Abstract
Previous studies have revealed that transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in biparental (BI) early human embryogenesis. However, the contribution of TFs during early uniparental embryo development is still largely unknown. Here we systematically studied the expression profiles of transcription factors in early embryonic development and revealed the dynamic changes of TFs in human biparental and uniparental embryogenesis by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). In general, the TF expression model of uniparental embryos showed a high degree of conformity with biparental embryos. The detailed network analysis of three different types of embryos identified that 10 out of 17 hub TFs were shared or specifically owned, such as ZNF480, ZNF581, PHB, and POU5F1, were four shared TFs, ZFN534, GTF3A, ZNF771, TEAD4, and LIN28A, were androgenic (AG) specific TFs, and ZFP42 was the only one parthenogenetic (PG) specific TF. All the four shared TFs were validated using human embryonic stem cell (hESC) differentiation experiments; most of their target genes are responsible for stem cell maintenance and differentiation. We also found that Zf-C2H2, HMG, and MYB were three dominant transcription factor families that appeared in early embryogenesis. Altogether, our work provides a comprehensive regulatory framework and better understanding of TF function in human biparental and uniparental embryogenesis.

Abstract
Hydatidiform mole is classified into partial and complete subtypes according to histopathological and genetic criteria. Distinction between the two by histology alone may be difficult. Genetically, a complete mole is diploid without maternal contribution, whereas a partial mole is triploid with a maternal chromosome complement. To assess the accuracy of histological diagnosis by correlating with the genetic composition, we performed fluorescent microsatellite genotyping to detect the presence or absence of maternal genome in a hydatidiform mole and carried out chromosome in situ hybridization to analyze the ploidy. For genotyping analysis, paraffin sections of 36 complete and nine partial moles, diagnosed according to histological criteria, were microdissected and DNA was separately extracted from the decidua and molar villi. Six pairs of primers that flank polymorphic microsatellite repeat sequences on five different chromosomes were used. In all, 34 cases, including 31 complete moles and three partial moles diagnosed histologically, showed no maternal contribution by genotyping; thus these could be genetically considered as complete mole. The other 11 cases (five complete moles and six partial moles previously diagnosed by histology) showed the presence of maternal contribution and were genetically diagnosed as partial moles. The genotyping results correlated with histological evaluation in 88% (37/45) of hydatidiform mole and correlated with chromosome in situ hybridization findings in all the cases, that is, triploid hydatidiform moles had maternal-derived alleles, while diploid hydatidiform moles were purely androgenetic. Compared with genetic diagnosis, histological evaluation was more reliable for the diagnosis of a complete mole (91%, 31/34) than that of a partial mole (55%, 6/11) (P=0.0033). Seven complete moles and three partial moles diagnosed genetically developed gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. To conclude, genotyping and chromosome in situ hybridization can provide reliable adjunct to histology for the classification of a hydatidiform mole, especially in cases with difficult histological evaluation and early gestational age. As a partial mole still carries a risk of developing gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, follow-up is considered necessary for both complete and partial moles.
