Comprehensive Analysis of the Testis from Wild-Type and Alkbh5- Knockout Mice Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing

ABSTRACT: The RNA demethylase ALKBH5 is regarded as the “eraser” in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. ALKBH5 deficiency has been reported to cause male infertility in mice; however, the mechanisms that confer disruption of spermatogenesis are not completely clear. In this study, we profiled testis samples from wild-type (WT) and Alkbh5 knockout (KO) mice by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). We obtained scRNA-seq data of 5596 and 6816 testis cells from a WT and KO mouse, respectively. Genetic profile differences between the groups were detected at different germ cell development stages, from the development of spermatogonia to sperm cells, as well as in macrophages, Sertoli cells, and Leydig cells. We further focused on differentially expressed genes related to spermatogenesis in germ cells and somatic cells (Sertoli cells and Leydig cells), and identified their functions and associated pathways by gene ontology enrichment analysis, such as chromatin-related functional pathways and Dnah8 gene, This study providing the first scRNA-seq profiles of the testes of ALKBH5-deficient mice highlights that ALKBH5 is an important transcription factor for germ cell development and spermatogenesis with new molecular mechanistic insight. These findings can provide the basis for further research into the causes and treatment of male infertility.

Expression data from Shp2f/f and SCSKO mice testis

Project description:The ability of male reproduction is seriously dependent on Sertoli cells. However, the mechanisms governing the functional integrity of Sertoli cells remained largely unexplored. Tyrosine phosphatase protein Shp2 is expressed in germ, Leydig and Sertoli cells of mice testes. But the physiological role of Shp2 in the spermatogenesis was not fully understood. Thus, we conditionally deleted Shp2 gene in Sertoli cells using two transgenic models, and demonstrated that Shp2 deficiency caused infertility, excessive differentiation of SSCs and abnormal BTB in mice. To further discover the underlying mechanism of Shp2 regulation, we collected the mRNA of testes from wild type or knockout mice at 16.5 fetal day, Postnatal 3 days, 1 weeks, 2 weeks, and then screened the gene expression. Testis tissues from Shp2f/f and SCSKO mice were for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Transcriptome profile of MafB-cKO Sertoli cells.

Project description:MafB is a transcription factor acts as an important regulator of the development and differentiation of various organs and tissues. MafB is expressed in sertoli, leydig, and germ cells in adult mice testis. However, analysis of MafB cKO mice testis showed no dissruption of spermatogenesis or obvious abnormal structure. Thus, the exact function is unclear. We examined any change in the transcriptome profile of MafB-cKO Sertoli cells. Results of signaling pathway analysis of the downregulated genes was related to immune-function but not spermatogenesis.

RNF20 is required for male fertility through H2B ubiquitination in Sertoli cells

Project description:Spermatogenesis is an essential process to generate male gametes in vertebrates, and it has become an important social health problem caused by spermatogenesis disorder. However, the molecular mechanism underlying spermatogenesis, particularly epigenetic modification in Sertoli cells of testis, remain elusive. In this study we generated Rnf20 conditional knockout mice by recombinant mothed, and only to find that Rnf20 knockout in Sertoli cells led to male infertility.

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).

Regulation of meiotic progression by Sertoli-cell androgen signaling

Project description: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.

Aging, inflammation and DNA damage in the somatic testicular niche with idiopathic germ cell aplasia

Project description:Germ cell aplasia represents the most severe form of male infertility, and is associated with increased risk of early onset age-related chronic diseases and higher risk of death. Here we investigated the transcriptional landscape of 3880 somatic cells clustered in Sertoli, peritubular Myoid, Leydig, endothelial, stromal, T cells and macrophages from 3 human testis with idiopathic germ cell aplasia. Deregulated somatic pathways were associated with over-expression of paternally imprinted genes in immature Leydig cells, extracellular matrix composition and organization, hormonal milieu, chronic pro-inflammatory environments and early ageing, which were validated with an external cohort of 44 men with idiopathic germ cell aplasia compared to 102 age-matched fertile men. These 7 transcriptomic datasets unveil new insights into the germ cell aplasia, and prompts new thinking to better understand the pathogenesis of the idiopathic disease and the associated clinical manifestations of early ageing process.

Sertoli cell specific testicular gene expression of Connexin 43 knockout mice

Project description:Infertility observed in adult Sertoli cell (SC)-specific Connexin 43 Knockout-mice rather seems to be an effect of the disturbed SC-Germ cell (GC) crosstalk than a direct consequence of the loss of Cx43 protein in SC with important GC specific genes being mostly affected by this deletion. Identification of differentially expressed genes in testis of cx43 KO-mice at developmental stage 8 days post partum when compared with testis of WT-mice

Transcript changes in primary Leydig cells treated with Sertoli cell released exosomes

Project description:In this study, we aim to figure out if Sertoli cells released exosomes can regulate the survival and steroidogenesis of Leydig cells. We found Sertoli cells released exosomes can cross the blood-testis barrier, deliver their contents into the Leydig cells, and promote the survival of Leydig cells through CCL20.

Temporal maturation of Sertoli cells during the establishment of the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium

Project description:Sertoli cells, omnipresent, somatic cells within the seminiferous tubules of the mammalian testis are essential to male fertility. Sertoli cells maintain the integrity of the testicular microenvironment, regulate hormone synthesis, and of particular importance, synthesize the active derivative of vitamin A, all trans retinoic acid (atRA), which is required for germ cell differentiation and the commitment of male germ cells to meiosis. Stages VII-IX, when atRA synthesis occurs in the testis, coincides with multiple germ cell development and testicular restructuring events that rely on Sertoli cell gene products to proceed normally. In this study, we have synchronized and captured the mouse testis at four recurrent points of atRA synthesis to observe transcriptomic changes within Sertoli cells as mice age and the Sertoli cells are exposed to increasingly developed germ cell subtypes. This work provides comprehensive, high-resolution characterization of when known, functional Sertoli cell genes are induced across the first wave of spermatogenesis, and outlines in silico predictions of germ cell derived signaling mechanisms targeting Sertoli cells.
