IDH2 mutation induced histone and DNA hypermethylation is progressively reversed by small molecule inhibition

ABSTRACT: Mutations of IDH1 (R132) and IDH2 (R172 and R140), which produce an oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), have been identified in several tumors including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recent studies have shown that expression of the IDH mutant enzymes results in high levels of 2HG and a block in cellular differentiation that can be reversed with IDH-mutant specific small molecule inhibitors. To further understand the role of IDH mutations in cancer, we conducted mechanistic studies in the TF-1/IDH2 R140Q erythroleukemia model system and found that IDH2 mutant expression caused both histone and genomic DNA methylation changes that can be reversed when IDH2 mutant activity is inhibited. Specifically, histone hypermethylation is rapidly reversed within days whereas reversal of DNA hypermethylation proceeds in a progressive manner over the course of weeks. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed several pathways involved in tumorigenesis of leukemia and lymphoma, indicating a selective modulation of relevant cancer genes by IDH mutations. As methylation of DNA and histones is closely linked to mRNA expression and differentiation, these results indicate that IDH2 mutant inhibition may function as a cancer therapy via short-term histone demethylation and long-term DNA demethylation at genes involved in differentiation and tumorigenesis. TF-1 cells with and without IDH2/R140Q expression were treated with DMSO or AGI-6780, an inhibitor of IDH2/R140Q for 7 to 28 days. Genomic DNA was extracted and analyzed by the Illumina 450k Methylation array.

Project description:Background: How prenatal smoke exposure affects DNA methylation leading to atopic disorders remains to be addressed. Epigenetic biomarkers informative of prenatal smoke exposure and atopic disorders are wanting. Since most children suffering from atopic dermatitis (AD) continue to develop asthma later in life, we explored whether prenatal smoke exposure e induces DNA methylation and searched for predictive epigenetic biomarkers for smoke related atopic disorders. Methods: Methylation differences associated with smoke exposure were screened by Illumina methylation panel for children from the Taiwan birth panel study cohort initially. Information about development of atopic dermatitis (AD) and risk factors were collected. Cord blood cotinine levels were measured to represent prenatal smoke exposure. CpG loci that demonstrated a statistically significant difference in methylation were validated by methylation-dependent fragment separation (MDFS). Differential methylation in three genes (TSLP, GSTT1, and CYB5R3) was identified through the screen and their functions were investigated. Results: Among these, only thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) gene displayed significant difference in promoter methylation percentage after being validated by MDFS (p=0.029). TSLP gene was further investigated in a larger sample of 92 children from the cohort. Methylation status of the TSLP 5′-CpG island (CGI) was found to be significantly associated with prenatal smoke exposure (OR=3.59, 95%CI=1.49-8.64; cotinine level 0.10 ng/ml, sensitivity= 77%; specificity = 61%) and with AD (OR=4.77, 95%CI=1.47-15.53). The degree of TSLP 5′CGI methylation inversely correlated with TSLP protein expression levels (per unit: β=－6.69 ng/ml; 95% CIs, －12.80~－0.59; p=0.032). Conclusions: The effect of prenatal tobacco smoke exposure on the risk for AD may be mediated through DNA methylation. Cord blood methylated TSLP 5′CGI may be a potential epigenetic biomarker for environmentally-related atopic disorders. The buffy coat and plasma samples were separated and stored at −80°C. DNA (100 ng-500 ng) was extracted from cord white blood cells. Microarrays have been performed to investigate fourteen samples, which were classified as two groups according to cotinine exposure dosage (7 versus 7 : high exposure verses low exposure).
