Project description:Reprogramming of histone modification regulates gene expression and mammal preimplantation development. Trimethylation of lysine 4 on histone 3 (H3K4me3) has unique landscape in mouse oocytes and early embryos. However, the dynamics and function of H3K4me3 in livestock embryos remain unclear. To address how it is reprogrammed in domestic animals, we profiled changes of H3K4me3 during bovine early embryo development. Notably, the overall signal of H3K4me3 decreased during embryonic genome activation (EGA). By utilizing ultra-low-input native ChIP-seq (ULI-NChIP-seq) technology, we observed widespread broad H3K4me3 domains in oocytes and embryos. The signal of broad H3K4me3 began to decrease after fertilization and was lowest after EGA. Along with the removal of broad H3K4me3, deposition of H3K4me3 at promoter regions enhanced gradually. Besides, the transcriptional activity and signal of promoter H3K4me3 showed positive correlation after the erasure of broad H3K4me3 at 16-cell stage. Moreover, knocking down of demethylases KDM5A, KDM5B and KDM5C caused EGA delay and blastocyst formation failure. RNA-seq analysis revealed 47.8% down-regulated genes in knockdown embryos at 8/16-cell stage were EGA genes, and 63.1% of up-regulated genes were maternal transcripts. Particularly, the positive correlation between transcriptional activity and promoter H3K4me3 during EGA was restrained when knocking down of KDM5A, KDM5B and KDM5C. Overall, our work initiatively mapped the genomic reprogramming of H3K4me3 during bovine preimplantation development, and KDM5A/B/C played roles in modulating oocyte-to-embryonic transition (OET) through timely erasure of broad H3K4me3 domains far away from promoters.

Please note that the raw data files for 11 sequencing runs have yet been deposited at EGA, so they are marked with \\ot available\\ under the Comment[SUBMITTED_FILE_NAME] field in the SDRF file, and were included for the sake of completeness.

Project description:Following fertilization, the new embryo reprograms parental genomes to begin transcription (embryonic genome activation, EGA). EGA is indispensable for development, but its dynamics, profile or when it initiates in vertebrates are unknown. We here characterize the onset of transcription in mouse one-cell embryos. Precise embryo staging eliminated noise to reveal a cascading program of de novo transcription initiating within six hours of fertilization. This immediate EGA (iEGA) utilized canonical promoters, produced spliced transcripts, was distinctive and predominantly driven by the maternal genome. Expression represented pathways not only associated with embryo development but with cancer. In human one-cell embryos, hundreds of genes were up-regulated, days earlier than thought, with conservation to mouse iEGA. These findings provide a functional basis for epigenetic analysis in early-stage embryos and illuminate networks governing totipotency and other cell-fate transitions.
Project description:Milk production during the early postpartum in dairy cows can impact the circulating metabolites and negatively affects embryo survival. However, the molecular consequences for the embryo during its development in the oviduct are still unknown. The objective was to determine the impact of metabolic status on embryonic genome activation (EGA) using high-throughput sequencing to generate comprehensive transcriptome profiles of bovine 16-cell stage embryos which had undergone EGA in vitro or in the oviducts of primiparous postpartum dry or postpartum lactating Holstein Friesian cows.
Project description:Arrested bone marrow (BM) lymphoid cell differentiation underlies the emergence of the most common childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Recurrent genetic lesions often directly involve transcription factors (TFs), such as ETV6 and RUNX1 found in the most common ALL translocation. Here, we studied differential gene expression in ETV6-RUNX1 primary ALL samples and the REH cell line using single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). Submitter declares that the raw data will be deposited in EGA due to patient privacy concerns. The raw data can be accessed at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ega/studies/EGAS00001004374
Project description:At the moment of union in fertilization, sperm and oocyte are transcriptionally silent. The ensuing onset of embryonic transcription (embryonic genome activation, EGA) is critical for development, yet its timing and profile are unknown in any vertebrate species. We here dissect hitherto inaccessible transcription during EGA by high resolution single-cell RNA-sequencing of precisely synchronized mouse one-cell embryos. This reveals a program of embryonic gene expression (immediate EGA, iEGA) initiating within four hours of fertilization. Expression during iEGA produces canonically-spliced transcripts, occurs substantially from the maternal genome, and is mostly down-regulated at the two-cell stage. Transcribed genes predict regulation by transcription factors (TFs) associated with cancer, including c-Myc. Blocking c- Myc or other predicted regulatory TF activities disrupts iEGA and induces acute developmental arrest. These findings illuminate intracellular mechanisms that regulate the onset of mammalian development and promise a new paradigm for the study of cancer
Project description:Double homeobox 4 (DUX4) is expressed in at the early preimplantation stage in human embryos. Here we show that induced human DUX4 expression substantially alters the non-coding chromatin accessibility of non-coding DNA and activates thousands of newly identified putative transcribed enhancer-like regions, preferentially located within ERVL-MaLR repeat elements. CRISPR activation of transcribed enhancers by C-terminal DUX4 motifs results in the increased expression of target embryonic genome activation (EGA) genes ZSCAN4 and KHDC1P1. We show that DUX4 is markedly enriched in human zygotes, followed by intense nuclear DUX4 localization preceding and coinciding with minor EGA. DUX4 knockdown in human zygotes led to changes in the EGA transcriptome but did not terminate the embryos. We also show that the DUX4 protein interacts with the Mediator complex via the C-terminal KIX binding motif. Our findings contribute to the understanding of DUX4 as a regulator of the non-coding genome.
