摘要： Photoperiod is a pivotal factor in affecting spermatogenesis in seasonal-breeding animals. Transposable elements have regulatory functions during spermatogenesis. However, whether it also functions in photoperiodic spermatogenesis in seasonal breeding animals is unknown. To explore this, we first annotated 5,501,822 transposons in the whole genome of Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii), and revealed that LINEs were the most abundant, comprising 16.61 % of the genome. Following closely, SINEs accounted for 10.13 %, LTRs for 7.54 %, and DNA transposons for 0.70 %. Subsequently, we exposed male Brandt's voles to long-photoperiod (LP, 16 h/day) and short-photoperiod (SP, 8 h/day) from their embryonic stages, and obtained testes transcriptome at 4 and 10 weeks after birth. Differential expression and Pearson analysis indicated strongly positive correlations between the expression of differentially expressed retrotransposons and the adjacent genes. KO, KEGG and GSEA results showed that sperm flagellar genes were most enriched nearby the retrotransposons such as Dnah1, Dnah2, Dnah17, Dnali1. RT-PCR results showed that SINE/Alu_1213291 co-transcripted with Dnali1 gene. Our findings first reveal the regulatory function of transposons in photoperiodic spermatogenesis, providing insights into the role of photoperiod in seasonal reproduction in wild animals.
