Background/Aims: DNA methylation and histone modifications are essential epigenetic marks that can significantly affect the mammalian somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryo development. However, the mechanisms by which the DNA methylation affects the epigenetic reprogramming have not been fully elucidated. Methods: In our study, we used quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining (IF) and sodium bisulfite genomic sequencing to examine the effects of RG108, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi), on the dynamic pattern of DNA methylation and histone modifications in porcine SCNT embryos and investigate the mechanism by which the epigenome status of donor cells’ affects SCNT embryos development and the crosstalk between epigenetic signals. Results: Our results showed that active DNA demethylation was enhanced by the significantly improving expression levels of TET1, TET2, TET3 and 5hmC, and passive DNA demethylation was promoted by the remarkably inhibitory expression levels of DNMT1, DNMT3A and 5mC in embryos constructed from the fetal fibroblasts (FFs) treated with RG108 (RG-SCNT embryos) compared to the levels in embryos from control FFs (FF-SCNT embryos). The signal intensity of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9Ac) was significantly increased and the expression levels of H3K4 methyltransferases were more than 2-fold higher expression in RG-SCNT embryos. RG-SCNT embryos had significantly higher cleavage and blastocyst rates (69.3±1.4%, and 24.72±2.3%, respectively) than FF-SCNT embryos (60.1±2.4% and 18.38±1.9%, respectively). Conclusion: Dynamic changes in DNA methylation caused by RG108 result in dynamic alterations in the patterns of H3K4me3, H3K9Ac and histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3), which leads to the activation of embryonic genome and epigenetic modification enzymes associated with H3K4 methylation, and contributes to reconstructing normal epigenetic modifications and improving the developmental efficiency of porcine SCNT embryos.
