Analysis of hypertranscription in E13.5 mouse primordial germ cells

ABSTRACT: During embryonic development, large-scale reprogramming occurs in primordial germ cells (PGCs) at the level of both DNA demethylation and histone modifications. While much is known about epigenetic changes, it still remains unclear how this chromatin state impacts the transcriptome and development of the germline. We have used cell-number normalised (CNN) RNA-seq to document the striking upregulation of the germ cell transcriptome at E13.5 compared to neighboring somatic cells of the embryonic gonad. We provide a novel, genome-wide analysis of hypertranscription during development, documenting the global amplification of the majority of the E13.5 PGC transcriptome. Upregulated transcripts in PGCs include those for ribosome biogenesis, translation and chromatin remodelling, as well as all transposable element families. These data reveal the significant hyperactivity of the germ cell transcriptome.

Proteome landscape of mouse primordial germ cells

Project description:Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are precursors of both male and female gametes as fundamental materials for organism development. The transcriptome, methylome and chromatin accessibility profiles of PGCs in both mice and humans have been recently reported. However, little is known about the characteristics of PGCs at the protein levels, which directly exert cellular functions. Here, we construct landscapes of both proteome of mouse PGCs at E11.5, E13.5 and E16.5 days, the three critical developmental windows for PGCs’ sex differentiation, female meiosis initiation and male mitotic arrest. In each developmental stage of PGCs nearly 2000-3000 proteins are identified, among which specific functional pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation, DNA damage repair, and meiotic cell cycle are involved for different events during PGCs development. Thus, our work offers a valuable resource for the systematic investigations of PGC development at protein level.

DNA methylation analysis by MeDIP-on-chip in mouse E13.5 PGCs

Project description:Epigenetic reprogramming, characterized by loss of cytosine methylation and histone modifications, occurs during mammalian development in primordial germ cells (PGCs). Here we provide a detailed map of cytosine methylation on a large portion of the genome in developing male and female PGCs isolated from mouse embryos. We mapped DNA methylation in E13.5 PGCs isolated by FACS sorting from Oct4-GFP male and female embryos. As a control, we also mapped DNA methylation in E7.5 epiblasts from wich PGCs derive from. MeDIP and Input samples were hybridized to Nimblegen HD2 MM8 promoter deluxe arrays covering 12 kb of all gene promoters. Experiments were performed in duplicates for E7.5 epiblasts and triplicates for E13.5 PGCs.

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.

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.

Absolute Scaling of Single-Cell Transcriptomes Reveals Pervasive Hypertranscription in Adult Stem and Progenitor Cells

Project description:Hypertranscription facilitates biosynthetically demanding cellular state transitions through global upregulation of the nascent transcriptome. Despite its potential widespread relevance, documented examples of hypertranscription remain few and limited predominantly to early development. This limitation is in large part due to the fact that modern sequencing approaches, including single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), generally assume similar levels of transcriptional output per cell. Here, we use molecule counting and spike-in normalization to develop absolute scaling of single-cell RNA sequencing data. Absolute scaling enables an estimation of total transcript abundances per cell, which we validate in embryonic stem cell (ESC) and germline data and apply to adult mouse organs at steady-state or during regeneration.

The Hippo Pathway Prevents YAP/TAZ–Driven Hypertranscription and Controls Neural Progenitor Number [microarray]

Project description:The Hippo pathway controls the activity of YAP/TAZ transcriptional coactivators through a kinase cascade. Despite the critical role of this pathway in tissue growth and tumorigenesis, it is not fully understood how YAP/TAZ–mediated transcription drives proliferation. By analyzing the effects of inactivating LATS1/2 kinases, the direct upstream inhibitors of YAP/TAZ, on mouse brain development and applying cell-number–normalized transcriptome analysis, we discovered that YAP/TAZ activation causes a global increase in transcription activity, known as hypertranscription, and upregulates many genes associated with increased biosynthetic capacity and proliferation. In contrast, conventional read-depth–normalized RNA-sequencing analysis failed to detect the scope of the transcriptome shift and missed most relevant gene ontologies. Hypertranscription in neural progenitors inhibits differentiation and triggers DNA replication stress, DNA damage, and p53 activation, resulting in massive apoptosis. Our findings reveal the remarkable impact of YAP/TAZ activation on global transcription activity and have important implications for understanding YAP/TAZ function

Setdb1 is required for persistence of H3K9me3 and repression of endogenous retroviruses in mouse primordial germ cells

Project description:Transcription of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is inhibited by de novo DNA methylation during gametogenesis, a process initiated after birth in oocytes and at ~E15.5 in prospermatogonia. Earlier in germline development however, the genome, including most retrotransposons, is progressively demethylated, with young ERVK and ERV1 elements retaining intermediate methylation levels. As DNA methylation reaches a low point in E13.5 primordial germ cells (PGCs) of both sexes, we determined whether retrotransposons are marked by H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 using a recently developed low input ChIP-seq method. Although these repressive histone modifications are predominantly found on distinct genomic regions in E13.5 PGCs, they concurrently mark partially methylated LTRs and LINE1 elements. Germline-specific conditional knock-out (KO) of the H3K9 methyltransferase SETDB1 yields a decrease of both histone marks and DNA methylation at H3K9me3 enriched retrotransposon families. Strikingly, Setdb1-KO E13.5 PGCs show concomitant de-repression of many marked ERVs, including IAP, ETn and ERVK10C elements and ERV-proximal genes, a subset in a sex-dependent manner. Furthermore, Setdb1 deficiency is associated with a reduced number of male PGCs and postnatal hypogonadism in both sexes. Taken together, these observations reveal that SETDB1 is an essential guardian against proviral expression prior to the onset of de novo DNA methylation in the germline. H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and expression profiles in Setdb1 WT, Het and KO male and female E13.5 PGCs.
