Expression analyses to identify genes involved in testis-specific vascular development

ABSTRACT: One of the earliest morphological changes during testicular differentiation is the establishment of an XY specific vasculature. The testis vascular system is derived from mesonephric endothelial cells that migrate into the gonad. In the XX gonad, mesonephric cell migration and testis vascular development is inhibited by WNT4 signaling. In Wnt4 mutant XX gonads, endothelial cells migrate from the mesonephros and form a male-like coelomic vessel. Consequently, the XX Wnt4 mutant mice presented an opportunity to focus a gene expression screen on the processes of mesonephric cell migration and testicular vascular development. We compared differences in gene expression between XY Wnt4+/+ and XX Wnt4+/+ gonads and between XX Wnt4-/- and XX Wnt4+/+ gonads to identify genes similarly upregulated in wildtype XY gonads and XX mutant gonads that might play important roles in testis-specific vascular development. Keywords: genetic sex and phenotypic comparisons

Gonadal sex reversal at single-cell resolution in Znrf3-deficient mice

Project description:Early gonadal-mesonephros tissues give rise to the developing gonad, with potential to diverge towards either a testis or ovarian gonadal fate. ZNRF3 mutant homozygotic mice develop a variable sex reversal previously uncharacterised at the single cell level. We used scRNA-Seq to compare XX and XY WT C57BL/6J mouse gonads to ZNRF3-deficient mice across multiple timepoints, during and after initial sex determination.

Transcription profiling of XX and XY sorted mouse somatic support cells and XX and XY mouse whole gonads to identify potential new mammalian gonadal sex determining genes.

Project description:Gonadal sex determining (GSD) genes that initiate fetal ovarian and testicular development and differentiation are expressed in the cells of the urogenital ridge that differentiate as somatic support cells (SSCs), i.e., granulosa cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. To identify potential new mammalian GSD genes, we analyzed the gene expression differences between XX and XY SSCs cells isolated from the gonads of embryonic day (E) 13 mouse fetuses carrying an EGFP reporter transgene expressed specifically in SSCs. In addition, genome wide expression differences between XX and XY E13 whole gonads were examined. Newly identified differentially expressed transcripts are potential GSD genes involved in unexplained human sex reversal cases. Experiment Overall Design: Two seperate RNA samples were obtained from E13 XX and XY sorted EGFP+ cells, and two seperate RNA samples were obtained from E13 XX and XY pooled gonads. Approximately 20ng of total RNA from each sample was used to generate biotin-labelled cDNA. Approximately 2.5ug biotin labelled cDNA of each sample was used for each Mouse Genome 430v2.0 GeneChip array (Affymetrix). Significantly differentially expressed transcripts were identified using R/maanova. Statistical significance was determined at a false discovery rate value of equal to or less than 1%.

Expression analysis of Wv/Wv fetal gonads

Project description:Following sex determination, XY and XX gonads develop into a testis and an ovary, respectively. Depending on the sex of the gonad, resident germ cells will subsequently be committed to either spermatogenesis or oogenesis. In this study we took advantage of the Wv/Wv mouse genetic model, in which gonads are almost devoided of germ cells, to uncover gene expression underlying fetal germ cell development. Male and Female gonads were collected at 12, 14 and 16 days post coitum (dpc) from wild-type and Wv/Wv mouse embryos. Total RNAs were extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Expression signals from male and female gonads or from wild-type and mutant gonads were compared to identify sexually dimorphic genes as well as genes expressed in germ cell during fetal gonad development.

Fine Time-Course Expression Analysis of Mammalian Sex Determination in 129S1/SvImJ and C57BL/6J XX and XY mice

Project description:We analyzed the differentiation of the bipotential gonad into a testis or an ovary in 2 strains of mice - 129S1/SvImJ (129S1) and C57BL/6J (B6). Our results provide a high resolution view of the initiation and canalization of the differentiation of the gonad. It also reveals global differences in the transcriptome between 129S1 and B6 mice. Total RNA was obtained from XX and XY embryonic mouse gonads at 6 equally spaced time points between embryonic day (E) 11.0 and E12.0 from 129S1 and B6 mice. Mice were staged using tail somite numbers

Potency of Testicular Somatic Environment to Support Spermatogenesis in XX/Sry Transgenic Male Mice

Project description:Sry is sufficient to induce testis formation and subsequent male development of internal and external genitalia in chromosomally female mice and humans. In XX sex-reversed males such as XX/Sry-transgenic (XX/Sry) mice, however, testicular germ cells always disappear soon after birth due to germ cell autonomous defects. Therefore, it remains unclear whether or not Sry alone is sufficient to induce a fully functional testicular soma capable of supporting complete spermatogenesis in the XX body. Here we demonstrated that the testicular somatic environment of XX/Sry males is defective in the later phases of spermatogenesis. Spermatogonial transplantation analyses using XX/Sry male mice revealed that donor XY spermatogonia are capable of proliferating, entering meiosis and differentiating into the round spermatid stage. XY donor-derived round spermatids, however, were frequently detached from the XX/Sry seminiferous epithelia and underwent cell death, thereby preventing further progress beyond the elongated spermatid stage. In contrast, immature XY seminiferous tubule segments transplanted under XX/Sry testis capsules clearly displayed proper differentiation into elongated spermatids in the transplanted XY donor tubules. Microarray analysis of seminiferous tubules isolated from XX/Sry testes confirmed missing expression of several Y-linked genes and alterations in the expression profile of genes associated with spermatogenesis. Therefore, our findings indicate dysfunction of the somatic tubule components, probably Sertoli cells, of XX/Sry testes, supporting our hypothesis that Sry alone is insufficient to induce a fully functional Sertoli cell in XX mice.

Gonadal Identity in the Absence of pro-Testis Factor SOX9 and pro-Ovary Factor beta-catenin

Project description:The main goal of our study is to identify the molecular events that determine the gonadal identity in mammals. Although testis and ovary arise from a common embryonic primordium, they represent outcomes of opposing fate determination. This decision to differentiate into a testis or an ovary hinges upon the balance between two antagonizing factors, pro-testis SOX9 and pro-ovary β-catenin. This microarray analysis led to the identification of the genes involved in the fate of XX and XY gonads in absence of SOX9 and beta-catenin We developed mouse genetic models that lack either Sox9, β-catenin, or both specifically in the somatic cells. All embryos used in this study resulted from the crossing between Ctnnb1f/f; Sox9f/f females with Sf1-cre+/Tg ; Ctnnb1+/f; Sox9+/f males. XX and XY fetal gonads were collected at embryonic day E14.5

Reprogramming of somatic cell fate in fetal mouse testis by FOXL2

Project description:From fish to human, FOXL2 is considered one of the most conserved markers of ovarian granulosa cell identity. To determine if the sole expression of FOXL2 can determine ovarian differentiation, we created a mouse model that allows the conditional expression of FOXL2. Rosa26-CAG-LSL-Foxl2 mice were crossed to Sf1-Cre mice to induce the expression of FOXL2 in the SF1+ somatic cells of the fetal gonads.When FOXL2 was induced in the somatic cells of the undifferentiated testis, the Sertoli cells and consequently the other cell lineages composing the fetal gonads were feminized, resulting in a partial testis-to-ovary sex reversal We created a mouse genetic model that conditionaly express FOXL2 in the somatic cells of the fetal gonads. All embryos used in this study resulted from the crossing between Rosa26-CAG-LSL-Foxl2+/f and Sf1-cre+/Tg mice. XX and XY fetal gonads were collected at embryonic day E14.5. This microarray analysis led to the identification of the genes misregulated upon ectopic induction of FOXL2 in the fetal testis, and showed that FOXL2 expression resulted in feminization of both somatic and germ cells of the fetal gonad.

Identification of sex-biased miRNA involved in sex differentiation and spermatogenesis in yellow catfish by comparative transcriptome analysis

Project description:In this study, three small RNA libraries constructed from gonad tissues of XX female, XY male and YY super-male yellow catfish were sequenced by Solexa high-throughput sequencing technology to investigate the expression pattern of sex-biased microRNA. The sequencing data generated a total of 384 conserved miRNAs and 113 potential novel miRNAs, among which 23, 30 and 14 miRNAs were specifically detected in XX ovary, XY testis, and YY testis, respectively. Interestingly, more abundant piRNAs were found in ovary compared to testis in yellow catfish, which phenomenon is also observed in other fish species but opposite in mammalians. We detected a number of microRNAs differentially expressed between ovary and testis, such as miR-21, miR-462, miR-430 and -200 family. When compared the transcriptome between XY and YY testis, we observed relative lower expression of miR-141 and miR-429 in YY testis. Histological analysis indicated that YY super-males have more spermatids and less spermatocytes in spermatogenic cyst than XY males under the same age and culturing conditions. The expression level of miR-141 and 429 coincides with the progression of spermatogenesis both in yellow catfish and human. At last, The expression pattern of nine arbitrarily selected miRNAs detected by quantitative RT-PCR was consistent with the Solexa sequencing results. Our study provides a comprehensive miRNA transcriptome analysis for gonad of yellow catfish with different sex genotypes, and identifies a number of sex-biased miRNAs that are potentially involved in sex differentiation and spermatogenesis.
