The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes02:45

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes

9.1K
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.  
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female...

In animals, gender is determined by the number and type of sex chromosome. For example, human females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas C.elegans with one X chromosome is a male, and the one with two X chromosomes is a hermaphrodite.
In addition to sexual development, the X chromosome has genes involved in autosomal functions such as brain development and the immune system. Therefore, males and females with  distinct numbers of X chromosomes will...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Researchers identified gender-specific genes in rhesus macaque blood before irradiation that predict survival. These findings may help understand radiosensitivity variations and improve outcomes after radiation exposure.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation biology
  • Genomics
  • Primate research

Background:

  • Radiosensitivity varies significantly among individuals and species.
  • The underlying genetic factors contributing to radiosensitivity are not fully understood.
  • Rhesus macaques serve as a relevant model for studying human radiation responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate pre-irradiation gene expression in rhesus macaques to identify predictors of survival after whole-body irradiation.
  • To determine if gene expression patterns differ between survivors and non-survivors.
  • To explore gender-specific differences in gene expression related to radiation survival.

Main Methods:

  • Whole genome RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used for initial gene expression screening in untreated macaques.
  • Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was employed for validation of candidate genes.
  • Statistical analyses including differential gene expression, logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed.

Main Results:

  • A total of 659 differentially expressed genes were identified, with only 36 overlapping between genders.
  • For males, EPX, IGF2BP1, and a combination of EPX with SLC22A4 were predictive of survival.
  • For females, MBOAT4 was identified as the most predictive gene for survival.
  • Pre-irradiation gene expression levels could predict survival with up to 74% accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Gender-dependent gene expression profiles in peripheral blood can predict survival outcomes following irradiation in rhesus macaques.
  • Identified genes like EPX, IGF2BP1, SLC22A4, and MBOAT4 represent potential biomarkers for radiosensitivity.
  • These findings contribute to understanding the biological basis of radiosensitivity and may inform future therapeutic strategies.
