Project description:This set includes individuals from 10 different primate species whose genomic DNA was used in an array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH)using human cDNA microarrays to detect gene copy number variation across 10 primate species. An organism part comparison experiment design type compares tissues, regions, organs within or between organisms. Keywords: organism_part_comparison_design, array CGH

Project description:Smooth-muscle-like peritubular cells make up the wall of semniferous tubules of men. These human testicular peritubular cells (HTPC) have been shown to fulfill different roles. They transport sperm, secrete various factors like GDNF (glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor) and are immunologically active. They might contribute to spermatogonial stem cell niche altering and testicular ageing. Previous studies were limited regarding heterogeneity (due to lifestyle, age, medical history etc.) and accessibility of HTPCs. To circumvent this problem a cellular primate model should be established. The proteome of 6 MKTPCs of individual healthy and young (2 or 3 years) donors was assessed to investigate the suitability as a model.
Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in primate-specific biological processes, yet many primate-specific lncRNAs and their protein interactors remain poorly characterized. In this study, we focused on primate-specific lncRNAs as potential drivers of protein interactions. Using RNA affinity pull-down coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), we identified proteins interacting with LINC01021 in primate-derived cells. Key findings include specific enrichment of RBMS proteins, suggesting a functional role in RNA metabolism or gene regulation. This dataset provides proteomic evidence for primate-specific lncRNA-protein interactions and contributes to understanding evolutionary adaptations in primates.
