</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">This article is about the epigenetic phenomenon. For the writing of computer code, see <a href="Computer_programming" title="Computer programming">computer programming</a>.</div>
<p>In biology, <b>reprogramming</b> refers to erasure and remodeling of <a href="Epigenetics" title="Epigenetics">epigenetic</a> marks, such as <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a>, during mammalian development or in cell culture.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Such control is also often associated with alternative covalent modifications of <a href="Histones" class="mw-redirect" title="Histones">histones</a>.
</p><p>Reprogrammings that are both large scale (10% to 100% of epigenetic marks) and rapid (hours to a few days) occur at three life stages of mammals. Almost 100% of epigenetic marks are reprogrammed in two short periods early in development after <a href="Fertilization" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertilization">fertilization</a> of an <a href="Egg_cell" title="Egg cell">ovum</a> by a <a href="Sperm" title="Sperm">sperm</a>. In addition, almost 10% of <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylations</a> in <a href="Neuron" title="Neuron">neurons</a> of the hippocampus can be rapidly altered during formation of a strong fear memory.
</p><p>After fertilization in mammals, <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a> patterns are largely erased and then re-established during early embryonic development. Almost all of the methylations from the parents are erased, first during early <a href="Embryogenesis" class="mw-redirect" title="Embryogenesis">embryogenesis</a>, and again in <a href="Gametogenesis" title="Gametogenesis">gametogenesis</a>, with demethylation and remethylation occurring each time. Demethylation during early embryogenesis occurs in the preimplantation period. After a sperm fertilizes an <a href="Egg_cell" title="Egg cell">ovum</a> to form a <a href="Zygote" title="Zygote">zygote</a>, rapid <a href="DNA_demethylation" title="DNA demethylation">DNA demethylation</a> of the paternal DNA and slower demethylation of the maternal DNA occurs until formation of a <a href="Morula" class="mw-redirect" title="Morula">morula</a>, which has almost no methylation. After the <a href="Blastocyst" title="Blastocyst">blastocyst</a> is formed, methylation can begin, and with formation of the <a href="Epiblast" title="Epiblast">epiblast</a> a wave of methylation then takes place until the <a href="Implantation_(embryology)" title="Implantation (embryology)">implantation</a> stage of the embryo. Another period of rapid and almost complete demethylation occurs during gametogenesis within the primordial <a href="Germ_cell" title="Germ cell">germ cells</a> (PGCs). Other than the PGCs, in the post-implantation stage, methylation patterns in somatic cells are stage- and <a href="Tissue_(biology)" title="Tissue (biology)">tissue</a>-specific with changes that presumably define each individual <a href="Cell_type" title="Cell type">cell type</a> and last stably over a long time.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The mouse <a href="Sperm" title="Sperm">sperm</a> <a href="Genome" title="Genome">genome</a> is 80–90% <a href="5-Methylcytosine" title="5-Methylcytosine">methylated</a> at its <a href="CpG_site" title="CpG site">CpG sites</a> in DNA, amounting to about 20 million methylated sites. After <a href="Fertilization" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertilization">fertilization</a>, the paternal chromosome is almost completely <a href="DNA_demethylation" title="DNA demethylation">demethylated</a> in six hours by an active process, before DNA replication (blue line in Figure). In the mature <a href="Oocyte" title="Oocyte">oocyte</a>, about 40% of its CpG sites are methylated. Demethylation of the maternal chromosome largely takes place by blockage of the methylating <a href="Enzyme" title="Enzyme">enzymes</a> from acting on maternal-origin DNA and by dilution of the methylated maternal DNA during replication (red line in Figure). The <a href="Morula" class="mw-redirect" title="Morula">morula</a> (at the 16 cell stage), has only a small amount of <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a> (black line in Figure). Methylation begins to increase at 3.5 days after fertilization in the <a href="Blastocyst" title="Blastocyst">blastocyst</a>, and a large wave of methylation then occurs on days 4.5 to 5.5 in the <a href="Epiblast" title="Epiblast">epiblast</a>, going from 12% to 62% methylation, and reaching maximum level after implantation in the uterus.<sup id="cite_ref-pmid25476147_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pmid25476147-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By day seven after fertilization, the newly formed <a href="Germ_cell" title="Germ cell">primordial germ cells</a> (PGC) in the implanted <a href="Embryo" title="Embryo">embryo</a> segregate from the remaining <a href="Somatic_cell" title="Somatic cell">somatic cells</a>. At this point the PGCs have about the same level of methylation as the somatic cells.
</p><p>The newly formed primordial germ cells (PGC) in the implanted embryo devolve from the somatic cells. At this point the PGCs have high levels of methylation. These cells migrate from the epiblast toward the <a href="Gonadal_ridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Gonadal ridge">gonadal ridge</a>. Now the cells are rapidly proliferating and beginning demethylation in two waves. In the first wave, demethylation is by replicative dilution, but in the second wave demethylation is by an active process. The second wave leads to demethylation of specific <a href="Locus_(genetics)" title="Locus (genetics)">loci</a>. At this point the PGC genomes display the lowest levels of DNA methylation of any cells in the entire <a href="Biological_life_cycle" title="Biological life cycle">life cycle</a> [at embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5), see the second figure in this section].<sup id="cite_ref-Zeng_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Zeng-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>

<p>After fertilization some cells of the newly formed embryo migrate to the germinal ridge and will eventually become the <a href="Germ_cell" title="Germ cell">germ cells</a> (sperm and oocytes) of the next generation. Due to the phenomenon of <a href="Genomic_imprinting" title="Genomic imprinting">genomic imprinting</a>, maternal and paternal genomes are differentially marked and must be properly reprogrammed every time they pass through the germline. Therefore, during the process of <a href="Gametogenesis" title="Gametogenesis">gametogenesis</a> the primordial germ cells must have their original biparental <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylation</a> patterns erased and re-established based on the sex of the transmitting parent.
</p><p>After fertilization, the paternal and maternal genomes are demethylated in order to erase their epigenetic signatures and acquire <a href="Totipotency" class="mw-redirect" title="Totipotency">totipotency</a>. There is asymmetry at this point: the male pronucleus undergoes a quick and active demethylation. Meanwhile the female pronucleus is demethylated passively during consecutive cell divisions. The process of <a href="DNA_demethylation" title="DNA demethylation">DNA demethylation</a> involves <a href="Base_excision_repair" title="Base excision repair">base excision repair</a> and likely other DNA-repair-based mechanisms.<sup id="cite_ref-pmid27916276_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pmid27916276-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Despite the global nature of this process, there are certain sequences that avoid it, such as <a href="Differentially_methylated_regions" class="mw-redirect" title="Differentially methylated regions">differentially methylated regions</a> (DMRS) associated with imprinted genes, <a href="Retrotransposon" title="Retrotransposon">retrotransposons</a> and <a href="Centromeric" class="mw-redirect" title="Centromeric">centromeric</a> <a href="Heterochromatin" title="Heterochromatin">heterochromatin</a>.

<p><a href="Learning" title="Learning">Learning</a> and memory have levels of permanence, differing from other mental processes such as thought, language, and consciousness, which are temporary in nature. Learning and memory can be either accumulated slowly (multiplication tables) or rapidly (touching a hot stove), but once attained, can be recalled into conscious use for a long time. Rats subjected to one instance of <a href="Fear_conditioning" title="Fear conditioning">contextual fear conditioning</a> create an especially strong long-term memory. At 24 h after training, 9.17% of the genes in the rat genomes of <a href="Hippocampus" title="Hippocampus">hippocampus</a> neurons were found to be <a href="Differentially_methylated_region" title="Differentially methylated region">differentially methylated</a>.

In rats contextual fear conditioning is abolished when the hippocampus is subjected to hippocampectomy just 1 day after conditioning, but rats retain a considerable amount of contextual fear when a long delay (28 days) is imposed between the time of conditioning and the time of hippocampectomy.<sup id="cite_ref-pmid16120461_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pmid16120461-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Molecular_stages">Molecular stages</h2></div>
<p>Three molecular stages are required for reprogramming the <a href="DNA_methylation" title="DNA methylation">DNA methylome</a>. Stage 1: Recruitment. The enzymes needed for reprogramming are recruited to genome sites that require demethylation or methylation. Stage 2: Implementation. The initial enzymatic reactions take place. In the case of methylation, this is a short step that results in the methylation of <a href="Cytosine" title="Cytosine">cytosine</a> to <a href="5-methylcytosine" class="mw-redirect" title="5-methylcytosine">5-methylcytosine</a>. Stage 3: <a href="Base_excision_DNA_repair" class="mw-redirect" title="Base excision DNA repair">Base excision DNA repair</a>. The intermediate products of demethylation are catalysed by specific enzymes of the base excision DNA repair pathway that finally restore cystosine in the DNA sequence.

<p>The Figure in this section indicates the central roles of ten-eleven translocation <a href="TET_enzymes" title="TET enzymes">methylcytosine dioxygenases (TETs)</a> in the demethylation of 5-methylcytosine to form cytosine.<sup id="cite_ref-Bayraktar_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bayraktar-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As reviewed in 2018,<sup id="cite_ref-Bayraktar_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bayraktar-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 5mC is very often initially oxidized by TET dioxygenases to generate <a href="5-hydroxymethylcytosine" class="mw-redirect" title="5-hydroxymethylcytosine">5-hydroxymethylcytosine</a> (5hmC). In successive steps (see Figure) TET enzymes further hydroxylate 5hmC to generate <a href="5-formylcytosine" class="mw-redirect" title="5-formylcytosine">5-formylcytosine</a> (5fC) and <a href="5-carboxylcytosine" class="mw-redirect" title="5-carboxylcytosine">5-carboxylcytosine</a> (5caC). <a href="Thymine-DNA_glycosylase" title="Thymine-DNA glycosylase">Thymine-DNA glycosylase</a> (TDG) recognizes the intermediate bases 5fC and 5caC and excises the <a href="Glycosidic_bond" title="Glycosidic bond">glycosidic bond</a> resulting in an <a href="AP_site" title="AP site">apyrimidinic site</a> (AP site). In an alternative oxidative deamination pathway, 5hmC can be oxidatively deaminated by <a href="APOBEC" title="APOBEC">APOBEC</a> (AID/APOBEC) deaminases to form 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) or 5mC can be converted to <a href="Thymine" title="Thymine">thymine</a> (Thy). 5hmU can be cleaved by TDG, <a href="SMUG1" title="SMUG1">SMUG1</a>, <a href="NEIL1" title="NEIL1">NEIL1</a>, or <a href="MBD4" title="MBD4">MBD4</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="TET_family">TET family</h3></div>
<p>The isoforms of the <a href="TET_enzymes" title="TET enzymes">TET enzymes</a> include at least two isoforms of TET1, one of <a href="Tet_methylcytosine_dioxygenase_2" title="Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2">TET2</a> and three isoforms of <a href="Tet_methylcytosine_dioxygenase_3" title="Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3">TET3</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-pmid26774490_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pmid26774490-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Melamed_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Melamed-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The full-length canonical TET1 isoform appears virtually restricted to early embryos, embryonic stem cells and primordial germ cells (PGCs). The dominant TET1 isoform in most somatic tissues, at least in the mouse, arises from <a href="Alternative_promoter" class="mw-redirect" title="Alternative promoter">alternative promoter</a> usage which gives rise to a short transcript and a truncated protein designated TET1s. The isoforms of TET3 are the full length form TET3FL, a short form splice variant TET3s, and a form that occurs in oocytes and neurons designated TET3o. TET3o is created by alternative promoter use and contains an additional first <a href="N-terminal" class="mw-redirect" title="N-terminal">N-terminal</a> <a href="Exon" title="Exon">exon</a> coding for 11 <a href="Proteinogenic_amino_acid" title="Proteinogenic amino acid">amino acids</a>. TET3o only occurs in oocytes and neurons and was not expressed in embryonic stem cells or in any other cell type or adult mouse tissue tested. Whereas TET1 expression can barely be detected in oocytes and zygotes, and TET2 is only moderately expressed, the TET3 variant TET3o shows extremely high levels of expression in oocytes and zygotes, but is nearly absent at the 2-cell stage. It is possible that TET3o, high in neurons, oocytes and zygotes at the one cell stage, is the major TET enzyme utilized when very large scale rapid demethylations occur in these cells.
