Abstract
Both developmental pluripotency-associated protein 3 (Dppa3/Stella/PGC7) and dioxygenase ten-eleven translocation 3 (Tet3) are maternal factors that regulate DNA methylation reprogramming during early embryogenesis. In the mouse zygote, dimethylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me2) attracts Dppa3 to prevent Tet3-mediated oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Here, we addressed the interplay between Dppa3 and Tet3 or H3K9me2 in somatic cells. In mouse NIH3T3 cells, the exogenously expressed Dppa3 preferentially accumulated in the cytoplasm and had no effect on Tet3-mediated 5hmC generation. In HeLa cells, the expressed Dppa3 was predominantly localised in the nucleus and could partially suppress Tet3-induced 5hmC accumulation, but this suppressive function was not correlated with H3K9me2. Co-immunoprecipitation assays further revealed an interaction of Dppa3 with Tet3 but not with H3K9me2 in HeLa cells. In cloned zygotes from somatic cells, Dppa3 distribution and 5hmC accumulation in nuclei were not affected by H3K9me2 levels. Taken together, these results suggest that H3K9me2 is not functionally associated with Dppa3 and Tet3 in somatic cells or somatic cell cloned embryos.
