Project description:Epigenetic regulation, particularly histone post translational modification (PTM), participates in spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) differentiation. However, prior research is still limited to a single PTM. Herein, we constructed over 100 histone H3.1 targeted modification peptides, in combination with histone H3.1 modification binding protein identification, and RNA-Seq. We identified 7 differentially expressed histone H3.1 modifications. In addition, we selected H3K9me2 and H3S10ph for subsequent biotinylating peptide pull-down experiments, and identified a series of transcription factors, such as, GTF2E2 and SUPT5H, which appear to be crucial for the early SSC differentiation process.

Project description:Epigenetic regulation, particularly post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones, participates in spermatogonial stem cell (SSCs) differentiation. However, there is a lack of systemic studies of histone PTM regulation during the differentiation of SSCs due to its low number in vivo. Herein, we quantified dynamic changes of 46 different PTMs on histone H3.1 by targeted quantitative proteomics using mass spectrometry during SSCs differentiation in vitro, in combination with our RNA-seq data. We identified seven histone H3.1 modifications to be differentially regulated. In addition, we selected H3K9me2 and H3S10ph for subsequent biotinylated peptide pull-down experiments and identified 38 H3K9me2-binding proteins and 42 H3S10ph-binding proteins, which contain several transcription factors, such as GTF2E2 and SUPT5H, which appear to be crucial for epigenetic regulation of SSC differentiation.

Project description:We developed a new sequencing assay to track the de novo deposition of the histone H3 variants H3.1 and H3.3 during S phase. We use cells stably expressing H3.1-SNAP or H3.3-SNAP, and synchronize them in G1/S by double-thymidine block. The SNAP-tag enables to discriminate newly synthesized histones from preexisting ones, via a quench-chase-capture strategy. We applied this strategy to isolate new H3.1 and H3.3 after releasing cells into S phase, and probed their distribution by MNase digestion and sequencing. We could thus characterize H3.1 and H3.3 dynamics from early to mid S phase at genome-wide resolution. We further applied our method to investigate the consequences of perturbations upon deletion of the H3.3 chaperone HIRA. We used HIRA knockout and control cells, and compared H3.1 and H3.3 distribution to early replication patterns by EdU labeling and sequencing of nascent DNA.

Project description:The histone H3.1 variant is specifically inserted on chromatin during DNA replication in eukaryotes. A single amino acid variation (position 31) in the N-terminal tail of H3.1 compared to replication-independent H3.3 is conserved in plants and animals, but no function has been assigned to amino acid 31 to justify a role for H3.1 during replication. In this study, we demonstrate that the protein TONSOKU (TSK/TONSL), which participates in rescuing broken replication forks, specifically interacts with H3.1 via recognition of alanine 31 by its tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain. We show that genomic amplification in the absence of H3K27me1 in plants depends on H3.1, TSK and DNA polymerase theta (Pol θ). Overall, our study reveals similar strategies in plants and animals for regulating TSK activity and post-replicative chromatin maturation, with both clades using the H3.1 variant and different histone mono-methyltransferases (ATXR5/ATXR6 or SET8) to achieve this.

Project description:Nucleosomes package eukaryotic DNA and are composed of four different histone proteins, H3, H4, H2A and H2B. Histone H3 has two main variants, H3.1 and H3.3, which show different genomic localization patterns in animals. We profiled H3.1 and H3.3 variants in the genome of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and show that the localization of these variants shows broad similarity in plants and animals, in addition to some unique features. H3.1 was enriched in silent areas of the genome including regions containing the repressive chromatin modifications H3 lysine 27 methylation, H3 lysine 9 methylation, and DNA methylation. In contrast, H3.3 was enriched in actively transcribed genes, especially peaking at the 3’ end of genes, and correlated with histone modifications associated with gene activation such as histone H3 lysine 4 methylation, and H2B ubiquitylation, as well as by RNA Pol II occupancy. Surprisingly, both H3.1 and H3.3 were enriched on defined origins of replication, as was overall nucleosome density, suggesting a novel characteristic of plant origins. Our results are broadly consistent with the hypothesis that H3.1 acts as the canonical histone that is incorporated during DNA replication, whereas H3.3 acts as the replacement histone that can be incorporated outside of S-phase during chromatin disrupting processes like transcription.

Project description:In vitro and in vivo aging of mouse spermatogonial stem cells alters stem cell function based on quantitative spermatogonial stem cell transplantation analyses. We used microarrays to identify differential gene expression in vitro and in vivo aged spermatogonial stem cells to identify potential causes of observed phenotypic differences in aged spermatogonial stem cell function. Spermatogonial stem cells were isolated from young and serial-transplanted aged mouse donors and cultured for short and long periods. Spermatogonial stem cells were isolated from cultures and subjected to microarray analysis to identify differential gene expression.

Project description:The development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) can mainly be attributed to the narrowing of blood vessels caused by atherosclerosis and thrombosis, which induces organ damage that will result in end-organ dysfunction characterized by events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. It is also essential to consider other contributory factors to CVD, including cardiac remodelling caused by cardiomyopathies and co-morbidities with other diseases such as chronic kidney disease. Besides, there is a growing amount of evidence linking the gut microbiota to CVD through several metabolic pathways. Hence, it is of utmost importance to decipher the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with these disease states to elucidate the development and progression of CVD. A wide array of systems biology approaches incorporating multi-omics data have emerged as an invaluable tool in establishing alterations in specific cell types and identifying modifications in signalling events that promote disease development. Here, we review recent studies that apply multi-omics approaches to further understand the underlying causes of CVD and provide possible treatment strategies by identifying novel drug targets and biomarkers. We also discuss very recent advances in gut microbiota research with an emphasis on how diet and microbial composition can impact the development of CVD. Finally, we present various biological network analyses and other independent studies that have been employed for providing mechanistic explanation and developing treatment strategies for end-stage CVD, namely myocardial infarction and stroke.

Project description:Defective germline reprogramming in Miwi2- and Dnmt3l-deficient mice results in the failure to reestablish transposon silencing, meiotic arrest and progressive loss of spermatogonia. Here we sought to understand the molecular basis for this spermatogonial dysfunction. Through a combination of imaging, conditional genetics and transcriptome analysis, we demonstrate that germ cell elimination in the respective mutants arises due to defective germline reprogramming rather than a function for the respective factors within spermatogonia. In both Miwi2-/- and Dnmt3l-/- spermatogonia the intracisternal-A particle (IAP) family of endogenous retroviruses is de-repressed, but in contrast to meiotic cells DNA damage is not observed. Instead we find that unmethylated IAP promoters rewire the spermatogonial transcriptome by driving expression of neighboring host genes. In summary, defective reprogramming deregulates the spermatogonial transcriptome that may underlie spermatogonial dysfunction.
