本研究探讨不同程度无精子症患者睾丸组织的转录组差异,了解差异表达基因(DEG)在功能、分类和代谢通路的不同,揭示无精子症患者精子发生分子机制,为促进男性不育研究的发展提供理论基础. 选取1份非梗阻性无精子症和4份梗阻性无精子症患者睾丸组织样品(从无精子到有精子),进行RNA提取和文库构建,利用Illumina HiSeqTM 2500高通量测序,构建无精子症患者睾丸组织转录组文库,并用生物信息学方法进行分析. 结果发现,样品比对基因组数据库的平均比对率为94.38%,共检测2 242个属于预测新的蛋白质编码基因的转录本. 得到差异表达基因统计结果为:NOA vs. OA1基因上调8 045,下调1 150;OA1 vs. OA2基因上调1 538,下调420;OA2 vs. OA3基因上调1 275,下调1 690;OA3 vs. OA4基因上调1 834,下调1 853. 比较5例无精子症睾丸组织的差异基因KEGG,主要富集在RNA降解通路、基底细胞瘤通路、癌通路、黑色素生成通路和调节干细胞多能性等信号通路. PRM1、PRM2、TNP1、UBXN6、CXCL16、NUPR2、CCDC136和CRISP2等基因的表达呈递增趋势,并具有时序特异性. 此外,5例无精子症睾丸组织的表达基因有不同程度的基因融合. 综上,基因融合可能和无精子症相关,并且不同程度无精子症患者睾丸组织的差异表达基因数量、功能、分类和代谢通路不同. 本研究筛选出精子发生、精子运动等差异表达基因,丰富了无精子症患者睾丸组织转录组信息,为开展无精子症患者睾丸组织相关基因及分子调控机制的研究奠定基础.
This study focuses on investigating the transcriptome differences of testicular tissues in varying degrees of azoospermia patients through analyzing the differences of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) on levels of function, classification and metabolic pathways. One testicular tissue of non-obstructive azoospermia(NOA) and four testicular tissues of obstructive azoospermia(OA) (without sperm to having sperms by biopsies) were selected for RNA extractions, library constructions and sequencings by Illumina HiSeqTM 2500, following with analyses including differential expression gene GO annotation and KEGG analysis. As a result, about 94.38% genome database were covered in the human reference genome and 2 242 transcripts were detected as predicted new protein-coding genes. Compared with NOA, 8 045 DEGs were up-regulated and 1 150 were down-regulated in OA1. For OA1 and OA2, there were 1 538 and 420 DEGs for down-regulation and up-regulation. For OA2 and OA3, there were 1 275 for up-regulation and 1 690 for down-regulation. The numbers of up-regulated (1 834) and down-regulated (1 853) DEGs between OA3 and OA4 were similar. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs were mainly enriched in RNA degradation pathway, basal cell carcinoma pathway, cancer pathway, melanogenesis pathway and signaling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells. The expressions of PRM1, PRM2, TNP1, UBXN6, CXCL16, NUPR2, CCDC136 and CRISP2 genes showed an increasing trend with time-sequence specificity. In addition, different extents of gene fusions were found in 5 cases of azoospermia testicular tissue expressed genes. In summary, the number of DEGs and their function, classification and metabolic pathways were obtained with different degrees of azoospermia. The DEGs such as spermatogenesis and sperm motility were screened out, which enriched transcriptome information for azoospermia and laid a foundation for the research of testicular tissue related genes. It may provide theoretical basis for revealing the molecular mechanisms of spermatogenesis in azoospermia patients and promoting the development of male infertility research. Notably, gene fusion may be associated with azoospermia.
