Project description:To better understand human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), we profiled their transciptome and epigenome, which revealed the mechanism how human SSCs regulates their self-renewal versus differentiation dermination, as well as how latent pluripotency is established in human SSCs. Remarkly, we discovered signaling pathways (e.g. LIF, BMP, WNT) that differentially regulated self-renewal vesus differentiation in SSCs. We also discovered that SSCs repress core pluripotent factors (Sox2, Pou5f1 and Nanog) yet activate ancillary factors (e.g. Klf4, Mbd3, Tcf3, Sall4) transcriptionally and epigenetically.

Project description:We report the chromatin status in chicken Embryonic stem cells（ESCs）, Primordial germ cells (PGCs) and Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). H3K4me2 antibody was used to collect DNA sequences through CHIP experiments, and the DNA was analyzed by next-generation sequencing. We mapped the genome-wide chromatin maps of chicken ESCs, PGCs, and SSCs. We found that the entire genome of H3K4me2 in ESCs, PGCs, and SSCs was erased and then reconstructed. Most of the enriched genes were related to the cell lineage. It is mainly enriched in distal intergenic. H3K4me2 in the promoter first enriches in ESCs, then decreases in PGCs. The enrichment rebuilds in SSCs. This study provides a basis for analyzing the differences of chromatin status in ESCs, PGCs, and SSCs.

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells are the foundation of spermatogenesis and as such can serve as a tool for the treatment of infertility in prepubertal cancer survivors. Spermatogonial stem cells are unique as they develop from primordial germ cells (PGCs), which colonize the developing tubules as immature SSC precursors. It has been controversial, when SSCs are maturing to an adult-like stem cell and recent research has found that prepubertal SSCs are actually metabolically distinct from adult SSCs until puberty. Sertoli cells picture a major part of the SSC niche and undergo drastic changes with puberty and polarize to compartmentalize the seminiferous epithelium with formation of tight junctions to a tight basal part where SSCs reside and an apical part with more differentiated stages of spermatogenesis. In the study were mapping the progression of Sertoli cells maturation events to the metabolic changes SSCs undergo during prepubertal development.

Project description:Multipotent spermatogonial stem cells (mSSCs) derived from SSCs are a potential new source of individualized pluripotent cells in regenerate medicine such as ESCs. We hypothesized that the culture-induced reprogramming of SSCs was mediated by a mechanism different from that of iPS, and was due to up-regulation of specific pluripotency-related genes during cultivation. Through a comparative analysis of expression profile data, we try to find cell reprogramming candidate factors from mouse spermatogonial stem cells. We used microarrays to analyze the gene expression profiles of culture-induced reprogramming converting unipotent spermatogonial stem cells to pluripotent spermatogonial stem cells. Three types of spermatogonial stem cells were mechanically collected according to morphological criteria for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Because spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are virtually immortal by serial transplantation, SSC decrease in aged testes is considered to be caused by deteriorated microenvironment. Here we report cell-intrinsic mode of SSC aging. SSCs cultured for 5 years proliferate more actively than young SSCs and showed enhanced glycolytic activity but remain euploid and exhibited stable androgenetic imprinting patterns. Moreover, the aged SSCs kept constant SSC activity despite shortened telomeres. The increased proliferative activity of aged SSCs was caused by Wnt7b expression, which likely occurred due to decreased polycomb complex2 activity. Aberrant Wnt7b expression not only decreased reactive oxygen species levels and mitochondria activity but also stimulated glycolysis via c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. Analysis of SSCs in Klotho aging mouse model also confirmed hyperactivation of JNK pathway and increased glycolysis. Therefore, not only SSC microenvironment but also intrinsic activation of Wnt7b-mediated glycolysis plays important roles in SSC aging.

Project description:The spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) niche is critical for SSC maintenance and the subsequent spermatogenesis. Numerous reproductive hazards impair the SSC niche, thereby result in aberrant SSC self-renewal and male infertility. However, promising agents targeting the impaired SSC niche to promote SSC self-renewal are still limited. Here, we screen out and assess the effects of Lovastatin on the self-renewal of mouse spermatogonial stem cells (mSSCs). Mechanistically, Lovastatin promotes the self-renewal of mSSCs and inhibits its inflammation and apoptosis through the regulation of isoprenoid intermediates. Likewise, other statins exhibit similar effects on SSC self-renewal. Remarkably, the treatment by Lovastatin could promote the self-renewal of mSSCs in the male gonadotoxicity model generated by busulfan injection. Noteworthy, we demonstrate that Lovastatin could significantly enhance the self-renewal of in vitro cultured primate SSCs. Collectively, our findings uncover that lovastatin could promote the self-renewal of both murine and primate SSCs and have implications for the treatment of certain male infertility using small compounds.
