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:Dynamic changes in DNA methylation are crucial in the epigenetic regulation of mammalian embryogenesis. Global DNA methylation studies in the bovine, however, remain mostly at the immunostaining level. We adopted the single-cell whole genome bisulfite sequencing (scWGBS) method to characterize stage-specific genome-wide DNA methylation in bovine sperm, individual oocytes derived in vivo and in vitro, as well as in vivo developed embryos at the 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-cell stages. This method allowed us to theoretically cover all CpG sites in the genome using single oocytes or embryos. We found that the major wave of genome-wide DNA demethylation was complete at the 8-cell stage when de novo methylation became prominent. Sperm and oocytes were differentially methylated in numerous regions (DMRs) which were enriched in intergenic regions, indicating these noncoding regions play important roles in gamete specification. DMRs were also identified between in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes. Moreover, X chromosome methylation followed the global dynamic patterns. Virtually no (less than 1.5%) DNA methylation was found in mitochondrial DNA. Finally, using our RNA-seq data generated from the same developmental stages, we revealed an inverse correlation between gene expression and promoter methylation. Our study provides the first fully comprehensive analysis of the global dynamics of DNA methylation in bovine gametes and single early embryos using scWGBS. These data provide insights into the critical features of the methylome of bovine embryos, and serve as an important reference for embryos produced by assisted reproduction, such as in vitro fertilization and cloning, and a model for human early embryo epigenetic regulation.

Project description:This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of gene expression and transcriptome dynamics of bovine metaphase II oocytes and in vivo developing bovine embryos. For this study, Affymetrix GeneChip Bovine Genome Array which covers ~23,000 transcripts was used, which revealed several distinct clusters of genes regulated during various stages of bovine preimplantation development.

Project description:Maternal nutrition exclusively during the periconceptional period can induce remarkable effects on both oocyte maturation and early embryo development, which in turn can have lifelong consequences. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of maternal methionine supplementation on the transcriptome of bovine preimplantation embryos. Holstein cows were randomly assigned to one of two treatments differing in level of dietary methionine (1.89 Met vs. 2.43 Met % of metabolizable protein) from calving until embryo flushing. High quality preimplantation embryos from individual cows were pooled and then analyzed by RNA sequencing.

High quality preimplantation embryos from individual cows were pooled and then analyzed by RNA sequencing. A total of eight Holstein dairy cows were used in this study. Preimplantation embryos recovered from each cow were pooled in order to generate two replicates per cow assayed. Each pool consisted of 2-4 expanded blastocysts with excellent quality. Overall, a total of 16 embryo pools underwent RNA extraction, amplification, and subsequent sequencing.

Project description:Upon fertilization, extensive chromatin reprogramming occurs during preimplantation development. Growing evidence reveals species-dependent regulations of this process in mammals. ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor SMARCA5 (also known as SNF2H) is required for peri-implantation development in mice. However, the specific functional role of SMARCA5 in preimplantation development and if it is conserved among species remain unclear. Herein, comparative analysis of public RNA-seq datasets reveals that SMARCA5 is universally expressed during oocyte maturation and preimplantation development in mice, cattle, humans and pigs with species-specific patterns. Immunostaining analysis further describes the temporal and spatial changes of SMARCA5 in both mouse and bovine models. siRNA-mediated SMARCA5 depletion reduces the developmental capability and compromises the specification and differentiation of inner cell mass in mouse preimplantation embryos. Indeed, OCT4 is not restricted into the inner cell mass and the formation of epiblast and primitive endoderm disturbed with reduced NANOG and SOX17 in SMARCA5-deficient blastocysts. RNA-seq analysis shows SMARCA5 depletion causes limited effects on the transcriptomics at the morula stage, however, dysregulates 402 genes, including genes involved in transcription regulation and cell proliferation at the blastocyst stage in mice. By comparison, SMARCA5 depletion does not affect the development through the blastocyst stage but significantly compromises the blastocyst quality in cattle. Primitive endoderm formation is greatly disrupted with reduced GATA6 in bovine blastocysts. Overall, our studies demonstrate the importance of SMARCA5 in fostering the preimplantation development in mice and cattle while there are species-specific effects.

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.
