XIST derepression in active X chromosome hinders pig somatic cell nuclear transfer

ABSTRACT: Pig cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) remains extremely inefficient and many cloned embryos undergo abnormal development. Here by profiling transcriptome expression, we observed dysregulated chromosome-wide gene expression in every chromosome and identified a considerable number of genes that are aberrantly expressed in the abnormal cloned embryos. In particular, XIST, a long noncoding RNA gene, showed highly ectopic expression in abnormal embryos. We also proved that nullification of the XIST gene in donor cells can correct aberrant gene expression in cloned embryos and enhance long term development capacity of the embryos. Furthermore, the increased quality of XIST-deficient embryos was associated with the global H3K9me3 reduction. Injection of H3K9me demethylase Kdm4A into NT embryos could improve the development of preimplantation stage embryos. However, Kdm4A addition also induced XIST derepression in the active X chromosome, thus was not able to enhance the in vivo long term developmental capacity of porcine NT embryos.

RNAi-mediated knockdown of Xist can rescue the impaired postimplantation development of cloned mouse embryo

Project description:Cloning mammals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is highly inefficient. Most SCNT-generated embryos die after implantation because of unidentified, complex epigenetic errors in the process of postimplantation embryonic development. Here, we identified the most upstream level of dysfunction leading to impaired development of clones by using RNA interference (RNAi) against Xist, a gene responsible for X chromosome inactivation (XCI). A prior injection of Xist-specific short interfering (si)RNA into reconstructed oocytes efficiently corrected the SCNT-specific aberrant Xist expression at the morula stage, but failed to do so thereafter at the blastocyst stage. However, we found that shortly after implantation this aberrant XCI status in cloned embryos had been corrected autonomously in both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues, probably through a newly established XCI control for postimplantation embryos. Embryo transfer experiments revealed that the siRNA-treated embryos showed 10 times higher survival than controls as early as embryonic day 5.5 and this high survival persisted until term, resulting in a remarkable improvement in cloning efficiency (12% vs. 1% in controls). Importantly, unlike control clones, these Xist-siRNA clones at birth showed only a limited dysregulation of their gene expression, indicating that correction of Xist expression in preimplantation embryos had a long-term effect on their postnatal normality. Thus, contrary to the general assumption, our results suggest that the fate of cloned embryos is determined almost exclusively before implantation by their XCI status. Furthermore, our strategy provides a promising breakthrough for mammalian SCNT cloning because RNAi treatment of oocytes is readily applicable to most mammal species. Gene expression were measured in mouse in vitro fertilized and somatic cell cloned embryos. Four biological replicates were performed in each group of Xist- or Control-siRNA.

DNA methylation abnormal accumulation during cloned TSCs maintaining [RRBS]

Project description:Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) are derived from the trophoectoderm of blastocysts and maintain ability to self-renewal and differentiation. TSC is a good model to research placenta development in vitro. It will contribute to understanding and improving cloned placentomegaly to compare the transcription and methylation between cloned and natural fertilized embryos throughout TSC derivation process. In the present study, we used SCNT (NT) and SCNT with HDACi treatment (SNT) as cloned groups and natural fertilized (NF) embryos to derive TSCs and chosed 5-time points to peform RNA-seq and RRBS. We found only NT got a barriar in TSC maintenace and both cloned groups exhited abnormal accumulating DNA methylation and it might be resiponsible for some malformations of cloned placentas.

XIST dampens X chromosome activity in a SPEN-dependent manner during early human development [RNA-seq]

Project description:XIST long non-coding RNA is responsible for X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in placental mammals, yet it accumulates on both X chromosomes in human female pre-implantation embryos without triggering X chromosome silencing. The long non-coding RNA XACT co-accumulates with XIST on active Xs and may antagonize XIST function. Here we used human ES cells in a naïve state of pluripotency to assess the function of XIST and XACT in shaping the X chromosome chromatin and transcriptional landscapes during pre-implantation development. We show that XIST triggers the deposition of polycomb-mediated repressive histone modifications and attenuates transcription of most X-linked genes in a SPEN-dependent manner, while XACT deficiency does not significantly affect XIST activity or X-linked gene expression. Our study demonstrates that XIST is functional prior to XCI, confirms the existence of a transient process of X chromosome dosage compensation, and reveals that X chromosome inactivation and dampening rely on the same set of factors.
