Temporal-spatial Establishment of Initial Niche for the Primary Spermatogonial Stem Cell formation is Determined by an ARID4B Regulatory Network (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The primary spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), which arise from gonocytes during neonatal development, serve as a foundational self-renewing reservoir to ensure continuous production of spermatozoa throughout adulthood. The transformation of gonocytes into SSCs takes place in a niche established by Sertoli cells. To date, the factors that guide Sertoli cells to establish the initial stem cell niche remain largely unknown. Using Sertoli cell-specific Arid4b knockout (Arid4bSCKO) mice, we demonstrated that ablation of ARID4B resulted in failure to establish a niche for the SSC formation. We performed RNA-Seq analysis to examine the gene expression profile of the Arid4bSCKO testes in comparison with that of control testes.

Sertoli Cell-Only Syndrome Human Transcriptome Profiling Study

Project description:<p>Sertoli cell-only syndrome is severe form of human male infertility in which most seminiferous tubules appear to lack all spermatogenic cells, including spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). However, a few small tubule segments of some patients have active spermatogenesis and, thus, functional stem cell niches and SSCs. Normally SSCs replicate, migrate and refill adjacent empty niches, but this does not appear to occur in SCO syndrome. We hypothesized that this failure occurs because most niches are dysfunctional. As Sertoli cells are essential to formation of these niches, we used RNAseq to compare the transcriptomes of human testes with qualitatively normal (complete) spermatogenesis (n=4) with the transcriptomes of human testes with SCO syndrome (n=7). We then focused our analysis on the expression of transcripts that bioinformatic analyses identified as Sertoli cell signature transcripts. Results show that Sertoli cells in SCO testes express abnormally low levels of GDNF, FGF8 and BMP4, all of which are important regulators of mouse SSCs and/or progenitor spermatogonia. Sertoli cells in SCO testes express significantly reduced levels of transcripts for proteins that polarize the Sertoli cell plasma membrane and regulate the trafficking of cell adhesion and gap junction proteins in and out of that plasma membrane.</p>

Expression data from Arid4b knockdown cell lines

Project description:High Arid4b promotes mammary tumor growth and metastasis in mouse model systems, and is associated with poor metastasis-free survival in human breast cancer patients. Through shRNA-mediated knockdown, we demonstrated that loss of Arid4b significantly inhibits the ability of mouse breast cancer cells to metastasize to the lungs. We performed microarray expression and subsequent network analysis to identify genes diferentially regulated as a consequence of Arid4b knockdown. The highly metastatic mouse breast cancer cell line 6DT1 was transduced with lentiviral shRNAs targeting Arid4b (RMM4534-NM_194262, Open Biosystems) or scrambled control in the same pLKO.1 vector backbone. Stably transduced cells were selected with puromycin, then total RNA was isolated from pooled clones.

Multiomics Approach to Profiling Development of the Spermatogonial Stem Cell Niche Focused on Sertoli cell Maturation

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells are the foundation of spermatogenesis and as such can serve as a tool for the treatment of infertility in prepubertal cancer survivors. Spermatogonial stem cells are unique as they develop from primordial germ cells (PGCs), which colonize the developing tubules as immature SSC precursors. It has been controversial, when SSCs are maturing to an adult-like stem cell and recent research has found that prepubertal SSCs are actually metabolically distinct from adult SSCs until puberty. Sertoli cells picture a major part of the SSC niche and undergo drastic changes with puberty and polarize to compartmentalize the seminiferous epithelium with formation of tight junctions to a tight basal part where SSCs reside and an apical part with more differentiated stages of spermatogenesis. In the study were mapping the progression of Sertoli cells maturation events to the metabolic changes SSCs undergo during prepubertal development.

Androgen Promotes Differentiation of Promyelocytic Leukemia Zinc Finger (PLZF)+ Spermatogonia pool via Indirect Regulatory Pattern

Project description:We examined a regulatory role of the AR during the process of spermatogenesis. Using a SSCs-Sertoli cells co-culture system, we demonstrated that androgen negatively regulated Plzf in SSCs that co-exist with Sertoli cells. In addition, we identified Gata2 as a target of AR in Sertoli cells, and subsequently observed that Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) and β1-integrin as two putative intermediate molecules to transfer the differentiation signals to SSCs. This signal pathway was further verified using androgen pharmacological deprivation mice model. These results demonstrate a regulatory pattern of androgen in SSCs niche, that androgen turns off the stemness maintenance switch PLZF in undifferentiated spermatogonia populations to promote spermatogenesis in an indirect way via multiple steps of signal transduction.

Gene expression profiles of Lhcgr-deficient testes

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) provide foundation for spermatogenesis by undergoing continuous self-renewal division. Previous studies have reported conflicting results on the role of the pituitary gland activity in SSC self-renewal. In this study, we analyzed the role of hormonal regulation of SSCs using Lhcgr (luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor) knockout mice. Analysis of gene expression profiles showed that testes of Lhcgr-deficient mice exhibit significantly enhanced Wnt5a expression in Sertoli cells. Lhcgr KO and control WT mice were treated with busulfan in order to eliminate germ cells. The total RNA samples from their testes were subjected to microarray analysis to compare their gene expression profiles.

The role of Arid4b in mESC lineage commitment (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Distinct cell types emerge from embryonic stem cells through a precise and coordinated execution of gene expression programs during lineage commitment. This is established by the action of lineage specific transcription factors along with chromatin complexes. Numerous studies focused on epigenetic factors that affect ESC self-renewal and pluripotency. However, the contribution of chromatin to lineage decisions at the exit from pluripotency has not been studied extensively. We have set out to identify chromatin related factors critical for differentiation towards mesodermal and endodermal lineages. Our results reveal a critical role for chromatin protein, Arid4b. Arid4b deficient mESCs are similar to wild-type mESCs in the expression of pluripotency factors and their self-renewal. However, we found that Arid4b loss results in defects in upregulation of meso/endodermal gene expression program. Arid4b is in the Sin3a complex along with Hdac1 and Hdac2. We identified a physical and functional interaction of Arid4b with Hdac1 rather than Hdac2. Arid4b deficiency leads to changes in the overall chromatin environment. Most notably, a subset of the genomic loci was found to gain H3K27Ac whereas several of the key developmental genes instead have increased H3K27me3 levels. Accordingly, the super-enhancers associated with meso/endoderm commitment were selectively reduced in arid4b∆ cells.

Expression data from Shp2f/f and SCSKO mice testis

Project description:The ability of male reproduction is seriously dependent on Sertoli cells. However, the mechanisms governing the functional integrity of Sertoli cells remained largely unexplored. Tyrosine phosphatase protein Shp2 is expressed in germ, Leydig and Sertoli cells of mice testes. But the physiological role of Shp2 in the spermatogenesis was not fully understood. Thus, we conditionally deleted Shp2 gene in Sertoli cells using two transgenic models, and demonstrated that Shp2 deficiency caused infertility, excessive differentiation of SSCs and abnormal BTB in mice. To further discover the underlying mechanism of Shp2 regulation, we collected the mRNA of testes from wild type or knockout mice at 16.5 fetal day, Postnatal 3 days, 1 weeks, 2 weeks, and then screened the gene expression. Testis tissues from Shp2f/f and SCSKO mice were for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
