Resetting histone modifications during human parental-to-zygotic transition

ABSTRACT: Histone modifications regulate gene expression and development. To address how they are reprogrammed in human early development, we investigated key histone marks in human oocytes and early embryos. Unlike that in mouse, the permissive mark H3K4me3 largely exhibits canonical patterns at promoters in human oocytes. After fertilization, pre-zygotic genome activation (ZGA) embryos acquire permissive chromatin and widespread H3K4me3 in CpG-rich regulatory regions. By contrast, the repressive mark H3K27me3 undergoes global depletion. CpG-rich regulatory regions then resolve to either active or repressed states upon ZGA, followed by subsequent restoration of H3K27me3 at developmental genes. Finally, through combining chromatin and transcriptome maps, we revealed transcription circuitry and asymmetric H3K27me3 patterning during early lineage specification. Collectively, our data unveil a priming phase connecting human parental-to-zygotic epigenetic transition.

Analysis of chromatin landscapes in early human development reveals epigenetic transition during ZGA

Project description:Upon fertilization, drastic chromatin reorganization occurs during human preimplantation development. However, the global chromatin landscape and its molecular dynamics in this period remain largely unexplored. Deciphering such process is crucial for understanding both early human development and in vitro fertilization. Here, we investigated genome-wide chromatin accessibility in human preimplantation embryos by employing an improved ATAC-seq that uses as few as 20 cells. We found widespread accessible chromatin in early human embryos that overlaps extensively with putative cis-regulatory sequences and transposable elements. Integrative analyses showed both conservation and divergence in regulatory circuitry between human and mouse early development, and between naïve human pluripotency in vivo and human embryonic stem cells. Surprisingly, we also found widespread open chromatin at the 2-cell stage despite its minimal transcription activities. Such accessible chromatin loci are readily found at CpG-rich promoters. Unexpectedly, many others are located in distal regions enriched for transcription factor binding sites and overlap with partially methylated domains (PMDs) in human oocytes. A large portion of these regions then rapidly become inaccessible upon zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Importantly, such drastic transition of chromatin accessibility during ZGA is well conserved in mouse embryos. Furthermore, it strongly correlates with the reprogramming of non-canonical H3K4me3 (ncH3K4me3), a form of histone mark that is uniquely present in oocytes and pre-ZGA embryos and contributes to genome silencing. Finally, both the reprogramming of chromatin accessibility and ncH3K4me3 during ZGA is completely blocked upon transcription inhibition, indicating a critical role of zygotic transcription in shaping early epigenomes. Together, these data revealed conserved chromatin state transition during ZGA in human and mouse early development.

Marking of the genome by H3K4 methylation prior to embryonic gene activation

Project description:Early zebrafish embryo development proceeds first from a maternally transcribed and stored mRNAs, and zygotic gene activation (ZGA) is initiated at the mid-blastula transition (MBT; 1000-cell stage), 3.3 h post-fertilization. Very little is known on how the zygotic genome is programmed for transcriptional activation at the MBT. To start addressing this issue, we have mapped by ChIP-chip genome-wide promoter histone methylation (H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3) and RNA Pol II profiles before ZGA (256-cell stage; 2.5 hpf), during ZGA (MBT; 3.5 hpf)) and after ZGA (Post-MBT; 5.3 hpf) . We used a custom 2.1M probe HD promoter array (Nimblegen) for ChIP and input DNA hybridization. Peak detection was done using MA2C with P=10e-4 as cutoff. ChIP-chip experiments were performed from chromatin prepared by sonication after formaldehyde cross-linking, from embryos are the indicated developmental stages and ChIP DNA was hybridized onto the aforementioned Nimbegen promoter arrays.

Ultrasensitive proteomics depicted an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. Metaphase II (MII) oocytes and zygotes (one-cell embryo) serve as the mature oocyte and the initiation of pre-implantation embryo development respectively, and characterizing their molecular landscapes at protein levels plays an important role in uncovering MZT and zygotic genome activation (ZGA )in mammals. Here we used an ultrasensitive proteomic approach to depict an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse MZT.

Establishment of Developmental Gene Silencing by Ordered Polycomb Complex Recruitment in Early Zebrafish Embryos [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Vertebrate embryos achieve developmental competency during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) by establishing chromatin states that silence yet poise developmental genes for subsequent lineage-specific activation. Here, we reveal how developmental gene poising is established de novo in preZGA zebrafish embryos. Poising is established at promoters and enhancers that initially contain open/permissive chromatin with ‘Placeholder’ nucleosomes (bearing H2A.Z, H3K4me1, and H3K27ac), and DNA hypomethylation. Silencing is initiated by the recruitment of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), and H2Aub1 deposition by catalytic Rnf2 during preZGA and ZGA stages. During postZGA, H2Aub1 enables Aebp2-containing PRC2 recruitment and H3K27me3 deposition. Notably, preventing H2Aub1 (via Rnf2 inhibition) eliminates recruitment of Aebp2-PRC2 and H3K27me3, and elicits transcriptional upregulation of certain developmental genes during ZGA. However, upregulation is independent of H3K27me3 – establishing H2Aub1 as the critical silencing modification at ZGA. Taken together, we reveal the logic and mechanism for establishing poised/silent developmental genes in early vertebrate embryos.

Loss of SETD1B results in the redistribution of genomic H3K4me3 in the oocyte [RNA-seq]

Project description:Histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is an epigenetic mark found at active gene promoters and CpG islands. H3K4me3 is essential for mammalian development, yet mechanisms underlying its genomic targeting are poorly understood. H3K4me3 methyltransferases SETD1B and MLL2 are essential for oogenesis. We investigated changes in H3K4me3 in Setd1b conditional knockout (cKO) GV oocytes using ultra-low input ChIP-seq, in complement to DNA methylation and gene expression analysis. Setd1b cKO oocytes showed a redistribution of H3K4me3, with a marked loss at active gene promoters associated with downregulated gene expression. Remarkably, many regions gained H3K4me3 in Setd1b cKOs, in particular those that were DNA hypomethylated, transcriptionally inactive and CpG-rich. All of these are hallmarks of MLL2 targets; thus, loss of SETD1B appears to enable enhanced MLL2 activity. Our work reveals two distinct, complementary mechanisms of genomic targeting of H3K4me3 in oogenesis, with SETD1B linked to transcriptional activity and MLL2 to CpG content.
