To gain insight into parthenogenesis in pigs, we report for the first time that using parthenogenetic somatic cells as nuclear donors (PSCNT), the porcine parthenogenetic fetus can develop to gestational day 39. Weight and morphological analysis revealed that PSCNT fetuses were smaller and developmentally retarded when compared to normally fertilized controls. Quantitative gene expression analysis indicated that in PSCNT fetuses, H19 was over-expressed, whereas Igf2 was significantly reduced (p < 0.05) compared with their controls. In addition, bisulfite-sequencing PCR results demonstrated that H19 differentially DNA methylated regions (DMRs) were hypomethylated in PSCNT fetuses, while Igf2 DMRs were hypermethylated in both PSCNT and control fetuses. Our results suggest that extended development of the porcine parthenogenetic fetus can be accomplished using PSCNT and that abnormal DNA methylation of H19 DMRs might contribute to the critical barrier of parthenogenesis in pigs.
