Single-cell RNAseq analysis of testicular germ and somatic cell development during the perinatal period

ABSTRACT: Pro-spermatogonia (SG) serve as the gateway to spermatogenesis. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (RNAseq), we studied the development of ProSG, their SG descendants, and testicular somatic cells, during the perinatal period in mice. We identified both gene and protein markers for 3 temporally distinct ProSG cell subsets, including a migratory cell population with a distinct transcriptome from the previously defined T1- and T2-ProSG stages. This intermediate (I)-ProSG subset translocates from the center of seminiferous tubules to the spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) “niche” in its periphery soon after birth. We identified 3 undifferentiated SG subsets at postnatal day 7, each of which express distinct genes, including transcription factor and signaling genes. Two of these subsets have the characteristics of newly emergent SSCs. We also molecularly defined the development of Sertoli, Leydig, and peritubular myoid cells during the perinatal period, allowing us to identify candidate signaling pathways acting between somatic and germ cells in a stage-specific manner during the perinatal period. Our study provides a rich resource for those investigating testicular germ and somatic cell developmental during the perinatal period.

Protein composition of the extracellular matrix in idiopathic germ cell aplasia

Project description:The somatic microenvironment supports spermatogonial stem cell differentiation into sperm. Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays multiple roles in the stem cell niche, including self-renewal, proliferation, differentiation and survival of spermatogonial cells. The pathophysiology of male infertility might be representative of a progressive degenerative process of the testicular tissue, including ECM, rather than a defective genetic background, thus outlining the existence of chronic etiological agents/pathways. In this context, we sought to identify potential causative factors responsible for a number of modifications of the testicular somatic microenvironment associated with idiopathic germ cell aplasia in human beings. Proteomic analysis of the decellularized ECM was performed to study testis parenchyma from 10 idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermic (iNOA) men, dichotomized according to positive sperm retrieval versus germ cell aplasia. Germ cell aplasia was characterized by an increased nuclear distribution of the retinoic acid receptor in Sertoli cells which was associated with decreased expression of the ECM markers, Nidogen-2 and Heparan sulfate proteoglycan-2. Decreased levels of the interstitial matrisome associated Factor IX and its regulator VKORC1 were instead coupled with decreased signaling of vitamin K in Leydig cells. This study identified pathogenetic signature of the somatic testicular microenvironment and provide mechanistic insights into the molecular determinants of human idiopathic germ cell aplasia.

10X genomics single cell sequencing of sheep testis

Project description:Sheep testes undergo a dramatic rate of development with structural changes during sexual maturity, including the proliferation and maturation of somatic niche cells and the initiation of spermatogenesis. To explore this complex process, 12,843 testicular cells from three sexual maturity (3 month-old) rams were sequenced using 10x Genomic platform single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq).Nine testicular somatic cell types and five male germ cell types were observed.The study revealed significant changes in germline stem cells during sexual maturation. Candidate factors and pathways for the regulation of germ and somatic cell development were identified that represent the scientific basis for the development of a livestock stem cell breeding program.

Transcription profiling of mammalian male germ cells undergoing mitotic growth, meiosis and gametogenesis in highly enriched cell populations

Project description:We report a comprehensive large-scale expression profiling analysis of mammalian male germ cells undergoing mitotic growth, meiosis and gametogenesis using High Density Oligonucleotide Microarrays and highly enriched cell populations. Among 11955 rat loci investigated, 1268 were identified as differentially transcribed in germ cells at subsequent developmental stages as compared to total testis, somatic Sertoli cells as well as brain and skeletal muscle controls. The loci were organized into four expression clusters that correspond to somatic, mitotic, meiotic and post-meiotic cell types. This work provides information about expression patterns of approximately 200 genes known to be important during male germ cell development. Approximately 40 of those are included in a group of 121 transcripts for which we report germ cell expression and lack of transcription in three somatic control cell types. Moreover, we demonstrate the testicular expression and transcriptional induction in mitotic, meiotic and/or post-meiotic germ cells of 293 as yet uncharacterized transcripts some of which are likely to encode factors involved in spermatogenesis and fertility. This group also contains numerous potential germ cell specific targets for innovative contraceptives. A graphical display of the data is conveniently accessible through the GermOnline database at http://www.germonline.org.

Molecular portrait of cisplatin induced response in human testis cancer cell lines based on gene expression profiles

Project description:Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common tumors in young men. Fortunately, TGCTs respond very well to cisplatin -based chemotherapy and show a low incidence of acquired resistance compared to most somatic tumors. This high sensitivity also applies to more than 80% of all TGCTs with metastatic disease. The reasons for this particularly high sensitivity of male germ cell tumors to chemotherapy seem to be multifactorial. To study this phenomenon, we have addressed the issue of whether cisplatin produces germ cell tumor specific gene expression profiles using testicular germ cell tumor derived cell lines. By means of microarray technology, we have analyzed cisplatin-induced gene expression in two well characterized human testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) derived cell lines (833K and GCT27) which are sensitive to cisplatin treatment, and in a human colon carcinoma cell line (HCT116), to compare responses in germ cell tumor cell lines with those of tumor cells of somatic origin. We further evaluate the male germ cell tumor specificity, by mining available public databases and literature. By using SAM analysis, we identified 1794 differentially expressed genes. Among these, 1180 genes were over-expressed in TGCT cells and under-expressed in HCT116 cells and 614 genes were down-regulated in TGCT cells and up-regulated in HCT116 cells after exposure to cisplatin. Functional classification of these genes showed that they participate in a variety of different and widely distributed functional categories and biochemical pathways.

RNA-Seq of testicular peritubular myoid cells, other testicular cells, and other tissue smooth muscle-like cells

Project description:In addition to germ cell population, testes contain several types of somatic cells, including Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and peritubular myoid (PTM) cells. PTM cells are a type of smooth muscle-like cells and have contraction ability. To identify a marker of PTM cells, we isolated primary cells and subsequently performed RNA-Seq of testicular peritubular myoid cells (PTM_1, PTM_2, PTM_3), testicular Sertoli cells (Sertoli_1, Sertoli_2, Sertoli_3), testicular Leydig cells (Leydig_1, Leydig_2, Leydig_3), testicular germ cells (Germ_1, Germ_2, Germ_3), vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC_1, VSMC_2, VSMC_3), intestinal smooth muscle cells (ISMC_1, ISMC_2, ISMC_3), and tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMC_1, TSMC_2, TSMC_3) using BGISEQ-500 platform (BGI, China).

Newt (Cynops pyrrhogaster) testis proteomics during FSH/PRL stimulations

Project description:Newt testis is an appropriate model to isolate germ cells at a specific stage and study the effect of various factors on specific stage of spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis is an essential process for sexual reproduction in development. It is triggered by the sequential mitotic divisions of spermatogonia, followed by their differentiation into spermatocytes. After two meiotic divisions, spermatocytes develop into spermatids, which possess half the normal complement of genetic material, and then into spermatozoa, mature male gametes in many sexually reproducing organisms. This complex process is controlled by cooperation with several hormones and testicular somatic cells, such as Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Prolactin (PRL). They are secreted by the pituitary gland and act on testicular somatic cells, mainly Sertoli cells, through the specific receptor. Sertoli cells have essential roles in the regulation of spermatogenesis. They not only represent the only cellular component of the blood–testis barrier but also produce and secrete local factors to germ cells. In this study, Primary Sertoli cells were established from Newt testis, and analyzed their proteome changes during the stimulation of FSH/PRL by 2D-DIGE (IC-Dyes).

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in mouse perinatal testes [scATAC-seq]

Project description:We report the application of single-cell ATAC-seq to reconstruct the epigenetic program and identify key transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements during the perinatal testiscular develpment. First, we constructed sequencing libraries from testes collected from E18.5, PND0, PND3 and PND6 mice. The cell clusters identidied from scATAC-seq were assigned to known testicular cell types, including germ cells, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, peritubular myoid cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells and blood cells. We then constructed pseudotime developmental trajectories and identified transcription factor regulators for each cell type. Lastly, we identified cis-regulatory elements such peak-to-gene linkages across testis.
