Paternal microplastic exposure alters sperm small non-coding RNAs and elicits offspring metabolic dysfunctions in mice

ABSTRACT: Microplastics (MPs) has been known for its toxicity on various organs and cells in humans, and its exposure leading to disease. Nevertheless, the toxic effects and underlying mechanisms on the profile of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in sperm, as well as their effects on embryo development, are not well understood. We recently developed the novel RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technique, PANDORA-seq to overcome the limitations of traditional RNA sequencing. In this study, we elucidated the sncRNA changes using PANDORA-seq in mouse sperm after four weeks of oral gavage with MPs. We also examined the effects of sncRNAs on mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). MP exposure significantly altered sncRNA biogenesis-related genes in the testis and cauda epididymis, but not in the caput epididymis. PANDORA-seq revealed that a sncRNA landscape including transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and ribosomal RNA-derived small RNAs (rsRNAs) in the sperm was changed by MPs gavage. Interestingly, transfections of changed sncRNA, tsRNA-Glu-CTC and 5S ribosomal RNA (5S rRNA), in mESC changed pluripotency, inflammation, and cardiovascular development related genes. In conclusion, exposure to MPs may alter the sncRNA profile in sperm, which could affect embryonic development and increase the risk of inheritable diseases such as atherosclerosis and metabolic disorders.

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

PANDORA-seq: expanding the small RNA repertoire by overcoming RNA modifications

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are key molecules regulating gene expression. High-throughput RNA-seq greatly advanced sncRNA discovery; however, traditional cDNA library construction protocols generate biased sequencing results, in part due to RNA modifications that interfere with adapter ligation and reverse transcription processes, preventing the detection of sncRNAs bearing these modifications. Here, we present PANDORA-seq (Panoramic RNA Display by Overcoming RNA modification Aborted Sequencing), employing a combination of enzymatic treatments to remove key RNA modifications that block adapter ligation and reverse transcription during cDNA library construction. PANDORA-Seq enables the discovery of thousands of modified sncRNAs previously undetected, mostly tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and rRNA-derived small RNAs (rsRNAs), which are tissue/cell-specifically detected across mouse brain, liver, spleen, sperm, mouse and human embryonic stem cells, and HeLa cells. Moreover, PANDORA-Seq reveals dynamic changes of tsRNAs and rsRNAs during reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), pointing to future investigations on their potential regulatory functions.

Acrylamide modulates the mouse epididymal proteome to drive alterations to the sperm epigenome and dysregulate embryo development

Project description:Paternal exposure to environmental stressors 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 modify the sperm sncRNA landscape. Here, we report the acute sensitivity of the sperm sncRNA profile to the 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 abundance 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, and dysregulated gene expression during early embryonic development following fertilisation by acrylamide-exposed spermatozoa. These data provide mechanistic links to account for how environmental insults can alter the sperm epigenome and compromise the transcriptomic profile of early embryos.

PANDORA-seq uncovers sensitive mitochondrial small RNA alterations associated with increased lysosome activity in an Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model

Project description:Emerging small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs), including tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and rRNA-derived small RNAs (rsRNAs), are critical in diverse biological processes, such as neurological diseases. Traditional sncRNA-seq protocols often miss these sncRNAs due to their modifications. We have recently developed PANDORA-seq, a method enabling more comprehensive detection of modified sncRNAs by overcoming the RNA modifications. Using PANDORA-seq, we have revealed an updated sncRNA profile enriched by tsRNAs/rsRNAs in the mouse cortex and found a particularly significant downregulation of mitochondrial tsRNAs and rsRNAs in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model, compared to genomic tsRNAs and rsRNAs. Moreover, our integrated analysis of cortex gene expression and sncRNA profiles reveals that those downregulated mitochondrial sncRNAs are negatively correlated with enhanced lysosomal activity, suggesting a crucial interplay between mitochondrial RNA dynamics and lysosomal function in AD. Given the versatile tsRNA/tsRNA molecular actions in cellular regulation, our data provides insights for future mechanistic study of AD with potential therapeutic strategies.

Deep sequencing analysis of small non-coding RNAs reveals the diversity of microRNAs and piRNAs in the human epididymis.

Project description:The epididymis in male reproductive system plays a crucial role in regulating the development of sperm motility and fertilizing capacity. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), especially microRNAs (miRNAs), can participate in the regulation of various physiological pathways. However, their abundance and whether they are involved in the regulation of gene expression in the human epididymis are unknown. By adopting the Solexa deep sequencing approach, we systematically investigated the sncRNAs in the adult human epididymis. A total of 4,903 unique reads representing 527 known miRNA were discovered. Eighteen novel miRNA genes encoding 23 mature miRNAs were also identified, suggesting a complicated miRNA regulatory network. The expression of some of the novel miRNA was confirmed by qRT-PCR. The presence of Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) in the library also adds to the diversity of sncRNA population in the human epididymis. This research lays the foundation for the functional study of sncRNAs in huamn reproductive system.

Dnmt2 mediates intergenerational transmission of paternally acquired metabolic disorders through sperm small non-coding RNAs

Project description:The discovery of RNAs (e.g. mRNAs, non-coding RNAs) in sperm has opened the possibility that sperm may function in delivering additional paternal information aside from solely providing the DNA1. Increasing evidence now suggests that sperm small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) can mediate intergenerational transmission of paternally acquired phenotypes, including mental stress2, 3 and metabolic disorders4-6. How sperm sncRNAs encode paternal information remains unclear, but the mechanism may involve RNA modifications. Here we show that deletion of a mouse tRNA methyltransferase, DNMT2, abolished sperm sncRNA-mediated transmission of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic disorders to offspring. Dnmt2 deletion prevented the elevation of RNA modifications (m5C, m2G) in sperm 30-40nt RNA fractions that are induced by HFD. Also, Dnmt2 deletion altered the sperm small RNA expression profile, including levels of tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and rRNA-derived small RNAs (rsRNA-28S), which might be essential in composing a sperm RNA ‘coding signature’ that is needed for paternal epigenetic memory. Finally, we show that Dnmt2-mediated m5C contributes to the secondary structure and biological properties of sncRNAs, implicating sperm RNA modifications as an additional layer of paternal hereditary information.

Construction of N6 Methyladenosine Atlas in Yak Epididymis Reveals the Process of Sperm Maturation Modification

Project description:The epididymis is an important component of the male reproductive system and a crucial site for sperm maturation. During the process of sperm maturation through the epididymis, the effective payload of SncRNA significantly changes, which may be related to epigenetic modifications. Unfortunately, the N6 Methyladenosine (m6A) modification profile of the epididymis has not yet been established. In this study, the MeRIP seq combined with RNA seq method was used to analyze the m6A modification levels in the head, body, and tail of yak epididymis. It was found that the level of m6A in the epididymis significantly increased, and differentially methylated RNAs (DMRs) in the proximal end of the epididymis were significantly enriched in Gap junction, ErbB signaling pathway, and mTOR signaling pathway, participating in cell communication and sperm maturation processes. In the distal epididymis, DMRs are enriched in Apoptosis, FoxO signaling pathway, PI3K Akt signaling pathway, and TNF signaling pathway, which are involved in sperm autophagy, oxidative stress, and sperm maturation. In addition, we identified key genes with significant changes in m6A levels but no differences in RNA levels, including YY1 associated factor 2 (YAF2), Fork head box J2 (FOXJ2), and Fork head box O1 (FOXO1), suggesting that these genes are modified by m6A to affect translation processes and participate in sperm maturation. In summary, our study established an m6A map of the epididymis, which is beneficial for further understanding the maturation process of sperm and revealing more information related to male infertility.

P6 Mouse Sertoli Cell Small RNA seq

Project description:This study annotates the NGS reads in a Sertoli cell sncRNA library. In addition to known sncRNAs, we also identified numerous novel sncRNAs expressed by Sertoli cells. Our data suggest that the Sertoli cell sncRNA transcriptome predominantly consists of miRNAs, piRNA-like RNAs, tRNAs and snoRNAs. This study reports the first comprehensive annotation of the Sertoli cell sncRNA transcriptome. Sertoli cells were purified from post-natal day 6 C57Bl/6 mice using the STAPUT unit gravity sedimentation apparatus. Small RNA was isolated from cells and a cDNA library was generated for 454 sequencing. Sequences from FastA files were initially mapped to known sequences and the genome and subsequently annotated upon novel small RNA categorization.
