Statins, the cholesterol lowering agents, can increase diabetes incidence and impair glucose tolerance via its detrimental effects on non-hepatic tissues, such as pancreatic islet, but underlying mechanism has not been clarified. In atorvastatin-treated high fat diet mice, we found reduced pancreatic ß-cell size, ß-cell mass, mature insulin granules and reduced insulin secretion along with the deteriorated glucose tolerance. Transcriptome profiling of primary pancreatic islets showed inhibitory effects of atorvastatin on expression of genes encoding key pancreatic transcription factors, mTOR signaling pathway and small G proteins (sGPs).

View SamplesSpermatogenesis is a complex differentiation process that involves the successive and simultaneous execution of three different gene expression programs: mitotic proliferation of spermatogonia, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. Testicular cell heterogeneity has hindered its molecular analyses. Moreover, the characterization of short, poorly represented cell stages such as initial meiotic prophase ones (leptotene and zygotene) has remained elusive, despite their crucial importance for understanding the fundamentals of meiosis.We have developed a flow cytometry-based approach for obtaining highly pure stage-specific spermatogenic cell populations, including early meiotic prophase. Here we combined this methodology with next generation sequencing, which enabled the analysis of meiotic and postmeiotic gene expression signatures in mouse with unprecedented reliability. Interestingly, we found that a considerable number of genes involved in early as well as late meiotic processes are already on at early meiotic prophase, with a high proportion of them being expressed only for the short time lapse of lepto-zygotene stages. Besides, we observed a massive change in gene expressionpatterns during medium meiotic prophase (pachytene) when mostly genes related to spermiogenesis and sperm function are already turned on. This indicates that the transcriptional switch from meiosis to post-meiosis takes place very early, during meiotic prophase, thus disclosing a higher incidence of post-transcriptional regulationin spermatogenesis than previously reported. Moreover, we found that a good proportion of the differential gene expression in spermiogenesis corresponds to up-regulation of genes whose expression starts earlier, at pachytene stage; this includes transition protein- and protamine-coding genes, which have long been claimed to switch on during spermiogenesis. In addition, our results afford new insights concerning X chromosome meiotic inactivation and reactivation. This work provides for the first time an overview of the time course for the massive onset and turning off of the meiotic and spermiogenic genetic programs. Importantly, our data represent a highly reliable information set about gene expression in pure testicular cell populations including early meiotic prophase, for further data mining towards the elucidation of the molecular bases of male reproduction in mammals.

View SamplesHypoxia plays important roles in progression of chronic kidney diseases. HIF1 (hypoxia inducible factor 1) is a master transcriptional factor under hypoxic condition. To clarify the molecular mechanisms of HIF1 and identify novel linc RNAs under hypoxia, we performed RNA-seq using human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC). In addition, we use Dznep which is an inhibitor of H3K27me3 to examine the relationship between HIF1 and epigenetic modifiers under hypoxia.
