Project description:Chromatin packaging in sperm protects it against DNA fragmentation, and the importance of proper chromatin packaging for boar fertility outcome has become increasingly evident. Little is known however about the molecular mechanisms underlying differences in sperm DNA fragmentation and an understanding of the genes controlling this sperm parameter could help in selecting the best boars for AI use. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes in testis of Norsvin Landrace and Duroc boars with good and bad sperm DNA fragmentation using transcriptome sequencing and to use the data for polymorphism search. RNA sequence reads were obtained using Illumina technology and mapped by TopHat using the Ensembl pig database. Differentially expressed genes and pathways were analyzed using the R Bioconductor packages edgeR and goseq respectively. Using a false discovery rate of 0.05, 309 and 375 genes were found displaying significant differences in expression level between the good and bad condition in Landrace and Duroc respectively. Of the differentially expressed genes, 72 were found in common for the two breeds. Gene ontology analysis revealed that terms common for the two breeds included extracellular matrix, extracellular region and calcium ion binding. Additionally, different metabolic processes were enriched in Landrace and Duroc, whereas immune response ontologies were found to be important in Landrace. SNP detection in Landrace/Duroc identified 53182/53931 variants in 10924/10748 transcripts and of these, 1573/1827 SNPs occurred in 189/241 unique genes that were also differentially expressed. Possible high impact variants were detected using SnpEff. Transcriptome sequencing identified differentially expressed genes and nucleotide variants related to differences in sperm DNA fragmentation, and functional annotation of the genes pointed towards important biochemical pathways. This study provides insights into the genetic network underlying this trait and is a first step towards using sperm DNA fragmentation for predicting boar fertility.

Project description:In this study, differentially expressed (DE)piRNAs of fresh and frozen-thawed sperm with different freeze tolerance compacity from giant panda and boar were evaluated. The results showed 1160 (22 down-regulated and 1138 up-regulated) and 384 (110 up-regulated and 274 down-regulated) differentially expressed (DE) piRNAs were identified in giant panda and boar sperm, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that the target DE mRNAs of DE piRNAs were mainly enriched in biological regulation, cellular process and metabolic process in giant panda and boar sperm. Moreover, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that the target DE mRNAs of DE piRNAs were only distributed on DNA replication and cAMP signaling pathway in giant panda, but cAMP, cGMP and MAPK signaling pathway in boar sperm which were considered as part of olfactory transduction pathway.Conclusion:Olfactory transduction related pathways maybe contributed to different freeze tolerance compacity between giant panda and boar sperm, which will benefit to further understand the molecular mechanism of sperm cryoinjury and freezability.

Project description:In present study, we first tried to reveal the transcriptome-wide m6A methylation pattern in boar fresh sperm (Fs) and frozen-thawed sperm (Fts) through MeRIP-seq, which demonstrates occurrence the diverse m6A modification patterns during cryopreservation. Results: the expression of m6A modification enzymes were significantly dysregulated in sperm during cryopreservation. Furthermore, the m6A peaks were mainly enriched in coding regions and near stop codons with classical RRACH motifs. In Fts, a total of 1754 differentially methylated m6A genes containing 1928 differentially methylated peaks were identified as compared to Fs. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the role of these genes containing significantly altered m6A peaks (DMMGs) were significantly enriched in terms of metabolism and transcription, as well as a number of DMMGs were annotated to ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, AMPK, mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways. Furthermore, the joint analysis of DMMGs and differentially expressed genes indicated that both of these play a vital role in sperm energy metabolism and apoptosis. Conclusion: Our study is first to reveal the dynamic m6A modification in mRNAs of boar sperm during cryopreservation, and provides a new evidence regarding the potential roles of m6A in modulating sperm motility, apoptosis and metabolism.

Project description:This proteomic study provides the major characterization of a complex and diverse protein composition of the boar SP-proteome with more than 250 proteins first reported. This proteomic profiling allows the creation of a publicly accessible database of the boar SP-proteome, as a first step for further understanding the role of SP-proteins in reproductive outcomes as well as for identification of biomarkers for sperm quality and fertility.

Project description:Various environmental factors contribute to dysregulated spermatogenic gene network, abnormal spermatogenesis, and eventually impaired sperm fertility. 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxoG) is the most common and well-studied oxidative DNA lesion of the four DNA bases and unrepaired 8-oxoG modifications are associated with DNA fragmentation in sperms. However, the molecular effects of 8-oxoG generated in sperm DNA by oxidative stress on spermatogenesis are not entirely understood. Here, we identified one infertile Korean native striped cattle at 6-year old (C14) due to asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia. We compared global concentration of 8-oxoG by reverse-phase liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (RP-LC/MS), the genomic distribution of 8-oxoG by next-generation sequencing (OG-seq), and expression of sperm proteins by 2-dimensional electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry (2D/MS) in sperms of C14 with those of normal counterpart (C13). We found that averaged levels of 8-oxoG in C13 and C14 sperms were 0.027% and 0.044% of total dG and 8-oxoG was significantly greater in infertile sperm DNA (p = 0.0028). More than 81% of the 8-oxoG loci were distributed around the transcription start site (TSS) and 8-oxoG harboring 165 genes, including phospholipases, were annotated exclusively into infertile sperm DNA. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and the protein-protein interaction networking revealed that the Golgi apparatus was significantly enriched with the 8-oxoG genes of infertile sperm (q = 2.20E-07). Proteomic analysis verified that acrosome-related proteins including Acrosin-binding protein (ACRBP) and Sperm equatorial segment protein 1 (SPESP1) were 1.6-fold and 2.6-fold down-regulated in infertile sperm, respectively. These results suggest that 8-oxoG formation during spermatogenesis would dysregulate the acrosome-related gene network, causing structural and functional defects of sperm, leading to infertility.
