Project description:We systematically analyzed transcriptome in individual human oocytes and preimplantation embryos with a new single-cell RNA seq method we recently developed. We sequenced individual single cells or embryos at seven consecutive stages (mature oocytes, zygotes, 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell embryos, morulae, and blastocysts) and single hESC using single-cell RNA seq.

Project description:Sperm-derived tsRNAs could act as acquired epigenetic factors and contribute to offspring phenotypes. However, the roles of specific tsRNAs in early embryo development remain to be elucidated. Here, by using pigs as a research model, we probed the tsRNA dynamics during spermatogenesis and sperm maturation, and demonstrated the delivery of tsRNAs from semen-derived exosomes to spermatozoa. By microinjection of the antisense sequence into in vitro fertilized oocytes and subsequent single-cell RNA-sequencing of embryos, we identified a specific functional tsRNA group (Gln-TTGs) that participate in the early cleavage of porcine preimplantation embryos, probably by regulating cell cycle-associated genes. Thus, specific tsRNAs present in mature spermatozoa play significant roles during preimplantation embryo development.

Project description:High resolution polysome fractionation and low-input ribosome profiling of bovine oocytes and preimplantation embryos has enabled us to define the translational landscape of early embryo development at an unprecedented level. We systematically and comparatively analyzed the transcriptome, polysome- and nonpolysome-bound RNA profiles of bovine oocytes and early embryos at 2-, 8-cell, morula, and blastocyst stage, and defined four modes of translational selectivity in bovine preimplantation embryo development: i. selective translation of non-abundant mRNAs, ii. active translating highly expressed mRNAs, iii. Translationally suppressed abundant mRNAs, and iv. Monosomaly occupied mRNAs. A strong selection towards genes involved in mitochondrial function and metabolic pathways was found throughout bovine preimplantation development. We found translatome largely follows transcriptome at oocytes, followed by a marked translational control at 8-cell embryos, which is gradually synchronized at the morula and blastocyst stage. We identified important novel cellular/embryonic functional regulators that being utilized and prioritized for translation at each developmental stage, that accompanies little-known bovine embryonic developmental programming. Together, these data reveal a unique spatiotemporal translational regulation that accompanies bovine preimplantation development.

Project description:DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that undergoes dynamic changes in mammalian embryogenesis, during which both parental genomes are reprogrammed. Despite the many immunostaining studies that have assessed global methylation, the gene-specific DNA methylation patterns in bovine preimplantation embryos are unknown. Using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing, we determined genome-scale DNA methylation patterns of bovine sperm and individual in vivo developed oocytes and preimplantation embryos. We show that: 1) the major wave of genome-wide demethylation was completed by the 8-cell stage; 2) promoter methylation was significantly and inversely correlated with gene expression at the 8-cell and blastocyst stages; 3) sperm and oocytes have numerous differentially methylated regions (DMRs) - DMRs specific for sperm were strongly enriched in long terminal repeats (LTRs) and rapidly lost methylation in embryos, while the oocyte-specific DMRs were more frequently localized in exons and CpG islands (CGIs) and demethylated gradually across cleavage stages; 4) a unique set of DMRs were found between in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes; and 5) differential methylation between bovine gametes was confirmed in some but not all known imprinted genes. Our data provide insights into deciphering the complex epigenetic reprogramming of bovine early embryos and will serve as an important model for investigating human development and the evolutionary and regulatory roles of DNA methylation.

Project description:We report the first genome-wide landscape of H3K9me2 ChIP-seq profile in mouse oocytes. We also performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and RNA-seq analysis of G9a conditional KO oocytes and maternal KO preimplantation embryos. Our findings illuminate the functional importance of G9a in preimplantation development and, in addition, pose a question on the proposed role for H3K9me2 in protection of the maternal genome from active CG demethylation.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to generate paired-end mRNA Seq transcriptomes of control and Kdm4a mutant oocytes, 2-cell, 4-cell and 8-cell preimplantation embryos to study the dynamics of differentially expressed genes during early development Methods: MII oocytes were isolated from wildtype and Kdm4a knockout mice. 16 MII oocytes from each genotype were washed in M2 medim after zona pellucida removal, washed once in nuclease free water and directly lysed and cDNA prepared according to the manufacturers instructions. Meanwhile, control and knockout MII oocytes were also in vitro fertilised with Kdm4a knockout sperm to produce control (+/-) and maternal mutant (-/-) embryos, and cultured in KSOM EmbryoMax medium (Sigma). 16 embryos were staged each day and harvested according to control embryos. Healthiest mutants were chosen for comparison with minimal secondary effects arising from dead/dying embryos. Similar to oocytes, individual cDNA were prepared and amplified according to manufacturers instructions in nuclease free conditions. Conclusions: Our study represents a detailed analysis of differentially expressed genes in oocytes and embryos lacking maternal and endogenous Kdm4a, with sixteen biological replicates, generated by SMARTSeq v4 paired end RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles between the samples at each developmental stage. Our results show that there is a consistent downrgulation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes in the mutant 2-cell embryos. Mutant 4 and 8-cell embryos have significant upregulation of minor ZGA genes giving us robust statistical significance. We conclude that Kdm4a is required for proper gene activation during maternal-to zygotic transition in conjuction with a permissive chromatin landscape.

Project description:Pigs are important animals for agricultural and biomedical research, and its assisted reproductive technologies are urgently needed to be improved. Determining the underlying mechanism of epigenetic reprogramming in the early stage of preimplantation embryos derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF), parthenogenesis (PA) and androgenesis (AG), will not only contribute to assisted reproduction technologies of pigs but also will shed light into early human development. We generated 3D chromatin profiles for pig somatic cells, IVF, PA and AG preimplantation embryos. We found that the chromosomes in the pig preimplantation embryos are enriched for superdomains, i.e., the larger than 10M compartment domains, which are much rarer in mice. Wheras, p(s) curves, compartments and TADs, are largely conserved in somatic cells, and are gradually establishing during preimplantation embryogenesis. In the uniparental pig embryos, the establishment of chromatin architecture was highly asynchronized at all levels from IVF embryos, and a remarkably strong decompartmentalization was observed during zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Finally, chromosomes originating from oocytes always establish TADs faster than chromosomes originating from sperm, both before and during ZGA.
