CHD2 maintains spermatogonial self-renewal by promoting chromatin activity and mRNA stability

ABSTRACT: Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding Domain 2 (CHD2), as a chromatin remodeling factor, was shown to be involved in the regulation of gene expression in embryonic development, neurodevelopment and myelopoiesis. However, its role in male germ cell development has not been elucidated. Here, we confirmed that CHD2 is abundantly expressed throughout the male germ cells with the highest expression in the spermatocytes of meiosis I. By constructing a heterozygous gene knockout mouse model of Chd2 (Chd2+/-), we demonstrated that CHD2 haploinsufficiency resulted in testicular developmental delay and increased rate of abnormal sperm in mice. DNA damage repair, synapsis and cell proliferation during spermatogenesis are impaired in Chd2+/- mice. In vitro experiments in C18-4 and GC-1 spg cells showed that CHD2 knockdown inhibits spermatogonial self-renewal. Mechanically, CHD2 maintained the enrichment of H3K4me3 in Ccnb1 and Ccnd2 promoter consequently promoting the transcription of Ccnb1 and Ccnd2. In addition, by interacting with cleavage stimulation factor CSTF3, CHD2 binds Oct4, Plzf mRNA and upregulates the expression of OCT4 and PLZF by improving mRNA stability. This is the first time to reveal the role and mechanism of CHD2 in maintaining spermatogonial self-renewal by promoting chromatin activity and mRNA stability in spermatogenesis.

Glis3 plays a crucial role in spermatogenesis [923]

Project description:We show that Glis3 is expressed in gonocytes, SSCs and SPCs, but not in differentiated spermatogonia or subsequent stages of spermatogenesis nor in Sertoli or Leydig cells. We further demonstrate that Glis3-deficiency causes a severe impairment in spermatogenesis in mice. Although the number of gonocytes was slightly diminished in Glis3KO testis, the number undifferentiated, PLZF+ spermatogonia was dramatically reduced leading to a virtual block in the progression of spermatogenesis. Gene expression profiling showed that the expression of a number of genes associated with self-renewal and differentiation of spermatogonial cells was significantly decreased in 1-week-old Glis3KO2 testis. These included a set of GDNF-dependent genes, such as Etv5, Bcl6b, Lhx1, Brachyury, Id4, and Pou3f1, and GDNF-independent genes, such as FoxO1, Oct4, and Zbtb16. Impairment of the nuclear localization of FoxO1 may be in part responsible for the reduced expression of Ret, Lhx1, and Sall4 in Glis3KO2 testis. Our study identifies Glis3 as a novel and critical regulator of early stages of spermatogenesis. Thy1+ cells were isolated from 3 WT and 3 Glis3KO2 testis at postnatal day 4, and total RNAs were purified from them. Then the samples were applied to Agilent mouse genome chip.

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.

Splicing factor SRSF1 is essential for homing of precursor spermatogonial stem cells in mice

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) provide a continuous spermatogenesis and male fertility. However, the underlying mechanisms of alternative splicing (AS) in mouse SSCs are still largely unclear. We demonstrated that SRSF1 is essential for gene expression and splicing in mouse SSCs. Specific deletion of Srsf1 in mouse germ cells impairs self-renewal and homing of SSCs leading to male infertility. Whole-mount staining data showed the absence of germ cells in the testes of adult cKO mice, which indicates severe non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) in cKO mice. Expression of SSC-related genes (Gfra1, Pou5f1, Plzf, Dnd1, Stra8, and Taf4b) was significantly reduced in the testes of conditional knockout (cKO) mice. CLIP-seq data found that SSC-related genes (Plzf, Id4, Setdb1, Stra8, Tial1, Bcas2, Ddx5, Srsf10, Uhrf1, and Bud31) were bound by SRSF1 in the mouse testes. Moreover, multi-omics analysis suggests that SRSF1 directly binds and regulates the expression of Tial1 via AS to implement SSCs self-renewal and differentiation. Collectively, our data reveal the critical role of an SRSF1-mediated AS in SSCs self-renewal and differentiation, which may provide a framework to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the post-transcriptional network underlying SSCs.

Identification of EOMES-expressing spermatogonial stem cells and their regulation by PLZF

Project description:Long-term maintenance of spermatogenesis in mammals is supported by GDNF, an essential growth factor required for spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) self-renewal. Exploiting a transgenic GDNF overexpression model, which expands and normalizes the pool of undifferentiated spermatogonia between Plzf +/+ and Plzf lu/lu mice, we used RNAseq to identify a rare subpopulation of cells that express EOMES, a T-box transcription factor. Lineage tracing, conditional ablation, and busulfan challenge show that these are long-term SSCs that contribute to steady state spermatogenesis as well as regeneration following chemical injury. EOMES+ SSCs have a lower proliferation index than EOMES− GFRA1+ spermatogonia in wild-type but not in Plzf lu/lu mice. This comparison demonstrates that PLZF regulates their proliferative activity and suggests that EOMES+ SSCs are lost through proliferative exhaustion in Plzf lu/lu mice. Single cell RNA sequencing of EOMES+ cells from Plzf +/+ and Plzf lu/lu mice support a hierarchical model of a slow-cycling long-term SSC population supporting more rapid-cycling short-term SSCs.
