Transcriptome of mouse preimplantation development [Rlim KO]

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study are to establish a roadmap of XCI and compare the transcriptomes of WT and Rlim KO embryos during X chromosome inactivation. Methods: mRNA profiles of 175 preimplantation embryos WT and KO for Rlim were elucidated by RNA-seq at various stages. Trophoblasts isolated from blastocyst outgrowths were also included. The sequence reads that samples where gender could be determined and that passed quality filters were analyzed at the level of autosomes, X xhromosomes as well as single genes. Results: Using single cell RNA-seq technology on 175 whole preimplantation embryos, we obtained about 2.95 million sequence reads per sample. Reads were normalized to autosomal gene expression. Gender of each embryo was determined by expression of Y-linked genes and Xist. Data analysis showed normal expression profiles of marker genes for epiblast and trophoblast cell types during preimplantation development. Comparing Xist expression profiles in embryos WT and KO shows that Rlim is not required for initiation of Xist transcription but for upregulation of Xist expression. Moreover, our results identify two waves of XCI during preimplantation development: One that occurs at Morula stages that is Rlim-independent and one at blastocyst stages that in dependent on Rlim. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed mouse preimplantation transcriptome. Our results show that Rlim is required for a second wave of imprinted XCI that occurs in female embryos at blastocyst stages.

Transcriptome of mouse preimplantation development [Xist KO]

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to establish a dynamic roadmap of imprinted X chromosome inactivation and the role of Xist by elucidation of the transcriptome of Xist KO embryos during mouse preimplantation development. Methods: mRNA profiles of the preimplantation embryos WT and KO for Xist were elucidated by RNA-seq at various stages. Trophoblasts isolated from blastocyst outgrowths were also included. The sequence reads for samples where gender could be determined and that passed quality filters were analyzed at the level of autosomes, X chromosome as well as single genes. Results: Female embryos fail to silence the X chromosome at late preimplantation development. General autosomal gene expression is not affected in embryos lacking Xist. Conclusions: Xist is crucial for iXCI. In preimplantation embryos, the main in vivo function of Xist is to regulate iXCI in females.

RNAi-mediated knockdown of Xist can rescue the impaired postimplantation development of cloned mouse embryo

Project description:Cloning mammals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is highly inefficient. Most SCNT-generated embryos die after implantation because of unidentified, complex epigenetic errors in the process of postimplantation embryonic development. Here, we identified the most upstream level of dysfunction leading to impaired development of clones by using RNA interference (RNAi) against Xist, a gene responsible for X chromosome inactivation (XCI). A prior injection of Xist-specific short interfering (si)RNA into reconstructed oocytes efficiently corrected the SCNT-specific aberrant Xist expression at the morula stage, but failed to do so thereafter at the blastocyst stage. However, we found that shortly after implantation this aberrant XCI status in cloned embryos had been corrected autonomously in both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues, probably through a newly established XCI control for postimplantation embryos. Embryo transfer experiments revealed that the siRNA-treated embryos showed 10 times higher survival than controls as early as embryonic day 5.5 and this high survival persisted until term, resulting in a remarkable improvement in cloning efficiency (12% vs. 1% in controls). Importantly, unlike control clones, these Xist-siRNA clones at birth showed only a limited dysregulation of their gene expression, indicating that correction of Xist expression in preimplantation embryos had a long-term effect on their postnatal normality. Thus, contrary to the general assumption, our results suggest that the fate of cloned embryos is determined almost exclusively before implantation by their XCI status. Furthermore, our strategy provides a promising breakthrough for mammalian SCNT cloning because RNAi treatment of oocytes is readily applicable to most mammal species. Gene expression were measured in mouse in vitro fertilized and somatic cell cloned embryos. Four biological replicates were performed in each group of Xist- or Control-siRNA.

SPEN is a molecular integrator that bridges Xist with transcriptional and epigenetic control of X-chromosome inactivation

Project description:Xist represents a paradigm for long non-coding RNA function in epigenetic regulation, although how it mediates X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) remains largely unexplained. Multiple Xist-RNA binding proteins have recently been identified, including SPEN/SHARP, whose knockdown has been associated with deficient XCI at multiple loci. Here we demonstrate that SPEN is a key orchestrator of XCI in vivo and unravel its mechanism of action. We show that SPEN is essential for initiating gene silencing on the X chromosome in preimplantation mouse embryos and embryonic stem cells. On the other hand, SPEN is dispensable for maintenance of XCI in neural progenitor cells, although it significantly dampens expression of genes that escape from XCI. During initiation of XCI, we show by live-cell imaging and CUT&RUN approaches that SPEN is immediately recruited to the X chromosome upon Xist up-regulation, where it is targeted to enhancers and promoters of actively transcribed genes. SPEN rapidly disengages from chromatin once silencing is accomplished, implying a need for active transcription to tether it to chromatin. We define SPEN’s SPOC (SPEN paralog and ortholog C-terminal) domain as a major effector of SPEN’s gene silencing function, and show that artificial tethering of SPOC to Xist RNA is sufficient to mediate X-linked gene silencing. We identify SPOC’s protein partners which include NCOR/SMRT, the m6A RNA methylation machinery, the NuRD complex, RNA polymerase II and factors involved in regulation of transcription initiation and elongation. We propose that SPEN acts as a molecular integrator for initiation of XCI, bridging Xist RNA with the transcription machinery as well as nucleosome remodelers and histone deacetylases, at active enhancers and promoters.

Maternal Eed knockout causes loss of H3K27me3 imprinting and random X-inactivation in the extra-embryonic cells

Project description:Genomic imprinting is essential for mammalian development. Recent studies have revealed that maternal histone H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation (H3K27me3) can mediate DNA methylation-independent genomic imprinting. However, the regulatory mechanisms and functions of this new imprinting mechanism are largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that maternal Eed, an essential component of the Polycomb group complex 2 (PRC2), is required for establishing H3K27me3 imprinting. We found that all H3K27me3 imprinted genes, including Xist, lose their imprinted expression in Eed maternal KO (matKO) embryos, resulting in male-biased lethality. Surprisingly, although maternal X chromosome inactivation (XmCI) occurs in Eed matKO embryos at preimplantation due to loss of Xist imprinting, it is resolved at peri-implantation. Ultimately, both X chromosomes are reactivated in the embryonic cell lineage prior to random XCI, and only a single X chromosome undergoes random XCI in the extra-embryonic cell lineage. Thus, our study not only demonstrates an essential role of Eed in H3K27me3 imprinting establishment but also reveals a unique XCI dynamics in the absence of Xist imprinting.

Non-canonical imprinting ensures embryonic development and restrains placental overgrowth

Project description:Genomic imprinting regulates parental origin-dependent mono-allelic gene expression. It is mediated by either germline differential methylation of DNA (canonical imprinting) or oocyte-derived H3K27me3 (non-canonical imprinting) in mice. Depletion of Eed, an essential component of Polycomb repressive complex 2, results in genome-wide loss of H3K27me3 in oocytes, which causes loss of non-canonical imprinting (LOI) in embryos. Although Eed maternal KO (matKO) embryos show partial lethality after implantation, it is unknown whether LOI itself contributes to the developmental phenotypes of these embryos, which makes it unclear whether non-canonical imprinting is developmentally relevant. Here, by combinatorial matKO of Xist, a non-canonical imprinted gene whose LOI causes aberrant transient maternal X chromosome inactivation (XCI) at preimplantation, we show that prevention of the transient maternal XCI greatly restores the development of Eed matKO embryos. Moreover, we find that the placentae of Eed matKO embryos are remarkably enlarged in a manner independent of Xist LOI. Heterozygous deletion screening of individual autosomal non-canonical imprinted genes suggests that LOI of the Sfmbt2 miRNA cluster-chromosome 2 miRNA cluster (C2MC), solute carrier family 38 member 4 (Slc38a4), and Gm32885 contributes to the placental enlargement. Taken together, our study provides evidence that Xist imprinting sustains embryonic development and autosomal non-canonical imprinting restrains placental overgrowth.

Genomic imprinting of Xist by maternal H3K27me3

Project description:Maternal imprinting at the Xist gene is essential to achieve paternal allele-specific imprinted X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in female mammals. However, the mechanism underlying the Xist imprinting is unclear. Here we show that the Xist gene is coated with H3K27me3 in mouse oocytes, which persists through preimplantation development. Ectopic removal of H3K27me3 induces maternal Xist expression and maternal XCI, indicating that maternal H3K27me3 is the imprinting mark of Xist.

Xist-dependent imprinted X inactivation and the early developmental consequences of its failure

Project description:In Mammals, the difference in sex-chromosome constitution between males (XY) and females (XX) has led to the evolution of dosage compensation strategies, including silencing of an entire X chromosome in females. In mice, X chromosome inactivation (XCI) first occurs in the pre-implantation embryo. Here the non-coding Xist RNA is expressed only from the paternal allele and the paternal X (Xp) becomes inactivated. The Xp is reactivated in the inner cell mass and this is followed by random XCI in the embryo proper, while in extra-embryonic tissues the Xp remains inactive. Although random XCI initiation is thought to be fully Xist-dependent in the mouse, initiation of imprinted XCI was reported to be Xist-independent. Furthermore, the chromosome-wide dynamics of XCI in early embryos of reciprocal inter-specific crosses, which better reflect a natural situation, have never been investigated. Here we report that the expression dynamics of X-linked genes depends both on strain and parent of origin, as well as on X chromosome location, using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) of early mouse embryos. We also demonstrate that initiation of imprinted XCI absolutely requires Xist and that its absence leads to genome-wide transcriptional misregulation in the early blastocyst, with massive over-expression of specific genes such as Rhox5 and failure to activate the extra-embryonic pathway essential for early post-implantation development. This study provides important insights into the transcriptional and allelic dynamics of the X chromosome and the first evidence of dosage compensation failure as early as the blastocyst stage.
