Gene expression profiles of Lhcgr-deficient testes

ABSTRACT: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) provide foundation for spermatogenesis by undergoing continuous self-renewal division. Previous studies have reported conflicting results on the role of the pituitary gland activity in SSC self-renewal. In this study, we analyzed the role of hormonal regulation of SSCs using Lhcgr (luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor) knockout mice. Analysis of gene expression profiles showed that testes of Lhcgr-deficient mice exhibit significantly enhanced Wnt5a expression in Sertoli cells. Lhcgr KO and control WT mice were treated with busulfan in order to eliminate germ cells. The total RNA samples from their testes were subjected to microarray analysis to compare their gene expression profiles.

Lovastatin Promotes the Self-renewal of Murine and Primate Spermatogonial Stem Cells

Project description:The spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) niche is critical for SSC maintenance and the subsequent spermatogenesis. Numerous reproductive hazards impair the SSC niche, thereby result in aberrant SSC self-renewal and male infertility. However, promising agents targeting the impaired SSC niche to promote SSC self-renewal are still limited. Here, we screen out and assess the effects of Lovastatin on the self-renewal of mouse spermatogonial stem cells (mSSCs). Mechanistically, Lovastatin promotes the self-renewal of mSSCs and inhibits its inflammation and apoptosis through the regulation of isoprenoid intermediates. Likewise, other statins exhibit similar effects on SSC self-renewal. Remarkably, the treatment by Lovastatin could promote the self-renewal of mSSCs in the male gonadotoxicity model generated by busulfan injection. Noteworthy, we demonstrate that Lovastatin could significantly enhance the self-renewal of in vitro cultured primate SSCs. Collectively, our findings uncover that lovastatin could promote the self-renewal of both murine and primate SSCs and have implications for the treatment of certain male infertility using small compounds.

Gene expression profiles of induced multipotent germline stem cells and other pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have pluripotent potential. However, frequency of pluripotent cell derivation is low and the mechanism of culture-induced reprogramming remains unknown. Here we report that epigenetic instability of germline stem (GS) cells, cultured SSCs, induces pluripotent cell derivation. GS cells undergo DNA demethylation in H19 differentially methylated region under low-density culture. When H19 demethylation was induced by Dnmt1 depletion, they converted into embryonic stem (ES)-like cells. Dnmt1 depletion downregulated Dmrt1 expression, whose depletion also induced pluripotency. Functional screening of Dmrt1 target gene revealed that Dmrt1 depletion upregulates Sox2, the key molecule responsible for generating induced pluripotent stem cells. Although Sox2 transfection upregulated Oct4 and produced pluripotent cells, this conversion was inhibited by Oct1 overexpression, suggesting that the balance of Oct proteins maintains SSC identity. These results suggest that culture-induced reprogramming is caused by unstable DNA methylation, and that Dmrt1-Sox2 cascade is critical for regulating pluripotency in SSCs. Pluripotent stem-like cells were induced from GS cells by down-regulation of Dnmt/Dmrt, or up-regulation of Sox2/Oct4 in combination with p53 knock-down and their total RNA samples were subjected to microarray analysis to compare their gene expression profile with other pluripotent stem cells such as ES cells or iPS cells.

Splicing factor SRSF1 is essential for homing of precursor spermatogonial stem cells in mice

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) provide a continuous spermatogenesis and male fertility. However, the underlying mechanisms of alternative splicing (AS) in mouse SSCs are still largely unclear. We demonstrated that SRSF1 is essential for gene expression and splicing in mouse SSCs. Specific deletion of Srsf1 in mouse germ cells impairs self-renewal and homing of SSCs leading to male infertility. Whole-mount staining data showed the absence of germ cells in the testes of adult cKO mice, which indicates severe non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) in cKO mice. Expression of SSC-related genes (Gfra1, Pou5f1, Plzf, Dnd1, Stra8, and Taf4b) was significantly reduced in the testes of conditional knockout (cKO) mice. CLIP-seq data found that SSC-related genes (Plzf, Id4, Setdb1, Stra8, Tial1, Bcas2, Ddx5, Srsf10, Uhrf1, and Bud31) were bound by SRSF1 in the mouse testes. Moreover, multi-omics analysis suggests that SRSF1 directly binds and regulates the expression of Tial1 via AS to implement SSCs self-renewal and differentiation. Collectively, our data reveal the critical role of an SRSF1-mediated AS in SSCs self-renewal and differentiation, which may provide a framework to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the post-transcriptional network underlying SSCs.

Induced expression of PD-L1 in spermatogonial stem cells by self-renewal division allows allogeneic offspring production [Sequencing]

Project description:Testis immune privilege is thought to be mediated by somatic cells. However, it is not strong enough to protect allogeneic spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) transplanted into the seminiferous tubules. Here we report successful production of allogeneic offspring by inducing PD-L1 in SSCs. Activation of self-renewal division induced PD-L1 and B7-H3 expression in cultured SSCs, which produced sperm after allogeneic transplantation. While B7-H3 depletion did not influence colonization, PD-L1 depletion prevented donor-derived spermatogenesis. PD-L1 expression was induced by BCL6B via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, suggesting that self-renewal stimulation confers immune privilege by ROS. In contrast, reduced ROS or Mapk14 deficiency downregulated PD-L1 expression. Allogeneic offspring were produced by SSC transplantation into congenitally infertile mice and busulfan-treated wild-type mice. Therefore, SSCs can escape rejection when their self-renewal division is stimulated.

A regulatory role for CHD4 in maintenance of the spermatogonial stem cell pool

Project description:Maintenance and self-renewal of the spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) population is the cornerstone of male fertility. In this manuscript we have identified a key role for the nucleosome remodelling protein Chromodomain Helicase DNA binding protein 4 (CHD4) in regulating SSC function. Gene expression analyses revealed that CHD4 expression is largely restricted to spermatogonia in the mouse testis, and is particularly enriched in SSCs. Using spermatogonial transplantation techniques and RNAi mediated knockdown it was established that loss of Chd4 expression significantly impairs SSC regenerative capacity, resulting in a ~50% reduction in colonisation of recipient testes. A single cell RNA-seq comparison depicted reduced expression of ‘self-renewal’ genes such as Gfra1 and Pten following Chd4 knockdown, along with increased expression of signature progenitor genes, Neurog3 and Dazl. Co-immunoprecipitation analyses demonstrated that CHD4 regulates gene expression in spermatogonia not only though its traditional association with the remodelling complex NuRD, but also via interaction with the GDNF-responsive transcription factor SALL4. Cumulatively, the results of this study depict a previously unappreciated fundamental role for CHD4 in controlling fate decisions in the spermatogonial pool.

Genomic profiling of human spermatogonial stem cells [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:To better understand human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), we profiled their transciptome and epigenome, which revealed the mechanism how human SSCs regulates their self-renewal versus differentiation dermination, as well as how latent pluripotency is established in human SSCs. Remarkly, we discovered signaling pathways (e.g. LIF, BMP, WNT) that differentially regulated self-renewal vesus differentiation in SSCs. We also discovered that SSCs repress core pluripotent factors (Sox2, Pou5f1 and Nanog) yet activate ancillary factors (e.g. Klf4, Mbd3, Tcf3, Sall4) transcriptionally and epigenetically.
