Epigenetic dynamics of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine during mouse spermatogenesis

ABSTRACT: Studies on the epigenetic regulation of gene expression during germ cell development are still at the beginning stage. In the present study, we used our highly specific 5hmC-labeling and enrichment technique coupled with DNA deep-sequencing to profile the global 5hmC distribution in 8 serial stages of male germ cells during spermatogenesis, as well as in the the Sertoli cells (SE) which are the only somatic cell type inside seminiferous tubules. We analyzed the genomic distribution and dynamic changes of 5hmC during spermatogenesis. Moreover, to dissect the functional significance of 5hmC modifications for transcriptional regulation of gene expression, we also performed RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis in all of the 8 corresponding stages of male germ cells and found that 5hmC is positively correlated with gene expression. RNA-seq: Examination of the transcriptomes during mouse spermatogenesis. 5hmC-seq: Identification of 5hmC enriched genmoic regions in mouse germ cell.

Dynamics of SREBP1 binding to DNA in mouse liver

Project description:To systematically understand how the circadian clock and the nutrient-driven rhythm integrate to regulate SREBP1 activity, we evaluated genome-wide the binding of SREBP1 to its targets along the day in wild-type (WT) C57BL/6mice. The recruitment of SREBP1 to the DNA showed a highly circadian behaviour, with a maximum during the fed status. However, the temporal expression of SREBP1 targets was not always synchronized with its binding. In particular, a different phase of expression was observed for SREBP1 target genes depending on their function, suggesting the involvement of other transcription factors in their regulation. The proper temporal expression pattern of these genes was dramatically changed in Bmal1KO mice upon time-restricted feeding, in spite of the rhythmic, although slightly delayed, binding of SREBP1. Our results show that besides the nutrient-driven regulation of SREBP1 nuclear translocation, a second layer of modulation of SREBP1 transcriptional activity exists and is strongly dependent from the circadian core clock. This system allows to fine tune the expression timing of SREBP1 target genes, thus helping to temporally separate the different physiological processes in which these genes are involved. 6 samples examined, 6 SREBP1 samples, as well as 6 Polr2b and 6 input samples from GEO series GSE35788 CycliX Consortium was a contributor to this submission.

AGO4 Regulates Entry into Meiosis and Influences Silencing of Sex Chromosomes in the Male Mouse Germline

Project description:The four mammalian Argonaute family members are thought to share redundant functions in the microRNA pathway, yet only AGO2 possesses the catalytic "slicer" function required for RNA interference. Whether AGO1, AGO3, or AGO4 possess specialized functions remains unclear. Here, we Series_summary = show that AGO4 localizes to spermatocyte nuclei during meiotic prophase I, specifically at sites of asynapsis and in the transcriptionally silenced XY sub-domain, the sex body. We generated Ago4 knockout mice and show that Ago4-/- spermatogonia initiate meiosis early, resulting from premature induction of retinoic acid-response genes. During prophase I, the sex body assembles incorrectly in Ago4-/- mice, leading to disrupted meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI). This is associated with a dramatic loss of microRNAs, >20% of which arise from the X chromosome. Loss of AGO4 results in increased AGO3 in spermatocytes, indicating some degree of redundancy. Thus, AGO4 regulates meiotic entry and MSCI in mammalian germ cells, implicating small RNA pathways in these processes. mRNA transcripts were isolated and prepared using pachytene spermatocytes, pre-meiotic testes and other tissues from Ago4+/+ and Ago4-/- littermates and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq2000. small RNA transcripts were isolated and prepared using pachytene spermatocytes from adult Ago4+/+ and Ago4-/- littermates and sequenced using Illumina GAII.

DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis of normal and HBx transgenic mouse liver

Project description:A genome-wide integrated methylome and transcriptome analysis of the early stage of hepatocellular carcinoma development that induced by HBx. The HBV x (HBx) protein, which plays a critical role in the development of HCC, was shown to interact with several epigenetic factors, such as DNMT3A and HDAC1. Most HBx transgenic (TG) mice spontaneously develop HCC at about 1 year of age, providing genetic validation of the oncogenic potential of HBx even in the absence of viral integration and chronic inflammation. Therefore, it would be intriguing to study the regulatory role of HBx in the epigenome and its impact on HCC development. We performed a genome-wide analysis to examine the differences in DNA methylation patterns and RNA transcriptions between cancer and normal liver cells.

Genome-wide profiles of RNA polymerase II (Pol 2) DNA occupancy and the histone modifications H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 around the circadian cycle

Project description:To understand the transcriptional basis of circadian rhythms in mouse liver, we generated genome-wide profiles of RNA polymerase II (Pol 2) DNA occupancy and the histone modifications H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 around the circadian cycle. We found that Pol 2 occupancy at promoters and in gene bodies cycle in synchrony, suggesting that Pol 2 recruitment at promoters underlies circadian gene transcription. On average, Pol 2 occupancy precedes mRNA accumulation by about three hours. Promoters of transcribed genes have tri-methylated H3K4 residues even at their trough activity times, and the tri-methylation levels increase in phase with Pol 2 loading. In contrast, the tri-methylation of H3K36 residues lags transcription by three hours with amplitudes that are markedly shallower, indicating that this mark is less dynamic on the circadian time scale. The comparison of Pol 2 occupancy and mRNA accumulation revealed that both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms can account for diurnal mRNA profiles. Additional processed data and visualization tools are available at http://cyclix.vital-it.ch/ Contributed by members of CycliX consortium (http://cyclix.vital-it.ch/) 28 samples examinded, 7 Polr2b, 7 H3K4me3, 7 H3k36me3, 7 input samples.

Increased expression of BubR1 protects against aneuploidy in aging oocytes and extends reproductive lifespan

Project description:Chromosome aneuploidy increases in oocytes with maternal age, and is considered the leading cause for the increased incidence of infertility, miscarriage, and birth defects. Using mRNA-Sequencing of oocytes from 12 month old mouse versus 3 month young mouse, we identified a spindle assembly checkpoint gene, BubR1, whose expression was significantly decreased. We employed a mRNA microinjection based approach to increase BubR1 expression in aging oocytes. We find that increased expression of BubR1 protects against aneuploidy and chromosome misalignment in aging oocytes. After in vitro fertilization, the embryos derived from BubR1 increased expression aging oocytes exhibited chromosome stability as robust as those of the young ones. Furthermore, following embryo transfer, these embryos showed greatly improved developmental competency, with comparable levels of full-term development to those of the young ones. These results indicate that the decline in oocyte quality may be reversible and could lead to treatments that prolong female fertility. Examination of the effect of maternal aging on the mRNA expression in the mature oocytes of the female mice. Naturally ovulated mature oocytes (MII stage) were collected from 6 young (3 month) and 6 aging (12 month) female mice (3 oocytes per mice, 18 oocytes for each group).

Interleukin-23-induced transcription factor Blimp1 promotes pathogenicity of T helper 17 cells

Project description:Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine required for the pathogenicity of T helper 17 (Th17) cells but the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain unclear. We identified the transcription factor Blimp-1 (Prdm1) as a key IL-23-induced factor that drove the inflammatory function of Th17 cells. In contrast to thymic deletion of Blimp-1, which causes T cell development defects and spontaneous autoimmunity, peripheral deletion of this transcription factor resulted in reduced Th17 activation and reduced severity of autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Furthermore, genome wide occupancy and overexpression studies in Th17 cells revealed that Blimp-1 co-localized with transcription factors RORÎ³t, STAT-3 and p300 at the Il23r, Il17a/f and Csf2 cytokine loci to enhance their expression. Blimp-1 also directly bound to and repressed cytokine loci Il2 and Bcl6. Taken together, our results demonstrate that Blimp-1 is an essential transcription factor downstream of IL-23 that acts in concert with RORÎ³t to activate the Th17 inflammatory program. Genome-wide binding analysis of Blimp1 from in vitro generated T effector and regulatory cells

Super Elongation Complex (SEC) and global genomic analyses in murine embryonic stem (ES) cells and in human cells in response to activation signals.

Project description:Transcriptional regulation of developmentally controlled genes is at the heart of differentiation and organogenesis. In this study, we have performed global genomic analyses in murine embryonic stem (ES) cells and in human cells in response to activation signals. We have identified an essential role for the ELL/P-TEFbcontaining Super Elongation Complex (SEC) in the regulation of gene expression including several genes bearing paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Paused Pol II has been proposed to be associated with loci that respond rapidly to environmental stimuli. However, our studies in ES cells have also identified a requirement for SEC at genes without preloaded Pol II, which also respond dynamically to differentiation signals. Our findings suggest that SEC is a major class of active P-TEFb-containing complexes required for transcriptional activation in response to environmental cues such as differentiation signals. Examination of ELL2, AFF4, and Pol II before and after activation signals in two cell types.
