Comparative proteomics analysis of FFPE testicular tissue from men with obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia

ABSTRACT: The project aimed to compare testicular proteomes from patients with obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia in order to identify molecular signatures involved in spermatogenesis as well to identify candidate biomarkers for discriminating between different types of azoospermia. The samples used in this study were formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) testicular tissues obtained by biopsy from men with clinical diagnosis of azoospermia. Samples were grouped according to the histopathological report in 3 groups: 1) Spermatogenesis (obstructive azoospermia), 2) Hypospermatogenesis and 3) Sertoli cell only syndrome (SCO). Patients were aged 31–46 years with no differences among groups regarding age (Median age (Hypospermatogenesis) =35; Median age (SCO) =34 and Median age (Spermatogenesis) =39). Each group had 9 samples or 27 samples in total were used for the comparative proteomics analysis by label-free data-independent LC-MS/MS.

Comparative proteomics analysis of bladder cancer tissues to reveal proteins associated with cancer progression

Project description:The project aimed to determine proteomics changes in Bladder cancer (BCa) tissue from early to more advanced stages of the disease and identify the proteins associated with the progression. The samples used in this study were fresh frozen BCa tissues from patients collected immediately after surgery, with histopathologicaly confirmed disease. Samples were grouped according to the histopathological report in 3 groups: 1) Group 1 (pTa, G1), 2) Group 2 (T1, G2-G3) and 3) Group 3 (pT2-T3, G3). Patients were aged 28–82 years with no significant differences among groups regarding age: Median age (Group 1 (pTa, G1)) =62; Median age (Group 2 (T1, G2-G3)) =58 and Median age (Group 3 (pT2-T3, G3)) =73.5. Each group had 6 samples or 18 samples in total were used for the comparative proteomics analysis by label-free data-independent LC-MS/MS.

The gene expression analysis of paracrine/autocrine factors in patients with spermatogenetic failure compared to normal spermatogenesis

Project description:The role of paracrine/autocrine factors in inflammation, immune response and tumor development is well established. There is also an evidence that some of the cytokines there involved may participate in the regulation of the male gonads. However, their involvement in pathogenesis of male infertility has not been well defined yet. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression levels of IL-1 family members, IL-6, IL-10, TNF family, SCF and c-kit in infertile patients with idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) compared to men with normal spermatogenesis We analyzed testicular biopsy specimens obtained from 16 patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and 4 with normal spermatogenesis using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST.

Transcription profiling of of human epididymal gene expression in the caput epididymides of infertile and fertile patients

Project description:Caput epididymides biopsies from 4 patients suffering from non-obstructive azoospermia and from 4 patients with active spermatogenesis were compared. 414 genes in the caput epididymides were differentially regulated in infertile men by at least a 2-fold change as compared to the fertile men. Experiment Overall Design: Comparative caput epididymal gene expression from 4 patients with either active spermatogenesis (reference samples) or non-obstructive azoospermia. On each array, infertile tissue were compared to fertile tissue. Whenever the fertile tissues were labeled with cyanine 5 (see samples entitled "Patients 1 and 2" and "Patients 7 and 8"), the fluorescence ratios were swapped. Data was normalized using a locally weighted regression Lowess method and genes were considered differentially expressed in infertile sample versus fertile sample if there was at least a 2-fold change in 3 patients out of 4.

In situ transcriptomic analysis of spermatocytes in non-obstructive azoospermia reveals senescence-like states in arrested spermatocytes

Project description:To investigate in situ transcriptome of spermatocytes in non-obstructive azoospermia , we microdissected spermatocytes in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded testicular biopsy tissue from two types of non-obstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia as a control, and then constructed cDNA libraries based on Smart-3SEQ method.

Testicular gene expression profiles in infertile patients with AZFc deletions of the Y chromosome

Project description:In the present study we carried out testicular gene expression profiling of patients with AZFc microdeletion, idiopathic infertility and normal spermatogenesis, in order to identify up- and downregulated genes in the different conditions, and to verify the presence of specific molecular pathways leading to the spermatogenic damage in patients with AZFc deletions. All samples of patients with AZFc deletion clustered together, showing downregulation of several genes related to spermatogenesis. In this study, we analyzed testis expression profiles of 16 patients with different phenotypes, including men with AZFc deletions and men with idiopathic infertility. All pathological human testis RNAs were hybridized against normal testis reference RNA samples (obstructive azoospermia), while the three samples with normal spermatogenesis were hybridized against a control represented by an home-made RNA universal reference consisting of a commercial human purified tissue RNA pool (brain, liver, muscle and lung) (Clontech, Terra Bella, CA, USA) . These latter hybridizations were carried out in order to generate a profile of genes specifically expressed in normal testis.

Seminal extracellular vesicle sncRNA profiles reveal miRNAs/isomiRs as predictive biomarkers of testicular sperm retrieval outcome in azoospermic patients

Project description:Non-invasive molecular biomarkers for differential diagnosis of the origin of azoospermia into obstructive azoospermia (OA) or secretory azoospermia (SA), as well as for prediction of the presence of residual spermatogenesis in testicular tissue of patients presenting with SA, are of great interest for TESE outcome prediction in assisted reproduction. Our previous study of several hundreds of miRNAs suggested the use of some sEV-miRNAs from seminal plasma as biomarkers for the origin of azoospermia. In this regard, studying more in depth sncRNAs in EVs from semen of azoospermic individuals will be useful to select additional non-invasive biomarkers with diagnostic/prognostic purposes which could help in the identification of those individuals with real chances of positive sperm recovery on the testicular biopsy prior to assisted reproduction technology (ART) treatment. A high-throughput sncRNA profiling analysis using paired-end small RNA-seq was performed in seminal sEVs from azoospermia and normozoospermic individuals.
