Epigenetic Modification Agents Improve Genomic Methylation Reprogramming in Porcine Cloned Embryos
Incomplete DNA methylation reprogramming in cloned embryos leads to low cloning efficiency. Our previous studies showed that the epigenetic modification agents 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) or trichostatin A (TSA) could enhance the developmental competence of porcine cloned embryos. Here, we investigated genomic methylation dynamics and specific gene expression levels during early embryonic...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modification Agents Improve Gene-Specific Methylation Reprogramming in Porcine Cloned Embryos
Incomplete DNA methylation reprogramming in cloned embryos leads to poor cloning efficiency. Epigenetic modification agents can improve genomic methylation reprogramming and the development of cloned embryos, however, the effect of epigenetic modification agents on gene-specific methylation reprogramming remains poorly studied. Here, we investigated DNA methylation reprogramming of pluripotency...
متن کاملConservation of methylation reprogramming in mammalian development: aberrant reprogramming in cloned embryos.
Mouse embryos undergo genome-wide methylation reprogramming by demethylation in early preimplantation development, followed by remethylation thereafter. Here we show that genome-wide reprogramming is conserved in several mammalian species and ask whether it also occurs in embryos cloned with the use of highly methylated somatic donor nuclei. Normal bovine, rat, and pig zygotes showed a demethyl...
متن کاملEpigenetic Reprogramming: How Now, Cloned Cow?
DNA methylation patterns are dynamic in cleavage-stage embryos of a number of mammalian species. A failure to properly recapitulate preimplantation DNA methylation patterns in embryos derived by nuclear transfer may contribute to the low efficiency of nuclear transfer in producing live offspring.
متن کاملDelayed and incomplete reprogramming of chromosome methylation patterns in bovine cloned embryos
Full-term development has now been achieved in several mammalian species by transfer of somatic nuclei into enucleated oocytes [1, 2]. Although a high proportion of such reconstructed embryos can evolve until the blastocyst stage, only a few percent develop into live offspring, which often exhibit developmental abnormalities [3, 4]. Regulatory epigenetic markers such as DNA methylation are impo...
