Inflammatory Stimuli Trigger Increased Androgen Production and Shifts in Gene Expression in Theca-Interstitial Cells.

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disorder characterized by theca cell hyperplasia and excessive androgen production. An increasing body of evidence has pointed to a close association between PCOS and low-grade chronic systemic inflammation. However, the mechanistic basis for this linkage is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of the inflammatory agents lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IL-1β on rat theca-interstitial cells (TICs). We found that incubation with either LPS or IL-1β elicited a dose-dependent increase in both TIC viability and androgen production. Using RNA sequencing analysis, we found that both of these inflammatory agents also triggered profound and widespread shifts in gene expression. Using a stringent statistical cutoff, LPS and IL-1β elicited differential expression of 5201 and 5953 genes, respectively. Among the genes upregulated by both LPS and IL-1β were key regulatory genes involved in the cholesterol and androgen biosynthesis pathways, including Cyp17a1, Cyp11a1, Hsd3b, and Hmgcr. This provides a molecular explanation for the mechanism of action of inflammatory agents leading to increased androgen production. Gene ontology and pathway analysis revealed that both LPS and IL-1β regulated genes highly enriched for many common functions, including the immune response and apoptosis. However, a large number of genes (n = 2222) were also uniquely regulated by LPS and IL-1β, indicating that these inflammatory mediators have substantial differences in their mechanism of action. Together, these findings highlight the potential molecular mechanisms through which chronic low-grade inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of androgen excess in PCOS.

Transcriptome analyses of ovarian stroma: tunica albuginea, interstitium and theca interna

Project description:The ovary has specialized stromal compartments, including the tunica albuginea, interstitial stroma and theca interna, which develops concurrently with the follicular antrum. To characterize the molecular determinants of these compartments, stroma adjacent to preantral follicles (pre-theca), interstitium and tunica albuginea were laser microdissected (n = 4 per group) and theca interna was dissected from bovine antral follicles (n = 6).

Dissecting the fate of Foxl2-expressing cells in ovary development using lineage tracing and Single-Cell Transcriptomics

Project description:Gonad somatic cells acquire sex-specific fates during sex determination. In XX gonad, a subset of somatic cells expresses Foxl2 after sex determination which are considered as the progenitor of granulosa cells. However, whether these cells also contribute to other cell type at later developmental stage is unknown. In the present study, the cell fate of Foxl2-expressing cells in fetal ovaries was analyzed by lineage tracing and signal-cell transcriptomics. We found that Foxl2-expressing cells gave rise to three cell types at later developmental stage, including granulosa cells, theca-interstitial cells, and stromal cells. Series single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that Foxl2-positive cells were divided into two clusters at P0. One group further differentiated into granulosa cells and theca cells at P14. Another group was classified as stromal cell lineage, then a small portion of them further differentiated into 3β-HSD-positive interstitial cells. We also found that interstitial cells were CYP17a1-positive, whereas theca cells did express this gene. Our data provide an important resource, at single-cell resolution, for better understanding somatic cell differentiation in ovary development.

NET induced by different stimuli: a comparative proteomic analysis

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) formation is part of the neutrophil response to infections, but excessive or inappropriate NETosis may trigger the production of autoantibodies and cause organ damage in autoimmune disorders. Spontaneously netting neutrophils are not frequent and induction of NET in vitro by selected stimuli is necessary to investigate their structure. In the present work, the protein composition and post-translational modifications of NET produced under different stimuli is studied by means of proteomic analysis. Neutrophils from healthy donors were stimulated by PMA, A23187, E.Coli LPS or untreated; after 3 hours cells were washed, treated with DNase and supernatants collected for mass spectrometry. Data were analyzed by unsupervised hierarchical clustering analyses. We identified proteins contained in NETs of any source or exclusive of one stimulus: LPS-induced and spontaneous NET diverge in protein composition, while PMA- and A23187-induced NET appear more similar. Among the post-translational modifications we examined, methionine sulfoxidation is frequent especially in PMA- and LPS-induced NETs. Myeloperoxidase is the protein more extensively modified. Thus, proteomic analysis indicates that NETs induced by different stimuli are heterogeneous in terms of both protein composition and post-translational modifications, suggesting that NET induced in different conditions may have different biological effects.

Exploring molecular profiles of osteogenically differentiated aortic valvular interstitial cells

Project description:Aortic valve calcifications are often associated with calcium deposition and tissue mineralization, resulting in stiffness and dysfunction. To better understand the diversity of molecular and cellular processes for calcification in valve structures, we isolated human aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) and exposed them to calcification stimulation. RNA-seq revealed that in response to calcified stimuli, AVIC activates a robust ossification program, although the signaling pathways, cellular processes, and osteogenesis-related markers involved are diverse. In conclusion, this study provides a wealth of information suggesting that the pathogenesis of aortic valve calcification may be much more than previously understood.
