摘要

Covalent modifications to cytosine provide importantepigenetic information required for normal embryodevelopment. 5’methylcytosine (5mC) has received mostexperimental attention while 5’hydroxymethyl cytosine(5hmC) has assumed recent prominence. Extant goldstandardmethods of analysis of do not discriminatebetween 5mC and 5hmC hence most published methylomeshave limits to their interpretation. Immunolocalizationallows discrimination between the range ofmodifications, provides a genome-wide level of analysis,allows differential assessment of nuclear localisation,and is compatible with the limited DNA available withinthe early embryo. Using newly established methodologyfor full retrieval of these two antigens [1] we have reassessedthe patterns of expression of 5mC and 5hmCacross preimplantation development. Both the male andthe female pronuclei show extensive and relatively stablestaining of both 5mC and 5hmC across all stages ofzygotic maturation. The analysis does not provide supportfor the oft claimed active global demethylation ofthe paternally-derived genome relative to that of thematernal-derived genome, and also provide no supportfor a role of 5hmC as an intermediate in such an activedemethylation step. During the cleavage stage of development(2-cell to 8-cell) mC became progressively moreassociated with heterochromatic regions of the nucleuswhile 5hmC staining was the dominant modification ineuchromatin. By the morulae stage several cells with innerpositions in the embryo showed some reduced euchromaticstaining of 5hmC and 5mC. Relative to trophectodermalcells, the pluripotent inner cell mass of blastocysts show amarked overall reduction in euchromatic of both 5hmCand 5mC staining, and a progressive reduction of mC stainingfrom heterochromatic foci. The distinctively differentlandscapes of 5mC and 5hmC on the embryonic genomeindicate that these modifications may provide different epigeneticinformation to the early embryo, and shows thatdifferential changes in this landscape define the first differentiationevents in the early embryo. Current claims ofextensive remodelling of CpG in the zygote seem to belargely caused by dynamic changes in the conformation ofchromatin in early development leading to extensive antigenicmasking of these modifications. When this maskingis removed a much greater level of stability of these modificationsat a global level becomes evident.
