Spermatogenesis is an essential precursor for successful sexual reproduction. Recently, there has been an expansion in the knowledge of the genes associated with particular stages of normal, physiological testicular development and pubertal activation. What has been lacking, however, is an understanding of those genes that are involved in specifically regulating sperm production, rather than in maturation and elaboration of the testis as an organ. By using the reversible (seasonal) fertility of ...[more]

Project description:Pharmaceuticals are pseudo persistent aquatic pollutants with unknown effects at environmentally relevant concentrations. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were exposed to Acetaminophen: 54.77 ± 34.67; Atenolol: 11.08 ± 7.98 and Carbamazepine: 7.85 ± 0.13 µg•L-1 for 5 days. After Acetaminophen treatment, 19 proteins were differently expressed, of which 11 were significant with respect to the control group (eight up-regulated and three down-regulated). After Atenolol treatment, 7 differently expressed proteins were obtained in comparison with the control, of which 6 could be identified (four up-regulated and 2 down-regulated). Carbamazepine exposure resulted in 15 differently expressed proteins compared with the control, with 10 of them identified (seven up-regulated and three down-regulated). Out of these, 3 features were common between Acetaminophen and Carbamazepine and one between Carbamazepine and Atenolol. One feature was common across all treatments. Principal component analysis and heat map clustering showed a clear grouping of the variability due to the applied treatments. The obtained data suggest (1) that exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of the pharmaceuticals alters the hepatic protein expression profile of the Atlantic salmon; and (2) the existence of treatment specific processes that may be useful for biomarker development.

Project description:1. The experiment was performed to assess if the newly discovered Syrian hamster specific anti-PD-L1 antibody could induce a biologically relevant change in transcriptome profile in the tumours. This would confirm that the antibody has functional properties. In the larger picture, the Syrian Hamster model is favored over the mouse model for the development of vaccines and testing of oncolytic viruses/immunotherapies. This is because the model is semi permissive to virus replication compared to the mouse model. We can therefore more reliably assess the efficacy of oncolytic virotherapies, mainly oncolysis and promoter specific transgene expression. Moreover, we wanted to test potential improvements to treatment outcomes when combining oncolytic virotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade. However, there are not many commercially available research tools specific to the Syrian Hamster. This is why we developed an in vivo compatible immune checkpoint inhibitor so that we could assess the combination therapy in the Syrian hamster model. Lastly, we also wanted to validate if we could assess the efficacy of the immunotherapies using biopsies from hamsters to remove unnecessary use of animals. 2. To do this, we engrafted one PDAC tumours on the right flank of Syrian hamsters using 5 x10E+6 HapT1 cells grown in culture. When tumours reached 4-5mm in diameter, the hamsters were injected intraperitoneally with either 300ug of IgG2a control or anti-PD-L1 (clone;11B12-1). Hamsters were treated 8 times and a tumour biopsy was taken one day before the last treatment. The biopsy was immediately stored in RNA-later until extraction with RNA mini kit (Qiagen).

Project description:Background Sex chromosomes are subject to evolutionary pressures distinct from the remainder of the genome, shaping their structure and sequence content. We are interested in the sex chromosomes of domestic pigs (Sus scrofa), how their structure and gene content compares and contrasts with other mammalian species, and the role of gonosomal genes in fertility. This requires an understanding of the XY-homologous sequence on these chromosomes. To this end, we performed microarray-based comparative genomic hybridisation (array-CGH) with male and female Duroc genomic DNA on a pig X-chromosome BAC tiling-path microarray. Putative XY-homologous BACs from regions of interest were subsequently FISH mapped. Results We show that the porcine PAR is approximately 6.5-6.9Mb at the beginning of the short arm of the X, with gene content reflective of the artiodactyl common ancestor. Our array-CGH data also shows an XY-homologous region close to the end of the X long arm, spanning three X BACs. These BACs were FISH mapped, and paint the entire long arm of SSCY. Further clones of interest revealed X-autosomal homology or regions containing repetitive content. Conclusions This study has identified regions of XY homology in the pig genome, and defined the boundary of the PAR on the X chromosome. This adds to our understanding of the evolution of the sex chromosomes in different mammalian lineages, and will prove valuable for future comparative genomic work in suids and for the construction and annotation of the genome sequence for the sex chromosomes. Our finding that the SSCYq repetitive content has corresponding sequence on the X chromosome gives further insight into structure of SSCY, and suggests further functionally important sequences remain to be discovered on the X and Y. Genomic DNA from male and female Duroc pigs were competitively hybridised to an X-chromosome BAC tiling-path microarray. Male DNA came from the animal used for Y chromosome sequencing at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Female DNA came from a fibroblast cell line. 4 hybridisations were performed. Clones with successful hybridisation in 2 or more of these replicates were used for analysis and detection of potential regions of XY homology.

Project description:Staphylococcus xylosus is used as starter culture for sausage fermentation for a long time but the molecular mechanisms for its adaptation in meat remained unknown. A global transcriptomic approach was carried out to determine these molecular mechanisms. S. xylosus modulated the expression of about 30% of the total genes during its growth and survival in the meat model. The expression of many genes encoding enzymes involved in glucose and lactate catabolism was up regulated. In parallel, genes encoding transport of peptides and peptidases that could furnish amino acids were up expressed and thus concomitantly a lot of genes involved in amino acids synthesis were down regulated. Finally S. xylosus responded to salt added in the meat model by over expressing genes involved in transport and synthesis of osmoprotectants, Na+ and H+ extrusion and in production of energy through the F0F1-ATPase. Microarray was used to evaluate modification in the transcriptome of S. xylosus C2a strain in the inoculum (Mx) or in meat (V). Three biological replicates were collected on separate days for samples and labelled following a dye-switch design; for each condition one labeling in Cy3 and one in Cy5.

Project description:The G2 DNA damage checkpoint inhibits Cdc2 and mitotic entry through the dual regulation of Wee1 and Cdc25 by the Chk1 effector kinase. Up-regulation of Chk1 by mutation or overexpression bypasses the requirement for up-stream regulators or DNA damage to promote a G2 cell cycle arrest. We screened in fission yeast for mutations that rendered cells resistant to overexpressed Chk1. We identified a mutation in tra1, which encodes one of two homologs of TRRAP, an ATM/R-related pseudokinase that scaffolds several histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes. Inhibition of histone deacetylases reverts the resistance to overexpressed Chk1, suggesting this phenotype is due to a HAT activity, though expression of checkpoint and cell cycle genes is not greatly affected. Cells with mutant or deleted tra1 activate Chk1 normally and are checkpoint proficient. However, these cells are semi-wee even when overexpressing Chk1, and accumulate inactive Wee1 protein. The Cdr (changed division response) kinases Cdr1 and Cdr2 are negative regulators of Wee1, and while best characterized in the cellular response to limited nutrition, we show that they are required for the Tra1-dependent alterations to Wee1 function. This identifies Tra1 as another component controlling the timing of entry into mitosis via Cdc2 activation. Two and three independent microaaray experiments were done for wild type and the mutant (tra1-1) respectively.

Project description:Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) of tendons and aponeuroses is a deadly soft-tissue malignancy resembling melanoma, with a predilection for young adults. EWS-ATF1, the fusion product of a balanced chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 22 and 12, is considered the definitional feature of the tumor. Conditional expression of the EWS-ATF1 human cDNA in the mouse generates CCS-like tumors with 100 percent penetrance. Tumors, developed through varied means of initiating expression of the fusion oncogene, model human CCS morphologically, immunohistochemically, and by genome-wide expression profiling. We also demonstrate that while fusion oncogene expression in later stages of differentiation can transform mesenchymal progenitor cells and generate tumors resembling CCS generally, expression in cells retaining stem cell markers permits the full melanoma-related phenotype. Nielsen et al. ("Molecular characterisation of soft tissue tumours: a gene expression study"; PMID 11965276) used microarray to compare a variety of soft-tissue neoplasms morphologically similar to clear cell sarcoma. In our study, we use their expression data (not previously submitted) in the profiling of our mouse mutant that models clear cell sarcoma. The mRNA profiles of a variety of soft-tissue neoplasm samples are examined by HEEBO microarrays. Included here are a total of 6 different types of tumors, and 5 of them have at least one biological replicate. The authors of "Molecular characterisation of soft tissue tumours: a gene expression study" (PMID 11965276) performed these microarray experiments, including data processing and normalization. We obtained these expression data, and used them to train a support vector machine, which was later used to characterize our mouse model of clear cell sarcoma (data submitted elsewhere).
