Project description:Managing aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is challenging because of the lack of pharmacotherapies to halt/revert stenosis, deeming aortic valve replacement (AVR) the only effective treatment. AVS management is further confronted with staggering sexual dimorphism; women display more extensive fibrosis, while men present remarkably higher valve calcification. To accelerate the development of effective and sex-personalised pharmacotherapies, deeper molecular insights are needed. Hence, we aimed to characterise AVS sexual dimorphism using proteomics. Aortic valves were obtained from surgical AVR. Disease severity was assessed by echocardiography. Fifty valves (50% women) were homogenised, and the proteins were quantified by LC-MS/MS. The relevance of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in sexual dimorphism was appraised using protein-protein interaction (PPI) and functional enrichment analyses (FEA). DEPs were validated using immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and ELISA, with the aid of 30 additional independent valves.

Project description:Purpose: To conduct a transcriptomic study of gene oscillations in mouse liver by RNA sequencing of total RNA samples from 6 different time points across the day. Specific interest is to see whether sex is a factor in large scale gene oscillations under ad-libitum control conditions and in response to caloric restriction diet, since caloric restriction was previously reported to affect gene oscillation Methods: Total RNA was isolated from 20 mg mouse liver tissue using mini spin column QIAGEN RNeasy Mini Kit (Ref #74104, Lot#163035346, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Sample purity was checked on Nano Drop 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with 260/280 ratio ≥ 2.0 and 260/230 ratio ≥ 2.0 for every sample. Each sample used for the analysis had RNA integrity number > 7. The RNA sequencing was performed by Novogene Corporation Inc (Sacramento, CA, USA). After sample quality control, non-directional – polyA enrichment library was prepared using NEBNext Ultra™ II RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina, and 50M reads (150bp, paired end) per sample were generated on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. RNA-seq reads were mapped to the mouse protein coding genes (Ensembl: Mus_musculus; GRCm38) using Bowtie allowing up to 2-mismatches. The gene expected read counts and Transcripts Per Million (TPM) were estimated by RSEM (v1.2.3). The TPMs were further normalized by EBSeq R package to correct potential batch effect. Results: We have performed RNA sequencing analysis of mouse livers on Ad-libitum and timed Caloric Restriction diet across 6 time points in 24h. The results of subsequent compareRhythms analysis (R package) revealed that circadian rhythms in total RNA liver transcriptome are different between sexes of mice in both the number of oscillating genes and phase under ad-libitum diet. Caloric restriction increased the number of oscillating genes in both sexes and resulted in a larger overlap of rhythmic transcriptome between sexes, but did not eliminate the difference completely. The response of transcriptome to caloric restriction in terms of gain or loss of rhythm in gene expression profiles was also different between sexes. Additionally, we have shown that the lack of data stratification by sex might result in the failure to detect rhythmic changes in expression of some genes. Conclusions: Our study represents the first systematic analysis of the effect of sex on circadian rhythms of liver transcriptome under ad libitum and caloric restriction diets. We have shown that sex based differences exist in rhythmic transcriptome, as well as in the response of rhythmic transcriptome to diet. We are providing the data useful for both circadian and metabolic researchers and point out the gene candidates which may not be identified as rhythmic, if the data is not stratified by sex. With the help of GO analysis we have concluded that sex also influences the preference towards different processes to be regulated in rhythmic manner on transcriptional level - fatty acid metabolism and protein transport in males vs nucleic acid metabolism and RNA processing in females on ad-libitum diet. On calorie-restricted diet nucleic acid metabolism and RNA processing were enriched in males vs protein transport and signal transduction in females on calorie-restricted diet. These findings highlight a complex interaction of sex and diet in their effect on circadian rhythms in liver gene expression. All of the data from sequenced RNA samples from MALE liver were previously uploaded with the GSE211975 dataset. The current dataset only contains RNA-seq samples from FEMALE liver.

Project description:The liver plays a central role in vertebrate glucose homeostasis, and is also one of the most sexually dimorphic organs in terms of gene expression. While the extent of hepatic sexual dimorphism has been well described in mammals, little is known regarding this phenomenon in non-mammalian species, particularly fish. In this study, we examined hepatic gene expression and physiological phenotypes (growth, proximate body composition, retention efficiencies) to determine whether male and female zebrafish respond differently to diets comprised of 0, 15, 25, or 35 % carbohydrate. Using both Affymetrix microarrays and qRTPCR, we observed substantial sexual dimorphism in the hepatic transcriptome, and the response of some genes to dietary carbohydrate manipulation also varied by sex. Males upregulated genes associated with oxidative metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, energy production, and amelioration of oxidative stress, while females had higher expression levels of genes associated with translation. Males also expressed elevated levels of hnf4a, a gene thought to be involved in regulating hepatic sexual dimorphism in the rodent. Dietary carbohydrate affected hepatic gene expression, growth performance, retention efficiencies of protein and energy, and percentage of moisture, lipid, and ash. Significant diet effects reflected differences between the 0% carbohydrate diet and the other diets, consistent with previous work on other cyprinids showing a high tolerance for dietary carbohydrate. Our data support the use of the zebrafish as a model for the study of both normal and disease states associated with carbohydrate metabolism, and highlight the importance of accounting for both sex and diet Keywords: Nutritional manipulation, sex comparison

Project description:In the present study we used a proteomic approach to identify and quantify protein abundance differences between male and female zebrafish heart to explore, at the molecular level, any possible sex-biased differences in the heart as the central part of the cardiovascular system for this model organism. The results from the study provide a novel and wide proteome resource, which could be further used to study the role of the identified proteins in the cardiovascular system in both sexes. Furthermore, we hope that this study may open a new window towards the development of sex and gender-based drugs and it establishes sex as a factor to be considered when designing toxicological experiments.
