[PMID: 38950486 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2024.06.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
The potential of using long in vitro culture (LIVC) of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) from early antral follicles (EAFs) as an assisted reproductive technology in cattle has shown promising results. This study explored the feasibility of applying this technology to sheep as seasonal breeding animals. Ovaries from sheep were collected during both the breeding and non-breeding seasons. COCs were isolated from EAFs (350-450 μm) and cultured in TCM199 medium supplemented with 0.15 μg/mL Zn sulfate, 10-4IU/mL FSH, 10 ng/mL estradiol, 50 ng/mL testosterone, 50 ng/mL progesterone, and 5 μM Cilostamide. After five days of LIVC, the COCs were submitted to an in vitro maturation procedure. The results indicate successful in vitro development of COCs, evidenced by a significant increase in oocyte diameter (p < 0.000) and the preservation of gap junction communication between oocyte and cumulus cells. The gradual uncoupling was accompanied by a progressive chromatin transition from the non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) to the surrounded nucleolus (SN) (p < 0.000), coupled with a gradual decrease in global transcriptional activity and an increase in oocyte meiotic competence (p < 0.000). Maintenance of oocyte-cumulus investment architecture, viability, and metaphase II capability was significantly higher in COCs collected during the breeding season (p < 0.000), suggesting higher quality than those obtained during the non-breeding season. In conclusion, our study confirms LIVC feasibility in sheep, emphasizing increased effectiveness during the breeding season in isolating higher-quality COCs from EAFs. These findings can influence improving the LIVC system in mammals with seasonal reproduction.

Inhibition of neddylation disturbs zygotic genome activation through histone modification change and leads to early development arrest in mouse embryos.

Abstract
Post-translational modification and fine-tuned protein turnover are of great importance in mammalian early embryo development. Apart from the classic protein degradation promoting ubiquitination, new forms of ubiquitination-like modification are yet to be fully understood. Here, we demonstrate the function and potential mechanisms of one ubiquitination-like modification, neddylation, in mouse preimplantation embryo development. Treated with specific inhibitors, zygotes showed a dramatically decreased cleavage rate and almost all failed to enter the 4-cell stage. Transcriptional profiling showed genes were differentially expressed in pathways involving cell fate determination and cell differentiation, including several down-regulated zygotic genome activation (ZGA) marker genes. A decreased level of phosphorylated RNA polymerase II was detected, indicating impaired gene transcription inside the embryo cell nucleus. Proteomic data showed that differentially expressed proteins were enriched in histone modifications. We confirmed the lowered in methyltransferase (KMT2D) expression and a decrease in histone H3K4me3. At the same time, acetyltransferase (CBP/p300) reduced, while deacetylase (HDAC6) increased, resulting in an attenuation in histone H3K27ac. Additionally, we observed the up-regulation in YAP1 and RPL13 activities, indicating potential abnormalities in the downstream response of Hippo signaling pathway. In summary, we found that inhibition of neddylation induced epigenetic changes in early embryos and led to abnormalities in related downstream signaling pathways. This study sheds light upon new forms of ubiquitination regulating mammalian embryonic development and may contribute to further investigation of female infertility pathology.

Abstract
The nucleolus is the largest membraneless organelle and nuclear body in mammalian cells. It is primarily involved in the biogenesis of ribosomes, essential macromolecular machines responsible for synthesizing all proteins required by the cell. The assembly of ribosomes is evolutionarily conserved and accounts for the most energy-consuming cellular process needed for cell growth, proliferation, and homeostasis. Despite the significance of this process, the substructural mechanistic principles of the nucleolar function in preribosome biogenesis have only recently begun to emerge. Here, we provide a new perspective using advanced super-resolution microscopy and single-molecule MINFLUX nanoscopy on the mechanistic principles governing ribosomal RNA-seeded nucleolar formation and the resulting tripartite suborganization of the nucleolus driven, in part, by liquid-liquid phase separation. With recent advances in the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) structural analysis of ribosome biogenesis intermediates, we highlight the current understanding of the step-wise assembly of preribosomal subunits in the nucleolus. Finally, we address how novel anticancer drug candidates target early steps in ribosome biogenesis to exploit these essential dependencies for growth arrest and tumor control.

Abstract
Our understanding of how STAG proteins contribute to cell identity and disease have largely been studied from the perspective of chromosome topology and protein-coding gene expression. Here, we show that STAG1 is the dominant paralog in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and is required for pluripotency. mESCs express a wide diversity of naturally occurring Stag1 isoforms, resulting in complex regulation of both the levels of STAG paralogs and the proportion of their unique terminal ends. Skewing the balance of these isoforms impacts cell identity. We define a novel role for STAG1, in particular its N-terminus, in regulating repeat expression, nucleolar integrity, and repression of the two-cell (2C) state to maintain mESC identity. Our results move beyond protein-coding gene regulation via chromatin loops to new roles for STAG1 in nucleolar structure and function, and offer fresh perspectives on how STAG proteins, known to be cancer targets, contribute to cell identity and disease.

Abstract
During early mammalian embryonic development, fertilized one-cell embryos develop into pre-implantation blastocysts and subsequently establish three germ layers through gastrulation during post-implantation development. In recent years, stem cells have emerged as a powerful tool to study embryogenesis and gastrulation without the need for eggs, allowing for the generation of embryo-like structures known as synthetic embryos or embryoids. These in vitro models closely resemble early embryos in terms of morphology and gene expression and provide a faithful recapitulation of early pre- and post-implantation embryonic development. Synthetic embryos can be generated through a combinatorial culture of three blastocyst-derived stem cell types, such as embryonic stem cells, trophoblast stem cells, and extraembryonic endoderm cells, or totipotent-like stem cells alone. This review provides an overview of the progress and various approaches in studying in vitro embryogenesis and gastrulation in mice and humans using stem cells. Furthermore, recent findings and breakthroughs in synthetic embryos and gastruloids are outlined. Despite ethical considerations, synthetic embryo models hold promise for understanding mammalian (including humans) embryonic development and have potential implications for regenerative medicine and developmental research.

Abstract
Transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by RNA Polymerase (Pol) I in the nucleolus is necessary for ribosome biogenesis, which is intimately tied to cell growth and proliferation. Perturbation of ribosome biogenesis results in tissue specific disorders termed ribosomopathies in association with alterations in nucleolar structure. However, how rRNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis regulate nucleolar structure during normal development and in the pathogenesis of disease remains poorly understood. Here we show that homozygous null mutations in Pol I subunits required for rRNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis lead to preimplantation lethality. Moreover, we discovered that Polr1a-/-, Polr1b-/-, Polr1c-/- and Polr1d-/- mutants exhibit defects in the structure of their nucleoli, as evidenced by a decrease in number of nucleolar precursor bodies and a concomitant increase in nucleolar volume, which results in a single condensed nucleolus. Pharmacological inhibition of Pol I in preimplantation and midgestation embryos, as well as in hiPSCs, similarly results in a single condensed nucleolus or fragmented nucleoli. We find that when Pol I function and rRNA transcription is inhibited, the viscosity of the granular compartment of the nucleolus increases, which disrupts its phase separation properties, leading to a single condensed nucleolus. However, if a cell progresses through mitosis, the absence of rRNA transcription prevents reassembly of the nucleolus and manifests as fragmented nucleoli. Taken together, our data suggests that Pol I function and rRNA transcription are required for maintaining nucleolar structure and integrity during development and in the pathogenesis of disease.

Abstract
A large body of evidence indicates that environmental agents can induce alterations in DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles. Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) are radiations emitted by everyday devices, which have been classified as "possibly carcinogenic"; however, their biological effects are unclear. As aberrant DNAm of genomic repetitive elements (REs) may promote genomic instability, here, we sought to determine whether exposure to RF-EMFs could affect DNAm of different classes of REs, such as long interspersed nuclear elements-1 (LINE-1), Alu short interspersed nuclear elements and ribosomal repeats. To this purpose, we analysed DNAm profiles of cervical cancer and neuroblastoma cell lines (HeLa, BE(2)C and SH-SY5Y) exposed to 900 MHz GSM-modulated RF-EMF through an Illumina-based targeted deep bisulfite sequencing approach. Our findings showed that radiofrequency exposure did not affect the DNAm of Alu elements in any of the cell lines analysed. Conversely, it influenced DNAm of LINE-1 and ribosomal repeats in terms of both average profiles and organisation of methylated and unmethylated CpG sites, in different ways in each of the three cell lines studied.

Abstract
The nucleolus is a compartmentalized organelle in eukaryotic cells known to form during embryogenesis, yet how its layered architecture is transformed from homogenous precursor bodies is unclear, and any impacts of this formation on embryonic cell fate determination remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that lncRNA LoNA tethers granular-component-enriched NPM1 to dense-fibrillar-component-enriched FBL and drives the formation of compartmentalized nucleolus via facilitating liquid-liquid phase separation of those two nucleolar proteins. Phenotypically, LoNA-deficient embryos show developmental arrest at the two-cell (2C) stage. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that LoNA deficiency leads to nucleolar formation failure, resulting in mislocalization and acetylation of NPM1 in the nucleoplasm. Acetylated NPM1 recruits and guides PRC2 complex to 2C genes, where PRC2 complex trimethylates H3K27, leading to transcriptional repression of these genes. Collectively, our findings reveal that lncRNA is required for the establishment of nucleolar structure, and this process has an impact on two-cell embryonic development via 2C transcriptional activation.

Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGs), locally acting lipid signals, regulate female reproduction, including oocyte development. However, the cellular mechanisms of PG action remain largely unknown. One cellular target of PG signaling is the nucleolus. Indeed, across organisms, loss of PGs results in misshapen nucleoli, and changes in nucleolar morphology are indicative of altered nucleolar function. A key role of the nucleolus is to transcribe ribosomal RNA (rRNA) to drive ribosomal biogenesis. Here we take advantage of the robust, in vivo system of Drosophila oogenesis to define the roles and downstream mechanisms whereby PGs regulate the nucleolus. We find that the altered nucleolar morphology due to PG loss is not due to reduced rRNA transcription. Instead, loss of PGs results in increased rRNA transcription and overall protein translation. PGs modulate these nucleolar functions by tightly regulating nuclear actin, which is enriched in the nucleolus. Specifically, we find that loss of PGs results in both increased nucleolar actin and changes in its form. Increasing nuclear actin, by either genetic loss of PG signaling or overexpression of nuclear targeted actin (NLS-actin), results in a round nucleolar morphology. Further, loss of PGs, overexpression of NLS-actin or loss of Exportin 6, all manipulations that increase nuclear actin levels, results in increased RNAPI-dependent transcription. Together these data reveal PGs carefully balance the level and forms of nuclear actin to control the level of nucleolar activity required for producing fertilization competent oocytes.

Abstract
Purpose To study the relationship between clinical outcomes after assisted reproduction and the migration speed of nucleolus precursor bodies (NPBs) in male and female pronuclei (mPN; fPN). Methods NPB migration speed, embryo ploidy status, and live birth (LB) were retrospectively analyzed in IVF-derived zygotes. The central coordinates of the mPN, fPN, and NPBs were noted at multiple timepoints. The migration distance of NPBs between two sequential images was measured to calculate NPB migration speed. Results The NPB migration speeds in mPN and fPN were significantly faster in euploid zygotes than in aneuploid zygotes. In multivariate logistic analysis, NPB migration speed in mPN and the female age were associated with euploidy. The NPB migration speeds in mPN and fPN were also significantly faster in zygotes that led to LB than in zygotes that led to no pregnancy. In a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of LB by NPB migration speed in mPN, the cut-off value was 3.74 μm/h (AUC: 0.825, 95%CI: 0.688-0.963). When the zygotes were categorized by this cut-off value, there were significantly more LBs in zygotes with migration speed ≥ the cut-off (78.9% vs. 21.1%). Conclusions Zygotes with quickly migrating NPBs demonstrated the developmental potential to become a baby.

Abstract
Mammalian genomes are organized into three-dimensional DNA structures called A/B compartments that are associated with transcriptional activity/inactivity. However, whether these structures are simply correlated with gene expression or are permissive/impermissible to transcription has remained largely unknown because we lack methods to measure DNA organization and transcription simultaneously. Recently, we developed RNA & DNA (RD)-SPRITE, which enables genome-wide measurements of the spatial organization of RNA and DNA. Here we show that RD-SPRITE measures genomic structure surrounding nascent pre-mRNAs and maps their spatial contacts. We find that transcription occurs within B compartments-with multiple active genes simultaneously colocalizing within the same B compartment-and at genes proximal to nucleoli. These results suggest that localization near or within nuclear structures thought to be inactive does not preclude transcription and that active transcription can occur throughout the nucleus. In general, we anticipate RD-SPRITE will be a powerful tool for exploring relationships between genome structure and transcription.

Abstract
In brief Several factors affect the reprogramming efficiency of nuclear transfer embryos. This study shows that inhibiting 18S rRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL5 during nuclear transfer can improve the developmental rate of nuclear transfer embryos. Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most important epigenetic modifications in eukaryotic RNAs, which regulates development and diseases. It is identified by several proteins. Methyltransferase-like 5 (METTL5), an enzyme that methylates 18S rRNA m6A, controls the translation of proteins and regulates pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. However, the functions of METTL5 in embryonic development have not been explored. Here, we found that Mettl5 was upregulated in somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos compared with normal fertilized embryos. Therefore, we hypothesized that METTL5 knockdown during the early stage of SCNT would improve the developmental rate of SCNT embryos. Notably, injection of Mettl5 siRNA (si-Mettl5) into enucleated oocytes during nuclear transfer increased the rate of development and the number of cells in blastocysts. Moreover, inhibition of METTL5 reduced the activity of phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6, decreased the levels of the repressive histone modification H3K27me3 and increased the expression of activating histone modifications H3K27ac and H3K4me3 and mRNA levels of some 2-cell-specific genes. These results expand our understanding of the role of METTL5 in early embryonic development and provide a novel idea for improving the efficiency of nuclear transfer cloning.

Abstract
After fertilization, the zygote genome undergoes dramatic structural reorganization to ensure the establishment of totipotency, and then the totipotent potential of the zygote or 2-cell-stage embryo progressively declines. However, cellular potency is not always a one-way street. Specifically, a small number of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) occasionally overcome epigenetic barriers and transiently convert to a totipotent status. Despite the significant potential of the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique, the establishment of totipotency is often deficient in cloned embryos. Because of this phenomenon, the question arises as to whether strategies attempting to induce 2-cell-like cells (2CLCs) can provide practical applications, such as reprogramming of somatic cell nuclei. Inspired by strategies that convert ESCs into 2CLCs, we hypothesized that there will be a similar pathway by which cloned embryos can establish totipotent status after SCNT. In this review, we provide a snapshot of the practical strategies utilized to induce 2CLCs during investigations of the development of cloned embryos. The 2CLCs have similar transcriptome and chromatin features to that of 2-cell-stage embryos, and we propose that 2CLCs, already a valuable in vitro model for dissecting totipotency, will provide new opportunities to improve SCNT efficiency.

Abstract
Each cell in the human body has a distinguishable fate. Pluripotent stem cells are challenged with a myriad of lineage differentiation options. Defects are more likely to be fatal to stem cells than to somatic cells due to the broad impact of the former on early development. Hence, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms that determine the fate of stem cells is needed. The mechanisms by which human pluripotent stem cells, although not fully equipped with complex chromatin structures or epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, accurately control gene expression and are important to the stem cell field. In this review, we examine the events driving pluripotent stem cell fate and the underlying changes in gene expression during early development. In addition, we highlight the role played by the epitranscriptome in the regulation of gene expression that is necessary for each fate-related event.

Abstract
Nucleoli are the major cellular compartments for the synthesis of rRNA and assembly of ribosomes, the macromolecular complexes responsible for protein synthesis. Given the abundance of ribosomes, there is a huge demand for rRNA, which indeed constitutes ∼80% of the mass of RNA in the cell. Thus, nucleoli are characterized by extensive transcription of multiple rDNA loci by the dedicated polymerase, RNA polymerase (Pol) I. However, in addition to producing rRNAs, there is considerable additional transcription in nucleoli by RNA Pol II as well as Pol I, producing multiple noncoding (nc) and, in one instance, coding RNAs. In this review, we discuss important features of these transcripts, which often appear species-specific and reflect transcription antisense to pre-rRNA by Pol II and within the intergenic spacer regions on both strands by both Pol I and Pol II. We discuss how expression of these RNAs is regulated, their propensity to form cotranscriptional R loops, and how they modulate rRNA transcription, nucleolar structure, and cellular homeostasis more generally.

Abstract
The ubiquitin ligase SCFFBXO38 controls centromeric chromatin by promoting the degradation of the ZXDB protein. To determine the importance of this pathway during development, Fbxo38-deficient mice were generated. The loss of FBXO38 resulted in growth retardation affecting several organs, including the male reproductive system. A detailed analysis of the mutant testes revealed pathological changes in the seminiferous tubules, accompanied by a significant decrease in sperm production and reduced fertility. In adult testes, FBXO38 was specifically expressed in Sertoli cells, a somatic population essential for spermatogenesis initiation and progression. Sertoli cells lacking FBXO38 exhibited stabilized ZXDB protein and upregulated centromeric chromatin. Furthermore, the gene expression profile revealed that the absence of FBXO38 led to a defect in Sertoli cell maturation, specifically characterized by dysregulation in genes controlling retinoic acid metabolism and intercellular communication. Consequently, we documented significant changes in their ability to initiate spermatogonial differentiation. In conclusion, we show that FBXO38 acts as a Sertoli cell maturation factor, affecting the Sertoli cell transcription program, centromere integrity, and, subsequently, the ability to control spermatogenesis.

Abstract
PETER PAN (PPAN), located to nucleoli and mitochondria, is a member of the Brix domain protein family, involved in rRNA processing through its rRNA binding motif and mitochondrial apoptosis by protecting mitochondria structure and suppressing basal autophagic flux. Ppan is important for cell proliferation and viability, and mutation of Ppan in Drosophila caused larval lethality and oogenesis failure. Yet, its role in mammalian reproduction remains unclear. In this study, we explored the function of Ppan in oocyte maturation and early embryogenesis using conditional knockout mouse model. Deficiency of maternal Ppan significantly downregulated the expression level of 5.8S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and 28S rRNA, though it had no effect on oocyte maturation or preimplantation embryo development. However, depletion of both maternal and zygotic Ppan blocked embryonic development at morula stage. Similar phenotype was obtained when only zygotic Ppan was depleted. We further identified no DNA binding activity of PPAN in mouse embryonic stem cells, and depletion of Ppan had minimum impact on transcriptome but decreased expression of 5.8S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and 28S rRNA nevertheless. Our findings demonstrate that Ppan is indispensable for early embryogenesis in mice.

Abstract
Control of ribosome biogenesis is a critical aspect of the regulation of cell metabolism. As ribosomal genes (rDNA) are organized in repeated clusters on chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22, trisomy of chromosome 21 confers an excess of rDNA copies to persons with Down syndrome (DS). Previous studies showed an alteration of ribosome biogenesis in children with DS, but the epigenetic regulation of rDNA genes has not been investigated in adults with DS so far. In this study, we used a targeted deep-sequencing approach to measure DNA methylation (DNAm) of rDNA units in whole blood from 69 adults with DS and 95 euploid controls. We further evaluated the expression of the precursor of ribosomal RNAs (RNA45S) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from the same subjects. We found that the rDNA promoter tends to be hypermethylated in DS concerning the control group. The analysis of epihaplotypes (the combination of methylated and unmethylated CpG sites along the same DNA molecule) showed a significantly lower intra-individual diversity in the DS group, which at the same time was characterized by a higher interindividual variability. Finally, we showed that RNA45S expression is lower in adults with DS. Collectively, our results suggest a rearrangement of the epigenetic profile of rDNA in DS, possibly to compensate for the extranumerary rDNA copies. Future studies should assess whether the regulation of ribosome biogenesis can contribute to the pathogenesis of DS and explain the clinical heterogeneity characteristic of the syndrome.

Abstract
Recent investigations on the non-protein-coding transcriptome of human cells have revealed previously hidden layers of gene regulation relying on regulatory non-protein-coding (nc) RNAs, including the widespread ncRNA-dependent regulation of epigenetic chromatin states and of mRNA translation and stability. However, despite its centrality, the epigenetic regulation of ncRNA genes has received relatively little attention. In this mini-review, we attempt to provide a synthetic account of recent literature suggesting an unexpected complexity in chromatin-dependent regulation of ncRNA gene transcription by the three human nuclear RNA polymerases. Emerging common features, like the heterogeneity of chromatin states within ncRNA multigene families and their influence on 3D genome organization, point to unexplored issues whose investigation could lead to a better understanding of the whole human epigenomic network.

Abstract
An age-dependent increase in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) methylation has been observed across a broad spectrum of somatic tissues and the male mammalian germline. Bisulfite pyrosequencing (BPS) was used to determine the methylation levels of the rDNA core promoter and the rDNA upstream control element (UCE) along with two oppositely genomically imprinted control genes (PEG3 and GTL2) in individual human germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes from 90 consenting women undergoing fertility treatment because of male infertility. Apart from a few (4%) oocytes with single imprinting defects (in either PEG3 or GTL2), the analyzed GV oocytes displayed correct imprinting patterns. In 95 GV oocytes from 42 younger women (26-32 years), the mean methylation levels of the rDNA core promoter and UCE were 7.4±4.0% and 9.3±6.1%, respectively. In 79 GV oocytes from 48 older women (33-39 years), methylation levels increased to 9.3±5.3% (P = 0.014) and 11.6±7.4% (P = 0.039), respectively. An age-related increase in oocyte rDNA methylation was also observed in 123 mouse GV oocytes from 29 4-16-months-old animals. Similar to the continuously mitotically dividing male germline, ovarian aging is associated with a gain of rDNA methylation in meiotically arrested oocytes. Oocytes from the same woman can exhibit varying rDNA methylation levels and, by extrapolation, different epigenetic ages.

[PMID: 35143761 DOI: 10.1016/j.stem.2022.01.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Totipotent cells have more robust developmental potency than any other cell types, giving rise to both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. Stable totipotent cell cultures and deciphering the principles of totipotency regulation would be invaluable to understand cell plasticity and lineage segregation in early development. Our approach of remodeling the pericentromeric heterochromatin and re-establishing the totipotency-specific broad H3K4me3 domains promotes the pluri-to-totipotency transition. Our protocol establishes a closer match of mouse 2-cell (2C) embryos than any other 2C-like cells. These totipotent-like stem cells (TLSCs) are stable in culture and possess unique molecular features of the mouse 2C embryo. Functionally, TLSCs are competent for germline transmission and give rise to both embryonic and extraembryonic lineages at high frequency. Therefore, TLSCs represent a highly valuable cell type for studies of totipotency and embryology.

Abstract
It is now approximately 25 years since the sheep Dolly, the first cloned mammal where the somatic cell nucleus from an adult donor was used for transfer, was born. So far, somatic cell
nucleus transfer, where G1-phase nuclei are transferred into cytoplasts obtained by enucleation of mature metaphase II (MII) oocytes followed by the activation of the reconstructed cells, is
the most efficient approach to reprogram/remodel the differentiated nucleus. In general, in an enucleated oocyte (cytoplast), the nuclear envelope (NE, membrane) of an injected somatic cell
nucleus breaks down and chromosomes condense. This condensation phase is followed, after subsequent activation, by chromatin decondensation and formation of a pseudo-pronucleus (i) whose
morphology should resemble the natural postfertilization pronuclei (PNs). Thus, the volume of the transferred nuclei increases considerably by incorporating the content released from the
germinal vesicles (GVs). In parallel, the transferred nucleus genes must be reset and function similarly as the relevant genes in normal embryo reprogramming. This, among others, covers the
relevant epigenetic modifications and the appropriate organization of chromatin in pseudo-pronuclei. While reprogramming in SCNT is often discussed, the remodeling of transferred nuclei is
much less studied, particularly in the context of the developmental potential of SCNT embryos. It is now evident that correct reprogramming mirrors appropriate remodeling. At the same time,
it is widely accepted that the process of rebuilding the nucleus following SCNT is instrumental to the overall success of this procedure. Thus, in our contribution, we will mostly focus on
the remodeling of transferred nuclei. In particular, we discuss the oocyte organelles that are essential for the development of SCNT embryos.

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
The regulation of mRNA translation, both globally and at the level of individual transcripts, plays a central role in the development and function of germ cells across species. Genetic studies using flies, worms, zebrafish and mice have highlighted the importance of specific RNA binding proteins in driving various aspects of germ cell formation and function. Many of these mRNA binding proteins, including Pumilio, Nanos, Vasa and Dazl have been conserved through evolution, specifically mark germ cells, and carry out similar functions across species. These proteins typically influence mRNA translation by binding to specific elements within the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of target messages. Emerging evidence indicates that the global regulation of mRNA translation also plays an important role in germ cell development. For example, ribosome biogenesis is often regulated in a stage specific manner during gametogenesis. Moreover, oocytes need to produce and store a sufficient number of ribosomes to support the development of the early embryo until the initiation of zygotic transcription. Accumulating evidence indicates that disruption of mRNA translation regulatory mechanisms likely contributes to infertility and reproductive aging in humans. These findings highlight the importance of gaining further insights into the mechanisms that control mRNA translation within germ cells. Future work in this area will likely have important impacts beyond germ cell biology.

Abstract
The nucleolus is the organelle for ribosome biogenesis and sensing various types of stress. However, its role in regulating stem cell fate remains unclear. Here, we present evidence that nucleolar stress induced by interfering rRNA biogenesis can drive the 2-cell stage embryo-like (2C-like) program and induce an expanded 2C-like cell population in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells. Mechanistically, nucleolar integrity maintains normal liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the nucleolus and the formation of peri-nucleolar heterochromatin (PNH). Upon defects in rRNA biogenesis, the natural state of nucleolus LLPS is disrupted, causing dissociation of the NCL/TRIM28 complex from PNH and changes in epigenetic state and reorganization of the 3D structure of PNH, which leads to release of Dux, a 2C program transcription factor, from PNH to activate a 2C-like program. Correspondingly, embryos with rRNA biogenesis defect are unable to develop from 2-cell (2C) to 4-cell embryos, with delayed repression of 2C/ERV genes and a transcriptome skewed toward earlier cleavage embryo signatures. Our results highlight that rRNA-mediated nucleolar integrity and 3D structure reshaping of the PNH compartment regulates the fate transition of mES cells to 2C-like cells, and that rRNA biogenesis is a critical regulator during the 2-cell to 4-cell transition of murine pre-implantation embryo development.

Abstract
The regulation of gene expression has been studied for decades, but the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. As well as local and distant regulation, there are specific mechanisms of regulation during development and physiological modulation of gene activity in differentiated cells. Current research strongly supports a role for the 3D chromosomal structure in the regulation of gene expression. However, it is not known whether the genome structure reflects the formation of active or repressed chromosomal domains or if these structures play a primary role in the regulation of gene expression. During early development, heterochromatinization of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is coupled with silencing or activation of the expression of different sets of genes. Although the mechanisms behind this type of regulation are not known, rDNA clusters shape frequent inter-chromosomal contacts with a large group of genes controlling development. This review aims to shed light on the involvement of clusters of ribosomal genes in the global regulation of gene expression. We also discuss the possible role of RNA-mediated and phase-separation mechanisms in the global regulation of gene expression by nucleoli.

Abstract
Ribosomal transcription constitutes the major energy consuming process in cells and is regulated in response to proliferation, differentiation and metabolic conditions by several signalling pathways. These act on the transcription machinery but also on chromatin factors and ncRNA. The many ribosomal gene repeats are organised in a number of different chromatin states; active, poised, pseudosilent and repressed gene repeats. Some of these chromatin states are unique to the 47rRNA gene repeat and do not occur at other locations in the genome, such as the active state organised with the HMG protein UBF whereas other chromatin state are nucleosomal, harbouring both active and inactive histone marks. The number of repeats in a certain state varies on developmental stage and cell type; embryonic cells have more rRNA gene repeats organised in an open chromatin state, which is replaced by heterochromatin during differentiation, establishing different states depending on cell type. The 47S rRNA gene transcription is regulated in different ways depending on stimulus and chromatin state of individual gene repeats. This review will discuss the present knowledge about factors involved, such as chromatin remodelling factors NuRD, NoRC, CSB, B-WICH, histone modifying enzymes and histone chaperones, in altering gene expression and switching chromatin states in proliferation, differentiation, metabolic changes and stress responses.

Migration speed of nucleolus precursor bodies in human male pronuclei: a novel parameter for predicting live birth. J Assist Reprod Genet 2021; 38:1725-1736.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the relationship between the migration speed of nucleolus precursor bodies (NPBs) in male and female pronuclei (mPN; fPN) and human embryo development during assisted reproduction. METHODS The migration speed of 263 NPBs from 47 zygotes was quantitated, and embryonic development was observed until the blastocyst stage. The central coordinates of mPN, fPN, and NPBs were noted at multiple timepoints. Then, the distance traveled by the NPBs between two sequential images was measured, and migration speed was calculated. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between NPB migration speed and ploidy status (N = 33) or live birth/ongoing pregnancy (LB/OP) (N = 60) after assisted reproduction. RESULTS The NPB migration speed in both mPN and fPN was significantly faster in the zygotes that developed into blastocysts (N = 25) than that in the zygotes that arrested (N = 22). The timing of blastulation was negatively correlated with NPB migration speed in the mPN. Faster NPB migration was significantly correlated with LB/OP. In multivariate logistic analysis, NPB migration speed in the mPN was the only morphokinetic parameter associated with LB/OP. In a receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis of LB/OP by the NPB migration speed in the mPN, the cut-off value was 4.56 μm/h. When this cut-off value was applied to blastocysts with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, 100% of the blastocysts faster than or equal to the cut-off value were euploid. CONCLUSION The NPBs migrated faster in zygotes having the potential to develop into a blastocyst, and eventually into a baby. This predictor could be an attractive marker for non-invasive embryo selection.

Abstract
The nucleolus is the largest compartment of the eukaryotic cell's nucleus. It acts as a ribosome factory, thereby sustaining the translation machinery. The nucleolus is also the subnuclear compartment with the highest transcriptional activity in the cell, where hundreds of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes transcribe the overwhelming majority of RNAs. The structure and composition of the nucleolus change according to the developmental state. For instance, in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), rRNA genes display a hyperactive transcriptional state and open chromatin structure compared with differentiated cells. Increasing evidence indicates that the role of the nucleolus and rRNA genes might go beyond the control of ribosome biogenesis. One such role is linked to the genome architecture, since repressive domains are often located close to the nucleolus. This review highlights recent findings describing how the nucleolus is regulated in ESCs and its role in regulating ribosome biogenesis and genome organization for the maintenance of stem cell identity.

Abstract
Ribosome biogenesis takes place mainly in the nucleolus, a nuclear, non-membrane bound organelle forming around the gene arrays encoding ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Nucleolar activity comprises synthesis, processing and maturation of rRNAs, followed by their assembly with ribosomal proteins into pre-ribosomal particles. The final formation of translation-competent ribosomes in the cytoplasm is the prerequisite for protein synthesis, which is the most energy-consuming cellular process. In adult stem cells, ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis determine the switch between the quiescent and the activated state, but also decide whether activated stem cells self-renew or differentiate. Given this major impact on cellular function, it seems likely that perturbations of the circuitry between nucleolar activity and translation lead to ageing-related stem cell deterioration. This review provides an overview of how ribosome biogenesis and translation govern stem cell function and discusses the resultant implication in stem cell ageing.

Abstract
Somatic cells may be reprogrammed to pluripotent state by ectopic expression of certain transcription factors; namely, OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms are not adequately understood, especially for human embryonic development. Studies during the last five years implicated importance of OCT4 in human zygotic genome activation (ZGA), patterns of OCT4 protein folding and role of specialized sequences in binding to DNA for modulation of gene expression during development. Epigenetic modulation of OCT4 gene and post translational modifications of OCT4 protein activity in the context of multiple cancers are important issues. A consensus is emerging that chromatin organization and epigenetic landscape play crucial roles for the interactions of transcription factors, including OCT4 with the promoters and/or regulatory sequences of genes associated with human embryonic development (ZGA through lineage specification) and that when the epigenome niche is deregulated OCT4 helps in cancer progression, and how OCT4 silencing in somatic cells of adult organisms may impact ageing.

FASEB J 2019; 34:2715-2729. [PMID: 31908012 DOI: 10.1096/fj.201902623r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2019] [Revised: 12/05/2019] [Accepted: 12/06/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The maternal nucleolus plays an indispensable role in zygotic genome activation (ZGA) and early embryonic development in mice. During oocyte-to-embryo transition, the nucleolus is subject to substantial transformation. Despite the primary role of the nucleolus is ribosome biogenesis, accumulating evidence has uncovered its functions in various other cell processes. However, the regulation of nucleolar maturation and ribosome biogenesis and the molecules involved remain unclear during early embryonic development. In this study, we observed that nucleolar protein 2 (NOP2) is restrictedly localized within the nucleolus, first detected in the late two-cell embryos, and increases to a peak level at the eight-cell stage in mice. RNAi-mediated NOP2 depletion leads to a developmental arrest during the morula-to-blastocyst transition. RNA-seq analyses reveal that 208 genes are differentially expressed, including multiple lineage-specific genes and several genes encoding ribosome proteins. Indeed, we observe a failure of the first lineage specification with reduced TEA domain transcription factor 4(TEAD4) (trophectoderm-specific), tir na nog (NANOG), and kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) (inner cell mass-specific). Importantly, by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), we noted a decrease in the ratio of the nucleolus size and an increase in the ratio of the size of the nucleolus precursor body, suggesting the nucleolar maturation is disrupted. Moreover, both qPCR and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) data showcase a significant decrease in the abundance of ribosome RNAs. Similarly, NOP2 depletion causes reduced developmental potential and decreased rRNA level in bovine early embryos, suggesting a functional conservation of NOP2 in mammals. Taken together, these results suggest that NOP2 is required for mammalian preimplantation development, presumably by regulating nucleolar maturation and ribosome biogenesis.
