Deregulatory effects on small non-coding RNAs by endocrine disruptors on exposed early female mouse embryos

ABSTRACT: The early stages of embryonic development are critical for the proper formation of primordial germ cells. This process is tightly regulated by different cellular signals. Among others, small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of these signals to carry out the embryonic development of germ cell linage. We analyzed the expression profiles of piRNAs and miRNAs after maternal exposure of embryos, during the first 13.5 days post-coitum, to two different endocrine disruptors (EDs) chemicals: vinclozolin and the main metabolite of phthalates (MEHP), in three successive generations after exposure only in the first generation. Our results indicate clear alterations in the expression of both piRNAs and miRNAs (including mitochondrial-related), concomitant with an increase in apoptotic cells in the female early folliculogenesis during this stage of development. However, the most drastic changes occur when the effect is generated by the exposure through both paternal and maternal pathways, rather than exclusively through the maternal exposure. Based on these findings, we hypothesize the existence of an "ovarian filtering" mechanism triggered by disruptor exposure and mediated by apoptotic mechanisms regulated by sncRNAs. This system, present only in the female germ cell lineage, could render a decrease in the follicle reserve in the adult life and would function as a defense mechanism to prevent the transmission of deleterious effects to subsequent generations.

DNA methylation changes in fetal germ cells exposed to endocrine disruptors and in the next generation [methylation set 2]

Project description:According to recent reports, exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDs) during pregnancy may harm multiple subsequent generations. We hypothesized that EDs must directly alter DNA methylation and/or transcription in the exposed fetal germ cells to affect the grandchild. In addition, the aberrant pattern must be retained in the germ cells of the grandchild -- withstanding global epigenome remodeling -- to affect the great-grandchild. To test this hypothesis, we extensively searched for immediate and persistent epigenetic effects in purified germ cells of the exposed fetus and those of the next generation. We treated gestating female mice with previously validated doses of vinclozolin (VZ), bisphenol A (BPA), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), or control oil, during the time when the prospermatogonia of the exposed fetus undergo global de novo DNA methylation. Using genome-wide assays, we detected changes in transcription and DNA methylation in the exposed prospermatogonia but these did not persist into the prospermatogonia of the next generation. There was no evidence for transgenerational inheritance of these epigenetic aberrations. Our results suggest that EDs exert direct epigenetic effects in the exposed fetal germ cells, but the germline corrects against deleterious effects in the next generation.

Functional diversity and convergence of small non-coding RNAs in male germ cell differentiation and fertilization (piRNA and endo-siRNAs)

Project description:The small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are considered as postranscriptional key regulators of male germ cell development. In addition to microRNAs (miRNAs) and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), other sncRNAs generated from small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), tRNAs or rRNAs processing may also play important regulatory roles in spermatogenesis. By next generation sequencing (NGS), we characterized the different sncRNA populations detected at three milestone stages in male germ differentiation: primordial germ cells (PGCs) at 13.5 dpc, pubertal spermatogonia cells, and mature spermatozoa. In order to assess the potential transmission of the sncRNAs through the mature spermatozoa during fertilization, the sncRNA population detected in male germ cells was also compared with sncRNAs detected in unfertilized mouse oocytes and zygotes. Combining the data obtained by NGS and microarrays from whole PGC and spermatogonia transcriptome, we defined the potential regulatory roles of specific miRNAs and their validated targets. Similar to miRNAs, both the small RNAs derived from snoRNAs and the piRNAs, could be involved in the postranscriptional regulation of mRNA transcripts during the male germ development. Finally, our results strongly suggest that the small RNAs-derived from tRNAs and rRNAs are interacting with PIWI proteins, and specifically with MILI. These new classes of piRNAs are not generated by the ping-pong pathway and could be the source of primary piRNAs.

Unraveling mitochondrial piRNAs in mouse embryonic gonadal cells

Project description:Although mitochondria are widely studied organelles, the recent interest in the role of mitochondrial small non-coding RNAs (sncRNA) is providing new functional perspectives in germ cell development and differentiation. PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are single-stranded sncRNAs of 20-35 nt generated from the processing of pre-piRNAs longer molecules to be functionally bound to PIWI proteins. Initially ascribed to germ cells, as protectors against transposons, we now know that they are also expressed in somatic cells. In mammals, germ cells differentiate at early stages of embryonic development in the primitive gonads as primordial germ cells (PGCs), initiating divergent pathways in both sexes, accompanied by somatic cells (SCs) of the ovary or testis. Previously, we identified mitochondrial piRNAs (mito-piRNAs) in mouse germ and somatic cells. However, a comparative analysis of mito-piRNAs between PGCs and SCs, between sexes and during early gonadal development has not been performed. We leverage NGS data obtained from PGCs and SCs purified from early differentiating embryonic ovaries and testis from E11.5 to E13.5. Using bioinformatic tools, here we unravel: the origin (from nuclear or mitochondrial genome), the levels of expression, the potential role of mito-piRNAs, as well as their association with genomic regions encoding other sncRNAs (such as tRNAs and rRNAs) and the mitochondrial regulatory region (D-loop). Finally, our results indicate nucleo-mitochondrial communication at both anterograde and retrograde signaling, mediated by mito-piRNAs.

Transgenerational Gene Expression Changes Caused by Exposing Fetal Germ Cells to Endocrine Disruptors
