Development is often assumed to be hardwired in the genome, but several lines of evidence indicate that it is susceptible to environmental modulation with potential long-term consequences, including in mammals. The embryonic germline is of particular interest because of the potential for intergenerational epigenetic effects. The mammalian germline undergoes extensive DNA demethylation that occurs in large part by passive dilution over successive cell divisions, accompanied by active DNA demethylation via Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) enzymes. Tet activity has been shown to be modulated by nutrients and metabolites, including Vitamin C (VitC). We report here that maternal VitC is required for proper DNA demethylation and development of female fetal germ cells in a mouse model. Maternal VitC deficiency does not affect overall embryonic development but leads to reduced germ cell numbers, delayed meiosis and reduced fecundity in adulthood. The transcriptome of germ cells from VitC-deficient embryos is remarkably similar to that of embryos carrying a null mutation in Tet1. VitC deficiency leads to an aberrant DNA methylation profile that includes incomplete demethylation of key regulators of meiosis and transposable elements. These findings reveal that deficiency in VitC during gestation partially recapitulates Tet1 loss and provide a potential intergenerational mechanism for adjusting fecundity to environmental conditions.
