Etude du profil protéomique de follicules ovariens de souris à 3 différents stades de développement in vitro.

Alors que le protéome de l'ovocyte isolé, aux stades VG et MII a déjà été étudié, celui du follicule en croissance n'a jamais été décrit.Dans cette étude, nous avons cherché à identifier, comparer et caractériser les profils protéiques de follicules ovariens de souris à trois stades de leur développement in vitro distincts morphologiquement : follicules secondaires en début de culture - stade initial (IS), follicules avec une rupture complète de la membrane de Slavjanski (RMS) et follicules avec une cavité similaire à l'antrum (FA).Après un préfractionnement par IEF et une analyse LC-MS/MS en deux configurations (1D et 2D), 1403 protéines ont pu être identifiées dans le follicule ovarien de souris. 43,4 % (609) des protéines identifiées étaient communes aux trois stades et d'autres ont été identifiées uniquement à un stade : 71 au stade IS, 182 au stade RMS et 193 au stade FA. De plus, on a identifié 365 protéines qui n'avaient pas été décrites antérieurement dans le protéome de l'ovocyte ce qui pourrais indiquer qu'elles sont exprimées dans les cellules somatiques du follicule. Des analyses qualitatives et quantitatives complémentaires ont démontré une surreprésentation pour 44 fonctions biologiques par rapport aux fonctions biologiques des gènes constituant le génome de Mus musculus et mis en évidence des différences d'expression et d'abondance des protéines liées au cycle cellulaire, à la fixation des ions de calcium et à la glycolyse selon le stade de développement. Ces résultats représentent un point de départ pour beaucoup d'autres études de caractérisation moléculaire du développement folliculaire.Until now only the proteome of isolated oocyte from fully grown follicle were described with the aim of oocyte maturation characterization. However the ability of oocyte to mature is acquired during its development within the follicle. Thus in this study we proposed a protein identification and characterization of whole mice ovarian follicle at three morphological stages during in vitro development: early secondary stage, described as initial stage (IS), follicles with a complete Slavjanski membrane rupture (RMS) and follicles with an antrum like cavity formation (FA). Using an IEF pre fractionation before protein digestion and two configurations of LC-MS/MS analysis (1D and 2D), 1403 proteins were successfully identified in the murine ovarian follicle. From those, 43.4% (609) were commonly identified in the three stages and some were identified only at one single stage: 71 at IS stage, 182 at RMS stage and 193 at FA stage. Compared to the proteomes of isolated oocyte previously described, 365 proteins were only identified in our samples indicating that those ones were probably expressed in the somatic cells of the follicle. Additional qualitative and quantitative analysis highlighted 44 biological processes over represented in our samples when compared to Mus musculus gene database and different expressions and protein abundance implicated in cell cycle, calcium ion binding and glycolysis, throughout in vitro follicle development. This report represents so far the most complete catalogue of follicle proteins and could be an important milestone in the proteomic study of the follicle metabolism throughout in vitro development.PARIS-JUSSIEU-Bib.électronique (751059901) / SudocSudocFranceF

Germline mutation in the RAD51B gene confers predisposition to breast cancer.

International audienceBACKGROUND: Most currently known breast cancer predisposition genes play a role in DNA repair by homologous recombination. Recent studies conducted on RAD51 paralogs, involved in the same DNA repair pathway, have identified rare germline mutations conferring breast and/or ovarian cancer predisposition in the RAD51C, RAD51D and XRCC2 genes. The present study analysed the five RAD51 paralogs (RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2, XRCC3) to estimate their contribution to breast and ovarian cancer predisposition. METHODS: The study was conducted on 142 unrelated patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer either with early onset or with a breast/ovarian cancer family history. Patients were referred to a French family cancer clinic and had been previously tested negative for a BRCA1/2 mutation. Coding sequences of the five genes were analysed by EMMA (Enhanced Mismatch Mutation Analysis). Detected variants were characterized by Sanger sequencing analysis. RESULTS: Three splicing mutations and two likely deleterious missense variants were identified: RAD51B c.452 + 3A > G, RAD51C c.706-2A > G, RAD51C c.1026 + 5_1026 + 7del, RAD51B c.475C > T/p.Arg159Cys and XRCC3 c.448C > T/p.Arg150Cys. No RAD51D and XRCC2 gene mutations were detected. These mutations and variants were detected in families with both breast and ovarian cancers, except for the RAD51B c.475C > T/p.Arg159Cys variant that occurred in a family with 3 breast cancer cases. CONCLUSIONS: This study identified the first RAD51B mutation in a breast and ovarian cancer family and is the first report of XRCC3 mutation analysis in breast and ovarian cancer. It confirms that RAD51 paralog mutations confer breast and ovarian cancer predisposition and are rare events. In view of the low frequency of RAD51 paralog mutations, international collaboration of family cancer clinics will be required to more accurately estimate their penetrance and establish clinical guidelines in carrier individuals

Immature Cryopreserved Ovary Restores Puberty and Fertility in Mice without Alteration of Epigenetic Marks

BACKGROUND: Progress in oncology could improve survival rate in children, but would probably lead to impaired fertility and puberty. In pre-pubertal girls, the only therapeutic option is the cryopreservation of one ovary. Three births have been reported after reimplantation of cryopreserved mature ovary. Conversely, reimplantation of ovary preserved before puberty (defined as immature ovary) has never been performed in humans. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In order to analyze ovarian function, we performed transplantation using fresh or cryopreserved immature grafts in pre-pubertal or adult mice. Puberty as well as cyclic hormonal activity was restored. All follicle populations were present although a significant reduction in follicle density was observed with or without cryopreservation. Although fertility was restored, the graft is of limited life span. Because ex vivo ovary manipulation and cryopreservation procedure, the status of genomic imprinting was investigated. Methylation status of the H19 and Lit1 Imprinting Control Regions in kidney, muscle and tongue of offsprings from grafted mice does not show significant alteration when compared to those of unoperated mice. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: These results demonstrate that immature ovarian grafting can restore spontaneous puberty and fertility. However, these data suggest that follicle depletion leads to premature ovarian failure. This study addresses the very important epigenetics issue, and provides valuable information to the study of ovarian transplantation suggesting that these procedures do not perturb normal epigenetics marks. These results are highly relevant to the reimplantation question of immature cortex in women
