Single-Cell 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Landscapes of Mammalian Early Embryos at Single-Base Resolution

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation are extensively reprogrammed in mammalian early embryogenesis. However, a comprehensive picture of DNA hydroxymethylation map across early embryo stages is lacking. Here, we develop “schmC-CATCH” (single-cell 5hmC chemical-assisted C-to-T conversion-enabled sequencing) to obtain quantitative, genome-wide landscape of the base-resolution DNA hydroxymethylome in mouse gametes and pre-implantation embryos from one-cell (PN1-PN5) to blastocyst stages. We revealed the dynamics of DNA hydroxymethylation and observed dramatically different 5hmC patterns on the paternal and maternal genomes. We found hotspots of DNA hydroxymethylation during mouse early embryo development, which are highly associated with young retroelements including LINE1. 5hmC is also associated with regulatory elements, indicating a potential epigenetic function during early embryogenesis. In addition, 5hmC is asymmetrically distributed at the chromosome level and can be used to track the cell and strand lineages during the first two embryo cleavages. Collectively, our work reveals the dynamics of active DNA demethylation during mouse pre-implantation development and provides an important resource for functional studies of epigenetic reprogramming in single cells.

Dynamics of DNA hydroxymethylation and methylation during mouse embryonic and germline development

Project description:In mammals, DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is involved in methylation reprogramming during early embryonic development. Yet, to what extent 5hmC participates in genome-wide methylation reprogramming remains largely unknown. Here, we characterize the 5hmC landscapes in mouse early embryos and germ cells with parental allele specificity. DNA hydroxymethylation was most strongly correlated with DNA demethylation as compared with de novo or maintenance methylation in zygotes, while 5hmC was targeted to particular de novo methylated sites in postimplantation epiblasts. Surprisingly, DNA replication was also required for 5hmC generation, especially in the female pronucleus. More strikingly, aberrant nuclear localization of Dnmt1/Uhrf1 in mouse zygotes due to maternal deficiency of Nlrp14 led to defects in DNA-replication-coupled passive demethylation and impaired 5hmC deposition, revealing the divergency between genome-wide 5-methylcytosine (5mC) maintenance and Tet-mediated oxidation. In summary, our work provides insights and a valuable resource for the study of epigenetic regulation in early embryo development.

Reconstituting the transcriptome and DNA methylome landscapes of human implantation at single-cell resolution

Project description:Implantation is a milestone event during mammalian embryogenesis. Due to the extreme difficulty of obtaining in vivo human early post-implantation embryos, the gene regulatory network and epigenetics controlling human embryo implantation remains elusive. Here, combining an in vitro culture system for human post-implantation development and single-cell omics sequencing technologies, over 10,000 single cells at five representative stages of pre/post-implantation development were systematically analyzed. Unsupervised dimensionality reduction and clustering algorithm of the transcriptome data show stepwise implantation routes for the epiblast, primitive endoderm, and trophectoderm lineages, suggesting preparation for the establishment of a mother-to-offspring connection after implantation. Female embryos showed asynchronous progress of dosage loss of X chromosomes during implantation. Furthermore, using the single cell trio-Seq (scTrio-Seq) strategy, re-methylation of the genomes of all the three lineages was unambiguously revealed. Surprisingly, the genome re-methylation of PE lineage were much slower than both EPI and TE lineages during the implantation process, indicating distinct methylome features between EPI and PE although both of which were derived from ICM. Collectively, our work paves the way for understanding the complex molecular mechanisms that regulate human embryo implantation, informing new insights and future efforts in early embryonic development and reproductive medicine.

Reconstituting the transcriptome and DNA methylome landscapes of human implantation

Project description:Implantation is a milestone event during mammalian embryogenesis. Implantation failure is a nonnegligible cause of human early pregnancy loss. Due to the extreme difficulty of obtaining in vivo human early post-implantation embryos, it remains elusive how the gene regulatory network and epigenetic mechanisms control human embryo implantation. Here, combining an in vitro culture system for human post-implantation development and single-cell omics sequencing technologies, over 8,000 individual cells from 65 human peri-implantation embryos were systematically analyzed. Unsupervised dimensionality reduction and clustering algorithm of the transcriptome data show stepwise implantation routes for the epiblast (EPI), primitive endoderm (PE), and trophectoderm (TE) lineages, suggesting robust preparation for the proper establishment of a mother-to-offspring connection during implantation. Female embryos showed initiation of random X chromosome inactivation based on analysis of parental allele-specific expression of X chromosome-linked genes during implantation. Surprisingly, by the single-cell Trio-Seq (scTrio-Seq) analysis, the genome re-methylation of PE lineage was shown to be much slower than those of both EPI and TE lineages during implantation process, indicating distinct DNA methylome re-establishment features between EPI and PE although both of which were derived from inner cell mass (ICM). Collectively, our work paves the way for understanding the complex molecular mechanisms that regulate human embryo implantation, offering new insights and future efforts in early embryonic development and reproductive medicine.

Single cell RNA-seq of in vitro cultured human embryos

Project description:Human embryogenesis is characterised by a series of coordinated cell fate specification events. Upon implantation on day 7, the three cell lineages forming the human blastocyst undergo major morphogenetic and transcriptomic changes. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we reconstruct the molecular events driving post-implantation development of the human embryo at day 9 and 11. Our study provides the first molecular map of gene expression patterns in early post-implantation human embryos, unveiling how signalling interactions between embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues drive human embryogenesis.

Silencing of Germline-Expressed Genes by DNA Elimination in Somatic Cells

Project description:Chromatin diminution is the programmed elimination of specific DNA sequences during development. It occurs in diverse species, but the function(s) of diminution and the specificity of sequence loss remain largely unknown. Diminution in the nematode Ascaris suum occurs during early embryonic cleavages and leads to the loss of germline genome sequences and the formation of a distinct genome in somatic cells. We found that ∼43 Mb (∼13%) of genome sequence is eliminated in A. suum somatic cells, including ∼12.7 Mb of unique sequence. The eliminated sequences and location of the DNA breaks are the same in all somatic lineages from a single individual and between different individuals. At least 685 genes are eliminated. These genes are preferentially expressed in the germline and during early embryogenesis. We propose that diminution is a mechanism of germline gene regulation that specifically removes a large number of genes involved in gametogenesis and early embryogenesis.

The role of HNRNPU and the nuclear matrix in human pluripotent stem cells [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:During early embryogenesis the fertilized zygote proceeds through an intricate developmental program, accompanyed by DNA and chromatin remodelling. However, the mechanisms governing this reconfiguring are poorly understood. Parts of the embryogenesis developmental program can be captured in vitro in the form of two types of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC): naïve and primed hPSCs. Naïve hPSCs resemble the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, whilst primed hPSCs resemble the post-implantation embryo. The nucleus is made of DNA wrapped around chromatin, and the nuclear matrix, a proteinaceous gel that provides structure. Here, we show that disruptions in the nuclear matrix caused primed hPSCs to spontaneously convert to the naïve, earlier embryonic state.
