The transcriptome-wide N6-methyladenosine (m6A) map profiling reveals the regulatory role of m6A in the yak ovary

ABSTRACT: The yak estrus is a seasonal phenomenon, probably involving the epigenetic regulation of the synthesis and secretion of sex hormones as well as the growth and development of follicles. In this study, we collected the yak ovarian tissues at the three different states of anestrus, estrus, and pregnancy, and obtained the full transcriptome m6A map in yak by MeRIP-seq. The RT-qPCR showed that the expression of METTL3, METTL14, FTO, YTHDC1 were significantly different across different periods in the ovaries. Next, we identified 20174, 19747 and 13523 m6A peaks in the three ovarian samples of YO-A, YO-F and YO-P using the methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq). The m6A peaks are highly enriched in the coding sequence (CDS) region and 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) as well as the conserved sequence of “RRACH.” Functional analysis revealed the involvement of m6A in many physiological activities of the yak’s ovary during estrus and pregnancy. The association analysis found that some genes such as BNC1, HOMER1, BMP15, BMP6, GPX3, and WNT11 were related to ovarian functions. The comparison of the distribution patterns of methylation peaks in the ovarian tissues across different periods further explored the m6A markers related to the regulation of ovarian ovulation and follicular development in the yak ovary. This comprehensive map provides a solid foundation for revealing the potential function of the mRNA m6A modification in the yak ovary.

Transcriptome studies reveal the regulation of m6A in testis development and spermatogenesis in yak

Project description:Studying spermatogenesis is the key to understanding the development mechanism of the yak reproductive system. Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification has been reported to regulate spermatogenesis and reproductive function in mammals, the molecular mechanism of m6A in yak testis development and spermatogenesis remains largely unknown. Therefore, we collected testicular tissue from junile and adult yaks, and found that the m6A level significantly increased after sexual maturity in yak. In MeRIP-seq, 1,702 hypermethylated peaks and 724 hypomethylated peaks were identified. The hypermethylated differentially methylated RNAs (DMRs) (CIB2, AK1, FOXJ2, PKDREJ, SLC9A3, and TOPAZ1) mainly regulated spermatogenesis, while the hypomethylated DMRs (BCL6, USP25, CD96, EPHA2, and TAF12) mainly participated in immune response. Functional enrichment analysis showed that DMRs were significantly enriched in the adherens junction, gap junction, and Wnt, PI3K, and mTOR signaling pathways, regulating cell development, spermatogenesis, and testicular endocrine function. The functional analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that they were involved in the biological processes of mitosis, meiosis, and flagellated sperm motility during sexual maturity of yak testis. We also screened the key regulatory factors of testis development and spermatogenesis by combined analysis, which included BRCA1, CREBBP, STAT3, and SMAD4. This study has important research value and practical guiding significance for yak genetic improvement, particularly in understanding the molecular mechanism and evolutionary dynamics of the progression of testis developmental stages in yaks.

Characterization of m6A in domesticated yak testis before and after sexual maturity

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common internal modification of eukaryotic mRNA, and its potential regulatory role has recently been identified in mammals, plants, and yeast. However, little is known about the role of m6A methylation in mammalian sexual maturation. In this study, the testicular tissue of yaks before and after sexual maturation was taken as the research object, and the m6A map of testicular tissue of yaks before and after sexual maturation was obtained through the preliminary experiment and MERIP-seq. The results showed that only spermatogonial cells and some primary spermatocytes could be seen in the testicular tissue of yak before sexual maturation, while spermatogenic cells at different stages could be seen in the testicular tissue after sexual maturation. It was found that the methylation level was higher after sexual maturation than before by detecting the expression of methylation related enzymes and the overall methylation level of testis. There were 1438 differential methylation peaks before and after sexual maturation, of which 1226 were significantly up-regulated and 212 were significantly down-regulated after sexual maturation. Through annotation, it was found that the differential methylation peaks were mainly concentrated in the exon region, followed by 3'UTR, and finally 5'UTR. KEGG pathway analysis showed that Homologous recombination, Notch signaling pathway, Growth hormone synthesis and other signaling pathways may be related to testicular development and maturation. m6A modification was positively correlated with mRNA abundance, suggesting that m6A plays a regulatory role in mammalian sexual maturation. In this study, we reported for the first time the m6A transcriptional map of yak testis, providing a starting point for revealing the function of m6A that may affect the development of yak testis.

Transcriptome profiling of wildtype C57BL/6 female mice during estrous cycle(mainly in estrus and diestrus).

Project description:Background:The morphology of vaginal secretions during estrus and diestrus is characteristic and easy to distinguish. There are also significant differences in hormone levels between the two periods in physiological condition. However, the gene changes during estrus cycle especially the two periods are still unclear. Therefore, this study plans to find out the pathway changes related to the estrus cycle of female mice, the expression of various proteins, predict the genes sensitive to hormone changes in vivo through gene analysis of 15 tissues in the two periods and construct of differential gene expression library. Methods:The wildtype healthy female mice in estrus were compared with those in diestrus. The transcriptome changes between the two periods were probed by using high-throughput RNA-seq techniques. Results:A comprehensive mouse transcriptome map in estrus or diestrus across fifteen tissues including aorta, vein, brown adipose tissue, white adipose tissue, heart, kidney, liver, skeletal muscle, stomach, duodenum, cerebrum, hypothalamus, ovary, womb and spleen were provided. Conclusions:This dataset could serve as a baseline resource for investigating the potential gene changes sensitive to the estrus cycle across different tissues and provide the information for screening the key functional genes or molecular markers of estrus cycle.

Analysis of m6A methylome in ABRO1 Knockout heart

Project description:To find the m6A methylation targets of ABRO1, we performed m6A methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) in ABRO1 Knockout or Wild type (WT) mice heart. The analysis of the distribution of m6A peak density in mRNA transcripts showed that m6A peaks are mainly found in coding sequences (CDS) and a considerable amount of m6A peaks enriched around start codon and stop codon regions in mRNA transcripts from ABRO1 KO and WT hearts. Among the total RNA transcripts with m6A sites, more than half (59.4%) of mRNA transcripts contain ≤ 2 m6A peaks, 27.4% mRNA transcripts comprise 3 to 5 m6A peaks and more than 5 m6A peaks exist in 13.2% of mRNA transcripts. MeRIP-seq analysis results from ABRO1 deleted hearts showed that a total of 3444 m6A peaks were upregulated and 4631 m6A were downregulated compared to WT hearts.

Transcriptome-wide analysis of RNA N6-methyladenosine in Adriamycin-resistant acute myeloid leukemia cells

Project description:N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant post-transcriptional modification in eukaryotes, the imbalance of which is reported to be associated with various pathological processes, including drug resistance. In this study, we analyzed the methylated RNA immunoprecipitation combined with next-generation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) data of AML cell line HL60 and its adriamycin-resistant cell line HL60/ADR. We found a total of 40550 peaks, representing 15640 genes in HL60, and a total of 38834 peaks, representing 15285 genes in HL60/ADR. A total of 4437 differentially methylated m6A peaks within 3461 genes have been found between HL60 and HL60/ADR. Among them, 3587 differentially m6A peaks within 2790 genes were hyper-methylated, and 850 m6A peaks within 671 genes were hypo-methylated. KEGG pathway analysis showed that pathways were enriched in tumor and drug-resistant related signaling pathway. Results of MeRIP-seq showed that fold enrichment of global m6A peaks was higher in HL60/ADR compared to HL60. This study provides a framework for the application of comprehensive mRNA m6A profiling towards acute myeloid leukemia cell line (HL60) and its adriamycin-resistant acute myeloid leukemia cell line (HL60/ADR).

Characterization of N6-methyladenosine in the testis tissue of cattle-yak

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prominent mRNA modification in eukaryotes, and its potential regulatory role has recently been identified in mammals, plants, and yeast. However, how m6A methylation regulates spermatogenesis remains unknown. In this study, cattle-yak testis tissue was used as the experimental material, and the m6A map was generated through preliminary experiments and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing. Only spermatogonia and Sertoli cells were observed in cattle-yak testis tissue. Experiments examining the expression of methylation-related enzymes and the overall methylation level showed that the methylation level in the testis of the cattle-yak was slightly lower than that of the sexually mature yak, but significantly higher than that of the pre-sexually mature yak. Annotation analysis indicated that differentially methylated peaks were most frequently concentrated in exonic regions, followed by 3'UTR and finally 5'UTR regions. Through enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated corresponding genes, GO analysis of T-vs-Y group mainly involved spermatogenesis, including cytoskeleton, actin binding, etc. KEGG analysis showed that the differential genes were mainly enriched in actin cytoskeleton regulation and MAPK signaling pathway. GO analysis of the T-vs-M group mainly involved protein ubiquitination, ubiquitin ligase complexes, ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolism and endocytosis. KEGG analysis mainly involved apoptosis and Fanconi anemia pathways. This study will lay the foundation for elucidating the molecular mechanism of m6A in male sterility of cattle-yak.

Analysis of m6A methylome in CHAPIR overexpressed heart [MeRIP]

Project description:To elucidate the molecular mechanism by which cardiac-hypertrophy-associated piRNA (CHAPIR) regulates m6A modification, we performed m6A methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) in control or CHAPIR-overexpressing mice heart. The sequential analysis of m6A peaks showed that RGACH motif was highly enriched within m6A sites in heart and that is aligning with the classical consensus sequence of mammals ‘RGACH’, where ‘R’ indicates purine (A/G) and ‘H’ indicates non-guanine base (A/C/U). In CHAPIR treated heart, m6A mostly occurred in mRNAs (89.5%) and only about 10.5% were identified in non-coding RNAs. The majority of mRNAs contain one or two m6A peaks (89.2%) and 10.8% mRNA contain >2 m6A peaks . M6A peaks were predominantly distributed in coding sequences (CDSs), 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) and near stop codon.
