Female- or Male-biased Offspring Generated by Targeted Distortion of Sex Chromosome Transmission

ABSTRACT: In animal breeding, female or male progeny is preferred depending on the use of the animals. Especially in livestock, offspring with undesired sex is of low economic value and often culled. Here we achieve targeted sex ratio distortion in the mouse, leveraging components of a selfish supergene, the t-haplotype. Utilizing its central element, the t-responder, we generate a highly “selfless” genetic element disabling transgenic sperm. When integrated on the X or Y chromosome it results in a high prevalence of non-transgenic offspring of the desired sex. Our strategy overcomes key limitations of existing strategies, including compromised animal health, reduced fertility, and fully transgenic breeding stocks, which might foster acceptance of its application to livestock. The efficacy of our approach marks a groundbreaking advance in animal breeding.

Rapid production of modified cattle and sheep from spermatid-like stem cells [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Haploid androgenetic stem cells (haSCs) are invaluable resources for studying animal traits and greatly impact livestock breeding, but livestock haSCs have yet to be obtained. Here, we report the derivation of cattle and sheep haSCs using the recombined FACE medium, and these cells harbor formative pluripotency features. Notably, knockout cattle and sheep can be obtained upon injection of the protaminized haSCs with targeted gene mutations into intact oocytes.

Transcriptome profiling of adult cardiac tissue of control versus overfed female sheep prenatally treated with bisphenol A

Project description:Developmental programming is the concept that environmental factors during fetal growth can alter development, metabolism and physiology of an organism, thus diseases can be programmed by intrauterine influences. The fetal origin of health and disease hypothesis has received strong support from experimental studies in animals including livestock species. Using a sheep model, it has been shown that developmental changes of ewe offspring may be susceptible to maternal pregnancy bisphenol A (BPA) treatment. For example, prenatally BPA treated female offspring tended to have reduced birth weight. In this study we sought to identify gene expression differences in ewe offspring as a result of maternal pregnancy BPA treatment on a control or high-caloried diet. Samples of heart tissues were collected during the second breeding season, allowing us to examine gene expression changes in ewes prenatally treated with BPA and maturing under the different diets.

Male mice lacking Teshl lncRNA exhibit inactivation of Y chromosomal multicopy genes and female distortion-biased sex ratio change in offspring

Project description:Deletion of multicopy genes located in the male-specific region of the mouse Y chromosome long arm (MSYq) is associated with sperm head abnormalities and male infertility. Heat shock factor 2 (HSF2) regulates the transcription of multicopy genes in MSYq. Little is known how HSF2-dependent regulation of the MSYq genes occurs only in testis. Testis harbors the largest number of tissue-specific long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Here, we report that the novel mouse testis-specific lncRNA NR_038002 is conserved in humans and displayed a spatiotemporal expression pattern in the nucleus of elongating spermatids. NR_038002-deficient male mice produced sperm with abnormal head morphology and exhibited reduced fertility accompanied by female-biased sex ratio change in offspring. Molecular analyses revealed that NR_038002 interacts with HSF2, and thereby activates the expression of the MSYq genes, such as Sycp3 like Y-linked (Sly) and spermiogenesis-specific transcript on the Y (Ssty). We designate NR_038002 as Teshl (testis-specific HSF2-interacting lncRNA). Taken together, our study establishes a molecular relationship of Teshl-HSF2-MSYq, and provides evidence for the critical role of the Teshl-HSF2 complex in acquiring the normal quality of Y-bearing sperm, leading to balanced offspring sex ratio

Sex-specific effects of in vitro fertilization on adult metabolic phenotypes and hepatic transcriptomic and proteomic pathways in mouse

Project description:Although in vitro fertilization (IVF) is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, an increasing concern is the long-term health implications. We augmented our IVF mouse model to longitudinally investigate cardiometabolic outcomes in offspring from optimal neonatal litter sizes. We found that IVF-conceived females had higher body weight and cholesterol levels compared to naturally-conceived females, whereas IVF-conceived males had higher levels of triglycerides and insulin, and increased body fat composition. Through transcriptomics and proteomics of adult liver, we identified sexually-dimorphic dysregulation of the sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) pathways that are associated with the sex-specific phenotypes. We also found that global loss of DNA methylation in placenta was linked to higher cholesterol levels in IVF-conceived females. Our findings indicate that IVF procedures have long-lasting sex-specific effects on metabolic health of offspring and lay the foundation to utilize the placenta as a predictor of long-term outcomes.

QuantSeq analysis in the hippocampus of WT and PHF2 t/g mice

Project description:Long-term memory formation is attributed to experience-dependent gene expression. Dynamic changes in histone methylation status are essential for epigenetic regulation of memory consolidation-related genes. Here, we demonstrated that plant homeodomain finger protein 2 (PHF2) histone demethylase is upregulated in the mouse hippocampus during experience and plays an essential role in memory formation. QuantSeq analysis was performed to examine differential gene expression in the hippocampus of WT and PHF2 t/g mice. Transgenic mice were created by injecting the CMV-Flag-PHF2 vector into fertilized eggs from C57BL6 mice. Transgenic lines were established from 9 founders that were identified via PCR-based genotyping. Among the transgenic lines, mice with high PHF2 expressed brains were singled out for breeding. First, selected heterozygote males were bred with heterozygote females which produced homozygote, heterozygote and wild littermates. Since it is difficult to differentiate between hetero and homo mice with genotyping, we separated homo mice from hetero mice by breeding each of hetero and homo mice with wild type mice and confirming the genotypes of their offspring. In other words, hetero mice bred with wild type mice would have both wild type and hetero genotype of offspring, while homo mice bred with wild type mice would only have hetero genotype of offspring. Through this process, we particularly selected the homo mice and this transgenic line was used and maintained for this experiment.

Infection of the murine placenta by Listeria monocytogenes induces sex-specific responses in the fetal brain

Project description:BACKGROUND: Epidemiological data indicate that prenatal infection is associated with an increased risk of several neurodevelopmental disorders in the progeny. These disorders display sex differences in presentation. The role of the placenta in the sex-specificity of infection-induced neurodevelopmental abnormalities is not well-defined. We used an imaging-based animal model of the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes to identify sex-specific effects of placental infection on neurodevelopment of the fetus. METHODS: Pregnant CD1 mice were infected with a bioluminescent strain of Listeria on embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5). Excised fetuses were imaged on E18.5 to identify the infected placentas. The associated fetal brains were analyzed for gene expression and altered brain structure due to infection. The behavior of adult offspring affected by prenatal Listeria infection was analyzed. RESULTS: Placental infection induced sex-specific alteration of gene expression patterns in the fetal brain and resulted in abnormal cortical development correlated with placental infection levels. Furthermore, male offspring exhibited abnormal social interaction, whereas females exhibited elevated anxiety. CONCLUSION: Placental infection by Listeria induced sex-specific abnormalities in neurodevelopment of the fetus. Prenatal infection also affected the behavior of the offspring in a sex-specific manner.

Maternal social environment shapes yolk testosterone allocation and embryonic neural gene expression in tree swallows

Project description:A female's behavioral and physiological response to her environment can have lasting effects on the development of her offspring. This type of non-genetic inheritance (or maternal effect) occurs across taxa but is particularly well-studied in birds due to the relative ease of measuring maternal hormones in externally developing eggs. For example, females breeding in areas of high social competition allocate more of the hormone testosterone (T) to their egg yolks. These high-T offspring exhibit numerous phenotypic changes, including faster juvenile growth and enhanced aggression well into adulthood, which are potentially beneficial traits in high-competition areas. Thus, females may be able to communicate the current social environment to their offspring and prepare them for adverse conditions. Yet, the proximate mechanisms underlying how maternal hormones affect offspring are largely ignored, impairing our understanding of an ecologically important source of phenotypic plasticity. Here, we explored the effects of the maternal social environment on yolk T allocation and genome-wide patterns of neural gene expression in male and female tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) embryos. We observed a population of free-living tree swallows breeding at sites with variable breeding densities. We performed behavioral observations to record the rate of physical aggression at these sites, which was significantly higher at high density sites. We collected eggs at two developmental timepoints: the day laid to measure maternally derived T concentrations and embryonic day 11 (ED11) to measure gene expression patterns in whole brains using RNA-seq. We took a genome-wide approach to help clarify the potentially diverse mechanisms regulated by early T exposure across variable social environments. We additionally molecularly sexed the embryos to explore sex-specific effects.
