Regulation of gene expression is a complex process. Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression independently of DNA sequence. Epigenetic control of gene transcription is based on two main processes. The first is reversible DNA methylation, primarily of cytosine at position C5, rarely in position N3, or of adenine at position C6 (Xu et al., 2010). The second process is the change in chromatin structure and function by chemical modification of histones, including mainly methylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation of histone amino acids (Zamudio et al., 2008). During development and differentiation of cells, changes occur in DNA methylation of genes. After fertilization there are dynamic histone modifications and changes in DNA methylation in zygotes. Use of methylation sensitive restriction enzymes causes a global demethylation in the early embryonic stage (Sulewska et al., 2007 b). De novo methylation of CpG sites is followed by embryo implantation. Next, during gastrulation most genes are methylated except the tissue-specific genes. The last wave of de novo methylation takes place during the gametogenesis and is dependent on sex (Sulewska et al., 2007 b). The aim of this work is to review the current knowledge about epigenetic mechanism of molecular changes in animal cells with particular regard to embryonic development.
