Project description:The small G-protein KRAS is crucial for mediating gonadotropin-induced events associated with ovulation. However, constitutive expression of KrasG12D in granulosa cells disrupted normal follicle development leading to the persistence of abnormal follicle-like structures containing non-mitotic cells. To determine what factors mediate this potent effect of KrasG12D, gene profiling analyses were done. We also analyzed KrasG12D;Cyp19-Cre and KrasG12D;Pgr-Cre mutant mouse models that express Cre prior to or after the initiation of granulosa cell differentiation, respectively. KrasG12D induced cell cycle arrest in granulosa cells of the KrasG12D;Cyp19-Cre mice but not in the KrasG12D;Pgr-Cre mice, documenting the cell context specific effect of KrasG12D. Expression of KrasG12D silenced the Kras gene, reduced cell cycle activator genes and impaired expression of granulosa cell and oocyte specific genes. Conversely, levels of PTEN and phosphorylated p38MAPK increased markedly in the mutant granulosa cells. Because disrupting Pten in granulosa cells leads to increased proliferation and survival, Pten was disrupted in the KrasG12D mutant mice. The Pten/Kras mutant mice were infertile but lacked GCTs. By contrast, the Ptenfl/fl;KrasG12D;Amhr2-Cre mice developed aggressive ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cell tumors that did not occur in the Ptenfl/fl;KrasG12D;Cyp19-Cre or Ptenfl/fl;KrasG12D;Pgr-Cre mouse strains. These data document unequivocally that Amhr2-Cre is expressed in and mediates allelic recombination of oncogenic genes in OSE cells. That KrasG12D/Pten mutant granulosa cells do not transform but rather undergo cell cycle arrest indicates that they resist the oncogenic insults of Kras/Pten by robust self-protecting mechanisms that silence the Kras gene and elevate PTEN and phospho-p38MAPK. Experiment Overall Design: Whole ovaries were collected from 26-day-old wild type mice, 26-day-old K-ras conditional mutant mice and 3-month-old K-ras conditional mutant mice. The gene expression profiles of these samples were compared using microarray method.

Project description:Reproductive aging is one of the earliest human aging phenotypes, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to a decline in oocyte quality. However, it is not known which mitochondrial metabolic processes are critical for oocyte quality maintenance with age. To understand how mitochondrial processes contribute to C. elegans oocyte quality, we characterized the mitochondrial proteomes of young and aged wild-type and long-reproductive daf-2 mutants. The mitochondrial proteomic profiles of young wild-type and daf-2 worms are similar and share upregulation of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism pathway enzymes. Reduction of bcat-1 shortens reproduction, elevates mitochondrial ROS levels, and shifts mitochondrial localization. Moreover, bcat-1 knockdown decreases daf-2’s oocyte quality and reduces reproductive capability, indicating the importance of this pathway in the maintenance of oocyte quality with age. Importantly, we can delay oocyte quality deterioration and extend reproduction in wild-type animals both by bcat-1 overexpression and by supplementing with Vitamin B1, a cofactor needed for BCAA metabolism.

Project description:Short nascent strands purification coupled to next-generation sequencing allowed us to identify replication origins on human genome in an extensive way, by mapping replication origins in 4 different cell types, IMR-90 fibroblasts, hESC H9 cells, iPSC Th Cl-4 cells and HeLa cells. We demonstrated the existence of a cell type-specific reprogrammable signature of the cell identity revealed by specific efficiencies of conserved origin positions and not by the selection of cell-type specific subsets of origins. 4 different cell types were analyzed. For each cell types, 2 different biological replicates of short nascent strands at replication origins were purified. Each SNS sample was sequencing at least one time.

Project description:Amhr2 is as a specific biomarker for mesothelial cells. In this study, we investigated the impact of Amhr2 modulation on gene expression by overexpressing it in Met5a cells, a human mesothelial cell line. Additionally, we assessed the transcriptomic profile of tumor growth in Amhr2 knock-out mice. These experiments shed light on the role of Amhr2 in mesothelial cell function and its potential implications in tumor development

Project description:The interaction between germ cells and somatic cells in the ovaries plays a crucial role in establishing the follicle reserve in mammals. Turner syndrome (TS) predominantly occurs in females who have either a partial or complete loss of one of their X chromosomes. Our understanding of the role granulosa cells (GCs) play in TS disease progression and pathogenesis remains limited. Here, we elevated GC differentiation efficiency up to the level of 80% differentiated cells from iPSCs. In our attempt to replicate the differentiation process of embryonic granulosa cells, we observed that specific genes—GATA4, FOXL2, AMHR2, CYP19A1, and FSH—were downregulated in Turner syndrome-derived granulosa cells (TS-GCs). Additionally, dysregulation of the cell cycle was observed in TS-GCs. To reveal the endogenous defects in the TS-GCs, we conducted a comparison of the global transcriptome patterns between differentiated granulosa cells derived from iPSCs in both healthy and Turner syndrome groups. The apelin/APJ pathway displayed a differential between the healthy and TS groups. Supplementation of apelin ligands and activation of apelin/APJ downstream signals via Akt/PKB restored the cell cycle progression and marker gene expression. We hypothesize that during early embryonic development failures in apelin/APJ signaling in GCs in Turner syndrome patients leads to abnormalities in ovarian development and consequently to early loss of oocytes and infertility.

Project description:The OCT4 transcription factor is involved in many cellular processes, including development, reprogramming, maintaining pluripotency and differentiation. Synthetic OCT4 mRNA was recently used (in conjunction with other reprogramming factors) to generate human induced pluripotent stem cells. Here, we discovered that BAY 11-7082 (BAY11) could significantly increase the expression of OCT4 following transfection of synthetic mRNA (synRNA) into adult human skin cells. Importantly, the increased levels of OCT4 resulted in significantly increased expression of genes downstream of OCT4, including the previously identified SPP1, DUSP4 and GADD45G. We also identified a novel OCT4 downstream target gene SLC16A9 which demonstrated significantly increased expression following elevation of OCT4 levels. This small molecule-based stabilization of synthetic mRNA expression may have multiple applications for future cell-based research and therapeutics. 4 samples (untreated H9 hESCs, untreated HUF1 skin fibroblasts, HUF1 cells treated with OCT4 synthetic mRNA, HUF1 cells treated with OCT4 synthetic mRNA and BAY11) were analyzed with 2 biological replicates per sample.

Project description:The objective of the study was to determine the cause of anovulation in transgenic mice with conditional over-activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway in the ovary. In Amhr2(cre/+)-SmoM2 transgenic mice, a constitutively active version of the hedgehog signal transducer, smoothened (SMO), known as SMOM2, is expressed in the ovary following cre-mediated recombination. The hypothesis tested is that changes in the neonatal ovary caused by over-activation of hedgehog signaling leads to the life-long anovulation phenotype in transgenic mice. Microarrays were used to examine differences in gene expression in ovaries of two day old wild-type mice (Amhr2(+/+)-SmoM2) and transgenic mice (Amhr2(cre/+)-SmoM2) in which the hedgehog signaling pathway was conditionally over-activated in the ovary. Two microarrays were performed. RNA samples were prepared from ovaries of 8 Amhr2(+/+)-SmoM2 control mice and 8 Amhr2(cre/+)-SmoM2 mutant mice on day two of age. RNA quality was assessed by measurement of ribosomal RNA on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.
