Programming and inheritance of parental DNA methylomes in mammals

ABSTRACT: The reprogramming of parental methylomes is essential for embryonic development. In mammals, paternal 5-methylcytosines (5mCs) have been proposed to be actively converted to oxidized bases. These paternal oxidized bases and maternal 5mCs are believed to be passively diluted by cell divisions. By generating single-base resolution, allele-specific DNA methylomes from mouse gametes, early embryos, and primordial germ cell (PGC), as well as single-base-resolution maps of oxidized cytosine bases for early embryos, we report the existence of 5hmC and 5fC in both maternal and paternal genomes and find that 5mC or its oxidized derivatives, at the majority of demethylated CpGs, are converted to unmodified cytosines independent of passive dilution from gametes to four-cell embryos. Therefore, we conclude that paternal methylome and at least a significant proportion of maternal methylome go through active demethylation during embryonic development. Additionally, all the known imprinting control regions (ICRs) were classified into germ-line or somatic ICRs.

Additionally, all the known imprinting control regions (ICRs) were classified into germ-line or somatic ICRs. The cross of two mouse strains was performed using DBA/2J as the paternal strain and C57BL/6J as the maternal strain. The hybrid embryos were collected at 2-cell, 4-cell, ICM, E6.5, E7.5 stages. Female and male E13.5 PGC samples (B6; 129S4-Pou5f1tm2Jae/J) were collected from timed mating of C57BL/6J female mice. MethylC-Seq: oocytes (C57BL/6J), sperm (DBA/2J), 2-cell embryos, 4-cell embryos, ICM, E6.5 embryos, E7.5 embryos, E13.5 female PGCs and E13.5 male PGCs. TAB-Seq: 2-cell embryos. fCAB-Seq: 2-cell embryos. RNA-Seq: oocytes (C57BL/6J).

Sperm but not oocyte DNA methylome is inherited by zebrafish early embyros

Project description:5-methylcytosine is a major epigenetic modification sometimes called "the fifth nucleotide". However, our knowledge of how offspring inherit the DNA methylome from parents is limited. We generated nine single-base resolution DNA methylomes including zebrafish gametes and early embryos. The oocyte methylome is significantly hypo-methylated compared to sperm. Strikingly, the paternal DNA methylation pattern is maintained throughout early embryogenesis. The maternal DNA methylation pattern is maintained until the 16-cell stage. Then, the oocyte methylome is gradually discarded through cell division, and progressively reprogrammed to a pattern similar to that of the sperm methylome. The passive demethylation rate and the de novo methylation rate are similar in the maternal DNA. By the midblastula stage, the embryo?s methylome is virtually identical to the sperm methylome. Moreover, inheritance of the sperm methylome facilitates the epigenetic regulation of embryogenesis. Therefore, besides DNA sequences, sperm DNA methylome is also inherited in zebrafish early embryos.

Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) or zebrafish, medaka, and zebrafish-medaka hybrid embryos

Project description:During development, the inherited DNA methylation patterns from the parental gametes needs to be remodeled into a state compatible with embryonic pluripotency. In Zebrafish, this remodeling is achieved by the maternal methylome becoming hypomethylated to match the paternal methylome. However, how this is achieved in medaka (another teleost fish) is currently not known. Moreover, how DNA methylation remodeling is impacted in hybrid organisms, and the effects this may have on their development, is also not known. Here we address these questions by generation whole genome bisulfite sequencing data for zebrafish, medaka and zebrafish medaka embryos.

Single Cell DNA Methylome Sequencing of Human Preimplantation Embryos

Project description:Although the DNA methylome of human early embryos has been analyzed, some of the key features have not been addressed to date. Here, we performed single-cell DNA methylome sequencing for human preimplantation embryos and found that tens of thousands of genomic loci exhibited de novo DNA methylation. This finding indicates that genome-wide DNA methylation reprogramming during preimplantation development is a dynamic balance between strong global demethylation and significant focused re-methylation. Furthermore, the demethylation of the paternal genome is much faster and thorough than that of the maternal genome. From the 2-cell to post-implantation stage, methylation of the paternal genome is consistently lower than that on the maternal genome. We also showed that the genetic lineage of the early blastomeres could be traced by DNA methylation analysis. Our work paves the way for deciphering the secrets of DNA methylation reprogramming in human early embryos.

The effect of genotype and in utero environment on inter-individual variation in neonate DNA methylomes

Project description:We surveyed the genotypes and DNA methylomes of 237 neonates and found 1423 punctate regions of the methylome that were highly variable across individuals, termed variably methylated regions (VMRs), against a backdrop of homogeneity. Although methQTLs were readily detected in neonatal methylomes, genotype alone did not explain the majority of the VMRs. We found that the best explanation for 75% of VMRs was the interaction of genotype with different in utero environments, including maternal smoking, maternal depression, maternal BMI, infant birth weight, gestational age and birth order. We surveyed the genotypes and DNA methylomes of 237 neonates and included 32 technical replicates

Active and Passive Demethylation of Male and Female Pronuclear DNA in the Mammalian Zygote

Project description:The epigenomes of mammalian sperm and oocytes, characterized by gamete-specific 5-methylcytosine (5mC) patterns, are reprogrammed during early embryogenesis to establish full developmental potential. Previous studies have suggested that the paternal genome is actively demethylated in the zygote while the maternal genome undergoes subsequent passive demethylation via DNA replication during cleavage. Active demethylation is known to depend on 5mC oxidation by Tet dioxygenases and excision of oxidized bases by thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG). Here we show that both maternal and paternal genomes undergo widespread active and passive demethylation in zygotes before the first mitotic division. Passive demethylation was blocked by the replication inhibitor aphidicolin, and active demethylation was abrogated by deletion of Tet3 in both pronuclei. At actively demethylated loci, 5mCs were processed to unmodified cytosines. Surprisingly, the demethylation process was unaffected by the deletion of TDG from the zygote, suggesting the existence of other demethylation mechanisms downstream of Tet3-mediated oxidation. The dataset includes RRBS anlysis of 2 MII oocyte samples, 3 WT female pronuclei samples PN3-4 stage, 2 Tet3 KO female pronuclei samples and 2 Aphidicolin treated female pronuclei samples. Also as male counterpart, a Sperm sample, 2 WT male pronuclei samples PN3-4 stage, 2 Tet3 KO male pronuclei samples and 2 Aphidicolin treated male pronuclei samples were included.

Initiation of Parental Genome Reprogramming in Fertilized Oocyte by Splicing Kinase SRPK1-Catalyzed Protamine Phosphorylation

Project description:We performed ATAC-seq in mouse sperms and fertilized eggs with wild-type or P1 mutation (phosphorylation sites by SRPK1) to capture early genome reprogramming events ~5 hours post insemination. Surprisingly, we detected broadly distributed ATAC-seq reads across the mouse genome to paternal and maternal gametes formed with wild-type and single mutant sperm, and in contrast, we saw individual peaks with zygotes formed with the double mutant sperm. After assigning to paternal and maternal genomes, we found that the reads assignable to paternal genome was decreased with single and double mutants, compare with wild-type. Furthermore, we found the paternal genome in eggs fertilized with the double mutant sperm essentially retained all sperm-specific ATAC-seq peaks, which were also overlapped with the published H3.3 ChIP-seq signals on wild-type sperm, mostly corresponding to TSSs. Strikingly, the ATAC-seq signals on the maternal genome from eggs fertilized with the double mutant P1 sperm were literally identical to those in MII oocyte. Based on these data, we draw two important conclusions: (i) dramatic chromatin remodeling takes place in a highly coordinated fashion in both paternal and maternal pronuclei before they merge, and (ii) SRPK1-catalyzed protamine phosphorylation initiates such synchronized genome reprogramming in both gametes.
