Project description:In order to identify small RNAs that are enriched in T-cell extracellular vesicles (EVs) upon T cell activation in a nSMase-dependent manner, we used a two-step ultracentrifugation procedure to isolate EVs released by T cells followed by small RNA profiling of EVs and T cells under resting, stimulated conditions and stimulated conditions in the presence of the vehicle control, DMSO, or nSMase inhibitor, GM4869.

Project description:Parental dietary conditions can influence the metabolic traits of offspring. In mice, paternal consumption of low protein diet alters cholesterol and lipid metabolism of progeny. Here, we examine RNA species expressed in male reproductive tissues of mice. Protein restriction leads to altered levels of multiple small RNAs in mature sperm, as well as throughout the male reproductive tract, with decreased levels of let-7 family members and increased levels of 5â fragments of tRNA-Gly isoacceptors. Intriguingly, tRNA fragments are scarce in the testis, but their levels increase in sperm during post-testicular maturation in the epididymis. We find that epididymosomes â extracellular vesicles which fuse with sperm during epididymal transit â exhibit RNA payloads closely matching those of mature sperm, and can deliver tRNA fragments to immature sperm in vitro both in mouse and in bull. Finally, we show that tRNA-Gly-GCC fragments play a role in repressing genes associated with the endogenous retroelement MERVL, both in ES cells and in preimplantation embryos. Our results shed light on small RNA biogenesis during post-testicular sperm maturation, and link tRNA fragments to regulation of endogenous retroelements active in the early embryo. Small RNA (<40nt) profile of various tissues and cells was examined by deep sequencing

E14 mESCs were transfected with LNA-containing oligos antisense to tRF-GG or GFP-esiRNA as control, then either total RNA was isolated or 80S ribosomes were isolated from Rnase-digested whole cell lysate, and footprints between 26-32nt were collected for ribosome profiling library construction using a kit-free protocol based on Heyer et al. 2015 NAR.

Zygotes were generated by ICSI from oocytes/females fed a Control diet and sperm/males fed either a Control or Low Protein diet. The sperm was isolated from either the Rete testis or the Cauda epididymis and injected either as a whole sperm or just the sperm head. Following fertilization by ICSI the zygotes developed for 28 hours (2C stage) and were harvested for single-embryo RNA-Seq.

Zygotes were generated by IVF from animals fed a control diet. These embryos were then microinjected with various combinations of small RNAs and control RNA (HIS3.3::GFP). Follwoing injections the zygotes were developed and allowed to develop until 2 cell (2C) or 4 cell (4C) stage when single embryo RNA seq was carried out to study gene expression changes
