Effect of male sex-category on gene expression in the m. longissimus dorsi (LD) and m. semispinalis capitis (SSC)

ABSTRACT: RNA- sequencing was performed to compare the effect of male sex category, i.e. entire males (EM), surgical castrates (SC), and immunocastrates (IC) on differential gene expression in LD and SSC muscles. Extracted RNA from 6 randomly selected animals of each sex category and muscle were pooled together and used for library preparation and sequencing. A total of 71 and 36 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in LD and SSC, respectively (|log2(fold change) >1| and -log10(q-value) <0.005). In LD, 36 DEGs were detected between EM and IC. 29 DEGs were detected between EM and SC and only 6 DEGs were detected when comparing IC and SC. In SSC, the number of DEGs was lower compared to LD. Only 8 DEGs were detected when either EM and IC or EM and SC were compared. The number of DEGs between IC and SC was higher for SCC than for LD (20 vs. 6). In LD, downregulated genes predominated in EM compared to either IC or SC and were mainly associated with skeletal muscle tissue development, skeletal cell differentiation, and negative regulation of biological/cellular processes. When comparing IC and SC, predominantly upregulated genes were observed, and the enriched GO terms were related to various biological processes, including regulation of fibrinolysis, apoptosis, energy homeostasis, fatty acid oxidation, and behaviour. In SSC, significantly enriched GO terms were found only for predominantly upregulated genes in IC compared to SC and were related to the regulation of energy homeostasis and fatty acid oxidation, response to hormones/stimuli, and regulation of cellular ketone metabolic process.

Project description:The survival of transplant kidneys using deceased donors (DD) is inferior to living donors (LD). In this study, we conducted a whole-transcriptome expression analysis of 24 human kidney biopsies paired 30 minutes and 3 months post-transplantation using DD and LD. The transcriptome profile was found significantly different between two time points regardless of donor types. There were 446 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between DD and LD at 30 minutes and 146 DEGs at 3 months, with 25 genes common to both time points. These DEGs reflected donor injury and acute immune responses associated with inflammation and cell death as early as at 30 minutes, which could be a precious window of potential intervention. DEGs at 3 months mainly represented the changes of adaptive immunity, immunosuppressive treatment, remodeling or fibrosis via different networks and signaling pathways. The expression level of 20 DEGs involved in kidney diseases, and 10 genes found dysregulated at 30 minutes were validated by quantitative PCR (qPCR) in the 24 samples analyzed by microarray as well as in a validation cohort of 33 unpaired allograft biopsies. Their expression levels were found correlated with renal function and histology at 12 months, suggesting they could be potential biomarkers to predict kidney function. This analysis revealed that SERPINA3, SLPI and CBF is upregulated at 30 minutes in DD compared to LD, whereas FTCD and TASPN7 are up-regulated at both time points; at 3 months VCAN and TIMP1 are up-regulated, whereas FOS is decreased in both donors. Taken together, divergent transcriptomic signatures between DD and LD, and changed by the time post-transplantation, might contribute to different allograft survival of two type kidney donors. Some DEGs such as FTCD and TASPN7 could be novel biomarkers not only for timely diagnosis, but also early for precise genetic intervention at donor preservation, implantation and post-transplantation, in particular to effectively improve the quality and survival of DD.

Project description:Background: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) self-compatibility (SC) is defined as self-pollen tubes that can penetrate their own stigma, elongate in the style and fertilize their own ovules. Self-incompatibility (SI) is defined as self-pollen tubes that are prevented from developing in the style. To determine the influence of gene expression on style self-pollination, a transcriptome-wide comparative analysis of SC and SI tomato unpollinated/pollinated styles was performed using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data. Results: Transcriptome profiles of 24-h unpollination (UP) and self-pollination (P) styles from SC and SI tomato species were generated using high-throughput next generation sequencing. From the comparison of SC self-pollinated and unpollinated styles, 1341 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, of which 753 were downregulated and 588 were upregulated. From the comparison of SI self-pollinated and unpollinated styles, 804 DEGs were identified, of which 215 were downregulated and 589 were upregulated. Nine gene ontology (GO) terms were enriched significantly in SC and 78 GO terms were enriched significantly in SI. A total of 105 enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were identified in SC and 80 enriched KEGG pathways were identified in SI, among which “Cysteine and methionine metabolism pathway” and “Plant hormone signal transduction pathway” were significantly enriched in SI. Conclusions: This study is the first global transcriptome-wide comparative analysis of SC and SI tomato unpollinated/pollinated styles. Advanced bioinformatic analysis of DEGs uncovered the pathways of “Cysteine and methionine metabolism” and “Plant hormone signal transduction”, which are likely to play important roles in the control of pollen tubes growth in SI species. 24-h unpollination (UP) and self-pollination (P) styles mRNA profiles from SC and SI tomato species were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform.
