Title |
Chromatin dynamics and genome-wide profiling of repetitive elements during early mammalian embryogenesis. |
Organism |
Mus musculus |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
|
Summary |
We have used repetitive elements, including retrotransposons, as model loci to address how and when heterochromatin forms during development. High throughput RNA-sequencing using a Nano-CAGE protocol throughout early embryogenesis revealed that the expression of repetitive elements is abundant in embryonic cells, highly dynamic and stage-specific, with most repetitive elements becoming repressed before implantation. Furthermore, we show that Line L1 elements and IAP retrotransposons become reactivated from both parental genomes in mouse embryos after fertilisation, indicating an open chromatin configuration at the beginning of development. Our data show that the reprogramming process that follows fertilisation is accompanied by a robust transcriptional activation of retrotransposons and suggests that expression of repetitive elements is initially regulated through an RNA-dependent mechanism in mammals.
