Project description:The study is relevant to an understanding of the forces that lead to sex differences in the brain. Many neural and psychiatric diseases affect men and women differently, so the understanding of sex differences in brain function impacts on our understanding of why the male and female brain differ in their susceptibility to disease. Using Affymetrix chicken arrays, we will measure the gene expression in male and female embryonic chicken liver to compare with previous studies of brain. Gene expression differs in the male and female embryonic chicken liver. Z-linked genes are expressed higher in males than females, in a manner similar to Z-linked genes in the brain. The comparison of brain and liver will demonstrate which sex differences are specific to brain and which are general. 20 male and 20 female chicken embryos will serve as source of brain tissue. In late stage embryos, we will remove the liver and extract total RNA. Four birds will comprise each individual sample. Thus, we will have 5 biologically independent male samples, and an equal number of female samples. Keywords: dose response

Project description:According to the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis, exposure to environmental stressors during early development can cause genetic, epigenetic, or functional changes in tissues that increase disease risk later in life. Atrazine (ATZ) is a commonly used pesticide that frequently contaminates rural and urban water sources at levels above the 3 ppb maximum contaminant level set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Exposure to ATZ is linked to endocrine disruption, cancer, changes in genome methylation, and alterations in neurochemistry and behavior. This study tests the hypothesis that embryonic exposure to ATZ results in sex-specific changes in behavior, the adult brain transcriptome, and adult body and brain pathology, according to the DOHaD hypothesis. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to 0, 0.3, 3, or 30 ppb (ppb; µg/L) ATZ during the period from fertilization through 72 hours post fertilization (hpf), and then were rinsed and raised to maturity with no further exposure. At 9 months post fertilization (mpf), a novel tank test, a light-dark box, and an open field test evaluated adult behavior. Transcriptomic analysis investigated ATZ related differences in gene expression and the brain was evaluated histopathologically for morphometric alterations in the area of the dorsal telencephalon, posterior tuberculum, and raphe populations. At 14 mpf, the body length, weight, and brain weight was measured to evaluate effects of ATZ on mature body and brain size. The 9 mpf adult behavioral tests found non-monotonic, sex-specific behavior changes, with male zebrafish having decreased activity and female zebrafish having increased signs of anxiety. Transcriptomic analysis identified sex-specific alterations, with females having altered expression of genes in pathways related to cancer and organismal injury and males having altered gene expression in organismal development and reproductive system development and function pathways. Morphometric analysis identified a decreased number of cells in male raphe populations and adult zebrafish also had non-monotonic, sex-specific alterations in body length, body weight, and brain weight. This results suggests that developmental exposure to ATZ does cause sex-specific alterations in adult neural function.

Project description:The study is relevant to an understanding of the forces that lead to sex differences in the brain and other somatic tissues. Many neural and psychiatric diseases affect men and women differently, so the understanding of sex differences in brain function impacts on our understanding of why the male and female brain differ in their susceptibility to disease. Using Affymetrix chicken arrays, we will measure the gene expression in male and female embryonic chicken heart, and compare to previous studies of brain and liver. Gene expression differs in the male and female embryonic chicken heart, liver, and brain. Higher expression of Z-chromosome genes in males is found in heart, liver and brain. Comparison of heart and brain will reveal brain-specific patterns of sex differences, and patterns that apply to multiple tissues. 20 male and 20 female chicken embryos will serve as source of heart tissue. In late stage embryos, we will remove the tissue and extract total RNA. Four birds will comprise each individual sample. Thus, we will have 5 biologically independent male samples, and an equal number of female samples. Keywords: dose response

Project description:Understanding the molecular basis of sex differences in neural response to acute hypoxic insult has profound implications for the effective prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke. Global hypoxic-ischemic induced neural damage has been studied recently under the well-controlled, non-invasive, reproducible conditions using zebrafish model. Our earlier report on sex difference in global acute hypoxia induced neural damage and recovery in zebrafish prompted us for comprehensive study on the mechanisms underlying the recovery. An omics approach for studying quantitative changes in brain proteome upon hypoxia insult following recovery was undertaken using iTRAQ-based LC-MS/MS approach. The results shed light on altered expression of many regulatory proteins in zebrafish brain upon acute hypoxia following recovery. The sex difference in differentially expressed proteins along with the proteins expressed in uniform direction in both the sexes was studied. Core expression analysis by Ingenuity Pathway analysis (IPA) showed a distinct sex difference in the disease function heatmap. Most of the upstream regulators obtained through IPA were validated at the transcriptional level. Translational upregulation of H3K9me3 in male led us to elucidate the mechanism of recovery by confirming transcriptional targets through ChIP-qPCR. The upregulation of H3K9me3 level in male at 4 hr post-hypoxia appears to affect the early neurogenic markers nestin, klf4 and sox2, which might explain the late recovery in male, compared to female. Acute hypoxia-induced sex-specific comparison of brain proteome led us to reveal many differentially expressed proteins, which can be further studied for the development of novel targets for better therapeutic strategy.
