The chromatin remodeler Snf2h is essential for oocyte meiotic cell cycle progression

ABSTRACT: Oocytes are indispensable for mammalian life. Thus, it is important to understand how mature oocytes are generated. As a critical stage of oocytes development, meiosis has been extensively studied, yet how chromatin remodeling contributes to this process is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor Snf2h (also known as Smarca5) plays a critical role in regulating meiotic cell cycle progression. Females with oocyte-specific depletion of Snf2h are infertile and oocytes lacking Snf2h fail to undergo meiotic resumption. Mechanistically, depletion of Snf2h results in dysregulation of meiosis-related genes, which causes failure of maturation-promoting factor (MPF) activation. ATAC-seq analysis in oocytes revealed that Snf2h regulates transcription of a key meiotic gene, Prkar2b, by increasing its promoter chromatin accessibility. Our studies thus not only demonstrate the importance of Snf2h in oocyte meiotic resumption, but also reveal the mechanism underlying how a chromatin remodeling factor can regulate oocyte meiosis.

The E2 SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBE2I is essential for chromatin dynamics and transcriptional silencing in mouse oocytes

Project description:In mammals, meiotically competent oocytes develop cyclically during ovarian folliculogenesis. During their development, prophase I arrested oocytes are highly transcriptionally active in preparation for the resumption of meiosis and early stages of embryogenesis prior to the maternal to zygotic transition. Defective oocyte development during folliculogenesis leads to meiotic defects, aneuploidy, follicular atresia, or non-viable embryos. SUMOylation, a dynamic post-translational protein modification, is essential for oocyte development during folliculogenesis and to regulate meiotic maturation in mice. We generated a novel oocyte-specific knockout of Ube2i, the sole SUMO E2 ligase, to test its role growing ovarian follicles using Zp3-cre. Ube2i Zp3-cre+ female mice are sterile with oocytes with defects in meiotic progression but not meiotic resumption. Importantly, fully grown oocytes do not silence transcription and prematurely activate the zygotic transcriptional program. This work uncovers unknown functions of UBE2i as a key orchestrator of chromatin and transcriptional regulation in oocytes.

ISWI chromatin remodeler SMARCA5 is essential for meiotic gene expression and male fertility in mammals

Project description:Regulation of the transcriptome to promote meiosis is important for sperm development and fertility. However, how chromatin remodeling directs the transcriptome during meiosis in male germ cells is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the ISWI family ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor SMARCA5 (SNF2H) plays a critical role in regulating meiotic prophase progression during spermatogenesis. Males with germ cell-specific depletion of SMARCA5 are infertile and unable to form sperm. Loss of Smarca5 results in failure of meiotic progression with abnormal spermatocytes beginning at the pachytene stage and an aberrant global increase in chromatin accessibility, especially at genes important for meiotic prophase.

Single-cell multi-omics profiling reveals key regulatory mechanisms that poise germinal vesicle oocytes for maturation in pigs

Project description:The molecular mechanisms controlling the transition from meiotic arrest (germinal vesicle stage) to meiotic resumption (germinal vesicle breakdown stage) in mammalian oocytes have not been fully elucidated. Single-cell omics technology provides a new opportunity to decipher the early molecular events of oocyte maturation in mammals. Here we focused on analyzing oocytes that are collected from antral follicles of porcine puberty ovary. We used single-cell M&T-seq technology to analyze the nuclear DNA methylome and cytoplasmic transcriptome in parallel for 62 oocytes. We developed a package of pipelines for single-cell methylomics analysis, namely methyConcerto, to specifically and comprehensively characterize the methylation state and allele-specific methylation events for a single cell. We also performed 10X Genomics single-cell transcriptomic analyses to explore the bi-directional cell-cell communications within antral follicles. We characterized the gene expression and DNA methylation programs of individual oocytes in porcine antral follicle, thereby enabled defining two distinct types of oocytes, one of which is significantly more poised for maturation. Significantly differentially expressed or allele-specifically methylated genes were enriched in “RNA metabolism”, “oocyte meiosis” important signaling pathways, e.g., HIF-1/Ras/mTOR/Phospholipase D/ErbB signaling pathways etc. These results are in concert with the cellular communication results. We further confirmed Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 (IRS-1) in insulin signaling pathway is a key regulator of germinal vesicle stage oocyte maturation by in vitro maturation experiments. Our study provides new insights into the regulatory mechanisms between meiotic arrest and meiotic resumption in mammalian oocytes. We also provide a new analytical package for future single-cell methylomics study.

LSM14B is essential for oocyte meiotic maturation by regulating maternal mRNA storage and clearance

Project description:Fully grown oocytes remain transcriptionally quiescent, yet many maternal mRNAs are synthesized and retained in growing oocytes. We now know that maternal mRNAs are stored in a structure called the mitochondria associated ribonucleoprotein domain (MARDO). But the components and functions of MARDO remain elusive. Here, we found that LSM14B knockout prevents the proper storage and timely clearance of mRNAs (including Cyclin B1, Btg4, and other mRNAs that are translationally activated during meiotic maturation), specifically by disrupting MARDO assembly during oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. With decreased levels of storage and clearance, the LSM14B knockout oocytes failed to enter meiosis II, ultimately resulting in female infertility. Our results demonstrate the function of LSM14B in MARDO assembly, couple the MARDO with mRNA clearance and oocyte meiotic maturation

Granulosa cell mevalonate pathway abnormalities contribute to oocyte meiotic defects and aneuploidy [HiC GGOH-treatment]

Project description:The mechanisms of aging-related oocyte aneuploidy remain elusive. Hi-C and SMART-seq revealed aging-related decreases in chromosome condensation, particularly for genomic regions proximal to the centromeres, accompanied with disrupted meiosis-associated gene expression in metaphase I (MI) aged oocytes. Further transcriptomic analysis showed that oocyte meiotic maturation was correlated with robust increases in mevalonate (MVA) pathway gene expression in young oocyte-surrounding granulosa cells (GCs), which was largely downregulated in aged GCs. Inhibtion of MVA metabolism in GCs by statins resulted in marked meiotic defects and aneuploidy in young cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). Conversely, supplementation with the MVA isoprenoid geranylgeraniol ameliorated meiotic defects and aneuploidy in aged COCs. Meanwhile, geranylgeraniol also activated LHR/EGF signaling in aged GCs and then enhanced the meiosis-associated gene expression in oocytes. Generally, the MVA pathway in GCs is a critical regulator of meiotic maturation and euploidy in oocytes.

PABPN1 promotes meiotic maturation of oocytes by interacting with PAPOLA

Project description:Poly(A) polymerase α (PAPα), as the specific mRNA polyadenylation enzyme in the cytoplasm of mammalian oocytes, is essential for oocytes to exclude the first polar body. However, PAPα knockout did not affect germinal vesicles breakdown (GVBD) of oocytes, and the mechanism needs to be further explored. In this study, we identified that PAPα work together with poly(A)-bound RNA binding protein PABPN1 to promote the rupture of germinal vesicles in mammalian oocytes. The protein level of Pabpn1 gradually increases with the meiotic maturation of oocytes. The oocytes specifically knocked out Pabpn1 at the primary follicle stage could develop into the fully grown (FGO) stage, but hardly could enter into the meiotic process. The activated form of CDK1 was injected into Pabpn1-null oocytes, the oocytes could enter into meiotic process. The translational activity of Pabpn1-null oocytes was significantly lower than that of wild-type oocytes during meiosis. In particular, the expression level of protein (BTG4 and CDC25), which were essential for the meiotic maturation of oocytes, were significantly decreased. Therefore, during the oocyte meiosis process, PABPN1 and PAPα jointly promote the oocyte to enter the meiosis process.

Granulosa cell mevalonate pathway abnormalities contribute to oocyte meiotic defects and aneuploidy [RNA-seq Human Granulosa cells]

Project description:The mechanisms of oocyte meiotic defects and low competence during ovarian aging remains elusive for decades. Using Hi-C (genome-wide chromatin conformation capture) and Smart RNA-seq of oocytes from 6- weeks or 10- months aged ovaries, the abnormal loose chromatin structures and disturbing expression of meiosis associated genes at metaphase I phase were disclosed. Furthermore, the transcriptomic landscape of granulosa cells (GCs) surrounding oocytes from young and aged ovaries reveled that oocyte meiotic maturation was accompanied with a robust increased expression of genes involved with the mevalonate (MVA) pathway in GCs from young ovaries but these genes expression was not upregulated to counterpart level in GCs from aged ovaries.The inhibitor of MVA pathway of GCs, Statins significantly decreased polar body extrusion rate and increased the rate of irregularly assembled spindles and misaligned chromosomes remarkably in oocytes of culumus-oocyte complex (COCs) from young ovaries . Correspondingly, the activitor of MVA pathway of GCs, Geranylgeraniol ameliorated ovarian reserve and reduced meiotic defects in oocytes of COCs from aged ovaries. Mechanistically, MVA pathway activation in GCs culminated oocyte meiotic maturation by upregulating EGF signaling via LH receptor on GCs surrounding oocytes. Together, MVA pathway is a promising therapeutic target for prompting quality of oocytes from aged ovaries.
