DNA methylation of dnmt3a deficient Kras lung tumors and dnmt3a wt Kras lung tumors

ABSTRACT: To examine whether Dnmt3a deficiency resulted in genomic methylation changes we performed an unbiased methylome analysis. Methylated DNA isolated from three Dnmt3a deficient and two WT tumors was immunoprecipitated and subjected to high throughput sequencing (MeDIP-Seq). We observed that genes that were less expressed in Dnmt3a deficient tumors tended to have lower methylation levels in gene bodies. Examination of methylcytosine in two tumor types

Alterations in DNA methylation have been associated with genome-wide hypomethylation and regional de novo methylation in numerous cancers. De novo methylation is mediated by the de novo methyltransferases Dnmt3a and 3b, but only Dnmt3b has been implicated in promoting cancer by silencing of tumor-suppressor genes. In this study, we have analyzed the role of Dnmt3a in lung cancer by using a conditional mouse tumor model. We show that Dnmt3a deficiency significantly promotes tumor growth and progr ...[more]

Project description:During differentiation, neurons experience a reorganization of DNA modification patterns within their genomes. However, the mechanisms underlying this developmental patterning and its role in defining the neuronaÂÂl state are currently unclear. Here, we find that the dÂÂe novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a is necessary for elevated levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a derivative of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Through an analysis of genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC distributions in isolated OSNs, we find that Dnmt3a-dependent 5mC and 5hmC occurs within regions of high accessibility, neural enhancers, and the transcription start sites of transcribed genes. Its loss results in the global disruption of gene expression patterns, including the upregulation of silent genes, the downregulation of mOSN-expressed genes, and the alteration of odorant-induced transcriptional responses of immediate early genes. Together, these results demonstrate that Dnmt3a is necessary to define the neuronal transcriptional state and may be broadly involved in refining expression profiles within differentiated cells. To determine the contributions of Dnmt3a to the DNA modification and transcriptional landscapes of a post-mitotic neuronal population, we performed DNA immunoprecipitation (DIP-seq) using antibodies specific for 5mC and 5hmC and rRNA-depleted transcriptional profiling (RNA-seq) coupled to high-throughput sequencing using genomic DNA or RNA from FACS-isolated mature olfactory sensory neurons (mOSNs) from main olfactory epithelium (MOE) of Dnmt3a wildtype (WT), heterozygous-null (Het), or homozygous-null (KO) 3-week old mice. Similarly, to compare this information with other epigenetic features of the MOE, we performed H3K4me1 (WT), H3K27ac (WT), and H3K27me3 (WT and KO) chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq and DNase I hypersensitivity assays (DNase-seq) using MOE nuclei from 3-week old mice. In addition, we assayed the influence of Dnmt3a-deficiency on the induction of odorant-responsive genes by exposing 3-week old Dnmt3a WT, Het, and KO mice to either water or a 1:1:1 mixture of amyl acetate:acetophenone:octanal for 1 hour and performed rRNA-depleted RNA-seq using RNA isolated from their MOEs.
