RNA-Seq and RNA Polymerase II ChIP-Seq of mouse spermatogenesis

ABSTRACT: To characterize gene expression in spermatogenesis we sequenced eight mRNA samples from testes of juvenile mice aged between 6 and 38 days post partum. We then classified gene expression profiles and found over 1,000 meiotically-expressed protein-coding genes that have not been previously reported in relation to spermatogenesis. Furthermore, we developed an in silico de-convolution approach to estimate cell type-specific gene expression from temporal gene expression profiles and applied it to our dataset. To further characterize transcription during spermatogenesis, we determined RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) distribution along the genome using ChIP-Seq.

UXT is required for spermatogenesis in mice

Project description:Male mammals must simultaneously produce prodigious numbers of sperm and maintain an adequate reserve of stem cells to ensure continuous production of gametes throughout life. Failures in the mechanisms responsible for balancing germ cell differentiation and spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) self-renewal can result in infertility. We discovered a novel requirement for Ubiquitous Expressed Transcript (UXT) in spermatogenesis by developing the first knockout mouse model for this gene. Constitutive deletion of Uxt is embryonic lethal, while conditional knockout in the male germline results in a Sertoli cell-only phenotype during the first wave of spermatogenesis that does not recover in the adult. This phenotype begins to manifest between 6 and 7 days post-partum, just before meiotic entry. Gene expression analysis revealed that Uxt deletion downregulates the transcription of genes governing SSC self-renewal, differentiation, and meiosis, consistent with its previously defined role as a transcriptional co-factor. Our study has revealed the first in vivo function for UXT in the mammalian germline as a regulator of distinct transcriptional programs in SSCs and differentiating spermatogonia.

Transcription profiling of spermatogenesis in juvenile mouse testis and analysis of four germ cell deficient mouse models, time series

Project description:Temporal study of the first wave of spermatogenesis in juvenile mouse testis and analysis of four germ cell deficient mouse models.<br> A series of purified testis cell-types (McCarrey libraries)constituting a focussed gene set was exploited to examine gene expression in prepubertal mouse testis. Testis RNA from C57/BL6J mice at various ages post partum was compared to a common control consisting of adult (8 week) testis RNA from the same strain(also corresponding to the last time-point).This generates a time course showing the activation of genes on the array across the first wave of spermatogenesis, which can then be correlated with the appearance of specific germ cell types, allowing assignation of unknown genes to differing cell types. <br> <br> Adult testis RNA from four different genetic models of infertility (XXSxrb, mshi, Bax -/-, bs) were compared to age- and strain-matched normal control testis RNA. These models possess different cellular complements within the testis, which can be interpreted within the framework established by the first wave analysis and used to refine the assignment of genes to cell types.

Complementary critical functions of Zfy1 and Zfy2 in mouse spermatogenesis and reproduction

Project description:The mammalian Y chromosome plays a critical role in spermatogenesis. However, the exact functions of each gene in the Y chromosome have not been completely elucidated, partly owing to difficulties in gene targeting analysis of the Y chromosome. Zfy was first proposed to be a sex determination factor, but its function in spermatogenesis has been recently elucidated. Nevertheless, Zfy gene targeting analysis has not been performed thus far. Here, we adopted the highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate individual Zfy1 or Zfy2 knockout (KO) mice and Zfy1 and Zfy2 double knockout (Zfy1/2-DKO) mice. While individual Zfy1 or Zfy2-KO mice did not show any significant phenotypic alterations in fertility, Zfy1/2-DKO mice were infertile and displayed abnormal sperm morphology, fertilization failure, and early embryonic development failure. Mass spectrometric screening, followed by confirmation with western blot analysis, showed that PLCZ1, PLCD4, PRSS21, and HTT protein expression were significantly deceased in spermatozoa of Zfy1/2-DKO mice compared with those of wild-type mice. These results are consistent with the phenotypic changes seen in the double-mutant mice. Collectively, our strategy and findings revealed that Zfy1 and Zfy2 have redundant functions in spermatogenesis, facilitating a better understanding of fertilization failure and early embryonic development failure.

Transcription profiling of mouse germline during spermatogenesis reveals X and Y occupy a novel compartment in the post-meiotic spermatid and adopt a non-Rabl configuration

Project description:In mammals, the X and Y chromosomes are subject to meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI) during prophase I in the male germline, but their status thereafter is currently unclear. An abundance of X-linked spermatogenesis genes has spawned the view that the X must be active [1-8]. On the other hand, the idea that the imprinted paternal X of the early embryo may be pre-inactivated by MSCI suggests that silencing may persist longer [9-12]. To clarify this issue, we establish a comprehensive X-expression profile during mouse spermatogenesis. Here, we discover that the X and Y occupy a novel compartment in the post-meiotic spermatid and adopt a non-Rabl configuration. We demonstrate that this post-meiotic sex chromatin (PMSC) persists throughout spermiogenesis into mature sperm and exhibits epigenetic similarity to the XY body. In the spermatid, 87% of X-linked genes remain suppressed post-meiotically, while autosomes are largely active. We conclude that chromosome-wide X-silencing continues from meiosis to the end of spermiogenesis and discuss implications for proposed mechanisms of imprinted X-inactivation. Independent germ cell preps were used for array analysis. Duplicates were provided for each sample.

RNA polymerase II pausing is essential for appropriate gene expression and meiosis during spermatogenesis

Project description:Male germ cell development requires precise regulation of gene activity, in a cell-type and stage-specific manner, with perturbations in gene expression during spermatogenesis associated with infertility. Here, we use both steady-state and nascent RNA sequencing strategies to comprehensively characterize gene expression across male germ cell populations, to dissect the mechanisms of gene control and provide new insights towards therapy. We discover a requirement for pausing of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) at the earliest stages of sperm differentiation to establish the landscape of gene activity across development. Accordingly, genetic knockout of the Pol II pause-inducing factor NELF in immature germ cells impairs differentiation to mature spermatids. Moreover, our work reveals unanticipated roles for Pol II pausing in the regulation of meiosis during spermatogenesis, with the presence of paused Pol II influencing double strand break formation by Spo11, and disruption of Spo11 expression in germ cells lacking NELF.

Transcriptional profiling of flatfish (Solea senegalensis) spermatogenesis: mid versus late spermatogenesis

Project description:The Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is a marine flatfish of high economic value and a target species for aquaculture. Here, we used a transcriptomic approach to investigate changes in genes expressed in the Senegalese sole testis throughout spermatogenesis in wild-caught fish adapted to captivity. We identified approximately 400 genes that are differentially expressed during the progression of spermatogenesis and that participate in processes such as activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, sperm maturation and motility, cell adhesion or cytoskeletal remodeling. The results from this study contribute to our understanding of the molecular changes ocurring during spermatogenesis in the Senegalese sole. This study represents spermatogenesis in Solea senegalensis: mid versus late spermatogenesis. Total RNA from testes at different stages in spermatogenesis (early, mid, late and functional maturation) from F0 wild Senegalese sole (3-4 animals at each stage) was extracted using the RNeasy extraction kit (Qiagen) and treated with DNAse following the manufacturer’s instructions. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of total RNA was performed using the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer. RNA samples from each stage were pooled and amplified, labelled and hybridized to a custom-made oligonucleotide microarray containing 5,087 Senegalese sole Unigene sequences. In brief, pooled testicular RNAs from each stage were amplified and the resulting cRNAs labelled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, mixed in equal amounts and hybridized to the microarray for 17 h at 60 ºC.
