Project description:Our data provided a genome-wide DNA methylation landscape of human early development embryos, including human MII oocytes, sperm, zygotes, 2-cell to 8-cell embryos, morula, blastocyst and postimplantation embryos at single base resolution. In total, 44 samples including biological and technical replicates, from 12 different human embryo development stages were analyzed, including two metaphase II oocytes, two zygotes, three first polar bodies, two second polar bodies, four sperm samples, two 2-cell-stage embryos, two 4-cell-stage embryos, three 8-cell-stage embryos, three morulae, three inner cell masses (ICMs) and three trophectoderms (TEs) seperated from late blastocysts, and three post-implantation embryos. In addition, 12 different human embryo development stages were analyzed, including metaphase II oocytes, zygotes, first polar bodies, second polar bodies, sperm samples, 2-cell-stage embryos, 4-cell-stage embryos, 8-cell-stage embryos, morulae, inner cell masses (ICMs) and trophectoderms (TEs) seperated from late blastocysts, and post-implantation embryos.

Project description:Differentiated cell can be reprogrammed into totipotent embryo through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, this process is highly inefficient and most cloned embryos arrest at certain developmental stages. Through single cell sequencing combined with embryo biopsy, here we generate a global map of DNA methylome and RNA transcriptome for SCNT embryos with distinct developmental fates. We subsequently demonstrate that the unfaithful reactivation of two histone demethylases, Kdm4b and Kdm5b, accounts for the arrest of cloned embryos at 2-cell and 4-cell stage, respectively. Ectopic expression of Kdm4b and Kdm5b in SCNT can remove H3K9me3 barrier, restore the transcription profile and facilitate the blastocyst developmental efficiency over 95%. Moreover, these cloned embryos can further support full-term development and the derivation of SCNT-embryonic stem cells with greater efficiency. Our study reveals that histone methylation reset is crucial for the development of SCNT embryos, which provides a clue to further improve therapeutic cloning. For SCNT embryos 4-8 replicates were performed for each stage . As the control, 3 replicates were performed for each stage of wild type samples

Project description:During mammalian development DNA methylation patterns need to be reset in primordial germ cells (PGC) and preimplantation embryos. However, many retro-transposons and imprinted genes are resistant to such global epigenetic reprogramming via hitherto undefined mechanisms. Here, we report that some of these sequences are immune to widespread erasure of DNA methylation in the mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) lacking de novo DNA methyltransferases. Persistence of DNA methylation at these loci in mESCs depends on the histone H3K9 methyltransferase Setdb1, as deletion of Setdb1 results in reduction of H3K9me3 and DNA methylation levels concomitant with an increase in 5-hydroxymethylation (5hmC). In addition, depletion of H3K9 methyltransferase G9a leads to genome-wide reduction of DNA methylation but to a lesser extent at the above sequences. Taken together, these data reveal that Setdb1 ensures the fidelity of DNA methylation at specific loci in mESCs, which may reflect mechanisms functioning in vivo during key developmental stages. Examination of genome-wide DNA methylation status in 3 cell types.

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the DNA methylation levels of 4799 IAP LTRs in three murine cell types: AB2.2 ES cells, somatic cells and a neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2A. According to the results, half of the IAP LTR retrotransposons show constant methylation patterns between the three cell types whereas the remaining half display variable levels of methylation. About half of the variably methylated IAP LTRs tend to be hypomethylated in ES cells, and nearly all of this group are hypomethylated in Neuro2A cells. Interestingly, the observed hypomethylation in both cell types occur in a non-uniform, locus-specific manner and to various degrees of severity, with some of them being easily detectible by COBRA. Overall, this study demonstrates the feasibility of HT-TREBS to study alterations in DNA methylation at retrotransposons in a locus-specific manner in multiple cell types and further suggests the potential utility of this technique in developing epigenetic biomarkers for tracking disease progression. HT-TREBS has been used with the Ion Torrent PGM platform to analyze the DNA methylation of 4799 IAP LTRs in a locus-specific manner in 3 cell types: somatic cells (previously submitted under GEO Accession GSE49222), AB2.2 ES cells and Neuro2A cells

Project description:In this study, we mapped modification of lysine 4 and lysine 27 of histone H3 genome-wide in a series of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) varying in DNA methylation levels based on knock-out and reconstitution of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). We extend previous studies showing cross-talk between DNA methylation and histone modifications by examining a breadth of histone modifications, causal relationships, and direct effects. Our data shows a causal regulation of H3K27me3 at gene promoters as well as H3K27ac and H3K27me3 at tissue-specific enhancers. We also identify isoform differences between DNMT family members. This study provides a comprehensive resource for the study of the complex interplay between DNA methylation and histone modification landscape. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) performed on wild-type, Dnmt triple knock-out (Dnmt1/3a/3b; TKO), Dnmt double knock-out (Dnmt3a/3b; DKO), and respective reconstitution mouse embryonic stem cell lines.

Project description:We report a method for specific capture of an arbitrary subset of genomic targets for single molecule bisulfite sequencing, and for digital quantitation of DNA methylation at a single nucleotide resolution. We used targeted bisulfite sequencing to characterize the changes of DNA methylation during the de-differentiation of human fibroblasts into hybrid stem cells, and into induced pluripotent stem cells. We compared the methylation level of approximately 66,000 CpG sites within 2020 CpG islands on chromosome 12, chromosome 20, and 34 selected regions. A total of 288 differentially methylated regions were identified between fibroblasts and pluripotent cells. Methylation cluster analysis revealed distinct methylation patterns between fibroblasts and pluripotent cells. Furthermore iPS cells are globally more methylated than human embryonic stem cells, which could be due to the reprogramming process. This targeted bisulfite sequencing method is particularly useful for efficient and large-scale analysis of DNA methylation in organisms with large genomes. Experiment Overall Design: Comparison of DNA methylation on 2020 CpG islands and 34 other selected regions among eleven human ES, iPS and fibroblast lines.

Project description:DNA methylation of C5-cytosine (5mC) in the mammalian genome is a key epigenetic event that is critical for various cellular processes. However, how the genome-wide 5mC pattern is dynamically regulated remains a fundamental question in epigenetic biology. The TET family of 5mC hydroxylases, which convert 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), have provided a new potential mechanism for the dynamic regulation of DNA methylation. The extent to which individual Tet family members contribute to the genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC patterns and associated gene network remains largely unknown. Here we report genome-wide mapping of Tet1 and 5hmC in mESCs and reveal a mechanism of action by which Tet1 controls 5hmC and 5mC levels in mESCs. In combination with microarray and mRNA-seq expression profiling, we identify a comprehensive yet intricate gene network influenced by Tet1. We propose a model whereby Tet1 controls DNA methylation both by binding to CpG-rich regions to prevent unwanted DNA methyltransferase activity, and by converting the existing 5mC to 5hmC through its enzymatic activity. This Tet1-mediated antagonism of CpG methylation imparts differential maintenance of DNA methylation status at Tet1 target loci, thereby providing a new regulatory mechanism for establishing the epigenetic landscape of mESCs, which ultimately contributes to mESC differentiation and the onset of embryonic development. To determine the genome-wide DNA methylation changes caused by Tet1 depletion in mouse ES cells. Tet1 protein was depleted by specific siRNA treatment. The DNA methylation levels in control and Tet1 siRNA-transfected ES cells were determined by targeted bisulfite sequencing.

Project description:Direct lineage conversion is a promising approach to generate therapeutically important cell types for disease modeling and tissue repair. However, it is often unclear whether lineage-reprogrammed cells remain stable long-term and whether the properties of the reprogrammed cells evolve over time. Here, using an improved method of converting pancreatic acinar cells to beta-cells, we show that induced beta-cells persist in the adult pancreas for up to 14 months and form islet-like structures. Detailed analyses of induced cells over 7 months reveal that global DNA methylation changes occur rapidly whereas transcription network remodeling evolves over two months to resemble that of endogenous beta-cells and then stabilizes thereafter. Progressive gain of beta-cell function by converted cells during the 7 month period coincides with both transcriptional changes and the formation of islet-like structures. These studies demonstrate the ability of lineage-reprogrammed cells to achieve a stable state and identify key cellular and molecular milestones during their long-term evolution. Acinar cells and beta cells were collected as control, as well as induced beta cell samples at day 10, day 30, day 60, and 7 months
