Project description:<p>The purpose of this study is to provide a reference profile of small extracellular RNAs in body fluids. These samples were originally obtained in a study that had a different purpose. The purpose of the original study was to add excess biological materials during the course of IVF treatment to a tissue bank. These biological materials included follicular fluid (the liquid that comes out of the ovary with the egg), granulosa cells (cells that surround the egg and help it grow), and other biological materials that help eggs, sperm, and embryos stay healthy and grow outside the body. These banked specimens would allow researchers to learn more about infertility and how to treat it, including studying how to identify the healthiest eggs, sperm, and embryos and how to help them stay healthy and grow.</p>

Project description:In our study, differential male nucleus events and development behaviors were revealed from the fertilized eggs in response to the sperm from males of genotypic sex determination (GSD) and temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) in gibel carp. When the eggs of maternal fish were fertilized by the sperm from males of GSD, the fertilized egg encountered similar sexual reproduction events and behaviors. However, when the eggs of maternal fish were fertilized by the sperm from males of TSD, a typical process of gynogenesis was observed. To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of differential sperm nucleus development behaviors in the fertilized eggs, iTRAQ-based quantitative semen proteomics were performed on three semen samples from three males of GSD and three semen samples from three males of TSD respectively.

Project description:Here we report successful gene knock-in (KI) in the eggs of Schistosoma mansoni by combining CRISPR/Cas9 with single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODNs). We targeted the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene of S. mansoni using two synthetic guide RNAs (gRNAs), X5 and X7, respectively. Liver eggs of S. mansoni were exposed to CRISPR-vector containing X5 or X7 by electroporation. Simultaneously, eggs were transfected with a ssODN donor encoding a stop codon in all six frames. Next generation sequencing analysis revealed that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing in S. mansoni eggs resulted in Homology-Directed Repair (HDR) when template DNA ssODN provided. Furthermore, soluble egg antigen (SEA) from AChE-modified eggs exhibited markedly reduced AChE activity compared with controls, indicative that programmed Cas9 cleavage mutated the AChE gene. Following injection of modified schistosome eggs into the tail veins of mice, a significant decrease in granuloma size in the lungs of these animals. Notably, an enhanced Th2 response induced by eggs in lung, and splenocytes small intestine-draining mesenteric lymph node cells was also generated in mice injected with X5-KI eggs in different methods. These findings further demonstrate the power and utility of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing for undertaking functional genomics studies in schistosomes.

Project description:The Brwd1 mutation, though having dramatic effects on the spermatocyte transcriptome, had little effect on the oocyte transcriptome. Postmeiotic gene expression is essential for development and maturation of sperm and eggs. In B6/C3H females, Brwd1 ablation causes severe chromosome condensation and structural defects associated with abnormal telomere structure. In contrast to males, transcriptome analysis at the germinal vesicle stage revealed only minor changes in gene expression including a >2 fold overexpression of the histone methyltransferase MLL5 and LINE-1 elements transposons. Thus, loss of BRWD1 function interferes with the completion of oogenesis and spermatogenesis through sexually dimorphic mechanisms. Our results demonstrate that BRWD1 is essential for the epigenetic control of chromosome stability during female meiosis while playing a critical role in haploid gene transcription during the post-meiotic differentiation events of spermiogenesis.

Project description:We performed ATAC-seq in mouse sperms and fertilized eggs with wild-type or P1 mutation (phosphorylation sites by SRPK1) to capture early genome reprogramming events ~5 hours post insemination. Surprisingly, we detected broadly distributed ATAC-seq reads across the mouse genome to paternal and maternal gametes formed with wild-type and single mutant sperm, and in contrast, we saw individual peaks with zygotes formed with the double mutant sperm. After assigning to paternal and maternal genomes, we found that the reads assignable to paternal genome was decreased with single and double mutants, compare with wild-type. Furthermore, we found the paternal genome in eggs fertilized with the double mutant sperm essentially retained all sperm-specific ATAC-seq peaks, which were also overlapped with the published H3.3 ChIP-seq signals on wild-type sperm, mostly corresponding to TSSs. Strikingly, the ATAC-seq signals on the maternal genome from eggs fertilized with the double mutant P1 sperm were literally identical to those in MII oocyte. Based on these data, we draw two important conclusions: (i) dramatic chromatin remodeling takes place in a highly coordinated fashion in both paternal and maternal pronuclei before they merge, and (ii) SRPK1-catalyzed protamine phosphorylation initiates such synchronized genome reprogramming in both gametes.

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify the human sperm tail proteome using normozoospermic samples. In particular, we were interested in identifying the centrosomal proteins present in the human sperm.

Project description:Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome is severe teratozoospermia, displaying the separation of the sperm head and tail. In 2015, we first reported that genetic ablation of SPATA6 results in the separation of sperm head and tail. Here, we focus on a co-chaperone protein BAG5 that interacts with SPATA6 and expresses in steps 9-16 spermatids. The deficiency of BAG5 in male mice causes the abnormal assembly of the head-tail coupling apparatus (HTCA), leading to acephalic spermatozoa and male infertility. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that HTCA formation-related proteins (SPATA6), cargo transport-related myosin proteins (MYO5A and MYL6) and dynein proteins (DYNLT1, DCTN1 and DNAL1) were misfolded after loss of BAG5. Further, BAG5 interacts with HSPA8 to regulate its affinity with SPATA6, myosin proteins and dynein proteins. Therefore, we speculate that BAG5 regulates the assembly of the head-tail coupling apparatus (HTCA) by activating the protein-folding function of HSPA8.
