Single embryo total RNA sequencing to map the effect of maternal SETDB1 on the 2-celll and 8-cell transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Embryos with maternal mutation of the H3K9 methyltransferase SETDB1 die before implantation. We tested the role of maternal SETDB1 in the timely processes of the preimplantation stage embryo. Using single embryo total RNA sequencing from 2-cell and 8-cell embryos, we found that maternal SETDB1 is required for switching off maternal transcripts by the 2-cell stage, minor ZGA transcripts by the 2-cell stage, and major ZGA transcripts by the 8-cell stage. By timely extinguishing of endogenous retroviruses, oocyte-specific ERVL-MaLRs, many oocyte-specific genes, MERVLs, MERVL LTR-driven chimeric transcripts and ZGA genes as well as KRAB ZF genes, maternal SETDB1 secures the proper transition from totipotency to pluripotency.

Ultrasensitive proteomics depicted an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. Metaphase II (MII) oocytes and zygotes (one-cell embryo) serve as the mature oocyte and the initiation of pre-implantation embryo development respectively, and characterizing their molecular landscapes at protein levels plays an important role in uncovering MZT and zygotic genome activation (ZGA )in mammals. Here we used an ultrasensitive proteomic approach to depict an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse MZT.

VPS34 regulates RAB7 activation and Retromer localization to autophagosomes and mitophagy in oocytes

Project description:To investigate the role of Vps34 during oocyte development, we crossed female Vps34f/f mice with Gdf9-Cre and Zp3-Cre male transgenic mice for Cre recombinase specifically in oocytes at either primordial or early growing stages. Our results revealed that Vps34 plays a key role in oocyte cytoplasmic maturation. In order to reveal the changes in oocyte transcriptome level caused by Vps34 deletion, we conducted transcriptome sequencing on oocytes at GV stage, MII stage and 2cell embryo of ZcKO, and analyzed the changes in transcripts at these three stages. Transcriptome sequencing results showed that the oocytes and 2cell embryos of ZcKO were enriched with a large number of transcription and transport-related differential genes, and the 2cell stage had the most differential genes, which was the key period for the occurrence of major ZGA. Further analysis of transcription-related genes revealed that the enriched major ZGA genes were all down-regulated in 2cell of ZcKO mice. In addition, differential genes involved in autophagy were enriched in ZcKO 2cell, with HPG abnormally increased. Autophagy is the main degradation pathways of maternal proteins in early embryonic development, and degradation of maternal proteins is necessary for the normal process of ZGA, which occurs prior to major ZGA and even during oocyte maturation, when defects appear to be irremediable later. These results suggest that Vps34 deletion leads to degradation inhibition of maternal factors and impaired major ZGA, leading to embryonic development arrest.

THAP1 is a maternal effect factor required for the first cell cycle via Rrm1 in early mouse embryos

Project description:Maternal effect genes (MEGs) produce factors that accumulate in oocytes and play critical roles in embryo development. Mutations of MEGs are frequently linked to reproductive and congenital disorders. The majority of identified mammalian MEGs encode epigenetic factors and RNA regulators. Here, we identify a MEG encoding the transcription factor Thanatos-associated protein 1 (Thap1). Thap1 is highly expressed in mouse oocytes and early embryos. Oocyte-specific deletion of Thap1 results in delayed progression of mouse embryos from the 1-cell to the 2-cell stage and 2-cell arrest, accompanied by defective zygotic genome activation (ZGA) and strongly impaired female fertility. Mechanistically, THAP1 activates a critical subset of genes in oocytes, including Rrm1, which produces ribonucleotide reductase required for generating deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs). Low-input metabolome profiling across 7 stages during the oocyte-to-embryo transition shows gradual, THAP1-dependent dNTP accumulation that peaks in MII oocytes. Overexpression of Rrm1 in zygotes almost fully restores the 2-cell progression and ZGA in Thap1 maternal-knockout embryos. Our findings identify THAP1 as a key maternal effector critical for the earliest stage of mammalian development.

Dynamic RNA-protein interactions underlie the zebrafish maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), transcriptionally silent embryos rely on post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs until zygotic genome activation (ZGA). RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are important regulators of post-transcriptional RNA processing events, yet their identities and functions during developmental transitions in vertebrates remain largely unexplored. Using mRNA interactome capture, we identified 227 RBPs in zebrafish embryos before and during ZGA, hereby named the zebrafish MZT mRNAbound proteome. This protein constellation consists of many conserved RBPs, with additional embryo- and stage-specific mRNA interactors that likely reflect the dynamics of RNA-protein interactions during MZT. The enrichment of numerous splicing factors like hnRNP proteins before ZGA was surprising, because maternal mRNAs were found to be fully spliced. To address potentially unique roles of RBPs in embryogenesis, we focused on hnRNP A1. iCLIP and subsequent mRNA reporter assays revealed a function for hnRNP A1 in the regulation of poly(A) tail length and translation of maternal mRNAs through sequence-specific association with 3’UTRs before ZGA. Comparison of iCLIP data from two developmental stages revealed that hnRNP A1 dissociates from maternal mRNAs at ZGA and instead regulates the nuclear processing of pri-miR-430 transcripts, which we validated experimentally. The shift from cytoplasmic to nuclear RNA targets was accompanied by a dramatic translocation of hnRNP A1 and other pre-mRNA splicing factors to the nucleus in a transcription-dependent manner. Thus, our study identifies global changes in RNA-protein interactions during vertebrate MZT and shows that hnRNP A1 RNA-binding activities are spatially and temporally coordinated to regulate RNA metabolism during early development.

Unique Broad Histone Lysine 4 Methylation Domains in Mouse Oocytes and Dynamic Regulation during Maternal to Zygotic Transition

Project description:The maternal to zygotic transition (MZT) involves the transfer of genome regulation from the oocyte to the embryo and is essential for the formation of totipotent embryos. However, regulatory mechanisms are still poorly understood despite recent progress in mapping the dynamics in RNA transcripts and DNA methylation1-9. Previous studies suggest that dynamic histone modifications may play important roles in MZT10-12, however direct measurements of chromatin states has been hindered by technical difficulties in profiling histone modifications from small quantities of cells. We have developed a micro-scale chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (μChIP-seq) method and used it to profile histone H3 lysine methylation (H3K4me3) and acetylation (H3K27ac) genome-wide in the mouse oocyte, 2- cell and 8-cell stage embryo. Strikingly, we show that ~22% of the oocyte genome is associated with broad H3K4me3 domains that are anti-correlated with DNA methylation. Most H3K4me3 signal is rapidly lost and constricted to TSS regions in 2-cell embryos, concomitant with the onset of major zygotic genome activation (ZGA). We provide evidence that these broad H3K4me3 domains are established by Mll2 and actively removed by Kdm5a and Kdm5b, and likely play instrumental roles in MZT by defining regions of DNA demethylation in oocytes and the 2-cell embryo. Furthermore, broad H3K4me3 domains specify H3K27ac patterns in the early embryo and ZGA genes are generally related to broad H3K4me3 domains, suggesting a fundamental role in MZT. Our results provide insights into how the developmental program can be set up in the oocyte and transferred to the zygotic genome.

Sperm-derived circRNA-1572 regulates embryogenesis and zygotic genome activation by targeting CCNB2 via bta-miR-2478-L-2 [ncRNA-seq]

Project description:This study identified circRNA-1572, which is delivered by sperm into the oocyte during fertilization, whose downregulation resulted in developmental arrest and inhibition of ZGA during porcine embryogenesis. Moreover, we elucidated that sperm-derived circRNA-1572 competitively binds to bta-miR-2478-L-2 through a “sponge” mechanism to target and regulate cyclin B2 expression, thereby modulating the distribution of F-actin in early pig embryos, ensuring proper chromosome segregation during mitosis, and facilitating normal embryo cleavage, maternal RNA degradation (MRD), and ZGA.
