Project description:Whereas cloning mammals by direct somatic cell nuclear transfer has been successful using a wide range of donor cell types, neurons from adult brain remain M-bM-^@M-^\unclonableM-bM-^@M-^] for unknown reasons. Here we examined whether neurons from adult mice could be cloned, using a combination of two epigenetic approaches. First, we used a specific antibody to discover cell types with reduced amounts of a repressive histone mark - dimethylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me2) - and identified CA1 pyramidal cells in the hippocampus and Purkinje cells in the cerebellum as candidates. Second, reconstructed embryos were treated with trichostatin A (TSA), a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor. Using CA1 cells, cloned offspring were obtained at high rates, reaching 10.2% and 4.6% (per embryos transferred) for male and female donors, respectively. Cerebellar Purkinje cell nuclei were too large to maintain their genetic integrity during nuclear transfer, leading to developmental arrest of embryos. However, gene expression analysis using cloned blastocysts corroborated a high rate of genomic reprogrammability of CA1 pyramidal and Purkinje cells. Neurons from the hippocampal dentate gyrus and cerebral cortex, which had higher amounts of H3K9me2, could also be used for producing cloned offspring, but the efficiencies were low. A more thorough analysis revealed that TSA treatment was essential for cloning adult neuronal cells. This study demonstrated for the first time that adult neurons could be cloned by nuclear transfer. Furthermore, our data imply that reduced amounts of H3K9me2 and increased histone acetylation appear to act synergistically to improve the development of cloned embryos. Comparative gene expression analyses using blastocysts of cloned embryos were performed by microarray. Cloned embryos were produced with three different types of donor cells (neonatal Sertoli cells, CA1 pyramidal cells and Purkinje cells) and all cloned embryos were treated with Trichostatin A (TSA). Each embryos were cultured for 96 h and blastocysts derived from each donor cell types were subjected to gene expression microarray. For comparison of gene expression, the data sets of control sex- and genotype-matched embryos produced by in vitro fertilization and SCNT-derived blastocysts from cumulus cells treated with TSA from our previous paper (Inoue K. et al. Science 2010) were also used.

Project description:A long-standing question in developmental and reproductive biology is when the mammalian embryo becomes sufficiently distinct from its oocyte precursor. Myriads of studies examined the messenger RNAs that change during the oocyte-to-embryo transition, whereas proteins have been much less studied, in spite of their greater vicinity to phenotype. In the present study we modified the widely used embryo culture medium KSOM (PMID 12470333, PMID 10859270) to make it apt for our application. We replaced the serum albumin with polyvinylpyrrolidone and also replaced the natural Arginine and Lysine with their “heavy” isotopic variants Arginine 13C 15N and Lysine 13C 15N. Fertilized oocytes were retrieved from oviducts of gonadotropin-primed B6C3F1 females mated to CD1 males, and cultured at 37 degrees Celsius under 5% CO2 in KSOM containing 0.3 mM Arginine 13C 15N and 0.2 mM Lysine 13C 15N, which are the regular concentrations of these two amino acids in KSOM medium (PMID 12470333; PMID 10859270). After 4 days of culture, the embryos of the isotopic group had undergone blastocyst formation just like the control embryos cultured in normal medium. Samples of approx. 500 “heavy”-labeled blastocysts were collected zona-free and subjected to mass spectrometric analysis. The median labeling rate was 83%, ranging from 0% in proteins that did not incorporate any Arginine 13C 15N and Lysine 13C 15N, to 100% in proteins that were completely labeled. Our study demonstrates that a commonly used, chemically defined medium can be adapted for Stable Isotope Labeling by/with Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) and combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry, in a preimplantation embryo setting. This allows to tackle long-standing questions in developmental and reproductive biology, such as the identification of putative maternal (0% labeled), putative embryonic (100% labeled) or shared proteins in live mammalian embryos.

Project description:40-PE Smart-Seq of RNA isolated from single 2-cell embryos, single morulae, single blastocysts, single E7 embryos epiblast halves and single E7 trophectoderm halves. For all preimplantation stages, embryos were grown ex-vivo from three experimental groups of zygotes: zygotes injected with the mRNA of a recombinant OGA (named BtGH84) (Btgh_injected), zygotes injected with a catalytically dead version of BtGH84 (dBtgh_injected) (control nr.1) and non-injected zygotes (non_injected) (control nr.2). Postimplantation E7 embryos were grown from two experimental group of zygotes: Btgh-injected and dBtgh-injected (control) and transferred at the 2-cell stage to foster mothers. All samples from the same embryonic stage were processed for single embryo (or single-embryo single-tissue) Smart-Seq library preparation at the same time and then sequenced in the same NextSeq500 run. The different embryonic stages were processed on different days and sequenced in different NextSeq500 runs.

Project description:Cloning mammals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is highly inefficient because of aberrant genomic reprogramming. In addition to random reprogramming errors, we hypothesized the presence of specific errors as evidenced by common anomalies among clones. We found that Xist, which normally inactivates one of the two X chromosomes in females, was ectopically expressed from the active X (Xa) chromosome in cloned mouse embryos of both sexes. Deletion of Xist on Xa normalized global gene expression and produced about a 10-fold increase in cloning efficiency. We also identified an Xist-independent mechanism that specifically downregulated a subset of X-linked genes through somatic-type repressive histone blocks. Thus, we have identified nonrandom reprogramming errors in mouse cloning, which provide promising targets for breakthroughs in SCNT cloning technology. Gene expression were measured in mouse in vitro fertilized and somatic cell cloned blastocysts. More than three biological replicates were performed in each group using defferent nuclear donor cells.

Project description:To identify the genes that are controled by H3K9me3 modification in PEs, we conducted transcriptome analysis using Egfp-, Kdm4b-PEs, and IVF embryos at blastocyst stages. Kdm4b or Egfp mRNA injected oocytes were parthenogenetically activated. IVF embryos were generated according to standard protcol. All embryos were cultured in KSOM medium for 120 hours after activation or sperm insemination. Five blastocysts per one biological replicate were pooled and analyzed.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify changes on the CSF2 embryo transcriptome that make them more able to become a blastocyst and more likely to survive after transfer. Embryos were treated with CSF2 at day 5 after fertilization and at day 6 morulae and blastocysts were select for the microarray analysis. A total of 160 genes that had a 1.5-fold difference in expression and a significance of P M-bM-^IM-$ 0.05 could be annotated. Analysis of the data identified 13 biological process ontologies that could be grouped into four functional groups (development and differentiation process, cell communication, apoptosis and cell adhesion). Experimental conditions: CSF2 treated vs. CSF2 nontreated bovine in vitro produced preimplantation embryos. Biological replicates: CSF2 treated vs. nontreated bovine preimplantation embryos were used in a dye switch two-color microarray experimental design. Ratio data was not used in these experiments.

Project description:Although mammalian cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been established in various species, the low developmental efficiency has hampered its practical applications. Treatment of SCNT-derived embryos with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors can improve their development, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. To address this question, we analysed gene expression profiles of SCNT-derived 2-cell mouse embryos treated with trichostatin A (TSA), a potent HDAC inhibitor that is best used for mouse cloning. Unexpectedly, TSA had no effect on the numbers of aberrantly expressed genes or the overall gene expression pattern in the embryos. However, in-depth investigation by gene ontology and functional analyses revealed that TSA treatment specifically improved the expression of a small subset of genes encoding transcription factors and their regulatory factors, suggesting their positive involvement in de novo RNA synthesis. Indeed, introduction of one of such transcription factors, Spi-C, into the embryos at least partially mimicked the TSA-induced improvement in embryonic development by activating gene networks associated with transcriptional regulation. Thus, the effects of TSA treatment on embryonic gene expression did not seem to be stochastic, but more specific than expected, targeting genes that direct development and trigger zygotic genome activation at the 2-cell stage. Gene expression were measured in mouse unfertilized oocytes, in vitro fertilized, somatic cell cloned embryos and cumulus cells. Somatic cell cloned embryos were treated with/without TSA or Spi-C mRNA and subjected at 2-cell stage. More than four biological replicates were performed in each group.
