Genome-wide maps of H3K36me3 in MII oocytes and H3K9me3 in 2-cell embryos

ABSTRACT: We report the application of low input high-throughput profiling of histone modifications in mouse oocytes and 2-cell embryos. We used antibodies against H3K36me3 (190 wildtype and 93 knockout MIIcoocytes pooled as one replicate) and H3K9me3 ( around 118 control and MZ embryos / replicate; 1 biological replicates per genotype). In the case of H3K36me3, we find that its establishment and maintence is not affected in oocytes lacking Kdm4a. In the case of H3K9me3 in 2-cell embryos, we find that the histone mark aberrantly gained in Kdm4a deficient oocytes is also maintained in the MZ mutant 2-cell embryo. This shows that Kdm4a is important to keep open chromatin clear of H3K9me3 spreading in oocytes in order to transfer a healthy epigenome amenable for proper genome activation post fertilization.

Genome-wide maps of H3K4me3, H3K9me3 chromatin states in control and Kdm4a knockout oocytes

Project description:We report the application of low input high-throughput profiling of histone modifications in mouse oocytes. Using antibodies against H3K4me3 (100 oocytes/replicate; 2 biological replicates per genotype) and H3K9me3 ( around 300 oocytes/replicate; 2 biological replicates per genotype), we find that they are mutually exclusive in oocytes and this property is lost in oocytes lacking Kdm4a. H3K9me3 is spread into regions of H3K4me3 postive open chromatin which is surprisingly, well preserved leading to a potential bivalency of scale. Altogether, KDM4A is important to keep H3K4me3 marked open chromatin clear of H3K9me3 spreading in oocytes.

KDM4A regulates the maternal-to-zygotic transition by protecting broad H3K4me3 domains from H3K9me3 invasion in oocytes

Project description:The importance of germline-inherited posttranslational histone modification in priming early mammalian development is just emerging1-4. Histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) trimethylation is associated with heterochromatin and gene repression during cell-fate change5, while histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) trimethylation marks active gene promoters6. Mature oocytes are transcriptionally quiescent and possess remarkably broad domains of H3K4me3 (bdH3K4me3)1, 2. It remains unknown, which factors contribute to the maintenance of the bdH3K4me3 landscape. Lysine-specific demethylase 4A (KDM4A) demethylates H3K9me3 at promoters marked by H3K4me3 in actively transcribing somatic cells7. Here, we report that KDM4A-mediated H3K9me3 demethylation at bdH3K4me3 in oocytes is crucial for normal preimplantation development and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) after fertilization. Loss of KDM4A in oocytes causes extensive and aberrant H3K9me3 spreading at bdH3K4me3, resulting in insufficient transcriptional activation ZGA genes, endogenous retroviral elements and long terminal repeat -initiated chimeric transcripts in 2-cell embryos. The catalytic activity of KDM4A is essential for normal epigenetic reprogramming and preimplantation development. Hence, KDM4A plays a crucial role in preserving maternal epigenome integrity required for proper ZGA and transfer of developmental control to the embryo.

Histone Demethylase-Assisted Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Facilitates Derivation of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:The extremely low efficiency of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) derivation using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) limits potential application. Blastocyst formation from human SCNT embryos occurs at a low rate and with only some oocyte donors. We previously showed in mice that reduction of histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) through ectopic expression of the H3K9me3 demethylase Kdm4d greatly improves SCNT embryo development. Here we show that overexpression of a related H3K9me3 demethylase KDM4A improves human SCNT, and that, as in mice, H3K9me3 in the human somatic cell genome is an SCNT reprogramming barrier. Overexpression of KDM4A significantly improves the blastocyst formation rate in human SCNT embryos by facilitating transcriptional reprogramming, allowing derivation of NTESCs from all oocyte donors tested using adult AMD patient somatic nuclei donors. This conserved mechanistic insight has potential applications for improving SCNT in a variety of contexts, including regenerative medicine. Here we perform RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling in human Donor (fibroblast cells), in vitro fertilized embryos at 8-cell stages (IVF_8Cell), somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos at 8-cell stages (SCNT_8Cell), SCNT assisted by KDM4A 8-cell embryos (SCNT_KDM4A_8Cell). Besides, we also perform RNA-seq in Control human ES cells (CTR_hES) and SCNT assisted by KDM4A derived human ES cells (NTK) with duplicates.Â

SMARTSeq_v4 paired end mRNA Seq of Kdm4a control mutant oocytes and preimplantation embryos

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to generate paired-end mRNA Seq transcriptomes of control and Kdm4a mutant oocytes, 2-cell, 4-cell and 8-cell preimplantation embryos to study the dynamics of differentially expressed genes during early development Methods: MII oocytes were isolated from wildtype and Kdm4a knockout mice. 16 MII oocytes from each genotype were washed in M2 medim after zona pellucida removal, washed once in nuclease free water and directly lysed and cDNA prepared according to the manufacturers instructions. Meanwhile, control and knockout MII oocytes were also in vitro fertilised with Kdm4a knockout sperm to produce control (+/-) and maternal mutant (-/-) embryos, and cultured in KSOM EmbryoMax medium (Sigma). 16 embryos were staged each day and harvested according to control embryos. Healthiest mutants were chosen for comparison with minimal secondary effects arising from dead/dying embryos. Similar to oocytes, individual cDNA were prepared and amplified according to manufacturers instructions in nuclease free conditions. Conclusions: Our study represents a detailed analysis of differentially expressed genes in oocytes and embryos lacking maternal and endogenous Kdm4a, with sixteen biological replicates, generated by SMARTSeq v4 paired end RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles between the samples at each developmental stage. Our results show that there is a consistent downrgulation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes in the mutant 2-cell embryos. Mutant 4 and 8-cell embryos have significant upregulation of minor ZGA genes giving us robust statistical significance. We conclude that Kdm4a is required for proper gene activation during maternal-to zygotic transition in conjuction with a permissive chromatin landscape.

Identification of epigenetic barrier that prevents reprogramming in somatic cell nuclear transfer

Project description:Mammalian oocytes can reprogram somatic cells into totipotent state, which allows animal cloning through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, the great majority of SCNT embryos fail to develop to term due to poorly defined reprogramming defects. Here we demonstrate that histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) in donor nuclei is a major epigenetic barrier that prevents efficient nuclear reprogramming in mouse oocytes. Comparative transcriptome analysis of early embryos revealed reprogramming resistant regions (RRRs) where transcriptional activation at 2-cell embryos is inhibited by SCNT compared to in vitro fertilization (IVF). RRRs significantly overlap with H3K9me3 enrichment in donor somatic cells. Importantly, removal of the H3K9me3 by ectopic expression of an H3K9me3 demethylase Kdm4d in recipient oocytes not only reactivates most RRRs, but also greatly improves development of SCNT embryos. Furthermore, the use of Suv39h1/2-depleted somatic nuclei as donors also greatly improves the development of SCNT embryos. Our study thus reveals H3K9me3 as an epigenetic barrier in SCNT-mediated reprogramming and provides a feasible method for improving mammalian cloning efficiency.

XIST derepression in active X chromosome hinders pig somatic cell nuclear transfer

Project description:Pig cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) remains extremely inefficient and many cloned embryos undergo abnormal development. Here by profiling transcriptome expression, we observed dysregulated chromosome-wide gene expression in every chromosome and identified a considerable number of genes that are aberrantly expressed in the abnormal cloned embryos. In particular, XIST, a long noncoding RNA gene, showed highly ectopic expression in abnormal embryos. We also proved that nullification of the XIST gene in donor cells can correct aberrant gene expression in cloned embryos and enhance long term development capacity of the embryos. Furthermore, the increased quality of XIST-deficient embryos was associated with the global H3K9me3 reduction. Injection of H3K9me demethylase Kdm4A into NT embryos could improve the development of preimplantation stage embryos. However, Kdm4A addition also induced XIST derepression in the active X chromosome, thus was not able to enhance the in vivo long term developmental capacity of porcine NT embryos.

Loss of DUX causes minor defects in zygotic genome activation and is compatible with mouse development

Project description:How maternal factors in oocytes trigger zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is a long-standing question in developmental biology. Recent studies in 2-cell like embryonic stem cells (2C-like cells) implicate that the DUX family transcription factors are key regulators of ZGA in placental mammals. To characterize the role of DUX in ZGA, we generated Dux cluster knockout (KO) mouse lines. Unexpectedly, we found both Dux zygotic KO (Z-KO) and maternal/zygotic KO (MZ-KO) embryos can survive to adulthood despite showing reduced developmental potential. Furthermore, transcriptome profiling of the MZ-KO embryos revealed that loss of DUX has minimal effect on ZGA and most DUX targets in 2C-like cells are normally activated in MZ-KO embryos. Thus, contrary to the key function in inducing 2C-like cells, our data indicate that DUX only has a minor role in ZGA and loss of DUX is compatible with mouse development.
