Sperm proteins presumably play critical roles in reproduction, but in many non-model animals their identities are unknown. A total of 147 sperm proteins from the echiuran worm Urechis unicinctus, the first sperm proteome in the phylum Annelida, are reported. The echiuran sperm proteome can be classified into diverse functional groups: energy metabolism (31%), protein synthesis and degradation (18%), spermatogenesis and sperm motility (12%), signal pathway (11%), ion channel and transport protein ...[more]

Mytilus galloprovincialis, sperm, LC-MSMS

Project description:Sperm contains essential proteins for interaction with eggs, however, there are only several sperm proteins reported with important role in fertilization, and gamete proteomics are limited in marine invertebrate species. We present here a sperm proteomic profile of marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. There are 816 proteins were successfully identified by LC-MS/MS based on 1-DE SDS-PAGE. Many of the identifications are relevant to sperm cell physiology and mtDNA functioning. The results will contribute to better understand the proteins involved in fertilization in M. galloprovincialis, as well as the other marine invertebrate species.

The Caenorhabditis elegans Female-Like State: Decoupling the Transcriptomic Effects of Aging and Sperm Status

Project description:Understanding genome and gene function in a whole organism requires us to fully comprehend the life cycle and the physiology of the organism in question. Caenorhabditis elegans XX animals are hermaphrodites that exhaust their sperm after 3 d of egg-laying. Even though C. elegans can live for many days after cessation of egg-laying, the molecular physiology of this state has not been as intensely studied as other parts of the life cycle, despite documented changes in behavior and metabolism. To study the effects of sperm depletion and aging of C. elegans during the first 6 d of adulthood, we measured the transcriptomes of first-day adult hermaphrodites and sixth-day sperm-depleted adults, and, at the same time points, mutant fog-2(lf) worms that have a feminized germline phenotype. We found that we could separate the effects of biological aging from sperm depletion. For a large subset of genes, young adult fog-2(lf) animals had the same gene expression changes as sperm-depleted sixth-day wild-type hermaphrodites, and these genes did not change expression when fog-2(lf) females reached the sixth day of adulthood. Taken together, this indicates that changing sperm status causes a change in the internal state of the worm, which we call the female-like state. Our data provide a high-quality picture of the changes that happen in global gene expression throughout the period of early aging in the worm.

MeDIP on the marine medaka sperm (Oryzias melastigma)

Project description:Hypoxia is amongst the most widespread and pressing problems in aquatic environments. For the first time, we demonstrate that fish (Oryzias melastigma) exposed to hypoxia show reproductive impairments in F2 generations despite these progenies (and their germ cells) having never been exposed to hypoxia. We further show that the observed transgenerational reproductive impairments are associated with a differential methylation pattern of specific genes in sperm of both F0 and F2.

Cryo-electron microscopy unravels microtubule inner protein networks reinforcing mammalian sperm flagella

Project description:To find and fuse with the egg, mammalian sperm must complete an arduous voyage through the female reproductive tract. This odyssey is powered by the sperm tail, a specialized motile cilium. Mammalian sperm tails are reinforced at the molecular scale with sperm-specific microtubule inner proteins (sperm-MIPs), but the identities of these sperm-MIPs are unknown. Here, we report high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of bovine sperm doublet microtubules (DMTs), allowing us to identify many sperm-MIPs. We also resolve structures of singlet MTs in the endpiece, revealing MIPs shared between singlet and doublet MTs. We demonstrate that at least two sperm-MIPs bind and stabilize MTs in vitro. Our structures shed light on ciliary diversity across cell types and provide structural frameworks for understanding molecular underpinnings of male infertility

RNA-seq transcriptome profiling of 1) C. elegans male germlines vs. oogenic germlines, and 2) male germlines, sperm, and F1 offspring germlines when offspring inherited sperm chromatin lacking H3K27me3.

Project description:Paternal contributions to epigenetic inheritance are not well understood. We report that in C. elegans sperm, the genome is packaged in nucleosomes and carries a histone-based epigenetic memory of gene expressions during spermatogenesis. In mature sperm, genes with spermatogenesis-specific expression are marked with both active and represseive histone modifications and genes with oogenesis-enriched expression are marked with active histone modifications. We showed that genes with oogenesis-enriched expression are in fact transcribed in spermatogenic germlines. We tested if sperm chromatin marking is necessary for germ cell development in offspring that inherit both sperm and oocyte chromosomes, using male parents that either can or cannot generate H3K27me3. Males homozygous for a mutation in mes-3, which encodes a member of the worm PRC2 complex, were mated with feminized mes-3/+ heterozygous worms to produce offspring that inherited sperm chromosomes lacking H3K27me3. We call these offspring M+P- or MpPm (Maternal chromosomes are + or plus for H3K27me3, Paternal chromosomes are - or minus for H3K27me3). Most of the resulting mes-3 homozygous M+P- offspring developed into sterile adults in this sensitized genetic background. In contrast, genetically identical control offspring that received appropriate H3K27me3-marked sperm chromosomes (M+P+ or MpPp) displayed low sterility. We compared genes mis-regulated in mes-3 male germlines versus control him-8 male germlines, mature sperm from those germlines, and germlines of mes-3 mutant F1 offspring that inherited sperm chromatin lacking H3K27me3 (M+P-) versus inherited sperm chromatin with H3K27me3 (M+P+), based on RNA-seq.

Sperm methylome alterations following yoga-based lifestyle intervention in patients of primary male infertility: A pilot study

Project description:A majority of the cases of primary male infertility are idiopathic with the underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology as yet unknown. Effects of the environment can alter the sperm epigenome thereby impacting male reproduc-tive health. Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial to understanding health and disease, and methylome alterations are now known to have far-reaching clinical implications. Here, we report the results from our pilot study, a first of its kind analysis of the ef-fect of the traditional practice of yoga on human sperm quality. We find marked im-provement in sperm characteristics in patients of idiopathic male infertility following asupervised21-dayyogaregimen.Furthermore,next-generationsequencing-basedmethylome analysis reveals alterations in the sperm epigenome of these patients. We find that the practice of yoga is associated with DNA methylation changes at nearly 400 genes, 147 of which were hypermethylated while 229 were hypomethyl-ated. These included promoters of several genes linked to maintenance of fertility and genomic integrity. This novel piece of work draws a direct link between positive lifestyle practices and male reproductive health.

Sperm Environmental Epigenetics and Development Study (SEEDS)

Project description:Infertility is one of the most common reproductive health disorders affecting 16% of couples in the U.S. Most concerning are the new meta-analysis data showing that sperm counts among men in developed countries have declined over 50% in the past four decades. With no sign of reversing this downward trajectory, we may not only be facing a fertility crisis, but low sperm count also has wider public health implications, including increased risks in morbidity and mortality. Given this dramatic decrease in sperm quality over a short period, genetic influences are likely not attributable, but rather, environmental factors encountered over the life-course. The objective of this pilot project is to determine the feasibility of generating metabolomic data from human seminal plasma collected as part of the ongoing SEEDS cohort.
