Transcriptome Sequencing Revealed that Knockdown of FOXL2 Affects Cell Proliferation, Cycle, and DNA Replication in Chicken pre-ovulatory Follicles Cells

ABSTRACT: Forkhead box L2 (FOXL2) is a single-exon gene encoding a forkhead transcription factor, which is mainly expressed in the ovary, eyelids and pituitary gland. FOXL2 plays an essential role in ovarian development. To reveal the effects of FOXL2 on biological process and gene expression of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs), we established stable FOXL2-knockdown GCs and then analyzed using transcriptome sequencing. It is observed that knockdown the FOXL2 affects the biological processes of cell proliferation, DNA replication, apoptosis and cell cycle. In which, the FOXL2 knockdown promoted cell proliferation and DNA replication, decreased cell apoptosis, and promoted mitosis. In addition, by comparing the transcriptome by FOXL2 knockdown, we found a serious of DEGs and their related pathways. These results indicated that, through mediating these genes and pathways, the FOXL2 might induce the cell proliferation, cycle, and DNA replication, and play a key role during ovarian development and maintenance.

Identification of protein co-localized with Foxl2 on chromatin

Project description:Foxl2 is a forkhead transcription factor essential for proper reproductive function in females. It is expressed in the somatic cell population of the gonad (granulosa cells) which forms the follicles of the ovary, the structures responsible for embedding and nurturing the oocytes during their development. FOXL2 directly regulate the aromatase that synthesizes estrogens CYP19A1, thus promoting female differentiation, as well as acting as a repressor of the male factors SOX9 and DMRT1.Expression is also found in the eyelids, pituitary gland and uterus. In the goat, frog and many fish species FOXL2 is a sex-determining gene which, when deleted, leads to female-to-male sex reversal.

Gene knockdown and overexpression of 402C>G FOXL2 in COV434 and KGN cells

Project description:Despite their distinct biology, granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) are treated the same as other ovarian tumours. Intriguingly, a recurring somatic mutation in the transcription factor Forkhead Box L2 (FOXL2) 402C>G has been found in nearly all GCTs examined. This investigation aims to identify the pathogenicity of mutant FOXL2 by studying its altered transcriptional targets. The expression of mutant FOXL2 was reduced in the GCT cell line KGN, and wildtype and mutant FOXL2 were overexpressed in the GCT cell line COV434. Comparisons were made between the transcriptomes of control cells and cells altered by FOXL2 knockdown and overexpression, to detect potential transcriptional targets of mutant FOXL2. Comparisons were made between the transcriptomes of control cells and cells altered by FOXL2 knockdown and overexpression, to detect potential transcriptional targets of mutant FOXL2.

FOXL2 interaction with different binding partners regulates the dynamics of ovarian development

Project description:The transcription factor FOXL2 is required in ovarian somatic cells for female fertility. Differential timing of Foxl2 deletion, in embryonic versus adult mouse ovary, leads to distinctive outcomes, suggesting different roles across development. Here, we comprehensively investigated FOXL2’s role through a multi-omics approach to characterize gene expression dynamics and chromatin accessibility changes, coupled with genome-wide identification of FOXL2 targets and on chromatin interacting partners in somatic cells across ovarian development. We found that FOXL2 regulates more targets postnatally, through interaction with factors regulating primordial follicle formation and steroidogenesis. Deletion of one interactor, ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7), results in impairment of somatic cell differentiation, germ cell nest breakdown, and ovarian development, leading to sterility. Our datasets constitute a comprehensive resource for exploration of the molecular mechanisms of ovarian development and causes of female infertility.

FOXL2 interaction with different binding partners regulates the dynamics of granulosa cell differentiation across ovarian development

Project description:FOXL2 is a transcription factor essential for female fertility, expressed in somatic cells of the ovary, notably granulosa cells. In the mouse, Foxl2 deletion leads to partial sex reversal postnatally. However, deletion of the gene in 8-week-old females leads to granulosa to Sertoli cell transdifferentiation. We hypothesised that different outcomes of Foxl2 deletion in embryonic versus adult ovary may depend on a different role played across ovarian development. Therefore, we characterised the dynamics of gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes in purified murine granulosa cells across key developmental stages (E14.5, 1 and 8 weeks). We then performed genome-wide identification of FOXL2 target genes and on-chromatin interacting partners by ChIP-SICAP. We found that FOXL2 regulates more genes at postnatal stages, through the interaction with factors regulating primordial follicle activation (PFA), such as NR5A2, and others regulating steroidogenesis including AR and ESR2. As a proof of principle experiment, we chose one FOXL2 interactor, Ubiquitin specific protease 7 (USP7) and showed that deletion of this gene in granulosa cells leads to a blockage of PFA, impaired ovary development and sterility. Our study constitutes a comprehensive resource for exploration of the molecular mechanisms of ovarian development and causes of female infertility.

Foxl2 functions in sex determination and histogenesis throughout mouse ovary development, analyzed by Agilent arrays

Project description:Partial loss of function of the transcription factor FOXL2 leads to premature ovarian failure in women. In animal models, Foxl2 is required for maintenance, and possibly induction, of female sex determination independently of other critical genes, i.e., Rspo1 and Wnt4. Here we report expression profiling of mouse ovaries that lack Foxl2 alone or in combination with Wnt4 or Kit/c-Kit, to identify ovarian targets of Foxl2 that, along with some testis genes, were dysregulated during embryonic development. Loss of one copy of Foxl2 revealed strong gene dosage sensitivity, with molecular anomalies that were milder but resembled ovaries lacking both Foxl2 alleles. Furthermore, a Foxl2 transgene disrupted embryonic testis differentiation and increased the levels of key female markers. The results, including a comprehensive principal component analysis of published microarray datasets 1) support the proposal of dose-dependent Foxl2 function and anti-testis action throughout ovary differentiation; and 2) identify candidate genes for a role in sex determination independent of FOXL2 (notably, the transcription factor, ZBTB7C) and in the generation of the ovarian reserve downstream of it (e.g., the cadherin-domain protein CLSTN2, or the sphingomyelin synthase, SGMS2). The gene inventory provides a framework to analyze the genetic bases of ovarian development and female fertility.

RNA seq and MeRIP-seq of COV434 cells before and after FTO knockdown

Project description:Multifunctional N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been revealed to be an important epigenetic component in various physiological and pathological processes, but its role in female ovarian aging remains unclear. Thus, we demonstrated m6A demethylase FTO downregulation and the ensuing increased m6A in granulosa cells (GCs) of human aged ovaries, while FTO-knockdown GCs showed faster aging-related phenotypes mediated. Using the m6A-RNA-sequence technique (m6A-seq), increased m6A was found in the FOS-mRNA-3'UTR, which is suggested to be an erasing target of FTO that slows the degradation of FOS-mRNA to upregulate FOS expression in GCs, eventually resulting in GC-mediated ovarian aging. FTO acts as a senescence-retarding protein via m6A, and FOS knockdown significantly alleviates the aging of FTO-knockdown GCs.

Transcription profiling of mouse ovaries lacking Foxl2, Wnt4 or Kit and wild type ovaries and testes

Project description:Comparison of Foxl2-null ovaries to wildtype ovaries, ovaries lacking Wnt4 or Kit, or testes, throughout mouse development. The goal of this study was to identify early Foxl2 target genes as well as other ovarian, anti-testis genes that may act independently of Foxl2. Experiment Overall Design: We studied 43 samples over 15 conditions to cover a wide range of wiltype and pathological states showing highly divergent alterations of cell type composition. This was meant to identify the most specific, cell context-independent targets of Foxl2.

RUNX1 safeguards the identity of the fetal ovary through an interplay with FOXL2

Project description:We discovered that expression of the transcription factor RUNX1 is enriched in the fetal ovary in various vertebrate species. In the mouse, RUNX1 marks the supporting cell lineage and becomes granulosa cell-specific as the gonads differentiate. To understand the function of Runx1 during fetal development of the ovary, we ablated Runx1 specifically in the somatic cell lineage of the fetal ovaries using Sf1-Cre . We compared ovarian differentiation in wild type, Runx1 and Foxl2 single knockouts, and Runx1/Foxl2 double knockout ovaries. Transcriptome comparisons of newborn ovaries revealed that loss of Runx1 or Foxl2 affected a similar set of genes: 41% of the genes affected by the loss of Runx1 were also changed by the loss of Foxl2. Despite these transcriptomic changes, granulosa cell identity was maintained during fetal life in both Runx1 or Foxl2 single knockout ovaries. However, the combined loss of Runx1/Foxl2 resulted in masculinization of the ovaries during fetal life. To further characterize the impacts of the combined loss of Runx1 and Foxl2 on ovarian differentiation, we compared the transcriptome of Runx1/Foxl2 DKO newborn ovaries with the transcriptomes of control, Runx1, or Foxl2 single KO ovaries.

FOXO1 mitigates the SMAD3/FOXL2C134W transcriptomic effect in a model of human adult granulosa cell tumor

Project description:Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are a rare form of stromal cell malignant cancer accounting for one in twenty cases of ovarian cancer. More than 400 tumors from aGCT patients of diverse ethnicities showed one single mutation in the Forkhead box L2 transcription factor gene FOXL2: Cys134Trp (c.402C<G). In this work, seeking more comprehensive profiling of the mutant FOXL2C134W transcriptomic activity in a model of adult Granulosa Cell Tumor (aGTC), we performed an RNA-seq analysis comparing the effect of FOXL2WT/SMAD3 and FOXL2C134W/SMAD3 overexpression in presence/absence of FOXO1 in an established human GC line (HGrC1).
