Defining soma-specific/enriched and germline-specific/enriched transcripts

ABSTRACT: To define what genes are predominantly or specifically expressed in either soma or germline in C. elegans adults, total RNA was extracted from germline-less glp-4 mutant animals or from dissected gonads, respectively.

Germline- and soma-specific heritable epigenetic silencing at an endogenous locus (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The emergence and transmission of epigenetic signals across generations can quickly and efficiently alter gene expression in a population. We describe an epigenetic silencing signal whose initiation, transmission properties, genetic requirements and site of action are distinct from previously described epigenetic inheritance in C. elegans. A multi-copy transgene containing the region upstream of sid-1 silences sid-1 and upstream genes. Once established, silencing is stable in the absence of the array and can be maintained without selection for 13 generations. We show that the silenced state can be transmitted to progeny in the absence of the silenced locus, but that inherited silencing is dependent on the nuclear RNAi Argonaute HRDE-1, which stabilizes silencing siRNAs that target sid-1 exons. Notably, at each generation, the RNAi-dependent germline silenced sid-1 locus transitions to a chromatin-dependent silenced state in somatic cells, indicating that the mechanisms of transgenerational silencing in the soma and germline are distinct.

Using Auxin-inducible-degradation System to Interrogate Tissue-specific Transcriptional Programs of HSF-1 in Lifespan Assurance [HSF-1 transcriptome in the soma]

Project description:To determine the transcriptional program of HSF-1 in lifespan assurance in C. elegans, we coupled HSF-1 depletion specifically from the soma by auxin-inducible degron (AID) with RNA-seq analyses in whole animals. Depletion of HSF-1 from the soma was performed by transferring worms that express the E3 ligase TIR1 in somatic tissues and carry AID insertion to the endogenous HSF-1 onto NGM plates containing 1mM auxin (indole- 3-acetic acid, Sigma). The mock treatment was done by transferring worms to plates only containing the vehicle ethanol (EtOH). We analyzed the transcriptomic changes by RNA-seq upon soma-specific depletion of HSF-1 initiated at young adult stage for different length of time. We included the strains that only express TIR1 but do not have degron insertion at HSF-1 (CA1200) to control for the effects of auxin treatment and AID insertion into HSF-1. We performed analyses in the wild-type background (JTL611) as well as in the longlived, germline stem cell (GSC) arrested glp-1(e2141) mutant (JTL667). The AID model in fem-3(q20) mutant (JTL670) was included as a control for JTL667. JTL670 (fem-3) is sterile at 25°C as JTL667 (glp-1) but has normal lifespan.

C. elegans establishes germline versus soma by balancing inherited histone methylation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:In C. elegans, the H3K4me2 demethylase, SPR-5, and the H3K9 methyltransferase, MET-2, are maternally deposited into the oocyte where they reprogram histone methylation to prevent somatic expression of germline genes. Here, we show that the progeny of spr-5; met-2 mutants display a severe developmental delay that is associated with the ectopic expression of germline genes targeted by the H3K36me2/3 methyltransferase, MES-4. Maternally deposited MES-4 maintains H3K36me2/3 at a subset of germline genes (hereafter referred to as MES-4 germline genes) in a transcription-independent manner, and this is required for germline proliferation in the subsequent generation. By performing ChIP-seq on L1 progeny from spr-5; met-2 mutants, we find that MES-4 germline genes ectopically accumulate H3K36me3 in somatic tissues. Additionally, knocking down MES-4 suppresses the ectopic expression of MES-4 germline genes and rescues the developmental delay. These data suggest a model where SPR-5, MET-2 and MES-4 carefully balance the inheritance of histone methylation from the parental germline to ensure the proper specification of germline versus soma in the progeny. Without SPR-5; MET-2 maternal reprogramming, somatic cells struggle to specify their proper cell fate amongst the background noise of inappropriate germline gene transcription, leading to a severe developmental delay.
