Endogenous retroviruses synthesize heterologous chimeric RNAs to reinforce human early embryo development (MLT2A1 subfamily KD in 4C and 8C embryos)

ABSTRACT: MLT2A1 was highly and specifically expressed in human totipotent embryos. To unveil the function and biological significance of MLT2A1 in regulating human totipotent embryo development and human zygotic genome activation, RNA-seq was performed for MLT2A1 KD and Ctrl KD 4-Cell and 8-Cell embryos.

Endogenous retroviruses synthesize heterologous chimeric RNAs to reinforce human early embryo development (MLT2A1 ChIRP in 8CLC)

Project description:Previous data showed that MLT2A1 RNAs participated in the regulation of totipotent embryo development and totipotent gene expression. Thus, to further study the mechanisms of how MLT2A1 RNAs regulated gene expression, we performed ChIRP-seq to identify the genomic binding sites of MLT2A1 RNAs

Endogenous retroviruses synthesize heterologous chimeric RNAs to reinforce human early embryo development [8CLC-MLT2A1-rescue]

Project description:Zygotic genome activation is critical for early embryogenesis, and its failure results in developmental arrest, posing a clinical challenge to women's fertility. Here we show that in vitro fertilized human embryos ceased development at 8-Cell ZGA stage are associated with a specific down-regulation of an endogenous retrovirus, MLT2A1. The depletion of MLT2A1 causes a failure in embryo development and reduction in ZGA gene expression. Mechanistically, we uncover that MLT2A1s synthesize chimeric transcripts with both coding and non-coding sequences, while predominantly fusing with downstream heterologous retrotransposons. While these diverse fusion sequences expand the genome-targeting spectrum of MLT2A1 RNAs, the shared MLT2A1 sequences partner with HNRNPU to recruit RNA Pol II to promote transcription. This enables MLT2A1 to broadly target and activate global ZGA genes, alongside amplifying its own sub-family expression. Our study uncovers an interlocking network formed by MLT2A1 chimeric RNAs, which act synergistically to boost global ZGA transcription and reinforce human early embryogenesis.

Endogenous retroviruses synthesize heterologous chimeric RNAs to reinforce human early embryo development (Nanopore-seq in 8CLC and 8C embryo)

Project description:Previous studies revealed that endogenous retroviruses can fuse with downstream sequences to generate chimeric transcripts. To identify the chimeric transcripts produced by MLT2A1 in 8C-like cells and 8C embryos and to unveil their potential biological function, Nanopore sequencing was utilized.
