摘要: Successful early embryo development requires the correct reprogramming and configuration of gene networks by the timely and faithful execution of zygotic genome activation (ZGA). However, the regulatory principle of molecular elements and circuits fundamental to embryo development remains largely obscure. Here, we profiled the transcriptomes of single zygotes and blastomeres, obtained from in vitro fertilized (IVF) or parthenogenetically activated (PA) porcine early embryos (1- to 8-cell), focusing on the gene expression dynamics and regulatory networks associated with maternal-to-zygote transition (MZT) (mainly maternal RNA clearance and ZGA). We found that minor and major ZGAs occur at 1-cell and 4-cell stages for both IVF and PA embryos, respectively. Maternal RNAs gradually decay from 1- to 8-cell embryos. Top abundantly expressed genes (CDV3, PCNA, CDR1, YWHAE, DNMT1, IGF2BP3, ARMC1, BTG4, UHRF2 and gametocyte-specific factor 1-like) in both IVF and PA early embryos identified are of vital roles for embryo development. Differentially expressed genes within IVF groups are different from that within PA groups, indicating bi-parental and maternal-only embryos have specific sets of mRNAs distinctly decayed and activated. Pathways enriched from DEGs showed that RNA associated pathways (RNA binding, processing, transport and degradation) could be important. Moreover, mitochondrial RNAs are found to be actively transcribed, showing dynamic expression patterns, and for DNA/H3K4 methylation and transcription factors as well. Taken together, our findings provide an important resource to investigate further the epigenetic and genome regulation of MZT events in early embryos of pigs.
