Fecha de publicación: | 2018 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Theriogenology 110(1): 79-85 (2018) | Resumen: | This study examines the effects of the histone deacetylation inhibitor scriptaid (SCR) on preimplantation embryo development in vitro and on imprinting gene expression. We hypothesized that SCR would increase histone acetylation levels, enhance embryonic genome activation, and regulate imprinting and Xchromosome inactivation (XCI) in in vitro produced bovine embryos. Zygotes were cultured in vitro in presence or absence of SCR added at different time points. We assessed cleavage and blastocyst rates as well as the quality of blastocysts through: (i) differential cell counts; (ii) survival after vitrification/ thawing and (iii) gene expression analysis eincluding imprinted genes. Blastocyst yields were not different in the control and experimental groups. While no significant differences were observed between groups in total cell or trophectoderm cell numbers, SCR treatment reduced the number of inner cell mass cells and improved the survival of vitrified embryos. Further, genes involved in the mechanism of paternal imprinting (GRB10, GNAS, XIST) were downregulated in presence of SCR compared with controls. These observations suggest SCR prevents deacetylation of paternally imprinting control regions and/or their up-regulation, as these events took place in controls. Whether or not such reductions in XIST and imprinting gene expression are beneficial for post implantation development remains to be clarified.This study examines the effects of the histone deacetylation inhibitor scriptaid (SCR) on preimplantation embryo development in vitro and on imprinting gene expression.
