This study was conducted to investigate the effects of suppressing and inhibiting DNMT1 on the embryonic development and bull fertility traits. In the first approach, in vitro produced zygotes were assigned randomly into four groups namely: those injected with Smartpool siRNA (SpsiRNA), 5aza-2’-deoxycytidine (5-AZA), nuclease free water and non-injected control. The proportions of different stages of embryos were assessed 48 and 72 hr post microinjection (pmi) while blastocyst rate was assessed at day 8 pmi. A second objective was to identify the effects of SNPs in DNMT1, DNMT3a and DNMT3b on bull fertility traits namely: non-return rate (NRR), sperm quality traits namely: sperm volume per ejaculate, sperm concentration, sperm motility, survivability after thawing, and sperm flow cytometric parameter namely: positive acrosome status (PAS), plasma membrane integrity (PMI) and DNA fragmentation index (DFI): and embryonic development in terms of time at first cleavage, late cleavage and blastocyst. For this, 310 breeding bull sperms obtained station and 350 embryos were genotyped at those loci using DNA samples. The proportions of the 8-cell embryos were lower in SpsiRNA and 5-AZA injected groups. The lowest total blastocyst rate was observed in 5-AZA treatment group. Microinjection of SpsiRNA has reduced the target mRNA by 80 and 50% in 8-cell and blastocyst stage embryos. Lower protein expression was also observed at 8-cell stage in embryos that were injected with SpsiRNA. The highest apoptotic index was found in SpsiRNA and 5-AZA injected groups. The microinjection of SpsiRNA and 5-AZA has increased the expression of IGF2 by 1.67 and 1.55 times. Analysis of variance revealed association of SNP of DNMT1 with NRR and PAS, while DNMT3a and DNMT3b were found to be associated with NRR as well as sperm motility. In addition, combined loci analysis of variance among DNMT1 x DNMT3a x DNMT3b showed significant association with NRR, sperm motility and survivability after thawing. SNP of DNMT1 gene was significant correlated with embryonic development. In conclusion, this gene evidently plays a critical role in bovine preimplantation and associates with bull fertility traits and embryonic development. Following validation of this result in an independent population, there is a great potential to use these loci as markers of fertility to enhance embryonic development.
