Project description:The goal of this study was to identify androgen regulated genes in the forebrain, prostate, ovary, and skin. The results of this study will be used to make comparisons between androgen regulation of gene expression in different androgen-receptor expressing tissues, and will contribute to our understanding of tissue-selective androgen activity. RNA was extracted from tissues castrate male rodents after 16 hours of treatment of either vehicle (Ctrl) or DHT. The 4 tissues of extraction are Forebrain (ForeB.Ctrl & ForeB.DHT), Ovary (Ovary.Ctrl & Ovary.DHT), Prostate (Prost.Ctrl & Prost.DHT), and Skin (Skin.Ctrl & Skin.DHT). There are 3 biological replicates per group for a total of 24 samples.

Project description:Purpose: To study the expression profile of piRNAs in rat ovary Methods: Ovary from eight-weeks old, adult wistar rats were harvested after sacrificing the animal. The total RNA is isolated using trizol reagent. Subsequently, small RNA library was contructed using illumina kit as per manufacturer's instructions. Results: The reads were annotated to the rat genome (rn5) and piRNA database and their expression is studied Conclusions: Large number of piRNAs are expressed in rat ovary

Project description:The effects of how obesity and elevated androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affect their offspring are unclear. We found that daughters of PCOS mothers are more likely to be diagnosed with PCOS in a Swedish nationwide register-based cohort and a clinical case-control study from Chile. Further, female mice (F0) with PCOS-like traits induced by late gestation injection of dihydrotestosterone, with and without obesity, produced female F1–F3 offspring with a PCOS-like reproductive and metabolic phenotypes. Sequencing of single MII oocytes from F1–F3 offspring revealed common and unique altered gene expression across all generations. Notably, four genes were also differentially expressed in serum samples from daughters in the case-control study and unrelated women with PCOS. Our findings provide evidence of transgenerational effects in female offspring of PCOS mothers and identify possible candidate genes for the prediction of a PCOS phenotype in future generations.

Project description:Androgens are required for prostate development, growth and physiology, by activating the androgen receptor (AR) upon activation by testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the AR undergoes conformational changes, dimerizes and translocates to the cell nucleus regulation important genes releted to cell survival. Understanding the mechanisms of androgen regulation in the prostate gland is important, because the prostate is affected by several different diseases, in particular prostate cancer (PCa). Several ways exist to treat prostate cancer and promote epithelial cell death. Treatments involving androgen manipulation include surgical castration (bilateral orchiectomy), antiandrogens (usually AR antagonists), or substances that inhibit androgen synthesis (5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone blockers). 17 beta-estradiol exerts anti-androgen effects by blocking the hypothalamic production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and thereby inhibiting the production of testosterone by the testes , but also acts locally via interactions with either of the estrogen receptors found in the gland. It is known that the kinetics of apoptosis are different in the rat ventral prostate (VP) of castrated rats (Cas group) and in rats subjected to 17 beta-estradiol high dose (group E2) or their combination (group Cas+E2), with an evident additive effect in the latter situation (Garcia-Florez et al, 2005). The microarray approach was done to figure out what genes are expressed and how the cells of ventral prostate gland responses when the androgen is not available comparing three diferent androgen deprivation methods (sirurgical castration, high dose of 17-beta estradiol and both treatment combined).

Project description:Progression to androgen independent is the main cause of death in prostate cancer, and the mechanism is still unclear. By reviewing the expression profiles of 26 prostate cancer samples in a holistic view, we found a group of genes differentially expressed in androgen independent compared with androgen dependent groups (p value< 0.01, t test). Focusing on apoptosis, proliferation, hormone and angiogenesis, we found a group of genes such as thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5), tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 10a (TNFRSF10A), ribosomal protein S19 (RPS19) and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) up-regulated in androgen independent prostate cancer, which could play important roles in the transition from androgen dependent to androgen independent and could be biomarkers of prognosis. The main aim was comparing the androgen dependent and androgen independent prostate cancer to identify differentially expressed genes. In addition, we added several normal prostate tissue sample for comparisons. Totally 29 experiments were performed without replicates. 3 for normal prostate tissue, 8 for androgen independent cancer and 18 for androgen dependent prostate cancer. In all experiments, the reference samples are common reference, a pool with unrelated fetal tissues.

The microarray approach was done to figure out what genes are expressed and how the cells of ventral prostate gland responses when the androgen is not available comparing three diferent androgen deprivation methods (sirurgical castration, high dose of 17-beta estradiol and both treatment combined). Forty-eight 21-day-old male Wistar rats were obtained from the Multidisciplinary Center for Biological Research (CEMIB), University of Campinas. The animals were kept under normal light conditions (12-h light:dark cycle) and received filtered tap water and Purina rodent chow ad libitum. On the 90th day after birth, the rats were divided in four groups (n=3) and assigned to different treatment groups. To cause androgen deprivation, we utilized three different procedures with different effects on epithelial cell apoptosis. Animals in the first group were castrated (Cas) by orchiectomy via scrotal incision under ketamine (150 mg/Kg body weight) and xylazin (10 mg/kg body weight) anesthesia. Animals in the second group received a 25 mg/Kg body weight dose of 17β-estradiol diluted in corn oil (E2 group). The third group received a combination of both treatments (Cas+E2 group) (combined orchiectomy and 17β-estradiol). In the control group (Ct; normal androgen and estrogen), the animals received only the vehicle. Three days after the treatments, the rats were killed by anesthetic overdose, and the ventral prostate was dissected out for the microarray and immunohistochemistry analyses.
