Genomic distribution and inter-sample variation of non-CG methylation across human cell types

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation plays an important role in development and disease. The primary sites of DNA methylation in vertebrates are cytosines in the CpG dinucleotide context, which account for roughly three quarters of the total DNA methylation content in human and mouse cells. While the genomic distribution, inter-individual stability and functional role of CpG methylation are reasonably well understood, little is known about DNA methylation targeting CpA, CpC and CpT dinucleotides. Here we report a comprehensive analysis of non-CG methylation in 72 genome-scale DNA methylation maps across human pluripotent and differentiated cell types. We confirm non-CG methylation to be predominant in pluripotent cell types and observe an expected decrease upon differentiation and near complete absence in various differentiated cells. Our data highlight that non-CG methylation is highly variable and shows little conservation between different pluripotent cell lines. While we show a strong correlation of non-CG methylation and DNMT3 expression levels we find a statistical independence of non-CG methylation from pluripotency associated gene expression. Finally, non-CG methylation appears to be spatially correlated with CpG methylation. In summary these results contribute further to our understanding of DNA methylation in human cells and help clarify previous observations using a large representative sample set.

Non-CG DNA methylation is a biomarker for assessing endodermal differentiation capacity in pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA Methylation BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 470,000 CpG and 2,700 non-CG loci in 195 DNA extracts from iPSCs, ESCs and donor cell lines. Non-CG methylation is an unexplored epigenetic hallmark of pluripotent stem cells. Here we report that a reduction in non-CG methylation is associated with impaired differentiation capacity into endodermal lineages. Genome-wide analysis of 2,670 non-CG sites in a discovery cohort of 25 phenotyped human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines revealed unidirectional loss (Δβ = 13%, p<7.4x10-4) of non-CG methylation that correctly identifies endodermal differentiation capacity in 23 out of 25 (92%) hiPSC lines. Translation into a simplified assay of only 9 non-CG sites maintains predictive power in the discovery cohort (Δβ = 23%, p<9.1x10-6) and correctly identifies endodermal differentiation capacity in nince out of ten pluripotent stem cell lines in an independent replication cohort consisting of hiPSCs reprogrammed from different cell types and different delivery systems, as well as human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines. This finding infers non-CG methylation at these sites as a biomarker when assessing endodermal differentiation capacity as a readout.

Reduced representation bisulphite sequencing of ten bovine somatic tissues reveals DNA methylation patterns and their impacts on gene expression [RNA-Seq]

Project description:As a key epigenetic modification, DNA methylation is essential for normal development by regulating processes like gene expression, genomic imprinting, and suppression of repetitive elements. However, DNA methylation in the cattle genome is not well understood. Here we presented the first single-base-resolution maps of DNA methylation in 10 diversely somatic tissues harvested from the sequenced Hereford cow L1 Dominette 01449 and her relatives using reduced representation bisulphite sequencing (RRBS). In total, we observed 1,868,049 high accuracy cytosines that located in the CG enriched regions. Similar to the methylation patterning in other species, the CG context was predominant methylated. Widespread differences were identified between the methylation patterns of CG and non-CG contexts. They were distributed differentially among the genomic features, including the genic regions, CpG islands, and repetitive sequences. Autocorrelation analysis among adjacent residues illustrated that methylation level of CGs were highly correlated in a region. In contrast, weak or no correlation was found among non-CGs or between CGs and non-CGs. The distinct distribution and low correlation of CG and non-CG methylation suggested that non-CG methylation may be independent from CG methylation and may be mediated by different mechanisms. We also detected 798 tissue-specific differentially methylated cytosines (tDMC) and 131 tissue-specific differentially methylated CpG islands. Combined analysis with the RNA-seq data, we discovered several non-CGs in tDMCs also highly correlated with gene expression, which implied the potential function of non-CG methylation in somatic cells in addition to pluripotent cells. In summary, we showed that non-CGs exist in bovine tissues and some of them were correlated with tissue-specific functions. This study provided essential information for the cytosine methylation patterning in bovine somatic tissues.

Induced Pluripotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Clones Retain Donor-Derived Differences in DNA Methylation Profiles

Project description:Reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) is an epigenetic phenomenon. It has been suggested that iPSC retain some tissue-specific memory whereas little is known about inter-individual epigenetic variation of iPSC clones. In this study we have reprogrammed mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) from human bone marrow by retrovirus-mediated overexpression of OCT-3/4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4. Global DNA-methylation profiles of the initial MSC, MSC-derived iPSC (iP-MSC) and embryonic stem cells (ESC) were then compared using a high density DNA-methylation array covering more than 450,000 CpG sites. Overall, DNA-methylation patterns of iP-MSC and ESC were similar whereas some CpG sites revealed highly significant differences, which were not related to parental MSC. Furthermore, hypermethylation in iP-MSC versus ESC was particularly enriched in developmental genes as well as shore regions next to CpG islands indicating that these differences are not due to tissue-specific memory or random de novo methylation. Subsequently, we searched for CpG sites with donor-specific variation in MSC preparations. These “epigenetic fingerprints” were highly enriched in non-promoter regions and outside of CpG islands – and they were maintained upon reprogramming into iP-MSC. In conclusion, DNA methylation profiles of iP-MSC clones from the same donor were closely related despite heterogeneity of MSC. On the other hand, iP-MSC maintain donor-derived epigenetic differences. In the absence of isogenic controls for disease modeling applications, it would therefore be more appropriate to compare iPSC from different donors rather than a high number of different clones from the same patient. 16 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Evolution of CpH methylation in vertebrate brains

Project description:The brain requires complex mechanisms of genome regulation to encode and store behavioural information. In mammals, DNA methylation deposited at non-CG dinucleotides characterises brain epigenomes. However, it is unclear to what extent this non-canonical form of DNA methylation is evolutionarily conserved. To test this we profile brain cytosine methylation across the major vertebrate lineages, amphioxus, honeybee and octopus, finding that non-CG methylation in adult brain methylomes is restricted to vertebrates. In vertebrates, the genomic patterns of non-CG do not recapitulate those of CG methylation, yet both patterns are deeply conserved. Whereas low levels of gene body CG methylation demarcate a set of developmental transcription factors across tissues and species, a distinct set of neurodevelopmental genes accumulate non-CG methylation in neural tissues. We further show that the establishment of this methylation context coincides with the origin of the “writer” of non-CG methylation, the methyltransferase DNMT3A, and the “reader”, the methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2), fuelled by the ancestral whole genome duplication in vertebrates. Surprisingly, MeCP2 evolved in a stepwise process, from an ancestral MBD4 protein with a dual role in transcriptional regulation and DNA repair in chordates. In sum, we show how a novel neural epigenomic layer assembled at the root of vertebrates and gained new regulatory roles partly independent from CG methylation, which could have fostered the sophisticated cognitive repertoires found in the vertebrate lineage.

Landscape of genome-wide DNA methylation profile of colorectal cancer metastasis

Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation of colorectal cancer patients with lymph node metastases showed global loss of DNA methylation in CG-poor, non-CpG island (CGI) regions. Overall CGI methylation was increased in tumour samples. Differential methylation analysis of CGIs identified 60 putative biomarkers, with >20% increase in DNA methylation in both primary tumour and metastasis samples compared to normal adjacent tissue.

Non-CG methylation patterns shape the epigenetic landscape in Arabidopsis

Project description:DNA methylation occurs in both CG and non-CG sequence contexts. Non-CG methylation is abundant in plants, and is mediated by CHROMOMETHYLASE (CMT) and DOMAINS REARRANGED METHYLTRANSFERASE (DRM) proteins; however its roles remain poorly understood. Here we characterize the roles of non-CG methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that a poorly characterized methyltransferase, CMT2, is a functional methyltransferase in vitro and in vivo. CMT2 specifically binds histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) dimethylation and methylates non-CG cytosines at sites that are also regulated by H3K9 dimethylation. By generating different combinations of non-CG methylation mutants, we reveal the contributions and redundancies between each methyltransferase in DNA methylation patterning and in regulating transposable elements (TEs) and protein-coding genes. We also demonstrate extensive dependencies of small RNA accumulation and H3K9 methylation patterning on non-CG methylation, suggesting self-reinforcing mechanisms between these epigenetic factors. The results suggest that non-CG methylation patterns are critical in shaping the histone modification and small non-coding RNA landscapes.

Conservation and divergence of methylation patterning in plants and animals

Project description:Cytosine DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic mark present in many eukaryotic organisms. While DNA methylation likely has a conserved role in gene silencing, the levels and patterns of DNA methylation appear to vary drastically among different organisms. Here, we used shotgun genomic bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq) to compare DNA methylation in eight diverse plant and animal genomes. We found that patterns of methylation are very similar in flowering plants with methylated cytosines detected in all sequence contexts, whereas CG methylation predominates in animals. Vertebrates have methylation throughout the genome except for CpG islands. Gene body methylation is conserved with clear preference for exons in most of the organisms. Furthermore, genes appear to be the major target of methylation in Ciona and honeybee. Among the eight organisms, the green alga Chlamydomonas has the most unusual pattern of methylation, having non-CG methylation enriched in exons of genes rather than in repeats and transposons. In addition, we demonstrate that the Dnmt1 cofactor Uhrf1 has a conserved function in maintaining CG methylation in both transposons and gene bodies in the mouse, Arabidopsis, and zebrafish genomes.
