Transcript profiling of individual twin blastomeres derived by splitting 2-cell stage murine embryos

ABSTRACT: We have examined whether twin blastomeres from 2-cell stage mouse embryos differ in mRNA content. Amplified mRNA from 12 blastomeres derived from six embryos approximately mid-way through their second cell cycle was analyzed. Probes displaying normalized values greater than 0.25 were selected and examined for consistent bias in expression within blastomere pairs. Although transcript content varied both between individual embryos and twin blastomeres, no consistent asymmetries were observed for the majority of genes. On the other hand, 769 genes displayed a greater than 1.4-fold difference in expression across 5 of 6 pairs of blastomeres and 178 genes differed across all 6 pairs. These genes separated into two groups by class discovery clustering. Of the 769 differentially expressed genes, 163 were significantly up- or down-regulated in one sister blastomere compared to the other. Transcripts encoding proteins implicated in RNA processing and cytoskeletal organization were highly represented among the most abundant, differentially distributed mRNA. We conclude that there are many differences that distinguish twin blastomeres derived from a single 2-cell stage embryo but that only a few of these differences are consistent across multiple pairs of embryos. We hypothesize that a stochastically-based lack of synchrony in cell cycle progression between the two cells might explain some or all of the asymmetries in transcript composition.

Cell fate inclination within 2-cell and 4-cell mouse embryos revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:It remains an open question when and how the first cell fate decision is made in mammals. Using deep single-cell RNA-seq of matched sister blastomeres, we report highly reproducible interblastomere differences among ten 2-cell and five 4-cell mouse embryos. Inter-blastomere gene expression differences dominated between-embryo differences and noises, and were sufficient to cluster sister blastomeres into distinct groups. Dozens of protein-coding genes exhibited reproducible bimodal expression in sister blastomeres (0 vs. 1e3-1e6 of FPKM), which cannot be explained by random fluctuations. The protein expression of one of these bimodal genes, Gadd45a, exhibited clear inter-blastomeric contrasts. We traced some of the bimodal mRNA expressions to embryonic genome activation, and others to blastomere-specific RNA depletion. Inter-blastomere differences created co-expression gene networks that were much stronger and larger than those that can be possibly created by random noises. The highly correlated gene pairs at the 4-cell overlapped with those showing the same directions of differential expression between inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE). These data substantiate the hypothesis of inter-blastomere differences in 2- and 4-cell mouse embryos, and associate these differences with ICM/TE differences.

Filter aided, single tip (FAST) method for high throughput, ultrasensitive proteomics sample preparation reveals proteome asymmetry in Xenopus embryos

Project description:We report a filter aided, single tip (FAST) method for ultrasensitive proteomic sample preparation. To minimize sample loss and contamination, the method reduces the surface area of the filter to ~0.1 mm2, the total volume of reagents to < 10 μL, and the number of sample transfer steps to two. 25,883 unique peptides and 3,069 protein groups were identified from 1,000 MCF-7 cells (~100 ng protein content). Single blastomeres from Xenopus laevis embryos at the 50-cell stage (~200 ng yolk free protein/blastomere) generated 20,943 unique peptides and 2,597 protein groups; the proteomic profile clearly differentiated left and right blastomeres, and provides strong support for models in which this asymmetry is established early in the embryo.

Multipolar zygotic divisions are characterized by parental genome segregation errors

Project description:The first mitotic division causes both parental genomes present in the zygote to segregate into two biparental diploid daughter cells. This fundamental tenet was challenged by the observation that blastomeres with different genome ploidy and distinct parental genotypes can coexist within individual embryos. We hypothesized that whole parental genomes can segregate into distinct blastomere lines during the multipolar division of the zygote, a phenomenon referred to as “heterogoneic” cell division. Here, we provide evidence of genome-wide segregation errors in two human blastocysts and further pinpoint its origin in a bovine model by mapping the genomic landscape of 82 blastomeres from 25 embryos that underwent multipolar division at the zygote stage using genome-wide SNP arrays and sequencing. In most embryos, the coexistence of androgenetic and diploid or polyploid blastomeres with or without anuclear blastomeres, androgenetic and anuclear blastomeres, and androgenetic and gynogenetic blastomeres within the same embryo provided proof that multipolar zygotic division coincides with heterogoneic segregation of the parental genome. By mapping the segregational origin of the genomic content, we deduced distinct segregation mechanisms underlying heterogoneic cell division including segregation by a tripolar spindle, the pronuclear extrusion of a paternal genome and, the operation of an ectopic paternal or private parental spindles. Polyspermic embryos expel excessive paternal genomes resulting in an androgenetic or polyploid blastomere. Confirming the results in human blastocysts we found genome-wide segregation errors to persist in bovine blastocysts.

Defining Cell Fate And Embryonic Genome Activation By Global Single-Cell cDNA Analysis of Blastomeres From 5-to 8-Cell Human Embryos.

Project description:To determine blastomere fate and embryonic genome activation (EGA) at 5- to 8-cell stage human embryos by global gene expression profile of amplified cDNA from blastomeres at the single cell level Forty-nine blastomeres from 5-, 6- and 8-cell human embryos were analyzed through whole genome wide analysis following an efficient cDNA amplification protocol (Kurimoto et al., 2007) with slight modifications. Single biopsied blastomeres were also compared with two amplified inner cell masses and two trophectoderms from blastocysts.

Totipotency of mouse zygotes extends to single blastomeres of 4-cell stage embryos

Project description:In multicellular organisms, heterogametes of oocytes and sperms are fertilized and resulting zygotes give rise to new individuals. The ability of zygotes that produce a fully formed individual from single cell when placed in a supportive environment is defined as totipotency. Given that totipotent cells are the source of all multicellular organisms, better understanding of totipotency has a profound effect on not only biology but also our society. However, the exact distribution of totipotent cells in mammals remains elusive, although zygotes and single blastomeres at 2-cell stage embryos has been thought to be only mouse cells to be totipotent. We now show that a single blastomere isolated from 2- and 4-cell stage embryos gives rise to a fertile adult individual when it placed in a uterus, although isolation of blastomeres at these stage results in the disturbance of transcriptome in single blastomere derived embryos. Single blastomeres from 8-cell and morula stage embryos that were separately cultured in vitro exhibited severe defects in the formation of epiblast and primitive endoderm in the inner cell mass and the development to blastocysts, respectively. Our results thus indicate that totipotency of mouse zygotes extends to single blastomeres of 4-cell stage embryos.

Bovine Embryonic Developmental Competence Is Predicted By Expression Levels Of Genes Related To Oxidative Stress Response

Project description:The aberrant gene expression of early bovine embryos are a major cause for developemtal arrest. Therefore our aim was to detect transcriptomic fingerprints which correlate with the subsequent developmental competence of a two cell stage embryo. 2-cell stage embryos were bisected; one blastomere was cultured individually, its sister-blastomere was snap-frozen. According to the development of individual cultured blastomeres, the corresponding frozen samples were pooled into three groups for global gene expression analyses. We defined three groups: I. embryos which did not cleave after separation (2CB), II. embryos which stopped cleaving at four cell stage (8CB) and III. embryos reaching blastocyst stage (BL).
