Oo-site: A dashboard to visualize gene expression during Drosophila oogenesis reveals meiotic entry is regulated post-transcriptionally

ABSTRACT: Determining how stem cell differentiation is controlled has important implications for understanding the etiology of degenerative disease and designing regenerative therapies. In vivo analyses of stem cell model systems have revealed regulatory paradigms for stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. The germarium of the female Drosophila gonad, which houses both germline and somatic stem cells, is one such model system. Bulk mRNA sequencing (RNA-seq), single cell (sc) RNA-seq, and bulk translation efficiency of mRNAs is available for stem cells and their differentiating progeny within the Drosophila germarium. However, visualizing those data is hampered by lack of a tool to spatially map gene expression and translational data in the germarium. Here, we have developed Oo-site (https://www.ranganlab.com/Oo-site), a tool for visualizing bulk- and scRNA-seq and translational efficiency data during different stages of germline differentiation, that makes these data accessible to non-bioinformaticians. Using this tool, we recapitulated previously reported expression patterns of developmentally regulated genes and discovered that meiotic genes, such as those that regulate the synaptonemal complex, are regulated at the level of translation.

Stem cell niche organisation in the Drosophila ovary requires the ECM component Perlecan

Project description:Stem cells reside in specialised microenvironments or niches that balance stem cell proliferation and differentiation. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential component of most niches, as it controls niche homeostasis, provides physical support and conveys extracellular signals. Basement membranes (BMs) are thin ECM sheets constituted mainly by Laminins, Perlecan, Collagen IV and Entactin/Nidogen and that surround epithelia and other tissues. Perlecans are secreted proteoglycans that interact with ECM proteins, ligands, receptors and growth factors such as FGF, PDGF, VEGF, Hedgehog and Wingless. Thus, Perlecans have structural and signalling functions through the binding, storage or sequestering of specific ligands. We have used the Drosophila ovary to assess the importance of Perlecan in the functioning of a stem cell niche. Ovarioles in the adult ovary are enveloped by an ECM sheath and possess a tapered structure at their anterior apex termed the germarium. The anterior tip of the germarium hosts the germline niche, where two to four germline stem cells (GSCs) reside together with few somatic cells: terminal filament (TF) cells, cap cells (CpCs) and escort cells (ECs). We report that niche architecture in the developing gonad requires trol, that niche cells secrete an isoform-specific, Perlecan-rich interstitial matrix and that DE-cadherin-dependent stem cell-niche adhesion necessitates trol. Hence, we provide evidence to support a structural role for Perlecan in germline niche establishment during larval stages and in the maintenance of a normal pool of stem cells in the adult niche.

Analysis of transcripts in PNA-A(15) oligo treated human HEK-293 cells

Project description:Mononucleotide A and T repeats are abundant in human genome. Many of A repeats are bound by Argonaute proteins (AGOs). To evaluate the role of AGOs and A repeats in gene regulation, HEK293 cells were treated with 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid added peptide nucleic acid (PNA) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA oligo (OO-A(15)). Matched two sets of two individual HEK293 cells were transfected with OO-A(15) and scramble OO-PNA oligo, and were analyzed as biological duplicates. Cells were grown in DMEM (Gibco-BRL) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. OO-A(15) and scramble oligo were dilute with dH2O to reach 10μM. Cells were transfected in 6-well plates, seed 6 x 105 cells per well with 50 nM OO-A(15) and scramble oligo using TransIT-siQUEST transfection reagent (Mirus). The transfected cell lines were cultured for 48 h post-transfection and harvested total RNA by Trizol reagent (Invitrogen). All RNA integrity assays were performed and hybridized on beadchip according to the protocol.

EGF and LIF enhanced the spontaneous reprogramming of Spermatogonial Stem Cells into Pluripotent State

Project description:Germline stem cells are unipotent stem cells dedicated to differentiate into gemmates throughout of life. However, spontaneous reprogramming of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in long-term culture indicates the acquirement of pluripotency of germ cells affected by microenvironment.epidermal growth factor (EGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and fresh mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder are essential for transformation, and addition of 2i further enhanced the pluripotency. Transcriptome analysis revealed that EGF activated RAS signaling pathway and inhibited p38 to initiate transformation, and synergically cooperated with LIF to promote the transformation propensity. The increased efficiency of SSCs spontaneous reprogramming established new avenues for regenerative medicine, animal cloning, and research model for germline fate determination.

Two distinct waves of transcriptome and translatome remodelling drive germline stem cell differentiation

Project description:Development and tissue maintenance require a supply of new cells, which are generated by division of stem cells and then specialised to perform their function. The differentiation process requires the tight control of gene expression, but this has been challenging to study in a systematic manner in adult stem cells, which are sparsely distributed in tissues. We have overcome these limitations by establishing a robust protocol to synchronise Drosophila female germline stem cell (GSC) differentiation in vivo, allowing us to perform transcriptome and translatome analyses at high temporal resolution during differentiation. As well as observing dynamic changes in mRNA level, promoter usage and exon inclusion, our data reveal that changing translation efficiency is the predominant regulatory mechanism during GSC differentiation. Indeed, changes in mRNA level are frequently buffered by changes in translation efficiency, including the translational repression of transcripts that will only be translated later during oocyte maturation or embryo development. Contrary to the expected linear accumulation of changes from stem cell to differentiated cell, our data reveal that differentiation occurs through two distinct waves of changes in both the transcriptome and translatome level.

Translational Landscape in Human Early Neural Fate Determination

Project description:Gene expression regulation in eukaryotes is a multi-level process, including transcription, mRNA translation, and protein turnover. Many studies have reported the sophisticated transcriptional regulations during neural development, but the global translational dynamics is still ambiguous. Here, we differentiated human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into neural progenitor cells (NPCs) with high efficiency and performed ribosome sequencing and RNA sequencing on both ESCs and NPCs. Data analysis revealed that translational controls engaged in many critical pathways and contributed significantly to neural fate determination regulation. Furthermore, we showed that the sequence characteristics in the untranslated region (UTR) might regulate translation efficiency. Specifically, genes with short 5UTR and intense Kozak sequence are associated with high translation efficiency in human ESCs, while genes with long 3'UTR are related to high translation efficiency in NPCs. In addition, we identified four biasedly-used codons (GAC, GAT, AGA, and AGG) and dozens of short open reading frames during neural progenitor differentiation. Thus, our study reveals the translational landscape during early human neural differentiation and provides insights into the regulation of cell fate determination at the translational level.

O-GlcNAcase is an epigenetic regulator of nutrient-responsive Drosophila Oogenesis

Project description:Nutrient-responsive oogenesis in Drosophila is a complex and dynamic process regulated, in part, by members of the Pc and Trx complexes. The recent finding that O-GlcNAc Transferase (ogt/sxc) is essential for Pc repression raises the question of whether this nutrient-sensing pathway plays a role in regulating oogenesis. OGT transfers O-GlcNAc to key transcriptional regulators in response to graded levels of the nutrient-derived precursor UDP-GlcNAc; O-GlcNAcase (OGA) catalyzes the removal of O-GlcNAc. Here we produced a null allele of oga (oga1) in Drosophila to examine its in vivo function. We found that oga mutant flies were viable, but that females displayed greatly reduced fecundity. The ovaries from the female OGA knockout exhibited a starvation-like phenotype, even under well-fed conditions. Germline stem cell division was slowed in the germarium of OGA knockout fly ovarioles. Ovaries from the oga1 mutants displayed significantly decreased H3K4 monomethylation in germline stem cells. The Trithorax family members Trx and Ash1 and Compass member Set1 histone methyltransferases are O-GlcNAc modified in oga1 mutant ovaries. Our results suggest that the loss of OGA disrupts oogenesis at least in part by interfering with H3K4 monomethylation in germ cells in the ovary. The findings also suggest that O-GlcNAc cycling is an essential part of the nutrient-responsive epigenetic machinery regulating Drosophila oogenesis in response to a changing nutrient supply.
