Epigenetic Characteristics and Development of Embryos Cloned from Donor Cells Treated by Trichostatin A or 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine1
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Development to blastocyst following nuclear transfer is dependent on the donor cell's ability to reprogram its genome to that of a zygote. This reprogramming step is inefficient and may be dependent on a number of factors, including chromatin organization. Trichostatin A (TSA; 0-5 microM), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, was used to increase histone acetylation and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC; 0-5 microM),...
