Project description:Epigenetic regulation of gene transcription may play a critical role in the onset of puberty. Previous studies have confirmed that methylation regulates gene transcription in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis during puberty initiation, but little is known about the regulation of DNA methylation on gene expression in the pineal gland. This study aims to screen pineal gland candidate genes related to the onset of goat puberty and regulated by genome methylation, to clarify the initiation mechanism of goat puberty and lay the foundation for improving goat reproductive performance. Pineal gland was collected from three female Anhui white goats during prepuberty (2.5 to 3.0 mo) and three during puberty (4.0 to 4.5 mo). Genome-wide hydrogen sulfite sequencing determined the DNA methylation profile, while RNA sequencing determined the transcriptome. The relationship between gene transcription and DNA methylation was determined by joint analysis. We found that there was no significant change in the whole genome methylation level of goat pineal gland before and after puberty, but the methylation pattern changed significantly, indicating that genomic DNA methylation of the pineal gland may be involved in regulating goat puberty initiation. Changes in DNA methylation patterns affected some pineal gland transcriptomes, while the transcriptional level of most genes was not affected by DNA methylation differences. Genes regulated by DNA methylation were mainly involved in metabolic processes, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and signaling pathways related to thermogenesis. The differential genes ATP5F1D, CACNB2, and PTEN were significantly regulated by methylation, and the difference multiples of LIN28B, GIP, OPN1SW, and DCC were the most significant, possibly involved in puberty initiation.

Project description:To better understand the epigenetic mechanism underlying pubertal onset, the hypothalamic genome-wide chromatin accessibility patterns in mouse arcuate nucleus at early and late pubertal stages were explored. Female mice have been widely used in multiple studies on pubertal development as they present the similar molecular behaviors in HPG axis and stable cycles of menstrual calendar like human. Hypothalamic ARC underwent a huge epigenetic and genetic reprogramming to adapt to the response and feedback on sexual hormones during the stages of early pubertal (2-5-week of age) and late puberty (5-8-week of age) . We harvested 4- and 8-week hypothalamic ARC and employed ATAC-seq on a genome-wide scale. Combined with previous RRBS, RRHP and RNA-seq, the connections between DNA (hydroxyl)methylation in retroelements and gene expression were studied, emphasizing the importance of epigenetic alterations in regulating transcription in puberty onset.

Project description:Puberty is a special transition period in sexual maturation, and it has been extensively studied in vertebrates in the past decades. In mammals, the initiation of puberty involves activation of numerous genes; however, there have been few comprehensive reports in small model teleosts such as the zebrafish. In the zebrafish, the onset of puberty in females is marked by the appearance of the first wave of pre-vitellogenic (PV) follicles in the ovary during sexual maturation. Using transcriptomics and real-time qPCR, this study was undertaken to investigate temporal gene expression differences between the primary growth (PG) follicles and pre-vitellogenic (PV) follicles, with particular emphasis on oocyte and follicular cell specific genes as well as several closely associated signaling pathways. Our results showed that totally 1082 genes were significantly upregulated and 530 evidently downregulated during the PG-PV transition, and among them were some well recognized biomarkers such as cyp19a1a, fshr, inha and inhbaa and some novel genes like notch3, amh, gadd45ga and lpl. Further gene ontology analysis showed that egg coat formation and steroid hormone mediated signaling pathway might be critical for follicle activation from PG to PV stage. In addition, KEGG identified several signaling pathways that might play pivotal roles in early folliculogenesis, including phosphatidylinositol signaling system, glycolsaminoglycan biosynthesis, RNA transport, and p53 signaling pathways. Overall, this study reported a comprehensive analysis for biomarker genes and potential pathways involved in PG-PV transition or follicle activation, which also marks female puberty onset in the zebrafish when occurring for the first time in sexual maturation.

We identified a large number of differential expressed genes (DEGs) and differential 5(h)mC signals across the whole genome. We discovered novel connections between DNA (hydroxyl)methylated modification and gene expression, emphasizing the importance of epigenetic alterations in regulating transcription in puberty onset.

Project description:Animals in transport are exposed to both psychological and physical stressors, which affect performance and health. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether and how the transportation stress effect on female reproduction in mice, and detect differentially expressed genes association with stress response and reproductive capacity utilizing gene expression profiles. After transported mice by car to and from laboratory for a total period of 10 h, nearly 1000 km distance, measurements were carried out to explore effects of transportation stress on reproductive traits including puberty, estrous cycle, follicular number within ovaries, fertility and superovulation quality. Early life stress suffered mice before puberty promoted puberty onset, altered estrous cycle length and reduced large antral follicle number. Pubertal and adult mice exposure to transportation stress induced their pregnancy rate decline. Furthermore, adult stressed mice showed an obvious reduction in fertility with less litter size and litter weight in birth, which may cause reduced ovulation oocytes identified by superovulation. Assuming ovulated oocytes number as reproductive parameter, genes differently expressed between mice with extremely high and extremely low oocytes were compared within control and stress group separately.

Project description:To evaluate the long-term growth potential of BCR-ABL-transduced primitive human hematopoietic cells, lin- cord blood cells containing an MSCV-BCR-ABL-IRES-GFP (BCR-ABL) or control-GFP transgene (MIG) were injected IP into fetal goats at 45-55 days of gestation. Six transplant goats were born alive. One was examined three weeks after birth and showed GFP+ cells in the blood, bone marrow (BM), liver, kidney, lung, heart, and both skeletal and smooth muscle. FISH analysis also showed the liver of this goat contained BCR-ABL-GFP transgenic cells. The remaining five goats appear normal although, in some, the WBC count is elevated 3- to 5-fold. GFP+ cells, including cells identifiable by FACS as human CD34+ cells, have been detected in the blood of all these goats. The presence of BCR-ABL-GFP transgenic cells in the BM and liver was confirmed by FISH analysis, and quantitative real-time PCR analysis of genomic DNA isolated from unpurified BM cells obtained from three of the transplant goats demonstrated 3-5Ã104 copies of the transgene per microgram of DNA. Microarray transcript profiling was performed on blood and liver tissues of normal goats, BCR-ABL chimeric goats, MIG chimeric goats, and normal human samples. RNA for human genes was detected in goats transplanted with cord blood cells but not in normal goats, and the RNA abundance of some genes in BCR-ABL chimeric goat blood was similar to or greater than levels observed in MIG goat blood or normal human samples. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed the differential expression of several genes in goats carrying the BCR-ABL vs. control transgene. These results demonstrate long-term engraftment but slow expansion in a large animal model of primitive human hematopoietic cells transduced with a BCR-ABL fusion gene and transplanted in utero. This novel xenotransplant goat model should be useful for analyzing the initial phases of development of human CML and for assessing new therapies with potential long-term benefits. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from liver (L) and blood (B) samples of normal goats (ng), humans (hu), chimeric goats engrafted with human cord blood stem cells containing control (mig) vector, and chimeric goats engrafted with CML (bcrabl) vector. RNA samples were profiled on Affymetrix human U133A GeneChips and examined for differentially expressed genes in CML vs control goats, filtering for signals significantly above background levels observed in normal goat to select for specific human gene expression.
