Constraint and divergence of global gene expression in the mammalian embryo

ABSTRACT: We profiled genome-wide gene expression of 170 individual mid-gestation (embryonic day 11.5) whole mouse embryos derived from a 2-generation interspecies mouse cross and asked to what extent genetic variation drives four important parameters of regulatory architecture: allele-specific expression (ASE), imprinting, trans-regulatory effects, and maternal effect. The inbred strain C57BL/6J and wild-derived inbred strain CAST/EiJ were used in reciprocal crosses to generate F1 embryos. F1 progeny were backcrossed to C57BL/6J in reciprocal crosses to generate 154 N2 embryos. We employed a backcross design, in which N2 offspring have genotypically distinct parents, to enable comparison of gene expression for offspring from each side of the reciprocal cross. Our findings demonstrate that genetic variation contributes to widespread gene expression differences during mammalian embryogenesis. Transcriptome analysis of E11.5 mouse embryos: 16 F1 embryos from reciprocally crossed C57BL/6J and CastEi/J parents; and 154 N2 embryos from reciprocal backcross of F1s to the C57BL/6J parent.

The effects of genetic variation on gene regulation in the developing mammalian embryo remain largely unexplored. To globally quantify these effects, we crossed two divergent mouse strains and asked how genotype of the mother or of the embryo drives gene expression phenotype genomewide. Embryonic expression of 331 genes depends on the genotype of the mother. Embryonic genotype controls allele-specific expression of 1594 genes and a highly overlapping set of cis-expression quantitative trait loci ...[more]

Project description:JARID2 ChIP-seq profile mediated by Xist was investigated using two separate approaches: In the first approach, we use the TX1072 female embryonic stem cell (ESC) line; this is a genetically polymorphic ESC line derived from a mouse with one X-chromosome (X-chr) from the Mus musculus castaneus (Cast) origin and the other of Mus musculus domesticus, C57BL/6 (BL6) strain origin, containing an inducible promoter on the BL6 Xist allele; differentiation and simultaneous induction of Xist for 4 days results in the inactivation of ONLY the BL6-derived X-chr and coating by JARID2 protein. We analysed this ESC line in the undifferentiated state, in which both X-chrs are active (and not coated by JARID2), and also after 4 days of differentiation under Xist inducible conditions, in which cells display one inactive X-chr from BL6 origin and one Xa of the Cast origin; the presence of SNPs allows for the comparison of the degree and localisation of JARID2 enrichment on the inactive X-chr versus the active X-chr; our results suggests that JARID2 is enriched on the inactive X-chr chromosome-wide and not in confined peaks as elsewhere in the genome; This pattern resembles patterns of Xist enrichment published before (Engreitz et al., 2013). In the second approach, we use a male ESC line that carries an inducible Xist transgene (TG) on chromosome 11 (chr11) (Wutz et al., 2000) in the presence (36:11 WT) or the absence of Eed (36:11 Eed-/-) Induction of Xist TG results in Xist coating and enrichment of JARID2 across the chr11, regardless of the presence of Eed when assess by IF/Xist RNA FISH experiments. We compare inducible and uninducible condition in both the 36:11 WT and Eed-/- ESCs; this way, we could assess the Xist-mediated JARID2 recruitment and the effect of the absence of Eed-/-; Our results shows that Xist induction result in a chromosome-wide enrichment of JARID2 on chr11, in a manner that resembles enrichment on the inactive X-chr; this pattern seem to be independent of EED, showing that in contrast to other regions in the genome where JARID2 occupancy is abrogated in the absence of EED, Xist-mediated JARID2 recruitment is not affected.
