Abstract |
GATA factors are essential transcription factors for embryonic development that broadly control the transcription of other genes. This study aimed to examine GATA2 protein localization in mouse embryos at the 2-cell stage, when drastic transformation in gene expression occurs for subsequent development in early embryos. We first analyzed GATA2 localization in 2-cell embryos at the interphase and mitotic phases by immunofluorescence analysis. In the interphase, GATA2 protein was localized in the nucleus, as a common transcription factor. In the mitotic phase, GATA2 protein was observed as a focally-aggregated spot around the nucleus of each blastomere. To explore the relationship between GATA2 protein localization and cell cycle progression in mouse 2-cell stage embryos, GFP-labeled GATA2 protein was overexpressed in the blastomere of 2-cell embryos. Overexpression of GFP-labeled GATA2 protein arrested cellular mitosis, focally aggregated GATA2 protein expression was not observed. This mitotic arrest by GATA2 overexpression was not accompanied with the upregulation of a 2-cell stage specific gene, murine endogenous retrovirus-L. These results suggest that GATA2 protein localization changes dynamically depending on cell cycle progression in mouse 2-cell embryos; in particular, focally aggregated localization of GATA2 in the mitotic phase requires appropriate cell cycle progression.
