Single-cell multi-omics sequencing reveals the epigenomic landscapes in human spermatogenesis [STRT-seq; scCOOL-seq]

ABSTRACT: Human spermatogenesis is a well-ordered dynamic process, which ensures the long-term production of functional spermatozoa; however, the roles of DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility in this process remain largely unknown. Here, by simultaneously investigating the chromatin accessibility, DNA methylome and transcriptome landscapes of human spermatogenesis using the modified single-cell chromatin overall omic-scale landscape sequencing approach (Modified scCOOL-seq), we revealed that the transcriptional changes throughout human spermatogenesis were correlated with the dynamic alternations of chromatin accessibility; particularly, several potential transcription factors and a set of regulatory elements involved in such process were identified. Remarkably, a round of DNA demethylation was uncovered upon meiosis initiation in human spermatogenesis, which was associated with male meiotic recombination and conserved between human and mouse. And aberrant DNA hypermethylation at recombination hotspots could be detected in leptotene spermatocytes of certain nonobstructive azoospermia patients. Functionally, the intervention of DNA demethylation affected male meiotic recombination. Collectively, this study provides multi-omics landscapes of human spermatogenesis at single-cell resolution, and offers insights into the association between DNA demethylation and male meiotic recombination.

Meiotic gene transcription programs are mediated by A-MYB and BRDT-dependent RNA Pol II pause release during mammalian prophase I [leChRO-seq]

Project description:During meiotic prophase I, germ cells must balance transcriptional activation with meiotic recombination and chromosome synapsis, biological processes requiring extensive changes to chromatin state and structure. Here we explored the interplay between chromatin accessibility and transcription across a detailed time-course of murine male meiosis by measuring genome-wide patterns of chromatin accessibility, transcription, and processed mRNA. To understand the relationship between these parameters of gene regulation and recombination, we integrated these data with maps of double-strand break formation. Maps of nascent transcription showed that Pol II is loaded on chromatin and maintained in a paused state early during meiosis. In pachynema, paused Pol II is released in a coordinated transcriptional burst resulting in ~3-fold increase in transcription. Release from pause is mediated by the transcription factor A-MYB and the testis-specific bromodomain protein, BRDT. The burst of transcriptional activity is both temporally and spatially segregated from key steps of meiotic recombination: double strand breaks show evidence of chromatin accessibility earlier during prophase I and at distinct loci from those undergoing transcriptional activation, despite shared chromatin marks. Our findings uncover the mechanisms of transcriptional activation and how cells compartmentalize transcription and recombination during meiosis.

Extensive sex differences at the initiation of meiotic recombination

Project description:Meiotic recombination differs between males and females, however, when and how these differences are established is unknown. We identify extensive sex differences at recombination initiation by mapping hotspots of meiotic DNA double strand breaks in male and female mice. Contrary to past findings in humans, few hotspots are used uniquely in either sex. Instead, grossly different recombination landscapes result from up to 15-fold differences in hotspot use between males and females. Indeed, most recombination occurs at sex-biased hotspots. Sex biased hotspots appear to be partly determined by chromosome structure, and DNA methylation, absent in females at the onset of meiosis, plays a substantial role. Sex differences are also evident later in meiosis as the repair frequency of distal meiotic breaks as crossovers diverges in males and females. Suppression of distal crossovers may help to minimize age-related aneuploidy that arises due to cohesion loss during dictyate arrest in females.

Screening of genes involved in chromosome segregation in meiosis I

Project description:Prophase I of male meiosis involves dynamic chromosome segregation processes during early spermatogenesis, including synapsis, meiotic recombination, and cohesion. Genetic defects in genes participating in these processes consistently cause reproduction failure in mice. To identify candidate genes responsible for infertility in humans, we performed expression profiling of mouse spermatogenic cells undergoing meiotic prophase I.

ISWI chromatin remodeler SMARCA5 is essential for meiotic gene expression and male fertility in mammals

Project description:Regulation of the transcriptome to promote meiosis is important for sperm development and fertility. However, how chromatin remodeling directs the transcriptome during meiosis in male germ cells is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the ISWI family ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor SMARCA5 (SNF2H) plays a critical role in regulating meiotic prophase progression during spermatogenesis. Males with germ cell-specific depletion of SMARCA5 are infertile and unable to form sperm. Loss of Smarca5 results in failure of meiotic progression with abnormal spermatocytes beginning at the pachytene stage and an aberrant global increase in chromatin accessibility, especially at genes important for meiotic prophase.

Proteome landscape of mouse primordial germ cells

Project description:Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are precursors of both male and female gametes as fundamental materials for organism development. The transcriptome, methylome and chromatin accessibility profiles of PGCs in both mice and humans have been recently reported. However, little is known about the characteristics of PGCs at the protein levels, which directly exert cellular functions. Here, we construct landscapes of both proteome of mouse PGCs at E11.5, E13.5 and E16.5 days, the three critical developmental windows for PGCs’ sex differentiation, female meiosis initiation and male mitotic arrest. In each developmental stage of PGCs nearly 2000-3000 proteins are identified, among which specific functional pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation, DNA damage repair, and meiotic cell cycle are involved for different events during PGCs development. Thus, our work offers a valuable resource for the systematic investigations of PGC development at protein level.
