Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are father-derived and mother-derived chromosomes in a cell, but they perform different functions. An epigenetic mechanism, called DNA methylation, was known as the major mechanism. However, our recent studies have shown that chemical modification of histones, the proteins that store DNA, make the parental chromosomes have different functions in early mouse embryos. Disrupting this histone-mediated mechanism of parental chromosome function resulted in abnormalities in mouse development. In this study, we showed that abnormal expression of a gene called Xist, which is essential for X chromosome inactivation, adversely affects development, and that normalization of Xist expression can restore the development of the above-mentioned mouse model.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

生物は環境に応じて変化します。その変化した表現型に選択がかかり、それが子孫に伝わることで進化が起こります。表現型の情報の伝達を担うのが、卵や精子(配偶子)です。配偶子には、ゲノムとその取扱説明書にあたるエピゲノムが含まれており、エピゲノムの一部も次世代に伝わり、表現型の形成に寄与します。エピゲノムはゲノムと違い環境により変化するので、配偶子のエピゲノムは環境に応じた生物の進化に寄与する可能性があります。本研究では、卵から次世代に伝わるエピゲノムの機能に関する知見を深化させました。この成果は、配偶子のエピゲノムという視点から生物進化のメカニズムを考察するための礎になると期待されます。
