Alterations of RNA Modification in Mouse Germ Cell-2 Spermatids Under Hypoxic Stress

ABSTRACT: Infertility is a major health problem worldwide due to its deleterious psychological and physical effects. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying its onset or occurrence is essential for the development of treatments or preventive measures. Studies have shown that RNA modifications, as novel post-transcriptional regulators, are involved in spermatogenesis, and hypoxia-induced alterations in RNA modification in testes and sperm cells may be associated with impaired permatogenesis in mice. However, the molecular mechanisms via which RNA modifications affect spermatogenesis under hypoxic stress conditions are unclear. This study evaluated the effects of alterations in RNA modifications in spermatids under hypoxic stress conditions, which might be responsible for changes in RNA stability and subsequent alterations in sncRNA expression profiles and the transcriptome. The findings of this study provide a basis for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of male infertility and could facilitate the development of preventive measures and treatment strategies for the condition

Comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome-wide m6A methylation in mouse pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids

Project description:Spermatogenesis, an efficient and complex system in male germline development, requires a series of elaborately regulated genetic events in which diploid spermatogonia differentiate into haploid spermatozoa. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is important for spermatogenesis. ALKBH5 is an m6A eraser, and knockout of ALKBH5 increases the level of total m6A methylation and causes male infertility.

Genome-wide analysis of human endometria

Project description:Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are the most common reason of uterine infertility, which is characterized by partial or complete closure of uterine cavity and endometrial progressive fibrosis. This disease is often secondary to uterine curettage or other intrauterine surgery. The clinical manifestations include hypomenorrhea even amenorrhea, infertility or recurrent spontaneous abortion. In this work, endometria samples were collected from IUA and control patients. RNA-seq was performed to identify differences in circRNAs and miRNAs expression. This study may provide further insight in the mechanisms of IUA and function as preventive, predictive and therapeutic measures.

Nut interactome in round/elongating spermatids

Project description:NUT, nuclear protein in testis is the universal fusion partner of BRD4 in the highly aggressive NUT Midline Carcinoma (NMC), but its physiological function was unknown. Here we show that Nut is exclusively expressed in post-meiotic spermatogenic cells, at the time of genome-wide histone hyperacetylation. Inactivation of Nut induces a spermatogenesis arrest at the histone-to-protamine replacement stage, leading to male infertility. Subsequent molecular investigations show that Nut sustains global histone H4 hyperacetylation in post-meiotic cells. Additionally, Nut mediates a p300/CBP-dependent gene expression program and, by enhancing acetylation of H4 at both K5 and K8 sites, provides binding sites for the first bromodomain of Brdt, which drives histone removal. Nut’s major function is therefore to use the ubiquitous HATs p300/CBP to direct a cell-type specific histone hyperacetylation. Its ectopic activity in NMC recreates a forced p300-induced histone hyperacetylation / bromodomain binding loop that normally operates in post-meiotic spermatogenic cells.

Protein phosphorylation landscape of mouse spermatids during spermiogenesis

Project description:Tadpole-shaped sperm is formed from round spermatid by spermiogenesis, a process with dramatic morphological changes in the final stage of spermatogenesis in testis. Protein phosphorylation, as one of the most important post-translational modifications, can regulate spermiogenesis, however, there is a lack of systemic analysis for phosphorylation events in this process. By large-scale phosphoproteome profiling using IMAC and TiO2 enrichment, we identified 18,980 phosphorylation sites in 4,628 phosphoproteins in mouse purified spermatids undergoing spermiogenesis. The identified phosphoproteins were significantly enriched in RNA transport, cell-cell adhesion, centrosome, microtubule and cilliogenesis. Further characterization of the kinase substrate relationship network demonstrated enrichment of phosphorylation substrates were related to the regulation of spermiogenesis. This global protein phosphorylation landscape of spermiogenesis showed wide phosphoregulation of diverse processes during spermiogenesis and could help further characterization of the process of sperm generation.

Expression profiling of mouse ing2 -/- mice with spermatogenic arrest and infertility

Project description:Expression profiling of mouse ing2 -/- testis vs WT reveals gene expression differences consistent with spermatogenic arrest and infertility. Ing2 is indispensable for male germ cell development in mice. While mice deficient for Ing2 were born and grew without apparent abnormalities, male, but not female, were infertile, consistent with the highest expression of Ing2 in testes in wild-type mice and in humans. Histological and DNA content analyses in Ing2-/- testes revealed a spermatogenesis arrest at meiotic phase and enhanced apoptosis associated with increased p53, resulting in a decline in mature spermatozoa, which became more severe in older age. HDAC1 accumulation and core histone deacetylation at pachytene stage were impaired in Ing2-/- testes, suggesting that the recruitment of HDAC1 by Ing2 plays a critical role in spermatogenesis. This study establishes Ing2 as a novel mammalian regulator of spermatocyte differentiation, which coordinates spermatogenesis stage-specific histone modifications. This study has implications in understanding human male infertility. Testis from WT and Ing2 KO mice at 2-3 months of age where analyzed for differences in gene expression.

Testicular gene expression profiles in infertile patients with AZFc deletions of the Y chromosome

Project description:In the present study we carried out testicular gene expression profiling of patients with AZFc microdeletion, idiopathic infertility and normal spermatogenesis, in order to identify up- and downregulated genes in the different conditions, and to verify the presence of specific molecular pathways leading to the spermatogenic damage in patients with AZFc deletions. All samples of patients with AZFc deletion clustered together, showing downregulation of several genes related to spermatogenesis. In this study, we analyzed testis expression profiles of 16 patients with different phenotypes, including men with AZFc deletions and men with idiopathic infertility. All pathological human testis RNAs were hybridized against normal testis reference RNA samples (obstructive azoospermia), while the three samples with normal spermatogenesis were hybridized against a control represented by an home-made RNA universal reference consisting of a commercial human purified tissue RNA pool (brain, liver, muscle and lung) (Clontech, Terra Bella, CA, USA) . These latter hybridizations were carried out in order to generate a profile of genes specifically expressed in normal testis.

The reproductive toxicant acrylamide modulates the mouse epididymal proteome to drive alterations to the sperm epigenome and dysregulate embryo development

Project description:Paternal exposure to a range of environmental and lifestyle factors elicits distinct changes to the sperm sncRNA profile; modifications that have significant post-fertilization consequences. Despite this knowledge, there remains limited mechanistic understanding of how paternal exposures effect the sperm sncRNA landscape. Here, we report the acute sensitivity of the sperm sncRNA profile to the potent reproductive toxicant, acrylamide. Further, we traced the differential accumulation of acrylamide responsive sncRNAs to coincide with sperm transit of the proximal (caput) segment of the epididymis, wherein acrylamide exposure altered the expression of several transcription factors implicated in the expression of acrylamide-sensitive sncRNAs. We also identified extracellular vesicles secreted from the caput epithelium in relaying altered sncRNA profiles to maturing spermatozoa, the implications of which manifest in the form of dysregulated gene expression during early embryonic development. These data provide a causative mechanistic link to account for how environmental insults can alter the sperm epigenome and compromise the transcriptomic profile of early embryos

MALDI-IMS combined with shotgun proteomics identify and localize new factors in male infertility

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a complex multi-step process involving intricate interactions between different cell types in the male testis. Disruption of these interactions results in infertility. Combination of shotgun tissue proteomics with MALDI imaging mass spectrometry is markedly potent in revealing topological maps of molecular processes within tissues. Here, we use a combinatorial approach on a characterized mouse model of hormone induced male infertility to uncover misregulated pathways. Comparative testicular proteome of wildtype and mice overexpressing human P450 aromatase (AROM+) with pathologically increased estrogen levels unravels gross dysregulation of spermatogenesis and emergence of pro-inflammatory pathways in AROM+ testis. In situ MS allowed us to localize misregulated proteins/peptides to defined regions within the testis. Results suggest that infertility is associated with substantial loss of proteomic heterogeneity, which define distinct stages of seminiferous tubuli in healthy animals. Importantly, considerable loss of mitochondrial factors, proteins associated with late stages of spermatogenesis and steroidogenic factors characterise AROM+ mice. Thus, the novel proteomic approach pinpoints in unprecedented ways the disruption of normal processes in testis and provides a signature for male infertility.
