Project description:In this study, we show that by simple modulation of extrinsic signaling pathways, a new class of pluripotent stem cells, referred to as region selective epiblast stem cells (rsEpiSCs), could be efficiently derived from different stages of the early embryo. rsEpiSCs share features of primed pluripotency yet are distinct from EpiSCs in their molecular characteristics and ability to colonize post-implantation embryos. We performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) experiments to compare the DNA methylation landscapes of conventional EpiSCs and rsEpiSCs. Compare the DNA methylation profiles in 2 pluripotent stem cell types (LP-EpiSCs and conventional EpiSCs) in mouse. Two replicates are examined for each cell type.

Project description:Aspergillus flavus first gained scientific attention for its production of aflatoxin, the most potent naturally occurring toxin and hepatocarcinogenic secondary metabolite. For several decades, The DNA methylation status of A. flavus remains to be controversial. We first applied bisulfite sequencing, the gold standard at present, in conjunction with a biological replicate strategy to investigate the DNA methylation profiling of A. flavus genome. Our results reveal that the DNA methylation level of this fungus turns out to be negligible, comparable to the unmethylated lambda DNA we set as the false positive control of our bisulfite experiments. When comparing the DNA methyltransferase homolog of A. flauvs with that from several selected hypermethylated speices, we find that the DNA methyltransferase homolog of A.flavus as well as the other Aspergillus members groups closely with the RID from Neurospora crassa and Masc1 from Ascobolus immerses, which has been reported as DMT-incapable, but it diverges distantly from the other capable DNA methyltransferases. We observe significant depletion of repeat components within the A. flavus, which may possibly explain the lack of DNA methylation in this fungus. What's more, the RIP-index of the repeat of A. flavus turns out to be higher than the fungi without RID-like enzyme, suggesting this asexual fungus may possibly possess RIP process during the obscure sexual-stage which is very evanescent and may potentially related to DNA methylation. This work contributes to our understanding on the DNA methylation status of A. flavus. Also, it reinforces our views on the DNA methylation in fungal species. What's more, our strategy of applying bisulfite sequencing to DNA methylation detection on species with low DNA methylation may serve as a reference for later scientific investigations on other hypomethylated species. Two replicates were subjected to bisulfite conversion independently, unmethylated lambda DNA as a false positive control is added to both replicates.

Project description:Significant interest has been devoted to the isolation of human pluripotent stem cells displaying the naive state of mouse embryonic stem cells. However, to what extent naive human cells isolated in culture resemble pluripotent cells in vivo remains unclear. Here we present three lines of evidence indicating that naive pluripotent stem cells generated in the absence of transgenes share defining molecular signatures with the human pre-implantation embryo. First, a comprehensive analysis of the transposcriptome reveals that naive human cells have a retroelement expression profile of human cleavage stage embryos. Second, base-resolution mapping of the DNA methylome in naive human cells reveals a genome-wide reduction in CpG and non-CpG methylation levels. Third, female naive cells exhibit an X chromosome status that is similar to that of the human blastocyst. Our work demonstrates that pluripotent stem cells with epigenomic hallmarks of the early human embryo can be directly captured in vitro.

Project description:Next generation DNA sequencing of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient samples has revealed novel recurrent mutations while at the same time highlighting the genetic heterogeneity of the disease. These observations suggest that an extraordinarily large number of combinations of mutations can contribute to leukemogenesis. In order to address the question of the contribution of patient genetic background to AML we have developed a model system to generate multiple human leukemias in a single donorâs genetic background. Stepwise RNA-seq data from this model shows that in the context of AML driven by the MLL-AF9 (MA9) oncogene, the genetic background of the donor does not have a detectable effect. Comparison of these model leukemias from multiple single donors to AML patient samples containing MA9 translocations revealed conserved gene expression patterns not previously highlighted in this genetic sub-type. We further demonstrate that the expression of one of these genes, RET, is essential both in vivo and in vitro growth of MA9 AMLs . study of methylome during the development of MLL-AF9 AML

Project description:Cytosine methylation in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster has been elusive and controversial: methylcytosine has been detected at very low levels in early embryos, but the genomic location and function of methylation has not been established. We have mapped cytosine methylation genomewide in Stage 5 Drosophila embryo DNA by combining immuno-enrichment for 5-methylcytosine, bisulfite conversion, and deep sequencing. Unlike methylation patterns observed in other eukaryotic species, methylation in Drosophila is punctate and highly strand-asymmetrical; we confirmed this by direct PCR amplification and sequencing of bisulfite-converted DNA. Despite the locally asymmetric nature of methylation, large-scale patterns of methylation are symmetric. Methylated regions make up ~1% of the genome, and within these regions methylation of individual cytosines averages 2-10%. Methylation is concentrated in specific 5-base sequence motifs that are CA- and CT-rich but depleted of guanine. It is depleted from promoters, coding sequences, and most retrotransposons, and enriched in introns and in certain simple sequence repeats containing the commonly methylated motifs. Comparison with available gene expression data indicates that methylation in a gene is associated with lower expression; the X chromosome, which is subject to gene dosage compensation, is more densely methylated than the autosomes. This study firmly establishes the presence of cytosine methylation in Drosophila; the temporal overlap of methylation with the maternal-zygotic transition raises the possibility that methylation participates in the transition to zygotic gene expression. To enrich for rare cytosine methylation in Drosophila at embryonic Stage 5 (2-3 hours post-fertilization), we enriched sonicated Stage 5 genomic DNA for methylcytosine by immunoprecipitation with antibody to 5-methylcytosine. The immunoprecipitated DNA was then bisulfite converted and Illumina sequenced to obtain direct evidence for the presence of methylation. The presence and extent of DNA methylation was confirmed by Illumina sequencing of bisulfite-converted PCR amplicons.

Project description:We have developed Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) of a newborn and a centenarian to address the epigenetic drifts in human aging, which might be an alternative pathway to explain the age-associated alterations. In addition, we have analyzed the methylome of a middle-age donor (26 years). Examination of two DNA methylomes at the most extreme points of their lives to see differences that might contribute to explain the aged phenotype. The methylome of a middle-age donor (26 years) was also analyzed.

Project description:The immunodeficiency, centromere instability and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is associated with mutation of the DNA methyl-transferase DNMT3B, resulting in a reduction of enzyme activity. Aberrant expression of immune system genes and hypomethylation of pericentromeric regions accompanied by chromosomal instability were determined as alterations driving the disease phenotype. However, so far only technologies capable of analyzing single loci were applied to determine epigenetic alterations in ICF patients. In the current study, we performed whole-genome bisulphite sequencing to assess alteration in DNA methylation at base-pair resolution. Whole-genome bisulphite sequencing was performed to assess alteration in DNA methylation of one ICF patient and one healthy control sample at base-pair resolution.

Project description:In this work, we characterized the epigenomic integrity of 17 hiPSC lines derived from six different cell types with varied reprogramming efficiencies. We demonstrate that epigenetic aberrations are a general feature of the hiPSC state and are independent of the somatic cell source. Additionally, we determine that both shared and line-specific epigenetic aberrations in hiPSCs can directly translate into changes in gene expression in both the pluripotent and differentiated states. Examination of differential methylation between iPSC and ESCs through differentiated states. Examination of differential methylation between iPSC and somatic cell source and iPSC and ESCs.

Project description:To elucidate the transcriptional and epigenetic alterations underlying the neurogenic defects of FA-NSCs, we conducted gene expression microarray analysis and global DNA methylation profiling. The gene expression pattern of gene-corrected NSCs (C-FA-NSCs) resembled that of control-NSCs but clustered distantly from FA-NSCs (Fig. 6F and Table S1). Hierarchical clustering based on DNA methylation levels in the promoter region (+/-1.5kb from TSS) of genes whose expression levels were rescued in C-FA-NSCs, placed C-FA-NSCs closer to control-NSCs and away from FA-NSCs (Fig. 6G), although this pattern was not seen at the whole genome level (Fig. S4C). This suggests that FANCA gene correction leads to specific methylation changes in a subset of promoters. Examination of the methylomes of NSCs derived from Fanconi Anemia iPSCs before and after gene correction by targeted bisulfite sequencing with padlock probes
