Acute depletion redefines the division of labor among DNA methyltransferases in methylating the human genome [MBD-seq]

ABSTRACT: Global patterns of DNA methylation, mediated by the DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), are disrupted in all cancers by mechanisms that remain largely unknown, hampering their development as therapeutic targets. Combinatorial acute depltion of all DNMTs in a pluripotent human tumor cell line, followed by epigenome and transcriptome analysis, revealed DNMT functions in unprecedented detail. DNMT3B occupancy regulates methylation during differentiation, while an unexpected interplay was discovered in which DNMT1 and DNMT3B antithetically regulate methylation and hydroxymethylation in gene bodies, a finding confirmed in other cell types. DNMT3B mediated nonCpG methylation, while DNMT3L influenced the activity of DNMT3B toward nonCpG versus CpG site methylation. Taken together, these data reveal new functional targets of each DNMT suggesting that isoform selective inhibition would be therapeutically advantageous. NCCIT cells were transfected with siRNAs against DNMT3B and a no-target control. Genomic DNA was extracted, and subsequently applied to affinity MBD-bound magnetic beads (Ribomed) to enrich methylated DNA sequences.

Acute depletion redefines the division of labor among DNA methyltransferases in methylating the human genome [methylation]

Project description:Global patterns of DNA methylation, mediated by the DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), are disrupted in all cancers by mechanisms that remain largely unknown, hampering their development as therapeutic targets. Combinatorial acute depletion of all DNMTs in a pluripotent human tumor cell line, followed by epigenome and transcriptome analysis, revealed DNMT functions in unprecedented detail.

Taken together, these data reveal new functional targets of each DNMT suggesting that isoform selective inhibition would be therapeutically advantageous. Overall, 27 samples were analyzed using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. 19 samples include NCCIT cells treated with various siRNAs targeting specific DNA methyltransferases. For the samples labeled biological replicate 1, NTC-1 serves as the control. Two additional biological replicates were analyzed for the siDNMT1, siDNMT3B, and si3B+3L condition; NTC-2 serves as the control for these samples. Six samples include HCT116 WT and various derivatives with alternative expression of DNMT1 and/or DNMT3B; WT serves as the control. Two samples include the undifferentiated (UD) and 7-day differentiated (DF) NCCIT cells; UD serves as the control.

Control of 5mC and 5hmC by TET dioxygenases in human embryonic carcinoma cells [MBD-Seq]

Project description:The TET family of dioxygenases catalyze conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), but their involvement in establishing normal 5mC patterns during mammalian development and their contributions to aberrant control of 5mC during cellular transformation remains largely unknown. We depleted TET1, TET2, and TET3 by siRNA in a pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cell model and examined the impact on genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC patterns. TET1 depletion yielded widespread reduction of 5hmC, while depletion of TET2 and TET3 reduced 5hmC at a subset of TET1 targets suggesting functional co-dependence. TET2 or TET3-depletion also caused increased 5hmC, suggesting they play a major role in 5hmC removal. All TETs prevent hypermethylation throughout the genome, a finding dramatically illustrated in CpG island shores, where TET depletion resulted in prolific hypermethylation. Surprisingly, TETs also promote methylation, as hypomethylation was associated with 5hmC reduction. TET function was highly specific to chromatin environment: 5hmC maintenance by all TETs occurred at polycomb-marked chromatin and genes expressed at moderate levels; 5hmC removal by TET2 is associated with highly transcribed genes enriched for H3K4me3 and H3K36me3. Importantly, genes prone to hypermethylation in cancer become depleted of 5hmC with TET deficiency, suggesting the TETs normally promote 5hmC at these loci, and all three TETs are required for 5hmC enrichment at enhancers, a condition necessary for expression of adjacent genes. These results provide novel insight into the division of labor among TET proteins and reveal an important connection of TET activity with chromatin landscape and gene expression.

Profiling of Chromatin States in a Human Cancer Cell Line

Project description:DNA methylation mediated by the combined action of three DNA methyltransferases, DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B, is essential for mammalian development and is also a major contributor to transformation. To elucidate how DNA methylation is targeted, we map the genome-wide localization of all DNMTs and methylation, and examine relationships between these markers and histone modifications and nucleosome structure. Our findings reveal a strong link between DNA methylation/DNMTs and transcribed loci and that these marks exhibit both overlapping and unique localization patterns. Comparisons with the epigenome of embryonic stem cells demonstrate that DNMT binding is associated with transformation-associated changes in methylation. Taken together, this study sheds important new light on determinants of DNA methylation and how it may become disrupted in cancer cells.

Active DNA Demethylation by DNMT3A and DNMT3B - Mechanistic Aspect and In Vivo Evidence

Project description:The DNA methylation program is at the bottom layer of the epigenetic regulatory cascade of vertebrate development. While the methylation at C-5 position of the cytosine (C) residues on the vertebrate genomes is achieved through the catalytic activities of the DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), the conversion of the methylated cytosine (5mC) could be accomplished by the combined actions of the TET enzyme and DNA repair. Interestingly, it has been found recently that the mouse and human DNMTs also possess active DNA demethylation activity in vitro in a Ca2+- and redox condition-dependent manner. We report here the study of tracking down the fate of the methyl group removed from 5mC on DNA during in vitro demethylation reaction by mouse de novo DNMTs, i.e. DNMT3A and DNMT3B. Remarkably, the methyl group becomes covalently linked to the catalytic cysteines utilized by the two de novo DNMTs in their DNA methylation reactions. Thus, the forward and reverse reactions of DNA methylations by the DNMTs may utilize the same cysteine residue(s) as the active site despite of their distinctive pathways. Secondly, we demonstrate that active DNA demethylation of a heavily methylated GFP reporter plasmid by ectopically expressed DNMT3A or DNMT3B occurs in vivo in transfected human HEK 293 cells in culture. Furthermore, the extent of DNA demethylation by the DNMTs in this cell-based system is affected by Ca2+ homeostasis as well as by mutation of their putative active cysteines. These findings substantiate the roles of the vertebrate DNMTs as double-edged swords in DNA methylation-demethylation in vitro as well as in a cellular context.

Pivotal role for S-nitrosylation of DNA methyltransferase in epigenetic regulation

Project description:DNMTs catalyze the methylation of cytosine with SAM. DNA methylation affects key cellular processes by regulating gene expression, thus serving a variety of physiological and pathophysiological roles. However, the chemical mechanisms of DNA methylation by which its enzymatic activity is regulated have not been fully elucidated. We found that a critical cysteine residue in DNMT is the target of protein S-nitrosylation, leading to the attenuation of DNMT enzymatic activity and consequent aberrant regulation of gene expression during neoplastic cell proliferation. Our results demonstrate that de novo DNA methylation mediated by DNMT3 is regulated by NO, which is involved in tumor formation.
