Project description:Sperm carries information to the presumptive embryo upon fertilization in terms of epigenetic codes and transcripts along with the haploid genome. The epigenetic code includes DNA methylation and histone modifications. During spermatogenesis, the DNA of sperm undergoes overall methylation changes and this could have some role to play in fertilizing ability of the sperm. Many of the studies have shown that the altered methylation can cause sub fertility. In the present study we report the development of first comprehensive 4X180K buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) CpG island/promoter microarray for studying the global DNA methylation profile of buffalo sperm. The array has been developed by employing microarray based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) technique with bovine and buffalo DNA using bovine genome sequence as reference. The array represents 157084 features assembled from CDS, Promotor and CpG regions covering 2,967 unique genes. We also report the comparison of genome wide methylation differences in buffalo sperm from high fertile and sub fertile bulls which indicated profound discrepancies in their methylation status. A total of 96 individual genes along with another 55 genes covered under CpG islands were found differentially methylated and and were associated with different cellular functions and biological processes affecting germ cell development, spermatogenesis, capacitation and embryonic development.

Project description:The buffalo sperm surface proteins which are bound by either non-covalent (electrostatic)interactions or by a GPI-anchor were extracted and subjected to LC-MS/MS. The results revealed that proteins involved in the immune response and reproductive processes adorn the buffalo sperm surface.

Project description:5-methylcytosine is a major epigenetic modification sometimes called "the fifth nucleotide". However, our knowledge of how offspring inherit the DNA methylome from parents is limited. We generated nine single-base resolution DNA methylomes including zebrafish gametes and early embryos. The oocyte methylome is significantly hypo-methylated compared to sperm. Strikingly, the paternal DNA methylation pattern is maintained throughout early embryogenesis. The maternal DNA methylation pattern is maintained until the 16-cell stage. Then, the oocyte methylome is gradually discarded through cell division, and progressively reprogrammed to a pattern similar to that of the sperm methylome. The passive demethylation rate and the de novo methylation rate are similar in the maternal DNA. By the midblastula stage, the embryo?s methylome is virtually identical to the sperm methylome. Moreover, inheritance of the sperm methylome facilitates the epigenetic regulation of embryogenesis. Therefore, besides DNA sequences, sperm DNA methylome is also inherited in zebrafish early embryos. hMeDIP-seq is performed in sperm,2-cell,16-cell,1k-cell and a input control sample 4 new samples are added to GSE44075. RNA-seq is performed in sperm, egg,1k-cell, germring samples .hMeDIP-seq is performed in sperm,2-cell,16-cell,1k-cell and a input control sample 10 new samples are added to GSE44075. Bisulfite-seq is performed for nine samples : sperm, egg,16-cell,32-cell,64-cell,128-cell,1k-cell , Germring and testis. TAB-seq is performed for one sample , 32-cell.

Project description:Sperm carries information to the presumptive embryo upon fertilization in terms of epigenetic codes and transcripts along with the haploid genome. The epigenetic code includes DNA methylation and Histone modifications. During spermatogenesis the chromatin of sperm undergoes wide level of modifications and histone proteins are replaced by Protamine proteins. But some modified Histone forms still remain and they carry epigenetic codes essential for fertility and embryo development. Through this work we are trying to see the difference between H3K4me2 and H3K27me3 kind of histone modifications in spermatozoa of high and low fertility buffalo bulls.

Project description:In this study, Mediterranean buffalo semen was used as experimental material, and quantitative proteomics and phosphorylation modification techniques were used to analyze the proteins and phosphorylation sites of Mediterranean buffalo sperm with different motility, so as to further study the protein functions affecting sperm motility, providing a theoretical basis for understanding the regulatory network related to sperm motility and improving the sperm quality and fertilization ability of Mediterranean buffalo.
