Single Cell Sequencing Identifies Key Epigenetic Regulators in Nuclear Transfer Mediated Reprogramming [RRBS]

ABSTRACT: Differentiated cell can be reprogrammed into totipotent embryo through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, this process is highly inefficient and most cloned embryos arrest at certain developmental stages. Through single cell sequencing combined with embryo biopsy, here we generate a global map of DNA methylome and RNA transcriptome for SCNT embryos with distinct developmental fates. We subsequently demonstrate that the unfaithful reactivation of two histone demethylases, Kdm4b and Kdm5b, accounts for the arrest of cloned embryos at 2-cell and 4-cell stage, respectively. Ectopic expression of Kdm4b and Kdm5b in SCNT can remove H3K9me3 barrier, restore the transcription profile and facilitate the blastocyst developmental efficiency over 95%. Moreover, these cloned embryos can further support full-term development and the derivation of SCNT-embryonic stem cells with greater efficiency. Our study reveals that histone methylation reset is crucial for the development of SCNT embryos, which provides a clue to further improve therapeutic cloning. For SCNT embryos 4-8 replicates were performed for each stage . As the control, 3 replicates were performed for each stage of wild type samples

The DNA methylation landscape of human early embryos

Project description:Our data provided a genome-wide DNA methylation landscape of human early development embryos, including human MII oocytes, sperm, zygotes, 2-cell to 8-cell embryos, morula, blastocyst and postimplantation embryos at single base resolution. In total, 44 samples including biological and technical replicates, from 12 different human embryo development stages were analyzed, including two metaphase II oocytes, two zygotes, three first polar bodies, two second polar bodies, four sperm samples, two 2-cell-stage embryos, two 4-cell-stage embryos, three 8-cell-stage embryos, three morulae, three inner cell masses (ICMs) and three trophectoderms (TEs) seperated from late blastocysts, and three post-implantation embryos. In addition, 12 different human embryo development stages were analyzed, including metaphase II oocytes, zygotes, first polar bodies, second polar bodies, sperm samples, 2-cell-stage embryos, 4-cell-stage embryos, 8-cell-stage embryos, morulae, inner cell masses (ICMs) and trophectoderms (TEs) seperated from late blastocysts, and post-implantation embryos.

Identification of somatic memory genes during bovine nuclear reprogramming by transcriptome sequencing

Project description:We hypothesized aberrant transcriptional silence was existed in bovine clone reprogramming as well as abnormal transcriptional activation and the result of RNA-seq confirmed this hypothesis. On the one hand, SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer) embryos exhibited excessive RNA processing and translation while these two biological processes were deficient in human and mouse; on the other hand, SCNT embryos exhibited the transcriptional defects of reproduction-related genes. These results proved the existences of active- and silent-memory genes which inherited from donor cells in bovine early SCNT embryos. Then, H3K4me3-specific demethylase 5B (KDM5B) mRNAs were injected into cloned embryos to erase active or silent memory respectively. KDM5B overexpression not only reduced the transcription level of active-memory genes but also promoted the expression of silent-memory genes, especially rescued multiple development-related genes.

Anti-apoptotic regulation contributes successful nuclear reprogramming using cryopreserved oocytes

Project description:The cryopreservation has a negative effect on the quality of oocytes and may be closely associated with increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptotic events. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the detrimental effects on the developmental competence of somatic cell nuclear transferred (SCNT)- mouse embryos using vitrified (cryopreserved) oocytes and to evaluate the recovery effects of melatonin on cryo-damage in cloned embryos. Development of SCNT embryos using cryopreserved oocyte cytoplasm (SCNT-CROC) was inferior to those using fresh cytoplasm (SCNT-FOC). Using RNA-sequencing analysis, we found upregulation of 8 pro-apoptotic-related genes (Cyct, Dapk2, Dffb, Gadd45g, Hint2, Mien1, P2rx7, and Pmaip) in the SCNT-CROC group. Furthermore, the addition of melatonin, an agent that reduces apoptosis and ROS production, enhanced blastocyst formation rates in the SCNT-CROP group when compared with the melatonin-untreated group. Additionally, melatonin-treatment increased the derivation efficiency of pluripotent stem cells from cloned embryos using cryopreserved oocyte.

Inhibition of aberrant DNA re-methylation improves development of cloned embryos (RNA-Seq data set 2)

Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) enables the genome of a differentiated somatic cell to be reprogrammed to totipotency. However, this process is extremely inefficient, and the underlying mechanism of the epigenetic rearrangements following SCNT remains largely unknown. Here, we generated a genome-wide DNA methylome of mouse SCNT preimplantation embryos. Surprisingly, we identified widespread re-methylated regions (rDMRs) in 2- to 4-cell stage cloned embryos, which caused mis-expression of genes and retrotransposons important for zygotic genome activation and embryo development. Knocking-down DNA methyltransferases can specifically rescue the re-methylation defects of SCNT embryos and evidently improve the poor developmental capacity of cloned embryos. In addition, inactivation of DNA methyltransferases combined with overexpression of histone demethylases led to a more significant reduction in DNA methylation as well as exhibited a synergistic enhancement effect on the full-term development of nuclear transfer embryos. Our study therefore reveals that aberrant re-methylation functions as an unavoidable barrier for SCNT embryo development, and that the removal of multiple epigenetic barriers would be a promising approach to achieve the highest cloning efficiency.
