Developmental enhancers revealed by extensive DNA methylome maps of zebrafish early embryos (MRE-seq)

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation undergoes dynamic changes during development and cell differentiation. Recent genome-wide studies discovered that tissue-specific differentially methylated regions (DMRs) often overlap tissue-specific distal cis-regulatory elements. However, developmental DNA methylation dynamics of the majority of the genomic CpGs outside gene promoters and CpG islands has not been extensively characterized. Here we generate and compare comprehensive DNA methylome maps of zebrafish developing embryos. From these maps, we identify thousands of developmental stage-specific DMRs (dsDMRs) across zebrafish developmental stages. The dsDMRs contain evolutionarily conserved sequences, are associated with developmental genes and are marked with active enhancer histone posttranslational modifications. Their methylation pattern correlates much stronger than promoter methylation with expression of putative target genes. When tested in vivo using a transgenic zebrafish assay, 20 out of 20 selected candidate dsDMRs exhibit functional enhancer activities. Our data suggest that developmental enhancers are a major target of DNA methylation changes during embryogenesis. MRE profiles of sperm and 2.5-hpf, 3.5-hpf, 4.5-hpf, 6-hpf and 24-hpf embryos were generated using Illumina HiSeq sequencing.

Active DNA demethylation during the vertebrate phylotypic period

Project description:The vertebrate body plan and organs are shaped during a highly conserved embryonic phase called the phylotypic stage, however the mechanisms that guide the epigenome through this transition and their evolutionary conservation remain elusive. Here we report widespread DNA demethylation of thousands of enhancers during the phylotypic period in zebrafish, Xenopus and mouse. These dynamic enhancers are linked to essential developmental genes that display coordinated transcriptional and epigenomic changes in the diverse vertebrates during embryogenesis. Phylotypic stage-specific binding of Tet proteins to (hydroxy)methylated DNA, and enrichment of hydroxymethylcytosine on these enhancers, implicated active DNA demethylation in this process. Furthermore, loss of function of Tet1/2/3 in zebrafish caused reduced chromatin accessibility and increased methylation levels specifically on these enhancers, indicative of DNA methylation being an upstream regulator of phylotypic enhancer function. Overall, our study reveals a novel regulatory module associated with the most conserved phase of vertebrate embryogenesis and uncovers an ancient developmental role for the Tet dioxygenases.

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.

Marking of the genome by H3K4 methylation prior to embryonic gene activation

Project description:Early zebrafish embryo development proceeds first from a maternally transcribed and stored mRNAs, and zygotic gene activation (ZGA) is initiated at the mid-blastula transition (MBT; 1000-cell stage), 3.3 h post-fertilization. Very little is known on how the zygotic genome is programmed for transcriptional activation at the MBT. To start addressing this issue, we have mapped by ChIP-chip genome-wide promoter histone methylation (H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3) and RNA Pol II profiles before ZGA (256-cell stage; 2.5 hpf), during ZGA (MBT; 3.5 hpf)) and after ZGA (Post-MBT; 5.3 hpf) . We used a custom 2.1M probe HD promoter array (Nimblegen) for ChIP and input DNA hybridization. Peak detection was done using MA2C with P=10e-4 as cutoff. ChIP-chip experiments were performed from chromatin prepared by sonication after formaldehyde cross-linking, from embryos are the indicated developmental stages and ChIP DNA was hybridized onto the aforementioned Nimbegen promoter arrays.

The S-adenosyl-homosteine hydrolase inhibitor DZNeP unspecifically affects histone methylation patterns in embryos and results in developmental aberrations

Project description:3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNeP) is a promising cancer drug affecting the methylation status of histone lysine residues. To investigate the specificity and mode of action of DZNeP, zebrafish embryos displaying high histone methyltransferase activity were cultured with DZNeP and histone methylation (H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K27me3) was mapped by ChIP-chip genome-wide promoter at post-MBT stage (5.3 hpf) . We used a custom 2.1M probe HD promoter array (Nimblegen) for ChIP and input DNA hybridization. Peak detection was done using MA2C with P=10e-4 as cutoff. ChIP-chip experiments were performed from chromatin prepared by sonication after formaldehyde cross-linking, from embryos are the indicated developmental stages and ChIP DNA was hybridized onto the aforementioned Nimbegen promoter arrays.

Effect of 17 M-NM-2-estradiol on developing zebrafish embryos

Project description:Estrogen signaling is important for vertebrate embryonic development. Here we have used zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a vertebrate model to identify estrogen regulated genes during the first 4 days of development. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to 1 M-BM-5M 17M-NM-2-estradiol from 3 hours post fertilization to 4 days post fertilization, harvested daily and subjected to RNA extraction for transcriptome analysis using microarrays. Estrogen responsive genes were analyzed with hierarchical clustering followed by gene function and tissue expression analysis. Markedly distinct sets of genes were up and down-regulated by estrogen treatment at different time points. Among these genes, only the well-known estrogenic marker vtg1 was co-regulated at all time points. Despite this, the biological functional categories targeted by estrogen were similar throughout zebrafish development. Estrogen responsive genes were enriched mainly in the liver, pancreas and brain. In conclusion, our data shows that in zebrafish distinct cohorts of E2 responsive genes are expressed in a tissue specific manner at different developmental stages. However, the biological pathways that are affected are conserved. 30 embryos were pooled as one sample and exposed to 1 M-NM-<M E2 or vehicle (0.1% DMSO) at approximately 3 hours post fertilization (hpf). At different time points, 1 dpf (24 hpf), 2 dpf (48 hpf), 3 dpf (72 hpf) and 4 dpf (104 hpf), embryos were collected for total RNA extractions. Time points 1 and 2 dpf were performed in biological triplicates of independent pools of RNA while time points 3 and 4 dpf were performed in quadruplicates.

Multigenerational Effects of Dietary Benzo[a]pyrene Exposure on Behavior, Gene Expression, and DNA Methylation

Project description:Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is implicated in many developmental and behavioral adverse outcomes in offspring of exposed parents. Following a dietary preconceptional exposure to BaP in zebrafish, the objective of this study was to compare parental sex-dependent adverse outcomes in F1 and F2 offspring with the transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in eggs, sperm, and 10-hour post fertilization (hpf) embryos. Adult wild-type (5D) zebrafish were fed 708 µg BaP/g diet (measured) at a rate of 1% body weight twice/day (14 µg BaP/g fish/day) for 21 days. Fish were spawned using a crossover design and parental (F0) behavior and reproductive indexes measured. In offspring behavioral effects were measured at 96 hours post fertilization (hpf) in F1 & F2 larvae, and again when F1s were adult. Compared to controls, there was no significant effect of BaP exposure on adult behavior in F0, but locomotor behavior was significantly increased in F1 adults of both sexes. Larval behavior (96 hpf, photomotor response assay) was significantly altered in both the F1 and F2 generations following parental BaP exposure. To assess parental sex-dependent molecular mechanisms, BaP-mediated differential gene expression and DNA methylation changes were measured using RNAseq and RRBS, respectively, on F0 sperm and eggs and the 10 hpf embryos from all four crosses in F1 generation. Embryos resulting from the BaP male and control female cross had the most differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes. Some DMRs were associated with genes encoding chromatin modifying enzymes suggesting regulation of chromatin conformation by DNA methylation. Parental dietary BaP exposure caused persistent behavioral changes wherein the male germline contributed most significantly to the multigenerational adverse outcomes.
