Project description:Whereas cloning mammals by direct somatic cell nuclear transfer has been successful using a wide range of donor cell types, neurons from adult brain remain M-bM-^@M-^\unclonableM-bM-^@M-^] for unknown reasons. Here we examined whether neurons from adult mice could be cloned, using a combination of two epigenetic approaches. First, we used a specific antibody to discover cell types with reduced amounts of a repressive histone mark - dimethylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me2) - and identified CA1 pyramidal cells in the hippocampus and Purkinje cells in the cerebellum as candidates. Second, reconstructed embryos were treated with trichostatin A (TSA), a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor. Using CA1 cells, cloned offspring were obtained at high rates, reaching 10.2% and 4.6% (per embryos transferred) for male and female donors, respectively. Cerebellar Purkinje cell nuclei were too large to maintain their genetic integrity during nuclear transfer, leading to developmental arrest of embryos. However, gene expression analysis using cloned blastocysts corroborated a high rate of genomic reprogrammability of CA1 pyramidal and Purkinje cells. Neurons from the hippocampal dentate gyrus and cerebral cortex, which had higher amounts of H3K9me2, could also be used for producing cloned offspring, but the efficiencies were low. A more thorough analysis revealed that TSA treatment was essential for cloning adult neuronal cells. This study demonstrated for the first time that adult neurons could be cloned by nuclear transfer. Furthermore, our data imply that reduced amounts of H3K9me2 and increased histone acetylation appear to act synergistically to improve the development of cloned embryos. Comparative gene expression analyses using blastocysts of cloned embryos were performed by microarray. Cloned embryos were produced with three different types of donor cells (neonatal Sertoli cells, CA1 pyramidal cells and Purkinje cells) and all cloned embryos were treated with Trichostatin A (TSA). Each embryos were cultured for 96 h and blastocysts derived from each donor cell types were subjected to gene expression microarray. For comparison of gene expression, the data sets of control sex- and genotype-matched embryos produced by in vitro fertilization and SCNT-derived blastocysts from cumulus cells treated with TSA from our previous paper (Inoue K. et al. Science 2010) were also used.

Project description:The trophectoderm epithelium is the first differentiated cell layer to arise during mammalian development. Blastocyst formation requires the proper expression and localization of tight junction, polarity, ion gradient and H2O channel proteins in the outer cell membranes. However, the underlying transcriptional mechanisms that control their expression are largely unknown. Here, we report that transcription factor AP-2? (Tcfap2c) is a core regulator of blastocyst formation in mice. Bioinformatics, chromatin immunoprecipitation and transcriptional analysis revealed that Tcfap2c binds and regulates a diverse group of genes expressed during blastocyst formation. RNA interference experiments demonstrated that Tcfap2c regulates genes important for tight junctions, cell polarity and fluid accumulation. Functional and ultrastructural studies revealed that Tcfap2c is necessary for tight junction assembly and paracellular sealing in trophectoderm epithelium. Aggregation of control eight-cell embryos with Tcfap2c knockdown embryos rescued blastocyst formation via direct contribution to the trophectoderm epithelium. Finally, we found that Tcfap2c promotes cellular proliferation via direct repression of p21 transcription during the morula-to-blastocyst transition. We propose a model in which Tcfap2c acts in a hierarchy to facilitate blastocyst formation through transcriptional regulation of core genes involved in tight junction assembly, fluid accumulation and cellular proliferation.

Project description:A long-standing question in developmental and reproductive biology is when the mammalian embryo becomes sufficiently distinct from its oocyte precursor. Myriads of studies examined the messenger RNAs that change during the oocyte-to-embryo transition, whereas proteins have been much less studied, in spite of their greater vicinity to phenotype. In the present study we modified the widely used embryo culture medium KSOM (PMID 12470333, PMID 10859270) to make it apt for our application. We replaced the serum albumin with polyvinylpyrrolidone and also replaced the natural Arginine and Lysine with their “heavy” isotopic variants Arginine 13C 15N and Lysine 13C 15N. Fertilized oocytes were retrieved from oviducts of gonadotropin-primed B6C3F1 females mated to CD1 males, and cultured at 37 degrees Celsius under 5% CO2 in KSOM containing 0.3 mM Arginine 13C 15N and 0.2 mM Lysine 13C 15N, which are the regular concentrations of these two amino acids in KSOM medium (PMID 12470333; PMID 10859270). After 4 days of culture, the embryos of the isotopic group had undergone blastocyst formation just like the control embryos cultured in normal medium. Samples of approx. 500 “heavy”-labeled blastocysts were collected zona-free and subjected to mass spectrometric analysis. The median labeling rate was 83%, ranging from 0% in proteins that did not incorporate any Arginine 13C 15N and Lysine 13C 15N, to 100% in proteins that were completely labeled. Our study demonstrates that a commonly used, chemically defined medium can be adapted for Stable Isotope Labeling by/with Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) and combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry, in a preimplantation embryo setting. This allows to tackle long-standing questions in developmental and reproductive biology, such as the identification of putative maternal (0% labeled), putative embryonic (100% labeled) or shared proteins in live mammalian embryos.

Project description:40-PE Smart-Seq of RNA isolated from single 2-cell embryos, single morulae, single blastocysts, single E7 embryos epiblast halves and single E7 trophectoderm halves. For all preimplantation stages, embryos were grown ex-vivo from three experimental groups of zygotes: zygotes injected with the mRNA of a recombinant OGA (named BtGH84) (Btgh_injected), zygotes injected with a catalytically dead version of BtGH84 (dBtgh_injected) (control nr.1) and non-injected zygotes (non_injected) (control nr.2). Postimplantation E7 embryos were grown from two experimental group of zygotes: Btgh-injected and dBtgh-injected (control) and transferred at the 2-cell stage to foster mothers. All samples from the same embryonic stage were processed for single embryo (or single-embryo single-tissue) Smart-Seq library preparation at the same time and then sequenced in the same NextSeq500 run. The different embryonic stages were processed on different days and sequenced in different NextSeq500 runs.

Project description:Zygotes were recovered from crosses of OgtAID/WT females with OsTIR-homozygous males and cultured ex vivo for 72 hours in standard culture conditions, then the morulae were divided in two groups and one was treated with 250 micromolar auxin for 24 hours. After that, all blastocysts were collected for single embryo mRNA-Seq. The 119 blastocysts in the sequencing library come from five replicates of breeding-treatment-collection. Then, cDNA library was prepared from all of them at the same time and they were all pooled in the same run of a NextSeq500 (75 bp SE mode). Sex and genotype of the embryos was identified in silico from the sequencing data (see paper Methods).

Project description:Cloning mammals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is highly inefficient because of aberrant genomic reprogramming. In addition to random reprogramming errors, we hypothesized the presence of specific errors as evidenced by common anomalies among clones. We found that Xist, which normally inactivates one of the two X chromosomes in females, was ectopically expressed from the active X (Xa) chromosome in cloned mouse embryos of both sexes. Deletion of Xist on Xa normalized global gene expression and produced about a 10-fold increase in cloning efficiency. We also identified an Xist-independent mechanism that specifically downregulated a subset of X-linked genes through somatic-type repressive histone blocks. Thus, we have identified nonrandom reprogramming errors in mouse cloning, which provide promising targets for breakthroughs in SCNT cloning technology. Gene expression were measured in mouse in vitro fertilized and somatic cell cloned blastocysts. More than three biological replicates were performed in each group using defferent nuclear donor cells.

Project description:To identify the genes that are controled by H3K9me3 modification in PEs, we conducted transcriptome analysis using Egfp-, Kdm4b-PEs, and IVF embryos at blastocyst stages. Kdm4b or Egfp mRNA injected oocytes were parthenogenetically activated. IVF embryos were generated according to standard protcol. All embryos were cultured in KSOM medium for 120 hours after activation or sperm insemination. Five blastocysts per one biological replicate were pooled and analyzed.

Project description:40-bp PE mRNA-Seq of single E4 blastocysts generated through IVF of oocytes harvested from four female littermates (two F0 Ogt[T931A/+], one F0 Ogt[T931del/+] and one WT) using the same WT sperm. Important note regarding FILE NAMES: the genotype of the Ogt[T931A/+] females was known before the experiment, hence these oocytes kept separated during IVF and the embryos sequenced with the name “het[N]”; instead the genotype of the other two mothers was thought to be WT at the time of the experiment and the T931del discovered in some of the embryos only after the sequencing, hence the fastq files for all embryos from the Ogt[T931del/+] and WT mothers are all named “wt[N]”. About embryos genotyping: for the embryos coming from the Ogt[T931A/+] females, sex and presence of the T931A mutation was established by PCR genotyping of the cDNA and the mutation confirmed by Sanger sequencing; for the rest of the embryos, the T931del allele was identified by manual inspection of the reads (and the genotype of females for which no T931Adel-containing read was found cannot be certain). For all embryos, the sex was determined or confirmed in silico using counts of Y-linked genes.
