Sperm tsRNAs contribute to intergenerational inheritance of an acquired metabolic disorder

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidences indicate diet-induced metabolic disorder could be paternally inherited, but the exact sperm epigenetic carrier remains unclear. Here, in a paternal high-fat diet (HFD) mouse model, we revealed that a highly enriched subset of sperm small RNAs (30-34 nt) that derived from the 5â halves of tRNAs (tsRNAs), exhibit changes in both expression profiles and RNA modifications. Injection of sperm tsRNAs from HFD male but not synthetic tsRNAs lacking RNA modifications, into normal zygotes generated metabolic disorders in the F1 offspring. Injection of HFD sperm tsRNAs derails gene expression in both early embryos and islets of F1 offspring, enriched in metabolic pathways, but unrelated to DNA methylation at CpG-enriched region. Collectively, we uncover sperm tsRNAs as a type of âepigenetic carrierâ that mediate intergenerational inheritance of acquired traits. Mature sperm small-RNA profiles between High-fat-diet (HFD) and Normal-diet (ND) males; Transcriptional profiles of 8-cell embryos and balstocysts that developed from zygotes that injected with sperm RNAs from HFD vs ND males. Transcriptional profiles and RRBS profiles of islets of F1 offsrping that generated from zygotes that injected with sperm RNAs from HFD vs ND males.

Biogenesis and function of tRNA fragments during sperm maturation and fertilization in mammals (single embryo)

Project description:Parental dietary conditions can influence the metabolic traits of offspring. In mice, paternal consumption of low protein diet alters cholesterol and lipid metabolism of progeny. Here, we examine RNA species expressed in male reproductive tissues of mice. Protein restriction leads to altered levels of multiple small RNAs in mature sperm, as well as throughout the male reproductive tract, with decreased levels of let-7 family members and increased levels of 5â?? fragments of tRNA-Gly isoacceptors. Intriguingly, tRNA fragments are scarce in the testis, but their levels increase in sperm during post-testicular maturation in the epididymis. We find that epididymosomes â?? extracellular vesicles which fuse with sperm during epididymal transit â?? exhibit RNA payloads closely matching those of mature sperm, and can deliver tRNA fragments to immature sperm in vitro both in mouse and in bull. Finally, we show that tRNA-Gly-GCC fragments play a role in repressing genes associated with the endogenous retroelement MERVL, both in ES cells and in preimplantation embryos. Our results shed light on small RNA biogenesis during post-testicular sperm maturation, and link tRNA fragments to regulation of endogenous retroelements active in the early embryo. Zygotes were generated by IVF from animals fed a control diet. These embryos were then microinjected with various combinations of small RNAs and control RNA (HIS3.3::GFP). Follwoing injections the zygotes were developed and allowed to develop until 2 cell (2C) or 4 cell (4C) stage when single embryo RNA seq was carried out to study gene expression changes

Gene expression data of livers from C57BL/6 fed a normal diet or high-fat-diet

Project description:Obesity is tightly associated with an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the molecular mechanisms of obesity-induced fatty liver remain largely unknown.In order to identify genes that are potentially involved in dysfunctional hepatic lipid homeostasis in obesity, we performed a clustering analysis of Affymetrix arrays,which revealed that a number of mRNAs were dys-regulated in the livers of mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), compared with mice fed a normal chow diet (ND). To identify genes that are potentially involved in dysfunctional hepatic lipid homeostasis in obesity, male C57BL/6 mice aged 8 weeks were fed a normal diet (ND) or high-fat-diet (HFD) containing 60 Kcal% of fat for 12 weeks. Then mice were sacrificed and total RNAs were isoloated from hepatic tissues. Affymetrix array hybridisation and scanning were performed using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 chips.Total RNA samples obtained from six mice per group (ND and HFD) and pooled by each of the two were used for microarray analysis.

The DNA methylation landscape of human early embryos

Project description:Our data provided a genome-wide DNA methylation landscape of human early development embryos, including human MII oocytes, sperm, zygotes, 2-cell to 8-cell embryos, morula, blastocyst and postimplantation embryos at single base resolution. In total, 44 samples including biological and technical replicates, from 12 different human embryo development stages were analyzed, including two metaphase II oocytes, two zygotes, three first polar bodies, two second polar bodies, four sperm samples, two 2-cell-stage embryos, two 4-cell-stage embryos, three 8-cell-stage embryos, three morulae, three inner cell masses (ICMs) and three trophectoderms (TEs) seperated from late blastocysts, and three post-implantation embryos. In addition, 12 different human embryo development stages were analyzed, including metaphase II oocytes, zygotes, first polar bodies, second polar bodies, sperm samples, 2-cell-stage embryos, 4-cell-stage embryos, 8-cell-stage embryos, morulae, inner cell masses (ICMs) and trophectoderms (TEs) seperated from late blastocysts, and post-implantation embryos.

Biogenesis and function of tRNA fragments during sperm maturation and fertilization in mammals (ICSI)

Our results shed light on small RNA biogenesis during post-testicular sperm maturation, and link tRNA fragments to regulation of endogenous retroelements active in the early embryo. Zygotes were generated by ICSI from oocytes/females fed a Control diet and sperm/males fed either a Control or Low Protein diet. The sperm was isolated from either the Rete testis or the Cauda epididymis and injected either as a whole sperm or just the sperm head. Following fertilization by ICSI the zygotes developed for 28 hours (2C stage) and were harvested for single-embryo RNA-Seq.

Novel Lipogenic Enzyme ELOVL7 Involves in Prostate Cancer Growth through Saturated Fatty-acid and Steroid Metabolism

Project description:We identified a novel lipogenic gene, ELOVL7, as an over-expressed gene in prostate cancer (PC) cells and it is involved in elongation of long-chain fatty acids and can play some important roles in prostate carcinogenesis. To investigate into downstream pathways of ELOVL7, we performed the gene expression analysis by the genome-wide cDNA microarrays. The genome–wide gene expression patterns were compared between PC cells transfected with siELOVL7 and these with siCONTROL and between the ELOVL7-overexpressing in-vivo tumors in mice bread with high fat diet (HFD) and those with normal diet (ND). HFD treatment significantly promoted the growth of ELOVL7-overexpressed PC cells in vivo. As a result, we identified five genes (IER3, HDAC8, GDF15, UGT2B11, and S1PR3) whose expressions were down-regulated with 20% and more in ELOVL7 knockdown and also were up-regulated with 20% and more in the tumors in the mice bread with HFD. The genome–wide gene expression patterns were compared between PC cells transfected with siELOVL7 and these with siCONTROL and between the ELOVL7-overexpressing in-vivo tumors bread with high fat diet (HFD) and those with normal diet (ND). HFD treatment significantly promoted the growth of ELOVL7-overexpressed PC cells in vivo.　The competitive hybridization was performed three times for each comparison (siELOVL7-1, -2, and-3; HFD-1, -2, and -3).

The life history of Drosophila sperm depends on molecular continuity between male and female reproductive tracts: heavy-male isotopic labeling to identify female-derived sperm proteins

Project description:Interactions between sperm and the female reproductive tract (FRT) are critical to fertility, but knowledge of the molecular mechanisms by which the FRT interacts with sperm and influences sperm fate remains limited. Here, we used sex-specific isotopic labeling to identify female-derived proteins that contribute to the sperm proteome after long-term storage in the female’s sperm storage organs. In combination with whole-cell quantitative proteomics to track the protein composition of sperm across three female reproductive tissues (bursa, seminal receptacle, and spermatheca) and three post-mating timepoints (30 minutes, 2 hours, and 4 days), as well as an expansion of the seminal vesicle sperm proteome, our data provide a comprehensive, quantitative analysis of the molecular life history of Drosophila sperm.
