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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

The translational landscape of mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos revealed by high-resolution ribosome profiling

Project description:Translational regulation plays a critical role during oocyte and preimplantation embryo development. Here, we utilized high resolution ribosome fractionation and low-input ribosome profiling of mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos to explore the translational landscapes of early embryo development. The inconsistency was observed when comparing polysome-bound, monosome-bound, and free RNA profiles, indicating the role of ribosomes in manipulating RNA fate, especially for oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET) and zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Moreover, eif1ad3 with its homologs, including eif1ad4, eif1ad6, eif1ad7, etc. are highly translated during ZGA and regulating the translational activity of other genes. Knocking down these genes lead to defective ZGA and preimplantation development. These data reveal that the transcriptome and translatome manipulate RNA fate collectively to regulate mouse preimplantation development.

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.

Translatome and transcriptome co-profiling reveals a role of TPRXs in human zygotic genome activation

Project description:Translational regulation plays a critical role during oocyte-to-embryo transition including zygotic genome activation. However, the translatome during OET and molecular mechanisms underlying human ZGA remain largely uncharted. Here, we integrated ultra-low-input Ribo-seq with RNA-seq (R2-lite) to jointly profile the translatome and transcriptome from the same samples across 8 stages in human oocytes and early embryos. These data not only unveil conservation and divergence of the translation landscapes between human and mouse OET, but also identify critical regulators of human ZGA.

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 [WGS]

Project description: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.

Comparative proteomic landscapes provide insights into mammalian preimplantation development and failure

Project description:Understanding mammalian preimplantation development, particularly in humans, at the proteomic level remains limited. Here, we applied our comprehensive solution of ultrasensitive proteomic technology to measure the proteomic profiles of oocytes and early embryos and identified nearly 8,000 proteins in humans and over 6,300 proteins in mice. We observed distinct proteomic dynamics before and around zygotic genome activation (ZGA) between the two species. Integrative analysis with translatomic data revealed extensive divergence between translation activation and protein accumulation. Multi-omic analysis indicated that ZGA transcripts often contribute to protein accumulation in blastocysts. Using mouse embryos, we identified several transcriptional regulators critical for early development, thereby linking ZGA to the first lineage specification. Furthermore, single-embryo proteomics of poor-quality embryos from over 100 patient couples provided insights into preimplantation development failure. Our study may contribute to reshaping the framework of mammalian preimplantation development and opening avenues for addressing human infertility.
