Project description:To identify if the patterns of spermatic small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are affected by paternal age and/or impact early embryogenesis, we generated sncRNAs libraries of sperm collected from same bulls at 10, 12, and 16 months of age, using 16 months as control for differential expression and functional analysis. miRNAs present in measurable quantity in oocytes were excluded. Of the remaining miRNAs, ten sperm-borne miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in younger bulls (four in the 10 vs 16 months contrast and six in the 12 vs 16 months contrast). Targets of miRNAs were identified and compared to the transcriptomic database of two-cell embryos, to genes related to two-cell competence, and to the transcriptomic database of blastocysts. Ingenuity pathway analysis of the targets of these miRNAs suggested potential influence on the developmental competence of two-cell embryos and on metabolism and protein synthesis in blastocysts. The results showed that miRNA patterns in sperm are affected by the age of the bull and may mediate the effects of paternal age on early embryonic development.

Project description:BackgroundSperm miRNAs were reported to regulate spermatogenesis and early embryonic development in some mammals including bovine. The dairy cattle breeding industry now tends to collect semen from younger bulls under high selection pressure at a time when semen quality may be suboptimal compared to adult bulls. Whether the patterns of spermatic miRNAs are affected by paternal age and/or impact early embryogenesis is not clear. Hence, we generated small non-coding RNA libraries of sperm collected from same bulls at 10, 12, and 16 months of age, using 16 months as control for differential expression and functional analysis.ResultsWe firstly excluded all miRNAs present in measurable quantity in oocytes according to the literature. Of the remaining miRNAs, ten sperm-borne miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in younger bulls (four in the 10 vs 16 months contrast and six in the 12 vs 16 months contrast). Targets of miRNAs were identified and compared to the transcriptomic database of two-cell embryos, to genes related to two-cell competence, and to the transcriptomic database of blastocysts. Ingenuity pathway analysis of the targets of these miRNAs suggested potential influence on the developmental competence of two-cell embryos and on metabolism and protein synthesis in blastocysts.ConclusionsThe results showed that miRNA patterns in sperm are affected by the age of the bull and may mediate the effects of paternal age on early embryonic development.

Project description:In the present study, we analyzed the proteome profile of Simmental bull sperm using LC-MS/MS. We found that the proteomes in sperm varied significantly between age groups, with some proteins found only in the older age group and not in the productive age group (young) and vice versa.

Project description:Embryo development, In vitro fertilization, Bull fertility, Polyspermy, Proteomics Project description: The correlation between sperm traits, fertilization and embryonic development outcomes were investigated by means of functional in vitro assays and mass spectrometry-based proteomics experiments. Spermatozoa from four independent bulls, as well as approx.. 20 cells at 2-cell embryonic stages and full blastocysts (approx. 250 cells) derived from in vitro fertilization of oocytes with spermatozoa from these foru bulls were analyzed by MS-based proteomics.

Project description:Prediction of male or semen fertility potential remains a persistent challenge that has yet to be fully resolved. This work analyzed several in vitro parameters and proteome of spermatozoa in bulls cataloged as high (HF; n=5) and low field (LF; n=5) fertility after more than a thousand artificial inseminations. Sperm motility was evaluated by Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis. Sperm viability, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and reactive oxygen species (mROS) of spermatozoa were assessed by flow cytometry. Proteome was evaluated by SWATH-MS procedure. Spermatozoa of HF bulls showed significantly higher total motility than the LF group (41.4% vs. 29.7%). Rates of healthy sperm (live, high MMP, and low mROS) for HF and LF bull groups were 49% and 43%, respectively (p > 0.05). Spermatozoa of HF bulls showed higher presence of differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) related to both energy production (COX7C), mainly OXPHOS pathway, and to the development of structures linked with the motility process (TPPP2, SSMEM1 and SPAG16). Furthermore, we observed that EQTN, together with other DAPs related to the interaction with the oocyte, were overrepresented in HF bull spermatozoa. The biological processes related to protein processing, catabolism, and protein folding were found to be overrepresented in LF bull sperm in which the HSP90AA1 chaperone was identified as the most DAP

Project description:Pregnancy rates for elite bulls used in artificial insemination (AI) can vary significantly and therefore the identification of molecular markers for bull fertility and targets to improve bull selection is important. β-defensins are peptides with diverse regulatory roles in sperm function across multiple species. To explore the functional impact of DEFB103 CNV on the uterine response in vivo, 18 heifers were inseminated with sperm from bulls categorized by low, intermediate, and high CN levels. Transcriptomic analysis of uterine tissue collected 12 hours after insemination revealed significant differential expression of 58 genes (FDR<0.1) related to sperm migration, immune signaling, and chemotaxis. These findings highlight the significant role of DEFB103 CN in both sperm function and the uterine response to bull sperm, suggesting its potential influence on pregnancy outcomes in cattle.

Project description:Purpose: Screening the sperm sncRNAs that are responsible for dairy cattle fertility is of great interest, however, exploring the fertility-associated sncRNAs in sperm and linking them with the epigenetic inheritance in bovine has not been performed yet. Here in this study, we hypothesized that some sncRNAs in bovine sperm have a great potential to be linked with direct and immediate bull fertility data and could later influence the embryo and possibly impacting the daughter fertility. Methods: 12 bovine cryopreserved semen (high bull fertility, n=3 VS low bull fertility, n=3; high daughter fertility, n=3 vs low daughter fertility, n=3) that came from a pre-filtered 100 bull list (Figure 1) had been selected to extract total sperm RNA, the somatic cell lysis buffer had been added during the RNA extraction process to avoid the somatic cell pollution. The maternal and other confounding factors had been taken into consideration during the calculation of the phenotype criteria index.After the library construction, the library size that was smaller than 200 base pairs (adapter size around 125 nt) had been cut and sent for next-generation sequencing Results: bull fertility and daughter fertility related sncRNAs had been identified. Conclusions: providing promising epigenetic biomarker for cattle fertility improvement in the future, although these small non-coding RNAs need to be validated in larger sample sizes before being used as biomarkers.

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. 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
