Project description:Activation of JAK-STAT3 signaling by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is required for maintaining self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). STAT3 perform cell type-specific roles in different cell type, here we revisit the role of STAT3 using mouse female germ stem cell (mFGSCs). We applied CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate Stat3 knockout FGSCs and then observed cell growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest in KO cell line. By combining genome wide ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq, we identified 5990 STAT3 binding sites and discovered serval genes specific regulated by STAT3 that were involved in stem cell proliferation and female gonad development in FGSCs. In general, we identify key roles of STAT3 for sustains self-renewal and proliferation for FGSCs in this study.

Project description:YTHDF2 displays extensive-expression patterns during oocyte maturation and its deficiency causes female infertility in mice. However, its specific mechanism of regulation remains elusive due to the absence of suitable in vitro models. FGSCs possess the capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into oocytes to support reproduction. The successful establishment of a line of FGSCs provides a platform for scientific research on female fertility and oogenesis. To understand how YTHDF2 exerts its regulatory effects on FGSCs, we conducted MeRIP-seq assay in FGSCs and aimed to identified YTHDF2 target transcripts.

Project description:Female germline stem cells (FGSCs) are adult stem cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into mature oocytes. AKT3, a member of the AKT kinase family, plays crucial roles in multiple cellular processes, such as proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. However, the mechanism by which AKT3 affects the development of FGSCs is poorly understood. We performed liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) on mouse FGSCs in which AKT3 was knocked down using a lentivirus and on control FGSCs to investigate how AKT affects the development of FGSCs. Based on the raw LC-MS data and database searches and data filtering, we identified 46,260 peptides, including 45,821 unique peptides, corresponding to 6849 identified proteins and 6697 comparable proteins. These identified proteins were functionally annotated using Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Protein Domain, Clusters of Orthologous Genes (COG)/Eukaryotic Orthologous Groups (KOG), STRING database, Reactome, WikiPathways, HallMark, and transcription factor (TF) analyses. Fisher’s exact test was used to assess the significance of functional enrichment of the differentially abundant proteins. We identified 281 differentially abundant proteins between AKT3 knockdown and control FGSCs, comprising 229 upregulated and 52 downregulated proteins. We performed clustering analysis on these differentially abundant proteins based on functional enrichment using GO, Domain, KEGG, Reactome and WikiPathways platforms. A protein–protein interaction network was constructed to demonstrate interactions between proteins. These datasets will facilitate future investigations into the mechanisms governing FGSC self-renewal and differentiation and will provide a foundation for understanding diseases related to abnormal germ cell development.

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) results in mRNA isoforms containing different 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) and/or coding sequences. How core cleavage and polyadenylation (C/P) factors regulate APA is not well understood. Using siRNA knockdown coupled with deep sequencing, we found that several C/P factors can play significant roles in 3’UTR-APA. Whereas Pcf11 and Fip1 enhance usage of proximal poly(A) sites (pAs), CFI-25/68, PABPN1, and PABPC1 promote usage of distal pAs. Strong cis element biases were found for pAs regulated by CFI or Fip1, and the distance between pAs plays an important role in APA regulation. In addition, intronic pAs are substantially regulated by splicing factors, with U1 mostly influencing C/P events in 5’ introns and U2 impacting those in efficiently spliced introns. Furthermore, PABPN1 regulates expression of transcripts with pAs near the transcription start site, a property possibly related to its role in RNA degradation. Finally, we found that groups of APA events regulated by C/P factors are also modulated in cell differentiation and development with distinct trends. Together, our results indicate that the abundance of different C/P factors and splicing factors plays diverse roles in APA, and is relevant to APA regulation in biological conditions. knockdown experiments of 23 C/P factors, 3 splicing factors and U1D in mouse C2C12 myoblast cells

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans AN1599 (PbcR) overexpression mutant, compared to the FGSC A4 wild-type strain. Overexpression of the Zn(II)2Cys6 M-bM-^@M-^Stype transcription factor, AN1599.4 (PbcR, pimaradiene biosynthetic cluster regulator), activates a secondary metabolite gene cluster in Aspergillus nidulans. Activation of the pathway in Aspergillus nidulans lead to a production of ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene. 12x135K array of two separate cultures of FGSC A4 and two separate cultures of oe:AN1599(PbcR) with three separate RNA extractions from each culture. Each 135K array measures expression level of 10,546 genes with 6 probes/transcript. In addition, the array format contains tiling probes for 36 longer transcripts. All probes are in duplicates, giving the total number of 137,562 probes per array.

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as an important mechanism of gene regulation in eukaryotes and plays important regulatory roles in human development and diseases. Despite the widespread application of Second Generation Sequencing (SGS) technology for polyadenylation site identification, matching each identified polyadenylation site within a gene to its derived isoform remains a major challenge. To achieve the isoform-resolved APA analysis, we developed a tool termed “IDP-APA” that constructs truly expressed isoforms and identifies polyadenylation sites by integrating the respective strengths of Third Generation Sequencing (TGS) long reads and SGS short reads. Compared to existing tools, IDP-APA demonstrated superior performance in both isoform reconstruction and polyadenylation site identification. Applications to human embryonic stem cells, breast cancer cells and brain tissue from a patient with Alzheimer’s disease revealed prevalent APA events and cell-/tissue-specific APA patterns, especially in an isoform-resolved way.

Project description:Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), an endogenous nucleotide essential for various physiological processes, has an unclear role and regulatory mechanisms in female germline stem cell (FGSC) development. In this study, we demonstrate that NMN significantly enhances FGSC viability and proliferation. Quantitative acetylation proteomics revealed that NMN markedly increases the acetylation of histone H4 at lysine 16 (H4K16ac). Subsequent chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) identified high mobility group box 1 (Hmgb1) as a downstream target of H4K16ac, a finding further validated by ChIP-qPCR. Knockdown of Hmgb1 reduced FGSC proliferation by disrupting cell cycle progression, inducing apoptosis, and decreasing chromatin accessibility. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) analysis showed that Hmgb1 knockdown induced A/B compartment switching, increased the number of topologically associating domains (TADs), and decreased chromatin loop formation in FGSCs. Notably, the chromatin loop at the promoter region of Fyn proto-oncogene (Fyn) disappeared following Hmgb1 knockdown. ChIP-qPCR and dual-luciferase reporter assays further confirmed the interaction between Hmgb1 and the Fyn promoter. Importantly, Fyn overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of Hmgb1 knockdown on FGSC proliferation. Proteomic analysis suggested this rescue was mediated through the phospholipase D (PLD) signaling pathway, as Fyn overexpression selectively enhanced the phosphorylation of PLD1 at threonine 147 without affecting serine 561. Furthermore, treatment with 5-fluoro-2-indolyldechlorohaloamide, a PLD inhibitor, nullified the pro-proliferative effects of Fyn overexpression. In summary, our findings reveal that NMN promotes FGSC proliferation by activating the H4K16ac-Hmgb1-Fyn-PLD signaling pathway through epigenetic remodeling. These results deepen our understanding of FGSC proliferation and highlight potential therapeutic avenues for advancing FGSC applications in reproductive medicine.
