Project description:Mammalian spermatogenesis is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms that maintain cell type-specific transcriptional programs. The epigenetic regulator BMI1, a PRC1 member, is required for maintaining undifferentiated spermatogonia, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this issue, here we performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis in both wild type and Bmi1 knockdown spermatogonia populations.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this sequencing is to investigate alterations in gene expression that result from impaired retinoid signaling compared with control, and how the RA signaling controls spermatogonia differentiation Methods: THY1+ spermatogonia mRNA profiles of 4-day-old control and germ cell specific impaired retinoid signaling mice were generated by High-throughput sequencing Results: Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the genes at the top of the ranked genes indicated enrichment in genes associated with roles in reproduction, transcription and spermatogenesis. In total, we identified 1633 and 742 transcripts (Reads Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads (RPKM) > 1) that were significantly (p-value < 0.05, > 1.5-fold difference) down- and up-regulated, respectively, in the germ cell mutants compared with the controls. Most importantly, we found that the majority of transcripts of replication-dependent core histone genes, histone cluster 1 (Hist1) were downregulated in germ cell mutants. THY1+ spermatogonia mRNA profiles of 4-day old germ cell specific impaired retinoid signaling and control mice were generated by deep sequencing, twice, using Illumina HiSeq 2000

Project description:Embryogenesis requires the timely and coordinated activation of developmental regulators. It has been suggested that the recently discovered class of histone demethylases (UTX and JMJD3) that specifically target the repressive H3K27me3 modification play an important role in the activation of M-bM-^@M-^\bivalentM-bM-^@M-^] genes in response to specific developmental cues. To determine the requirements for UTX in pluripotency and development, we have generated Utx null ES cells and mutant mice. The loss of UTX had a profound effect during embryogenesis. Utx null embryos had reduced somite counts, neural tube closure defects and heart malformation which presented between E9.5 and E13.5. Unexpectedly, homozygous mutant female embryos were more severely affected than hemizygous mutant male embryos. In fact, we observed the survival of a subset of UTX-deficient males which were smaller in size and had reduced life-span. Interestingly, these animals were fertile with normal spermatogenesis. Consistent with a mid-gestation lethality, UTX null male and female ES cells gave rise to all three germ layers in teratoma assays although sex-specific differences could be observed in the activation of developmental regulators in embryoid body assays. Lastly, ChIP-seq analysis revealed an increase in H3K27me3 in Utx null male ES cells. In summary, our data demonstrate sex-specific requirements for this X-linked gene while suggesting a role for UTY during development.

Project description:A bioenergetic balance between glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration is particularly important for stem cell fate specification. It however remains to be determined whether undifferentiated spermatogonia switch their preference of bioenergy production during differentiation. In this study, we found that ATP generation in spermatogonia was gradually increased upon retinoic acid-induced differentiation. To accommodate this elevated energy demand, retinoic acid signaling concomitantly switched ATP production in spermatogonia from glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration, accompanied by increased levels of reactive oxygen species. In addition, inhibition of glucose conversion to glucose-6-phosphate or pentose phosphate pathway blocked the formation of c-Kit+ differentiating germ cells, suggesting that metabolites produced from glycolysis are required for spermatogonial differentiation. We further demonstrated that the expression levels of several metabolic regulators and enzymes were significantly altered upon retinoic acid-induced differentiation by both RNA-seq analyses and quantitative proteomics. Taken together, our data unveil a critically regulated bioenergetic balance between glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration which is required for spermatogonial proliferation and differentiation.

Project description:Maintenance and self-renewal of the spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) population is the cornerstone of male fertility. In this manuscript we have identified a key role for the nucleosome remodelling protein Chromodomain Helicase DNA binding protein 4 (CHD4) in regulating SSC function. Gene expression analyses revealed that CHD4 expression is largely restricted to spermatogonia in the mouse testis, and is particularly enriched in SSCs. Using spermatogonial transplantation techniques and RNAi mediated knockdown it was established that loss of Chd4 expression significantly impairs SSC regenerative capacity, resulting in a ~50% reduction in colonisation of recipient testes. A single cell RNA-seq comparison depicted reduced expression of ‘self-renewal’ genes such as Gfra1 and Pten following Chd4 knockdown, along with increased expression of signature progenitor genes, Neurog3 and Dazl. Co-immunoprecipitation analyses demonstrated that CHD4 regulates gene expression in spermatogonia not only though its traditional association with the remodelling complex NuRD, but also via interaction with the GDNF-responsive transcription factor SALL4. Cumulatively, the results of this study depict a previously unappreciated fundamental role for CHD4 in controlling fate decisions in the spermatogonial pool.

Project description:In the present study, we show that UTX plays an essential role in resolving and activating many retinoic acid (RA)-inducible bivalent genes during the RA-driven differentiation of mouse ESCs treated with a physiologically relevant RA concentration (0.2 μM). We showed that UTX loss and UTX knockdown interfered with the RA-induced differentiation of mouse ESCs. Therefore, our findings indicate that the UTX-mediated resolution and activation of many RA-inducible bivalent genes, including numerous Hoxa-d cluster genes, are required for RA-driven differentiation of mouse ESCs. ChIP-Seq data for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 were generated along with input data for mouse stem cells with wild type or UTX-depleted genotype and with or without RA treatment.

Project description:We use ChIP-seq targeting histone 3 lysine 4 mono-methylation (H3K4me1) to identify putative enhancer sites genome-wide, in the retrosplenial cortex of adult prairie vole males. ChIP samples were generated by targeting a known enhancer mark (H3K4me1) in chromatin extracted from the retrosplenial cortex of 8 males. Illumina libraries were prepared from ChIP and INPUT DNA and sequenced on Illimuna HiSeq 2500 platform.

Project description:Inactivating mutations in the MEN1 gene predisposing to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome can also cause sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. MEN1 encodes menin, a subunit of MLL1/MLL2-containing histone methyltransferase complexes that trimethylate histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3). The importance of menin-dependent H3K4me3 in normal and transformed pancreatic endocrine cells is unclear. To study the role of menin-dependent H3K4me3, we performed in vitro differentiation of wild-type as well as menin-null mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) into pancreatic islet-like endocrine cells (PILECs). Gene expression analysis and genome-wide H3K4me3 ChIP-Seq profiling in wild-type and menin-null mESCs and PILECs revealed menin-dependent H3K4me3 at the imprinted Dlk1-Meg3 locus in mESCs, and all four Hox loci in differentiated PILECs. Specific and significant loss of H3K4me3 and gene expression was observed for genes within the imprinted Dlk1-Meg3 locus in menin-null mESCs and the Hox loci in menin-null PILECs. Given that the reduced expression of genes within the DLK1-MEG3 locus and the HOX loci is associated with MEN1-like sporadic tumors, our data suggests a possible role for menin-dependent H3K4me3 at these genes in the initiation and progression of sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. Furthermore, our investigation also demonstrates that menin-null mESCs can be differentiated in vitro into islet-like endocrine cells, underscoring the utility of menin-null mESC-derived specialized cell types for genome-wide high-throughput studies. Genome-wide mapping of H3K4me3 and microarray gene expression profiling in TC-1 wild-type (WT) mESCs, menin-null (Men1-ko) mESCs (3.2N), pancreatic islet-like endocrine cells (PILECs) derived from WT mESCs, and PILECs derived from Men1-ko mESCs.
