A maternal-effect Padi6 variant causes nuclear and cytoplasmic abnormalities in oocytes as well as failure of epigenetic reprogramming and zygotic genome activation in embryos [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Maternal inactivation of genes encoding components of the sub-cortical maternal complex (SCMC) and its associated member PADI6 generally results in early embryo lethality. In humans, SCMC gene variants were found in the healthy mothers of children affected by multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). However, how the SCMC controls the DNA methylation required to regulate imprinting remains poorly defined. We generated a mouse line carrying a Padi6 missense variant that was identified in a family with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and MLID. If homozygous in female mice this variant resulted in interruption of embryo development at the 2-cell stage. Single-cell multi-omic analyses demonstrated defective maturation of Padi6-mutant oocytes and incomplete DNA demethylation, down-regulation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes, up-regulation of maternal decay genes and developmental delay in 2-cell embryos developing from Padi6-mutant oocytes, but little effect on genomic imprinting. Western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses showed reduced level of UHRF1 in oocytes and abnormal localization of DNMT1 and UHRF1 in both oocytes and zygotes. Treatment with 5-azacytidine reverted DNA hypermethylation but did not rescue the developmental arrest of mutant embryos. Taken together, this study demonstrates that PADI6 controls both nuclear and cytoplasmic oocyte processes that are necessary for pre-implantation epigenetic reprogramming and ZGA.

Loss-of-function maternal-effect mutations of PADI6 are associated with familial and sporadic Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome with multi-locus imprinting disturbance

Project description:PADI6 is a component of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) which is a group of proteins that are abundantly expressed in the oocyte cytoplasm and essential for the proper development of the early embryo. The mutation(s) in the components of the subcortical maternal complex have been associated with reproductive failures, including formation of hydatidiform mole, female infertility and imprinting disorders with multi-locus imprinting disturbance (MLIDs).In the current study by using whole-exome sequencing analysis, we identified four cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome with multi-locus imprinting disturbance while their mothers were carriers of variants in PADI6 gene. Genome-wide methylation profiling using Methylation EPIC array depicted the loss of methylation specifically at several known imprinted loci in affected individuals as compared to healthy siblings, parents and controls. Our findings firmly establish the role of PADI6 in imprinting disorders.

Novel genetic variants of KHDC3L and other members of the subcortical maternal complex associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1B and multi-locus imprinting disturbances

Project description:Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B) are imprinting disorders (ID) caused by deregulation of the imprinted gene clusters located at 11p15.5 and 20q13.32, respectively. In both of these diseases a subset of the patients is affected by multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). In several families, MLID is associated with damaging variants of maternal-effect genes encoding protein components of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC). However, frequency, penetrance and recurrence risks of these variants are still undefined. In this study, we screened two cohorts of BWS patients and one cohort of PHP1B patients for the presence of MLID, and analysed the positive cases for the presence of maternal variants in the SCMC genes by whole exome-sequencing and in silico functional studies. We identified 10 new cases of MLID associated with the clinical features of either BWS or PHP1B, in which segregate 13 maternal putatively damaging missense variants of the SCMC genes. The affected genes also included KHDC3L that has not been associated with MLID to date. Moreover, we highlight the possible relevance of relatively common variants in the aetiology of MLID. Our data further add to the list of the SCMC components and maternal variants that are involved in MLID, as well as of the associated clinical phenotypes. Also, we propose that in addition to rare variants, common variants may play a role in the aetiology of MLID and imprinting disorders by exerting an additive effect in combination with rarer putatively damaging variants. These findings provide useful information for the molecular diagnosis and recurrence risk evaluation of MLID-associated IDs in genetic counselling.

A KHDC3L mutation resulting in recurrent hydatidiform mole causes genome-wide DNA methylation loss in oocytes and persistent imprinting defects post-fertilisation.

Project description:Maternal-effect mutations in components of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) of the human oocyte can cause early embryonic failure, gestational abnormalities and recurrent pregnancy loss. Enigmatically, they are also associated with DNA methylation abnormalities at imprinted genes in conceptuses, in the devastating gestational abnormality biparental complete hydatidiform mole (BiCHM) or in multi-locus imprinting disease (MLID). However, the developmental timing, genomic extent and mechanistic basis of these imprinting defects are unknown. Here, we studied methylation level of a women reported with familial recurrent hydatidiform mole and multiple pregnancy loss. Genotype analysis revealed homozygous mutation in KHDC3L. We obtained biparental mole from patient (Patient D) and compared it’s whole-genome methylation profile with respect to control placentas and sporadic mole (AnCHM) using Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (WG-317-1001, Illumina). We also used endometrium samples from their respective mother for the comparison purposes. Molar conceptuses were observed with methylation defects at genome-wide level and profound loss of methylation at multiple genome-derived differentially methylated regions (gDMRs) confirming MLID.

Clinical spectrum of multi-locus imprinting disturbances associated with maternal-effect variants range from overt Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome to apparently healthy phenotype

Project description:Multi-locus imprinting Disturbances (MLID) are methylation defects affecting germline-derived Differentially Methylated Regions (gDMRs) and they have been associated with maternal-effect variants causing imprinting disorders in the offspring. In a family with multiple pregnancy losses, a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and a further child without any features of imprinting disorders, novel compound heterozygous variants in the NLRP5 gene of the mother were found. Locus-specific and whole-genome methylation analysis by using Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (WG-317-1001, Illumina) revealed MLID with different methylation profiles in both the siblings. The proband and the normal sibling were found to cluster with other MLID cases as shown by principal component analysis and unsupervised hierarchical clustering and remain distinct from controls. However, we were unable to cluster MLID cases associated with specific clinical phenotypes. The identification of two novel maternal-effect variants of NLRP5 associated with poly-abortivity and MLID add further evidence to the role of NLRP5 in the maintenance of genomic imprinting in early embryos. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that within these pedigrees MLID can also be present in the progeny with healthy phenotype, indicating that some sort of compensation occurs between altered imprinted loci in these individuals.

DPPA2 and DPPA4 are dispensable for mouse zygotic genome activation and preimplantation development

Project description:How maternal factors in oocytes initiate zygotic genome activation (ZGA) remains elusive. Recent studies indicate that DPPA2 and DPPA4 are required for establishing a 2-cell embryo-like (2C-like) state in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in a DUX-dependent manner. These results suggest that DPPA2 and DPPA4 are essential maternal factors that regulate Dux and ZGA in embryos. By analyzing maternal knockout and maternal-zygotic knockout embryos, we unexpectedly found that Dux activation, ZGA, and preimplantation development are normal in embryos without DPPA2 or DPPA4. Thus, unlike in ESCs/2C-like cells, DPPA2 and DPPA4 are dispensable for ZGA and preimplantation development.

Genomic imprinting of Xist by maternal H3K27me3

Project description:Maternal imprinting at the Xist gene is essential to achieve paternal allele-specific imprinted X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in female mammals. However, the mechanism underlying the Xist imprinting is unclear. Here we show that the Xist gene is coated with H3K27me3 in mouse oocytes, which persists through preimplantation development. Ectopic removal of H3K27me3 induces maternal Xist expression and maternal XCI, indicating that maternal H3K27me3 is the imprinting mark of Xist.

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.
