Project description:In multicellular organisms, heterogametes of oocytes and sperms are fertilized and resulting zygotes give rise to new individuals. The ability of zygotes that produce a fully formed individual from single cell when placed in a supportive environment is defined as totipotency. Given that totipotent cells are the source of all multicellular organisms, better understanding of totipotency has a profound effect on not only biology but also our society. However, the exact distribution of totipotent cells in mammals remains elusive, although zygotes and single blastomeres at 2-cell stage embryos has been thought to be only mouse cells to be totipotent. We now show that a single blastomere isolated from 2- and 4-cell stage embryos gives rise to a fertile adult individual when it placed in a uterus, although isolation of blastomeres at these stage results in the disturbance of transcriptome in single blastomere derived embryos. Single blastomeres from 8-cell and morula stage embryos that were separately cultured in vitro exhibited severe defects in the formation of epiblast and primitive endoderm in the inner cell mass and the development to blastocysts, respectively. Our results thus indicate that totipotency of mouse zygotes extends to single blastomeres of 4-cell stage embryos.

Project description:Seventy blastomeres from fourteen frozen-thawed supernumerary human preimplantation embryos were disassociated and genomic was amplified using Multiple Displacement Amplification. BAC array-CGH was performed on the amplified products. BAC array-CGH on single blastomeres amplified by Multiple Displacement Amplification.

Project description:Chimaerism and mixoploidy define the presence of cell lineages with different parental genomes or different ploidy states in a single individual. Our knowledge on their mechanistic origin results from indirect observations, often when the cell lineages have been subject to rigorous selective pressure during development. Here, we applied haplarithmisis to infer the haplotypes and the copy number of parental genomes in 116 single blastomeres comprising entire preimplantation stage bovine embryos (n=23) following in vitro fertilization. Not only abnormal fertilizations leading to triploid zygotes, but also normally fertilized zygotes can spontaneously segregate entire parental genomes into different cell lineages during cleavage of the zygote. We coin the term “heterogoneic division” to indicate the events leading to non-canonical zygotic cytokinesis segregating the parental genomes into distinct lineages. Persistence of those cell lines during development is the likely cause of chimaerism and mixoploidy in mammals.

Project description:Transcriptomes were determined for all blastomeres of 28 embryos at the 2- (n=8), 4- (n=16) and 8-cell (n=4) stages, and for individual cells taken from 16- (n=6) and 32- (n=6) cell stage embryos. We also carefully monitored the 2- to 4-cell divisions noting whether the cleavage plane was meridional (M, along the Animal-Vegetal (AV) axis marked by the second attached polar body) or equatorial (E, bisecting the AV axis) and the order in which such divisions occurred. This resulted in four groups of 4-cell stage embryos: ME, EM, MM and EE, which were all collected 10 hours after the first 2- to 4-cell division.

Project description:We have examined whether twin blastomeres from 2-cell stage mouse embryos differ in mRNA content. Amplified mRNA from 12 blastomeres derived from six embryos approximately mid-way through their second cell cycle was analyzed. Probes displaying normalized values greater than 0.25 were selected and examined for consistent bias in expression within blastomere pairs. Although transcript content varied both between individual embryos and twin blastomeres, no consistent asymmetries were observed for the majority of genes. On the other hand, 769 genes displayed a greater than 1.4-fold difference in expression across 5 of 6 pairs of blastomeres and 178 genes differed across all 6 pairs. These genes separated into two groups by class discovery clustering. Of the 769 differentially expressed genes, 163 were significantly up- or down-regulated in one sister blastomere compared to the other. Transcripts encoding proteins implicated in RNA processing and cytoskeletal organization were highly represented among the most abundant, differentially distributed mRNA. We conclude that there are many differences that distinguish twin blastomeres derived from a single 2-cell stage embryo but that only a few of these differences are consistent across multiple pairs of embryos. We hypothesize that a stochastically-based lack of synchrony in cell cycle progression between the two cells might explain some or all of the asymmetries in transcript composition.

Project description:Ciona develops according to a stereotyped or invariant lineage. This allowed us to collect precisely defined replicates of all eight blastomeres of the right half of the embryo at the 16-cell stage of Ciona. We manually dissected each embryo, collecting and identifying each cell before library preparation and single-cell RNA-seq to give us a data set of 8 blastomeres x 4 embryos (32 cells). We sequenced these on MiSeq and HiSeq 2500. A fifth embryo was only sequenced on MiSeq and excluded from subsequent analysis.

Project description:Embryonic chromosome aberrations cause birth defects and reduce human fertility. However, neither their nature nor incidence are known. Here, we develop a method to assess genome-wide copy number variation and loss of heterozygosity in single cells and apply it to screen blastomeres from in vitro fertilized preimplantation embryos. Complex patterns of chromosome-arm imbalances or segmental deletions, duplications or amplifications that were reciprocal in sister blastomeres were detected in a large proportion of the embryos. In addition, aneuploidies and uniparental isodisomies were frequently observed. Since these embryos were derived from young fertile couples, the data indicate that chromosomal instability is common to human embryogenesis. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridisation

Project description:Upon 2-cell embryo splitting, individual blastomeres were compared and contrasted with each other respecting pair associations (e.g. blastomere '1a' and '1b' of embryo 1, '2a' and '2b' of embryo 2, and so forth) Transcriptome analysis followed by cluster analysis (Ward) was able to match a minority of the blastomeres with the correct sister blastomere
