cryptorchidism exhibit azoospermia due to defective spermatogenesis in the affected testis. While abnormal spermatogonial stem cell maintenance or differentiation is suggested to cause germ cell degeneration in the cryptorchid testis, underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here we profiled spermatogonial epigenetic landscapes using surgically induced cryptorchid testis in the mouse. We show that cryptorchidism leads to alterations in local, but not global H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 in undifferentiated spermatogonia. Of these, the loss of H3K27me3 leads to activation of developmental and apoptotic pathway genes that are repressed by the polycomb machineries in germ cells. Cryptorchid spermatogonia exhibit the increase of H3K27me3 demethylases KDM6A and KMD6B. Furthermore, we reveal that an increased temperature leads to Kdm6a/b upregulation in germline stem cells cultured in vitro. Thus, our study suggests that a temperature-dependent histone demethylation induces mRNA dysregulation due to the partial loss of H3K27me3 in spermatogonia.

Altered expression profile of miRNAs in canine inguinal testes

Project description:Cryptorchidism is a major disorder of sex development (DSD) in dogs, with a complex, polygenic background. It is known that in canine undescended testes expression of protein coding genes is massively up- or down-regulated and it is associated with certain epigenetic modifications. In the present study we aimed to compare expression profile of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in undescended (UD) and descended (D) testes. Undescended (UD) and descended (D) testes of unilateral, inguinal cryptorchid dogs (n=9), as well as scrotal testes of control dogs (C, n=8) were analyzed by small non-coding RNA sequencing (sncRNA-seq) approach. Comparison of UD and D testes revealed 224 differentially expressed miRNA (DEGs), with 118 meeting the criteria of FDR < 0.05 and |log2FC| > 1.5 (8 up- and 110 downregulated). Similarly, comparison of UD and C testes identified 200 DEGs, with 102 meeting the same criteria (9 up- and 93 downregulated).

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.

Potential biomarkers tah could help to determine the prognosis of azoospermia treatment

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.
