- Microfluidic platforms have emerged as critical technologies for exploring sperm chemotaxis, providing precise gradient control, and facilitating in-depth behavioral assessment. We designed a novel, user-friendly microfluidic device that is optimized for human sperm morphology and motility. The device was validated using two well-established sperm chemoattractants, progesterone and bourgeonal, demonstrating its reliability and reproducibility. Given the key role of olfactory receptors (ORs) in mediating sperm chemotaxis, the newly developed device was employed to identify additional receptors that may contribute to sperm behavior. Using the Atlas database, we identified OR2H1 as a candidate receptor. It is enriched in testis-derived cells, particularly in early and late spermatids, and it is broadly expressed across human spermatozoa. We demonstrated that OR2H1's ligand, methional, a sulfur-containing aldehyde naturally found in vaginal fluid and biosynthesized by , significantly enhances sperm migration and progressive motility. Methional stimulation also triggered increased intracellular calcium levels, indicating receptor activation. Computer-assisted sperm analysis revealed that methional treatment improved sperm linearity, straightness, and wobble without affecting the average velocity, suggesting enhanced directional movement. These findings provide evidence that methional promotes sperm chemotaxis via OR2H1 and highlight the potential role of the vaginal microbiome in influencing human fertility. - Source: PubMed

In this study, we used human testis datasets GSE45885, GSE45887, and GSE108886 from GEO database as training datasets, and screened 6 signature genes (all lowly expressed in the NOA group) using Boruta algorithm and Lasso regression: C12orf54, TSSK6, OR2H1, FER1L5, C9orf153, XKR3. The diagnostic efficacy of the above genes was examined by constructing models with LightGBM algorithm: the AUC (Area Under Curve) of both ROC and Precision-Recall curves for internal validation was 1.0 ( < 0.05). For the external validation dataset GSE145467 (human testis), the AUC of its ROC curve was 0.9 and that of its Precision-Recall curve was 0.833 ( < 0.05). Next, we confirmed the cellular localization of the above genes using human testis single-cell RNA sequencing dataset GSE149512, which were all located in spermatid. Besides, the downstream regulatory mechanisms of the above genes in spermatid were inferred by GSEA algorithm: C12orf54 may be involved in the repression of E2F-related and MYC-related pathways, TSSK6 and C9orf153 may be involved in the repression of MYC-related pathways, while FER1L5 may be involved in the repression of spermatogenesis pathway. Finally, we constructed a NOA model in mice using X-ray irradiation, and quantitative Real-time PCR results showed that C12orf54, TSSK6, OR2H1, FER1L5, and C9orf153 were all lowly expressed in NOA group. In summary, we have identified novel signature genes of NOA using machine learning methods and complete experimental validation, which will be helpful for its early diagnosis. - Source: PubMed

Ran LingxiangGao ZhixiangChen QiuCui FengmeiLiu XiaolongXue Boxin - Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing T cells have proven success in hematologic malignancies, their effectiveness in solid tumors has been largely unsuccessful thus far. We found that some olfactory receptors are expressed in a variety of solid tumors of different histologic subtypes, with a limited pattern of expression in normal tissues. Quantification of OR2H1 expression by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis of 17 normal tissues, 82 ovarian cancers of various histologies, eight non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), and 17 breast cancers demonstrated widespread OR2H1 expression in solid epithelial tumors with expression in normal human tissues limited to the testis. CAR T cells recognizing the extracellular domain of the olfactory receptor OR2H1 were generated with a targeting motif identified through the screening of a phage display library and demonstrated OR2H1-specific cytotoxic killing in vitro and in vivo, using tumor cells with spontaneous expression of variable OR2H1 levels. Importantly, recombinant OR2H1 IgG generated with the VH/VL sequences of the CAR construct specifically detected OR2H1 protein signal in 60 human lung cancers, 40 ovarian carcinomas, and 73 cholangiocarcinomas, at positivity rates comparable with mRNA expression and without OR2H1 staining in 58 normal tissues. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ablation of OR2H1 confirmed targeting specificity of the CAR and the tumor-promoting role of OR2H1 in glucose metabolism. Therefore, T cells redirected against OR2H1-expressing tumor cells represent a promising therapy against a broad range of epithelial cancers, likely with an admissible toxicity profile. - Source: PubMed

Here we resolve the major genetic influences for NPC incidence using a genome-wide association study (GWAS), independent cohort replication, and high-resolution molecular HLA class I gene typing including 4,055 study participants from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guangdong province of southern China. We detect and replicate strong association signals involving SNPs, HLA alleles, and amino acid (aa) variants across the major histocompatibility complex-HLA-A, HLA -B, and HLA -C class I genes (P(HLA-A-aa-site-62) = 7.4 × 10(-29); P (HLA-B-aa-site-116) = 6.5 × 10(-19); P (HLA-C-aa-site-156) = 6.8 × 10(-8) respectively). Over 250 NPC-HLA associated variants within HLA were analyzed in concert to resolve separate and largely independent HLA-A, -B, and -C gene influences. Multivariate logistical regression analysis collapsed significant associations in adjacent genes spanning 500 kb (OR2H1, GABBR1, HLA-F, and HCG9) as proxies for peptide binding motifs carried by HLA- A*11:01. A similar analysis resolved an independent association signal driven by HLA-B*13:01, B*38:02, and B*55:02 alleles together. NPC resistance alleles carrying the strongly associated amino acid variants implicate specific class I peptide recognition motifs in HLA-A and -B peptide binding groove as conferring strong genetic influence on the development of NPC in China. - Source: PubMed

A total of 1804 RA cases and 1474 controls were included. High-resolution HLA-DRB1 typing was performed. Subjects were genotyped for 1546 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using Affymetrix GeneChip 500 K (Santa Clara, CA, USA) as part of the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium Study. Statistical analysis was carried out using PLINK. To avoid confounding by RA-associated HLA-DRB1 alleles, we analyzed xMHC SNPs using a data set with pairwise matching of cases and controls on DRB1 genotypes. A total of 594 case-control pairs with identical DRB1 genotypes were identified. After this adjustment, 104 SNPs remained significantly associated with RA (P<0.05), suggesting that additional RA loci independent of HLA-DRB1 can be found in the xMHC region. Of these, four loci showed the strongest associations with RA (P<0.005): ZNF391, the olfactory receptor (OR) gene cluster, C6orf26-RDBP and HLA-DPB1-COL11A2. An additional locus mapping to the BTN (butyrophilin) cluster showed independent association with RA in anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide-positive patients exclusively. We have validated the previously described independent association of the HLA-DPB1-COL11A2 locus with RA. In addition, association with three novel independent RA loci in the xMHC region (ZNF391, OR2H1 and C6orf26-RDBP) has been detected. - Source: PubMed
