Altered expression profile of miRNAs in canine inguinal testes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 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).
