Project description:In mammals, ovarian folliculogenesis leading to the ovulation of completely mature oocytes is a long and complex process that is regulated at different levels. The mechanisms that underlie the selection of one or several dominant follicles as well as the regulation of the number of ovulating follicles are largely unknown. In this project, we proposed to study the genetic determinism that underlies the difference of ovulation rate between species (cattle and pigs), by studying two processes that exist in ovary: follicular development and follicular atresia. Towards this purpose, we made a comparative transcriptomics study on granulosa cells. Pig and cattle comparison was achieved by a transcriptome analysis with a 9K nylon pig microarray (GPL3729) on granulosa cells from either small healthy antral follicles (SHF), small atretic follicles (SAF) or large healthy antral follicles (LHF). The images were quantified using AGscan software and the data were managed with BASE software. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Transcriptomic analysis on pig and cattle evidenced 997 differentially expressed genes (FDR1%) between the three follicle classes and/or the two species. This research project which implicated three laboratories from INRA: "Laboratoire de Genetique Cellulaire" (UMR444-LGC) , "Station d'Amelioration Genetique des Animaux" (UR 631-SAGA) and "Physiologie des Comportements et de la reproduction" (UMR 85-PRC) benefited from both European funding through SABRE project and French ANR funding through GenOvul project. Keywords: transcriptome analysis, pig, cattle, ovary, folliculogenesis, gene expression, cDNA microarray The data were obtained from 34 RNA samples: 10 small healthy follicles samples (6 for sows and 4 for cows), 13 small atretic follicles samples (7 for sows and 6 for cows) and 11 samples for large healthy follicles (6 for sows and 5 for cows). They were hybridized on a 9K pig nylon microarray (GPL3729).

Project description:In mammals, ovarian folliculogenesis leading to the ovulation of completely mature oocytes is a long and complex process that is regulated at different levels. The mechanisms that underlie the selection of one or several dominant follicles as well as the regulation of the number of ovulating follicles are largely unknown. Atresia is a phenomenon which affects the majority of developing follicles. In this project, we proposed to study the gene regulation of small antral follicles that are either healthy or undergoing atresia in pigs). Towards this purpose, we made a comparative transcriptomics study on granulosa cells, using a 9K nylon pig microarray (GPL3729) on granulosa cells from either small healthy antral follicles (SHF) or small antretic follicles (SAF). The images were quantified using AGscan software and the data were managed with BASE software. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Transcriptomic analysis evidenced 1682 (912) differentially expressed genes with a 5% (1%) FDR between the two follicle classes.

Project description:Granulosa cells mature and die as ovarian follicles enlarge and die (undergo atresia) under the influence of hormones and intrafollicular factors. Later in follicular development, a fluid-filled antrum is formed, a process which is accompanied by a high rate of atresia. These small antral follicles (5 mm or less in diameter in the cow) contain granulosa of 2 different phenotypes, rounded or columnar, whereas follicles larger than 5 mm have the rounded phenotype only. Prior to ovulation, in larger follicles greater than 10 mm in size, the granulosa begin to migrate and differentiate in preparation for oocyte release and formation of the corpus luteum. These two key phases of follicular development were studied by gene expression microarray analysis using a bovine model to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes. Four groups of bovine ovarian follicles were selected for analysis. Follicle size, type and array number for each group are as follows: small (3-5 mm) healthy rounded (n=5), small healthy columnar (n=5), atretic (n=5) and large healthy (>10 mm; n=4). For each group, the RNA from a single follicle was used to hybridise an array, except for 3 small healthy samples which were pooled from 2 follicles each due to low RNA.

Project description:Thecal tissue forms a layer around the follicle just prior to antral stage and grows with the follicle (containing an oocyte) as it matures. The innermost component (theca interna) supplies hormones and other factors necessary to the growth and development of the granulosa and oocyte. Most follicles regress and die (become atretic) at the antral stage, and this process as well as development of the follicle are undoubtedly influenced by the theca. Transcriptional changes in ovarian theca interna at the global level were examined by microarray during atresia and development to improve our understanding of the mechanisms involved. Four groups of bovine ovarian follicles were selected for analysis . Follicle size, type and array number for each group are, small (3-5 mm) healthy rounded (n=5), healthy columnar (n=5), atretic(n=5) and large healthy (>9mm), (n=4). For each group, the RNA from the theca interna of a single follicle was used to hybridise an array.

Project description:The aim of this study is the identification of genes and gene networks involved in pig ovarian follicular development. cDNA nylon micro-arrays (2849 sequenced clones) were designed from different libraries : four subtractive suppressive hybridization libraries (generated from small versus large and small versus medium follicles) and a pig multi-tissue cDNA library. Granulosa cells were isolated from healthy follicles (small, medium or large), 24 h or 96 h after the end of a progestagen treatment. The RNA isolated from these cells was used to hybridize the micro-arrays and hybridisations were performed in duplicate. The images were quantified using Bzscan software and the data were managed with BASE software. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Keywords: cell type comparison Granulosa cells were isolated from healthy follicles (small, medium or large). The RNA isolated from these cells was used to hybridize nylon micro-arrays. The arrays contained PCR products from 2848 pig cDNA clones (GPL3978), spotted in duplicate on two separate fields of the same membrane (last number 1 of the local ID corresponds to the left field and 2 corresponds to right field). The data have been generated from 14 RNA follicle pools (five Large, five Medium and four Small follicles pools). For each follicle pool, 2 radioactive labellings were performed (before last number of the local ID corresponds to the duplicate number). Each membrane was exposed 6, 12 or 24 hours (depending on the saturation signal) to radioisotopic-sensitive imaging plates (BAS-2025, Fujifilm, Raytest France S.A.R.L., Courbevoie, France). The imaging plates were scanned thereafter with a phosphor imaging system at a 25 µm resolution (BAS-5000, Fujifilm, Raytest France S.A.R.L., Courbevoie, France). The images were quantified using semi-automated software, BZScan (Lopez F, Rougemont J, Loriod B, Bourgeois A, Loi L, Bertucci F, Hingamp P, Houlgatte R, and Granjeaud S. Feature extraction and signal processing for nylon DNA microarrays. BMC Genomics 5: 38, 2004). Fixed circle segmentation, i.e. a grid process with a fixed spot diameter was applied. The hybridization images were quantified by the extraction of the intensity for each spot. A new version of BZsan (AGscan solfware) is available at : http://mulcyber.toulouse.inra.fr/projects/agscan/ The experimental data were managed using the free BASE software (Saal LH, Troein C, Vallon-Christersson J, Gruvberger S, Borg A, and Peterson C. BioArray Software Environment (BASE): a platform for comprehensive management and analysis of microarray data. Genome Biol 3: SOFTWARE0003, 2002.) modified by Sigenae team to accept radioactive experiments. Finally, data consisted in (14 RNA x 2 labellings x 2 fields) 14 probes, 28 hybridisations, 42 images (14 images were filtred out for background too hight).

Project description:The aim of the study was to describe and characterise the phosphodiesterases in the human ovary. Part of the study included results from analysis of mRNA microarray data from follicles and granulosa cells from three previously published studies(E-MEXP-3783, E-MTAB-2203, E-MTAB-1670). In addition, we used data from two unpublished studies with granulosa cells isolated from 4-6 mm antral follicles and preantral follicles. The included studies covered the folliculogenesis from the preantral stage to after induction of ovulation. For comparison, previously published dataset from heart (E-GEOD-22253, E-MEXP-2654), parietal cortex (E-GEOD-35977), cerebellum (E-GEOD-35974), lung (E-GEOD-43458), and peripheral blood mononucleated cells(E-GEOD-23832) were included in addition to various tissues from Affymetrix's sample data set.

Project description:We investigate the role of Snf2l in ovaries by characterizing a mouse bearing an inactivating deletion on the ATPase domain of Snf2l (Ex6DEL). Snf2l mutant mice produce significantly fewer eggs than control mice when superovulated. Thus, gonadotropin stimulation leads to a significant deficit in secondary follicles and an increase in abnormal antral follicles. We profiled the expression of granulosa cells from Snf2l WT and Ex6DEL mice treated with pregnant mares' serum gonadotropin followed by human chorionic gonadotropin Granulosa cells from either Snf2l WT or Ex6DEL mice treated with PMSG followed by hCG were collected at 0h and 4h post-hCG. Each array includes granulosa cells pooled from 5 mice.

Project description:Three different stages of pig antral follicles have been studied in a granulosa-cell transcriptome analysis on nylon microarrays (1152 clones). The data have been generated from 7 RNA follicle pools and several technical replicates were made. Four Large, one Medium and two Small follicles pools were considered. For each follicle pool, 2 radioactive labellings were performed. Each membrane was exposed 16 hours (to avoid saturation of the signal of highly expressed genes) and 28 hours (to get some signal from lowly expressed genes). Each probe was hybridised on GPL3971 scag_scai Sus scrofa 1.2K mono array and on GPL3970 scag_scai Sus scrofa 4.6K triplicate array (except for GFS2172 which was labelled only once and hybridised onto 2 GPL3971 scag_scai Sus scrofa 1.2K mono array membranes), so that 4 spots are available for each gene (and 2 spots for GFS2172), for a given RNA and a given radioactive labelling. Keywords: granulosa-cell transcriptome analysis data consisted in (6 RNA x 2 labellings) + (GFS2172 RNA X 1 labelling)= 13 probes, 26 hybridisations, 52 images.

Project description:Folliculogenesis corresponds to the development of follicles leading to either ovulation or degeneration (a process called atresia). Even if atresia involves an apoptosis process, this mechanism is not well understood. The objective of this experiment was : 1) to analyse gene expression in pig granulosa cells of ovarian follicles during atresia using transcriptome analysis with a 9 024 cDNAs microarray, 2) the identification of gene networks involved in pig ovarian follicular atresia. Granulosa cells were isolated from atretic follicles (small, medium or large). Gene expression was analysed by hybridization of nylon cDNA microarrays. The images were quantified using Bzscan software and the data were managed with BASE software. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Keywords: pig ovary, folliculogenesis, atresia, gene expression, cDNA microarray, bio-analysis Calibrated follicles were isolated from porcine ovaries after ovariectomy (24h ou 96h after the end of progestagen treatment: Regumate 18 days, 20 mg/days). The follicular status was determined by histological criteria using Feulgen coloration (Monget et al. 1993, Besnard et al. 1996). Healthy follicle is characterized by frequent mitosis and pyknosis absence in granulosa cells. Presence of frequent pyknotic bodies in granulosa cells and no mitosis were allocated to atretic cells. Two cross-classified biological factors of pig ovarian follicles are considered : 1) the stage of development of the follicular growth : small (1-2 mm of diameter), medium (3 mm) and large (>5 mm) follicles; 2) the follicular status: healthy (S1) vs beginning (A2) or advanced (A3) atresia. Gene expression was analysed by hybridization of nylon cDNA microarrays (GPL3729). After hybridisation the data analysis using BASE software and statistical analysis was performed to identify regulated genes. For each of three follicle class and three follicle status combination 4 biological replicates were considered. Total 36 membranes were first hybridized with a vector oligonucleotide labeled (T7 probe 5'-taatacgactcactataggga-3') with gamma33P ATP at 42°C during 12h to determine the quality of the spotting process. After being washed, the arrays were exposed 6 or 24 hours to radioisotopic-sensitive imaging plates (BAS-2025, Fujifilm, Raytest France S.A.R.L., Courbevoie, France). The imaging plates were scanned thereafter with a phosphor imaging system at a 25 õm resolution (BAS-5000, Fujifilm, Raytest France S.A.R.L., Courbevoie, France). Data were acquired with help of a microarray image processing software - AGScan (Cathelin, 2006, http://mulcyber.toulouse.inra.fr/projects/agscan/). Fixed circle segmentation, i.e. a grid process with a fixed spot diameter was applied. The hybridization images were quantified by the extraction of the intensity for each spot. Arrays images and data were stored using BASE software (Saal LH, Troein C, Vallon-Christersson J, Gruvberger S, Borg A, and Peterson C.

Project description:Gene expression analysis of yw follicles at S9/10a, S10B, S12, and S14; Gene expression analysis of pxt mutant follicles (f01000 and EY03052) at S10B, S12, S14 Drosophila ovarian follicles complete development using a spatially and temporally controlled maturation process in which they resume meiosis and secrete a multi-layered, protective eggshell before undergoing arrest and/or ovulation. Microarray analysis revealed more than 150 genes that are expressed in a stage-specific manner during the last 24 hours of follicle development. These include all 30 previously known eggshell genes, as well as 19 new candidate chorion genes and 100 other genes likely to participate in maturation. Mutations in pxt, encoding a putative Drosophila cyclooxygenase, cause many transcripts to begin expression prematurely, and are associated with eggshell defects. Somatic activity of Pxt is required, as RNAi knockdown of pxt in the follicle cells recapitulates both the temporal expression and eggshell defects. One of the temporally regulated genes, cyp18a1, which encodes a cytochromome P450 protein mediating ecdysone turnover, is downregulated in pxt mutant follicles, and cyp18a1 mutation itself alters eggshell gene expression. These studies further define the molecular program of Drosophila follicle maturation and support the idea that it is coordinated by lipid and steroid hormonal signals. minimum of 2 replicates per stage and genotype. yw=control follicles. pxt=mutant follicles.
