Global analysis of X chromosome dosage compensation

ABSTRACT: We have conducted a global analysis of somatic dosage compensation and also asked if germ cell dosage compensate by microarray analysis of gene expression in wild-type tissues. To obviate the confounding effects of scatter and especially the skewed genomic distributions of genes with sex-biased expression in both the soma and germline [there are fewer X chromosome genes with male-biased expression], we used mutations that transform sexual identity. In the soma we used gain-of-function transformer to turn X;AA flies into somatic females with tumorous germlines. The gonadectomized somas of these X;AA female flies were compared to similarly prepared XX;AA females. The X;AA ovarian tumors, which are possibly the result of germline sex transformations, were compared to the similar XX;AA ovarian tumors generated with loss-of-function alleles of ovarian tumor and Sex-lethal. We used alleles of transformer-2 and doublesex to transform XX;AA flies into somatic males with atrophic germlines. Keywords: other

Nucleoporin107 mediates female sexual differentiation via Dsx

Project description:We recently identified a missense mutation in Nucleoporin107 (Nup107; D447N) underlying XX-ovarian-dysgenesis (XX-OD), a disorder characterized by underdeveloped and dysfunctional ovaries. Specific knockdown of Nup107 in the somatic gonadal cells and moreover, modelling of the human mutation in Drosophila result in ovarian-dysgenesis-like phenotypes in female flies. The aberrant phenotypes in larval and adult ovaries compromised for Nup107 are associated with hyperactivation of BMP signalling. Transcriptomic analysis identified the somatic sex-determination gene Doublesex (dsx) and the extracellular metalloprotease AdamTS-A as targets of Nup107. Either loss or gain of Dsx in the gonadal soma is sufficient to respectively mimic or rescue the phenotypes induced by Nup107 loss. Furthermore, adamTS-A is transcriptionally regulated by Dsx, and its knockdown in the somatic gonad hyperactivates BMP signaling and to a large extent recapitulates loss of Nup107 phenotypes. Thus, Dsx acts downstream of Nup107 to impact female germline stem cells via sex-specific modulation of the BMP pathway.

Tra_Targets_Drosophila_Midgut_StemCells

Project description:Identification of midgut genes with sex-biased transcription and/or splicing under cell-autonomous control of transformer in adult intestinal stem cells Sex differences in physiology are commonly attributed to developmental and/or hormonal factors, but there is increasing realisation that cell-intrinsic mechanisms play important and persistent roles. Here we use the Drosophila melanogaster intestine to investigate the activity and significance of intrinsic sex in an adult somatic organ in vivo. We find that the adult intestinal epithelium is a cellular mosaic of different sex differentiation pathways, and displays extensive sex differences in expression of genes with roles in growth and metabolism. Cell-specific reversals of the sexual identity of adult intestinal stem cells uncover its key roles in controlling organ size, its reproductive plasticity and susceptibility to tumours. Unlike previous examples of sexually dimorphic somatic stem cell activity, the sex differences in intestinal stem cell behaviour arise from intrinsic mechanisms, which control cell cycle duration and involve a new doublesex- and fruitless-independent branch of the sex differentiation pathway downstream of transformer. Together, our findings indicate that the plasticity of an adult somatic organ is reversibly controlled by its intrinsic sexual identity, imparted by a new mechanism that may be active in more tissues than previously recognised. Adult midgut transcriptomes of 15-day-old virgin females were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate using a Hiseq2000 using paired end 100bp reads. Genotypes were: control, transformer mutant and transformer mutant female in which transformer was re-introduced in adult intestinal stem cells.

Gene expression profile in isolated E13 gonadal somatic support cells and E13 gonads.

Project description:Gonadal sex determining (GSD) genes that initiate fetal ovarian and testicular development and differentiation are expressed in the cells of the urogenital ridge that differentiate as somatic support cells (SSCs), i.e., granulosa cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. To identify potential new mammalian GSD genes, we analyzed the gene expression differences between XX and XY SSCs cells isolated from the gonads of embryonic day (E) 13 mouse fetuses carrying an EGFP reporter transgene expressed specifically in SSCs. In addition, genome wide expression differences between XX and XY E13 whole gonads were examined. Newly identified differentially expressed transcripts are potential GSD genes involved in unexplained human sex reversal cases. Keywords: microarray, mouse fetal gonadal somatic support cells, sex determination

Potency of Testicular Somatic Environment to Support Spermatogenesis in XX/Sry Transgenic Male Mice

Project description:Sry is sufficient to induce testis formation and subsequent male development of internal and external genitalia in chromosomally female mice and humans. In XX sex-reversed males such as XX/Sry-transgenic (XX/Sry) mice, however, testicular germ cells always disappear soon after birth due to germ cell autonomous defects. Therefore, it remains unclear whether or not Sry alone is sufficient to induce a fully functional testicular soma capable of supporting complete spermatogenesis in the XX body. Here we demonstrated that the testicular somatic environment of XX/Sry males is defective in the later phases of spermatogenesis. Spermatogonial transplantation analyses using XX/Sry male mice revealed that donor XY spermatogonia are capable of proliferating, entering meiosis and differentiating into the round spermatid stage. XY donor-derived round spermatids, however, were frequently detached from the XX/Sry seminiferous epithelia and underwent cell death, thereby preventing further progress beyond the elongated spermatid stage. In contrast, immature XY seminiferous tubule segments transplanted under XX/Sry testis capsules clearly displayed proper differentiation into elongated spermatids in the transplanted XY donor tubules. Microarray analysis of seminiferous tubules isolated from XX/Sry testes confirmed missing expression of several Y-linked genes and alterations in the expression profile of genes associated with spermatogenesis. Therefore, our findings indicate dysfunction of the somatic tubule components, probably Sertoli cells, of XX/Sry testes, supporting our hypothesis that Sry alone is insufficient to induce a fully functional Sertoli cell in XX mice.

Transcription profiling of mouse embryonic day (E) 11.5 and E12.5 mouse gonadsNew candidate gene identification for controlling mammalian gonadal sex determination

Project description:Mammalian gonadal sex determination is dependent on proper expression of sex determining genes in fetal gonadal somatic support cells (i.e., pre-granulosa and pre-Sertoli cells in XX and XY gonads, resp.). We used a unique transgenic mouse strain combined with microarray profiling to identify all the differentially expressed transcripts in XX and XY isolated somatic support cells during critical stages of gonadal development and differentiation. Experiment Overall Design: XX and XY somatic support cells (SSC) were isolated by flow cytometry from embryonic day (E) 11.5 and E12.5 mouse gonads. Total RNA was isolated from pools of isolated cells; 3 pools per sex and each timepoint.
