Project description:Transcription factor Zscan4 was newly discovered to be a marker of the intermediate state of 2-cell like cells . In addition, WGCNA discovered a strong positive correlation between the expression of Zscan4 and that of MT2/MERVL. Hence, we examined the possibility for Zscan4 as an activator of MT2/MERVL.

Project description:A small subgroup of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) exhibit molecular features similar to those of two-cell embryos (2C). Multiple chromatin modifiers associated with H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) have been implicated in the mediation of the 2C-like transition. However, it remains elusive how H3K9me3 is remodeled and its association with totipotent cells. Here, we analyze the genome-wide change in H3K9me3 in 2C-like transitions. We revealed that a large fraction of trophoblast-stem-cell specific enhancers undergoes loss of H3K9me3 exclusively in MERVL+/Zscan4+ cells during 2C-like transitions.
Project description:We found that Rif1 depletion leads to reduced H3K9me3 levels at 1/3 of the H3K9me3-enriched genomic regions (H3K9me3 peaks), and that reduced H3K9me3 de-represses Zscan4 and other genes that are specific to the 2-Cell stage embryo. Examination of H3K9me3 histone modifications in 2 cell types.
