Distinct transcriptional profiles of the female, male and finasteride-induced feminized male anogenital region in rat fetuses

ABSTRACT: A short anogential distance (AGD) in males is a marker for incomplete masculinization and a predictor of adverse effects on male reproductive health. For this reason, AGD is used to assess the endocrine disrupting potential of chemicals for risk assessment purposes. The molecular mechanisms underpinning this chemically induced shortening of the AGD, however, remains unclear. Although it is clear that AR-mediated signaling is critical, evidence also suggest the involvement of other signaling pathways. This study present the first global transcriptional profile of the anogenital region in male rats with chemically induced short AGD, also including comparison to normal male and female control animals. The anti-androgenic drug Finasteride (10mg/kg bw/day) was used to induce short AGD by exposing pregnant rats at gestation days (GD) 7-21. The AGD was 37% shorter in exposed male offspring compared to control males. Transcriptomics analysis on anogenital tissues at GD21 revealed a sexually dimorphic transcriptional profile. More than 350 genes were found to be differentially expressed between the three groups. The expression pattern of four genes of particular interest (Esr1, Padi2, Wnt2 and Sfrp4) was verified by RT-qPCR analyses. Our transcriptomics profiles provide a stepping-stone for future studies aimed at characterizing the molecular events governing development of the anogenital region, as well as describing the detailed Adverse Outcome Pathways for short AGD; an accepted biomarker of endocrine effects for chemical regulation.

Microarray analysis of rat testis following combined fetal and postnatal DBP exposure

Project description:Provided later Pregnant Fisher 344 rats will be purchased from Charles River Laboratories, Inc. and delivered to CIIT on gestational day (GD) 7 (GD0 = day first vaginal plug positive). At gestational day 12 (GD12), the dams will be exposed once/day until GD20 to 50 mg/kg dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in corn oil vehicle via oral gavage. Each dose group will contain 4-6 vehicle control or phthalate treated dams. Groups of animals will be sacrificed at GD20, postnatal day (PND) 35, and PND90 for endpoint analysis. At GD20, treated and control animals will be examined for various endpoints including body weight, testicular histopathology, gene expression profile via microarray analysis, and anogenital distance (AGD). AGD (at parturition; PND1) and nipple number/location (at PND14 and day of sacrifice) will be determined on animals in the postnatal groups. At PND35 or 90, one male from each in utero corn oil vehicle or DBP exposed group will receive a second gavage of either corn oil or 500 mg/kg DBP. 6 hours after the second gavage, the following endpoints will be examined: 1) testis histopathology; 2) spermatid head quantification (PND90 only); 3) testis and body weights; 5) genome-wide gene expression (via microarray); and 6) germ cell apoptosis (TUNEL assay).

3'DGE-seq analysis of fetal rat testis reveals limited transcriptional changes after exposure to azole fungicides triticonazole and flusilazole despite adverse in vivo effects

Project description:Purpose: Azoles are widely used antifungal agents. However, many azoles have been shown to have endocrine disrupting properties including triticonazole and flusilazole that we previously showed have adverse effects in vivo. The purpose of this study was to elaborate on how flusilazole and triticonazole can disrupt male reproductive development by different mechanisms, and to investigate whether feminization effects such as short AGD in males can also be detected at the transcript level in fetal testes. Methods: Testicular mRNA profiles of fetal rats at gestational day 17 or 21 exposed to vehicle, flusilazole, and triticonazole during gestation (from day 7-21) were generated by 3'digital gene expression sequencing, qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan assays and testis histology was assesed by H&E staining and bright field microscopy, protein expression was assesed by immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence microcopy. Results: We identified 17,350 transcripts in the fetal rat testes. 9 transcripts showed differential expression between control and flusilazole or triticonazole exposed rats, with a fold change ≥1.5 and p value <0.05. Altered expression of 2 genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR. Testis histology was normal. Conclusions: Sequencing revealed few transcriptional changes in the fetal rat testes exposed to flusilazole or triticonazole. This suggests that flusilazole may be directly targeting steroidogenic enzyme activity in the testis at the protein level, whereas triticonazole may primarily disturbe androgen signaling in androgen-sensitive tissues. Expression of Calb2 and Gsta2 was altered by flusilazole but not triticonazole and may pinpoint novel pathways of disrupted testicular steroid synthesis. Our findings have wider implication for how we integrate omics data in chemical testing frameworks, including selection of non-animal test methods and building of Adverse Outcome Pathways for regulatory purposes.

The effects of simazine, a chlorotriazine herbicide, on expression of genes in developing male Xenopus laevis

Project description:Numerous studies have shown simazine produces adverse effects on growth, development, immune and endocrine system functions in a wide range of species, few describe gene expression changes concurrent with simazine-induced changes in phenotype during development. In this report, developing Xenopus laevis tadpoles were chronically exposed to simazine for 90 days at dosages of 0.1, 1, 10 and 100µg/L. Affymetrix microarrays and Taqman RT-PCR were used to define gene expression changes in male tadpoles exposed to 100µg/L atrazine.

Male infertility G. fossarum - While numerous examples of male reproductive disorders have been reported in vertebrates, invertebrate’s organisms have been considerably less studied, despite their ecological importance

Project description:While numerous examples of male reproductive disorders have been reported in vertebrates, invertebrate’s organisms have been considerably less studied, despite their ecological importance. The aim of this study is to investigate male infertility in the amphipod Gammarus fossarum, a sentinel species in freshwater risk assessment. Thus in laboratory, we exposed male gammarids to different concentrations of three different xenobiotics: cadmium, and two potent arthropods endocrine-disruptor chemicals, methoxyfenozide and pyriproxyfen. Afterward, we investigated alterations of reproductive health by sperm quality markers and proteomes dynamics on the male reproductive tissue by nanoLC-MS/MS for evidencing proteins modulated by toxic exposure.

Novel male-biased expression in paralogs of the aphid slilmfast nutrient amino acid transporter expansion

Project description:A major goal of molecular evolutionary biology is to understand the fate and consequences of duplicated genes. In this context, aphids are particularly intriguing because the newly sequenced pea aphid genome is characterized by extraordinarily high levels of lineage-specific gene duplication relative to other insect genomes. While analyzing the results of a microarray comparing gene expression between male, sexual female and asexual female Myzus persicae aphids, we unexpectedly found duplicated nutrient amino acid transporters highly upregulated in males. These transporters, homologous to the Drosophila slimfast, belong to an aphid-specific gene family expansion in which other paralogs are thought to have functionally diverged to fill a role in mediating interactions between aphids and their nutrititonally required bacterial symbiont. The lack of a known male role for slimfast in other insects suggests that aphid slimfast paralogs have been retained as a result of functional divergence to fill multiple novel functional roles in symbiosis and in males. Two biological replicates, four treatments (males, asexual females at long day, asexual females at short day, sexual females), dye flip
