Expression changes in the XY fetal gonads due to iron deficiency

ABSTRACT: Iron plays an important role in epigenome regulation by acting as a cofactor.We developed a method to enrich pre-Sertoli (Nr5a1 positive(+)) cells from mouse embryonic gonads carrying Nr5a1-hCD271 transgene. To examine mRNA expression in pre-Sertoli cells treated with the iron chelator Deferoxamine (Dfo), pre-Sertoli cells were purified and introduced into RNA seq analyses. As a result, we found that the expression of many genes, including Sry, changes due to iron deficiency.

Project description:Iron is critical for the survival of both the host and pathogens. Dysregulated iron metabolism is reported in tuberculosis patients, and therefore represents an opportunity for developing host-directed therapeutics. In this study, antimycobacterial properties of an iron chelator, i.e. Deferoxamine (DFO) and its impact on the transcriptomic changes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and its impact on limiting host iron in C57BL/6 mice were explored. A group of mice received ferric carboxymaltose to create an iron overload condition and were aerosol infected with H37Rv Mtb. Mtb-infected mice received isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) with or without DFO for tissue CFU assay, liver metabolite, iron quantification using GC-MS and ICP-MS, respectively. DFO showed comparable antimycobacterial properties like INH in in-vitro conditions. DFO-treatment deregulated 137 transcript levels in Mtb and majority were involved in stress response, encoding iron-containing proteins and downregulation of genes involved in essential vitamins and amino acid metabolism. Iron-overloaded mice exhibited significantly higher tissue mycobacterial burden at two weeks post-infection and the efficacy of INH and RIF were compromised. Iron chelation by DFO significantly reduced the tissue mycobacterial burden at 4 weeks post-treatment and, as an adjunct to INH and RIF, significantly lowered lung mycobacterial load within the first and second weeks of treatment compared to the group that received only INH and RIF. The intracellular pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in the lung CD4+ T-cells of INH and RIF-treated groups with or without DFO were found to be similar. DFO with RIF and INH treatment significantly altered liver arginine biosynthesis, which has a direct role in neutralizing ammonia and has an immune-supportive role. Currently, DFO is used for treating acute iron toxicity and in iron-overloaded thalassemic patients and holds promise as adjunct therapeutics for tuberculosis.
