Characterization of N6-methyladenosine in the testis tissue of cattle-yak

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prominent mRNA modification in eukaryotes, and its potential regulatory role has recently been identified in mammals, plants, and yeast. However, how m6A methylation regulates spermatogenesis remains unknown. In this study, cattle-yak testis tissue was used as the experimental material, and the m6A map was generated through preliminary experiments and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing. Only spermatogonia and Sertoli cells were observed in cattle-yak testis tissue. Experiments examining the expression of methylation-related enzymes and the overall methylation level showed that the methylation level in the testis of the cattle-yak was slightly lower than that of the sexually mature yak, but significantly higher than that of the pre-sexually mature yak. Annotation analysis indicated that differentially methylated peaks were most frequently concentrated in exonic regions, followed by 3'UTR and finally 5'UTR regions. Through enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated corresponding genes, GO analysis of T-vs-Y group mainly involved spermatogenesis, including cytoskeleton, actin binding, etc. KEGG analysis showed that the differential genes were mainly enriched in actin cytoskeleton regulation and MAPK signaling pathway. GO analysis of the T-vs-M group mainly involved protein ubiquitination, ubiquitin ligase complexes, ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolism and endocytosis. KEGG analysis mainly involved apoptosis and Fanconi anemia pathways. This study will lay the foundation for elucidating the molecular mechanism of m6A in male sterility of cattle-yak.

Transcriptome studies reveal the regulation of m6A in testis development and spermatogenesis in yak

Project description:Studying spermatogenesis is the key to understanding the development mechanism of the yak reproductive system. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification has been reported to regulate spermatogenesis and reproductive function in mammals, the molecular mechanism of m6A in yak testis development and spermatogenesis remains largely unknown. Therefore, we collected testicular tissue from junile and adult yaks, and found that the m6A level significantly increased after sexual maturity in yak. In MeRIP-seq, 1,702 hypermethylated peaks and 724 hypomethylated peaks were identified. The hypermethylated differentially methylated RNAs (DMRs) (CIB2, AK1, FOXJ2, PKDREJ, SLC9A3, and TOPAZ1) mainly regulated spermatogenesis, while the hypomethylated DMRs (BCL6, USP25, CD96, EPHA2, and TAF12) mainly participated in immune response. Functional enrichment analysis showed that DMRs were significantly enriched in the adherens junction, gap junction, and Wnt, PI3K, and mTOR signaling pathways, regulating cell development, spermatogenesis, and testicular endocrine function. The functional analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that they were involved in the biological processes of mitosis, meiosis, and flagellated sperm motility during sexual maturity of yak testis. We also screened the key regulatory factors of testis development and spermatogenesis by combined analysis, which included BRCA1, CREBBP, STAT3, and SMAD4. This study has important research value and practical guiding significance for yak genetic improvement, particularly in understanding the molecular mechanism and evolutionary dynamics of the progression of testis developmental stages in yaks.

Comprehensive analysis of differentially expressed mRNA, circRNA and miRNA and their ceRNA networks in testis of cattle-yak, yak and cattle

Project description:Cattle-yak is the hybrid offspring of yak and cattle. It has obvious heterosis in production performance, but the male sterility of cattle-yak has always been the focus of attention. Studies have shown that non-coding RNA is involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis. We comprehensively compared the testicular transcription profiles of cattle, yak and cattle-yak. More DEGs, DECs and DEMs were found in the intersection of the two comparison groups of cattle and cattle-yak, yak and cattle-yak, with 4,968, 360 and 59, respectively. The DEGs of cattle-yak, cattle and yak were mainly enriched in biological processes such as spermatogenesis, male gamete generation and sexual reproduction. At the same time, GO and KEGG analysis suggested that DECs host genes and DEMs source genes were also involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis. The construction of potential ceRNA networks found that some differentially expressed ncRNAs may be involved in the regulation of genes related to testicular spermatogenesis, including miR-423-5p, miR-449b, miR-34b/c, miR-15b, etc., as well as unreported miR-6123, miR-1306 and some miRNA and circRNA interaction pairs. This study provides a reference for further study on the mechanism of male sterility in cattle-yak.

Characterization of m6A in domesticated yak testis before and after sexual maturity

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common internal modification of eukaryotic mRNA, and its potential regulatory role has recently been identified in mammals, plants, and yeast. However, little is known about the role of m6A methylation in mammalian sexual maturation. In this study, the testicular tissue of yaks before and after sexual maturation was taken as the research object, and the m6A map of testicular tissue of yaks before and after sexual maturation was obtained through the preliminary experiment and MERIP-seq. The results showed that only spermatogonial cells and some primary spermatocytes could be seen in the testicular tissue of yak before sexual maturation, while spermatogenic cells at different stages could be seen in the testicular tissue after sexual maturation. It was found that the methylation level was higher after sexual maturation than before by detecting the expression of methylation related enzymes and the overall methylation level of testis. There were 1438 differential methylation peaks before and after sexual maturation, of which 1226 were significantly up-regulated and 212 were significantly down-regulated after sexual maturation. Through annotation, it was found that the differential methylation peaks were mainly concentrated in the exon region, followed by 3'UTR, and finally 5'UTR. KEGG pathway analysis showed that Homologous recombination, Notch signaling pathway, Growth hormone synthesis and other signaling pathways may be related to testicular development and maturation. m6A modification was positively correlated with mRNA abundance, suggesting that m6A plays a regulatory role in mammalian sexual maturation. In this study, we reported for the first time the m6A transcriptional map of yak testis, providing a starting point for revealing the function of m6A that may affect the development of yak testis.

The transcriptome-wide N6-methyladenosine (m6A) map profiling reveals the regulatory role of m6A in the yak ovary

Project description:The yak estrus is a seasonal phenomenon, probably involving the epigenetic regulation of the synthesis and secretion of sex hormones as well as the growth and development of follicles. In this study, we collected the yak ovarian tissues at the three different states of anestrus, estrus, and pregnancy, and obtained the full transcriptome m6A map in yak by MeRIP-seq. The RT-qPCR showed that the expression of METTL3, METTL14, FTO, YTHDC1 were significantly different across different periods in the ovaries. Next, we identified 20174, 19747 and 13523 m6A peaks in the three ovarian samples of YO-A, YO-F and YO-P using the methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq). The m6A peaks are highly enriched in the coding sequence (CDS) region and 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) as well as the conserved sequence of “RRACH.” Functional analysis revealed the involvement of m6A in many physiological activities of the yak’s ovary during estrus and pregnancy. The association analysis found that some genes such as BNC1, HOMER1, BMP15, BMP6, GPX3, and WNT11 were related to ovarian functions. The comparison of the distribution patterns of methylation peaks in the ovarian tissues across different periods further explored the m6A markers related to the regulation of ovarian ovulation and follicular development in the yak ovary. This comprehensive map provides a solid foundation for revealing the potential function of the mRNA m6A modification in the yak ovary.

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).

Exploring the mechanisms of high-altitude adaptation in yak based on single-cell transcriptome atlas.

Project description:This study explores how yaks, an ideal animal model for studying plateau adaptability, adapt to high-altitude environments. The lung is a representative organ of the yak’s adaptation to high-altitude environments. The F1 hybrids of yak and cattle, known as dzho, also exhibit adaptability to plateau conditions. This study constructed a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the lungs in yak, dzho and cattle, containing 51 subtypes. We initially found that the differential subtypes among yak, dzho and cattle were mainly concentrated in T&NK cells and fibroblasts. Most of them belonged to new cell subtypes. Subsequently, we speculated that NKG7 and CD4 played a central regulatory role in T&NK cells, contributing to T cell activation and affecting the adaptive immune response of yaks. In fibroblasts, MYL9 and IGF2 are believed to play key regulatory roles, participating in maintaining cellular energy metabolism balance. These results provide an important scientific basis for systematically analysing the molecular regulatory mechanisms of yak adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia.

Comparative analysis of the testis tissue transcriptome of 4-year-old yak and cattle-yak

Project description:RNA sequence analysis identified a total of 8473 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (3580 up-regulated, 4893 down-regulated), and GO annotation and KEGG enrichment of differential genes found that DEGS were mostly related to spermatogenesis and apoptosis. Among them, Spermatogonia stem cell (SSCs) marker genes (ITGA5, Gfra1, CD9, SOHLH1, SALL4, ID4 and FOXO1) were significantly up-regulated, differentiation spermatogenic cell marker genes (KIT, UCHL1, Ccna1, TNP1 and TXNDC2) were significantly down-regulated, and genes involved in apoptosis (Fas, CTSK, CTSB, CTSC, CTSO, caspase 3, caspase6, and caspase) were significantly up-regulated. Furthermore, the AS events in cattle-yak are significantly lower than in yak, we speculate that lack of mRNA and protein subtypes may lead to spermatogenic arrest in yak testicle.
