Project description:Oocyte-to-embryo transition plays a critical role in oocyte maturation and embryogenesis. It is a highly regulated process in part due to a transcription silenced period followed by zygotic genome activation. How transcriptome, translatome, and proteome interplay in this critical developmental window remains poorly understood. Utilizing a highly sensitive mass spectrometry, we obtained a high-quality proteome landscape spanning 10 stages, from the mouse full-grown oocyte (FGO) to blastocyst, using 100 oocytes/embryos at each stage. By integrative analysis with corresponding transcriptome and translatome, we found transcription and translation levels can not reflect protein abundance in most cases. From FGO to 4-cell embryos, proteomes are predominated by FGO-produced proteins, while the transcriptome and translatome are much more dynamic. FGO inherited proteins frequently persist after the corresponding transcripts are already downregulated or decayed. Improved concordance between protein and RNA is observed for genes starting translation only upon meiotic resumption (OET upregulated) or transcribed only in embryos, although the detected protein dynamics often lag behind transcription and translation. Concordance between protein and transcription/tranlation is associated with protein half-lives. Finally, a kinetic model well predicts protein dynamics when incorporating both the initial protein abundance in FGO and translation kinetics across developmental stages. In sum, our study reveals multilayer control of gene expression during oocyte maturation and embryogenesis.

Project description:Vertebrate life begins with fertilization, then the zygote genome is activated after transient silencing, termed zygotic genome activation (ZGA). The mechanism of how ZGA initiates is far from clear although it underlay the mystery of totipotency and start of life. The specific property of the minor ZGA implied the possible critical role of ncRNA in the initiation of ZGA. Here we delineated the expression profile of the lncRNAs in the mouse early embryo development and elucidated their critical role in the minor ZGA. LncRNAs showed closer correlation with minor ZGA, they activated earlier than the protein coding genes (PCGs) and suppressed quickly after ZGA. H3K9me3 enrichment prior the ZGA could explain the suspended expression of major ZGA PCGs albeit they possess the PolII pre-configuration. The PolII enriched MuERV-L was found around the TSS of the minor ZGA lncRNAs, and they were responsible for the activation of the minor ZGA lncRNAs and the subsequent embryo development. Our work suggested the MuERV-L mediated minor ZGA lncRNA activation as a critical driver between the epigenetic reprogramming triggered by fertilization and the embryo developmental program, thus provided clues for understanding totipotency and starting of life.

Project description:The remodelling of the epigenome and transcriptome of the fertilised oocyte to establish totipotency in the zygote and developing embryo is one of the most critical processes in mammalian embryogenesis. Zygotic or embryonic genome activation (ZGA, EGA) in the 2-cell embryo in mouse, and the 8-cell embryo in humans, constitutes the first major wave of transcription. Failure to initiate ZGA leads to developmental defects, and contributes to the high attrition rates of human pre-implantation embryos. Due to limitations in cell numbers and experimental tractability, the mechanisms that regulate human embryonic genome activation in the totipotent embryo remain poorly understood. Here we report the discovery of human 8-cell like cells (8CLCs) specifically among naïve embryonic stem cells, but not primed pluripotent cells. 8CLCs express ZGA marker genes, such as ZSCAN4, LEUTX and DUXA, and their transcriptome closely resembles that of the 8-cell human embryo. 8-cell like cells reactivate 8-cell stage specific transposable elements such as HERVL and MLT2A1, and are characterized by upregulation of the methylation regulator DPPA3. 8CLCs show reduced SOX2 protein levels and can be identified based on expression of the novel protein marker TPRX1 in vitro. Overexpression of the transcription factor DUX4 not only increases ZGA-like transcription, but also enhances TPRX1+ 8CLCs formation. The discovery of 8CLCs provides a unique opportunity to model and manipulate human ZGA-like transcriptional programs in vitro, and will provide critical functional insights into one of the earliest events in human embryogenesis in vivo.

Project description:Upon fertilization, the embryonic genome remains transcriptionally inactive until the mid-blastula transition. Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) of vertebrate embryos has been extensively studied using nucleic acid-based strategies, but proteomics data are still scarce, impeding the full mechanistic understanding of how ZGA is executed during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). Here, we performed quantitative proteomics to decipher the proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during the MZT, quantifying nearly 5,000 proteins across four embryonic stages. The stage-specific clustering based on protein expression pattern revealed that helicases (i.e., eif4a2 and ruvbl1) facilitate pluripotency factors (i.e., nanog, pou5f3, ctcf, and hmga1) triggering ZGA in zebrafish, accompanied by the maternal product decay with P-bodies and ubiquitin dependent proteolytic pathway. Dozens of transcription factors show wave-like expression patterns during MZT, implying their diverse functions in triggering the ZGA and modulating differentiation for organ development. The combination of morpholino knockdown and quantitative proteomics demonstrated that maternal Nanog is required for proper embryogenesis by regulating 1) interactions with other pluripotency factors, 2) F-actin band formation, 3) cell cycle checkpoints and 4) maternal product degradation. This study represents the most systematic proteomics survey of developmentally regulated proteins and their expression profiles accompanying MZT in zebrafish, which is a valuable proteome resource for understanding ZGA.

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is essential for early embryo development. Here, we reported that ZGA is initiated at 16-cell stage in sheep, as extensive alterations in gene expression and DNA methylation patterns, along with elevated levels of RNA polymerase II and developmental arrest was found at the 16-cell embryos. To uncover the sophisticated RNA metabolism during ZGA, we conducted weighted gene co-expression network analysis and identified 1957 critical maternal genes. Using dapars, we found 1058 and 933 lengthened alternative polyadenylation (APA) events, and genes exhibiting shorten APA were highly expressed in both sheep and mice ZGA-stage embryos. Using rMATs, we reported 2675 and 1963 genes showed exon skipping during ZGA in sheep and mice. These genes are related to RNA binding, translation, gamete generation, and reproduction.

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) marks the first transcription event in life, and human embryo developmental arrest has been highly correlated with ZGA failure in clinical studies. We utilized published single-cell RNA sequencing data and RNA-seq data to identify Trim75 is a potential driver of minor ZGA and may recruit EP300 and establish H3K27ac in the gene body of minor ZGA genes.

Project description:During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), transcriptionally silent embryos rely on post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs until zygotic genome activation (ZGA). RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are important regulators of post-transcriptional RNA processing events, yet their identities and functions during developmental transitions in vertebrates remain largely unexplored. Using mRNA interactome capture, we identified 227 RBPs in zebrafish embryos before and during ZGA, hereby named the zebrafish MZT mRNAbound proteome. This protein constellation consists of many conserved RBPs, with additional embryo- and stage-specific mRNA interactors that likely reflect the dynamics of RNA-protein interactions during MZT. The enrichment of numerous splicing factors like hnRNP proteins before ZGA was surprising, because maternal mRNAs were found to be fully spliced. To address potentially unique roles of RBPs in embryogenesis, we focused on hnRNP A1. iCLIP and subsequent mRNA reporter assays revealed a function for hnRNP A1 in the regulation of poly(A) tail length and translation of maternal mRNAs through sequence-specific association with 3’UTRs before ZGA. Comparison of iCLIP data from two developmental stages revealed that hnRNP A1 dissociates from maternal mRNAs at ZGA and instead regulates the nuclear processing of pri-miR-430 transcripts, which we validated experimentally. The shift from cytoplasmic to nuclear RNA targets was accompanied by a dramatic translocation of hnRNP A1 and other pre-mRNA splicing factors to the nucleus in a transcription-dependent manner. Thus, our study identifies global changes in RNA-protein interactions during vertebrate MZT and shows that hnRNP A1 RNA-binding activities are spatially and temporally coordinated to regulate RNA metabolism during early development.

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is essential for early embryonic development. However, the regulation of ZGA remains elusive in mammals. Here we report that a maternal factor TDP-43, a nuclear transactive response DNA-binding protein, regulates ZGA through RNA Pol II and is essential for mouse early embryogenesis. Maternal TDP-43 translocates from the cytoplasm into the nucleus at the early two-cell stage when minor to major ZGA transition occurs. Genetic deletion of maternal TDP-43 results in mouse early embryos arrested at late two-cell stage and female infertile. TDP-43 co-occupies with RNA Pol II as large foci in the nucleus and also at the promoters of ZGA genes at the late two-cell stage. Biochemical evidence indicates that TDP-43 binds Polr2a and Cyclin T1. Depletion of maternal TDP-43 caused the loss of Pol II foci and reduced Pol II binding on chromatin at major ZGA genes, accompanied by defective ZGA. Collectively, our results suggest that maternal TDP-43 is critical for mouse early embryonic development, in part through facilitating the correct RNA Pol II configuration and zygotic genome activation.
