Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) into an enucleated oocyte can reprogram a differentiated nucleus to a totipotent state. However, the time course of transcriptional reprogramming has not been determined. To monitor the inactivation of somatic genes after SCNT in the bovine model system, we determined transcript levels of 159 genes highly expressed in fetal fibroblast nuclear donor cells, but not in metaphase II recipient oocytes. For 18 of these genes significantly higher transcript levels were found in four-cell SCNT embryos compared with four-cell embryos derived by in vitro fertilization (IVF), indicating incomplete silencing of somatic genes at this stage. RNA sequencing revealed that nearly 600 genes with no transcripts in oocytes were activated in eight-cell IVF embryos, in agreement with major embryonic genome activation (EGA). De novo transcription in SCNT embryos was delayed (16 genes before the 16-cell stage, 300 and >800 genes at the 16-cell and blastocyst stages). Intron-containing primary transcripts as another option to detect embryonic gene transcription revealed activation of >2,200 genes in IVF embryos at the eight-cell stage, while only 828 genes were activated in SCNT embryos. At the 16-cell stage, a higher number of activated genes was found in SCNT (1,917) than in IVF embryos (738). Self-organizing tree algorithm clustering confirmed that in SCNT embryos transcription of genes that are normally activated during major EGA is delayed. Our study provides detailed insight into the timing of genome activation in cloned embryos that is substantially different from IVF embryos in spite of similar developmental kinetics.

Project description:Although somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning is more efficient in bovine than in all other species tested so far, there is a high rate of pregnancy failure that has been linked to structural and functional abnormalities of the placenta. We tested the hypothesis that these changes may originate from disturbed embryo-maternal interactions in the pre-implantation period. Therefore, we evaluated the transcriptome response of the endometrium to SCNT embryos (produced from five different donor cell cultures) as compared to embryos derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF). SCNT embryos and IVF embryos were cultured under identical conditions to the blastocyst stage (Day 8) and transferred to recipients. The recipients were slaughtered at day 18 of pregnancy and the uterus was recovered. Pregnancy was verified by the presence of at least one normally developed embryo. Transcriptome profiling of endometrium samples using a custom cDNA microarray covering transcripts expressed in the endometrium and/or oviduct epithelium revealed 58 transcripts that were differently abundant between endometrium samples from SCNT vs. IVF pregnancies. Prominent examples are NR2F2 (encoding the orphan nuclear receptor COUP-TFII) and GJA1 (encoding connexin 43). Both transcripts are known to play important roles in placentation and were significantly less abundant in endometrium from SCNT vs. IVF pregnancies. These findings suggest that placental failure in bovine clone pregnancies may originate from abnormal embryo-maternal communication already in the pre- or peri-implantation period. Endometrium transcriptome profiles may serve as a novel readout to evaluate SCNT embryos for their ability to induce pregnancy with a functional placenta. Keywords: response to different embryos Nineteen German Fleckvieh (Simmental) heifers were slaughtered at day 18 of pregnancy. Cycle-synchronized recipient heifers received either IVP or SCNT embryos at day 7 of the estrous cycle. Animals were slaughtered at day 18. Endometrial (intercaruncular) tissue samples were obtained from 10 pregnant animals after transfer of IVP embryos and from 9 pregnant animals after transfer of SCNT embryos.

Project description:As a histone hallmark for transcription repression, Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) plays important roles in mammalian embryo development and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generation. However, the expression profile and roles of H3K27me3 in bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) reprogramming remain poorly understood. In this study, we find SCNT embryos exhibit global hypermethylation of H3K27me3 from two-cell to eight-cell stage and its removal by ectopically expressed H3K27me3 demethylase-KDM6A could greatly improves SCNT efficiency. To illuminate the mechanism of improving SCNT reprogramming efficiency of KDM6A overexpression, we performed RNA sequencing of transcripts in SCNT morula with or without KDM6A overexpression. RNA-seq reveal that KDM6A overexpression could enhance transcription of genes mainly involved cell adhesion and cellular metabolism process, as well as X-linked genes. We first provides the transcriptome data of bovine SCNT morula with or without KDM6A overexpression. Meanwhile, we compared the differences of transcriptome between SCNT eight-cell embryos and morula. Our study provide a more promising approach to improving the efficiency of SCNT reprogramming and contribute to understanding the mechanism of first cell fate determine during embryo development in bovine.

Project description:Animal cloning has been achieved in many species by transplanting differentiated cell nuclei to unfertilized oocytes. However, the low efficiencies of cloning have remained an unresolved issue. We find that the combination of two small molecules, trichostatin A (TSA) and vitamin C (VC), under culture condition with deionized bovine serum albumin (dBSA), dramatically improves the cloning efficiency in mice and 15% of cloned embryos develop to term by means of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). RNA-seq analyses of SCNT embryos at the 2-cell stage revealed that the treatment with TSA, followed by the VC treatment, resulted in the upregulated expression of the previously identified reprogramming-resistant genes. Moreover, the expression of 2-cell-specific retroelements was upregulated by the sequential treatment with TSA and VC. The best condition for reprogramming is to add TSA for 8 hours after nuclear transfer and then SCNT embryos are further cultured with VC for 7 hours.

Project description:We aimed to identify a reprogramming factor in mammalian oocytes. DJ-1 is one candidate gene of the factor. Inhibition of DJ-1 function in nuclear transfer embryos affected developmental abilities. The downstream effect of this DJ-1 inhibition was examined using microarrays. Nuclear transfer (NT) embryos (23-26 embryos per each sample) were collected at 28 h after nuclear transfer when many of the embryos had just reached the 2-cell stage. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized on the Affymetrix GeneChip Porcine Genome Array. Global transcripts were compared among NT embryos injected with anti-DJ1 antibody (αDJ1-NT_1), NT embryos injected with IgG (IgG-NT_1), non-injected NT embryos (NT_1) and donor cells (DonorCell_1). Biologically different samples of αDJ1-NT (αDJ1-NT_2) and IgG-NT (IgG-NT_2) were prepared and the microarray analysis was repeated. In both trials, NT embryos injected with IgG (IgG-NT_1 or IgG-NT_2) were used as controls.

Project description:Since the first cloned animal Dolly Sheep was successfully created by using somatic cell nuclear transfer(SCNT) technique. It has become an irreplaceable tool to understand nuclear reprogramming and totipotency and holds huge potentials for regenerative medicine. However, extremely poor development rate of SCNT embryos indicates it is still questionable. The nature of reprogramming oocyte factors and their mechanism of action remain largely unknown.It is evident that the major barrier that hinders the developing iSCNT embryo mainly appears at the time of embryonic genome activation (EGA), which primarily occurs at the eight-cell stage in mammalian. The interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) is desired model for nuclear reprogramming research and a powerful tool for discovering the master genome activation genes. In this study, a valuable transcriptome recourse of iSCNT embryos was established, which derived from more than 2000 clone embryos of four different inter-family donor cells. Based on weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) approach, we provide an extensive transcriptome analysis of differentially expressed genes(DEG) for iSCNT embryos. The total gene expression patterns of different iSCNT embryos were discussed. 26 cell-specific modules with were identified, and those module significance and GO enriched categories were analyzed. The regulatory pathways of reprogramming barriers were further enriched. As master genome trigger genes, the transcripts related to TFIID subunit, RNA polymerase and Mediator were incomplete activated in iSCNT embryos. This indicated that pioneer factors, present in the cytoplasm of the oocyte, were failed to bind the sequence target on the heterology nuclear genome. This genomic incompatibility between the nuclear donor cell and the cytoplast may be as a major contributing factor causes the developmental failure of iSCNT cloned embryos. This study demonstrates that the iSCNT embryos undergoes only partial or incomplete reprogramming at eight-cell stage in mammalian. Our results offered convincing evidence that the abnormal expression of key master pathways may be caused the embryo developmental block of cloning embryo. This work will contribute to a better understanding of the molecular interaction between nuclear–cytoplasmic interaction and provides insight into the molecular determinants of nuclear reprogramming, human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-based therapies and rescuing highly endangered species.
