Project description:Unveiling the transcriptome of human blastocysts can provide a wealth of important information regarding early embryonic ontology. Comparing the mRNA production of embryos with normal and abnormal karyotypes allows for a deeper understanding of the protein pathways leading to viability and aberrant fetal development. In addition, identifying transcripts specific for normal or abnormal chromosome copy number could aid in the search for secreted substances that could be used to non-invasively identify embryos best suited for IVF embryo transfer. Using RNA-seq, we characterized the transcriptome of 71 normally developing human blastocysts that were karyotypically normal vs. trisomic or monosomic. Every monosomy and trisomy of the autosomal and sex chromosomes were evaluated, mostly in duplicate. We first mapped the transcriptome of three normal embryos and found that a common core of more than 3,000 genes is expressed in all embryos. These genes represent pathways related to actively dividing cells, such as ribosome biogenesis and function, spliceosome, oxidative phosphorylation, cell cycle and metabolic pathways. We then compared transcriptome profiles of aneuploid embryos to those of normal embryos. We observed that non-viable embryos had a large number of dysregulated genes, some showing a hundred-fold difference in expression. On the contrary, sex chromosome abnormalities, XO and XXX displayed transcriptomes more closely mimicking those embryos with 23 normal chromosome pairs. Intriguingly, we identified a set of commonly deregulated genes in the majority of both trisomies and monosomies. This is the first paper demonstrating a comprehensive transcriptome delineation of karyotypic abnormalities found in the human pre-implantation embryo. We believe that this information will contribute to the development of new pre-implantation genetic screening methods as well as a better understanding of the underlying developmental abnormalities of abnormal embryos, fetuses and children.
