- Abstract
- Abnormalities in gene expression that negatively affect embryonic development are frequently observed in cloned embryos generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). In the present study, we successfully produced a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP)-conjugated with coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) protein from mammalian cells and confirmed introduction into donor somatic cells and cloned 8-cell embryos within 3 hours after addition to culture medium. In addition, H3R17 dimethylation and embryonic development up to the blastocyst stage were increased in the group treated with exogenous CPP-CARM1 protein compared with the untreated group (control). Interestingly, the number of total cells and trophectoderm in blastocysts as well as implantation rate were significantly increased in the CPP-CARM1 protein-treated group. However, the cell number of inner cell mass (ICM) was not changed compared with the control group; similarly, expression of pluripotency-related genes Oct4 and Nanog (ICM markers) was not significantly different between groups. On the other hand, expression of the implantation-related gene Cdx2 (trophectoderm marker) was transiently increased after treatment with CPP-CARM1 protein. On the basis of these results, we conclude that supplementation with exogenous CPP-CARM1 protein improves embryonic development of cloned embryos through regulation of histone methylation and gene expression. In addition, our results suggest that CPP-CARM1 protein may be a useful tool for strengthening implantation of mammalian embryos.
