Male and female embryonic chicken hearts (arnol-affy-chick-445639)

ABSTRACT: 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

Male and female embryonic chicken livers (arnol-affy-chick-445002)

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

Sexually dimorphic gene expression in the chick brain at stage 29

2008-09-18 | GSE12268 | GEO

Transcription profiling of chicken brain at stage 29 to investigate sexually dimorphic gene expression

Project description:Biological bases for sexual differences in the brain exist in a wide range of vertebrate species, including the chicken. We examined whether sexually dimorphic gene expression in the brain precedes gonadal differentiation. Using the Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Chicken Genome Array, we identified many female- and male-enhanced genes that are differentially expressed in sex-specific brains from stage 29 chicken embryos. We postulate that these genes have potential roles in the sexual differentiation of neural function and development in chickens. Experiment Overall Design: All analyses were performed in triplicate. The Affymetrix data from male and female brain samples at stage 29 were generated. The male and female brain samples by genetic sexing were pooled and homogenized. Pooled samples ranged from 5 to 8 embryos. 4g of total RNA from the pooled samples was used for labeling. Probe synthesis from total RNA samples, hybridization, detection, and scanning were performed according to standard protocols from Affymetrix.

Sex-biased miRNA expression in mouse, opossum and chicken

Project description:Sexual dimorphism depends on sex-biased gene expression, but the contributions of microRNAs (miRNAs) have not been globally assessed. We therefore produced an extensive small RNA sequencing dataset to analyse male and female miRNA expression profiles in mouse, opossum and chicken. Our analyses uncovered numerous cases of somatic sex-biased miRNA expression, especially in the mouse heart and liver. Sex-biased expression is explained by miRNA-specific regulation, including sex-biased chromatin accessibility at promoters, rather than piggybacking of intronic miRNAs on sex-biased protein-coding genes. In mouse, but not opossum and chicken, sex bias is coordinated across tissues such that autosomal testis-biased miRNAs tend to be somatically male-biased, whereas autosomal ovary-biased miRNAs are female-biased, possibly due to broad hormonal control. In chicken, which has a Z/W sex chromosome system, expression output of genes on the Z chromosome is expected to be male-biased, since there is no global dosage compensation mechanism that restores expression in ZW females after almost all genes on the W chromosome decayed. Nevertheless, we found that the dominant liver miRNA, miR-122-5p, is Z-linked but expressed in an unbiased manner, due to the unusual retention of a W-linked copy. Another Z-linked miRNA, the male-biased miR-2954-3p, shows conserved preference for dosage-sensitive genes on the Z chromosome, based on computational and experimental data from chicken and zebra finch, and acts to equalise male-to-female expression ratios of its targets. Unexpectedly, our findings thus establish miRNA regulation as a novel gene-specific dosage compensation mechanism.

Molecular sexual identity of chicken in vitro derived pre-gonadal primordial germ cells

Project description:In poultry, in vitro derived primordial germ cells (PGCs) represent an important tool for management of genetic resources. However, several studies have highlighted sexual differences exhibited by PGCs through in vitro steps, which may compromise their reproductive capacities. To understand this phenomenon, we compared the proteome of pregonadal chicken male (ZZ) and female (ZW) PGCs expanded in vitro by quantitative proteomic analysis using a GeLC-MS/MS strategy. The proteins found to be differentially abundant in chicken male and female PGCs indicated their early sexual identity. Many of the proteins up-accumulated in male PGCs were encoded by genes strongly enriched in the sexual chromosome Z. This suggests that the known lack of dosage compensation of the transcription of Z-linked genes between sexes persists at protein level in PGCs, and that this may be a key factor of their autonomous sex differentiation. Male and female PGCs up-accumulated protein sets were associated with differential biological processes, and contained proteins biologically relevant for male and female germ cell development respectively. This study presents first evidence on early predetermined sex specific cell fate of chicken PGCs that will help to understand their sexual physiological specificities and enable more precise sex-specific adaptation of in vitro culture conditions.

Sex-dimorphic gene expression and ineffective dosage compensation of Z-linked genes in gastrulating chicken embryos

Project description:Sex determination is still poorly understood in birds and no key determinants have so far been identified. In contrast to most other species, dosage compensation of bird sex chromosomal genes appears rather ineffective. By comparing microarrays of microdissected primitive streak from single chicken embryos, we identified a large number of genes differentially expressed between male and female embryos at a very early stage (Hamburger and Hamilton stage 4), long before any sexual differentiation occurs. Most of these genes are located on the Z chromosome, which indicates that dosage compensation is ineffective in early chicken embryos. Gene ontology analyses using an enhanced annotation tool for Affymetrix probesets of the chicken genome shows that among the male-biased genes found on the Z chromosome, more than 20 genes have a role in sex differentiation.
