Single-cell RNA-seq Analyses of Oocytes and Zygotes Reveal Earlier Maternal to Zygote Transition in Mice and Rats

ABSTRACT: The maternal to zygote transition in mammals has been an area of intensive research over the past few decades, with an ever-changing landscape of understanding that has accompanied the rapid development of cell-profiling technology. Utilizing a full-length single cell RNA-seq protocol, we profiled mature oocytes and zygotes of mice and rats to uncover elusive transcriptomic dynamics during the maternal to zygote transition. We confirm the existence of early gene expression in the mouse zygote while revealing a similar chain of events occurring in the rat zygote. We observe an increase in nascent transcription in both species. Moreover, we find subtle but pervasive signals of differential splicing of genes related to key early zygotic activities occurring in both species. Meanwhile, we find distinct profiles of alternative polyadenylation between zygotes and oocytes in both species, particularly, in genes related to major processes within the zygotes. Finally, although a more dynamic transcriptomic landscape exists in the mouse zygote, the rat zygote also displays similar transcriptomic features, suggesting that minor zygotic activation in rat occurs earlier than originally thought.

Ultrasensitive proteomics depicted an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. Metaphase II (MII) oocytes and zygotes (one-cell embryo) serve as the mature oocyte and the initiation of pre-implantation embryo development respectively, and characterizing their molecular landscapes at protein levels plays an important role in uncovering MZT and zygotic genome activation (ZGA )in mammals. Here we used an ultrasensitive proteomic approach to depict an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse MZT.

Maternal to zygotic transition：A two-step process with two phases of ZGA occurs in zygote right after fertilization in Arabidopsis

Project description:The goal of the present study is to analyze the characteristics of maternal to zygotic transition (MZT) in Arabidopsis. The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is an essential developmental turning point during the alternation of generations in both plants and animals. In animals, early embryogenesis is maternally controlled and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) starts much later. However, in plants, the timing of MZT and parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome remain unclear. To address above mentioned questions, we selected Arabidopsis as model plant for the analysis. Regarding to the characteristics of MZT, egg cells, embryos including spherical zygote, elongated zygote, 1-cell embryo and 32-cell embryo were isolated and collected for RNA sequencing. Hybrid zygotes at two representative stages from the reciprocal crosses between polymorphic Arabidopsis Columbia (Col) and Landsberg erecta (Ler) accessions were also sequenced for investigating the parental contributions. We demonstrate that plant MZT occurs during the zygote stage and is a two-step process, first involving rapid maternal transcript degradation and, second, large-scale de novo transcription. Parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome are stage dependent over the course of zygote development; the spherical zygote is characterized by a maternally dominated transcriptome, whereas the elongated zygote genome shows equal parental contributions.

Germ-cell specific eIF4E1b regulates maternal mRNA translation to ensure zygotic genome activation [RIP-seq]

Project description:Translation of maternal mRNAs is detected before transcription of zygotic genes and is essential for mammalian embryo development. How certain maternal mRNAs are selected for translation instead of degradation and how this burst of translation affects zygotic genome activation remains unknown. Using gene-edited mice, we document that the oocyte-specific eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 1b (eIF4E1b) is the regulator of maternal mRNA expression that ensures subsequent reprogramming of the zygotic genome. In oocytes, eIF4E1b binds to transcripts encoding translation machinery proteins, chromatin remodelers and reprogramming factors to promote their translation in zygotes and protect them from degradation. The protein products are thought to establish an open chromatin landscape in one-cell zygotes to enable transcription of genes required for cleavage stage development. Our results define a program for rapid resetting of the zygotic epigenome that is regulated by maternal mRNA expression and provides new insights into the mammalian maternal-to-zygotic transition.

Evolution of maternal and zygotic mRNA complements in the early Drosophila embryo

Project description:The earliest stage of animal development is controlled by maternally deposited mRNA transcripts and proteins. Once the zygote is able to transcribe its own genome, maternal transcripts are degraded, in a tightly regulated process known as the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). While this process has been well-studied within model species, we have little knowledge of how the pools of maternal and zygotic transcripts evolve. To characterize the evolutionary dynamics and functional constraints on the timing of early embryonic expression, we created a transcriptomic dataset for 14 Drosophila species spanning over 50 million years of evolution, at developmental stages before and after the MZT, and compared our results with a previously published Aedes aegypti developmental time course. We found deep conservation over 250 million years of a core set of genes transcribed only by the zygote. This select group is highly enriched in transcription factors that play critical roles in early development. However, we also identify a surprisingly high level of turnover of transcripts represented at both stages over the phylogeny. While mRNA levels of genes with maternally deposited transcripts are more highly conserved than zygotic genes, those maternal transcripts that are completely degraded at the MZT vary dramatically between species. We also show that hundreds of genes have different isoform usage between the maternal and zygotic genomes. Our work suggests that maternal transcript deposition and early zygotic transcription are surprisingly dynamic over evolutionary time, despite the widespread conservation of early developmental processes.

Evolved differences in cis and trans regulation between the maternal and zygotic mRNA complements in the Drosophila embryo

Project description:During embryogenesis in animals, initial developmental processes are driven entirely by maternally provided gene products that are deposited into the oocyte. The zygotic genome is transcriptionally activated later, when developmental control is handed off from maternal gene products to the zygote during the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). The MZT is highly regulated and conserved across all animals, and while some details change across model systems where it has been studied, most are too evolutionarily diverged to make comparisons as to how this process evolves. There are differences in maternal gene products and their zygotic complements across Drosophila species, so here we used hybrid crosses between sister species of Drosophila (D. simulans, D. sechellia, and D. mauritiana) and transcriptomics to determine how gene regulation changes in early embryogenesis across species. We find that regulation of maternal transcript deposition and zygotic transcription evolve through different mechanisms. Changes in transcript levels occur predominantly through differences in trans regulation for maternal genes, while changes in zygotic transcription occur through a combination of regulatory changes in cis, trans, and both cis and trans. We find that patterns of transcript level inheritance in hybrids relative to parental species differs between maternal and zygotic transcripts; maternal transcript levels are more likely to be conserved but both stages have a large proportion of transcripts showing dominance of one parental species. Differences in the underlying regulatory landscape in the mother and the zygote are likely the primary determinants for how maternal and zygotic transcripts evolve species.

buffalo parthenogenesis TMT LC-MS/MS

Project description:Oocytes act as the genetic vector for zygote reprogramming, and stores a large amount of material that is required to regulate embryogenesis. However, to date, there is no report on the dynamic changes of maternal proteins and genes that occur during the early stages of the embryo, particularly studies that use proteomic techniques in buffalos. Here, an integrated single-cell RNA sequencing transcriptomic and quantitative proteomic analysis were employed to systematically explore the dynamic function of maternally-expressed proteins in parthenogenesis model of buffalo.The proteome of the buffalo was quantitatively analyzed during parthenogenesis of mature oocytes and the two-cell stage embryo. Of 1,908 quantified proteins, 123 differed significantly. The transcriptome was analyzed 8 stages (GV, MII, 2-cell,4-cell,8-cell,16-cell,morula,blastocyst)of buffalo using the single-cell RNA sequencing, and a total of 3567 unique genes were identified to be differently expressed between all consecutive stages of pre-implantation development. Bioinformatics studies and validated results indicated that maternal expression of the proteins possibly plays a role in the formation of cellular junctions firstly after parthenogenetic activation and the “maternal-to-zygotic transition” (MZT) process exists during parthenogenesis and occur between the 8-cell to 16-cell stage.
