Y-chromosome clonal random expression produces mosaics in male mice

ABSTRACT: Monoallelic expression of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) genes produces female mosaicism, but it is unknown whether chromosome Y (chrY) mosaicism exists in males. ChrY contains some ubiquitously expressed and evolutionary conserved dosage-sensitive regulator genes, including neighbouring Kdm5d, Ddx3y, Uty, and (in mice) Eif2s3y, that have on chrX counterparts that escape XCI. Here, we have produced a transgenic mice line containing an EGFP gene between Uty and Ddx3y genes. These males have mosaic (tortoiseshell) green fluorescence in the skin, similar to females carrying one copy (hemizygous) of an X-linked EGFP transgene owing to inactivation of one chrX, and show clonal inheritance of the inactive state through cell division. The skin tortoiseshell expression of the Y-GFP indicates that the choice of which chrY remains active is stably maintained and clonally inherited. We have produced 3 Sertoli lines from Y-GFP transgenic male, and we have separated by flow cytometry size homogeneous GFP-positive and GFP-negative cells. To analyse the transcriptomic profile and evaluate whether genes from chrY follow the same EGFP expression pattern and explore the regulatory mechanism of the chrY we performed RNA-seq. The results indicate that GFP-positive and GFP-negative cells have considerable differences in their expression levels at chrY, chrX and autosomal chromosomes. Concretely, 18 chrY genes show under expression in GFP-negative cells, including Ddx3y, Zfy1, Zfy2, Usp9y, Uba1y and 10 genes from the Rbmy family. Moreover, the differences in expression observed brings out the influence of chromosome Y expression on the expression of the rest of the autosomal genes.

Impact of a Uty gene trap on the regulation of genes and the abundance of corresponding transcripts in adult mouse somatic (non-reproductive) cells (nucRNA-Seq)

Project description:In addition to sperm-related genes, the male-specific chromosome Y (chrY) contains a class of ubiquitously expressed and evolutionary conserved dosage-sensitive regulator genes, which include the neighboring Uty, Ddx3y and (in mice) Eif2s3y genes. However, the impact of targeted mutations of these genes on the functions of adult non-reproductive somatic cells is still unknown due to lack of experimental evidence. We thus compared adult male mice carrying a gene trap within their Uty gene (UtyGT) to wild-type (WT) isogenic controls, and performed deep sequencing of RNA and genome-wide profiling of chromatin in extracts from either cardiac tissue, cardiomyocyte-specific nuclei and purified cardiomyocytes. The impact of UtyGT on gene transcription was mostly limited to its effects on genes surrounding the locus of insertion, i.e. Uty, Ddx3y, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contained within their introns, Eif2s3y, as well as on the autosomal Malat1 lncRNA. Notwithstanding, UtyGT also caused coordinate changes in the abundance of hundreds of mRNA transcripts related to particular cell functions, including RNA processing and translation. The results altogether indicated that tightly co-regulated chrY genes had nonetheless more widespread effects on the autosomal transcriptome in adult somatic cells, most likely due to mechanisms other than just transcriptional regulation of protein-coding genes.

DDX3Y and other Male Specific Region of Y Chromosome Genes may modulate neuronal differentiation and mediate various biological pathways in addition to their well described role regulating spermatogenesis

Project description:Human tissue based proteomics projects are challenging due to low abundance of proteins and tissue specificity of protein expression. In this study, we aimed to develop a cell-based approach to profile the male specific region of the Y chromosome (MSY) proteins. First, we profiled the expression of 23 Y chromosome genes and 15 of their X-linked homologues during neural cell differentiation from NT2 cells at three different developmental stages using qRT-PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescent (IF) techniques. The expression level of 12 Y-linked genes significantly increased over neural differentiation. Including RBMY1, EIF1AY, DDX3Y1, HSFY1, BPY2, PCDH11Y, UTY, RPS4Y1, USP9Y, SRY, PRY, and ZFY. Subsequently, DDX3Y was selected as a candidate for knockdown as it was significantly expressed in neural progenitor cells and it is known to be expressed in a gender specific manner and play a role in spermatogenesis. A siRNA-mediated DDX3Y knockdown in neural progenitor cells impaired cell cycle progression and increased apoptosis, consequently interrupting differentiation. Label-free quantitative shotgun proteomics based on a spectral counting approach was then used to characterize the proteomic profile of the cells after DDX3Y knockdown. Among 920 reproducibly identified proteins detected, 74 proteins were differentially expressed following DDX3Y siRNA treatment compared to mock treated cells. Functional grouping indicated these proteins were associated with cell cycle, cell-to-cell signaling, apoptosis and other important networks such as RNA processing and transcription regulation. Disease-based analysis confirmed DDX3Y involvement primarily in neurological and RNA metabolism disorders. Our results confirm that MSY genes are expressed in male neuronal cells, and demonstrate that Y linked DDX3 (DDX3Y) could play a multifunctional role in neural cell development in a sexually dimorphic manner.

Sperm miRNA expression data from male C57BL/6J, C57BL/6J-ChrY^SJL, and C57BL/6J-ChrY^RF

Project description:The prevalence of some autoimmune diseases (AID) is greater in females compared with males, notwithstanding that disease severity is often greater in males. The reason for this sexual dimorphism (SD) is unknown, but may reflect negative selection of Y chromosome (ChrY) bearing sperm during spermatogenesis or male fetuses early in the course of conception/pregnancy. Previously, we showed that the SD in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is associated with copy number variation (CNV) in ChrY multicopy genes. Here, we test the hypothesis that CNV in ChrY multicopy genes influences the paternal parent-of-origin effect on EAE susceptibility in female mice. We show that C57BL/6J consomic strains of mice possessing an identical ChrX and CNV in ChrY multicopy genes exhibit a female biased sex-ratio and sperm head abnormalities, consistent with X-Y intragenomic conflict arising from an imbalance in CNV between homologous ChrX:ChrY multicopy genes. These males also display paternal transmission of EAE to female offspring and differential loading of miRNAs within the sperm nucleus. These findings provide evidence for a genetic mechanism at the level of the male gamete that contributes to the SD in EAE and paternal parent-of-origin effects in female mice, raising the possibility that a similar mechanism may contribute to the SD in MS.
