RRHP : a tag-based approach for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine mapping at single-site resolution

ABSTRACT: We present here a novel approach called Reduced Representation 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Profiling (RRHP), which exploits ?-glucosyltransferase (?-GT) to inhibit restriction digestion at adapters ligated to a genomic library, such that only fragments presenting glucosylated 5hmC residues at adapter junctions will be amplified and sequenced. This assay profiles 5hmC sites with single-base resolution in a strand-specific manner. The absence of harsh chemical conversion steps allows for sequencing of native DNA with less inputs, enhancing both sequencing quality and mapping efficiency. Most importantly, the method proves highly reproducible and is a positive display method, sensitive enough to interrogate 5hmC sites with low abundance. When combined with existing RRBS data, it allows simultaneous comparison of 5mC and 5hmC at specific site. developing a new assay for genomic profiling of 5hmC

Current methods for genomic mapping of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) have been limited by either costly sequencing depth, high DNA input, or lack of single-base resolution. We present an approach called Reduced Representation 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Profiling (RRHP) to map 5hmC sites at single-base resolution by exploiting the use of beta-glucosyltransferase to inhibit enzymatic digestion at the junction where adapters are ligated to a genomic library. Therefore, only library fragments presenti ...[more]

Acute depletion of Tet1-dependent 5-hydroxymethylcytosine levels impairs LIF/Stat3 signaling and results in loss of embryonic stem cell identity [MRE-seq]

Project description:The TET family of FE(II) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzymes (Tet1/2/3) promote DNA demethylation by converting 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), which they further oxidize into 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine. Tet1 is robustly expressed in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and has been implicated in mESC maintenance. Here we demonstrate that, unlike genetic deletion, RNAi-mediated depletion of Tet1 in mESCs led to a significant reduction in 5hmC and loss of mESC identity. The differentiation phenotype due to Tet1 depletion positively correlated with the extent of 5hmC loss. Meta-analyses of genomic datasets suggested interaction between Tet1 and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) signaling. LIF signaling is known to promote self-renewal and pluripo-tency in mESCs partly by opposing MAPK/ERK mediated differentiation. Withdrawal of LIF leads to differentiation of mESCs. We discovered that Tet1 depletion impaired LIF-dependent Stat3-mediated gene activation by affecting Stat3's ability to bind to its target sites on chromatin. Nanog overexpression or inhibition of MAPK/ERK signaling, both known to maintain mESCs in the absence of LIF, rescued Tet1 depletion, further supporting the dependence of LIF/Stat3 signaling on Tet1. These data support the conclusion that analysis of mESCs in the hours/days immediately following efficient Tet1 depletion reveals Tet1’s normal physiological role in maintaining the pluripotent state that may be subject to homeostatic compensation in genetic models. Genome-wide mapping of 5hmC and microarray gene expression profiling in E14Tg2a mESCs after transfection with indicated siRNAs: Tet1 siRNA #1 (Invitrogen, MSS284895), Tet1 siRNA #2 (Invitrogen, MSS284897), and Control siRNA duplex targeting firefly luciferase.

Tet1 is a tumor suppressor of hematopoietic malignancy

Project description:Epigenetic pathways that regulate DNA methylation and chromatin modifications are frequently found to be dysregulated in human cancers. The TET methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1) enzyme is an important regulator of hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in embryonic stem cells, neural progenitors,adult cells and reprogrammed cells. Decreased expression of TET proteins and loss of 5hmC has been reported in many tumors, suggesting a critical role for the maintenance of this epigenetic modification in normal cellular function. However, loss of TET1 function in the etiology of cancer has not been directly investigated. Here, we show that deletion of the Tet1 gene promotes the development of B cell lymphoma. Tet1 is required for maintaining normal levels of 5hmC, preventing aberrant DNA hypermethylation and for the regulation of transcriptional programs involved in B-cell lineage specification, chromosome maintenance, and DNA repair. Progenitor B cells in the absence of Tet1 accumulate DNA damage and whole-exome sequencing of Tet1-deficient tumors revealed a high correlation of mutations with those most frequently found in Non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma (B-NHL) patients. In addition, we show that the TET1 gene is deleted, hypermethylated and transcriptionally silenced in B-NHL patients. These findings provide the first in vivo evidence of TET1 function as a tumor suppressor of hematopoietic malignancy. We did hydroxymethylation tests for two wild type mice and two Tet1 knockout mice.

Phyloepigenetic comparison of apes

Project description:We have determined methylation state differences in the epigenomes of neutrophils purified from human and chimpanzee. We used deep sequencing of ends generated by digestion with a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme, followed by analysis with the MetMap computational pipeline to infer methylation states from the sequencing data. Using the orangutan as an outgroup, analysis of DNA sequence substitutions in CG-dense regions that are either methylated or unmethylated in all three species indicates that methylation states in the neutrophil reflect methylation states in the germline. Differences in methylation states were not correlated with differences in the local genomic sequences, indicating that they can be determined independently of local DNA sequence. Methylation differences were not distributed randomly among the individuals we analyzed, but recapitulated the known phylogenetic relationships of the three species in a pattern consistent with their stable inheritance. This data provide the first comprehensive dataset indicating that epigenetic states are maintained as independent characters that are predictably transmitted within species. Heritable epigenetic differences such as those we have identified could readily have functional and adaptive consequences, and contribute to the phenotypic divergence of human and chimpanzee.

A unique regulatory phase of DNA methylation in the early mammalian embryo

Project description:DNA methylation is highly dynamic during mammalian embryogenesis. It is broadly accepted that the paternal genome is actively depleted of global cytosine methylation at fertilization, followed by passive depletion that reaches a minimum at the blastocyst stage. However, this model is based on limited data, and to date no base-resolution maps exist to support and refine it. Here, we generated genome-scale DNA methylation maps in mouse gametes and through post-implantation embryogenesis. We find that the oocyte already exhibits global hypomethylation, most prominently at specific subfamilies of LINE-1 and LTR-containing retro-elements, which are disparate between gametes and resolve to lower methylation values in zygote. Surprisingly, the oocyte contributes a unique set of Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs), including many CpG Island promoter regions, that are maintained in the early embryo but are lost at the onset of embryonic specification and absent in somatic cells. In contrast, sperm contributed methylation includes retrotransposons that become completely methylated after the blastocyst stage. Our data provide a complete genome-scale, base-resolution timeline of DNA methylation in the pre-specified embryo, when this epigenetic modification is most dynamic and before returning to the canonical somatic pattern.

Gene body 5-hydroxymethylcytosine facilitates transcription in olfactory neurons

Project description:The modified DNA base 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is enriched in neurons where it may contribute to gene function and cellular identity. To address this issue in an in vivo neuronal population, we assessed the patterning, stability, and function of the base within gene bodies in olfactory sensory neurons. We find that gene body 5hmC linearly correlates with transcriptional output and is stable in fully mature neurons and those lacking de novo methyltransferase activity. Overexpression of Tet3, which oxidizes methylated cytosines (5mC) to 5hmC, markedly alters gene body 5hmC levels and provides evidence that 5hmC facilitates transcription. This manipulation disrupts olfactory receptor expression and the targeting of axons to the olfactory bulb, key molecular and anatomical features of the olfactory system that are necessary for proper physiology. Our results support a direct, positive and physiologically significant role for gene body 5hmC in transcriptional elongation and the maintenance of cellular identity independent of its function as an intermediate to demethylation. We assessed the role of 5hmC in mature olfactory sensory neurons by assessing 5hmC levels in 2 month old neurons, olfactory epithelia lacking Dnmt3a, and mOSNs overexpressing Tet3. To determine genome-wide levels of 5hmC, we performed DNA immunoprecipitation coupled to Illumina sequencing. To determine transcript levels, we prepared and sequenced rRNA-depleted cDNA libraries.

Quantitative sequencing of 5-formylcytosine in DNA at single-base resolution

Project description:Cytosine base modifications 5-methylcytosine (5mC), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and 5-formylcytosine (5fC) are present in mammalian DNA. Here, reduced bisulfite sequencing is developed for quantitatively sequencing 5fC at single-base resolution. This method is then applied with oxidative bisulfite sequencing to gain a map of 5mC, 5hmC and 5fC in mouse embryonic stem cells. 12 samples, reduced representation bisulphite treatment: 4 replicates each for bisulphite (BS), oxidative BS (oxBS) and reduced BS (redBS) for the detection of 5mC, 5hmC and 5fC.

The developmental patterning of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine during neuronal differentiation

Project description:Recent analyses of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) suggest that the modified base influences transcription by acting as an intermediate to demethylation. However, elevated levels of 5hmC within neural tissues suggest that the mark is stable and may directly contribute to gene regulation. Here, we characterize the in vivo genomic patterning and stability of 5hmC in three defined developmental states of the mouse main olfactory epithelium – multipotent stem cells, neuronal progenitors, and mature olfactory sensory neurons. 5hmC is globally enriched in neuronal progenitors and neurons relative to the stem population with significant enrichment on the bodies of transcriptionally active genes and intergenic enhancers. Although gene body 5hmC levels are positively correlated with cell type-specific gene expression in all developmental stages, genes that are commonly expressed within both neuronal progenitors and mature neurons experience the greatest increases in 5hmC levels. Moreover, enriched levels of the modified base on intergenic conserved regions correlate with cell type-specific expression of nearby genes and coincide with developmentally regulated enhancer-promoter interaction at one locus examined. Finally, an analysis of two-month old neurons indicates that elevated 5hmC levels persist in fully differentiated neurons. Together, these data suggest that 5hmC stabilizes the expression of developmentally active genes through effects at both gene bodies and intergenic regulatory elements. 9 Samples

Single base resolution analysis of 5-formyl and 5-carboxyl cytosine reveals the actual promoter DNA methylation dynamics in embryonic stem cells [RRBS]

Project description:DNA methylation is catalysed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and is necessary for a correct embryonic development. On the other hand, the DNA demethylation is mediated by the Ten Eleven Translocation (Tet) proteins through oxidation of 5-methyl cytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxyl (5hmC), 5-formyl (5fC) and 5-carboxyl (5caC) cytosine, and by the Thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) that excises the 5fC and 5caC. In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), gene promoters are maintained in an hypomethylated state, but the dynamics of this phenomenon still remains unknown. Here we present a genome-wide approach, named methylation-assisted bisulfite sequencing (MAB-Seq) that enables single-base resolution mapping of 5fC and 5caC and measuring of their relative abundance. Application of this method to mouse ESCs exposed the presence of 5fcaC residues on the hypomethylated promoters of the expressed genes, revealing an active DNA demethylation mechanism since the loss of TDG leads to an increase of 5fC/5caC. We also show that TDG is actually bound on these regions and that co-localizes and interacts with Tet1. We moreover demonstrate, by reduced representation of bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), that active promoters are actually demethylated by a Tet-dependent mechanism and that Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a are responsible of this DNA methylation. Our work shows the whole-genome map of 5fC and 5caC at single base resolution in ESCs, it demonstrates in detail the DNA methylation dynamics occurring on expressed gene promoters and identifies the key players of this mechanism. Furthermore, we provide a new tool (MAB-Seq) that can be broadly used in all biological contexts for epigenetics study involving identification and quantification of 5fC and 5caC at single base resolution.

Cytosine methylation data generated by HELP-tagging from human osteosarcoma biopsy samples

Project description:Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children. Validated markers for disease prognosis available at diagnosis are lacking. No genome-wide DNA methylation studies linked to clinical outcomes have been reported in osteosarcoma. To address this, we tested the methylome at over 1.1 million loci in 15 osteosarcoma biopsy samples obtained prior to the initiation of therapy and correlated these molecular data with disease outcomes. At the tested loci, samples obtained from patients who experienced disease relapse were generally more methylated than those from patients who did not have recurrence. In samples from patients who went on to have recurrent disease, increased DNA methylation was found at gene bodies, intergenic regions and empirically-annotated candidate enhancers, whereas candidate gene promoters were unusual for a more balanced distribution of increased and decreased DNA methylation. A locus at the TLR4 gene demonstrates one of strongest associations between DNA methylation and five year event-free survival, with empirical annotation of this locus showing promoter characteristics. Our data indicate that DNA methylation information has potential to be predictive of outcome in pediatric osteosarcoma, and that both promoters and non-promoter loci are potentially informative in DNA methylation studies. 15 samples. HpaII libraries were compared to at least 3 MspI libraries from the same sample

Ontogeny, distribution and potential roles of hydroxymethylcytosine in human liver function

Project description:Background: Interindividual differences in liver functions such as protein synthesis, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and drug metabolism are influenced by epigenetic factors. The role of the epigenetic machinery in such processes has, however, been barely investigated. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is a recently re-discovered epigenetic DNA modification that plays an important role in the control of gene expression. Results: In this study, we investigate 5hmC occurrence and genomic distribution in 8 fetal and 7 adult human liver samples in relation to ontogeny and function. LC-MS analysis shows that in the adult liver samples 5hmc comprises up to 1% of the total cytosine content, whereas in all fetal livers it is below 0.125%. Immunohistostaining of liver sections with a polyclonal anti-5hmC antibody shows that 5hmC is detected in most of the hepatocytes. Genome-wide mapping of the distribution of 5hmC in human liver samples by next-generation sequencing shows significant differences between fetal and adult livers. In adult livers, 5hmC occupancy is overrepresented in genes involved in active catabolic and metabolic processes, whereas 5hmC elements which are found in genes exclusively in fetal livers and disappear in the adult state, are more specific to pathways for differentiation and development. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine plays an important role in the development and function of the human liver and might be an important determinant for development of liver diseases as well as of the interindividual differences in drug metabolism and toxicity. 8 fetal and 7 adult human liver samples
