The present study was carried with the use of reprogramming enhancers trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dc), a DNA methyl transferase inhibitor on hand-made cloned (HMC) embryos. It was found that TSA treatment (50 nM) and 5-aza-dc (25nM) for 24 hours following oocyte activation, improved in vitro HMC embryo development. Cleavage percentage observed on Day 2, in case of TSA treated HMC embryos was found to be significantly (p<0.05…

Effects of Trichostatin A on In vitro Development of Porcine Embryos Derived from Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer

Although the gene expression patterns between cloned blastocysts and their in vivo counterparts were different regardless of TSA treatment, it appears that several genes in NT blastocyst after TSA treatment showed a slight tendency toward expression patterns of in vivo Blastocysts.

Increased pre-implantation development of cloned bovine embryos treated with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine and trichostatin A.

Treating Cloned Embryos, But Not Donor Cells, with 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine Enhances the Developmental Competence of Porcine Cloned Embryos

TreatingCloned embryos, but not donor cells, with 5-aza-dC enhanced the developmental competence of porcine cloned embryos by promotion of pseudo-pronucleus formation and improvement of pluripotent gene expression.

High developmental capability of porcine cloned embryos following trichostatin A-dependent epigenomic transformation during in vitro maturation of oocytes pre-exposed to R-roscovitine.

The use of trichostatin A (TSA)-mediated epigenetic modulation of in vitro-maturing porcine nuclear recipient oocytes that had been pre-treated with R-roscovitine resulted in significantly increased blastocyst formation rate among the cloned embryos compared to the R-RSCVand TSA-unexposed group.

The effects of 5-aza-2'- deoxycytidine and trichostatin A on gene expression and DNA methylation status in cloned bovine blastocysts.

It is likely that TSA may act synergistically with 5-aza-dC to exert such modifications in gene expression and DNA methylation, subsequently enhancing developmental potential (in vitro and full-term) of treated cloned embryos.

Effects of 5-aza-2’-deoxyctidine on the development of porcine parthenogenetic and nuclear transfer embryos

Treatment of fetal fibro-blast cells with relatively low concentrations of 5-aza-dC for short exposure times improves subsequent blastocyst development of porcine cloned embryos.

Treatment of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) donor cells with trichostatin A and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine alters their growth characteristics, gene expression and epigenetic status and improves the in vitro developmental competence, quality and epigenetic status of cloned embryos.

Results show that treatment of buffalo donor cells with TSA and 5azadC improved developmental competence and quality of cloned embryos and altered their epigenetic status and gene expression, and that these beneficial effects were mediated by a reduction in DNA and histone methylation and an increase in histone acetylation in donor cells.

Mouse embryos undergo genome-wide methylation reprogramming by demethylation in early preimplantation development, followed by remethylation thereafter, and it is shown that epigenetic reprograming occurs aberrantly in most cloned embryos.

Pluripotency Associated Genes Are Reactivated by Chromatin‐Modifying Agents in Neurosphere Cells

A model is proposed in which TSA/AzaC, by removal of epigenetic inhibition, induces the reactivation of several stem cell and pluripotency‐associated genes, and their coordinate expression enlarges the differentiation potential of somatic precursor cells.
