Zhao X, Du M, Wu S, Du Z, Liu S, Yang L, Ma H, Zhang L, Song L, Bai C, Su G, Li G. High histone crotonylation modification in bovine fibroblasts promotes cell proliferation and the developmental efficiency of preimplantation nuclear transfer embryos. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10295. [PMID: 38704415 PMCID: PMC11069573 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61148-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a recently discovered histone acylation modification that is closely associated with gene expression, cell proliferation, and the maintenance of stem cell pluripotency and indicates the transcriptional activity of genes and the regulation of various biological processes. During cell culture, the introduction of exogenous croconic acid disodium salt (Nacr) has been shown to modulate intracellular Kcr levels. Although research on Kcr has increased, its role in cell growth and proliferation and its potential regulatory mechanisms remain unclear compared to those of histone methylation and acetylation. Our investigation demonstrated that the addition of 5 mM Nacr to cultured bovine fibroblasts increased the expression of genes associated with Kcr modification, ultimately promoting cell growth and stimulating cell proliferation. Somatic cell nuclear transfer of donor cells cultured in 5 mM Nacr resulted in 38.1% blastocyst development, which was significantly greater than that in the control group (25.2%). This research is important for elucidating the crotonylation modification mechanism in fibroblast proliferation to promote the efficacy of somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Abstract
The success of reprogramming is dependent on the reprogramming factors enriched in the cytoplasm of recipient oocytes and the potential of donor nucleus to be reprogrammed. Histone 3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) was identified as a major epigenetic barrier impeding complete reprogramming. Treating donor cell with vitamin C (Vc) can enhance the developmental potential of cloned embryos, but the underlying mechanisms still need to be elucidated. In this study, we found that 20μg/mL Vc could promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of BFFs, as well as down-regulate the H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin and increase chromatin accessibility. Inhibited the expression of KDM4A resulted in increasing apoptosis rate and the H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin, which can be restored by Vc. Moreover, Vc up-regulated the expression of KDM4A through PI3K/PDK1/SGK1 pathway. Inhibiting any factor in the signal axis of this PI3K pathway not only suppressed the activity of KDM4A but also substantially increased the level of H3K9me3 modification and the expression of the HP1α protein. Finally, Vc can rescue those negative effects induced by the blocking the PI3K/PDK1/SGK1 pathway. Collectively, Vc can down-regulate the H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin in BFFs via PI3K/PDK1/SGK1/KDM4A signal axis, suggesting that Vc can turn the chromatin status of donor cells to be reprogrammed more easily.

Abstract
Mammalian individuals differ in their somatic cell cloning efficiency, but the mechanisms leading to this variation is poorly understood. Here we found that high cloning efficiency buffalo fetal fibroblasts (BFFs) displayed robust energy metabolism, looser chromatin structure, high H3K9 acetylation and low heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) expression. High cloning efficiency BFFs had more H3K9ac regions near to the upstream of glycolysis genes by ChIP-seq, and involved more openness loci related to glycolysis genes through ATAC-seq. The expression of these glycolysis genes was also found to be higher in high cloning efficiency BFFs by qRT-PCR. Two key enzymes of glycolysis, PDKs and LDH, were confirmed to be associated with histone acetylation and chromatin openness of BFFs. Treatment of low cloning efficiency BFFs with PS48 (activator of PDK1) resulted in an increase in the intracellular lactate production and H3K9 acetylation, decrease in histone deacetylase activity and HP1α expression, less condensed chromatin structure and more cloning embryos developing to blastocysts. These results indicate that the cloning efficiency of buffalo somatic cells is associated with their glycolytic metabolism and chromatin structure, and can be improved by increasing glycolytic metabolism.

Abstract
Buffaloes are raised by small farm holders primarily as source of draft power owing to its resistance to hot climate, disease, and stress conditions. Over the years, transformation of these animals from draft to dairy was deliberately carried out through genetic improvement program leading to the development of buffalo-based enterprises. Buffalo production is now getting more attention and interest from buffalo raisers due to its socioeconomic impact as well as its contribution to propelling the livestock industry in many developing countries. Reproduction of buffaloes, however, is confronted with huge challenge and concern as being generally less efficient to reproduce compared with cattle due to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as poor estrus manifestation, silent heat, marked seasonal infertility, postpartum anestrus, long calving interval, delayed puberty, inherently low number of primordial follicles in their ovaries, high incidence of atresia, and apoptosis. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) are major interventions for the efficient utilization of follicle reserve in buffaloes. The present review focuses on estrus and ovulation synchronization for fixed time artificial insemination, in vitro embryo production, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos, somatic cell nuclear transfer, the factors affecting utilization in various ARTs, and future perspectives in buffaloes.

Abstract
Somatic cell biobanking and related technologies, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), and induction of pluripotent stem cells offer significant promise for wildlife conservation, but have yet to achieve optimal success. Inefficiency and variability in outcome have been linked to incomplete nuclear reprogramming, highlighting the importance of donor cell contribution. Studies show significant differences in SCNT outcome in donor cell lines within and between individuals, highlighting the necessity for a standardized characterization method to evaluate cell line reprogramming potential. Stringently standardized bovine fibroblast cell lines were generated and assessed for inter- and intraindividual variability on cellular (morphology, chromosome number, apoptotic incidence; Experiment 1) and molecular (pluripotency and epigenetic-related gene expression; Experiment 2) levels encompassing putative biomarkers of reprogramming potential. Cellular parameters were similar across cell lines. While some statistically significant differences were observed in DNMT1, DNMT3B, and HAT1, but not HDAC1, their biological relevance could not be determined with the information at hand. This study lays the foundation for understanding cellular characteristics in cultured cell lines; however, further studies are required to determine any correlation with reprogramming potential.

Abstract
Expression levels of 13 microRNAs (miRNAs) were compared between buffalo blastocysts produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer through hand-made cloning and IVF to improve cloning efficiency. Expression of miR-22, miR-145, miR-374a and miR-30c was higher, whereas that of miR-29b, miR-101, miR-302b, miR-34a, miR-21 and miR-25 was lower, in nuclear transferred (NT) than IVF embryos; the expression of miR-200b, miR-26a and miR-128 was similar between the two groups. Based on these, miR-145, which is involved in the regulation of pluripotency, was selected for further investigation of NT embryos. miR-145 expression was lowest at the 2-cell stage, increased through the 4-cell stage and was highest at the 8-cell or morula stage in a pattern that was similar between NT and IVF embryos. miR-145 expression was higher in NT than IVF embryos at all stages examined. Treatment of reconstructed embryos 1h after electrofusion with an inhibitor of miR-145 for 1h decreased the apoptotic index and increased the blastocyst rate, total cell number, ratio of cells in the inner cell mass to trophectoderm, global levels of acetylation of histone 3 at lysine 18 and expression of Krueppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) and SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2) in blastocysts. Treatment with an miR-145 mimic had the opposite effects. In conclusion, treatment of NT embryos with an miR-145 inhibitor improves the developmental competence and quality, and increases histone acetylation and expression of pluripotency-related genes.

Abstract
The current study investigated the mechanism of mini pig fetal fibroblasts in improving the epigenetic modification and preimplantation development of cloned embryos. The results showed that the increased AcH3K14 level was dose- and time-dependent. Histone hyperacetylation had no significant effect on cell morphology, cell viability, cell cycle, and relative gene (HDAC1, HAT1, DNMT3A, and BAX) expression. The treated cloned embryos had significantly higher development rates and the total nuclei number than the control (27.62 ± 6.94 % vs. 16.14 ± 10.55 %; 43.90 ± 18.39 vs. 33.06 ± 15.87; P < 0.05). The AcH3K14 level in the treated cloned blastocysts was close to that of IVF blastocysts (5.17 ± 0.93 vs. 5.45 ± 1.91, P > 0.05). The gene transcription (CDX2 and OCT4) of the treated cloned blastocysts was significantly up-regulated than the control (3.32 ± 0.51 vs. 2.05 ± 0.30; 1.21 ± 0.18 vs. 0.81 ± 0.09; P < 0.05). The improvement in the cloned embryo development and the partial correction of abnormal acetylation modification were not necessarily related to the cellular characteristics. This could be caused by histone hyperacetylation of mini pig fetal fibroblasts.

Abstract
To improve the isolation efficiency of parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells (pESCs) in mice, it is necessary to optimize the method to increase in vitro developmental competence of mice parthenogenetic blastocysts. Therefore, this study aims to investigate an optimal method for the production of mouse parthenogenetic blastocysts and isolation of pESC colonies by comparing the effects of two methods: (1) the treatment of histone deacetylase inhibitor PXD101 before, during, or after parthenogenetic activation; (2) parthenogenetic embryo aggregation; and (3) their combination treatment. The results suggest that application of PXD101 treatment and embryo aggregation could both improve the development of mouse parthenogenetic blastocysts (50 nM PXD101 treated 4 hours during activation and further 4 hours after activation: 40.0% vs. 20.0%; p < 0.05; two-cell embryo aggregation: 38.3% vs. 20.0%; p < 0.05) and also enhance the isolation rate of pESC colonies (PXD101: 33.3% vs. 11.8%; p < 0.05; two-cell embryo aggregation: 36.4% vs. 11.8%; p < 0.05). The combination of their treatments had the higher rate of parthenogenetic blastocyst development (41.7%) and significantly higher rate of pESC colony isolation from parthenogenetic blastocysts (45.0%); therefore, we concluded that the combination of these two methods (50 nM PXD101 treated for 8 hours and then aggregated at two-cell stage with 0.25% pronase for 10 minutes in our self-made concave) is considered the optimal way for the in vitro development of parthenogenetic blastocysts and subsequent pESC colony isolation in mice, opening new opportunities for application of this combination method to improve the parthenogenetic embryo development in other species.

Abstract
Epigenetic reprogramming is an indispensable process during the course of mammalian development, but aberrant in cloned embryos. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of donor cell treatment with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor m-carboxycinnamic acid bishydroxymide (CBHA) on cloned embryo development and establish its optimal concentration. Different concentrations of CBHA (2.5, 5.0, 10.0, and 20.0 μM) were used to treat buffalo adult fibroblast cells for 24 hours and effect on cell proliferation, gene expression, and histone modifications was analyzed. Based on these experiments, the best concentration was chosen to determine the effect of enhanced gene activation mark on developmental rates. Among the different concentrations, CBHA at higher concentration (20 μM) shows the sign of apoptosis and stress as indicated by proliferation rate and gene expression data. CBHA treatment significantly decreased the activity of HDACs and increased the level of gene activation mark H3K9ac and H3K4me3, but could not alter the level of H3K27ac. Based on these experiments, 5 μM CBHA was chosen for treatment of donor cells used for the production of cloned embryos. There was no significant difference in cleavage rate between the control and CBHA treatment group (98.5% ± 1.5% vs. 99.0% ± 1.0%), whereas, blastocyst rate markedly improved (46.65% ± 1.94% vs. 57.18% ± 2.68%). The level of H3K9ac and H3K27me3 did not differ significantly in cloned blastocyst produced from either control or CBHA-treated cells. Altogether, these results suggested that donor cell treatment with CBHA supports the reprogramming process and improves the cloned preimplantation development.

Abstract
Maternal-effect genes are especially critical for early embryonic development after fertilization and until massive activation of the embryonic genome occurs. By applying a tandem mass tag (TMT)-labeled quantitative proteomics combined with RNA sequencing approach, the proteome of the buffalo was quantitatively analyzed during parthenogenesis of mature oocytes and the two-cell stage embryo. Of 1908 quantified proteins, 123 differed significantly. The transcriptome was analyzed eight stages (GV, MII, 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, 16-cell, morula, blastocyst) of Buffalo using the RNA sequencing approach, and a total of 3567 unique genes were identified to be differently expressed between all consecutive stages of pre-implantation development. Validation of proteomics results (TUBB3, CTNNA1, CDH3, MAP2K1), which are involved in tight junction and gap junction, revealing that the maternal expression of the proteins possibly plays a role in the formation of cellular junctions firstly after parthenogenetic activation. Correlation and hierarchical analyses of transcriptional profiles and the expression of NPM2 and NLRP5 mRNA of buffalo in vitro developed oocytes and parthenogenetic embryos indicated that the "maternal-to-zygotic transition" (MZT) process might exist in the model of parthenogenesis, which is similar to a normally fertilized embryo, and may occur between the 8-cell to 16-cell stage. These data provide a rich resource for further studies on maternal proteins and genes and are conducive to improving nuclear transfer technology.

Abstract
Serum starvation is a routine protocol for synchronizing nuclear donor cells to G0/G1 phase during somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, abrupt serum deprivation can cause serious stress to the cells cultured in vitro, which might result in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, chromosome damage, and finally reduce the success rate of SCNT. In the present study, the effects of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), an effective ER stress-relieving drug, on the nuclear donor cells under serum deprivation condition as well as following SCNT procedures were first assessed in the bovine. The results showed that TUDCA significantly reduced ER stress and cell apoptosis in those nuclear donor cells. Moreover, it significantly decreased the expression of Hdac1 and Dnmt1, and increased the level of H3K9 acetylation in nuclear donor cells compared with control group. SCNT reconstructed embryos cloned from TUDCA-treated donor cells showed significantly higher fusion, cleavage, blastocyst formation rate, total cell number in day 7 blastocysts, and lower apoptotic index than that from control group. In addition, the expression of Hdac1, Dnmt1 and Bax was significantly lower in blastocysts derived from TUDCA-treated donor cells than that from control group. In conclusion, TUDCA significantly reduced the ER stress of nuclear donor cells under serum starvation condition, and significantly improved the developmental competence of following SCNT reconstructed embryos when these TUDCA-treated cells were used as the nuclear donors.

Abstract
The use of histone deacetylase inhibitors such as trichostatin A (TSA) for epigenetic transformation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), whose nuclei will be transferred into enucleated oocytes, is a novel approach in research involving somatic cell cloning of pigs and other mammalian species. Although the effectiveness of TSA in cloning applications was confirmed, processes and mechanisms underlying achieved effects are not yet fully understood, especially for pig MSCs. To contribute to this knowledge, in this study we performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis using high-throughput sequencing of pig bone-marrow derived MSCs, both treated and untreated with TSA, and evaluated the effect of TSA administration on their transcription profile after 24 h of in vitro culture. The expression of selected positive and negative mesenchymal surface antigens was also evaluated in these cells by flow cytometry. Subsequently, the stability of induced expression changes was evaluated after another 55-72 h of culture without TSA. The results of this study showed that TSA does not affect the expression of the selected surface antigens related to MSC mesenchymal stemness origin, namely: CD90 (positive marker), CD31 and CD34 (negative markers) and has a wide stimulating effect on MSCs transcription, affecting genes across the whole genome with some minor signs of site-specific acting in regions on SSC2 and SSC6. TSA turned out to have a higher impact on already expressed genes with only minor abilities to induce expression of silenced genes. Genes with expression affected by TSA were related to a wide range of biological processes, however, we found some evidence for specific stimulation of genes associated with development, differentiation, neurogenesis or myogenesis. TSA also seemed to interfere with Wnt signaling pathways by upregulation of several engaged genes. The analysis of cell transcriptome after prolonged culture following the TSA removal, showed that the expression level of majority of genes affected by TSA is restored to the initial level. Nonetheless, the set of about six hundred genes responsible for e.g. adhesion, signal transduction and cell communication was altered even after 55-72 h of culture without TSA. TSA also enhanced expression of some of pluripotency marker genes (FGF2, LIF, TERT) but their expression was stabilized during further culture without TSA. The detailed analysis of factors connected with neuron-like differentiation allowed us to assume that TSA mostly stimulates neurogenic differentiation pathway in the pig MSCs possibly through interaction with Wnt-mediated signaling and thus triggers mechanisms conducive to epigenetic reprograming.

Abstract
The application of cloning technology on a large scale is limited by very low offspring rate primarily due to aberrant or incomplete epigenetic reprogramming. Trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC), an inhibitor of DNA methyltransferases, are widely used for altering the epigenetic status of cloned embryos. We optimized the doses of these epigenetic modifiers for production of buffalo embryos by handmade cloning and examined whether combined treatment with these epigenetic modifiers offered any advantage over treatment with the individual epigenetic modifier. Irrespective of whether donor cells or reconstructed embryos or both were treated with 50 nM TSA +7.5 nM 5-aza-dC, (1) the blastocyst rate was significantly higher (71.6 ± 3.5, 68.3 ± 2.6, and 71.8 ± 2.4, respectively, vs. 43.1 ± 3.4 for controls, p < 0.05); (2) the apoptotic index was lower (5.4 ± 1.1, 9.5 ± 1.0, and 7.4 ± 1.3, respectively, vs. 19.5 ± 2.1 for controls, p < 0.05) and was similar to that of in vitro fertilization blastocysts (6.0 ± 0.8); (3) the global level of H3K18ac was higher (p < 0.01) and that of H3K27me3 lower (p < 0.05) than in controls and was similar among all treatment groups; and (4) the expression level of epigenetic-(HDAC1, DNMT1, and DNMT3a), pluripotency-(OCT4 and NANOG), and development-related (FGF4) genes, but not that of SOX2 and CDX2, was similar among all treatment groups. These results demonstrate that similar levels of beneficial effects can be obtained following treatment of either donor cells or reconstructed embryos or both with the combination of TSA +5-aza-dC. Therefore, there is no advantage in treating both donor cells and reconstructed embryos when the combination of TSA and 5-aza-dC is used.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that histone hypoacetylation which is partly mediated by histone deacetylase (HDAC), plays a causative role in the etiology of various clinical disorders such as cancer and central nervous diseases. HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) are natural or synthetic small molecules that can inhibit the activities of HDACs and restore or increase the level of histone acetylation, thus may represent the potential approach to treating a number of clinical disorders. This manuscript reviewed the progress of the most recent experimental application of HDACis as novel potential drugs or agents in a large number of clinical disorders including various brain disorders including neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental cognitive disorders and psychiatric diseases like depression, anxiety, fear and schizophrenia, and cancer, endometriosis and cell reprogramming in somatic cell nuclear transfer in human and animal models of disease, and concluded that HDACis as potential novel therapeutic agents could be used alone or in adjunct to other pharmacological agents in various clinical diseases.

Abstract
We examined the effects of treating buffalo skin fibroblast donor cells with trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, and 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5azadC), a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor, on the cells and embryos produced by hand-made cloning. Treatment of donor cells with TSA or 5azadC resulted in altered expression levels of the HDAC1, DNMT1, DNMT3a, P53, CASPASE3 and CASPASE9 genes and global levels of acetylation of lysine at position 9 or 14 in histone 3 (H3K9/14ac), acetylation of lysine at position 5 in histone 4 (H4K5ac), acetylation of lysine at position 18 in histone 3 (H3K18ac) and tri-methylation of lysine at position 27 in histone 3 (H3K27me3). Moreover, global levels of DNA methylation and activity of DNMT1 and HDAC1 were decreased, while global acetylation of H3 and H3K9 was significantly increased in comparison to untreated cells. Simultaneous treatment of donor cells with TSA (50 nM) and 5azadC (7.5 nM) resulted in higher in vitro development to the blastocyst stage, reduction of the apoptotic index and the global level of H3K27 me3 and altered expression levels of HDAC1, P53, CASPASE3, CASPASE9 and DNMT3a in cloned blastocysts. Transfer of cloned embryos produced with donor cells treated with TSA led to the birth of a calf that survived for 21 days. These results show that treatment of buffalo donor cells with TSA and 5azadC improved developmental competence and quality of cloned embryos and altered their epigenetic status and gene expression, and that these beneficial effects were mediated by a reduction in DNA and histone methylation and an increase in histone acetylation in donor cells.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of trichostatin A (TSA) treatment of reconstructed buffalo embryos, produced by hand-made cloning using somatic cells isolated from over a decade old frozen-thawed semen, on their in vitro and in vivo developmental competence, quality and epigenetic status. Following treatment of reconstructed embryos with TSA (0, 50 or 75 nM) for 10 h prior to culture, the cleavage (100.0 ± 0, 94.5 ± 2.3 and 96.1 ± 1.2%, respectively) and blastocyst rate (50.6 ± 2.3, 48.4 ± 2.7 and 48.1 ± 2.6%, respectively), total cell number (275 ± 17.4, 289 ± 30.1 and 317 ± 24.2, respectively) and apoptotic index (5.6 ± 0.7, 3.4 ± 0.9 and 4.5 ± 1.4, respectively) were not significantly different among the three groups. However, TSA treatment increased (P < 0.05) the global level of H4K5ac and decreased (P < 0.05) that of H3K27me3 in blastocysts whereas the global level of H3K18ac was not affected significantly. Transfer of embryos treated with 75 nM TSA (n = 10) to recipients resulted in two pregnancies (20%), one out of which was aborted in the second and the other in the third trimester whereas transfer of control embryos (n = 20) or those treated with 50 nM TSA (n = 12) did not result in any pregnancy. In conclusion, these results suggest that TSA treatment of cloned buffalo embryos produced using somatic cells isolated from frozen-thawed semen improved their epigenetic status but not the in vitro developmental potential and offspring rate.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) show good promise for the treatment of defects caused by numerous genetic diseases. Herein, we successfully generated CD44 gene-deficient iPSCs using Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and vitamin C. The generated iPSCs displayed a characteristic morphology similar to the well-characterized embryonic stem cells. Alkaline phosphatase, cell surface (SSEA1, NANOG, and OCT4), and pluripotency markers were expressed at high levels in these cells. The iPSCs formed teratomas in vivo and supported full-term development of constructed porcine embryos by inter-species nuclear transplantation. Importantly, incubation with trichostatin A increased the efficiency of iPSCs generation by increasing the histone acetylation levels. Moreover, more iPSCs colonies appeared following cell passaging during colony picking, thus increasing the effectiveness of iPSCs selection. Thus, our work provides essential stem cell materials for the treatment of genetic diseases and proposes a novel strategy to enhance the efficiency of induced reprogramming.

Abstract
Trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, has been widely used to improve the cloning efficiency in several
species. This brings our attention to investigation of the effects of TSA on developmental potential of swamp buffalo cloned
embryos. Swamp buffalo cloned embryos were produced by electrical pulse fusion of male swamp buffalo fibroblasts with swamp
buffalo enucleated oocytes. After fusion, reconstructed oocytes were treated with 0, 25 or 50 nM TSA for 10 h. The results
showed that there was no significant difference in the rates of fusion (82–85%), cleavage (79–84%) and development to the
8-cell stage (59–65%) among treatment groups. The highest developmental rates to the morula and blastocyst stages of embryos
were found in the 25 nM TSA-treated group (42.7 and 30.1%, respectively). We also analyzed the DNA methylation level in the
satellite I region of donor cells and in in vitro fertilized (IVF) and cloned embryos using the bisulfite
DNA sequencing method. The results indicated that the DNA methylation levels in cloned embryos were significantly higher than
those of IVF embryos but approximately similar to those of donor cells. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the
methylation level among TSA-treated and untreated cloned embryos. Thus, TSA treatments at 25 nM for 10 h could enhance the
in vitro developmental potential of swamp buffalo cloned embryos, but no beneficial effect on the DNA
methylation level was observed.
