Project description:We analyzed gene expression profiles of human testicular biopsies in men with idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia who underwent therapy with hCG/rFSH. Using new generation oligonucleotide microarray platform GeneChip® Human Gene 1.0 ST, we identified genes which could be potential prognostic biomarkers of azoospermia treatment. We analyzed 6 testicular biopsy samples with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. 3 of them were obtained from patients with NOA, who positively responded to hormonal therapy and 3 non-respoders.

Project description:The role of paracrine/autocrine factors in inflammation, immune response and tumor development is well established. There is also an evidence that some of the cytokines there involved may participate in the regulation of the male gonads. However, their involvement in pathogenesis of male infertility has not been well defined yet. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression levels of IL-1 family members, IL-6, IL-10, TNF family, SCF and c-kit in infertile patients with idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) compared to men with normal spermatogenesis We analyzed testicular biopsy specimens obtained from 16 patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and 4 with normal spermatogenesis using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST.

Project description:We analyzed gene expression profiles of human testicular biopsies in men with idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia. Using new generation oligonucleotide microarray platform GeneChipM-BM-. Human Gene 1.0 ST, we identified genes which could be potential biomarkers of azoospermia and molecular indicators that could determine a particular stage of impaired spermatogenesis. Thus, we shed light on genes which were had so far been weakly characterized and which were had never related to infertility before. These studies also included the comparative analysis of the hierarchical clustering of gene expression profile with histopathological data provided for azoospermic patients. We analyzed 31 testicular biopsy samples with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. 27 of them were obtained from patients with various types of NOA and 4 with normal spermatogenesis.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most frequent adult leukemia in western countries, is a clonal accumulation of mature B-lymphocytes and its natural history is yet unclear. By using sequencing and cellular biology approaches on a cohort of CLL patient samples, we show here that acquired CLL mutations are observed in hematopoietic multipotent progenitor fractions in the majority of patients. These early CLL mutations include recurrent inactivating mutations in NFKBIE (10.7%) and missense mutations in BRAF (3.6%) and EGR2 (8.3%). Functional analyses demonstrated that BRAF-G469R affects lymphoid differentiation and transforms the T-cell lineage in vivo. In addition, the EGR2 recurrent mutations were associated with transcriptional activation of EGR2 target genes in patients and cell cycle abnormality in cellular model. Our findings indicate that CLL may develop from an initial infra-clinic, pre-leukemic phase affecting immature hematopoietic cells. The aim of this study is to compare exome sequences from tumor cells and T-lymphocytes in order to predict somatic mutations in 24 CLL patients (17 IGHV-unmutated and 7 IGHV-mutated). Enriched exome fragments were subjected to massively parallel sequencing using HiSeq 2000 (Illumina).

Project description:Although piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play pivotal roles in spermatogenesis, little is known about piRNAs in the seminal plasma of infertile males. In this study, we systematically investigated the profiles of seminal plasma piRNAs in infertile males to identify piRNAs that are altered during infertility and evaluate their diagnostic value. Seminal plasma samples were obtained from 211 infertile patients (asthenozoospermia and azoospermia) and 91 fertile controls. High-throughput sequencing technology was employed to screen piRNA profiles in seminal plasma samples pooled from healthy controls and infertile patients. The results identified 61 markedly altered piRNAs in the infertile patient groups compared with the control group. Next, a quantitative RT-PCR assay was conducted in the training and validation sets to measure and confirm the concentrations of altered piRNAs. The results identified a panel of 5 piRNAs that were significantly decreased in the seminal plasma of infertile patients compared with healthy controls. The areas under the ROC curves for these piRNAs ranged from 0.796 to 0.996, suggesting that the diagnostic potential of these 5 piRNAs to distinguish asthenozoospermic and azoospermic individuals from healthy controls was high. In summary, this study identifies a panel of piRNAs that can accurately distinguish fertile from infertile males. This finding may provide pathophysiological clues that are involved in the development of infertility. Fresh samples were collected and stored at -80â??.Total RNA of seminal plasma were extracted and solexa sequencing was performed.

Project description:Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is highly conserved in metazoans. While many species eliminate paternal mtDNA during late sperm development to foster maternal inheritance, the regulatory mechanisms governing this process remain elusive. Through a large-scale genetic screen in Drosophila, we identified 47 mutant lines exhibiting substantial retention of mtDNA in mature sperm. We mapped one line to Poldip2, a gene predominantly expressed in the testis. Disruption of Poldip2 led to pronounced mtDNA retention in mature sperm and subsequent paternal transmission to progeny. Further investigation via imaging, biochemical analyses and ChIP assays revealed that POLDIP2 is a mitochondrial matrix protein capable of binding to mtDNA. Moreover, we uncovered that CLPX, a key component of the major mitochondrial protease, binds to POLDIP2 to co-regulate mtDNA elimination in Drosophila spermatids. This study shed light on the mechanisms underlying mtDNA removal during spermatogenesis, underscoring the pivotal role of this process in safeguarding maternal inheritance.

Project description:The fate of doubled genes, from allopolyploid or autopolyploid origin, is controlled at multiple levels within the central dogma: gene loss or silencing, neo- and/or sub functionalization, inter genomic transfer, allele dominance/co-dominance, differences in transcription/translation efficiency, post translational modifications… These regulatory processes through evolution have caused a plethora of genotype x environment interactions displayed in the modern day phenotypes. The study of non-model crops is challenging but solutions are emerging. More and more, one gets insight into the tolerance mechanisms of a specific genotype. By integrating transcriptomics into our proteomic data, we studied the genetic diversity of an allopolyploid ABB banana, a tolerant genotype, and compared it to two different sensitive AAA genotypes. The root growth of the ABB cultivar was 60 % higher under mild osmotic stress. 234,000 spectra were aligned and quantified, resulting in 2,753 identified root proteins. 383 gene loci displayed genotype specific differential expression whereof 252 showed at least one Single Amino Acid Polymorphism (SAAP). The homeoallelic contribution was assessed using transcriptome read alignment, thus revealing each allele contribution at the RNA level. This provides insight in the structure and the organization of the triploid genome. In the ABB cultivar, allele expressions are supposed to follow a 1/3 and 2/3 pattern. We found that many genes deviated from this expectation and we show that 32 gene loci even displayed a 100% read preference for the allele that was unique for the ABB tolerant genotype , suggesting that the presence of unique alleles and homoelog expression bias is correlated to the observed phenotype.

Project description:We exploited six paired pre-treatment and post-chemotherapy circulating tumour cell patient-derived explant (CDX) models from donors with extensive stage SCLC to investigate changes at disease progression after chemotherapy. WES data from the patient germ line and from the biopsy of the solid tumour is reported in this submission and RNASeq data from these models is reported previously (E-MTAB-8465 - RNA of Small Cell Lung Cancer Circulating Tumour Cells Derived Explants). Both chemo naive and progression models were taken from patients and their drug sensitivity tested within the mouse models. Blood samples were taken from patients, and RosetteSep CTC Enrichment was used to implant these cells into mice. Tumours were allowed to grow, then extracted and re-implanted into second and third generations of mice, before finally being subjected to molecular profiling.
