Persistent Requirement and Alteration of the Key Targets of PRDM1 during Primordial Germ Cell Development in Mice

ABSTRACT: Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the foundation of totipotency and vital for reproduction and heredity. PGCs in mice arise from the epiblast around Embryonic Day (E) 7.0, migrate through the hindgut endoderm, and colonize and proliferate in the embryonic gonads until around E13.5 prior to their differentiation either into pro-spermatogonia or oogonia. PRDM1, a transcriptional repressor, plays an essential role in PGC specification that includes robustly repressing a somatic mesodermal program. Using an inducible conditional knockout system, we show here that PRDM1 is critically required throughout PGC development. When Prdm1 was deleted in migrating PGCs at E9.5/E10.5 or in male gonadal PGCs at E11.5, PGCs were eliminated by apoptosis from around E10/5/E11.5 or E13.5, respectively. When Prdm1 was deleted in female gonadal PGCs at E11.5, PGCs progressed into the first meiotic prophase in an apparently normal fashion, but the oogonia exhibited an aberrant pachytene phenotype, undergoing abrupt apoptosis from around E16.5. The escape of a fraction of PGCs (~10%) from the Prdm1 deletion was sufficient to recover fairly normal germ-cell pools both in male and female adults. The key targets of PRDM1 in migrating/gonadal PGCs, including genes for development, apoptosis, and pro-spermatogonial differentiation, showed only a modest overlap with those upon PGC specification and were enriched with histone H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation (H3K27me3). Our findings provide a critical insight into the mechanism for maintaining the transcriptional integrity of PGCs.

MicroRNAs-wide analysis of primordial germ and somatic cells reveals sexual and developmental differential functional regulation in mouse embryonic gonads

Project description:We have characterized by small-RNAseq the miRNA expression pattern of mouse male and female Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) and somatic stromal cells from gonads at E11.5, E12.5 and E13.5. MiRNA accumulation was higher in somatic cells than in PGCs and more stable across the different developmental stages analyzed. Differential expression analyses showed differences in the regulation of key miRNA clusters such as miR-199-214, miR-182-183-96 and miR-34c-5p whose targets have defined roles in both germ and somatic cells in gonadal sexual determination. Extensive analyses of miRNA sequences revealed an increase in non-canonical isoforms in PGCs at E12.5 compared to E11.5 and E13.5 and a dramatic change in isomiR expression and non-template 3' nucleotide additions in female PGCs at E13.5 respect to the other samples.

Transcriptome profiling of wild type primordial germ cells (PGC) by RNAseq

Project description:Purpose: To identify molecular pathways underlying epigenetic reprogramming in early germ cell precursors, we examined global gene expression of wild type primordial germ cells using mRNA sequencing. Methods: Given the limited number of PGCs collected from E9.5 to E13.5 (ranging from 300 to 5000), we used a low-input RNA sequencing method, Smart-Seq. RNA libraries were pooled and sequenced by Illumina Hiseq. Results: We generated >22 million uniquely mapped reads per sample and identified >10 thousand transcripts per genotype (RPKM>0.1). Hierarchical clustering and correlation analysis on gene expression indicates samples were clearly separated according to their genotypes with Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.98/0.99 within biological replicates. Compared with E9.5 PGCs, 479 genes were significantly up-regulated and 248 genes were down-regulated in E11.5 PGCs. When compared with E11.5 PGCs, male E13.5 PGCs had 362 up-regulated, and 239 down-regulated genes, whereas female E13.5 PGCs had 1163 up-regulated and 333 down-regulated genes. Overall, the number of up-regulated genes was greater than that of the down-regulated genes in every comparison, suggesting that gene expression is generally activated during PGC reprogramming. mRNA profiles of primordial germ cells derived from developmental embryos stages (E9.5, E11.5 and E13.5) were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicates (E9.5 and E11.5) or triplicates (E13.5f and E13.5m), using Illumina Hiseq.

Transcriptomal changes during differentiation of human iPS cells to PGC-like cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cell-derived human primordial germ cell (PGC)-like cells (hPGCLCs) may provide important opportunities to study human PGCs. We produced CD38+ hPGCLCs with a high efficiency [~43% of FACS-sorted embryoid body (EB) cells] from primed-pluripotency induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) via 72-hour reprogramming towards ERK-independent naïve pluripotency. RNA-seq confirmed transcriptomal consistency of our hPGCLCs with hPGCLCs previously produced using various other methods. Immunohistochemical studies identified hPGCLCs exclusively at the outermost surface layer of EBs mostly as scattered cells, and live cell imaging revealed actively migrating hPGCLCs forming cellular protrusions. Both CD38+ hPGCLCs and CD38- EB cells significantly expressed PRDM1 and TFAP2C, but PRDM1 mRNA of CD38- cells lacked the 3’-untranslated region with let-7 and other miRNA binding sites known to regulate PRDM1 mRNA stability. Genes expressed specifically in hPGCLCs included early-PGC markers KIT, NANOS3, and SOX17, and cell migration genes, and their promoter sequences were enriched with TFAP2C binding motif. Whereas all hPGCLCs strongly expressed the CXCR4 chemotaxis receptor, its ligand CXCL12/SDF1 was not significantly expressed in the whole EBs. Exposure of hPGCLCs to CXCL12/SDF1 induced cell migration and anti-apoptosis genes; in contrast, genes involved in nuclear division were suppressed. Our study demonstrates a transcriptomal consistency of hPGCLCs produced using varying methods as well as distinct roles and/or regulation of PRDM1 and TFAP2C expression in development of human and mouse PGCs. Relevance of hPGCLCs to early-stage human embryonic PGCs randomly migrating in the midline region of human embryos before initiating directional chemotaxis under CXCR4-CXCL12/SDF1 signaling has also been suggested.

Epigenetic reprogramming enables the primordial germ cell-to-gonocyte transition (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Gametes are highly specialised cells that can give rise to the next generation through their ability to generate a totipotent zygote. In mouse, germ cells are first specified in the developing embryo as primordial germ cells (PGCs) starting around embryonic day (E) 6.25. Following subsequent migration into the developing gonad, PGCs undergo a wave of extensive epigenetic reprogramming at E10.5/E11.5, including genome-wide loss of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). The underlying molecular mechanisms of this process have remained enigmatic leading to our inability to recapitulate this step of germline development in vitro. Using an integrative approach, we show that this complex reprogramming process involves the coordinated interplay between promoter sequence characteristics, DNA (de)methylation, Polycomb (PRC1) complex and both DNA demethylation-dependent and -independent functions of Tet1 to enable the activation of a critical set of germline reprogramming responsive (GRR) genes involved in gamete generation and meiosis. Our results also unexpectedly reveal a role for Tet1 in safeguarding but not driving DNA demethylation in gonadal PGCs. Collectively, our work uncovers a fundamental biological role for gonadal germline reprogramming and identifies the epigenetic principles of the PGC-to-gonocyte transition that will be instructive towards recapitulating complete gametogenesis in vitro.

Regulation of human germline commitment by DMRT1 [RNA-seq and Cut&Run]

Project description:Nascent human primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) can be specified with BMP2 or BMP4 together with SCF and EGF from germline competent embryonic stem cells which are maintained in the presence of inhibitors for GSK3, MEK, p38 and JNK together with FGF2, TGFβ and LIF (4i ESC). Here we discovered that Activin A and retinoic acid treatment after PGC specification induced genes expressed in migrating and gonadal PGCs in vivo, including DMRT1 and CDH5. Ectopic expression of DMRT1 and SOX17 resulted in repression of pluripotent genes as well as induction of DAZL and a subset of mitotic arrest PGC genes. Our findings provide novel insights on the roles of DMRT1 for the transition from nascent PGCs towards germline determination and molecular mechanisms of early human germline development.
