Down-Regulation of H3K4me3 by MM-102 Facilitates Epigenetic Reprogramming of Porcine Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Embryos

Aberrantly high levels of H3K4me3, caused by incomplete epigenetic reprogramming, likely cause a low efficiency of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Smal molecule inhibitors aimed at epigenetic modification can be used to improve porcine SCNT embryo development. In this study, we examined the effects of MM-102, an H3K4 histone methyltransferase inhibitor, on porcine SCNT preimplantation embryos to investigate the mechanism by which H3K4...
