The Effects of Trichostatin A on mRNA Expression of Chromatin Structure-, DNA Methylation-, and Development-Related Genes in Cloned Mouse Blastocysts
3 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Trichostatin A (TSA) is the most potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor known. We previously reported that treatment of mouse somatic cell nuclear-transferred (SCNT) oocytes with TSA significantly increased the blastocyst rate, blastocyst cell number, and full-term development. How TSA enhances the epigenetic remodeling ability of somatic nuclei and the expression of development-related genes, however, is...
