SRSF2 is required for mRNA splicing and spermatogenesis [LACE-seq]

ABSTRACT: Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2), also known as SC35, is a member of a SRs protein family, which plays significant roles in numerous fundamental biological activities. However, the roles and underlying mechanisms of SRSF2 remain largely unclear during spermatogenesis. Here, we report that SRSF2 is involved in alternative splicing and that male germ cell-specific deletion of Srsf2 by Stra8-GFPCre causes absolute infertility and defective spermatogenesis. Further analyses revealed that deletion of Srsf2 in the male germ cells had harmful influences on the differentiation of spermatogonia and meiosis initiation. Mechanistically, by combining RNA-seq data with LACE-seq data, we showed that spermatogenesis, meiotic cell cycle, male gamete generation, reproductive development, and male sex differentiation were involved in the SRSF2 regulatory networks. Furthermore, SRSF2 affects expression and AS of Stra8, Stag3 and Atr in a direct manner, which were critical factors during spermatogenesis. Taken together, our results demonstrate that SRSF2 has important functions in spermatogenesis and male fertility by regulating alternative splicing.

SRSF1-mediated alternative splicing is required for spermatogonial stem cell differentiation and mitotic-to-meiotic transition [LACE-seq]

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) plays significant roles in fundamental biological activities. AS also are prevalent in the testis, but the regulations of alternative splicing in spermatogenesis is vague. Here, we report that Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1), plays critical roles in alternative splicing and male reproduction. Male germ cell-specific deletion of Srsf1 led to complete infertility and abnormal spermatogenesis. We further demonstrated that Srsf1 is required for spermatogonial stem cell differentiation and mitotic-to-meiotic transition. Mechanistically, by combining RNA-seq data with LACE-seq data, we showed that SRSF1 regulatory networks have functions in spermatogenesis. Particularly, we found that SRSF1 affects the AS of Stra8 in a direct manner and Dazl, Dmc1, Mre11a, Syce2 and Rif1 in an indirect manner. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that SRSF1 has crucial functions in spermatogenesis and male fertility by regulating alternative splicing.

DNA/RNA helicase DHX36 is required for late stages of spermatogenesis

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a highly complex developmental process that typically consists of mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. DNA/RNA helicase DHX36, a unique guanine-quadruplex (G4) resolvase, play crucial roles in a variety of biological processes. We previously showed that DHX36 is highly expressed in male germ cells with the highest level in zygotene spermatocytes. Here, we delete Dhx36 in advanced germ cells with Stra8-GFPCre, and found that a Dhx36 deficiency in the differentiated spermatogonia leads to meiotic defects and abnormal spermiogenesis. These defects in late stages of spermatogenesis arise from dysregulated transcription of G4-harboring genes, which are required for meiosis. Thus, this study reveals that Dhx36 play crucial roles in the late stages of spermatogenesis.

Mettl3-/Mettl14-mediated mRNA N6-methyladenosine modulates murine spermatogenesis

Project description:Spermatogenesis is precisely controlled at the transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and translational levels. Here we report that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), an epitranscriptomic mark regulating gene expression, plays essential roles during spermatogenesis. We present comprehensive m6A mRNA methylomes of mouse spermatogenic cells from five developmental stages: undifferentiated spermatogonia, type A1 spermatogonia, preleptotene spermatocytes, pachytene/diplotene spermatocytes, and round spermatids. Germ cell-specific inactiva- tion of the m6A RNA methyltransferase Mettl3 or Mettl14 with Vasa-Cre causes loss of m6A and depletion of SSCs. m6A depletion dysregulates translation of transcripts that are required for SSC proliferation/differentiation. Com- bined deletion of Mettl3 and Mettl14 in advanced germ cells with Stra8-GFPCre disrupts spermiogenesis, whereas mice with single deletion of either Mettl3 or Mettl14 in advanced germ cells show normal spermatogenesis. The sper- matids from double-mutant mice exhibit impaired translation of haploid-specific genes that are essential for spermio- genesis. This study highlights crucial roles of mRNA m6A modification in germline development, potentially ensuring coordinated translation at different stages of spermatogenesis.

DIS3 is essential for male germ cell meiosis and spermatogenesis in mice

Project description:Male germ cell meiosis is essential for generating haploid spermatozoa in mice. Here, we investigate the essential role of DIS3 in male germ cell meiosis in mice. Conditional inactivation of DIS3 in spermatocytes with Stra8-cre transgenic mice have severely impaired meiotic progression, which results in defective meiosis and spermatogenesis. RNA-seq analysis reveals that Dis3 deficiency causes significant dysregulation of the expression of transcripts in mutant testes. Meiosis-associated genes are significantly decreased in the absence of DIS3. Therefore, we show that DIS3 ribonuclease plays a critical role in germ cell meiosis during spermatogenesis in mice.

DIS3L2 regulates male germ cell mesiosis in mice

Project description:Male germ cell meiosis is essential for generating haploid spermatozoa in mice. Here, we investigate the essential role of DIS3L2 in male germ cell meiosis in mice. Conditional inactivation of DIS3L2 in spermatocytes with Stra8-cre transgenic mice have severely impaired meiotic progression, which results in defective meosis and spermatogenesis associated with a Sertoli cell-only syndrome and adult sterility. RNA-seq analysis reveales that Dis3l2 deficiency causes significant dysregulation of the expression of transcripts in mutant testes. Meiosis-assocaited genes are significantly decreased in the absence of DIS3L2. Therefore, we show that DIS3L2 ribonuclease plays a critical role in germ cell meiosis during spermatogenesis in mice.

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.

Genome-wide Analysis Reveals SR Protein Cooperation and Competition in Regulated Splicing

Project description:SR proteins are well-characterized RNA binding proteins that promote exon inclusion by binding to exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs). However, it has been unclear whether regulatory rules deduced on model genes apply generally to activities of SR proteins in the cell. Here, we report global analyses of two prototypical SR proteins SRSF1 (SF2/ASF) and SRSF2 (SC35) using splicing-sensitive arrays and CLIP-seq on mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). Unexpectedly, we find that these SR proteins promote both inclusion and skipping of exons in vivo, but their binding patterns do not explain such opposite responses. Further analyses reveal that loss of one SR protein is accompanied by coordinated loss or compensatory gain in the interaction of other SR proteins at the affected exons. Therefore, specific effects on regulated splicing by one SR protein actually depend on a complex set of relationships with multiple other SR proteins in mammalian genomes. SRSF1 and SRSF2 CLIP-seq
