Gene regulatory divergence in spermatogenesis between mouse and opossum

ABSTRACT: Mammalian spermatogenesis is a highly stereotyped and conserved developmental process that is essential for fitness. At the same time, gene expression in spermatogenic cells is rapidly evolving. This combination of features has been suggested to drive rapid fixation of new gene expression patterns. Using a high-resolution dataset comprising bulk and single-cell data from juvenile and adult testes of the opossum Monodelphis domestica, a model marsupial, we define the developmental timing of the spermatogenic first wave in opossum and delineate conserved and divergent gene expression programs across the placental-marsupial split by comparison to equivalent data from mouse, a model placental mammal. Epigenomic data confirmed divergent regulation at the level of transcription, and comparison to data from four additional amniote species identified hundreds of genes with evidence of rapid fixation of expression. This gene set encompasses known and previously undescribed regulators of spermatogenic development.

Chromosome-wide profiling of X-inactivation status and epigenetic regulation in opossum fetal brain and placenta

Project description:Evidence from a few genes of diverse species suggests that marsupial X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is characterized by exclusive, but leaky, inactivation of the paternally derived X chromosome. To comprehensively study the mechanism of marsupial XCI, we profiled parent-of-origin-specific-allele expression, DNA methylation, and histone modifications in opossum fetal brain and extra-embryonic membranes. The majority (152/176) of X-linked genes exhibited paternally imprinted expression with nearly 100% maternal allele expression, whereas 24 loci (14%) escaped inactivation showing varying levels of biallelic expression. In addition to regulation by the non-coding RSX transcript, strong depletion of H3K27me3 at escaper gene loci indicates that histone states also influence opossum XCI. Notably, the opossum does not show an association between X-linked gene expression and promoter DNA methylation. Our study provides the first comprehensive catalogue of parent-of-origin expression status for X-linked genes in a marsupial and sheds light on the regulation and evolution of imprinted XCI in mammals.

A new developmental mechanism for the separation of the mammalian middle ear ossicles from the jaw

Project description:Multiple mammalian lineages independently evolved a definitive mammalian middle ear (DMME) through breakdown of Meckel’s cartilage (MC). However, the cellular and molecular drivers of this evolutionary transition remain unknown for most mammal groups. Here, we identify such drivers in the living marsupial opossum Monodelphis domestica, whose MC transformation during development anatomically mirrors the evolutionary transformation observed in fossils. Specifically, we link increases in cellular apoptosis and TGF-BR2 signalling to MC breakdown in opossums. We demonstrate that a simple change in TGF-b signalling is sufficient to inhibit MC breakdown during opossum development, indicating that changes in TGF-b signalling might be key during mammalian evolution. Furthermore, the apoptosis that we observe during opossum MC breakdown does not seemingly occur in mouse, consistent with homoplastic DMME evolution in the marsupial and placental lineages.

The Transcriptome of the Didelphys virginiana Opossum Kidney OK Proximal Tubule Cell Line

Project description:The OK cell line derived from kidney of a female opossum Didelphys virginiana has proven to be a useful model in which to investigate the unique regulation of ion transport and membrane trafficking mechanisms in the proximal tubule (PT). Sequence data and comparison of the transcriptome of this cell line to eutherian mammal PTs would further broaden the utility of this culture model. However, genomic sequence for Didelphys virginiana is not available and although a draft genome sequence for the opossum Monodelphis domestica (sequenced in 2012 by the Broad Institute) exists, its relatedness and similarity of the transcriptome to the Didelphys virginiana species is not known. The Monodelphis domestica sequence is not highly annotated, and the majority of transcripts are predicted rather than experimentally validated. Using deep RNA sequencing of the Didelphys virginiana OK cell line we characterized its transcriptome using de novo transcriptome assembly and alignment to the Monodelphis domestica genome. The quality of the de novo assembled transcriptome was assessed by the extent of homology to sequences in nucleotide and protein databases. Gene expression levels in the OK cell line, from both the de novo transcriptome and genes aligned to the Monodelphis domestica genome, were compared to publicly available rat kidney nephron segment expression data. Our studies demonstrate the expression in OK cells of numerous PT specific ion transporters and other key proteins relevant for rodent and human PT function. The sequence and expression data reported here provide a new and important resource for studies on the regulation of PT mRNA and protein expression.

snRNA-seq of opossum (Monodelphis domestica) adult testis

Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 9,926 nuclei in opossum adult testis. This dataset includes three samples from three different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.

snATAC-seq of the gray short-tailed opossum cerebellum in two developmental stages

Project description:This study used droplet-based snATAC-seq to profile the chromatin accessibility landscape of 19,204 nuclei in the opossum (Monodelphis domestical) cerebellum across two developmental stages (postnatal day 21 and adult). The study included two biological replicates per stage, one from each sex, and an additional adult sample enriched for white matter. Cerebelli were dissected in two halves, nuclei were extracted from one half and profiled using 10x single-cell ATAC reagent kit (v1.1) and a Chromium controller. The white matter enriched sample was dissected from coronal cerebellum slices. Libraries were sequenced using paired-reads on Illumina NextSeq 550 and initial data processing was performed using Cellranger ATAC (1.1).

Ab initio identification of a marsupial-specific imprinted gene via genome-wide histone state profiling in opossum fibroblasts

Project description:We generated genome-wide histone maps of four histone modifications, H3K4me3, H3K9Ac, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3, by ChIP-seq in male fibroblasts isolated from a model marsupial, Monodelphis domestica. We assayed the correlation and association of these histone modifications with each other, certain genomic elements such as CpG islands and predicted promoters, and the transcriptional states of the genes they mark. Generally, we found that promoters of actively transcribed genes are associated with H3K4me3 and H3K9Ac and lack H3K9me3 and H3K27me3. We also show that transcriptionally opposing, mutually exclusive histone modifications mark monoallelically expressed and imprinted genes in our samples.
