Detection of newly synthesized RNA reveals transcriptional reprogramming during ZGA and a role of Obox3 in totipotency acquisition

ABSTRACT: Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) after fertilization is a conserved transcriptional activation process that enables the maternal-to-zygotic transition. However, the global view of ZGA, particularly at the initiation, is not yet completely understood. Here, we develop a method to capture and sequence newly synthesized RNA in the early mouse embryos, which provides a view of transcriptional reprogramming events during ZGA. Our data demonstrate that gene activation associated with major ZGA, previously thought to occur exclusively during the mid-to-late 2-cell stage, is already initiated in zygotes. Furthermore, we identify a set of genes activated during minor ZGA and observe an enrichment of the homeobox-containing Obox factor motif at the promoters of minor ZGA genes. Among several Obox factors, Obox3 overexpression in mouse embryonic stem cells activates ZGA genes. Notably, the expression of Obox3 is severely impaired in somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos, and restoring its expression corrects the ZGA profile and greatly improves SCNT embryo development. Hence, our study reveals the dynamic transcriptional reprogramming during ZGA and underscores the crucial role of Obox3 in facilitating totipotency acquisition.

Analysis of genome architecture during SCNT reveals a role of cohesin in impeding minor ZGA

Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) can reprogram a somatic nucleus to a totipotent state. However, the re-organization of three-dimensional chromatin structure in this process remains poorly understood. Using low-input Hi-C, we revealed that during SCNT, the transferred nucleus first enters a mitotic-like state (premature chromatin condensation). Unlike fertilized embryos, SCNT embryos show stronger TADs at the 1-cell stage. TADs become weaker at the 2-cell stage, followed by gradual consolidation. Compartments A/B are markedly weak in 1-cell SCNT embryos and become increasingly strengthened afterward. By the 8-cell stage, somatic chromatin architecture is largely reset to embryonic patterns. Unexpectedly, we found cohesin represses minor zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes (2-cell specific genes) in pluripotent and differentiated cells, and pre-depleting cohesin in donor cells facilitates minor ZGA and SCNT. These data reveal multi-step reprogramming of 3D chromatin architecture during SCNT and support dual roles of cohesin in TAD formation and minor ZGA repression.

OBOX regulates murine zygotic genome activation and early development

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) activates the quiescent genome to enable the maternal-to-zygotic transition. However, the identity of transcription factors (TFs) that underlie mammalian ZGA in vivo remains unresolved. Here, we showed that OBOX, a PRD-like homeobox domain TF family that includes 66 members (OBOX1-8), are key regulators of mouse ZGA. Knockout mice deficient for maternally transcribed Obox1/2/5/7 and zygotically expressed Obox3/4 led to 2-4 cell arrest accompanied by impaired ZGA. Maternal and zygotic expressed OBOX redundantly support embryonic development as Obox KO defects can be rescued by restoring either of them. Chromatin binding analysis revealed Obox knockout preferentially affected OBOX-binding targets. Mechanistically, OBOX facilitated RNA Pol II ?pre-configuration?, as Pol II relocates from the initial 1-cell binding targets to ZGA gene promoters and distal enhancers. The impaired Pol II pre-configuration in Obox mutants was accompanied by downregulation of ZGA genes, chromatin accessibility transition defects, as well as aberrant activation of one-cell Pol II targets. Finally, OBOX ectopically activated ZGA genes and MERVL in mESCs. Hence, these data demonstrate that OBOX regulates murine ZGA and early embryogenesis.

Unreprogrammed H3K9me3 prevents minor zygotic genome activation and lineage commitment in SCNT embryos

Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) can be used to reprogram differentiated somatic cells to a totipotent state but has poor efficiency in supporting full-term development. H3K9me3 is considered to be an epigenetic barrier to zygotic genomic activation in 2-cell SCNT embryos. However, the mechanism underlying the failure of H3K9me3 reprogramming during SCNT embryo development remains elusive. Here, we perform genome-wide profiling of H3K9me3 in cumulus cell-derived SCNT embryos. We find redundant H3K9me3 marks are closely related to defective minor zygotic genome activation. Moreover, SCNT blastocysts show severely indistinct lineage-specific H3K9me3 deposition. We identify MAX and MCRS1 as potential H3K9me3-related transcription factors and are essential for early embryogenesis. Overexpression of Max and Mcrs1 significantly benefits SCNT embryo development. Notably, MCRS1 partially rescues lineage-specific H3K9me3 allocation, and further improves the efficiency of full-term development. Importantly, our data confirm the conservation of deficient H3K9me3 differentiation in Sertoli cell-derived SCNT embryos, which may be regulated by alternative mechanisms.

Metabolic control of histone acetylation for precise and timely regulation of minor ZGA in early mammalian embryos

Project description:We report that oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is indispensable for mouse pre-implantation development. NAD+ could avoids excessive minor zygotic gene activation (ZGA) by cooperating with SIRT1 to remove zygotic H3K27ac. In human, NAD+ supplement can promote the removal of zygotic H3K27ac and benefit pre-implantation development. Our findings demonstrate that precise and timely regulation of minor ZGA is controlled by metabolic dynamics, and enhance our understanding of the metabolism of mammalian early embryos.

Maternal H3.3-Mediated Reprogramming of Parental Genomes during Minor Zygotic Genome Activation [CUT&TAG]

Project description:Zygotic gene activation (ZGA) is the first transcription event in life, and is associated with extensive epigenetic reprogramming, which is involved with dynamic incorporation of histone variant H3.3. H3.3 plays essential roles during mouse pre-implantation development. However, the coexistence of distinct sources of H3.3 in early embryos, including paternal and maternal allele-expressed H3.3 (paH3.3 and maH3.3), complicates our ability to track their individual dynamics, which may have distinct roles in embryonic development. In this study, by taking advantage of our H3.3B-HA-tagged mouse model, we illustrated the paH3.3 and maH3.3 landscapes in mouse early embryos, and described the manner of maternal mRNAs-derived H3.3 (mH3.3) on paternal genome reprogramming. We found the deposition of mH3.3 is required for cleavage development and minor ZGA, mechanistically, by mH3.3S31p-meditated acetylation at lysine 27. And, we propose that the mH3.3K27ac modification displaces the repressive histone modifications, thus enabling the activation of minor ZGA genes. Taken together, we demonstrate the central role of mH3.3 in reprogramming parental genomes by establishment of H3K27ac.
