Project description:Long-term reproductive ability in mammalian females is sustained by the successive consumption of the finite pool of primordial follicles, the most primitive ovarian follicles that arise from cystic-oocytes during oogenesis. However, mechanisms underlying the formation of primordial follicles are largely unknown. Here we show that dynamic conversion of RNA-regulatory proteins precedes the formation of primordial follicles in mice. We find that, whereas stress granules dominate in cystic-oocytes, those are replaced by processing-bodies prior to the formation of primordial follicles that coincide with the expression of an evolutionally conserved RNA-binding protein, DDX6. Targeted deletion of Ddx6 disrupts processing-body assembly and perturbs cyst-breakdown. Furthermore, these events are orchestrated by an RNA-binding protein, ELAVL2. Our data suggest that cystic-oocytes switch post-transcriptional mechanism for upcoming formation of primordial follicles.

Project description:RNAseq analysis of suprabasal cells in the epidermis of control and K10rtTA;TRESpastin (which depolymerize microtubules) at E16.5 were performed. We observed the premature differentiation of the barrier and increased actomyosin contractility in suprabasal differentiated cells upon microtubule disruption compared to control, and proved the increased actomyosin contractility caused by microtubule depolymerization leads to basal stem cell hyperproliferation during epidermal development.

Project description:The assembly of the developmentally arrested primordial follicle and subsequent transition to the primary follicle are poorly understood processes critical to ovarian biology. Abnormal primordial follicle development can lead to pathologies such as premature ovarian failure. The current study used a genome-wide expression profile to investigate primordial follicle assembly and development. Rat ovaries with predominantly unassembled, primordial, or primary follicles were obtained. RNA from these ovaries was hybridized to rat microarray gene chips, and the gene expression (i.e., ovarian transcriptome) was compared between the developmental stages. Analysis of the ovarian transcriptome demonstrated 148 genes up-regulated and 50 genes down-regulated between the unassembled and primordial follicle stages. Observations demonstrate 80 genes up-regulated and 44 genes down-regulated between the primordial and primary follicle stages. The analysis demonstrated 2332 genes common among the three developmental stages, 146 genes specific for the unassembled follicles, 94 genes specific for the primordial follicles, and 151 genes specific for the primary follicles. Steroidogenic genes are up-regulated between unassembled and primordial follicles, and then many are again down-regulated between primordial and primary follicles. The hormones inhibin and Mullerian inhibitory substance (MIS) display a similar pattern of expression with the highest levels of mRNA in the primordial follicles. Several novel unknown genes that had dramatic changes in expression during primordial follicle development were also identified. Gene families/clusters identified that were up-regulated from unassembled to primordial follicles include growth factors and signal transduction gene clusters, whereas a down-regulated gene family was the synaptonemal complex genes associated with meiosis. Gene families/clusters that were up-regulated between primordial and primary follicles included immune response genes, metabolic enzymes, and proteases, whereas down-regulated gene families include the globulin genes and some steroidogenic genes. The expression of several growth factors changed during primordial follicle development, including vascular endothelial growth factor and insulin-like growth factor II. Elucidation of how these changes in gene expression coordinate primordial follicle assembly and the primordial to primary follicle transition provides a better understanding of these critical biological processes and allows selection of candidate regulatory factors for further investigation. Experiment Overall Design: RNA samples from two control groups (pooled untreated cultured ovaries) are compared to two treated groups (pooled cultured ovaries treated with progesterone)

Project description:Mek inhibitor is widely applied to maintain pluripotency, while prolonged Mek inhibition compromises the developmental potential of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). To better understand the mechanism of Mek in pluripotency maintenance, we first demonstrated that Mek regulates gene expression at post-transcriptional steps. Consistently, many of the 66 Mek substrates identified by quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis are involved in RNA processing. We further confirmed that S563 of Dcp1a, a mRNA decapping cofactor and P-body component, is phosphorylated by Mek1. Dcp1a, as well as two other P-body components Edc4 and Dcp2, are required for the proper self-renewal and differentiation of ESCs, indicating the role of P-bodies in ESCs. Dephosphorylation of Dcp1a S563 facilitates both self-renewal and differentiation of ESCs, through promoting P-body formation and RNA storage. In summary, our study identified 66 Mek substrates supporting the Erk-independent function of Mek, and revealed that Dcp1a, phosphorylated by Mek, regulates ESC self-renewal and differentiation, through modulating P-body formation.

Project description:Women are born with millions of primordial follicles which gradually decrease with increasing age and this irreversible supply of follicles completely exhausts at menopause. The fertility capacity of women diminishes in parallel with aging. The mechanisms for reproductive aging are not fully understood. In our recent work we observed a decline in BRCA1 mediated DNA repair in aging rat primordial follicles. To further understand the age-related molecular changes, we performed microarray gene expression analysis using total RNA extracted from immature (18â20 days) and aged (400â450 days) rat primordial follicles. The results of current microarray study revealed that there were 1011 (>1.5 fold, p<0.05) genes differentially expressed between two groups in which 422 genes were up-regulated and 589 genes were down-regulated in aged rat primordial follicles compared to immature. The gene ontology and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed a critical biological function such as cell cycle, oocyte meiosis, chromosomal stability, transcriptional activity, DNA replication and DNA repair were affected by age and this considerable difference in gene expression profiles may have adverse influence on oocyte quality. Our data provide information on the processes that may contribute to aging and age-related decline in fertility. In total of 6 samples, 3 replicate samples were from immature rat primordial follicles and 3 replicate samples were from aged rat primordial follicles. For each replicate sample, the primordial follicles isolated from multiple isolations (each time 10-20 rat ovaries) were finally pooled in order to get required quantity of RNA.

Project description:The early (primordial), middle and last stage ovarian follicles gestate important functionally changes during the whole growth phase. The primordial follicles establish the resting pool and keep silent until initiated growth. The middle stage follicles are to be destined for dominance or atresia. And the last stage fllicles develop till ovulation.We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Gene expression profiles of ovarian follicles during their growth phase were revealed in genome wide. Experiment Overall Design: We sought to obtain general expression profiles of ovarian follicles during their growth phase. Ovarian follicles in successive developmental stages were isolated from ovaries of prepubertal gilts for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To that end, we isolated follicles according to morphological criteria and diameter sizes at three time-points: primordial follicles (P), middle stage follicleS (M) and the last stage follicles (L).

Project description:Microtubule actin crosslinking factor 1 (Macf1) plays a role in coordinated actions of actin and microtubules in multiple cellular processes. Here we show that Macf1 is also critical for ciliogenesis in multiple cell types. Ablation of Macf1 in the developing retina abolishes ciliogenesis and basal bodies fail to dock to ciliary vesicles or migrate apically. Photoreceptor polarity is randomized while inner retinal cells laminate correctly, suggesting that photoreceptor maturation is guided by polarity cues provided by cilia. Deletion of Macf1 in adult photoreceptors caused reversal of basal body docking and loss of outer segments, reflecting a continuous requirement for Macf1 function. Macf1 was also shown to interact with ciliary proteins Mkks and Talpid3. We propose that a disruption of trafficking across microtubles to actin filaments underlies the ciliogenesis defect in cells lacking Macf1, and that Mkks and Talpid3 are involved in the coordination of microtubule and actin interactions.
