Project description:AlkB homolog 1 (ALKBH1) is one of nine members of the AlkB homologs in mammals. Most Alkbh1-deficient mice die during embryonic development, and survivors have severe defects in tissues originating from the ectodermal lineage. We hypothesized the phenotype to rely upon aberrant epigenetic regulation and provided evidence for ALKBH1 to be a histone H2A demethylase. We used a whole genome expression microarray to detail differentially expressed genes in embryonic stem cells lacking the Alkbh1 gene and identified distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:AlkB homolog 1 (ALKBH1) has been reported to act as a DNA 6mA demethylase to remove 6mA modificatione in ukaryotic genomes. Our previous data showed downregalted ALKBH1 in mouse and human fatty liver and increased DNA 6mA levels in mouse fatty liver. We hypothesize that ALKBH1 may be involved in hepatic lipid metabolism. To test this hypothesis, we generated liver-specific ALKBH1 knockout (Alkbh1 f/f, Albumine-cre; AKO) mice and used high-throughput RNA sequence and other assays to directly study the role of ALKBH1 during the development of hepatic steatosis.

Project description:The aim of the study was to elucidate the role of Alkbh1 by targeted deletion in C57/BL6 mice. Alkb deficiency results in sex-ratio distortion of offspring and apoptosis in adult testes, most likely caused by defects in the pachytene stage during spermatogenesis. Due to the pivotal role of Alkbh1 in mouse survival and potentially in germ cells, we searched for Alkbh1-regulated genes in adult testes.

Testes from 12 week old mice were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We used testes from 3 wild type mice and 3 KO mice

Project description:AlkB homolog 1 (ALKBH1) has been reported to act as a DNA 6mA demethylase to remove 6mA modification in eukaryotic genomes. Our previous data showed downregulated ALKBH1 in mouse and human fatty liver and increased DNA 6mA levels in mouse fatty liver. We developed liver-specific ALKBH1 knockout (AKO) mice to directly study the role of ALKBH1 mediated DNA 6mA modification during the development of hepatic steatosis. Deletion of liver ALKBH1 promoted hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. Overexpression of ALKBH1 resulted in opposite phenotypes. To investigate the mechanism of ALKBH1 in regulating target gene expression. We performed ChIP-seq for identifying ALKBH1 binding sites on mouse hepatocytes genomes and validated its demethylase activity for DNA 6mA modification on the target genes via ChIP-qPCR assays.

Project description:DNA N6-methyladenosine (6mA) in eukaryotic genomes has recently been observed in diverse species. 6mA has been reported to associate with multiple physiological processes including embryonic development and tumorigenesis, and ALKBH1 is a primary 6mA demethylase in mouse and human cells. To research the roles of 6mA and its putative regulators such as putative ALKBH1 in the homeostatic maintenance of human stem cells and their differentiated derivatives, We generated ALKBH1-deficient human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). We next differentiated ALKBH1+/+ and ALKBH1-/- hESCs into human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs). Early-onset growth arrest of ALKBH1-/- hMSCs was observed, and increased apoptosis and enhanced migration ability were observed in ALKBH1-/- hVSMCs. However, liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis revealed no change in 6mA levels between ALKBH1+/+ and ALKBH1-/- hESCs, between ALKBH1+/+ and ALKBH1-/- hMSCs, and between ALKBH1+/+ and ALKBH1-/- hVSMCs, respectively. These data demonstrate that depletion of ALKBH1 exerts minimal impact on 6mA levels in hESCs and their differentiated derivatives and that ALKBH1 regulates the homeostasis of hMSCs and hVSMCs possibly in a DNA 6mA-independent manner.

Project description:It has widely accepted that 5-methylcytosine is the only form of DNA methylation in mammalian genomes, whereas the other forms, such as N6-methyladenine, primarily exist in prokaryotes and only a few eukaryotes. Herein, we demonstrated the surprising presence of N6-methyladenine in mammalian genomes, especially, mouse embryonic stem cells. This modification is enriched at histone variant H2A.X-deposited genomic regions in wild type embryonic stem cells. Our work also showed that a previously unknown DNA demethylase, Alkbh1, is the major demethylase for N6-methyladenine in embryonic stem cells. Increase of N6-methyladenine levels in Alkbh1 deficient cells leads to silencing of genes that regulate embryonic development. Surprisingly, genes located on the X-chromosome, but not the Y-chromosome or autosomes are preferentially silenced by N6-methyladenine. Strikingly, N6-methyladenine in Alkbh1 deficient cells are specifically deposition at young, full-length subfamilies of LINE1 transposons that are strongly enriched on the X chromosome. Furthermore, N6-methyladenine deposition on LINE1s pattern is inversely correlated with their evolutionary age. The deposition of N6-methyladenine results in epigenetic silencing of such L1s, which are otherwise actively transcribed in wild type embryonic stem cells, and the neighboring enhancers and genes. Furthermore, N6-methyladenine induced-silencing resists gene activation signals during embryonic stem cell differentiation. Thus, N6-methyladenine adopts a new function in epigenetic silencing in evolution, distinct from its role in gene activation in other organisms. In summary, our results demonstrate that N6-methyladenine unexpectedly constitutes a crucial component of the epigenetic regulation repertoire in mammalian genomes.

First, we used different histone antibodies to enrich for DNA molecules with histone modification or specific variant in mouse ESCs as previously described Native-ChIP methods. Then, co-purified DNA molecules from WT or KO ESCs were subject to HiSeq2000 sequencing and data analysis for histone modification or variant peaks. Native ChIP coupling with HiSeq sequencing
