Developmental and sexual dimorphic atlas of the prenatal mouse external genitalia at the single cell level

ABSTRACT: Before the onset of sexual differentiation, male and female external genitalia are morphologically indistinguishable. After the onset of sex-specific production of sex steroids by the gonads, the male and female external genitalia differentiate into either a penis or clitoris. Here we use single cell sequencing to investigate the similarities and differences of cell populations in the external genitalia during the critical sexual differentiation window in the mouse embryo. We found the male and female genitalia are largely similar in cell composition and gene expression at the bipotential stage of development. As sexual differentiation ensues, sex steroid-dependent and -independent differences in cell populations arise, leading to dimorphic establishment of the external genitalia.

Project description:The aim of this study was to study the gene expression profile in developing female and male gonads of Xenopus laevis at four stages: at the Nieuwkoop-Faber stage 50 (genital ridge), at NF53 (sex-determining period), NF56 (the onset of sexual differentiation), NF62 (gonads sexually differentiated).

Fibroblasts from genital and extragenital regions of 46,XY individuals

Project description:This dataset contains fibroblasts from different genital and extragenital regions, mostly from 46,XY individuals. Due to proven androgen receptor gene mutations, several individuals have varying degrees of undervirilization of the external genitalia ranging from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) to partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS). CAIS is a completely female person despite a 46,XY karyotype. AIS-3 individuals have ambigous external genitalia. AIS-4 means predominantly female (clitoral enlargement), AIS-2 means predominantly male (hypospadias). It is important for this experiment set, that it contains data from 3 differet independent datasets that are not directly cmparable with each other. This is because of different reference RNAs and different glass slides. The particular normalization procedure is described in the paper accompanying this dataset. Only then, all arrays are allowed to be clustered together. Dataset 2 and 3 have "DS-2" and "DS-3" in their experiment names. All other experiments belong to dataset 1. A cell type comparison design experiment design type compares cells of different type for example different cell lines. Disease State: normal male, normal female or ambiguous external genitalia according to grading scheme by Sinnecker et al. Cell Line: fibroblast cell lines from different regions of the genital skin, some from extragenital skin Sex/Mating type: 46,XY or 46,XX karyotype Computed

Molecular sexual identity of chicken in vitro derived pre-gonadal primordial germ cells

Project description:In poultry, in vitro derived primordial germ cells (PGCs) represent an important tool for management of genetic resources. However, several studies have highlighted sexual differences exhibited by PGCs through in vitro steps, which may compromise their reproductive capacities. To understand this phenomenon, we compared the proteome of pregonadal chicken male (ZZ) and female (ZW) PGCs expanded in vitro by quantitative proteomic analysis using a GeLC-MS/MS strategy. The proteins found to be differentially abundant in chicken male and female PGCs indicated their early sexual identity. Many of the proteins up-accumulated in male PGCs were encoded by genes strongly enriched in the sexual chromosome Z. This suggests that the known lack of dosage compensation of the transcription of Z-linked genes between sexes persists at protein level in PGCs, and that this may be a key factor of their autonomous sex differentiation. Male and female PGCs up-accumulated protein sets were associated with differential biological processes, and contained proteins biologically relevant for male and female germ cell development respectively. This study presents first evidence on early predetermined sex specific cell fate of chicken PGCs that will help to understand their sexual physiological specificities and enable more precise sex-specific adaptation of in vitro culture conditions.

Expression data from Drosophila female or male genital discs at different time points during morphogenesis

Project description:The Drosophila genitalia develop from an imaginal disc that is patterned during the larval period and undergoes morphogenesis during the pupal period. Although the genetic hierarchy that controls sexual identity in Drosophila is well characterized, the downstream genes that effect sexually dimorphic development of the genitalia are largely unknown. We used microarrays to profile gene expression in female and male genital imaginal discs at three time points during development: late third-instar larvae (L3), pupae approximately 6 hours after puparium formation (P6) and pupae approximately 20 hours after puparium formation (P20). We identified genes that are sex-differentially expressed in the developing genital disc, including three genes encoding transcription factors that are expressed in the genital disc of one sex but not the other. Through genetic analysis, we showed how the master regulator of sexual identity, Doublesex, limits expression of each of these three genes to one sex. We also determined which genital structures fail to develop properly in the absence of each of the three genes.

Tgfbr1 controls developmental plasticity between the hindlimb and external genitalia by remodeling their regulatory landscape

Project description:The hindlimb and external genitalia of present-day tetrapods are thought to derive from an ancestral common primordium that evolved to generate a wide diversity of structures adapted for efficient locomotion and mating in the ecological niche conquered by the species. We show that despite long evolutionary distance from the ancestral condition, the early primordium of the mouse external genitalia preserved the capacity to take hindlimb fates. In the absence of Tgfbr1, the pericloacal mesoderm generates an extra pair of hindlimbs at the expense of the external genitalia. It has been shown that the hindlimb and the genital primordia share many of their key regulatory factors. Tgfbr1 controls the response to those factors acting in a pioneer-like mode to modulate the accessibility status of regulatory elements that control the gene regulatory networks leading to the formation of genital or hindlimb structures. Our work uncovers a remarkable tissue plasticity with potential implications in the evolution of the hindlimb/genital area of tetrapods, and identifies a novel mechanism for Tgfbr1 activity that might also contribute to the control of other physiological or pathological processes.

miRNA profiling in male and female chicken embryonic gonads during sexual differentiation

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a highly conserved class of small RNAs which function in a sequence-specific manner to post-transcriptionally regulate expression of target genes. Tissue-specific miRNA expression studies have discovered numerous functions for miRNAs in various aspects of embryonic development, but a role for miRNAs in gonadal development and sex differentiation has not yet been reported. Using the chicken embryo as a vertebrate model, differential miRNA expression between male and female embryonic gonads, was analysed at three developmental stages (embryonic days (E) 5.5, E6.5 and E9.5), using custom-designed 4x2K CombiMatrix miRNA microarray. The aims of this study were to: 1-identify miRNAs differentialy expressed by sex; 2-identify sex-specific miRNAs; 3-analyse global changes in miRNA up-regulation in male versus female gonads before, during and after the histological onset of sexual differentiation. This study provides a basis for establishing whetehr miRNAs are involved in either initiating or regulating vertebrate gonadal sex differentiation. Keywords: miRNA, sex comparison, developmental stage comparison.
