Title Epigenetic reprogramming enables the primordial germ cell-to-gonocyte transition
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Methylation profiling by high throughput sequencing
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Gametes are highly specialised cells that can give rise to the next generation through their ability to generate a totipotent zygote. In mouse, germ cells are first specified in the developing embryo as primordial germ cells (PGCs) starting around embryonic day (E) 6.25. Following subsequent migration into the developing gonad, PGCs undergo a wave of extensive epigenetic reprogramming at E10.5/E11.5, including genome-wide loss of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). The underlying molecular mechanisms of this process have remained enigmatic leading to our inability to recapitulate this step of germline development in vitro. Using an integrative approach, we show that this complex reprogramming process involves the coordinated interplay between promoter sequence characteristics, DNA (de)methylation, Polycomb (PRC1) complex and both DNA demethylation-dependent and -independent functions of Tet1 to enable the activation of a critical set of germline reprogramming responsive (GRR) genes involved in gamete generation and meiosis. Our results also unexpectedly reveal a role for Tet1 in safeguarding but not driving DNA demethylation in gonadal PGCs. Collectively, our work uncovers a fundamental biological role for gonadal germline reprogramming and identifies the epigenetic principles of the PGC-to-gonocyte transition that will be instructive towards recapitulating complete gametogenesis in vitro.
