Differentially expressed genes in undifferentiated spermatogonia at single cell level following a low dose of busulfan

ABSTRACT: Spermatogonial stem cells are responsible for sustaining gametes production and male fertiliy in men. However, germ cells including SSCs are highly sensitive to chemotherapies and radiations, placing male cancer patients at high risk of treatment-induce infertility. We have previously shown that the undifferentiated spermatogonial population of mouse testis is functionally heterogeneous and contain both stem cells and committed progenitor cells. Using mouse model of chemotherapy-induced germline damage and recovery, we aim to define molecular charactersitics, dynamics and heterogeneity of undifferentiated spermatogonia during germline regeneration compared to homeostatic undifferentiated spermatogonia.

Identification of genes involved in germline regeneration in adult undifferentiated spermatogonia following a low dose busulfan treatment

Project description:Mammalian spermatogenesis and male fertility are sustained by a small population of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in the testis. In particular, germ cells are highly sensitive to chemotherapies and radiation, placing male cancer patients at a higher risks of treatment-induced infertility. While SSCs surive the treatment may restore the germline and ferility, it remains unknown how SSCs mediate the regenerative responses to re-establish the germline. In this study, we used a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced germline damage and recovery to identify differentially expressed genes in homeostatic (from untreated control mice) versus regenerative SSCs (busulfan-treated mice) and potential effectors driving the initiation of regeneration.

Identification of gene targets of the transcription factor SALL4 in undifferentiated spermatogonia

Project description:Sustained spermatogenesis in adult males and recovery of fertility following germ cell depletion are dependent on undifferentiated spermatogonia with self-renewal potential. We have previously demonstrated a critical role for the transcription factor Spalt-like 4 (SALL4) in spermatogonial differentiation. However, it remains unclear whether SALL4 has broader roles within the spermatogonial pool despite its ability to co-regulate genes with PLZF, a transcription factor required for undifferentiated cell maintenance. To identify genes regulated by SALL4 in the male germline, we established cultures of undifferentiated spermatogonia from a Sall4 inducible knockout mouse model. Cells were treated with vehicle (as control) or tamoxifen to induce gene deletion, then cells harvested and analysed by microarray to identify genes mis-expressed upon loss of SALL4.

Identification of DDX5 target genes in spermatogonia

Project description:Sustained spermatogenesis in adult males and recovery of fertility following germ cell depletion are dependent on undifferentiated spermatogonia with self-renewal potential. Self-renewal of undifferentiated spermatogonia is dependent on a complex network of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory factors. DDX5 is known to act as a transcriptional co-regulator in other systems through interactions with key transcription factors. Here, we performed ChIP-Seq to identify target genes of DDX5 in cultured undifferentiated spermatogonia in order to elucidate its role in maintenance of the male germline.

DIS3L2 is an essential regulator of spermatogonial differentiation in mice

Project description:Using conditional knockout mice model, here we report the essential role of DIS3L2 in regulating male germline proliferation, growth and differentiation to ensure male fertility. We document that DIS3L2 is essential for spermatogonial homeostasis. DIS3L2-specific deletion in spermatogonia results in the reduction of the undifferentiated spermatogonial population and the block in transition to the differentiating stage in postnatal testes.

Conserved Spermatogonial Gene Networks Couple to Glutathione and Pentose Phosphate Metabolism but not Cysteine Biosynthesis

Project description:Here, gene profiles in rat spermatogonial stem cell lines are compared to publicly available mouse, monkey and human spermatogonial gene profiles. Interestingly, rat spermatogonia expressed metabolic control factors Foxa1, Foxa2 and Foxa3. Germline Foxa2 was enriched in Gfra1Hi and Gfra1Low undifferentiated A-single spermatogonia. Foxa2-bound loci in spermatogonial chromatin were over-represented by conserved stemness genes (Dusp6, Gfra1, Etv5, Rest, Nanos2, Foxp1) that intersect bioinformatically with conserved glutathione/pentose phosphate metabolism genes (Tkt, Gss, Gclc, Gclm, Gpx1, Gpx4, Fth), marking elevated spermatogonial GSH:GSSG. Cystine-uptake and intracellular conversion to cysteine typically couple glutathione biosynthesis to pentose phosphate metabolism. Rat spermatogonia, curiously, displayed poor germline stem cell viability in cystine-containing media, and, like primate spermatogonia, exhibited reduced transsulfuration pathway markers. Exogenous cysteine, cysteine-like mercaptans, somatic testis cells and ferroptosis inhibitors counteracted the cysteine starvation-induced spermatogonial death and stimulated spermatogonial growth factor activity in vitro.

Analysis of gene expression heteroegeneity in adult undifferentiated spermatogonia [single-cell RNA-Seq]

Project description:The undifferentiated spermatogonial population of mouse testis is functionally heterogeneous and contains stem cells and committed progenitor cells. However, gene expression patterns marking these distinct cell fractions are poorly defined. Therefore, our aim was to profile gene expression of undifferentiated cells by RNA-Seq at the single cell level. Undifferentiated cells were therefore isolated from adult mouse testes based on expression of a Plzf/Zbtb16 gene reporter, which marks both stem and progenitor spermatogonia. Isolated cells were then processed using the 10X Chromium system and analysed by RNA-Seq. Our goal was to characterize distinct subsets of undifferentiated spermatogonia based on gene expression patterns.

EGR4-dependent decrease of UTF1 is associated with failure to reserve spermatogonial stem cells in infertile men

Project description:Despite the high incidence of male infertility, about 70% of infertile men do not receive a causative diagnosis. To gain insights into the regulatory mechanisms governing human germ cell function in normal and impaired spermatogenesis (crypto group), we combined single cell RNA sequencing (>30.000 cells), proteome, and histomorphometric analyses of testicular tissues. We found major alterations in the crypto spermatogonial compartment with increased numbers of the most undifferentiated spermatogonia (PIWIL4+ State 0 cells). We also observed a transcriptional switch within the spermatogonial compartment driven by the increased and prolonged expression of the transcription factor EGR4. Intriguingly, EGR4-regulated genes included the chromatin-associated transcriptional repressor UTF1, which was downregulated. Histomorphometrical analyses showed that these transcriptional changes were mirrored at the protein level and accompanied by a change in the chromatin structure of spermatogonia. This resulted in a reduction of Adark spermatogonia - characterized by tightly compacted chromatin and serving as reserve stem cells. These findings suggest that crypto patients are at a disadvantage especially in cases of gonadotoxic damage as they have less cells to help repopulate the testis. We hypothesize that the more relaxed chromatin status of spermatogonia is dependent on decreased UTF1 expression caused by EGR4 activation. These identified regulators of the spermatogonial compartment will be highly interesting targets to uncover genetic causes of male infertility.
