Abstract
During the first cell cycles of the early development, the chromatin of the embryo is highly reprogrammed alongside that embryonic genome starts its own transcription. The spatial organization of the genome is a major process that contributes to regulating gene transcription in time and space, however, it is poorly studied in the context of early embryos. To study the cause and effect link between transcription and spatial organization in embryos, we focused on the ribosomal genes, that are first silent and begin to transcribe during the 2-cell stage in the mouse. We demonstrated that ribosomal sequences and early unprocessed rRNAs are spatially organized in a very peculiar manner from the 2-cell to the 16-cell. Using drugs interfering with ribosomal DNA transcription, we show that this organization, totally different from somatic cells, depends on an active transcription of ribosomal genes and induces a unique chromatin environment that favors transcription of major satellite sequences after the 4-cell stage.

Abstract
The conserved 3'-5' exoribonuclease EXOSC10/Rrp6 is required for gametogenesis, brain development, erythropoiesis and blood cell enhancer function. The human ortholog is essential for mitosis in cultured cancer cells. Little is known, however, about the role of Exosc10 during embryo development and organogenesis. We generated an Exosc10 knockout model and find that Exosc10-/- mice show an embryonic lethal phenotype. We demonstrate that Exosc10 maternal wild type mRNA is present in mutant oocytes and that the gene is expressed during all stages of early embryogenesis. Furthermore, we observe that EXOSC10 early on localizes to the periphery of nucleolus precursor bodies in blastomeres, which is in keeping with the protein's role in rRNA processing and may indicate a function in the establishment of chromatin domains during initial stages of embryogenesis. Finally, we infer from genotyping data for embryonic days e7.5, e6.5 and e4.5 and embryos cultured in vitro that Exosc10-/- mutants arrest at the eight-cell embryo/morula transition. Our results demonstrate a novel essential role for Exosc10 during early embryogenesis, and they are consistent with earlier work showing that impaired ribosome biogenesis causes a developmental arrest at the morula stage.

Abstract
SummaryThe present study examines the role of RNA polymerase I (RPI)-mediated transcription, maternally inherited rRNA and nucleolar proteins in the resumption of fibrillogranular nucleoli during embryonic genome activation (EGA) in porcine embryos. Late 4-cell embryos were incubated in the absence (control) or presence of actinomycin D (AD) (0.2 μg/ml for inhibition of RPI; 2.0 μg/ml for inhibition of total transcription) and late 2-cell embryos were cultured to the late 4-cell stage with 0.2 μg/ml AD to block EGA. Embryos were then processed for reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and for autoradiography (ARG), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), silver staining and immunofluorescence (for RPI). Embryos in the control group displayed extranucleolar and intranucleolar ARG labelling, and exhibited de novo synthesis of rRNA and reticulated functional nucleoli. Nucleolar proteins were located in large foci. After RPI inhibition, nucleolar precursors transformed into segregated fibrillogranular structures, however no fibrillar centres were observed. The localization of rDNA and clusters of rRNA were detected in 57.1% immunoprecipitated (IP) analyzed nucleoli and dispersed RPI; 30.5% of nuclei showed large deposits of nucleolar proteins. Embryos from the AD-2.0 group did not display any transcriptional activity. Nucleolar formation was completely blocked, however 39.4% of nuclei showed rRNA clusters; 85.7% of nuclei were co-localized with nucleolar proteins. Long-term transcriptional inhibition resulted in the lack of ARG and RPI labelling; 40% of analyzed nuclei displayed the accumulation of rRNA molecules into large foci. In conclusion, maternally inherited rRNA co-localized with rDNA and nucleolar proteins can initiate a partial nucleolar assembly, resulting in the formation of fibrilogranular structures independently on activation of RPI-mediated transcription.

Abstract
The nucleolus is a dynamic nuclear compartment that is mostly involved in ribosome subunit biogenesis; however, it may also play a role in many other biological processes, such as stress response and the cell cycle. Mainly using electron microscopy, several studies have tried to decipher how active nucleoli are set up during early development in mice. In this study, we analyzed nucleologenesis during mouse early embryonic development using 3D-immunofluorescent detection of UBF and Nopp140, two proteins associated with different nucleolar compartments. UBF is a transcription factor that helps maintain the euchromatic state of ribosomal genes; Nopp140 is a phosphoprotein that has been implicated in pre-rRNA processing. First, using detailed image analyses and the in situ proximity ligation assay technique, we demonstrate that UBF and Nopp140 dynamic redistribution between the two-cell and blastocyst stages (time of implantation) is correlated with morphological and structural modifications that occur in embryonic nucleolar compartments. Our results also support the hypothesis that nucleoli develop at the periphery of nucleolar precursor bodies. Finally, we show that the RNA polymerase I inhibitor CX-5461: 1) disrupts transcriptional activity, 2) alters preimplantation development, and 3) leads to a complete reorganization of UBF and Nopp140 distribution. Altogether, our results underscore that highly dynamic changes are occurring in the nucleoli of embryos and confirm a close link between ribosomal gene transcription and nucleologenesis during the early stages of development.

Abstract
In the Caenorhabditis elegans nematode, the oocyte nucleolus disappears prior to fertilization. We have now investigated the re-formation of the nucleolus in the early embryo of this model organism by immunostaining for fibrillarin and DAO-5, a putative NOLC1/Nopp140 homolog involved in ribosome assembly. We find that labeled nucleoli first appear in somatic cells at around the 8-cell stage, at a time when transcription of the embryonic genome begins. Quantitative analysis of radial positioning showed the nucleolus to be localized at the nuclear periphery in a majority of early embryonic nuclei. At the ultrastructural level, the embryonic nucleolus appears to be composed of a relatively homogenous core surrounded by a crescent-shaped granular structure. Prior to embryonic genome activation, fibrillarin and DAO-5 staining is seen in numerous small nucleoplasmic foci. This staining pattern persists in the germline up to the ∼100-cell stage, until the P4 germ cell divides to give rise to the Z2/Z3 primordial germ cells and embryonic transcription is activated in this lineage. In the ncl-1 mutant, which is characterized by increased transcription of rDNA, DAO-5-labeled nucleoli are already present at the 2-cell stage. Our results suggest a link between the activation of transcription and the initial formation of nucleoli in the C. elegans embryo.

Abstract
Pre-implantation embryos derived by in vitro fertilization differ in their developmental potential from embryos obtained in vivo. In order to characterize changes in gene expression profiles caused by in vitro culture environment, we employed microarray constructed from bovine oocyte and preimplantation embryo-specific cDNAs (BlueChip, Université Laval, Québec). The analysis revealed changes in the level of 134 transcripts between in vitro derived (cultured in COOK BVC/BVB media) and in vivo derived 4-cell stage embryos and 97 transcripts were differentially expressed between 8-cell stage in vitro and in vivo embryos. The expression profiles of 7 selected transcripts (BUB3, CUL1, FBL, NOLC1, PCAF, GABPA and CNOT4) were studied in detail. We have identified a switch from Cullin 1-like transcript variant 1 to Cullin 1 transcript variant 3 (UniGene IDs BT.36789 and BT.6490, respectively) expressions around the time of bovine major gene activation (8-cell stage). New fibrillarin protein was detected by immunofluorescence already in early 8-cell stage and this detection correlated with increased level of fibrillarin mRNA. The qRT-PCR analysis revealed significant differences in the level of BUB3, NOLC1, PCAF, GABPA and CNOT4 gene transcripts between in vivo derived (IVD) and in vitro produced (IVP) embryos in late 8-cell stage. The combination of these genes represents a suitable tool for addressing questions concerning normal IVD embryo development and can be potentially useful as a marker of embryo quality in future attempts to optimize in vitro culture conditions.

Abstract
We investigated distribution of the nucleolar phosphoprotein Nopp140 within mammalian cells, using immunofluorescence confocal microscopy and immunoelectron microscopy. During interphase, three-dimensional image reconstructions of confocal sections revealed that nucleolar labelling appeared as several tiny spheres organized in necklaces. Moreover, after an immunogold labelling procedure, gold particles were detected not only over the dense fibrillar component but also over the fibrillar centres of nucleoli in untreated and actinomycin D-treated cells. Labelling was also consistently present in Cajal bodies. After pulse-chase experiments with BrUTP, colocalization was more prominent after a 10- to 15-min chase than after a 5-min chase. During mitosis, confocal analysis indicated that Nopp140 organization was lost. The protein dispersed between and around the chromosomes in prophase. From prometaphase to telophase, it was also detected in numerous cytoplasmic nucleolus-derived foci. During telophase, it reappeared in the reforming nucleoli of daughter nuclei. This strongly suggests that Nopp140 could be a component implicated in the early steps of pre-rRNA processing.

Abstract
Background RNA-binding motif protein 19 (RBM19, NCBI Accession # NP_083038) is a conserved nucleolar protein containing 6 conserved RNA recognition motifs. Its biochemical function is to process rRNA for ribosome biogenesis, and it has been shown to play a role in digestive organ development in zebrafish. Here we analyzed the role of RBM19 during mouse embryonic development by generating mice containing a mutation in the Rbm19 locus via gene-trap insertion. Results Homozygous mutant embryos failed to develop beyond the morula stage, showing defective nucleologenesis, activation of apoptosis, and upregulation of P53 target genes. A unique feature of RBM19 is its localization to the cytoplasm in morula stage-embryos, whereas most other nucleolar proteins are localized to the nucleolar precursor body (NPB). The nucleoli in the Rbm19 mutant embryos remain immature, yet they can carry out rRNA synthesis. The timing of developmental arrest occurs after expression of the inner cell mass markers OCT3/4 and NANOG, but prior to the specification of trophectoderm as reflected by CDX2 expression. Conclusion The data indicate that RBM19 is essential for preimplantation development, highlighting the importance of de novo nucleologenesis during this critical developmental stage.

Abstract
The step-wise assembly of a functional nucleolus, which occurs over the first few cell cycles during preimplantation development, is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the function of the evolutionary conserved nucleolar protein SURF6 in preimplantation mouse embryo development. Immunocytochemical analyses revealed that the localization of SURF6 was similar but not identical to those of fibrillarin and B23/nucleophosmin 1, which are involved in rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis in mammalian somatic cells. Surf6 mRNA, which is expressed in oocytes and maternally inherited in the zygote, reached a peak level of expression during the 8-cell stage of embryo development, at which time rDNA is highly transcribed. Knock-down of Surf6 mRNA by RNAi led to a decrease in both the mRNA and protein levels, and resulted in developmental arrest at the 8-cell/morula stage, as well as a decrease in the level of 18S rRNA. These results suggest that Surf6 is essential for mouse preimplantation development, presumably by regulating ribosome biogenesis.

Abstract
The nucleolar precursor bodies (NPBs) are numerous discrete entities present in the nuclei of early mammalian embryos, which structurally support active rRNA genes. However, whether all rRNA genes, including those not transcribed, are spatially associated with NPBs, and moreover what is the general arrangement of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) in early mouse embryos, still remain unanswered questions. In our study, we examined the localization of rDNA in transcriptionally silent (one-cell and early two-cell) and transcriptionally active (late two-cell) mouse embryos by highly sensitive fluorescence in situ hybridization with probes complementary to mouse rDNA repeats. The results obtained showed that irrespective of the rDNA transcriptional status, one or more NPBs per nucleus were not structurally associated with rDNA. These observations support the idea that NPBs are heterogeneous in their ability to recruit rRNA genes and thus to participate in reassembly of the mature nucleolus. As in somatic cells, and despite the absence of the characteristic nucleoli, the general arrangement of rRNA genes in early mouse embryos reflected the intensity of rDNA transcription. Ribosomal RNA genes were unequally distributed with respect to repeat putative copy numbers between nucleolar organizing region (NOR)-bearing chromosomes at the first cleavage division, and more strikingly, between sister chromatid NORs of a single nucleolar organizing chromosome. The latter indicates that sister chromatids might harbor various numbers of rRNA gene copies, and that the genes might be unequally distributed between the two blastomeres during the first cleavage mitosis.

Abstract
After fertilization, ribosomal RNA synthesis is silenced during a period which depends on the species. Data concerning the reassembly of a functional nucleolus remain scarce. We have examined by immunocytochemistry, Western blots, and BrUTP microinjection the dynamics of major nucleolar proteins during the first cycles of mouse embryogenesis, in relation to rDNA transcription sites and coilin, a marker of Cajal bodies. We show that: (1) the reinitiation of rDNA transcription occurs at the two-cell stage, 44-45 h after hCG injection (hphCG), at the surface of the nucleolar precursor bodies (NPBs), where the RNA polymerase I (pol I) transcription complex is recruited 4-5 h before; (2) the NPBs are not equal in their ability to support recruitment of pol I and rDNA transcription; (3) maternally inherited fibrillarin undergoes a dynamic redistribution during the second cell stage, together with coilin, leading to the assembly of the Cajal body around 40 hphCG; and (4) the pol I complex is first recruited to the Cajal body before reaching its rDNA template. We also find that fibrillarin and B23 are both directly assembled around NPBs prior to ongoing pre-rRNA synthesis. Altogether, our results reveal a role of the Cajal bodies in the building of a functional nucleolus.
