The recent high-profile reports of the derivation of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from human blastocysts produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) have highlighted the possibility of making autologous cell lines specific to individual patients. Cell replacement therapies have much potential for the treatment of diverse conditions, and differentiation of ESCs is highly desirable as a means of producing the ranges of cell types required. However, given the range of immunophenotypes of ESC lines currently available, rejection of the differentiated cells by the host is a potentially serious problem. SCNT offers a means of circumventing this by producing ESCs of the same genotype as the donor. However, this technique is not without problems because it requires resetting of the gene expression program of a somatic cell to a state consistent with embryonic development. Some remodeling of parental DNA does occur within the fertilized oocyte, but the somatic genome presented in a radically different format to those of the gametes. Hence, it is perhaps unsurprising that many genes are expressed aberrantly within "cloned" embryos and the ESCs derived from them. Epigenetic modification of the genome through DNA methylation and covalent modification of the histones that form the nucleosome is the key to the maintenance of the differentiated state of the cell, and it is this that must be reset during SCNT. This review focuses on the mechanisms by which this is achieved and how this may account for its partial failure in the "cloning" process. We also highlight the potential dangers this may introduce into ESCs produced by this technology.

Clearly, there are still many problems associated with SCNT. The majority of cloned embryos (irrespective of species) do not survive to birth, whereas those that do often demonstrate a variety of defects that greatly reduce the probability of their survival to adulthood . In this review, we will concentrate on the mechanisms that establish a normal epigenotype and consider the critical areas in which these differ between SCNT-derived and naturally fertilized embryos. 2 _8 e4 n6 E6 p& Z& v; b3 W

' v5 F3 c- x' K4 E! O+ ?' M
There are two basic strategies for the cloning of mammals by SCNT that are able to produce embryos capable of development to term. Both of these techniques require the removal of the nuclear material from the oocyte and differ only in the way in which the nuclear material of the donor cell is introduced and the subsequent activation of the reconstructed embryo. Enucleation of the MII oocyte may be achieved by a number of techniques; the most popular is capillary incision of the zona pellucida, using a micromanipulator followed by removal of the polar body and adjacent metaphase chromosomes by suction into a glass pipette (the so-called "handmade" cloning method). Although this technique has the advantage of simplicity, it does remove more oocyte cytoplasm and therefore it may reduce the amounts of proteins needed for reprogramming and early embryonic development.

Introduction of the donor nucleus can be performed using a variety of methods that aim to optimize the successful production of offspring by altering several factors. These techniques rely on either microinjection of the donor cell or its isolated nucleus into the oocyte cytoplasm, or fusion of the donor cell with the enucleated oocyte is achieved through appropriately timed electrical pulses. Of key importance is cell cycle synchrony of the donor cells. Full-term cloned animals have been obtained most consistently from donor cells in a quiescent state (G0 or G1), which may be induced in cultured cells by serum starvation .

% F# a6 T' p, p4 bNot all cells that would normally be nondividing are useful donors for SCNT. Neurons and other types of terminally differentiated cells are generally rather poor candidates for cloning studies; this may reflect the lack of developmental plasticity of their genomes. Such cells are believed to repress many more genes than cycling or less differentiated cells and as such are thought to be extremely difficult to reprogram .% _2 G- l9 H$ x
% H% _1 |6 f E& P2 B7 ~ s; b
However, other types of cells that are not terminally differentiated may make better donors. There is considerable evidence to suggest that the use of ESCs as nuclear donors gives rise to viable offspring with greater efficiency than many somatic cell types . Interestingly, these cells seem to offer little advantage (in terms of development to term) over more readily accessible cell types such as skin fibroblasts.& L, o( |+ K) f$ s+ _5 v" x
: G4 o7 N. t; ^1 M7 T& p% LWhichever method is used to transfer the donor nucleus, it undergoes disassembly in response to the high levels of maturation promoting factor (MPF) found in the MII-stage oocyte cytoplasm. Reassembly of the nucleus occurs after artificial activation of the reconstructed oocyte. An extension of the time between introduction of the donor nucleus and activation may be beneficial to the development of live clones , which resulted in higher rates of progression to blastocysts (83%) and 57% development of offspring to term. It has been suggested that such serial transfer allowed more time for reprogramming of the metaphase nucleus to take place (i.e., the initial reprogramming undertaken in the enucleated oocyte and up to the four-cell stage is augmented by another passage of the donor nucleus through another round of early embryonic development). It would be tempting to speculate that a serial transfer technique would be capable of solving many of the problems associated with cloning in mammals by more effectively removing the somatic "memory" of the donor nuclei. However, it has yet to be established that this technique offers any advantages for the isolation of ESC lines for therapeutic applications. Of course, the use of twice the number of oocytes would be a major obstacle for use in human studies in which oocyte availability is limited. Even if this obstacle were removed, it is essential to ensure that any human ESC lines produced by SCNT are capable of use in cell replacement therapy with minimal potential risk to the patient. For this reason, it is essential to increase our understanding of the nature of genome reprogramming in both normal and SCNT embryos.# y( M2 X5 w2 |+ s; J3 G' Z) h

5 q. F. D2 y# Y3 g# i
6 K3 l. t) W9 ]Upon transfer of a somatic nucleus to an oocyte during the cloning process, several essential changes must ensue. First, the somatic nucleus must cease to express its unique repertoire of gene products. Second, that nucleus must become subject to the instructions provided by the oocyte cytoplasm to unfold a new pattern of development-specific gene transcripts, and third, the heritable memory endowed by the chromatin that ensured the characteristics of the donor tissue must be erased. All these changes involve a remodeling, not of the underlying genetic sequences that comprise the genome, but of the epigenetic features that overwrite the gene sequences and find interpretation in new gene expression .

6 O0 q4 q# b' f4 `# ]Imprinted genes are a unique group of genes that are important for fetal growth and development, especially in the placenta, as well as for postnatal behavior and cognition. The expression of imprinted genes does not follow a mendelian pattern of inheritance but instead depends on the parent-of-origin to dictate its expression . This high error rate may represent a potentially fundamental obstacle and preclude the use of NT to derive patient-specific ESCs even though such cells may appear to be pluripotent under our current definitions of their ability to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. Cells may be derived from these lines which have the morphological and immunological characteristics that define them as therapeutically useful types, but these may not be able to function in the same way as similar indigenous cells when introduced into a patient if they are unable to express certain genes at their correct levels.

A contrary viewpoint could be that because many of the epigenetic errors that result from NT affect imprinted genes typically involved in extra embryonic development, they would be less likely to affect the inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst from which ESCs are derived. However, it would be surprising if imprinted genes were the only loci affected by incomplete epigenetic reprogramming given its genome-wide role in controlling gene expression. Indeed, there is evidence to support this latter view; microarray analysis has demonstrated that approximately 4% of a panel of 10,000 murine genes showed abnormal expression levels in the placenta of NT mice. Perhaps surprising was that although the livers of cloned animals also showed gene dysregulation, this was less extensive than in the placenta, affecting a different set of genes . In a companion study, gene expression patterns of NT clones derived from ESCs were compared with clones derived from cumulus cells as the somatic donors. This study found that a smaller subset of genes were affected in clones derived from ESCs compared with clones derived from cumulus cells, in keeping with the earlier suggestion that embryonic cells may require less reprogramming to reestablish totipotency. The fact that such errors occur at all in the ICM should make us exercise an element of caution when considering the use of NT-derived ESCs in regenerative medicine.$ r- C( u% A& [7 O! @! [* D

7 x. F! T- M v, ~/ y1 `Upon fertilization, there is a series of events that involve the incoming sperm as it encounters the egg cytoplasm. The initial event after fertilization is the decondensation of the sperm nucleus, resulting in the unwinding of the tightly packaged sperm DNA held in a unique, almost toroidal, conformation by the sperm-specific protamines (Fig. 2) .4 d$ l1 m/ \ X!

Removal of protamine is followed by binding of the DNA by acetylated histones that help to maintain the newly formed chromatin in an "open" conformation.

This remodeling of the sperm nucleus into an accessible, transcriptionally competent chromatin configuration is coincident with the formation of the pronuclear membrane and demethylation of the paternal genome. As the end of telophase approaches, centromeric proteins A and B, which function as part of the kinetochore complexes, are assembled onto the DNA. Upon completion of active demethylation, and with the initiation of S phase, transcription factors (e.g., TATA box protein and Sp1) bind to prime the genome for transcription late in the first cell cycle (Fig. 3).

7 O, H/ U; P5 [! k+ XThe exact nature of the active demethylation is not well understood. Active demethylation is operatively defined as loss of methylation in the absence of DNA replication. The speed with which this process occurs strongly suggested that it is mediated enzymatically. Identification of a putative demethylase enzyme(s), especially the active demethylase in the oocyte, has met with some controversy. As yet, the origin of this activity has not been unequivocally assigned to either the oocyte cytoplasm or the sperm itself; however, indirect evidence of partial demethylation on SCNT points to the activity residing in the oocyte cytoplasm. Demethylation of up to five supernumerary male pronuclei obtained by polyspermic fertilization of zona-free mouse oocytes suggests a high abundance of this activity .7 ]% Q/ N" J2 u5 a& o

Mechanistically, the loss of a methyl group poses a considerable enzymatic challenge, and these activities and their epigenetic regulation are a research "hotspot" at present. Why the embryo needs to actively demethylate the paternal genome so rapidly after fertilization remains a mystery.

Imprinted DNA methylation of loci is very often disrupted in NT embryos, affecting the extra-embryonic tissues more frequently than those of the embryo. However, although this may have certain consequences for embryonic survival and/or growth, imprinted loci do not represent the bulk of the mammalian genome, with more than 70 imprinted loci known to date , and in most cases the level of methylated DNA remains much higher than in normal embryos (Fig. 3), a state more reminiscent of somatic cells.% T# z& s, \) i& J
, [% v% V: C+ f8 D+ TIn addition to reduced passive loss of DNA methylation, the onset of de novo methylation frequently begins much earlier (four-cell stage) than in normal embryos, suggesting that incomplete remodeling of the donor nucleus impairs the normal temporal progression of epigenetic reprogramming leading to transcriptional misregulation. One might expect that given the apparent abundance of demethylating activity in the oocyte, the somatic genome would be rapidly demethylated; clearly, this is not the case. A number of explanations may account for inadequate epigenetic remodeling of the donor nucleus. First, the enucleation process may remove significant essential components intimately associated with the MII chromosomes which are required for demethylation. Precedence for an essential component of the mitotic apparatus has been reported in non-human primates .

The suggestion of a "histone code" controlling the expression or repression of genes by altering the conformation of the chromatin has gained widespread attention , so it seems that lysine trimethylation represents stability of either expression or silencing. It is uncertain whether the oocyte has the capability to reprogram these types of chromatin modifications.
* W% v, D; @5 R& {# B+ a" V3 p3 H) Y+ y& _. Q; [
The pattern of asymmetric DNA methylation in the newly fertilized mouse oocyte is also observed for some methylated states of K9 and K27 residues . Perhaps successful reprogramming during NT relies upon inducing histone modifications targeted to critical genomic regions more readily associated with germ-line resetting and not ordinarily expressed in the oocyte.
# I# m# o! z K+ d6 Z/ u- x' f w! r
At present, it is not yet clear whether the oocyte is uniquely competent to remodel and reprogram the wide variety of chromatin modifications, both nucleosomal and otherwise, in a more efficient manner. Perhaps the focus of attention should continue with presenting inherently more compatible donors during SCNT. Irrespective of the limitations to reprogramming, a low number of NT embryos do survive, suggesting that in rare cases it is capable of at least partial resetting of the genome. It may be the case that the reprogramming activity is simply overwhelmed by the enormous task of having to modify or replace somatic histones, remove polycomb complex proteins, and demethylate areas of the genome that may be a lot less accessible than the corresponding areas in gamete-derived genomes. Alternatively, it may be that such reprogramming is actually "forbidden" for the genomes of somatic cells and it is only when the mechanism controlling this malfunctions that successful clones arise.% q: J2 ^) @2 s* `9 o% i

The use of SCNT to produce patient-specific ESC lines holds great promise for the development of individually "tailored" cell replacement therapy and regenerative medicine.

/ ^3 @4 ~: W# f; kIt is clear that significant improvements must be made in understanding the ordinary process whereby an oocyte remodels a sperm nucleus, restoring totipotency to the diploid zygote. We must apply this basic information to understand the extraordinary situation when the oocyte, challenged with a somatic nucleus, attempts to erase somatic epigenotypes to initiate development. It may even be possible to design strategies for epigenetic intervention which give the reprogramming process a "helping hand" by partially resetting the epigenotype of the somatic donor cell to a more embryonic state. It is to hoped that ultimately the investigation of epigenetic reprogramming in NT will give us sufficient understanding to manipulate this process in somatic cells by an "epigenetic engineering" approach so that we can produce therapeutically useful pluripotent cells directly.$ l' \1 {4 p% m% J( h; z9 h" U.
