Specific processing of meiosis related transcript is linked to final maturation in human oocytes

ABSTRACT: Human meiosis in oocytes entails a fine regulation of the transcriptome to support late oocyte growth and early embryo development, both key to reproductive success. Currently, little is known about the co- and post-transcriptional mRNA processing mechanisms regulating the last meiotic passages, which contribute to transcriptome complexity and influence translation rates. We analyzed gene expression changes, splicing and pre-mRNA processing in an RNA sequencing set of 40 oocytes at different meiotic maturation stages, both in vivo ovulated and matured in vitro. We found abundant UTR processing, mostly at the 3’-, of meiosis-related genes between the stages of GV and MII, supported by the differential expression of spliceosome and pre-mRNA processing related genes. Importantly, we found very little differences among GV oocytes across several lengths of in vitro maturation, as long as they did not reach MII, suggesting a specific association of RNA processing and successful meiosis transit. Changes in protein isoforms are minor, though specific and consistent for genes involved in chromosome organization and spindle assembly. In conclusion, we reveal a dynamic transcript remodeling during human female meiosis, and show how pre-mRNA processing, specifically 3’-UTR shortening, drives a selective translational regulation of transcripts necessary to reach the final meiotic maturation.

RNA-sequencing of pig oocyte throughout meiotic maturation

Project description:Oocyte maturation refers to oocytes at the germinal vesicle stage progressing into metaphase II (MII) stage of development. Even though numerous studies have shown key genes and potential important signalling cascades, which drive the GV to MII transition, a system-wide analysis of underlying differences at gene level and especially at transcript level between the two developmental stages of the oocyte is still lacking. For this, we profiled and analysed RNA from pig oocytes across meiotic maturation (GV, MII and damaged, n=15). We detected 22,516 genes for each sample across meiotic maturation. Principal Component analysis of the data clustered the samples in three stages of development (GV, MII and damaged). Differential expression of genes between the three stages will then be used to delineate the pathways which are up-/down-regulated during these developmental stages. Besides, differential transcript usage will be used to identify the difference of oocytes at distinct developmental stages at isoform level, which might be ignored by traditional differential gene expression analysis.

Single cell RNA-seq reveals mRNAs and lncRNAs important for oocyte meiosis and maturation in pigs

Project description:The faithful execution of molecular program underlying oocyte maturation and meiosis is vital to generate competent haploid gametes for effective reproduction in mammals. However, the organization and principle of gene modules and molecular circuits for oocyte meiosis remain obscure. Here, we employed the recently developed single cell RNA-seq technique to profile the transcriptomes of germinal vesicle (GV) and metaphase II (MII) oocytes, aiming to discover the dynamic changes of mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) during oocyte meiotic maturation. During the transition from GV to MII, total number of RNAs (mRNAs and lncRNAs) in oocytes decreased. Moreover, 1807 (602 up- and 1205 down-regulated) mRNAs and 313 (177 up- and 136 down-regulated) lncRNAs were significantly differentially expressed. During meiotic maturation, expression level of most mRNAs decreased, but mitochondrial RNAs, and also more lncRNAs and their target genes increased. Both DE mRNAs and lncRNAs were enriched in multiple biological and signal pathways potentially associated with oocyte meiosis. Highly abundantly expressed mRNAs (including DNMT1, UHRF2, PCNA, ARMC1, BTG4, ASNS and SEP11) and lncRNAs were also discovered. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed 20 hub mRNAs, and three modules of contrasting functions in oocyte maturation and meiosis. Taken together, our findings provide insights and resources for further functional investigation of mRNAs/lncRNAs in mammalian oocyte meiosis and maturation.

Transcription profiling of immature germinal vesicle stage oocytes with mature metaphase II oocytes to identify and characterize the changed and stable transcripts during mouse oocyte maturation.

Project description:There is massive destruction of transcripts during maturation of mouse oocytes. The objective of this project was to identify and characterize the transcripts that are degraded versus those that are stable during the transcriptionally silent germinal vesicle (GV)-stage to metaphase II (MII)-stage transition using the microarray approach. A system for oocyte transcript amplification using both internal and 3'-poly(A) priming was utilized to minimize the impact of complex variations in transcript polyadenylation prevalent during this transition. Transcripts were identified and quantified using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 v2.0 GeneChip. The significantly changed and stable transcripts were analyzed using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis and GenMAPP/MAPPFinder to characterize the biological themes underlying global changes in oocyte transcripts during maturation. It was concluded that the destruction of transcripts during the GV to MII transition is a selective rather than promiscuous process in mouse oocytes. In general, transcripts involved in processes that are associated with meiotic arrest at the GV-stage and the progression of oocyte maturation, such as oxidative phosphorylation, energy production, and protein synthesis and metabolism, were dramatically degraded. In contrast, transcripts encoding participants in signaling pathways essential for maintaining the unique characteristics of the MII-arrested oocyte, such as those involved in protein kinase pathways, were the most prominent among those stables.

Pervasive 3'-UTR isoform switches during mouse oocyte maturation

Project description:Oocyte maturation is the foundation for developing healthy individuals of mammals. Upon germinal vesicle breakdown, oocyte meiosis resumes and the synthesis of new transcripts ceases. To quantitatively profile the transcriptomic dynamics after meiotic resumption throughout the oocyte maturation, we generated transcriptome sequencing data with individual mouse oocytes at three main developmental stages: germinal vesicle (GV), metaphase I (MI), and metaphase II (MII). When clustering the sequenced oocytes, results showed that isoform-level expression analysis outperformed gene-level analysis, indicating isoform expression provided extra information that was useful in distinguishing oocyte stages. Comparing transcriptomes of the oocytes at the GV stage and the MII stage, in addition to identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we detected many differentially expressed transcripts (DETs), some of which came from genes that were not identified as DEGs. When breaking down the isoform-level changes into alternative RNA processing events, we found the main source of isoform composition changes was the alternative usage of polyadenylation sites. With detailed analysis focusing on the alternative usage of 3'-UTR isoforms, we identified, out of 3810 tested genes, 512 (13.7%) exhibiting significant switches of 3'-UTR isoforms during the process of moues oocyte maturation. Altogether, our data and analyses suggest the importance of examining isoform abundance changes during oocyte maturation, and further investigation of the pervasive 3'-UTR isoform switches in the transition may deepen our understanding on the molecular mechanisms underlying mammalian early development.

Gene Expression Profiles in Immature and In vitro matured bovine Oocytes

Project description:In cattle, almost all fully grown vesicle stage oocytes (GV) have the ability to resume meisos, develop to Metaphase II stage (MII), support fertilization and progress through the early embryonic cycles in vitro. Yet without intensive selection, the majority fail to develop to the blastocyst stage. Using the Affymetrix Bovine Genome Array, global mRNA expression analysis of immature (GV) and in vitro matured (IVM) bovine oocytes was carried out to characterize the transcriptome of the bovine oocyte and to identify the key pathways associated with oocyte meiotic maturation and developmental potential. Immature and in vitro matured bovine oocytes were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChip Bovine Genome array. Careful removal of cumulus and selection of oocytes was carried out under the stereo microscope in order to examine the actual cumulus-free temporal oocyte gene expression profiles. Immature oocytes at time 0 h and in vitro matured oocytes at 24 h were collected for analysis.

Immature follicular origins and disrupted oocyte growth pathways contribute to decreased gamete quality during reproductive juvenescence in mice

Project description:Egg quality dictates fertility outcomes, and although there is a well-documented decline with advanced reproductive age, how it changes during puberty is less understood. Such knowledge is critical, since advances in Assisted Reproductive Technologies are enabling pre- and peri-pubertal patients to preserve fertility in the medical setting. Therefore, we investigated egg quality parameters in a mouse model of the pubertal transition or juvenescence (postnatal day; PND 11-40). Animal weight, vaginal opening, serum inhibin B levels, oocyte yield, oocyte diameter, and zona pellucida thickness increased with age. After PND 15, there was an age-associated ability of oocytes to resume meiosis and reach metaphase of meiosis II (MII) following in vitro maturation (IVM). However, eggs from the younger cohort (PND 16-20) had significantly more chromosome configuration abnormalities relative to the older cohorts and many were at telophase I instead of MII, indicative of a cell cycle delay. Oocytes from the youngest mouse cohorts originated from the smallest antral follicles with the fewest cumulus layers per oocyte, suggesting a more developmentally immature state. RNA Seq analysis of oocytes from mice at distinct ages revealed that the genes involved in cellular growth signaling pathways (PI3K, mTOR, and Hippo) were consistently repressed with meiotic competence, whereas genes involved in cellular communication were upregulated in oocytes with age. Taken together, these data demonstrate that gametes harvested during the pubertal transition have low meiotic maturation potential and derive from immature follicular origins.

The global phosphorylation landscape of mouse oocytes during meiotic maturation

Project description:To explore the impact of BTG4-T145/S146/S147 mutations on the degradation of transcripts in MII-stage oocytes, we injected wild-type BTG4 mRNA (BTG4wt) and mutant BTG4 mRNA (BTG4tm) into GV-stage oocytes. These oocytes were matured in vitro to the MII stage, after which samples of MII-stage oocytes were collected for library construction and subsequent second-generation transcriptome sequencing.
