X chromosome gene expression in D. melanogaster testes

ABSTRACT: Whole genome expression analyses reveal little evidence for X chromosome dosage compensation or meiotic inactivation in Drosophila testes, whereas testes-specific transgene reporters suggest a novel form of X chromosome-specific regulation. Gene expression was measured in RNA extracted from adult male and female dissected thorax, and in cells dissected from the apical tip of 2-4 day old adult male testes. Each tissue was assayed on four replicate arrays.

ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster

Gene expression variation in horse placental tissue, and resting and stimulated horse lymphocytes [Agilent-021322]

Project description:We undertook gene expression microarray experiments to identify genes that are differentially expressed in invasive (Chorionic Girdle) and non-invasive (Chorion) placental tissue, and resting and Pokeweed Mitogen (PWM) stimulated horse lymphocytes. Conceptus tissues were dissected to obtain chorionic girdle, and chorion. Freshly isolated horse peripheral blood lymphocytes were split and harvested immediately, or stimulated with PWM and harvested over a five day period. These experiments utilized a commercially available Agilent horse array that featured >43,000 probes on a 4x44k array format. Three day 33-35 chorionic girdle RNAs were compared to matching chorion RNAs. Gene expression in resting lymphocytes was compared to gene expression in PWM treated lymphocytes.

Examination of the role of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) in gene expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Project description:To investigate the potential role of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) in gene expression, we created stable shRNA scrambled control and PAD2 knockdown MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. After validating the specific knockdown of PAD2 at the mRNA and protein level, we utilized an Agilent microarray platform to compare the gene expression profile of the two cell lines to generate a candidate list of genes regulated by PAD2. Control and PAD2 knockdown cells were created by stably transfecting shRNA constructs into MCF-7 cells. Stable cells were selected using puromycin and knockdown validate at the mRNA and protein level. Microarray data represents 4 independent biological replicates contain control and PAD2 knockdown samples.

Gene expression variation in mediastinal (pulmonary-draining) lymph nodes of heaves-affected horses versus controls

Project description:We undertook gene expression microarray experiments to identify genes that are differentially expressed in heaves-affected horses versus matched controls. Mediastinal (pulmonary-draining) lymph nodes were sterilely obtained from affected and control horses, dissected, and frozen at -80oC. RNA was extracted from these tissues for downstream applications. These experiments utilized a commercially available Agilent horse array that featured >43,000 probes on a 4x44k array format. Mediastinal lymph node RNA from seven heaves-affected horses was compared to matching RNA from healthy, normal control horses.

Gene expression variation in horse placental and fetal tissue, and resting and stimulated horse lymphocytes [Agilent-018932]

Project description:We undertook gene expression microarray experiments to identify genes that are differentially expressed in different placental and fetal tissue, and resting and Pokeweed Mitogen (PWM) stimulated horse lymphocytes. Conceptus tissues were dissected to obtain chorionic girdle, chorion, and fetal tissue. Freshly isolated horse peripheral blood lymphocytes were split and harvested immediately, or stimulated with PWM and harvested over a five day period. These experiments utilized a custom Agilent horse array designed in house that featured >14,000 probes on an 8x15k array format. Several genes were selected from the results for validation by quantitative real-time PCR. QPCR results matched the microarray results very closely. Four Day 33-35 chorionic girdle RNAs were compared to matching chorion RNAs, and fetal tissue from two of the conceptuses. Gene expression in resting lymphocytes was compared to gene expression in PWM treated lymphocytes.

Comparison of gene expression in wild type Drosophila testes with various meiotic arrest mutants

Project description:The expression of a very large number of genes changes as male germ cells pass through differentiation into spermatids and then sperm. Much of this transcriptional programme requires the activity of the meiotic arrest genes. We extracted RNA from wild type testes, as well as aly mutants and Nxt1 mutants, and used microarrays to compare gene expression profiles. We dissected testes from 0-1 day old Drosophila males, taking care to remove accessory glands and ejaculatory ducts. The control sample expressed a tin-RNAi construct, and had normal testes. The aly mutant were homozygous for aly[5]. The Nxt1 mutants were Nxt1[z2-0488]/Nxt1[DG05102].

New insights into the molecular mechanisms of 1,3-dinitrobenzene-induced testicular toxicity

Project description:Several studies have shown that 1,3-dinitrobenzene (DNB) causes injury to Sertoli cells and induces apoptosis in the surrounding germinal cells in male laboratory rats ; however, the mechanisms by which DNB functions are not well understood. In this context, we have conducted studies using standard parameters and molecular tools to better understand the pathogenesis of the testicular effects produced by DNB, as well as its mode of action. Wistar rats were orally exposed to 0.1-8 mg DNB/kg/day for 4 days. Testosterone concentrations were not affected at any dose level, but marked histopathological lesions in the testes were recorded at 4 mg/kg/day. Global transcriptomic analysis of rat testes revealed cell cycle and cell death as the major biological processes affected. In particular, we identified an alteration in the expression of genes associated with cell cycle progression (mitotic roles of polo-like kinase). Dinitrobenzene was administered in suspension to rats (7 weeks old at start of treatment) by oral gavage at a daily dose of 0 (control, 0.5% methylcellulose in sterilized water), 0.1, 1, and 4 mg/kg body weight, for 4 consecutive days. Dose-related changes in gene expression were determined in the testes using whole genome oligonucleotide microarrays.

Alteration of the expression and 17, 20 lyase activity of cytochrome P450 17-hydroxylase/17, 20 lyase and of the expression of other Leydig cells genes in the rat fetal testis directly exposed to Mono-ethyl hexyl phthalate in culture.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the direct mechanism(s) of action ofMono-(Ethyl-Hexyl) phthalate (MEHP) on the rat fetal testis with particular emphasis to Leydig cell steroidogenesis, by means of an in vitro system based on culture for 3 days of fetal testes from 14.5 days post-coïtum old rats. We first confirmed that an exposure to MEHP led to a dose-dependent decrease of testosterone and demonstrated that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production was also inhibited. We then demonstrated that in 10µM MEHP-exposed testis basal 17alpha-hydroxy-progesterone (17OHP) production was increased (+40%) while androstenedione levels decreased (-55%). Furthermore, the addition of the latter steroid but none of the other precursors rescued testosterone thus establishing further that MEHP specifically blocked steroidogenesis at the level of the 17,20 lyase activity of the P450c17 enzyme (CYP17), which converts 17OHP to androstenedione. Furthermore and accordingly, both levels of testicular CYP17 protein (western blot) and cyp17a1 gene (qPCR, microarrays) were found to decrease under MEHP exposure. The microarray analysis also showed that among the few other testicular genes cyp17a1 whose expression was inhibited by MEHP were the genes encoding for the Leydig cell insulin-like peptid 3 (INSL3), involved in the control of testicular descent, and for inhibin A (INHA), that regulates follicular-stimulating hormone secretion.Under in vitro conditions where MEHP is not metabolized and remains at low intratesticular concentration, our findings show in particular that this phthalate directly inhibits several important Leydig cell factors involved in testis development and function. Transcription profiling of rat fetal testes explants, vehicle or monoethylhexylphthalate (MEHP)-treated (1uM, 10uM) 3 condition experiment, 1-3 biological replicates per treatment. 2 technical replicates per sample.
