Tet enzymes are essential for embryogenesis and completion of embryonic genome activation

ABSTRACT: Mammalian embryo development begins in transcriptional silence followed by activation of thousands of genes. Reprogramming of DNA methylation is integral to embryogenesis and linked to Tet enzymes; however, their function in early development is not fully understood. Here, we generated combined deficiencies of all three Tet enzymes in mouse oocytes and observed arrest at 2-cell stage with the most severe phenotype linked to Tet2. Gene expression analysis revealed that Tet enzymes are required for completion of embryonic genome activation. Our results demonstrate that Tet enzymes have non-redundant roles and are key components of EGA in mammalian embryos.

Loss of Tet enzymes compromises proper differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Project description:Tet enzymes (Tet1/2/3) catalyze the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxy-methylcytosine (5hmC) and are dynamically expressed in various embryonic and adult cell types. While loss of individual Tet enzymes or combined deficiency of Tet1/2 allows for embryogenesis, the effect of complete loss of Tet activity and 5hmC marks in development has not been established. To define the role of Tet enzymes and 5hmC in development we have generated Tet1, Tet2 and Tet3 triple knockout (TKO) mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and examined their developmental potential in vitro and in vivo. Combined deficiency of all three Tet enzymes led to complete depletion of 5hmC and impaired ESC differentiation as seen in poorly differentiated TKO embryoid bodies and teratomas. Consistent with impaired differentiation, TKO ES cells exhibited limited contribution to the chimeric embryos and could not support embryonic development in tetraploid complementation assays. Gene expression profiles and genome wide methylome analyses of TKO embryoid bodies revealed promoter hypermethylation and deregulation of genes implicated in embryonic development and differentiation. These findings suggest a requirement for Tet and 5hmC-mediated DNA demethylation in proper regulation of gene expression during differentiation of embryonic stem cells and development.

Tet enzymes are essential for early embryogenesis and completion of embryonic genome activation.

Project description:Mammalian development begins in transcriptional silence followed by a period of widespread activation of thousands of genes. DNA methylation reprogramming is integral to embryogenesis and linked to Tet enzymes, but their function in early development is not well understood. Here, we generate combined deficiencies of all three Tet enzymes in mouse oocytes using a morpholino-guided knockdown approach and study the impact of acute Tet enzyme deficiencies on preimplantation development. Tet1-3 deficient embryos arrest at the 2-cell stage with the most severe phenotype linked to Tet2. Individual Tet enzymes display non-redundant roles in the consecutive oxidation of 5-methylcytosine to 5-carboxylcytosine. Gene expression analysis uncovers that Tet enzymes are required for completion of embryonic genome activation (EGA) and fine-tuned expression of transposable elements and chimeric transcripts. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing reveals minor changes of global DNA methylation in Tet-deficient 2-cell embryos, suggesting an important role of non-catalytic functions of Tet enzymes in early embryogenesis. Our results demonstrate that Tet enzymes are key components of the clock that regulates the timing and extent of EGA in mammalian embryos.

TET enzymes augment AID expression via 5hmC modifications at the Aicda superenhancer [H3K27ac_ChIP-seq]

Project description:TET enzymes are dioxygenases that promote DNA demethylation by oxidizing the methyl group of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Here we report a close correspondence between 5hmC-marked regions, chromatin accessibility and enhancer activity in B cells, and a strong enrichment for consensus binding motifs for basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors at TET-responsive genomic regions. Functionally, Tet2 and Tet3 regulate class switch recombination (CSR) in murine B cells by enhancing expression of Aicda, encoding the cytidine deaminase AID essential for CSR. TET enzymes deposit 5hmC, demethylate and maintain chromatin accessibility at two TET-responsive elements, TetE1 and TetE2, located within a superenhancer in the Aicda locus. Transcriptional profiling identified BATF as the bZIP transcription factor involved in TET-dependent Aicda expression. 5hmC is not deposited at TetE1 in activated Batf-deficient B cells, indicating that BATF recruits TET proteins to the Aicda enhancer. Our data emphasize the importance of TET enzymes for bolstering AID expression, and highlight 5hmC as an epigenetic mark that captures enhancer dynamics during cell activation.
