Our previous studies have reported that a putative trypsin-like serine protease, PRSS37, is exclusively expressed in testicular germ cells during late spermatogenesis and essential for sperm migration from the uterus into the oviduct and sperm-egg recognition via mediating the interaction between PDILT and ADAM3. In the present study, the global proteome profiles of wild-type (wt) and Prss37<sup>-/-</sup> mice in testis and sperm were compared employing data independent acquisition (DIA) technol ...[more]

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare small non-coding RNA profiling (snRNA-seq) in WT oocyte, sperm and 2PN stage embryos to those sperm and 2PN stage embryos derived from WT, Dicer cKO and Drosha cKO. We further study the roles of sperm-borne small RNA on fertilization and pre-implantation embryonic development. Methods: Small RNA profiles of adult wild-type (WT) oocytes, adult WT sperm, 2PN stage embryos, adult Dicer cKO/Drosha cKO sperm, 2PN stage embryos were generated by deep sequencing in duplicate, using Ion Torrent Proton. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the small RNA level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm9) and identified 16,014 small RNA (miRNA and endo-siRNA) in the oocyte, sperm and 2PN stage of WT and Dicer cKO/Drosha cKO mice with BWA workflow and 34,115 transcripts with TopHat workflow. Approximately 47% of the miRNAs showed differential expression between the WT and Dicer cKO sperm, ~52% of miRNAs were shown dysregulated in Drosha cKO sperm compared to those in WT sperm with a fold change ≥2.0 and p value <0.05. Data analysis with BWA and TopHat workflows revealed a significant overlap yet provided complementary insights in transcriptome profiling. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of small non-coding RNAs (miRNAs) in sperm and demonstrated that sperm-borne small RNAs are important for fertilization and early embrynic develoment, with biologic duplicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of small RNAs profiles in mouse sperm, oocytes and 2PN stage of embryos. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of small RNA contents within sperm or oocytes/embryos. We conclude that RNA-seq based small RNAs characterization in gametes would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions during fertilization and embryonic development.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In previous studies using candidate gene approaches, low sperm count (oligospermia) has been associated with altered sperm mRNA content and DNA methylation in both imprinted and non-imprinted genes. We performed a genome-wide analysis of sperm DNA methylation and mRNA content to test for associations with sperm function. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sperm DNA and mRNA were isolated from 21 men with a range of semen parameters presenting to a tertiary male reproductive health clinic. DNA methylation was measured with the Illumina Infinium array at 27,000 CpG loci. Unsupervised clustering of methylation data differentiated the 21 sperm samples by their motility values. Recursively partitioned mixture modeling (RPMM) of methylation data resulted in four distinct methylation profiles that were significantly associated with sperm motility (P=0.01). Linear models of microarray analysis (LIMMA) was performed based on motility and identified 9,189 CpG loci with significantly altered methylation (Q<0.05) in the low motility samples, with many loci located in genes associated with subfertility and epigenetic regulation. In the low motility samples, the majority of disrupted CpG loci (80%) were hypomethylated. Of the aberrantly methylated CpGs, 194 were associated with imprinted genes almost equally distributed into hypermethylated (predominantly paternally expressed) and hypomethylated (predominantly maternally expressed) groups. Sperm mRNA was measured with the Human Gene 1.0 ST Affymetrix GeneChip Array. LIMMA analysis based on motility identified 20 candidate transcripts as differentially expressed in low motility sperm, including HDAC1 (NCBI 3065), SIRT3 (NCBI 23410), and DNMT3A (NCBI 1788). Altered expression of these epigenetic regulatory genes was associated with RPMM DNA methylation class. CONCLUSIONS: Using integrative genome-wide approaches to study epigenetic and gene expression patterns in human sperm we identified CpG methylation profiles and mRNA alterations associated with low sperm motility, and that low motility sperm may have aberrant genome-wide hypomethylation due to excess HDAC1 activity.
