RNA-Seq to identify germline stem cell-enriched genes and cystoblast-enriched genes and BMP targeted genes

Project description:We sequenced the transcriptomes of genetically expanded stem cells that either experience high levels of BMP signalling (expression of constitutively active BMPR, tkvQD.) or low levels (expression of shRNA again the differentiation promoting factor bam). We also sequenced RNA from differentiating daughter cells (cystoblasts) isolated through the expression of bam.GFP. We then performed a differential expression analysis. Our aim was to identify germline stem cell-enriched gene and cystoblast-enriched genes by tkvQD vs bam-GFP. We also wished to identify possible BMP target genes by comparing tkvQD and bam.shRNA. We have subsequently taken a few of the genes identified and validated their roles in germline stem cell self-renewal and differentiation in vivo.

E2F6 initiates stable epigenetic silencing of germline genes during embryonic development

Project description:In mouse development, long-term silencing by CpG island DNA methylation is specifically targeted to germline genes, however the molecular mechanisms of this specificity remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that the transcription factor E2F6, a member of the polycomb repressive complex 1.6 (PRC1.6), is critical to target and initiate epigenetic silencing at germline genes in early embryogenesis. Genome-wide, E2F6 binds preferentially to CpG islands in embryonic cells. E2F6 cooperates with MGA to silence a subgroup of germline genes in mouse embryonic stem cells and in vivo, a function that critically depends on the E2F6 marked box domain. Inactivation of E2f6 leads to a failure to deposit CpG island DNA methylation at these genes during implantation. Furthermore, E2F6 is required to initiate epigenetic silencing in early embryonic cells but becomes dispensable for the maintenance in differentiated cells. Our findings elucidate the mechanisms of epigenetic targeting of germline genes and provide a paradigm for how transient repression signals by DNA-binding factors in early embryonic cells are translated into long term epigenetic silencing during mammalian development.

Systematic identification of factors involved in the silencing of germline genes in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:In mammals, many germline genes are repressed by epigenetic mechanisms to prevent their illegitimate expression in embryonic and somatic cells. To advance our understanding of the complete mechanisms restricting the expression of germline genes in mammals, we analyzed the chromatin signature of germline genes and performed a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knock-out screen for genes involved in germline gene repression using a reporter system in which GFP is under the control of the epigenetically repressed Dazl germline promoter in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We showed that the repression of germline genes mainly depends on the polycomb complex PRC1.6 and DNA methylation, which function additively in mouse ESCs. Furthermore, we identified and validated several novel genes involved in the repression of germline genes, and characterized three of them: Usp7, Shfm1 (also known as Sem1) and Erh. Inactivation of Usp7, Shfm1 or Erh led to the upregulation of germline genes, as well as retrotransposons for Shfm1, in mouse ESCs. Functionally, Usp7 acts at two levels: firstly it associates with PRC1.6 components and represses germline genes independently of DNA methylation, and secondly it facilitates DNA methylation deposition at germline genes for long term repression. In summary, our study provides a global view of the epigenetic mechanisms and novel factors required for silencing germline genes in embryonic cells.

Defining soma-specific/enriched and germline-specific/enriched transcripts

Project description:To define what genes are predominantly or specifically expressed in either soma or germline in C. elegans adults, total RNA was extracted from germline-less glp-4 mutant animals or from dissected gonads, respectively.

A Xenopus DNA microarray approach to identify novel direct BMP target genes involved in early embryonic development

Project description:Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs), a subgroup of the TGF-beta superfamily, were originally isolated from bone on the basis of their ability to induce ectopic bone development. While BMPs are involved in a wide range of developmental and physiological functions, very few vertebrate target genes in this pathway have been identified. To identify target genes regulated by the BMP growth factor family in Xenopus, large-scale microarray analyses were conducted to discover genes directly activated by this factor in dissociated animal cap tissues treated with a combination of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and BMP2. Keywords = Xenopus Keywords = BMP Keywords = microarray Keywords = development Keywords = target genes Keywords: parallel sample

Targeted Next-generation Sequencing Panel for Identification of Germline Mutations in Early Onset Cancers With Sporadic or Hereditary Presentation

Project description:Despite relevant clinical and/or familial presentations suggesting a hereditary predisposition (early-onset, multiple primary tumors, familial aggregation), targeted genomic analysis based on the phenotype are often non contributive. As somatic cancer genes are limited, the hypothesis is that the targeted next-generation sequencing of 200 genes, selected for their implications in cancers may contribute to the understanding of many selected patients’ presentation by the identification of germline deleterious mutations, and may identified phenotype overlapping and/or mosaicisms. The focus will be put on early-onset breast, ovarian, colorectal cancer or pediatric cancers and multiple primary tumors.

Bmp-regulated cardiac genes in zebrafish

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify genes that are regulated by Bmp signaling with the zebrafish heart at the heart cone stage around 21-23 hours post fertilization. In total, 4 samples based on cDNA from extracted cardiac tissue were analyzed: 2 samples of Tg(hsp70l:bmp2b)fr13 transgenic embryos heatshocked at 18 hpf and 2 WT control samples.
