Maternal deletion of Smchd1 during oocyte development depletes SMCHD1 until the 16-cell embryonic stage.
(a) Schematic for maternal deletion of Smchd1. (b) Deletion of Smchd1 in oocyte development with MMTV-Cre and Zp3-Cre. Arrowheads indicate primordial follicle oocyte nuclei, white dotted lines surround primary-antral follicle oocytes. Smchd1 (magenta), c-KIT (yellow), DAPI (cyan). n = 15–27 sections for two ovaries per cohort. A total of 5–20 follicles were observed for primordial – late secondary stages and 2–3 antral follicles for each genotype. (c) Detection of paternal SMCHD1-GFP from day 1.5 to 3.5 in pre-implantation embryos. Smchd1GFP/GFP embryos were used as positive controls. (d) Detection of maternal SMCHD1-GFP in the nuclei of E2.5 (8 cell) embryos, with Smchd1+/+ used as negative controls. Nuclei marked with DAPI (cyan). Scale bar – 50 µm.

Maternal deletion of Smchd1 does not affect pup viability or weight.
Zygotic SMCHD1 has a limited contribution to the embryonic SMCHD1 pool in the early embryo. (a) Embryo lethality data for Smchd1 maternal null embryos and animals at weaning, compared to wild-type control litters generated from Smchd1fl/fl non-transgenic dams, or heterozygous litters generated from a reciprocal cross. The p-value was calculated using Student's two-tailed t-test. (b) Smchd1 mutations in the dam do not influence pup weights at P2. Student's two-tailed t-test. (c) Immunofluorescence detection of maternal SMCHD1-GFP in the nuclei of 8-cell embryos, with Smchd1+/+ used as negative controls and Smchd1GFP/GFP embryos were used as positive controls. Zygotic SMCHD1 was detectable in some cells from the 8-cell stage onward but comparatively less signal intensity to the GFP control when embryos were imaged with identical settings, in experiments performed on the same day. n ≥ 2 embryos.

(b) MA-plots of allelic gene expression in MMTV-Cre E9.5 embryos and E14.5 placentae, and Zp3-Cre E14.5 placentae.

A CGI is called differentially methylated if the multiple-testing corrected p-value is below 0.05 and the absolute difference in methylation level between the two conditions is at least 10%.
