Project description:Using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), we profiled 18 DNA methylomes of cattle sperms that were collected from 18 representative age-matched Holstein bulls with high reliable phenotypes on many complex traits, including sire-conception rate (SCR), gestation length (GL), sire calving ease (SCE), cow conception rate (CCR) and body depth (BDE). Through comparison with human sperm methylome, we observed that genomic regions with differetial DNA methylation levels were enriched for GWAS signals and had important evolutionary impact. By comparing animals with extreme SCR, we showed that differentially methylated regions (DMR) associated with SCR and aging were significantly and selectively enriched for GWAS signals of male fertility traits in cattle. In addition, we detected ans compared DMRs assocaited with GL, CCR, SCE and BDE. We integrated GWAS signals of 37 complex traits with DMRs associated with GL to provide insights into genetic basis of GL.

Project description:5-methylcytosine is a major epigenetic modification sometimes called "the fifth nucleotide". However, our knowledge of how offspring inherit the DNA methylome from parents is limited. We generated nine single-base resolution DNA methylomes including zebrafish gametes and early embryos. The oocyte methylome is significantly hypo-methylated compared to sperm. Strikingly, the paternal DNA methylation pattern is maintained throughout early embryogenesis. The maternal DNA methylation pattern is maintained until the 16-cell stage. Then, the oocyte methylome is gradually discarded through cell division, and progressively reprogrammed to a pattern similar to that of the sperm methylome. The passive demethylation rate and the de novo methylation rate are similar in the maternal DNA. By the midblastula stage, the embryo?s methylome is virtually identical to the sperm methylome. Moreover, inheritance of the sperm methylome facilitates the epigenetic regulation of embryogenesis. Therefore, besides DNA sequences, sperm DNA methylome is also inherited in zebrafish early embryos. hMeDIP-seq is performed in sperm,2-cell,16-cell,1k-cell and a input control sample 4 new samples are added to GSE44075. RNA-seq is performed in sperm, egg,1k-cell, germring samples .hMeDIP-seq is performed in sperm,2-cell,16-cell,1k-cell and a input control sample 10 new samples are added to GSE44075. Bisulfite-seq is performed for nine samples : sperm, egg,16-cell,32-cell,64-cell,128-cell,1k-cell , Germring and testis. TAB-seq is performed for one sample , 32-cell.

Project description:Aim: To characterize the sperm methylome in semen samples from 19 donors with proven fertility. Material and Methods: Bisulfite-converted sperm DNA was hybridized on the HumanMethylation450 Infinium BeadChip platform. CpG fluorescence-intensities were extracted and converted to β-values. Results: The sperm methylome is highly homogeneous and hypomethylated. Genes with hypomethylated promoters are ontologically associated to biological functions related to spermatogenesis and embryogenesis. Sex-chromosomes are the most hypomethylated chromosomes, supporting data that indicated their essential role in spermatogenesis. Ninety-four genes are resistant to demethylation, being strong candidates for transgenerational inheritance. Conclusion: Spermatozoa carry a homogeneous methylation profile that is a footprint of past events (spermatogenesis), is designed to facilitate future events (embryogenesis), and has a possible influence in the adult life (transgenerational effects).

Project description:The average age of fatherhood has increased in recent years. Various genetic diseases are also known to be more likely in children with older fathers. This leads to a need to investigate age-related changes to the sperm DNA. The sperm methylome can be used to accurately predict fertility and embryo viability, and it also changes continuously with age. To date, most population studies that investigate age-related changes to the sperm methylome use microarrays, which are less expensive but, compared to sequencing-based approaches, investigate the methylome at much lower spatial resolution.

Project description:A majority of the cases of primary male infertility are idiopathic with the underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology as yet unknown. Effects of the environment can alter the sperm epigenome thereby impacting male reproduc-tive health. Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial to understanding health and disease, and methylome alterations are now known to have far-reaching clinical implications. Here, we report the results from our pilot study, a first of its kind analysis of the ef-fect of the traditional practice of yoga on human sperm quality. We find marked im-provement in sperm characteristics in patients of idiopathic male infertility following asupervised21-dayyogaregimen.Furthermore,next-generationsequencing-basedmethylome analysis reveals alterations in the sperm epigenome of these patients. We find that the practice of yoga is associated with DNA methylation changes at nearly 400 genes, 147 of which were hypermethylated while 229 were hypomethyl-ated. These included promoters of several genes linked to maintenance of fertility and genomic integrity. This novel piece of work draws a direct link between positive lifestyle practices and male reproductive health.

Project description:Epidemiological studies suggest that a father’s diet can influence offspring health. A proposed mechanism for paternal transmission of environmental information is via the sperm epigenome. The epigenome includes heritable information such as DNA methylation. We hypothesized that the dietary supply of methyl donors would alter epigenetic reprogramming in sperm. This hypothesis was examined by feeding male mice a folate deficient (FD) and folate sufficient (FS) diets and then generating and analyzing DNA methylation profiles of their sperm. C57BL/6 males were fed either the FS or FD diet throughout life (FS, n=32; FD, n=35; 2-3 month old). Pooled gene promoter DNA methylation profiles were generated from the sperm of three FS males and four FD males using the method of MeDIP (Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation) followed by microarray hybridization.

Project description:Paternal exposure to a range of environmental and lifestyle factors elicits distinct changes to the sperm sncRNA profile; modifications that have significant post-fertilization consequences. Despite this knowledge, there remains limited mechanistic understanding of how paternal exposures effect the sperm sncRNA landscape. Here, we report the acute sensitivity of the sperm sncRNA profile to the potent reproductive toxicant, acrylamide. Further, we traced the differential accumulation of acrylamide responsive sncRNAs to coincide with sperm transit of the proximal (caput) segment of the epididymis, wherein acrylamide exposure altered the expression of several transcription factors implicated in the expression of acrylamide-sensitive sncRNAs. We also identified extracellular vesicles secreted from the caput epithelium in relaying altered sncRNA profiles to maturing spermatozoa, the implications of which manifest in the form of dysregulated gene expression during early embryonic development. These data provide a causative mechanistic link to account for how environmental insults can alter the sperm epigenome and compromise the transcriptomic profile of early embryos
