Single-cell transcriptomics reveals temporal dynamics of critical regulators of germ cell fate during mouse sex determination

Project description:Despite the importance of germ cell differentiation for sexual reproduction, gene networks underlying their fate remain unclear. Here, we describe a comprehensive characterization of gene expression dynamics during sex determination based on single-cell RNA sequencing on 14,750 XX and XY mouse germ cells between embryonic days 10.5 and 16.5. By computational gene regulation inference analysis, we identified sex-specific, sequential waves of master regulator genes during germ cells differentiation and unveiled that the meiotic initiator Stra8 is regulated by positive and negative master regulators acting in an antagonistic fashion. Consistent with the importance of the somatic environment, we found that rare adrenal germ cells exhibit delayed meiosis and display altered expression of master genes controlling the female and male genetic programs. Our study provides a molecular roadmap of germ cell sex determination at single-cell resolution will serve as a valuable resource for future studies of gonad development, function and disease.

Prediction of sex-determination mechanisms in avian primordial germ cells using RNA-seq analysis

Project description:Avian sex is determined by various factors, such as the dosage of DMRT1 and cell-autonomous mechanisms. While the sex-determination mechanism in gonads is well analyzed, the mechanism in germ cells remains unclear. In this study, we explored the gene expression profiles of male and female primordial germ cells (PGCs) during embryogenesis in chickens to predict the mechanism of sex-determination. Male and female PGCs were isolated from blood and gonads with a purity > 96% using flow cytometry and analyzed using RNA-seq. Prior to settlement in the gonads, female circulating PGCs (cPGCs) obtained from blood displayed sex-biased expression. Gonadal PGCs (gPGCs) also displayed sex-biased expression, and the number of female-biased genes detected was higher than male-biased genes. The female-biased genes in gPGCs were enriched in some metabolic processes. To reveal the mechanisms underlying the transcriptional regulation of female-biased genes in gPGCs, we performed stimulation tests. Stimulation with retinoic acid against cultured gPGCs derived from male embryos resulted in the upregulation of several female-biased genes. Overall, our results suggest that sex determination of avian PGCs possess aspects of both cell-autonomous and somatic cell regulation. Moreover, it appears that sex determination occurs earlier in females than in males.

Definition of germ cell lineage alternative splicing programs reveals a critical role for Quaking in specifying cardiac cell fate

Project description:Alternative splicing is critical for development. However, its role in the specification of the three embryonic germ layers is poorly understood. By performing RNA-Seq on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and derived endoderm, cardiac mesoderm, and ectoderm cell lineages, we detect distinct alternative splicing programs associated with each lineage. The most prominent splicing program differences are observed between definitive endoderm and cardiac mesoderm. Integrative multi-omics analyses link each program with lineage-specific RNA binding protein regulators, and further suggest a widespread role for Quaking (QKI) in the specification of cardiac mesoderm. Remarkably, knockout of QKI disrupts the cardiac mesoderm-associated alternative splicing program and formation of myocytes. These changes likely arise in part through reduced expression of BIN1 splice variants linked to cardiac development. Collectively, our results thus uncover alternative splicing programs associated with the three germ lineages and demonstrate an important role for QKI in the formation of cardiac mesoderm.

Gonadal supporting cells acquire sex-specific regulatory elements during mammalian sex determination

Project description:Purpose: In this study we employed unbiased, genome-wide techniques to identify regulatory elements during murine sex determination. Methods: We performed ATAC-seq on 60K FACS-purified XX and XY gonadal cells before and after sex determination to map nucleosome depleted regions (NDRs) indicative of regulatory elements. To determine whether these are active enhancers, we performed ChIP-seq for H3K27ac, a histone modification that marks active enhancers in both sexes and time points. Transient transgenics was performed on select enhancers to determine whether they are functional in gonads during the sex determination stage. Results: We have produced a genome wide map of potential regulatory elements and active enhancers during the process of murine sex determination. Furthermore, we validated the power of our dataset by identifying a novel enhancer downstream of Bmp2, a female-specific gene. Conclusions: This work supplies a powerful resource for identifying chromatin regulatory elements active during mammalian sex determination.
