Single-cell RNA sequencing on the testis from the rete testis-specific Sox17 conditioinal knockout (cKO) mice and the controls at P14.

ABSTRACT: In mammalian testes, a valve-like structure called Sertoli valve is located at the border region of the seminiferous tubule and the rete testis. Having identified Sox17 in the rete testis as a positive regulator of the valve formation, this study aim to elucidate the mechanism of Sox17-expressing rete testis to modulate the testicular homeostasis. Our scRNA-seq data demonstrate the altered gene expression levels of several growth factors in Sox17-depleted rate testis epithelia, and highlighted the altered proportion of Sertoli cells located around the proximal part of the testis. This study provides a comprehensive profile of the proximal part of the testis including the rete testis and Sertoli valve for the first time, and further illustrate the functional role of the Sox17+ rete tesits to orchestrate the testicular homeostasis.

Analysis of genes differentially expressed between rete testis cells and Sertoli cells of the mouse testis

Project description:The rete testis (RT) is a region of the mammalian testis which plays an important role in testicular physiology. The RT epithelium consists of cells sharing some well-known gene markers with supporting Sertoli cells (SCs). However, little is known about the differences in gene expression between these two cell populations. Here, we used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to obtain pure cultures of neonatal RT cells and SCs and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between these cell types using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Expression data from testes fragment of 7-week-old W/Wv mouse testes

Project description:In the terminal end of the seminiferous tubules adjacent to rete testis (RT), there are valve-like structures called Sertoli valve (SV) epithelia. SV epithelia are constitutively missing most spermatogenesis activity partially through high GDNF expression, leading to the SV-specific enrichment of undifferentiated spermatogonia. We used microarrays to elucidate the molecular characterization in the SV epithelia.

Non-cell Autonomous Regionalization of Sertoli Valve Epithelia in the Terminal Segment of the Seminiferous Tubules of Mouse Testes

Project description:In mammalian testes, undifferentiated spermatogonia undergo meiotic differentiation in high retinoic acid (RA) signaling states, while their undifferentiated states are maintained by fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), the major niche factors for spermatogonial stem/progenitor cells, in the basal compartment of the convoluted seminiferous tubules (STs). In the valve-like terminal end of the STs adjacent to the rete testis (RT), the Sertoli valve (SV) epithelia constitutively lack most spermatogenesis activity due in part to high GDNF expression, leading to the SV-specific enrichment of undifferentiated spermatogonia; however, the molecular and cellular characteristics of the SV epithelia are unclear. By performing a Sertoli cell ablation/replacement experiment using a mouse diphtheria toxin receptor-mediated system, we show here that the SV epithelia are non-cell autonomously specified, together with having high AKT phosphorylation, in the Sertoli cells located adjacent to the RT epithelia. RNA analyses revealed constitutively high expression of Cyp26a1, which encodes an RA-degrading enzyme, in the SV region, together with high expression of Fgf9 in the adjacent RT. Exogenous in vivo RA treatment induced meiotic differentiation of the spermatogonia located within the SV region, leading to disruption of the SV structure by the ectopic appearance of adluminal meiotic germ cells in some severely affected STs. We therefore propose that the regionalization and inactive spermatogenesis of SV epithelia are mediated in part by low RA signaling, together with high FGF9 signals in the terminal end of the STs.

Newt (Cynops pyrrhogaster) testis proteomics during FSH/PRL stimulations

Project description:Newt testis is an appropriate model to isolate germ cells at a specific stage and study the effect of various factors on specific stage of spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis is an essential process for sexual reproduction in development. It is triggered by the sequential mitotic divisions of spermatogonia, followed by their differentiation into spermatocytes. After two meiotic divisions, spermatocytes develop into spermatids, which possess half the normal complement of genetic material, and then into spermatozoa, mature male gametes in many sexually reproducing organisms. This complex process is controlled by cooperation with several hormones and testicular somatic cells, such as Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Prolactin (PRL). They are secreted by the pituitary gland and act on testicular somatic cells, mainly Sertoli cells, through the specific receptor. Sertoli cells have essential roles in the regulation of spermatogenesis. They not only represent the only cellular component of the blood–testis barrier but also produce and secrete local factors to germ cells. In this study, Primary Sertoli cells were established from Newt testis, and analyzed their proteome changes during the stimulation of FSH/PRL by 2D-DIGE (IC-Dyes).

Thyroid hormone regulated genes in the neonatal testis

Project description:An excess in thyroid hormone during rodent neonatal life causes abnormal prolifration and maturation of testicular cells, leading to reduced testis size and impairments in steroidogenesis, Sertoli cell function, spermatogenesis and fertility. The high expression of type 3 deiodinase in the neonatal testis protects this tissue from premature exposure to thyroid hormones, since this gene (Dio3) function is to degrade thyroid hormones. DIO3-deficient mice (Dio3KO) exhibit a marked reduction in Sertoli cell proliferation and testis size, abnormalities in the reproductive axis and impaired fertility (Martinez et al. 2016, Endocrinology157:1276). To identify genes that are untimely regulated by thyroid hormone in the developing testes, we have performed RNAseq in testis total RNA from wild type and DIO3KO mouse neonates.

In fetal testis, SOX9 acts on transcription and splicing of its targets genes through binding to genomic regions with conserved signatures [RNA-seq]

Project description:In mammals, male fate is under the control of the master transcriptional regulator, SOX9: in its presence, somatic precursor cells of the embryonic gonads differentiate into Sertoli cells, the main organizers of testicular differentiation. Therefore, analyzing target genes of this transcription factor allows understanding mechanisms of cellular commitment at the genomic level. With the use of ChIP-seq in murine and bovine wild-type testes combined with RNAseq from mouse testes lacking SOX9, we identified SOX9 target genes in the mammalian fetal gonad. SOX9 in murine and bovine fetal testes binds to a large set of genes conserved among mammals, including those with well-established roles in testis and ovary development. RNAseq analysis shows that testis and ovary display sex specific RNA splicing and that SOX9 mediates both target gene transcription and differential splicing. Regions bound by SOX9 are predominantly 5’ proximal or intra-genic, and display a specific genomic features that we call "Sertoli cell signatures" or SCS. The SCS is conserved among mammals and comprises multiple binding motifs for the Sertoli reprogramming factors SOX9, GATA4 and DMRT1; indeed, independent DMRT1 ChIP-seq confirms the enrichment of the SCS. Bioinformatic analysis of SCSs regions predicts novel regulatory mechanisms prompting functional validation. For example, we detected SCS in target genes of the nuclear factor TRIM28 and we show experimentally that SOX9 and TRIM28 proteins interact in fetal testis.

The Dynamic Transcriptional Cell Atlas of Testis Development During Human Puberty

Project description:The human testis undergoes dramatic developmental and structural changes during puberty, including proliferation and maturation of niche/somatic cells, and the onset of spermatogenesis. Here, we profiled and analyzed single-cell transcriptomes of ~10,000 testicular cells from four boys spanning puberty, and compared to infants and adults. During puberty, undifferentiated spermatogonia first expand and then differentiate, prior to gametogenesis. Notably, we identify a common pre-pubertal progenitor for Leydig and myoid cells, and reveal candidate factors/pathways for pubertal differentiation. Furthermore, pre-pubertal Sertoli cells form two states that differ in mitochondrial/metabolic transcription, which converge to a single mature population during puberty. Roles for testosterone in Sertoli cell maturation, antimicrobial peptide secretion and spermatogonial differentiation are revealed through analyses of testosterone-suppressed transgender female testis and via in vitro seminiferous tubule culturing. Overall, our transcriptional atlas of the developing human testis provides major insights into developmental changes and key factors/pathways that accompany male puberty.

Transcription profiling of testis from Sertoli cell-selective androgen receptor knockout mice and wild type mice to unravel the molecular mechanisms mediating the effects of androgens on spermatogenesis

Project description:To unravel the molecular mechanisms mediating the effects of androgens on spermatogenesis, testicular gene expression was compared in mice with a Sertoli cell-selective androgen receptor knockout (SCARKO) and littermate controls on postnatal d 10. At this age testicular cell composition is still comparable in SCARKOs and controls. Microarray analysis identified 692 genes with significant differences in expression. A more than 2-fold up- or downregulation by androgen action in Sertoli cells was observed for 28 and 6 genes respectively. The biological relevance of the ""strongly"" upregulated genes was supported by the finding that several of them were previously described to be androgen-regulated or essential for spermatogenesis. Serine protease inhibitors were overrepresented in the same subgroup suggesting a role for androgens in cell junction dynamics and tissue restructuring events during spermatogenesis. A time course experiment (d8-d20), followed by cluster analysis allowed the identification of typical expression patterns of differentially expressed testicular genes during initiation of spermatogenesis. Three genes with a pattern closely resembling that of Pem, a prototypal androgen-regulated gene in Sertoli cells, were selected for confirmation by RT-PCR and further analysis. The data confirm that the SCARKO model allows identification of novel androgen-regulated genes in the testis. This particular series represents all data from d 10. The additional expression data from the time course (d8-d20) is represented by series GSE2259 (Testicular gene expression in SCARKO mice during prepuberty).
