Project description:To elucidate the complex physiological process of testis development and spermatogenesis in Sika deer, this study evaluated the changes of mRNA profiles in the four developmental stages of testis the juvenile (1-year-old), adolescence (3-year-old), adult (5-year-old) and aged (10-year-old) stages. The results showed that total total of 23558 differentially expressed (DE) unigenes were obtained. 14918 (8413 up and 6505 down), 4988 (2453 up and 2535 down), 5681 (2929 up and 2752 down) DE unigenes were identified in 3-vs.1-, 5-vs.3- and 10-vs.5-year-old testes, respectively. By integrating mRNA expression profiles, we predicted 10790 mRNA-mRNA interaction sites. The target genes were enriched by GO and KEGG pathways to obtain DE mRNA (ALKBH5, Piwil, HIF1A, BRDT, etc.), which play an important role in testis development and spermatogenesis. The data show that DE mRNAs could regulate testis developmental and spermatogenesis through signaling pathways, including MAPK signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, etc. It provides a useful resource for future studies on the role of genes regulation in testis development and spermatogenesis.

Project description:The testis is an important reproductive organ in male mammals, serving as the site for spermatogenesis, androgen synthesis, and secretion. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) plays an important regulatory role in various biological processes. However, the regulatory role of ncRNAs on yak testicular development and spermatogenesis is still largely unclear. In this study, the expression profiles of circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA in testicular tissues were compared between 6 months (Y6M), 18 months (Y18M), and 4 years old (Y4Y), with a significant difference in testicular development using RNA-seq. A total of 22 differentially expressed circRNAs (DE circRNAs), 69 differentially expressed miRNAs (DE miRNAs), and 64 differentially expressed mRNA (DE mRNAs) were detected in testicular samples of Y6M, Y18M, and Y4Y, respectively. Furthermore, GO and KEGG analysis results showed that the source genes of DE circRNAs, predicted target genes of DE miRNAs, and DE mRNAs concentrated on signaling pathways and GO terms that were related to sperm synthesis, vitality, and testicular development, such as cell cycle, Wnt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, GnRH signaling pathway, and spermatogenesis process. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network analysis revealed that some differentially expressed non-coding RNAs (DE ncRNAs) may be involved in testicular spermatogenesis, including miR-574, miR-449a, CDC42, CYP11A1 and et al. At the same time, there are various circRNA-miRNA interaction pairs. This study provides a deep understanding of the regulatory network of ncRNA regulation in yak testicular development, providing data support for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms of yak testicular development.

Project description:The semen of Small Tail Han Sheep has characteristics of high yield, high density, and good motility. To reveal the key miRNAs, mRNAs and miR-Targets regulatory mechanisms in Small Tail Han Sheep testes development, integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in 2-, 6-, and 12-month-old testes were investigated by RNA-seq technology and bioinformatics methods. As the results shown: 630, 102, and 322 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs; 5, 1 and 4 DE known miRNAs; 132, 105 and 24 DE novel miRNAs were identified in 2- vs 6-month-old, 6- vs 12-month-old, and 2- vs 12-month-old testes, respectively. GO and pathway analysis showed: in 2- vs 6-month-old testes, DE mRNAs were mainly involved in sexual maturation process and the DE mRNAs were mainly involved in multiple metabolism and biosynthesis pathways; in 6- vs 12-month-old testes, DE mRNAs were mainly involved in metabolism and translation processes, and the most significant pathway that DE mRNAs involved in was ribosome pathway; in 2- vs 12-month-old testes, DE mRNAs were mainly involved in metabolism and physiological processes, and DE mRNAs were mainly involved in multiple metabolism and biosynthesis pathways. Subsequently, 76, 11 and 1 DE miR-Targets were identified in 2- vs 6-month-old, 2- vs 12-month-old, and 6- vs 12-month-old testes, respectively. 3 miR-Target regulatory networks were constructed based on these miR-Targets, which helped to elucidate the regulatory metabolism in Small Tail sheep testes development. Finally, 6 miRNAs and 7 mRNAs were selected to validate the RNA-seq data by RT-PCR.

Project description:In this study, we selected differentially expressed miRNAs through construcing and analyzing the miRNA expression profile during 2-, 6-, and 12- month-old Small Tail Han Sheep ovaries, which provided a theoretical basis for the study of miRNAs regulating the reproduction of Small Tail Han Sheep. RNASeq techniques were used to perform profile analysis for these ovaries. The results showed that 11, 13 and 19 DE miRNAs were identified in 2- vs 6-, 6- vs 12-, and 2- vs 12-month-old ovaries, respectively. In total, 54, 37, and 198 predicted target genes of DE miRNAs were obtained from these three groups, respectively. GO and KEGG analyses showed that, in 2- vs 6-month-olds, the target genes of DE known sheep miRNAs were involved in 102 GO terms and 7 signaling pathways; in 6- vs 12-month-olds, the target genes of DE known sheep miRNAs were involved in 52 GO terms and 3 signaling pathways; and in 2- vs 12-month-olds, the target genes of DE known sheep miRNAs were involved in 88 GO terms and 6 signaling pathways. Three miR–target regulatory networks were constructed based on these DE miRNA–targets. 9 miRNAs were selected to validate the accuracy of miRNA sequencing data by qRT-PCR. The binding sites of oar-miR-432 with RPS6KA1 was validated by a dual luciferase reporter gene detection system. This is the first integrative analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in Small Tail Han Sheep ovarian development. These data help elucidate the molecular regulatory mechanisms in sheep ovarian development and identify the biomarkers that influence reproductive performance of Small Tail Han Sheep ewe.

Project description:Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was performed by commercial agreement with Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI). We have evaluated the miRNA profiles of mouse testis during the spermatogenic progression after ex vivo culture. We have observed that as long as spermatogenesis progress, miRNA expression decreases. However, we have identified some miRNAs that did not follow this expression profile, like miR-34c-5p and miR-449a-5p, with a higher expression in samples where the spermatogenic process was more advanced, which suggest important roles at the last stages of spermatogenesis.

Project description:Hypoxia negatively affects the behavior, growth, reproduction, and survival of fish, causing serious economic losses to aquaculture. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), an important economic fish worldwide, belongs to a hypoxia-sensitive fish species. However, the regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs under hypoxia stress response of rainbow trout remains unclear. In this study, rainbow trout were subjected to hypoxia stress (DO: 3.5 mg/L) for 3 h (H3h_L), 12 h (H12h_L), 24 h (H24h_L) and 3 h reoxygenation (R3h_L) to systemically evaluate the changes of miRNA expression profiles in liver, and the functions of sha-miR-92a_L+2R+4 were investigated. We found 17, 144, 57 and 55 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in H3h_L vs. control (N_L), H12h_L vs. N_L, H24h_L vs. N_L and R3h_L vs. N_L comparisons, respectively. Enrichment analysis revealed that the targets of these DE miRNAs were significantly enriched in HIF signaling pathway, VEGF signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Through miRNA-mRNA nteraction and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), five key DE miRNAs (sha-miR-92a_L+2R+4, ssa-miR-128-3p, ssa-miR-101b-3p_R+1, ola-miR-199a-5p_R+2 and tni-miR-199_1ss18CG) were identified, which can target at least two hypoxia-responsive genes, such as vegfaa, ho, glut1a and junb. Functional analysis found that sha-miR-92a_L+2R+4 directly regulated vegfaa expression by targeting its 3′-UTR, overexpression of sha-miR-92a_L+2R+4 significantly decreased vegfaa expression in rainbow trout liver cells, while opposite results were obtained after transfection of sha-miR-92a_L+2R+4 inhibitor. Furthermore, overexpression of sha-miR-92a_L+2R+4 promoted rainbow trout liver cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. These results deepen our understanding of the crucial roles of miRNAs under hypoxia stress in rainbow trout, and provide valuable information for further studying the regulatory mechanisms of key hypoxia-responsive miRNAs and breeding hypoxia-tolerant rainbow trout species.

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that hypoxia caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can induce evident cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Exosomes, as paracrine signaling mediators by delivering cytosolic components (including miRNA, mRNA, protein), play crucial roles in intercellular communication. However, the systemic regulation of exosome-mediated miRNA delivery and subsequent regulation effect underlying AMI are not well-understood to date. Here, using small RNA-seq, we investigated the miRNAome of H9C2 cells and corresponding paracrine exosmes after hypoxia stress, and identified total of 92 and 62 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in cells and exosomes from hypoxia vs. normoxia condition. We found that hypoxia strongly induced the expression of hypoxamiRs in H9C2 cells and altered cardiomyocyte-derived exosomal miRNAome. Functional enrichment analysis revealed extensive roles of DE exosomal miRNAs in HIF-1 signaling pathway and cell apoptosis process, such as TNF signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, the gain- and loss-of-function analysis demonstrated the anti-apoptotic effects of hypoxia-induced exosomal miRNAs, i.e. miR-21-5p, miR-378-3p, miR-152-3p, let-7i-5p, and then the luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-152-3p and let-7i-5p implemented their anti-apoptotic function by directly targeting Atg12 and Faslg, respectively. In short, this study revealed that hypoxia-exosomes derived from cardiomyocyte, loaded abundant cardio-protective miRNAs, mediate crosstalk among cardiomyocytes and prevent cardiomyocytes apoptosis after hypoxia. Methods: we established the anoxia model using H9C2 cells, an immortal cardiac muscle cell line, to imitate hypoxia condition caused by AMI in vitro, and then small RNA-seq were employed to investigate the miRNA transcriptome of H9C2 cells and its exosomes collected from hypoxia and normoxia culture medium. Results: we identified the miRNAome of H9C2 cells and its exosmes under both hypoxia and normoxia, including 331, 338, 144, 74 unique mature miRNAs from hypoxia-cells, normoxia-cells, hypoxia-exosomes, normoxia-exosomes, respectively. Total of 92 and 62 DE miRNAs were identified from cells and exosomes. Among of which, the DE exosomal miRNAs were mainly involved in HIF-1 signaling pathway and cell apoptosis process, such as TNF signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway. Interestingly, we found that some DE exosomal miRNAs, including miR-21-5p, miR-378-3p, miR-152-3p, let-7i-5p, have an anti-apoptotic and pro-viability effects in H9C2 cells under hypoxic stress. In addition, Atg12 and Faslg to be respective target of miR-152-3p and let-7i-5p were partly elucidated the anti-apoptosis mechanism of hypoxia-exosomes. Conclusions:In brief, this study illustrated a potential mechanism that, under hypoxic stress, hypoxia pre-perceived cardiomyocytes can spontaneously secrete the hypoxamiRs enriched exosomes, loaded a large amount of cardio-protective miRNA, which mediate crosstalk among cardiomyocytes and prevent apoptosis to heighten the hypoxia adaptability of cardiomyocytes. In more detail, we first discovered that miR-152-3p and let-7i-5p, enriched in hypoxia-exosomes derived by cardiomyocytes, played an anti-apoptosis role via mitochondrial pathway(intrinsic pathway) and death receptor pathway (extrinsic pathway), respectively.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding regulatory RNAs that play key roles in many diverse biological processes such as spermatogenesis. However, no study has been performed on the miRNA transcriptome of developing porcine testes. Here, we employed Solexa deep sequencing technology to extend the repertoire of porcine testis miRNAs and extensively compare the expression patterns of the sexually immature and mature porcine testes. Solexa sequencing of two small RNA libraries derived from immature (30 days) and mature (180 days) pig testis samples yielded over 25 million high-quality reads. Overall, the two developmental stages had significantly different small RNA compositions. A custom data analysis pipeline identified 398 known and/or homologous conserved porcine miRNAs, 15 novel pig-specific miRNAs, and 56 novel candidate miRNAs. We further observed multiple mature miRNA variants (isomiRs) and identified a new bidirectional transcribed miRNA locus, ssc-mir-181a. One hundred twenty-two miRNAs were differentially expressed in the immature and mature testes, and 10 were validated using quantitative RT-PCR. Furthermore, GO and KEGG pathway analyses of the predicted miRNA targets further illustrate the likely roles for these differentially expressed miRNAs in spermatogenesis. This study is the first comparative profile of the miRNA transcriptome in immature and mature porcine testes using a deep sequencing approach, and it provides a useful resource for future studies on the role of miRNAs in spermatogenesis and male infertility treatment. microRNA profiling and discovery in two small RNA cDNA libraries derived from sexually immature (30-day) and mature (180-day) pig testes.
