Chromosome methylation patterns during mammalian preimplantation development.
DNA methylation patterns were evaluated during preimplantation mouse development by analyzing the binding of monoclonal antibody to 5-methylcytosine (5-MeC) on metaphase chromosomes. Specific chromosome patterns were observed in each cell stage. A banding pattern predominated in chromosomes at the one-cell stage. Banding was replaced at the two-cell stage by an asymmetrical labeling of the sist...
متن کاملNon-conservation of mammalian preimplantation methylation dynamics
In mammals, active demethylation of sperm pronuclear DNA shortly after fertilisation is thought to be important for reprogramming subsequent embryonic development [1–3]. A further passive loss of methylation has been observed as DNA replicates between 2-cell and morula stages, with somatic cell levels being re-established at or after the blastocyst stage when differentiated lineages are first f...
متن کاملMethylation levels of maternal and paternal genomes during preimplantation development.
The methylation status of three highly repeated sequences was studied in sperm, eggs and preimplantation embryos with different combinations of parental chromosomes. High levels of methylation of the IAP and MUP sequence families were found in sperm and in eggs, whereas the L1 repeat was found to be highly methylated in sperm but only about 42% methylated in eggs. To assess how the two parental...

متن کاملEpigenetic regulation in mammalian preimplantation embryo development
Preimplantation embryo development involves four stages: fertilization, cell cleavage, morula and blastocyst formation. During these stages, maternal and zygotic epigenetic factors play crucial roles. The gene expression profile is changed dramatically, chromatin is modified and core histone elements undergo significant changes. Each preimplantation embryo stage has its own characteristic epige...
