Project description:Promoter methylation analysis of hypothalamc DNA from female rats at different juvenile developmental reproductive stages. Results provide insight into the role of the hypothalamus in controlling the onset of puberty. SD rats were housed (4/cage) in a controlled environment and euthanized at different ages (Early Juvenile: 21 days, Late Juvenile: 28 days, Late Proestus (the day of first ovulation): 31 days. Rats were anesthetized and brains were rapidly removed. The hypothalamus was dissected away from the rest of the brain and flash frozen. Total RNA and DNA was isolated from each sample using AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit-Qiagen (Valencia, CA).

Project description:Gene expression analysis of hypothalami from female animals at different juvenil developmental reproductive stages. Results provide insight into the role of the hypothalamus in controlling the onset of puberty. SD rats were housed (4/cage) in a controlled environment and euthanized at different ages (Early Juvenile: 21 days, Juvenile: 26 days, Late Juvenile: 29 days, Early Proestrus (before ovulation): 29-31 days, Late Proestus (the day of first ovulation): 31 days. Rats were anesthetized and brains were rapidly removed. The hypothalamus was dissected away from the rest of the brain and flash frozen. Total RNA was isolated from each sample using Qiagen's RNeasy Mini Kit (Valencia, CA). Samples were bioanalyzed on a RNA 6000 Nano chip kit to check for integrity and concentration before sending it to the GMSR-Illumina-Core.

Project description:The hypothalamus is a functionally and cellularly complex tissue controlling many developmental processes, including puberty. While key hormonal aspects of puberty regulation in the hypothalamus are well established, understanding the genes, cell-types, and epigenetic mechanisms underlying and regulating puberty is limited. Here, we performed 3’-UTR-seq on the hypothalamus from both sexes of C57BL/6J mice at 5 ages spanning pubertal transition (postnatal days 12, 22, 27, 32, 37) (4-5 replicates per sex at each age) to examine genome-wide age- and sex-biased trends in gene expression in a cell-type aware manner. Sample collection, RNA extraction, and sequencing was completed using the same protocols and on the same mice as PMID: 3622112 (E-MTAB-9459). QuantSeq 3’mRNA-seq libraries were constructed from total RNA using an automated method with Agilent NGS Workstation. The resulting single-end libraries were sequenced at SickKids TCAG core on the Illumina v4 flow cell with SR50 bp cycles extended to 68 bp. A customized pipeline was developed and used for the analysis of reads obtained (PMID: 36221127 for details). Processed reads were mapped to mouse genome (mm10).

Project description:Transcriptional profilling of the female primate hypothalamus during normal puberty. Total RNA samples from hypothalami from juvenile (JUV), early pubertal (EP) and mid pubertal (MP) female monkeys were used to compare pairwise against the JUV group.

Project description:To determine the global changes in hypothalamic gene expression that may occur at the time of female puberty in this species, animals were euthanized at three different stages, juvenile (25-days of age), early puberty (30-35 days of age) and on the day of the first proestrus (32-37 days of age). According to criteria previously established (Ojeda,S.R.; Urbanski,H.F. Puberty in the rat pp.363-409. The Physiology of Reproduction, 2nd Edition, Vol 2. Edited by Knobil,E.; Neill,J.D. Raven Press, 1994), 25-day-old animals are in the mid- juvenile phase of prepubertal development (JUV). At this time, the vagina is not yet patent and the uterine weight is 60Â mg or less, with no accumulation of intrauterine fluid. Older rats showing a closed vagina, accumulation of intrauterine fluid and an uterine weight less that 180 mg are considered to be in the early proestrous (EP) phase of puberty. Finally, rats still exhibiting a closed vagina, but showing a uterus ballooned with fluid and a uterine weight of at least 200Â mg are considered to be in late proestrus (LP), i.e., the phase of puberty when the first preovulatory surge of LHRH and gonadotropins takes place. The first ovulation occurs the following day. All animals were sacrificed between 1600-1700 h, and the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) was immediately dissected, as previously described (Rogers,L.C.; Junier,M-P.; Farmer,S.R.; Ojeda,S.R. A sex-related difference in the developmental expression of class II -tubulin messenger RNA in rat hypothalamus. Mol.Cell.Neurosci., 2: 130-138, 1991) and stored in RNAlater according to manufacturerâs instructions. Experiment Overall Design: Affymetrix arrays were used to detect global changes in gene expression in the hypothalamus of normal sexual development of the female rat.

Project description:Wolfram syndrome is caused by mutations in the WFS1 gene. WFS1 protein dysfunction results in a range of neuroendocrine syndromes and is mostly characterized by juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy. WFS1 has been shown to participate in membrane trafficking, protein processing and Ca2+ homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum. In the present study we aimed to find the transcriptomic changes influenced by Wfs1 in the hypothalamus and hippocampus using RNA-sequencing. We used WFS1-deficient mice as a model system to analyze the changes in transcriptional networks. The number of differentially expressed genes between hypothalami of WFS1-deficient (Wfs1KO) and wild-type (WT) mice was 43 and between hippocampi 311 with False Discovery Rate (FDR) <0.05. In hypothalamus of Wfs1KO mice one of the most upregulated genes was Avpr1a whilst Avpr1b was significantly upregulated in hippocampus. Trpm8 was the most upregulated gene in the hippocampus of Wfs1KO mice. The functional analysis revealed significant enrichment of networks and pathways associated with protein synthesis, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, molecular transport, metabolic disease and nervous system development and function. In conclusion, the transcriptomic profiles of WFS1-deficient hypothalamus and hippocampus do indicate the activation of degenerative molecular pathways causing the clinical occurrences typical to Wolfram syndrome.
