Reduction of H3K9 methylation by G9a inhibitor improves development of mouse SCNT embryos

ABSTRACT: Inefficient mammalian cloning can be improved by removal of somatic H3K9me3 from the embryonic genome. However, this strategy involves injection of histone demethylase mRNA into embryos, which itself is a limiting step due to the invasive and labor-consuming nature. Here we report that treatment with an inhibitor against G9a (G9ai), the major histone methyltransferase that introduces H3K9me1/2 in mammals, greatly improved development of cloned embryos in mice. Intriguingly, G9ai treatment resulted in immediate reduction of H3K9me1/2 and secondary loss of H3K9me3 in SCNT embryos. By G9ai treatment, the birth rate of cloned pups increased about fivefold (up to 3.9%) and, when combined with trichostatin A, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, it was further improved to 14.5%. Mechanistically, G9ai and TSA synergistically enhanced H3K9me3 demethylation and boosted zygotic activation of Obox family genes. Thus, we established an easy, highly effective SCNT protocol that would enhance future cloning research and applications.

Single Cell Sequencing Identifies Key Epigenetic Regulators in Nuclear Transfer Mediated Reprogramming [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Differentiated cell can be reprogrammed into totipotent embryo through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, this process is highly inefficient and most cloned embryos arrest at certain developmental stages. Through single cell sequencing combined with embryo biopsy, here we generate a global map of DNA methylome and RNA transcriptome for SCNT embryos with distinct developmental fates. We subsequently demonstrate that the unfaithful reactivation of two histone demethylases, Kdm4b and Kdm5b, accounts for the arrest of cloned embryos at 2-cell and 4-cell stage, respectively. Ectopic expression of Kdm4b and Kdm5b in SCNT can remove H3K9me3 barrier, restore the transcription profile and facilitate the blastocyst developmental efficiency over 95%. Moreover, these cloned embryos can further support full-term development and the derivation of SCNT-embryonic stem cells with greater efficiency. Our study reveals that histone methylation reset is crucial for the development of SCNT embryos, which provides a clue to further improve therapeutic cloning. Examination of histone H3K9me3 modifications in 2-cell embryos and cumulus cells.

Expression profiling reveals differential expressed genes between bovine IVF and SCNT embryos

Project description:Global hypermethylations of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) tri- and di-methylation (H3K9me3/2) have been identified in bovine cloned embryos at the embryonic genome activation (EGA) stage (eight-cell stage), but the intrinsic reason for these anomalies remains elusive. To ascertain key factors responsible for aberrant H3K9 methylation, we performed RNA sequencing of transcripts in eight-cell bovine in vitro fertilized (IVF) and SCNT embryo. From the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between IVF and SCNT embryos, we identified that the unsuccessful reactivation of two histone demethylases, KDM4D and KDM4E, is responsible for the incomplete H3K9me3/2 demethylation in SCNT embryos at the EGA stage. By mRNA injection, ectopic expression of either KDM4D or KDM4E could erase H3K9me3/2 barriers, improve blastocyst formation, and elevate cloning efficiency of bovine SCNT. To examine the detailed genes responsive to KDM4E overexpression, we also performed RNA sequencing of bovine eight-cell SCNT embryos with KDM4E compensation and found an obvious restoration of global transcriptional patterns in SCNT embryos. Our study first provides the transcriptome data set of bovine IVF and SCNT embryos during EGA with or without KDM4E overexpression, which advance the understanding of incomplete nuclear reprogramming, and contribute to the practical implications for genetically modified livestock breeding using SCNT.

Identification of epigenetic barrier that prevents reprogramming in somatic cell nuclear transfer

Project description:Mammalian oocytes can reprogram somatic cells into totipotent state, which allows animal cloning through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, the great majority of SCNT embryos fail to develop to term due to poorly defined reprogramming defects. Here we demonstrate that histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) in donor nuclei is a major epigenetic barrier that prevents efficient nuclear reprogramming in mouse oocytes. Comparative transcriptome analysis of early embryos revealed reprogramming resistant regions (RRRs) where transcriptional activation at 2-cell embryos is inhibited by SCNT compared to in vitro fertilization (IVF). RRRs significantly overlap with H3K9me3 enrichment in donor somatic cells. Importantly, removal of the H3K9me3 by ectopic expression of an H3K9me3 demethylase Kdm4d in recipient oocytes not only reactivates most RRRs, but also greatly improves development of SCNT embryos. Furthermore, the use of Suv39h1/2-depleted somatic nuclei as donors also greatly improves the development of SCNT embryos. Our study thus reveals H3K9me3 as an epigenetic barrier in SCNT-mediated reprogramming and provides a feasible method for improving mammalian cloning efficiency.

RNA sequencing revealed abnormal gene expression and benefits of vitamin C treatment in cloned bovine embryos

Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in mammals has been mostly unsuccessful. In this study, we measured and compared transcription profiles of cloned and fertilized embryos using RNA sequencing. Before zygotic genome activation (ZGA), fewer genes were activated in the cloned embryos than in vitro fertilization (IVF), leading to insufficient activation of protein transport and degradation functions. In blastocysts, terms of “embryo development” and “adherens junction” represented major differences for repressed genes in SCNT compared to IVF. Vitamin C (Vc) was found to relax donor cell chromatin and promote cloned embryo development. RNA sequencing indicated that Vc treatment restored some abnormal genes and processes in the cloned embryos. Processes of autophagy, RNA-editing and cell junction were not fully established, but they were improved by Vc treatment. Overexpression of ZNF641, one of the completely restored genes by Vc treatment, improved the cloned embryos’ potential. Finally, Vc treatment rescued some long non-coding RNAs that were aberrantly expressed in the cloned embryos. Collectively, many important genes and biological processes were abnormal in the cloned embryos, some of which can be improved by Vc treatment. This investigation provides several practical aspects that could be useful for improving cloning efficiency and its future applications.

Whole genome bisulfite sequencing of hybrid monkey fibroblast

Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been used to clone cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), but the cloning of other non-human primate species remains to be achieved. On the other hand, our histological examination indicated severe calcification of the placenta of SCNT fetuses. Additionally, we found that some of the maternal-biased imprinting genes were aberrantly lost in the cloned embryos by multi-omics analysis. We thus developed a trophoblast replacement (TR) method, providing an ICSI-derived placenta for the SCNT fetus, to support the full-term development of the cloned embryos after implantation. By combining this TR method with treatment with epigenetic modification factors, we obtained a healthy somatic cell cloned rhesus monkey. Thus, TR represents a useful approach for rhesus monkey cloning.
