Testicular piRNA analysis identified dysregulated piRNAs in non-obstructive azoospermia

Project description:Male infertility has remained idiopathic in a remarkable proportion of all cases. Gonadal expression of PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) has been shown to be vital to normal spermatogenesis, as they are expressed in almost all types of testicular germ cells. These molecules and their related Piwi proteins strictly regulate transposable elements’ activity and gene expression. We aimed to identify dysregulated piRNAs in idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermic (NOA) testis by global expression analysis. In the NOA group, 1328 piRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed, of which 1322 were down-regulated and 6 were up-regulated. Bioinformatics analysis corroborated the involvement of dysregulated piRNA in spermatogenesis. We also identified 64 clusters of differentially expressed piRNAs, of which 42 clusters had a minimum of 10 absolute piRNA hits. Our study suggests that piRNAs show significant dysregulation in infertility. Their target genes play a role in their self-biogenesis, probably by regulating their own production through a feedback mechanism. The down-regulated piRNAs may find value as biomarkers for the presence of spermatozoa in the testis of azoospermic individuals, while the up-regulated piRNAs are great candidates for further investigation of their precise functions in spermatogenesis.

Comparative proteomics analysis of FFPE testicular tissue from men with obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia

Project description:The project aimed to compare testicular proteomes from patients with obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia in order to identify molecular signatures involved in spermatogenesis as well to identify candidate biomarkers for discriminating between different types of azoospermia. The samples used in this study were formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) testicular tissues obtained by biopsy from men with clinical diagnosis of azoospermia. Samples were grouped according to the histopathological report in 3 groups: 1) Spermatogenesis (obstructive azoospermia), 2) Hypospermatogenesis and 3) Sertoli cell only syndrome (SCO). Patients were aged 31–46 years with no differences among groups regarding age (Median age (Hypospermatogenesis) =35; Median age (SCO) =34 and Median age (Spermatogenesis) =39). Each group had 9 samples or 27 samples in total were used for the comparative proteomics analysis by label-free data-independent LC-MS/MS.

In situ transcriptomic analysis of spermatocytes in non-obstructive azoospermia reveals senescence-like states in arrested spermatocytes

Project description:To investigate in situ transcriptome of spermatocytes in non-obstructive azoospermia , we microdissected spermatocytes in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded testicular biopsy tissue from two types of non-obstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia as a control, and then constructed cDNA libraries based on Smart-3SEQ method.

Biomarkers in semen/urine from non-obstructive azoospermia patients to predict the presence of testicular spermatozoa and spermatogonia

Project description:About half of testicular sperm extraction (TESE) procedures in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), including men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), are unsuccessful. To avoid unnecessary invasive surgery, biomarkers for spermatozoa have been studied and identified. In addition, markers for spermatogonia in testis tissue have been researched. This study aimed to find biomarkers in semen and/or urine of NOA patients to predict the presence of spermatogonia in the testis. This would especially be interesting for young boys. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified (1) between samples from patients with and those of patients without a positive TESE procedure as well as (2) between TESE negative patients with and those without spermatogonia. A total of ten up-regulated miRNAs (seven in seminal plasma and three in urine) were found in the TESE-negative/spermatogonia-positive group compared to the TESE-negative/spermatogonia-negative group. These miRNAs could become biomarkers for spermatogonia, however, more research is necessary.

Altered mRNA profile in testis of patients with“secondary idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia”

Project description:Background: Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most severe form of male infertility. Currently known causative factors, including congenital and several acquired causes can only account for approximately 30% of NOA cases. Causes for most patients with NOA remains unclear, which were known as idiopathic NOA (iNOA). However, whether iNOA is congenital defects or acquired abnormalities is a confusing problem due to the delayed diagnosis of this frustrating situation until childbearing age. Materials and Methods: In this study, several patients who were diagnosed as iNOA at this stage, but with a history of natural conceptions with female before were enrolled and defined as “secondary idiopathic NOA”. As little was known about these cases, we performed the mRNA expression profiling by Next-generation sequencing (NGS) in this three patients and other three patients with obstructive azoospermia (OA) as controls. Results: A series of mRNAs were found to be altered in testicular tissues between “secondary idiopathic NOA” and controls, including 6028 downregulated and 3402 upregulated mRNAs. GO analysis and KEGG analysis revealed a range of GO and KEGG terms, such as cellular process involved in reproduction, protein digestion and absorption, etc. Conclusion: Overall, this study introduces a novel classification called “secondary idiopathic NOA” in iNOA. We provide a global view of the altered mRNAs involved in spermatogenetic failure in these cases.

RNA-seq based transcriptome profiles of the human testis tissues across multiple conditions, with an intention to mainly study non-obstructive azoospermia

Project description:To study alternatively spliced isoforms expressed differently in the testis of donors with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA), testicular biopsies were collected from donors with NOA condition (as identified by cytological examination) and Obstructive Azoospermia (OA), and Varicocele (VA) conditions. The biopsy samples were stored in RNA-later solution (Ambion, cat # AM7024), according to the manufacturer's guidelines. RNA was extracted using the RiboPure kit (Ambion cat # AM1924). Two normal commercial testicular RNA (Clontech cat. no.: 636533, Asian: lot no: 1105041; Caucasian: lot. no.: LOT1105214A) samples were also used. The RNA quality was checked with formaldehyde agarose gel electrophoresis as well as a micro-volume spectrophotometer. For NGS, testicular RNA from 8 NOA, 2 OA and 2 Varicocele donors were used. Paired-end library preparation was carried out using Illumina TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2, and sequencing was done using the Illumina HiSeq 2000. After quality checks, seqtk (https://github.com/lh3/seqtk) was used for trimming low-quality reads. Alignments, identification of transcripts and the chimeric/transplice molecules, and their quantification were performed by Kallisto software. Sample segregation according to the corresponding donor condition was confirmed via clustering RNA-seq data from the samples.
