The landscape of mitochondrial small non-coding RNAs in the PGCs of male mice, spermatogonia, gametes and in zygotes.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Mitochondria are organelles that fulfill a fundamental role in cell bioenergetics, as well as in other processes like cell signaling and death. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNA) are now being considered as pivotal post-transcriptional regulators, widening the landscape of their diversity and functions. In mammalian cells, small RNAs encoded by the mitochondrial genome, mitosRNAs were discovered recently, although their biological role remains uncertain. RESULTS:Here, using specific bioinformatics analyses, we have defined the diversity of mitosRNAs present in early differentiated germ cells of male mice (PGCs and spermatogonia), and in the gametes of both sexes and in zygotes. We found strong transcription of mitosRNAs relative to the size of the mtDNA, and classifying these mitosRNAs into different functional sncRNA groups highlighted the predominance of Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) relative to the other types of mitosRNAs. Mito-piRNAs were more abundant in oocytes and zygotes, where mitochondria fulfill key roles in fecundation process. Functional analysis of some particular mito-piRNAs (mito-piR-7,456,245), also expressed in 3T3-L1 cells, was assessed after exposure to RNA antagonists. CONCLUSIONS:As far as we are aware, this is the first integrated analysis of sncRNAs encoded by mtDNA in germ cells and zygotes. The data obtained suggesting that mitosRNAs fulfill key roles in gamete differentiation and fertilization.
