Species-Specific Roles of SP1 in Bovine and Human Embryonic Genome Activation and Early embryonic Development

ABSTRACT: Embryonic genome activation (EGA) marks the onset of embryonic program and enables the transition toward the first lineage specification. However, the molecular features of EGA and the transcription factors (TFs) orchestrating this process remain unclear. Here, by performing single-cell RNA-seq on bovine embryos, we reveal that major EGA is asynchronously initiated among blastomeres at the 8-cell stage. Integrative analyses reveal distinctive protein accumulation compared to transcription and translation activation during bovine EGA. Furthermore, we investigate the role of SP1, a TF activated at the minor EGA stage, with motifs enriched in accessible chromatin during major EGA stage in bovine and human embryos. SP1 deficiency leads to morula arrest in bovine and impairs EGA in human embryos. Multi-omics analysis demonstrates that SP1 promotes early lineage gene expression by modulating nearby chromatin states in bovine and directly targets key EGA genes in human embryos. Together, our study delineates the dynamics of bovine EGA and uncovers the conserved and species-specific roles of SP1 in regulating EGA and early development in mammals.

Histone lactylation maintains bovine early embryo development via regulating embryonic genome activation [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Early embryo loss is an important factor affecting the reproductive capacity of cattle. Recent studies have revealed that during the process of the embryonic genome activation (EGA), epigenetic modification, such as, histone lactylation modification remodeling is crucial for early embryonic development. However, the effect and mechanism of histone lactylation modification on bovine early embryo development remain unknown. In this study, we found that histone lactylation, including pan Kla, H3K9la, and H3K18la were mainly located in nuclear, and were significantly decreased from 8-cell to morula stage as well as increased from morula to blastocyst stage in bovine IVF embryos. Decreased or increased levels of histone lactylation by GSKA or NaLa supplementation inhibited bovine early embryo development and blastocyst lineage differentiation. Furthermore, combined with scRNA-Seq data and EU straining revealed that reduction of histone lactylation levels altered expression of genes associated with DNA transcription and RNA polymerase activity, thereby impairing the process of EGA. Importantly, NMN rescued the inhibitory effects of GSKA supplementation in bovine EGA and early embryonic development. Altogether, these results indicated that histone lactylation maintains bovine early embryo development via regulating EGA process. These findings provide theoretical references for addressing early embryo loss and thereby enhancing the reproductive capacity of cattle.

Defining Cell Fate And Embryonic Genome Activation By Global Single-Cell cDNA Analysis of Blastomeres From 5-to 8-Cell Human Embryos.

Project description:To determine blastomere fate and embryonic genome activation (EGA) at 5- to 8-cell stage human embryos by global gene expression profile of amplified cDNA from blastomeres at the single cell level Forty-nine blastomeres from 5-, 6- and 8-cell human embryos were analyzed through whole genome wide analysis following an efficient cDNA amplification protocol (Kurimoto et al., 2007) with slight modifications. Single biopsied blastomeres were also compared with two amplified inner cell masses and two trophectoderms from blastocysts.

Expression profiling reveals differential expressed genes between bovine IVF and SCNT embryos

Project description:Global hypermethylations of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) tri- and di-methylation (H3K9me3/2) have been identified in bovine cloned embryos at the embryonic genome activation (EGA) stage (eight-cell stage), but the intrinsic reason for these anomalies remains elusive. To ascertain key factors responsible for aberrant H3K9 methylation, we performed RNA sequencing of transcripts in eight-cell bovine in vitro fertilized (IVF) and SCNT embryo. From the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between IVF and SCNT embryos, we identified that the unsuccessful reactivation of two histone demethylases, KDM4D and KDM4E, is responsible for the incomplete H3K9me3/2 demethylation in SCNT embryos at the EGA stage. By mRNA injection, ectopic expression of either KDM4D or KDM4E could erase H3K9me3/2 barriers, improve blastocyst formation, and elevate cloning efficiency of bovine SCNT. To examine the detailed genes responsive to KDM4E overexpression, we also performed RNA sequencing of bovine eight-cell SCNT embryos with KDM4E compensation and found an obvious restoration of global transcriptional patterns in SCNT embryos. Our study first provides the transcriptome data set of bovine IVF and SCNT embryos during EGA with or without KDM4E overexpression, which advance the understanding of incomplete nuclear reprogramming, and contribute to the practical implications for genetically modified livestock breeding using SCNT.

Chromatin Reprogramming of In Vitro Fertilized and Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Bovine Embryos During Embryonic Genome Activation [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Reprogramming of the gamete into a developmentally competent embryo identity is a fundamental aspect of preimplantation development. One of the most important processes of this reprogramming is the transcriptional awakening during embryonic genome activation (EGA), which robustly occurs in fertilized embryos but is defective in most somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. However, little is known about the genome-wide underlying chromatin landscape during EGA in SCNT embryos and how it differs from a fertilized embryo. By profiling open chromatin genome-wide in both types of bovine embryos, we find that SCNT embryos fail to reprogram a subset of the EGA gene targets that are normally activated in fertilized embryos. Importantly, a small number of transcription factor (TF) motifs explain most chromatin regions that fail to open in SCNT embryos suggesting that over-expression of a limited number of TFs may provide more robust reprogramming. One such TF, the zygotically-expressed bovine gene DUXC which is a homologue of EGA factors DUX/DUX4 in mouse/human, is alone capable of activating ~84% of all EGA transcripts that fail to activate normally in SCNT embryos. Additionally, single-cell chromatin profiling revealed low intra-embryo heterogeneity but high inter-embryo heterogeneity in SCNT embryos and an uncoupling of cell division and open chromatin reprogramming during EGA. Surprisingly, our data also indicate that transcriptional defects may arise downstream of promoter chromatin opening in SCNT embryos, suggesting additional mechanistic insights into how and why transcription at EGA is dysregulated. We anticipate that our work will lead to altered SCNT protocols to increase the developmental competency of bovine SCNT embryos.

Single cell analysis for oocytes and early embryos

Project description:While non-mammalian embryos often rely on spatial pre-patterning, for decades it was believed that blastomeres of mouse and human embryos were developmentally equivalent. However, emerging evidence suggests early mouse and human blastomeres differ in developmental potential. Here, using multiplexed and label-free single-cell proteomics, we identify over three hundred asymmetrically abundant proteins - many involved in protein degradation and transport - that divide mouse 2-cell stage blastomeres into two distinct clusters, which we term alpha and beta. These asymmetries intensify at the 4-cell stage and are detectable as early as the zygote. Fertilisation acts as a trigger for this breaking of symmetry and sperm entry point correlates with the gradient of proteome asymmetry. Perturbation of beta-enriched proteins (Gps1, Nedd8) alters lineage segregation. Embryos derived from beta blastomeres have more epiblast cells, while alpha blastomeres are associated with a lower developmental potential. Human 2-cell embryos show similar clustering and enrichment patterns, supporting conservation of this early asymmetry. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized proteomic pre-patterning triggered by fertilisation in mammalian embryos, with implications for understanding totipotency and early lineage bias.

Influence of in-vitro culture conditions and maternal metabolic status during embryonic genome activation on the Day-4 embryo transcriptome

Project description:Milk production during the early postpartum in dairy cows can impact the circulating metabolites and negatively affects embryo survival. However, the molecular consequences for the embryo during its development in the oviduct are still unknown. The objective was to determine the impact of metabolic status on embryonic genome activation (EGA) using high-throughput sequencing to generate comprehensive transcriptome profiles of bovine 16-cell stage embryos which had undergone EGA in vitro or in the oviducts of primiparous postpartum dry or postpartum lactating Holstein Friesian cows.
