(Submitter supplied) Mouse embryonic stem cells are heterogeneous and contain rare cells expressing transcripts normally upregulated in pre-implantation embryos, including the Zscan4 cluster and MuERVL endogenous retrovirus. Through single cell transcriptomics and genome-wide chromatin and DNA methylation analyses we uncover the dynamics of the regulation and epigenetic consequences of these transient cells. Transcriptional activation of MuERVL and Zscan4 coincided with a global increase in chromatin accessibility. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcription factor Zscan4 was newly discovered to be a marker of the intermediate state of 2-cell like cells . In addition, the WGCNA discovered a strong positive correlation between the expression of Zscan4 and that of MT2/MERVL .Hence, we examined the possibility for Zscan4 as an activator of MT2/MERVL.

(Submitter supplied) We analyzed the genome-wide DNA methylation in Zscan4 overexpressing ES cells. Zscan4 overexpression induced slight DNA demethylation in telomere and major satellite regions. Subsequent genome-wide analysis of non-repeated regions revealed the significant reduction of DNA methylation at Zscan4-dependent hyperacetylation sites. This result indicates that Zscan4 is not only a marker of the Zscan4+ state of ES cells, but also indispensable for the dramatic epigenetic modifications occurring in the Zscan4+ state.

(Submitter supplied) We analyzed the genome-wide chromatin states in Zscan4 positive ES cells (Em+) and Zscan4 negative ES cells (Em-) by using FACS-sorted MC1-ZE7 ES cells. H3K27 hyperacetylation and DNA demethylation were detected in heterochromatic regions of Em+ cells. These results suggested that the heterochromatin is activated in Zscan4 positive state.

(Submitter supplied) This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Repetitive sequences such as telomeres, centromeres, and retrotransposons are packed in permanently-condensed and transcriptionally-silenced heterochromatin, whose maintenance is critical for the genome stability. We have recently found that mouse ES cells occasionally go through a unique cell state marked by the transient expression of Zscan4, which plays a key role in long-term genome stability. more...

(Submitter supplied) The HELP tagging assay was performed on purified genomic DNAs. The protocol was modified for NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (NEB) from the original protocol4 (http://wasp.einstein.yu.edu/index.php/Protocol:HELP_tagging). Briefly, genomic DNA was digested by HpaII or MspI, the former only cutting at CCGG sequences where the central CG dinucleotide is unmethylated. AS and AE adapters were prepared by annealing two oligo DNAs separately. more...

(Submitter supplied) By using FACS-sorted MC1-ZE7 ES cells, we analyzed the genome-wide distribution of H3K27ac and DNA methylation in Zscan4 positive ES cells (Em+) and Zscan4 negative ES cells (Em-). H3K27 hyperacetylation and DNA demethylation were detected in heterochromatic regions of Em+ cells, but not Em- cells. These results suggested that the Zscan4 state takes "open" chromatin conformation in ES cells.

(Submitter supplied) Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) sporadically express preimplantation two-cell-stage (2C) transcripts, including MERVL endogenous retrovirus and Zscan4 cluster genes. Such 2C-like cells (2CLCs) can contribute to both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues when reintroduced into early embryos. We examined global nucleosome occupancy and gene expression in 2CLCs and identified miR-344 as the noncoding molecule that positively controls 2CLC potency. more...

(Submitter supplied) The molecular regulation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in mammals remains poorly understood. Primed mouse embryonic stem cells contain a rare subset of “2C-like” cells that are epigenetically and transcriptionally similar to the two cell embryo and thus represent an ideal system for studying ZGA transcription regulation. Recently, the transcription factor Dux, expressed exclusively in the minor wave of ZGA, was described to activate many downstream ZGA transcripts. more...

(Submitter supplied) A dramatic difference in global DNA methylation between male and female cells characterizes mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), unlike somatic cells. We analyzed DNA methylation changes during reprogramming of male and female somatic cells and in resulting induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). At an intermediate reprogramming stage, somatic and pluripotency enhancers are targeted for partial methylation and demethylation. more...
