Expression data from glp-1(e2141) hermaphrodites maintained with or without males for 8 days

ABSTRACT: Males induce dramatic physiological changes to hermaphrodites, including a significant shortening of lifespan. We have termed this effect as male-induced demise (MID) of hermaphrodites. This experiment was performed to analyse changes in gene expression due to the presence of males. We have shown that Knock down of utx-1 ameliorates the MID. In this experiment we also examine male-induce gene expression that may be altered when knocking down expression of utx-1 via RNAi. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression andidentified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes upon the addition of males.

Microarray on mock-treated or Orsay virus infected males and hermaphrodites of Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:This experiment investigates changes in gene expression upon Orsay virus infection and between males and hermaphrodites in the nematode Ceanorhabditis elegans. The laboratory reference strain N2 was used. For this strain, males are less susceptible to Orsay virus infection than hermaphrodites. The goal of the experiment was to identify genes that show different expression patterns for both sexes upon Orsay virus infection. We mock-treated or infected 48h-old C. elegans populations with Orsay virus and took samples 30-hours after infection. For each treatment-sex combination 8 samples were collected. Thereafter RNA was isolated, labelled, and hybridized on microarray. The gene-expression dynamics of previously identified genes (e.g. from literature and from a highly replicated N2 versus CB4856 experiment) were analyzed.

The X-linked H3K27me3 demethylase Utx is required for embryonic development in a sex specific manner [Agilent array data]

Project description:Embryogenesis requires the timely and coordinated activation of developmental regulators. It has been suggested that the recently discovered class of histone demethylases (UTX and JMJD3) that specifically target the repressive H3K27me3 modification play an important role in the activation of M-bM-^@M-^\bivalentM-bM-^@M-^] genes in response to specific developmental cues. To determine the requirements for UTX in pluripotency and development, we have generated Utx null ES cells and mutant mice. The loss of UTX had a profound effect during embryogenesis. Utx null embryos had reduced somite counts, neural tube closure defects and heart malformation which presented between E9.5 and E13.5. Unexpectedly, homozygous mutant female embryos were more severely affected than hemizygous mutant male embryos. In fact, we observed the survival of a subset of UTX-deficient males which were smaller in size and had reduced life-span. Interestingly, these animals were fertile with normal spermatogenesis. Consistent with a mid-gestation lethality, UTX null male and female ES cells gave rise to all three germ layers in teratoma assays although sex-specific differences could be observed in the activation of developmental regulators in embryoid body assays. Lastly, ChIP-seq analysis revealed an increase in H3K27me3 in Utx null male ES cells. In summary, our data demonstrate sex-specific requirements for this X-linked gene while suggesting a role for UTY during development.

Spatial Transcriptomics of C. elegans Males and Hermaphrodites Identifies Sex-Specific Differences in Gene Expression Patterns

Project description:To advance our understanding of the genetic programs that drive cell and tissue specialization, it is necessary to obtain a comprehensive overview of gene expression patterns. Here, we have used spatial transcriptomics to generate high-resolution, anteroposterior gene expression maps of C. elegans males and hermaphrodites. To explore these maps, we have developed computational methods for discovering region- and tissue-specific genes. We have found extensive sex-specific gene expression differences in the germline and sperm and discovered genes that are specifically expressed in the male reproductive tract. These include a group of uncharacterized genes that encode small secreted proteins that are required for male fertility. We conclude that spatial gene expression maps provide a powerful resource for identifying tissue-specific gene functions in C. elegans. Importantly, we found that expression maps from different animals can be precisely aligned, enabling transcriptome-wide comparisons of gene expression patterns.

The X-linked H3K27me3 demethylase Utx is required for embryonic development in a sex specific manner [Agilent array data]

Project description:Embryogenesis requires the timely and coordinated activation of developmental regulators. It has been suggested that the recently discovered class of histone demethylases (UTX and JMJD3) that specifically target the repressive H3K27me3 modification play an important role in the activation of “bivalent” genes in response to specific developmental cues. To determine the requirements for UTX in pluripotency and development, we have generated Utx null ES cells and mutant mice. The loss of UTX had a profound effect during embryogenesis. Utx null embryos had reduced somite counts, neural tube closure defects and heart malformation which presented between E9.5 and E13.5. Unexpectedly, homozygous mutant female embryos were more severely affected than hemizygous mutant male embryos. In fact, we observed the survival of a subset of UTX-deficient males which were smaller in size and had reduced life-span. Interestingly, these animals were fertile with normal spermatogenesis.

RNA-seq of whole body L2 females, L2 hermaphrodites, L2 converted females (hermaphrodite-fated larvae induced to develop as females), adult males and mixed stages individuals from the three-sexed nematode Auanema rhodensis

Project description:The nematode Auanema rhodensis is trioecious (co-occurrence of males, females and self-fertile hermaphrodites). To better understand its sex determination system, we have compared the transcriptomic profiles of early (L2) females, hermaphrodites and converted females (hermaphrodite-fated larvae induced to develop as females). Additionally, we sequenced the transcriptome of adult males and individuals from various stages and sexes (mixed stages samples) to compare global gene expression profiles along the assembled draft chromosomes of A. rhodensis (BioProject PRJEB29492). The RNA-seq data was also used to predict genes in the assembled genome. We generated three biological replicates for each RNA-seq condition (L2 females, L2 converted females, L2 hermaphrodites, males and mixed stages). Comparisons of the expression profiles of the L2 conditions was performed to identify genes potentially involved in the sexual differentiation process, using a standard RNA-seq comparison approach. Briefly, the cleaned reads were aligned to the genome using STAR, the abundance and identification of differentially expressed genes were assessed using FeatureCounts and DEseq2 (using as thresholds an absolute log2(Fold Change) >= 2 and an FDR <0.01).

Sex differences in NK cells mediated by the X-linked epigenetic regulator UTX

Project description:Sexually dimorphic immune responses are evident by increased susceptibility of males to viral infections. Interestingly, our results indicate that while males possess more natural killer (NK) cells, they display impaired effector function. These differences are attributed to lower male expression of X-linked UTX, an epigenetic regulator which escapes X-inactivation in females. NK cell-specific heterozygous deletion of UTX in females recapitulated male NK cell phenotypes of increased NK cells and defective effector function. Notably, mice with NK cell-intrinsic UTX deficiency show increased lethality to mouse cytomegalovirus. Integrative UTX CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis revealed a critical role for UTX in regulating the chromatin landscape and expression at gene loci involved in NK cell homeostasis and effector function. Collectively, these data implicate UTX as a molecular determinant of sex differences in NK cell homeostasis and effector function and suggest enhancing UTX as a strategy to boost endogenous NK effector responses.
