| 1 | Genome wide abnormal DNA methylome of human blastocyst in assisted reproductive technology显示文摘Proper reprogramming of parental DNA methylomes is essential for mammalian embryonic development.However,it is unknown whether abnormal methylome reprogramming occurs and is associated with the failure of embryonic development.Here we analyzed the DNA methylomes of 57 blastocysts and 29 trophectoderm samples with different morphological grades during assisted reproductive technology(ART) practices.Our data reveal that the global methylation levels of high-quality blastocysts are similar(0.30 ± 0.02,mean ± SD).while the methylation levels of low-quality blastocysts are divergent and away from those of high-quality blastocysts.The proportion of blastocysts with a methylation level falling within the range of 0.30 ± 0.02 in different grades correlates with the live birth rate for that grade.Moreover,abnormal methylated regions are associated with the failure of embryonic development.Furthermore,we can use the methylation data of cells biopsied from trophectoderm to predict the blastocyst methylation level as well as to detect the aneuploidy of the blastocysts.Our data indicate that global abnormal methylome reprogramming often occurs in human embryos,and suggest that DNA methylome is a potential biomarker in blastocyst selection in ART. | Guoqiang Li Yang Yu Yong Fan Congru Li Xiaocui Xu Jialei Duan Rong Li Xiangjin Kang Xin Ma Xuepeng Chen Yuwen Ke Jie Yan Ying Lian Ping Liu Yue Zhao Hongcui Zhao Yaoyong Chen Xiaofang Sun Jianqiao Liu Jie Qiao Jiang Liu | 2017 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2017，44，10： | 5 |
| 2 | Evolutionary transition between invertebrates and vertebrates via methylation reprogramming in embryogenesis显示文摘Major evolutionary transitions are enigmas,and the most notable enigma is between invertebrates and vertebrates,with numerous spectacular innovations.To search for the molecular connections involved,we asked whether global epigenetic changes may offer a clue by surveying the inheritance and reprogramming of parental DNA methylation across metazoans.We focused on gametes and early embryos,where the methylomes are known to evolve divergently between fish and mammals.Here,we find that methylome reprogramming during embryogenesis occurs neither in pre-bilaterians such as cnidarians nor in protostomes such as insects,but clearly presents in deuterostomes such as echinoderms and invertebrate chordates,and then becomes more evident in vertebrates.Functional association analysis suggests that DNA methylation reprogramming is associated with development,reproduction and adaptive immunity for vertebrates,but not for invertebrates.Interestingly,the single HOX cluster of invertebrates maintains unmethylated status in all stages examined.In contrast,the multiple HOX clusters show dramatic dynamics of DNA methylation during vertebrate embryogenesis.Notably,the methylation dynamics of HOX clusters are associated with their spatiotemporal expression in mammals.Our study reveals that DNA methylation reprogramming has evolved dramatically during animal evolution,especially after the evolutionary transitions from invertebrates to vertebrates,and then to mammals. | Xiaocui Xu Guoqiang Li Congru Li Jing Zhang Qiang Wang David KSimmons Xuepeng Chen Naveen Wijesena Wei Zhu Zhanyang Wang Zhenhua Wang Bao Ju Weimin Ci Xuemei Lu Daqi Yu Qian-fei Wang Neelakanteswar Aluru Paola Oliveri Yong EZhang Mark QMartindale Jiang Liu | 2019 | National Science Review2019，6，5： | 2 |
