Trans regulatory evolution of a young microRNA during Drosophila spermatogenesis

ABSTRACT: Both cis and trans regulatory evolution underlies phenotypic innovation and diversification. However, how the nascent trans regulators escape negative pleiotropy, which may constrain their evolution and contribution to adaptation, remain unclear. Here, we compare the testis transcriptomes at single-cyst level between knockout lines of miRNA-983, an adaptively evolving young miRNA, in D. melanogaster and D. simulans, and the replacement line of dme-miR-983 with dsi-miR-983 in D. melanogaster. By distinguishing context effects and miR-983 effects in the framework of cis and trans regulation of gene expression, we demonstrate that miR-983 contributes to interspecific expression divergence in spite of its antagonism with context effects which is often predominant. Gain and loss of miR-983 effects involve distinct gene sets featured in different phases of spermatogenesis, which may help minimize pleiotropy. The magnitude of miR-983 effects is negatively associated with the variability of target gene expression dynamics during spermatogenesis. Moreover, knocking out dme-miR-983 in D. melanogaster affects sperm length and sperm competitive ability, which can be rescued partially by dsi-miR-983. Our results provide empirical evidence for the resolution of negative pleiotropy, and also have broad evolutionary implications for the biological function of trans regulators.

Identification and Characterization of MicroRNAs in Zebrafish Spermatozoa by Illumina Sequencing

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in nearly every biological process examined to date. Mounting evidence show that some spermatozoa specific miRNAs play important roles in the regulation of spermatogenesis and germ cells development, but little is known of the exact identity and function of miRNA in sperm cells or their potential involvement in spermatogenesis and germ cells development. Here, we investigated the spermatozoa miRNA profiles using illumina deep sequencing combined with bioinformatic analysis using zebrafish as a model system. Deep sequencing of small RNAs yielded 12 million raw reads from zebrafish spermatozoa. Analysis showed that the noncoding RNA of the spermatozoa included tRNA, rRNA, snRNA, snoRNA and miRNA. By mapping to the zebrafish genome, we identified 400 novel and 204 conserved miRNAs which could be grouped into 104 families, including zebrafish specific families, such as mir-731, mir-724, mir-725, mir-729 and mir-2185. We report the first characterization of the miRNAs profiling in zebrafish spermatozoa. The obtained spermatozoa miRNAs profiling will serve as valuable resources to systematically study spermatogenesis in fish and vertebrate.

Systematic Identification and Characterization of Long Non-coding RNAs in Mouse Mature Sperm

Project description:Increasingly, studies have shown that mature spermatozoa contain many transcripts including mRNAs and miRNAs. However, the expression profile of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mammalian sperm has not been systematically investigated. Here, we used highly purified RNA to investigate lncRNA expression profiles in mouse mature sperm by stranded-specific RNA-seq. We identified 20907 known and 4088 novel lncRNAs transcripts, and the existence of intact lncRNAs was confirmed by RT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization on two representative lncRNAs. Compared with testes, 2873 upregulated and 6629 downregulated lncRNAs and 1237 upregulated and 2513 downregulated mRNAs were identified in sperm. Based on the “Cis and Trans” RNA-RNA interaction principle, we found 1793 targeted coding genes of differently expressed lncRNAs. In terms of GO analysis, differentially expressed lncRNAs targeted genes mainly related to nucleic acid metabolic, protein modification, chromatin and histone modification, sperm function, and spermatogenesis. In contrast, differentially expressed transcripts of mRNAs were highly enriched for nucleic acid metabolic, spermatogenesis, sperm function, and chromatin organization. Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differentially expressed lncRNAs were involved in mRNA surveillance and AMPK signaling pathways. Besides these two pathways, RNA transport splicesome was another pathway incorporated with the differentially expressed mRNA. In summary, this study provides a preliminary database valuable for identifying lncRNAs critical in the late stage of spermatogenesis or important for sperm function regulation.

Combined sperm proteome of the monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus

Project description:We characterized sperm from the seminal vesicles of male monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), in triplicate, identifying 548 high confidence proteins. As with all but the most basal lepidopteran species male monarch butterflies are sperm heteromorphic, producing fertilization competent and anucleate fertilization incompetent sperm morphs. Comparing this data to the sperm proteomes of the Carolina sphinx moth (Manduca sexta) and the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) demonstrated high levels of functional coherence across proteomes, and conservation at the level of protein abundance and post-translational modification within Lepidoptera. Comparative genomic analyses revealed a significant reduction in orthology among Monarch sperm genes relative to the remainder of the genome in non-Lepidopteran insects. A substantial number of sperm proteins were found to be specific to Lepidoptera, lacking detectable homology outside this taxa. These findings are consistent with a burst of genetic novelty in the sperm proteome concurrent with the origin of heteromorphic spermatogenesis early in Lepidoptera evolution.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of mouse germ cells

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a recurring differentiation process that results in the production of male gametes within the testes. During this process, spermatogonial stem cells differentiate to form spermatocytes, which undergo two rounds of meiotic division to form haploid spermatids. Throughout spermiogenesis, round spermatids elongate to form mature sperm. To profile maturing germ cells during the first wave of spermatogenesis, we generated droplet-based single cell RNAseq from juvenile animals at post-natal day P5-P35 as well as adult animals. Cells were isolated from whole testes. Furthermore, to assay the robustness of the meiotic cell division process, we profiled germ cells of the trans-chromosomal mouse model (Tc1) that carries a copy of the human chromosome 21.

What the human sperm methylome tells us

Project description:Aim: To characterize the sperm methylome in semen samples from 19 donors with proven fertility. Material and Methods: Bisulfite-converted sperm DNA was hybridized on the HumanMethylation450 Infinium BeadChip platform. CpG fluorescence-intensities were extracted and converted to β-values. Results: The sperm methylome is highly homogeneous and hypomethylated. Genes with hypomethylated promoters are ontologically associated to biological functions related to spermatogenesis and embryogenesis. Sex-chromosomes are the most hypomethylated chromosomes, supporting data that indicated their essential role in spermatogenesis. Ninety-four genes are resistant to demethylation, being strong candidates for transgenerational inheritance. Conclusion: Spermatozoa carry a homogeneous methylation profile that is a footprint of past events (spermatogenesis), is designed to facilitate future events (embryogenesis), and has a possible influence in the adult life (transgenerational effects).

Drosophila Testis Proteome - Stage-specific testes proteomics of Drosophila melanogaster identifies essential proteins for male fertility

Project description:Spermiogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster is a highly conserved process and essential for male fertility. In this haploid phase of spermatogenesis, motile sperm are assembled from round cells, flagella are assembled, and needle-shaped nuclei with highly compacted genomes are formed. We aimed at identifying proteins relevant for the maturation phase from spermatids to sperm. As transcription takes place mainly in spermatocytes, and transcripts with relevance for post-meiotic sperm development are translationally repressed for days, we comparatively analysed the prote-ome of larval testes (stages before meiotic divisions), of testes of 1–2-day-old pupae (meiotic and early spermatid stages) and adult flies (late spermatids and sperm). We identified 6677 pro-teins, with 422 solely detected in larval testes, 623 in pupal testes and 634 in adult testes. We analysed a few so far uncharacterized proteins with repect to stage specific expression and im-portance for male fertility. For example, Mst84B (gene CG1988), a very basic cysteine- and lysine-rich nuclear protein, was present in the phase of transition from a histone-based to a pro-tamine-based chromatin structure. CG6332 encodes d-Theg, which is related to the mouse tHEG and human THEG proteins. Mutants of d-Theg lacked sperm in the seminal vesicles and were sterile. The identification of numerous predicted proteins underscores the high potential of pro-teome analysis for future analyses of spermatogenesis.

miRNA expression in C. elegans fem-2(b245ts) and fem-3(q20ts) mutants

Project description:We compared animals that produce oocytes but no sperm fem-2(b245ts) to animals that produce sperm but no oocytes fem-3(q20ts). Using miRNA microarrays and we found that the mir-35-41 cluster genes were expressed to much greater extent in oogenesis than in spermatogenesis; furthermore, these miRNAs were the only C. elegans miRNAs that showed such differential germline expression. Total RNA was isolated from staged one day old adult populations. The data were obtained from two biological replicates. Each oligonucleotide was printed four times. Data were scaled based on total array intensities (sum of the normalized spot intensities), and data for each sample and each gene were averaged.
