Identification and characterization of microRNAs and Piwi-interacting RNAs in cockerels’ sperm by Solexa sequencing

ABSTRACT: There have been substantial researches focused on the roles of microRNAs (miRNA) and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNA) delivered from mammalian spermatozoa, comparatively little is known about the role of sperm-delivered miRNAs and piRNAs within cockerels’ (breeding cock) sperm. A small RNA library of cockerels’ sperm was constructed using Illumine high-throughput sequencing technology.

Sperm heterogeneity and DNMT/TET activities do not account for sperm DNA methylation changes observed in the epididymis

Project description:Following their production in the testis, spermatozoa enter the epididymis to gain their motility and fertilizing abilities. This post-testicular maturation coincides with sperm epigenetic profile changes that influence the progeny outcome. While recent studies underscored the dynamics of small non-coding RNAs in the maturing spermatozoa, little is known regarding sperm methylation changes and their impact at the post-fertilization level. To map out the sperm methylome dynamics, we purified spermatozoa by FACS from the testis and the different epididymal segments (i.e. caput, corpus and cauda) of CAG/su9-DsRed2; Acr3-EGFP transgenic mice. Reduced-Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS-Seq) performed on DNA from these respective sperm populations indicated that high methylation changes were observed between spermatozoa from the caput vs. testis with 5546 entries meeting our threshold values (q value < 0.01, methylation difference above 25 %). Most of these changes were transitory during epididymal sperm maturation according to the low number of entries identified between spermatozoa from cauda vs. testis.

Effect of cryopreservation on bull sperm proteins

Project description:In the present study, we evaluated the alteration of protein profile of spermatozoa during the different stages of cryopreservation i.e., freshly ejaculated sperm, equilibrated sperm, and cryopreserved sperm in crossbred bulls (Bos taurus * Bos indicus). It was found that the equilibration step of cryopreservation itself caused major changes in the proteome of spermatozoa. Therefore, cryopreservation protocols should be tailored in such a way that it minimize sperm proteome alterations.

Small RNAs are trafficked from the epididymis to developing mammalian sperm

Project description:RNAs present in mature mammalian sperm are delivered to the zygote at fertilization, where they have the potential to affect early development. The biogenesis of the small RNA payload of mature sperm is therefore of great interest, as it may be a target of signaling pathways linking paternal conditions to offspring phenotype. Recent studies have suggested the surprising hypothesis that the small RNA payload carried by mature sperm may include RNAs that were not synthesized during testicular spermatogenesis, but that are instead delivered to sperm during the process of post-testicular maturation in the epididymis. To further test this hypothesis, we characterized small RNA dynamics during testicular and post-testicular germ cell maturation in mice, confirming and extending prior observations that testicular germ cell populations carry extremely low levels of tRNA fragments (tRFs), which only become highly abundant only after sperm have entered the epididymis. We examined the sperm RNA repertoire in greater detail, finding that the majority of 5’ tRNA fragments carry a 2’-3’ cyclic phosphate at their 3’ end, pointing to a role for RNaseA or T-family nucleases in tRNA cleavage in the male reproductive tract. The process of small RNA delivery to sperm can be recapitulated in vitro, as caput epididymosomes deliver small RNAs including tRFs and microRNAs to mature testicular spermatozoa. Finally, to definitively identify the tissue of origin for small RNAs in sperm, we carried out tissue-specific metabolic labeling of RNAs in intact mice, finding that mature sperm carry small RNAs that were originally synthesized in the somatic cells of the epididymis. Taken together, our data demonstrates that soma-germline small RNA transfer occurs in male mammals, most likely via vesicular transport from the epididymis to maturing sperm.

Epigenetic inheritance of diet-induced and sperm-borne mitochondrial RNAs

Project description:Spermatozoa harbor a complex and environment sensitive pool of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNA)1, which influences offspring development and adult phenotypes1-7. Whether spermatozoa in the epididymis are directly susceptible to environmental cues is not fully understood8. We used two distinct paradigms of preconception acute high fat diet to dissect epididymal vs testicular contributions to the sperm sncRNA pool and offspring health. We show that epididymal spermatozoa, but not developing germ cells, are sensitive to the environment and identify mitochondrial tRNAs and their fragments (mt-tsRNA) as sperm-borne factors. In humans, mt-tsRNAs in spermatozoa correlate with BMI and paternal overweight at conception doubles offspring obesity risk and compromises metabolic health. Sperm sncRNA-seq of mice mutant for genes involved in mitochondrial function, and metabolic phenotyping of their wild-type offspring, suggest that alterations of mt-tsRNAs are downstream of mitochondrial dysfunction. Most importantly, single embryo transcriptomics of genetically hybrid two-cell embryos demonstrated sperm-to-oocyte transfer of mt-tRNAs at fertilisation and implied them in the control of early embryo transcription. Our study supports the importance of paternal health at conception for offspring metabolism, shows that mt-tRNAs are diet-induced and sperm-borne and demonstrates, for the first time in a physiological setting, father-to-offspring transfer of sperm mitochondrial RNAs at fertilization.

Genome-wide mapping of histone H3 in total sperm and HRCS

Project description:Majority of histones are replaced by protamine during spermatogenesis, but small amount of histones are retained in mammalian spermatozoa. Since nucleosomes in spermatozoa influence epigenetic inheritance, it is important how histones are distributed on sperm genome. We have found that the swim-up sperm used in many studies contains about 10% of immature sperm which do not yet complete the histone-to-protamine replacement. We have developed the novel method to purify the histone replacement-completed sperm (HRCS), and to completely solubilize nucleosomes from cross-linked HRCS without MNase digestion. Here, we analyzed H3 binding profiles in total sperm and HRCS by Chromatin IP – sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis, and DNA methylation profiles in swim-up sperm and HRCS by target bisulfite sequencing (TGSB).

Mating and sperm free seminal plasma changes gene expression in the oviductal sperm reservoirs of sows

Project description:Sperms being foreign to the female are to be promptly eliminated by the female local immune defense. However, avoiding the local immune defense sperm can be stored for lenthy period in the oviductal sperm reservoir. It is currently unknown whether oviductal sperm reservoirs changes their gene expression to tolerate the spermatozoa after mating or sperm free seminal plasma infusion. Therefore this was tested using Swedish Landrace pigs in this study using cDNA microarray. We used 12 sows seperated into three groups- either oestrus sows were inseminated with 50 ml BTS (control, n=4) or mated with boars (treatment 1, n=4) or inseminated with sperm-free seminal plasma (treatment 2, n=4). The utero-tubal junction was retrieved within 24 h of treatment by operation.
