Abstract:
:Somatic cloning by nuclear transfer returns a differentiated cell to a totipotent stage, a process termed nuclear reprogramming. During this de-differentiation process, genes inactivated during tissue differentiation are re-activated in a temporal and spatial special manner. It is believed that tissue differentiation occurs through epigenetic mechanisms, genetic inheritance that does not involve changes in DNA sequences. Developmental abnormalities and a high mortality rate in cloned offspring have frequently been observed and probably result from incomplete nuclear reprogramming. In this review, the reprogramming of two epigenetic mechanisms, imprinting and X chromosome inactivation, as well as recent attempts to modify pre-existing epigenetic marks in donor cells to improve nuclear transfer efficacy, are discussed.
