Acetylation Level of Histone H3 in Early Embryonic Stages Affects Subsequent Development of Miniature Pig Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Embryos
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Successful cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) requires a reprogramming process in which the epigenetic state of a differentiated donor nucleus must be converted into an embryonic totipotent state. However, this epigenetic reprogramming is incomplete in SCNT embryos, causing low production efficiency. Recently, it has been reported that trichostatin A (TSA), an inhibitor of histone deacetylase,...
