Mammalian Male Germ Cells Are Fertile Ground for Expression Profiling Of
REPRODUCTIONREVIEW Mammalian male germ cells are fertile ground for expression profiling of sexual reproduction Gunnar Wrobel and Michael Primig Biozentrum and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Klingelbergstrasse 50-70, 4056 Basel, Switzerland Correspondence should be addressed to Michael Primig; Email: [email protected] Abstract Recent large-scale transcriptional profiling experiments of mammalian spermatogenesis using rodent model systems and different types of microarrays have yielded insight into the expression program of male germ cells. These studies revealed that an astonishingly large number of loci are differentially expressed during spermatogenesis. Among them are several hundred transcripts that appear to be specific for meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells. This group includes many genes that were pre- viously implicated in spermatogenesis and/or fertility and others that are as yet poorly characterized. Profiling experiments thus reveal candidates for regulation of spermatogenesis and fertility as well as targets for innovative contraceptives that act on gene products absent in somatic tissues. In this review, consolidated high density oligonucleotide microarray data from rodent total testis and purified germ cell samples are analyzed and their impact on our understanding of the transcriptional program governing male germ cell differentiation is discussed.

Transcriptomic Profile of the Subiculum-Projecting VIP Gabaergic Neurons in the Mouse CA1 Hippocampus
Brain Structure and Function (2019) 224:2269–2280 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00429-019-01883-z SHORT COMMUNICATION Transcriptomic profle of the subiculum‑projecting VIP GABAergic neurons in the mouse CA1 hippocampus Xiao Luo1,2 · Einer Muñoz‑Pino1,2 · Ruggiero Francavilla1,2 · Maxime Vallée3,4 · Arnaud Droit3 · Lisa Topolnik1,2 Received: 16 March 2018 / Accepted: 2 May 2019 / Published online: 16 May 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract In cortical circuits, the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP+)-expressing GABAergic cells represent a heterogeneous but unique group of interneurons that is mainly specialized in network disinhibition. While the physiological properties and connectivity patterns have been elucidated in several types of VIP+ interneurons, little is known about the cell type-specifc molecular repertoires important for selective targeting of VIP+ cell types and understanding their functions. Using patch- sequencing approach, we analyzed the transcriptomic profle of anatomically identifed subiculum-projecting VIP+ GABAe- rgic neurons that reside in the mouse hippocampal CA1 area, express muscarinic receptor 2 and coordinate the hippocampo- subicular interactions via selective innervation of interneurons in the CA1 area and of interneurons and pyramidal cells in subiculum. We explored the VIP+ cell gene expression within major gene families including ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, neuromodulators, cell adhesion and myelination molecules. Among others, a large variety of genes involved in neuromodulatory signaling, including acetylcholine (Chrna4), norepinephrin (Adrb1), dopamine (Drd1), serotonin (Htr1d), cannabinoid (Cnr1), opioid (Oprd1, Oprl1) and neuropeptide Y (Npy1r) receptors was detected in these cells. Many genes that were enriched in other local VIP+ cell types, including the interneuron-selective interneurons and the cholecystokinin- coexpressing basket cells, were detected in VIP+ subiculum-projecting cells. -

Characterization of Glomerular Extracellular Matrix in Iga Nephropathy by Proteomic Analysis of Laser-Captured Microdissected Gl
Paunas et al. BMC Nephrology (2019) 20:410 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-019-1598-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Characterization of glomerular extracellular matrix in IgA nephropathy by proteomic analysis of laser-captured microdissected glomeruli Flavia Teodora Ioana Paunas1,2* , Kenneth Finne2, Sabine Leh2,3, Tarig Al-Hadi Osman2, Hans-Peter Marti2,4, Frode Berven5 and Bjørn Egil Vikse1,2 Abstract Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) involves mesangial matrix expansion, but the proteomic composition of this matrix is unknown. The present study aimed to characterize changes in extracellular matrix in IgAN. Methods: In the present study we used mass spectrometry-based proteomics in order to quantitatively compare protein abundance between glomeruli of patients with IgAN (n = 25) and controls with normal biopsy findings (n = 15). Results: Using a previously published paper by Lennon et al. and cross-referencing with the Matrisome database we identified 179 extracellular matrix proteins. In the comparison between IgAN and controls, IgAN glomeruli showed significantly higher abundance of extracellular matrix structural proteins (e.g periostin, vitronectin, and extracellular matrix protein 1) and extracellular matrix associated proteins (e.g. azurocidin, myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and matrix metalloproteinase 2). Periostin (fold change 3.3) and azurocidin (3.0) had the strongest fold change between IgAN and controls; periostin was also higher in IgAN patients who progressed to ESRD as compared to patients who did not. Conclusion: IgAN is associated with widespread changes of the glomerular extracellular matrix proteome. Proteins important in glomerular sclerosis or inflammation seem to be most strongly increased and periostin might be an important marker of glomerular damage in IgAN. -

Curcumin Is a Potent Modulator of Microglial Gene Expression And
Karlstetter et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation 2011, 8:125 JOURNAL OF http://www.jneuroinflammation.com/content/8/1/125 NEUROINFLAMMATION RESEARCH Open Access Curcumin is a potent modulator of microglial gene expression and migration Marcus Karlstetter1†, Elena Lippe1†, Yana Walczak1†, Christoph Moehle2, Alexander Aslanidis1, Myriam Mirza1 and Thomas Langmann1* Abstract Background: Microglial cells are important effectors of the neuronal innate immune system with a major role in chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Curcumin, a major component of tumeric, alleviates pro-inflammatory activities of these cells by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) signaling. To study the immuno-modulatory effects of curcumin on a transcriptomic level, DNA-microarray analyses were performed with resting and LPS-challenged microglial cells after short-term treatment with curcumin. Methods: Resting and LPS-activated BV-2 cells were stimulated with curcumin and genome-wide mRNA expression patterns were determined using DNA-microarrays. Selected qRT-PCR analyses were performed to confirm newly identified curcumin-regulated genes. The migration potential of microglial cells was determined with wound healing assays and transwell migration assays. Microglial neurotoxicity was estimated by morphological analyses and quantification of caspase 3/7 levels in 661W photoreceptors cultured in the presence of microglia-conditioned medium. Results: Curcumin treatment markedly changed the microglial transcriptome with 49 differentially expressed transcripts in a combined analysis of resting and activated microglial cells. Curcumin effectively triggered anti-inflammatory signals as shown by induced expression of Interleukin 4 and Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor a. Several novel curcumin- induced genes including Netrin G1, Delta-like 1, Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1,andPlasma cell endoplasmic reticulum protein 1, have been previously associated with adhesion and cell migration. -

Homozygous Frameshift Variant in NTNG2, Encoding a Synaptic Cell Adhesion Molecule, in Individuals with Developmental Delay, Hypotonia, and Autistic Features
neurogenetics (2019) 20:209–213 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10048-019-00583-4 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Homozygous frameshift variant in NTNG2, encoding a synaptic cell adhesion molecule, in individuals with developmental delay, hypotonia, and autistic features Bassam Abu-Libdeh1 & Motee Ashhab1 & Maher Shahrour1 & Muhannad Daana2 & Anwar Dudin3 & Orly Elpeleg4 & Simon Edvardson4,5 & Tamar Harel6 Received: 3 May 2019 /Accepted: 21 July 2019 /Published online: 2 August 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Regulation of neuronal connectivity and synaptic communication are key to proper functioning of the brain. The Netrin-G subfamily and their cognate receptors are vertebrate-specific synaptic cell adhesion molecules with a role in synapse establish- ment and function, which seem to have co-evolved to contribute to higher brain functions. We identified a homozygous frameshift variant in NTNG2 (NM_032536.3: c.376dup), encoding Netrin-G2, in eight individuals from four families with global developmental delay, hypotonia, secondary microcephaly, and autistic features. Comparison of haplotypes established this as a founder variant. Previous studies showed that Ntng2-knockout mice have impaired visual, auditory, and motor coordination abilities required for demanding tasks, as well as possible spatial learning and memory deficits. Knockout of Ntng2 in a cellular model resulted in short neurites, and knockout of its trans-synaptic partner Ngl2/Lrrc4 in mice revealed autistic-like behavior and reduced NMDAR synaptic plasticity. The Ngl2/Lrrc4-knockout mouse phenotype was rescued by NMDAR activation, suggest- ing a mechanistic link to autism spectrum disorder. We thus propose NTNG2 as a candidate disease gene and provide further support for the involvement of Netrin-G2 in neuropsychiatric phenotypes.
