Project description:One of the most common congenital disorders of male infertility is Klinefelter syndrome. Because of its extreme heterogeneity in clinical and genetic presentation, the relationship between transcriptome and the clinical phenotype and the associated co-morbidities seen in KS has not been fully clarified yet. We reported here a 47 XXY karyotype Chinese male (KS) with infertility and analyzed the differences in gene expression patterns of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a Chinese male and a female control with normal karyotype by single-cell sequencing. We analyzed a total of 24,439 cells and divided them into 5 immune cell types (including B cell, T cell, macrophage cell, dendritic cell, and natural killer cell) according to the marker genes. Using unsupervised dimensionality reduction and clustering algorithms, we identified molecularly distinct subpopulations of cells between KS and both controls. Gene ontology enrichment analyses yielded terms associated with well-known comorbidities seen in KS as well as an affected immune system, type I diabetes mellitus. Based on our data, we point towards several candidate genes, which may be implicated in the phenotype of KS. Overall, our analysis showed a comprehensive map of the cell types of the PBMCs of KS patient at the single-cell level, which will contribute to preventing comorbidity and improving the life quality of KS patients.

Project description:Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common male chromosomal abnormality (47,XXY). Males with KS suffers from numerous comorbidities. Gene expression data integrated with other data types can increase the knowledge and clinically handling of KS males. Gene expression microarray from eight human Klinefelter syndrome patients (47,XXY) and eight human controls. The age of the Klinefelter syndrome patients varied, which was corrected for in the pre-processing as described in the paper and also in the 'normalization data transformation protocol' of this submission.

Project description:The widely variable phenotypic spectrum and the different symptom severity in men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) suggest a role for epigenetic mediators. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible involvement of miRNAs in the clinical manifestations of KS. To accomplish this, we performed a transcriptome analysis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 10 non-mosaic KS patients , 10 aged-matched healthy male and 10 aged-matched healthy female controls with normal karyotype. After RNA extraction from PBMC and the preparation of small RNA libraries, the samples were sequenced using next generation high-throughput sequencing technology. Expression profiling analysis revealed a significant differential expression of 2 miRNAs in KS compared to male controls. In particular, MIR3648 resulted significantly (p<0.0001) down-regulated by -19.084- fold, while MIR3687was non-expressed at all (p<0.0001) in KS patients. These results were confirmed by qRT-PCR. The functional analysis of the two transcripts showed that they seem to play a role in breast cancer, hemopoietic abnormalities, immune defects and adipocyte differentiation and fat cell maturation. Therefore, we speculate that both miRNAs may play a role in the immune and metabolic disorders and in the risk of breast cancer development in men with KS.

Project description:Klinefelter syndrome (KS), also known as 47,XXY, is characterized by a distinct set of physiological abnormalities, commonly including infertility. The molecular basis for Klinefelter-related infertility is still unclear, largely due to the cellular complexity of the testis and the intricate endocrine and paracrine signaling that regulates spermatogenesis. Here, we demonstrate an analysis framework for dissecting human testis pathology that uses comparative analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data from the biopsies of 13 human donors. By comparing donors from a range of ages and forms of infertility, we generate gene expression signatures that characterize normal testicular function and distinguish clinically distinct forms of male infertility. Unexpectedly, we identified a subpopulation of Sertoli cells within multiple cases of KS that lack transcription from the XIST locus, with the consequence of increased X-linked gene expression compared to all other KS cell populations. By systematic assessment of known signaling pathways, we identify 72 pathways potentially active in testis, dozens of which appear upregulated in KS. Altogether our data support a model of pathogenic changes in interstitial cells cascading from loss of X-inactivation in pubertal Sertoli cells, and nominate testicular GNRH1 as a dosage-sensitive factor secreted by Sertoli cells that may contribute to the process. Our findings demonstrate the value of comparative patient analysis in mapping genetic mechanisms of disease, and identify an epigenetic phenomenon in KS Sertoli cells that may prove important for understanding causes of infertility and sex chromosome evolution.
