Project description:The TET dioxygenases erase mediate DNA dedemethylation in pre-implantation embryos and in primordial germ cells, yet limited studies address their contribution to the global gain of DNA methylation following implantation. Here, we show that Tet1 is expressed and non-redundantly contributes to 5-hydroxymethylctyosine (5hmC) non-redundantly in the pre-gastrulation mouse epiblast. Ablation of Tet1 in primed epiblast cells results in widespread loss of 5hmC associated with gain of 5-methylcytosine at CpG islands and promoters. Moreover, Tet1 is expressed, albeit at lower levels, in the extra-embryonic ectoderm. Tet1-deficiency in the pre-streak mouse embryos causes dysregulation of early lineage regulators in the epiblast and increased expression of metabolic genes in the extra-embryonic ectoderm. Our studies reveal a distinct role of Tet1 in regulating the methylome landscape of the post-implantation mammalian epiblast and a hitherto unknown gene repressive effect in the extra-embryonic lineage, providing insights into the early developmental origins of epigenetic-based basis of imprinting and developmental disorders. Lysates of E6.25 epiblast (E) and extra-embryonic (ExE) tissues were pooled, based on retrospective genotyping, from at least 6 embryos (collected from 2-3 litters). Four pooled biological replicates were collected for each tissue compartment and each genotype, i.e. wild type (wt), Tet1gt/wt (Zwt), Tet1gt/gt(ZZ); in 3 of 4 pooled replicates, the E and ExE samples were obtained from the same litters and given the same numbering. One ExE sample of ZZ was lost. RNA was purified using the RNeasy micro Kit (Qiagen) to obtain 1-10 ng of RNA per pool. RNA quality was assessed using a Bioanalyzer 6000 Pico chip and only samples with RNA integrity number (RIN) > 8.0 were processed further. First-strand cDNA synthesis and amplification was performed by using the SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA amplification kit v3 (Clontech). Libraries were prepared using NEBNext Ultra DNA library prep for Illumina and sequenced on NextSeq 500 in high-output to generate 75-bp single-end reads.  Low quality ends and adapter sequences were trimmed off from the Illumina reads with FastX 0.0.13 and cutadapt 1.7.1. Using FastX and ShortRead 1.16.3, we filtered subsequently small reads (length < 35 bp), polyA-reads (>90% of the bases equal A), ambiguous reads (containing N) and low quality reads (>50% of the bases < Q25).

Project description:The mammalian TET dioxygenases contribute to global waves of DNA demethylation in the zygote and in primordial germ cells, but their involvement during de novo DNA methylation at peri/post-implantation development is unknown. Here, we show novel physiological functions of Tet1 in the pre-primitive streak stage mouse embryo, where it is expressed not only in the primed-state epiblast, but also in the extra-embryonic ectoderm. In the epiblast, Tet1 contributes to DNA methylation patterning, which indirectly results in dominant transcriptional repression involving a Jumonji-family gene Jmjd8. In the extra-embryonic ectoderm, Tet1 suppresses expression of metabolic genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. These lineage-specific gene repressive functions, involving distinct modes of regulation by DNA methylation, counteract precocious differentiation of the embryo prior to the onset of gastrulation. Such dysregulation in the absence of Tet1 are surprisingly tolerated in an inbred strain but results in full embryonic lethality in non-inbred mice, thus implicating a complex but essential role of Tet1 in normal gestational development.

This dataset includes the WGBS/oxWGBS: Methylation and hydroxymethylation profiling of epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) in presence or absence of TET1. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing and oxidative whole genome bisulfite sequencing were performed on two wt EpiLCs (male) and two TET1 knock-out EpiLCs (one male and one female).

Project description:Background: Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that allows a subset of genes to be expressed mono-allelically based on parent-of-origin, and is typically regulated by differential DNA methylation inherited from gametes. Imprinting is pervasive in murine extra-embryonic lineages and, uniquely, the imprinting of several genes has been found to be conferred non-canonically through maternally-inherited repressive histone modification H3K27me3. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of non-canonical imprinting in post-implantation development remain unexplored. Results: We identify imprinted regions in post-implantation epiblast and extra-embryonic ectoderm (ExE) by assaying allelic histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K36me3, H3K27me3), gene expression and DNA methylation in reciprocal C57BL/6 and CAST hybrid embryos. We distinguish loci with DNA methylation- dependent (canonical) and independent (non-canonical) imprinting by assaying hybrid embryos with ablated maternally-inherited DNA methylation. We find that non-canonical imprints are localized to endogenous retrovirus-K (ERVK) long terminal repeats (LTRs), which act as imprinted promoters specifically in extra-embryonic lineages. Transcribed ERVK LTRs are CpG-rich and located in close proximity to gene promoters, and imprinting status is determined by their epigenetic patterning in the oocyte. Finally, we show that oocyte-derived H3K27me3 associates with non-canonical imprints is not maintained beyond pre-implantation development, and is replaced by secondary imprinted DNA methylation on the maternal allele in post-implantation ExE, while being completely silenced by bi-allelic DNA methylation in epiblast. Conclusions: This study reveals distinct epigenetic mechanisms regulating non-canonical imprinted gene expression between embryonic and extra-embryonic development, and identifies an integral role for ERVK LTR repetitive elements.

Project description:Assisted reproductive technology (ART), especially in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer have been widely applied in the treatment of human infertility. However, the accumulating evidences indicate that IVF is associated with low pregnancy rate, placental defect and the metabolic diseases in offspring. Here, we identify ectopic histone H3K4me3 in extraembryonic ectoderm (ExE) as an important reason for embryo implantation failure and extra-embryonic development abnormalities of IVF embryos. IVF manipulation notably disrupt extra-embryonic tissue-specific gene expression, 334 epiblast (Epi)-specific genes and 24 Epi-specific transcription factors were abnormally expressed in ExE of IVF embryos at embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5). Combined histone modification analysis reveal that ectopic H3K4me3 modification at the Epi-active promoter resulted in increased expression of these genes in ExE of IVF embryos at E7.5. By konckdown the expression of H3K4me3 recruited regulator Kmt2e, which highly expressed in IVF embryos, can improve the development of IVF embryo and reduce the abnormal gene expression in ExE. Therefore, our research identifies the abnormal H3K4me3 modification occupied in extra-embryonic tissue may be an important reason for implantation failure and abnormal placental development of IVF embryo.
