DNA methylomes of the bovine gametes and in vivo preimplantation embryos

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that undergoes dynamic changes in mammalian embryogenesis, during which both parental genomes are reprogrammed. Despite the many immunostaining studies that have assessed global methylation, the gene-specific DNA methylation patterns in bovine preimplantation embryos are unknown. Using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing, we determined genome-scale DNA methylation patterns of bovine sperm and individual in vivo developed oocytes and preimplantation embryos. We show that: 1) the major wave of genome-wide demethylation was completed by the 8-cell stage; 2) promoter methylation was significantly and inversely correlated with gene expression at the 8-cell and blastocyst stages; 3) sperm and oocytes have numerous differentially methylated regions (DMRs) - DMRs specific for sperm were strongly enriched in long terminal repeats (LTRs) and rapidly lost methylation in embryos, while the oocyte-specific DMRs were more frequently localized in exons and CpG islands (CGIs) and demethylated gradually across cleavage stages; 4) a unique set of DMRs were found between in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes; and 5) differential methylation between bovine gametes was confirmed in some but not all known imprinted genes. Our data provide insights into deciphering the complex epigenetic reprogramming of bovine early embryos and will serve as an important model for investigating human development and the evolutionary and regulatory roles of DNA methylation.

Methylome Dynamics of Bovine Gametes and In Vivo Early Embryos

Project description:Dynamic changes in DNA methylation are crucial in the epigenetic regulation of mammalian embryogenesis. Global DNA methylation studies in the bovine, however, remain mostly at the immunostaining level. We adopted the single-cell whole genome bisulfite sequencing (scWGBS) method to characterize stage-specific genome-wide DNA methylation in bovine sperm, individual oocytes derived in vivo and in vitro, as well as in vivo developed embryos at the 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-cell stages. This method allowed us to theoretically cover all CpG sites in the genome using single oocytes or embryos. We found that the major wave of genome-wide DNA demethylation was complete at the 8-cell stage when de novo methylation became prominent. Sperm and oocytes were differentially methylated in numerous regions (DMRs) which were enriched in intergenic regions, indicating these noncoding regions play important roles in gamete specification. DMRs were also identified between in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes. Moreover, X chromosome methylation followed the global dynamic patterns. Virtually no (less than 1.5%) DNA methylation was found in mitochondrial DNA. Finally, using our RNA-seq data generated from the same developmental stages, we revealed an inverse correlation between gene expression and promoter methylation. Our study provides the first fully comprehensive analysis of the global dynamics of DNA methylation in bovine gametes and single early embryos using scWGBS. These data provide insights into the critical features of the methylome of bovine embryos, and serve as an important reference for embryos produced by assisted reproduction, such as in vitro fertilization and cloning, and a model for human early embryo epigenetic regulation.

Allelic histone-to-DNA methylation switch establishes secondary DMR to maintain noncanonical imprinting

Project description:Faithful maintenance of genomic imprinting is essential for mammalian development. While germline DNA methylation-dependent (canonical) imprinting is relatively stable during development, the recently discovered oocyte-derived H3K27me3-mediated noncanonical imprinting is mostly transient in early embryos with only a few genes maintain imprinted expression in the extraembryonic lineage. How these few noncanonical imprinted genes maintain their extraembryonic-specific imprinting is unknown. Here we report that maintenance of extraembryonic-specific noncanonical imprinting requires maternal allele-specific de novo DNA methylation (secondary differentially methylation regions; DMRs) at implantation. The secondary DMRs are located at the gene promoters with paternal allele-specific H3K4me3 preformed during preimplantation development. Importantly, genetic ablation of Eed and DNA methyltransferases revealed that both maternal H3K27me3 and zygotic Dnmt3a/3b are required for establishing secondary DMRs and for maintaining noncanonical imprinting. Thus, our study not only reveals the mechanism underlying maintenance of noncanonical imprinting, but also sheds light on how histone modifications in oocytes and preimplantation embryos may shape the secondary DMRs in post-implantation embryos.

Genome-wide profiling the epigenetic landscape of histone variant TH2B in murine oocytes and pre-implantation embryos [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The testis-specific histone variant of H2B, TH2B, is enriched in the oocytes, sperm and early embryos, with levels decreasing as the embryos differentiate into pre-gastrula stages. However, the involvement of TH2B in epigenetic reprogramming in the preimplantation embryos is largely unknown. The current study mapped the genome-wide epigenetics of TH2B in MII oocytes and early embryos using ultra-low-input ChIP-seq (ULI-ChIP). We demonstrate that TH2B deposition varies greatly between gametes; however, following fertilization, TH2B from gametes is swiftly redistributed in 2-cell embryos. A considerable enrichment of TH2B at the transcription start site (TSS) was identified in sperm chromatin compared to that in oocytes. We also found some overlap between the dynamics of the sperm and the 2 cell, which contain genes related to transcription regulation. Additionally, TH2B was enriched at zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes. H2A.Z and TH2B were associated, as was discovered in the presence of H2AK119ub1. The correct execution of ZGA and other developmental programs, such as timing the expression or repression of particular genes, may involve TH2B along with H2A.Z, and H2AK119ub1, the latter two regulating the aforementioned processes. Also, early embryos had H3K9me3 deposited at TH2B-bound loci, which is a sign of heterochromatin and functions in regulating retrotransposons. In our study, we found that TH2B was enriched in LTRs. Thus, TH2B chromatin in gametes and preimplantation embryos has distinctive properties, as highlighted by our study, and they also present fresh opportunities to investigate the epigenetic dynamics in murine preimplantation embryos.

High-resolution Ribosome Profiling Reveals Translational Selectivity in Bovine Preimplantation Embryo Development

Project description:High resolution polysome fractionation and low-input ribosome profiling of bovine oocytes and preimplantation embryos has enabled us to define the translational landscape of early embryo development at an unprecedented level. We systematically and comparatively analyzed the transcriptome, polysome- and nonpolysome-bound RNA profiles of bovine oocytes and early embryos at 2-, 8-cell, morula, and blastocyst stage, and defined four modes of translational selectivity in bovine preimplantation embryo development: i. selective translation of non-abundant mRNAs, ii. active translating highly expressed mRNAs, iii. Translationally suppressed abundant mRNAs, and iv. Monosomaly occupied mRNAs. A strong selection towards genes involved in mitochondrial function and metabolic pathways was found throughout bovine preimplantation development. We found translatome largely follows transcriptome at oocytes, followed by a marked translational control at 8-cell embryos, which is gradually synchronized at the morula and blastocyst stage. We identified important novel cellular/embryonic functional regulators that being utilized and prioritized for translation at each developmental stage, that accompanies little-known bovine embryonic developmental programming. Together, these data reveal a unique spatiotemporal translational regulation that accompanies bovine preimplantation development.

Identification of maternal imprinting control regions (ICRs) in the post-implantation mouse embryo.

Project description:Genomewide DNA methylation profiles, generated by MeDIP-seq, for 8.5dpc wildtype and Dnmt3l-/+ mouse embryos were compared to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that depend on the activity of the de novo DNA methyltransferase cofactor Dnmt3l in the oocyte. These DMRs were further characterised by their methylation state in mature mouse sperm and in the livers of inter-subspecies newborn mice. Maternal ICRs were identified by hypomethylation in Dnmt3l-/+ embryos as well as sperm, and maternal allele-specific methylation in liver. MeDIP-seq for two pools of wildtype and two pools of Dnmt3l-/+ mouse 8.5dpc embryos, the sperm of three sires, and 12 pools of three different embryonic livers each. Sliding window read count comparison between wildtype and Dnmt3l-/+ embryos, and between wildtype embryos and sperm samples. Read count comparison between the parental alleles at known SNP sites in inter-subspecies liver data.

Mouse preimplantation imprinting [WGBS]

Project description:In mammals, chromatin marks at imprinted genes are asymmetrically inherited from each parent to control gene expression. Many genomic imprints are determined by differentially methylated regions (DMRs), but these have not been comprehensively mapped physically or functionally in mouse preimplantation embryos. To address this, we measured genome-wide DNA methylation in individual haploid uniparental parthenogenetic haploid (ph) and androgenetic haploid (ah) E3.5 blastocysts by micro-whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (µWGBS). For comparison, we also included ahESC and phESC lines in the analysis.Comparison of DNA methylomes from uniparental blastocysts with those of control blastocysts (produced by intracytoplasmic sperm injection) identified 859 DMRs. Haploid ES cells showed overall erosion of those DMRs, in contrast to diploid ES cells that relatively maintained differential methylation.
