Project description:We showed that, male E. pela, despite displaying complete metamorphosis similar to holometabolous insects, formed the sister group to hemimetabolous female E. pela and also clustered with Hemiptera. The gene expression profile and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the two sexes engaged in distinct developmental programs. In particular, female development appeared to prioritize the expression of genes related to cellular, metabolic, developmental processes, and anatomical structure formation in nymphs. In contrast, male larval development is characterized by the significant down-regulation of genes involved in chitin, the respiratory system, and neurons. The results also suggest that pathways involved in fat metabolism and storage are differently used between the sexes.

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster undergoes a complete metamorphosis, during which time the larval male and female forms transition into sexually dimorphic, reproductive adult forms. To understand this complex morphogenetic process at a molecular-genetic level, we performed whole genome microarray analyses. Genes were identified that were expressed during metamorphosis in both somatic and germline tissues of males and females. Additionally, genes were identified that display sex-specific differences in abundance in both of these tissues at discrete times during metamorphosis. Keywords: time course; wild type; genetic modification; Gene expression was examined at five time points during metamorphosis: 0, 24, 48, 71, and 96 hr After Puparium Formation (APF). Gene expression was examined separately in males and females for both wild type pupae and tudor (tud) progeny. tud progeny have genetically ablated germline tissues. All samples were labeled with Cy5 and compared against a common reference sample labeled with Cy3. The reference sample contained male and female wild type pupae from all stages of metamorphosis. All experiments were conducted in triplicate.

Project description:This experiment depicts RNA-Seq datasets from wild type XY male and XX female, as well as sex chromosomally abnormal XO female (Turner syndrome) and XX male (Klinefelter variant syndrome) mouse germ cells before, during and after germline reprogramming. This range from E6.5 epiblasts, fluorescence activated cell sorted (FACS) highly purified populations of germ cells (EGFP-positive) and gonadal somatic cells (EGFP-negative) from both sexes at E9.5, E11.5, E12.5, E14.5, E15.5, E16.5 and E18.5, as well as purified spermatogonia and leptotene / zygotene spermatocytes from P2 and P11 males, respectively. Non-gonadal somatic cell control datasets were generated from male and female E14.5 liver and tail. Germ cells from individual embryos were processed to make cDNA libraries and served as biological replicates. We generated in total 184 libraries for our analysis from 60 separate conditions.

Project description:Males and females exhibit differences in the incidence of many major diseases including auto-immune diseases, hepatocellular carcinoma, diabetes, and osteoporosis, which all have important inflammatory components in their etiology. Glucocorticoids are the primary physiological anti-inflammatory hormone in all mammals and synthetic derivatives of these hormones are widely prescribed as anti-inflammatory agents irrespective of gender. Surprisingly we report a marked sexually dimorphic regulation of gene expression by glucocorticoids in the rat liver. Eight distinct patterns of glucocorticoid regulated genes were identified and two revealed genes that respond to glucocorticoid treatment in both sexes in opposite directions (anti-correlated genes. We also identified gender-specific groups of genes regulated by glucocorticoids. Pathways analysis identified sex-specific glucocorticoid regulated gene expression in several canonical pathways that have been implicated in human disease in which disease susceptibility is sex-biased. For example, comparison of number of genes involved in inflammatory disorders between sexes, revealed 84 additional glucocorticoid responsive genes in the male rat. Our data suggests that glucocorticoids thorough sexually-dimorphic regulation of gene expression modulate gender specific homeostatic functions in male and female liver. Adult males and females adrenalectomized Sprague-Dawley rats (8-10 weeks of age) (females Distrous 1) were treated with vehicle (Phosphate Buffered Saline – 400 µl) or Dexamethasone (1mg/Kg i.p.) purchased from Steraloids (Newport, RI). Liver was harvested 6 hours after treatment and kept in RNA later solution at 4oC over night. Samples were frozen and stored at -80oC. Three replicate microarrays were completed for each group (male vehicle, male dexamethasone, female vehicle and female dexamethasone) for a total of 12 microarrays. Each microarray was hybridized using a pooled RNA sample, and each pool was created from equal amounts of total RNA from three independent RNA samples, representing individual animals (n=9 animals per group). This approach provides appropriate biological replication within the constraints of a limiting number of microarrays (C. Kendziorski, R. A. Irizarry, K. S. Chen, J. D. Haag, M. N. Gould, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102, 4252 Mar 22, 2005).

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster undergoes a complete metamorphosis, during which time the larval male and female forms transition into sexually dimorphic, reproductive adult forms. To understand this complex morphogenetic process at a molecular-genetic level, we performed whole genome microarray analyses. In somatic tissues at 48 hour After Puparium Formation (APF), 173 sex-biased transcripts that likely function downstream of the doublesex (dsx) branch of the sex determination hierarchy were identified. The mode of regulation of the sex-specific isoforms of DSX (DSX-F and DSX-M) was examined. It was determined that for most downstream targets, DSX-F and DSX-M regulate gene expression in the same manner, but that one isoform acts as a more potent regulator. Keywords: wild type; genetic modification All microarrays were dual channel with direct comparisons of male versus female or wild type versus mutant. All samples consist of whole body pupae collected at 48 hour After Puparium Formation (APF). For each experiment, four biological replicates were analyzed in a dye-swap design.

Project description:Transcriptional control by gonadal hormone nuclear receptors is the foundation for sex-dependent physiological processes, including pain. Our current findings point to sex-dependent translation control as a new mechanism for sexual dimorphisms in pain. We show that hindpaw or spinal administration of exogenous prolactin (PRL) induces thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia in a female-selective fashion. Unexpectedly, PCR and transcriptomic analysis of hindpaw and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissues reveal no differences in PRL receptor (Prlr) mRNA between sexes. Variance in overall hindpaw and DRG transcriptomes between females and males were minor. We find that Prlr mRNA and protein is mainly expressed by peptidergic nociceptors as shown by profiling using Prlr reporter mice and electrophysiology, but there are far more peptidergic neurons with functional Prlr in females than in males. In line with this, exogenous PRL increased excitability only in female neurons. Moreover, in male DRG neurons, 6-24 hr estrogen exposure establishes PRL sensitivity in Prlr mRNA+ male neurons that do not show PRL responses under other conditions. PRL-induced behavioral hypersensitivity as well as sensitivity to PRL in female DRG neurons can be ablated by treatment with cap-dependent translation inhibitor 4EGI-1. Spinal cord immunohistochemistry of Prlr reporter mice highlight that Prlr protein is only found in female DRG neurons, but Prlr mRNA localizes to central terminals of male and female sensory neurons. Based on these findings, we propose a novel mechanism for sex-dependent regulation Prlr mRNA translation that renders female DRG neurons uniquely responsive to PRL.

Project description:To identify genes that are downstream of gonadal hormones and that control dimorphic behaviors, we used a MEEBO array platform to profile gene expression of adult male and female hypothalamus against a whole brain reference sample. The experimental design allowed us to identify genes that are upreguated in the hypothalamus compared to the whole brain and are dimorphically expressed between the two sexes. In situ hybridization of candiate genes were carried out to validate the dimorphic expression of these genes in the hypothalamus. Array results were used to create a list of genes to screen by in situ hybridization. For each normalization method, a list of genes that were upregulated in the male or the female was created, and a gene had to be on a set number of these individual normalization lists in order to be considered for screening. A similar method was used to create a list of hypothalamic upregulated genes. The final screening list was comprised of genes that were upregulated in the male or female as well as in the hypothalamus. If in situ hybridization proved that the gene was upregulated in the male or female brain, we concluded that that transcript was differentially expressed. No one normalization method was weighted over another, and the array results were used to create a screening list for in situ hybridizations.
