摘　　要：早期胚胎发育是胚胎发育中细胞分裂与分化最为活跃的时期,也是合子型基因大规模转录的时期,而此时组蛋白的甲基化修饰也显示出动态学的变化。这一时期,在细胞内外信号的共同调控下,经历着一系列基因的激活与抑制,许多调控机制参与其中的调控。而近年来的研究表示,表观遗传学调控显示越来越重要的作用。组蛋白甲基化修饰是表观遗传学重要调控机制之一,在胚胎的早期发育过程中扮演着重要的角色。就近年来组蛋白甲基化修饰酶在早期胚胎发育过程中的作用与功能做一简要综述。Early embryo development is the most active stage for cell division and differentiation. It is a stage for initiation of large-scale transcription of zygotic genes. At this time, there is also dynamic variation in histone methylated modification. There are some extracellular and intracellular signals working cooperatively to regulate a series of genes expression and repression, many mechanisms participated in this regulation. In recent studies, the regulation of epigenetics has been shown to play an important role in these biological processes. Histone methylated modification is one of the key epigenetic regulation mechanisms that play critical roles in early embryo developmental programs. This review summarized recent advances in the understanding of role and function of histone methylated modification enzyme during the course of early embryo development.
