Regulation of meiotic progression by Sertoli-cell androgen signaling

ABSTRACT: We combine synchronization of spermatogenesis, cytological analyses and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) in the Sertoli cell androgen receptor knockout (SCARKO) mutant and control mice, and demonstrate that SCARKO mutant spermatocytes exhibited normal expression and localization of key protein markers of meiotic prophase events, indicating that initiation of meiotic prophase is not androgen dependent, whereas scRNA-seq analysis revealed a molecular transcriptomic block in an early meiotic prophase state (leptotene/zygotene) in mutant germ cells, and identified several misregulated genes in SCARKO Sertoli cells, many of which have been previously implicated in male infertility.

Screening of genes involved in chromosome segregation in meiosis I

Project description:Prophase I of male meiosis involves dynamic chromosome segregation processes during early spermatogenesis, including synapsis, meiotic recombination, and cohesion. Genetic defects in genes participating in these processes consistently cause reproduction failure in mice. To identify candidate genes responsible for infertility in humans, we performed expression profiling of mouse spermatogenic cells undergoing meiotic prophase I. Cell fractions enriched in spermatogonia, leptotene/zygotene spermatocytes, or pachytene spermatocytes were separately isolated from mouse testes for RNA extraction. To minimize the contamination of other cell types, we fractionated the testicular cells undergoing the first round of spermatogenesis using Percoll gradient procedure. The cell fractions were characterized by morphological analysis by phase contrast microscopy and Nomarski interference microscopy, and then expression of cell lineage- and spermatogenesis stage-specific genes were examined by RT-PCR. The most enriched fractions for spermatogonia (fraction2 from day8), leptotene/zygotene spermatocytes (fraction5 from day12), and pachytene spermatocytes (fraction8 from day15) were subjected to hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Functional roles of Acetylated Histone Marks at Mouse Meiotic Recombination Hotspots (expression)

Project description:Meiotic recombination is initiated by the Spo11 endonuclease, which directs DNA double strand breaks at discrete regions in the genome coined hotspots. Here we report the profiles and dynamics of histone modifications at the cores of mouse recombination hotspots in early meiotic prophase. To define the spectrum of possible regulators of histone methylation and acetylation at all stages of meiosis I, expression analyses of histone acetylases/deacetylases (HATs/HDACs) and and HMTs/HDMTs genes when comparing those expressed in spermatogonia, pre-leptotene and leptotene/zygotene versus pachytene meiotic stages.

3D genome remodeling and homologous pairing during meiotic prophase of mouse oogenesis and spermatogenesis

Project description:We comprehensively compared the chromatin structures and transcriptomes in successive substages of female and male mouse meiotic prophase by using sisHi-C and RNA-Seq methods. Interestingly, the transcriptional change happened earlier than chromatin structures reprograming that chromatin structures largely maintained the pre-meiotic condition in leptotene. Also, compartments and TADs gradually disappeared and then slowly recovered in both oocytes and spermatocytes. We characterized the events of homologous chromosomes pairing and found homologues adopted two sex-conserved pairing strategies prior to and after leptotene-to-zygotene transition, which firstly contacted more frequently in LINE enriched compartment B and then switched to SINE enriched compartment A. The sexual difference of transcriptome was most obvious in late meiotic prophase, which reflected in gamete morphology and function differences. We also complemented marker genes for each substage of oocytes and spermatocytes meiotic prophase, and predicted the sex-specific meiotic functional genes, whose mutation or deletion may cause sex different effects on fertility. In summary, this study revealed the sexual similarities and dimorphic of higher-order chromatin architecture, homologous pairing and transcriptome during meiotic prophase of both oogenesis and spermatogenesis.

Global identification of genes specific for rice meiosis

Project description:The leptotene-zygotene transition is a major step in meiotic progression during which pairing between homologous chromosomes is initiated and double strand breaks occur. OsAM1, a homolog of maize AM1 and Arabidopsis SWI1, encodes a protein with a coiled-coil domain in its central region that is required for the leptotene-zygotene transition during rice meiosis. To gain more insight into the role of OsAM1 in rice meiosis and to identify additional meiosis-specific genes, we characterized the transcriptomes of young panicles of Osam1 mutant and wild-type rice plants using RNA-Seq, bioinformatic and statistical analyses. As a result, a total of 25,750 and 28,455 genes were expressed in young panicles of wild-type and Osam1 mutant plants, respectively, and 4,400 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; log2 Ratio ≥ 1, FDR ≤ 0.05) were identified. Of these DEGs, four known rice meiosis-specific genes were detected, and 22 new putative meiosis-related genes were found by mapping these DEGs to reference biological pathways in the KEGG database. We identified eight additional well-conserved OsAM1-responsive rice meiotic genes by comparing our RNA-Seq data with known meiotic genes in Arabidopsis and fission yeast. We sequenced the transcriptome of young panicles of Osam1 mutant and wild-type rice.

Identification and characterization of BEND2 as a novel and key regulator of meiosis during mouse spermatogenesis [RNA-seq]

Project description:To describe the changes of transcriptome in Bend2 knockout mice, we conducted RNA-seq analyses by using leptotene and zygotene spermatocytes from Bend2 WT and KO mice. We found BEND2 contributes to shutting down the mitotic program and to activating or enhancing the meiotic and post-meiotic program of spermatogenic cells.

Defining the developmental program leading to meiosis in maize

Project description:We isolated pre-meiotic and early meiotic cells from 24 maize anthers, covering a week of development from the day after archesporial (AR) cell specification to the early zygotene stage of meiotic prophase I. Starting material was staged by anther length, and anther stages were densely sampled from throughout this period. High quality reads were obtained from 144 cells.

Genome-wide Map of R-loop Reveals its interplays with Transcription and Genome Integrity during Germ Cell Meiosis

Project description:R-loop is a three-strand nucleic acid structure composed of mRNA and DNA. In mammalian meiotic cells, R-loop mainly distributed at promoter-related regions, and combined with systematically transcriptome analysis showed R-loop was closely related to transcription in meiotic process. Moreover, knockout of Rnaseh1 in meiotic cells caused mice completely sterile with R-loop accumulation and abnormal DSB repairing in spermatocytes. Further analysis showed R-loop accumulation in leptotene/zygotene influenced transcriptional regulation in pachytene stage. Thus, mutual regulation of R-loop and transcription plays essential role in spermatogenesis.

Unravelling the proteomic profile of rice meiocytes during early meiosis

Project description:Transfer of genetic traits from wild or related species into cultivated rice is nowadays an important aim in rice breeding. Breeders use genetic crosses to introduce desirable genes from exotic germplasms into cultivated rice varieties. However, in many hybrids there is only a low level of pairing (if existing) and recombination at early meiosis between cultivated rice and wild relative chromosomes. With the objective of getting deeper into the knowledge of the proteins involved in early meiosis, when chromosomes associate correctly in pairs and recombine, the proteome of isolated rice meiocytes has been characterized by nLC-MS/MS at every stage of early meiosis (prophase I). Up to 1316 different proteins have been identified in rice isolated meiocytes in early meiosis, being 422 exclusively identified in early prophase I (leptotene, zygotene or pachytene). The classification of proteins in functional groups showed that 167 were related to chromatin structure and remodelling, nucleic acid binding, cell-cycle regulation and cytoskeleton. Moreover, the putative roles of sixteen proteins which have not been previously associated to meiosis or were not identified in rice before, are also discussed namely: seven proteins involved in chromosome structure and remodeling, five regulatory proteins (such as SKP1 (OSK), a putative CDK2 like efector), a protein with RNA recognition motifs, a neddylation-related protein, and two microtubule-related proteins. Revealing the proteins involved in early meiotic processes could provide a valuable tool kit to manipulate chromosome associations during meiosis in rice breeding programs.
