Project description:The oral cavity is the persistent reservoir for EBV with lifelong infection of resident epithelial and B cells. Infection of these cell types results in distinct EBV gene expression patterns that are regulated by epigenetic modifications involving DNA methylation and chromatin structure. Such regulation of EBV gene expression relies on viral manipulation of the host epigenetic machinery that may inadvertently result in long-lasting, oncogenic host epigenetic reprogramming. To test this hypothesis in the context of EBV infection of epithelial cells, we established a transient infection model to identify the epigenetic consequences after EBV infection of immortalized normal oral keratinocytes and subsequent viral loss. NOK cells were single cell cloned (designated as cl1) and EBV infected by co-culture with a recombinant Akata EBV strain carrying neomcycin resistance and GFP expression cassette in place of EBV BXLF1. Cells were selected with 350 ug/ml G418. As a selection control, cells were transfected a plasmid carrying a neomycin resistance cassette. Cells were passaged 10 times with G418, followed by removal of selection pressure. After an additional 10 passages, cells were single cell cloned and the presence of EBV was determined by various methods. Three clones were identified as being EBV negative and said to be transiently infected. Uninfected parental and vector transfected cells were passaged in the same manner and also single cell cloned. The DNA methylation profiles were examined using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing.

Project description:We generated RRBS data between Rex1-high and Rex1-low cells to identify differentially methylated promoters. We observe bimodal methylation levels in both subpopulations, and that Rex1-low cells accumulate increased levels of methylation, frequently as a function of local CpG density We sorted Rex1 high and low cells using a GFP-knockin reporter cell line (kindly provided by Austin Smith), and performed RRBS on the subpopulations

Project description:Genetic and epigenetic alterations are essential for the initiation and progression of human cancer. We previously reported that primary human medulloblastomas showed extensive cancer-specific CpG island DNA hypermethylation in critical developmental pathways. To determine whether genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) of medulloblastoma have comparable epigenetic changes, we assessed genome-wide DNA methylation in three mouse models of medulloblastoma. In contrast to human samples, very few loci with cancer-specific DNA hypermethylation were detected, and in almost all cases the degree of methylation was relatively modest compared to the dense hypermethylation in the human cancers. To determine if this finding was common to other GEMMs, we examined a Burkitt lymphoma and breast cancer model and did not detect promoter CpG island DNA hypermethylation, suggesting that human cancers and at least some GEMMs are fundamentally different with respect to this epigenetic modification. These findings provide an opportunity to both better understand the mechanism of aberrant DNA methylation in human cancer and construct better GEMMs to serve as preclinical platforms for therapy development.

Project description:The oral cavity is the persistent reservoir for EBV with lifelong infection of resident epithelial and B cells. Infection of these cell types results in distinct EBV gene expression patterns that are regulated by epigenetic modifications involving DNA methylation and chromatin structure. Such regulation of EBV gene expression relies on viral manipulation of the host epigenetic machinery that may inadvertently result in long-lasting, oncogenic host epigenetic reprogramming. To test this hypothesis in the context of EBV infection of epithelial cells, we established a transient infection model to identify the epigenetic consequences after EBV infection of immortalized normal oral keratinocytes and subsequent viral loss. With mounting evidence that EBV can induce epigenetic alterations, we developed a transient infection model where a clonal derivative (designated cl1) from a human telomerase immortalized normal oral keratinocyte (NOK) cell line was infected with a recombinant Akata EBV carrying neomycin resistance and GfP cassette in place of the BXLF1 open reading frame. Infected cells were passaged ten times, and then selection pressure was removed for an additional ten passages to allow for viral loss. Three transiently-infected EBV-negative clones were identified by single cell cloning (designated cl1, cl3, cl4). Uninfected parental clone and cells transfected with PTRUF5 plasmid were passaged alongside the transiently-infected clones. The transcription profiles were analyzed using Affymetrix microarray U133Plus2.0 arrays in duplicate. NOK cells were single cell cloned (designated as cl1) and EBV infected by co-culture with a recombinant Akata EBV strain carrying neomcycin resistance and GFP expression cassette in place of EBV BXLF1.

Project description:Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) of hematopoeitic stem/progenitor cells and mature B-cells from wild-type mice and mice transiently expressing Bcl6 under control of the Sca1 promoter. CBAxC57BL/6J mice were engineered to transiently express a Bcl6 cDNA in hematopoeitic stem/progenitor cells under control of the Sca1 promoter and then delete the transgene by cre-mediated recombination upon expression of Cd79a (Sca1-BCL6?). Hematopoeitic stem/progentior cells (HSPC, Sca1+Lin-) from the bone marrow and mature B-cells (B220+) from the peripheral blood were isolated from these mice and wild-type CBAxC57BL/6J mice by fluorescence activated cell sorting. Cells from 6-9 mice were pooled, for a total of 4 experimental conditions. DNA was extracted for each condition and analyzed by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing.

Project description:Many pediatric malignancies are embryonal in nature, and one hypothesis for the origin of embryonal tumors is that they arise from a defect in differentiation, either by an inability to terminally differentiate or a reversion to a pluripotent state. There is emerging evidence that epigenetic regulation plays an important role in the transition from embryonic stem cell to a more committed cell fate, utilizing both de novo DNA methylation and poised M-bM-^@M-^XbivalentM-bM-^@M-^Y chromatin domains (H3K27me3 and H3K4me3) to abolish pluripotency and gain lineage- and cell-type-specific characteristics as a cell differentiates. Thus inappropriate epigenetic silencing by aberrant DNA methylation of bivalent genes required for differentiation could lead to the uncontrolled cell growth observed in cancer. Our broad hypothesis is that aberrant DNA methylation in cancer is targeted to a non-random subset of critical pathways used in normal development. This dysregulation of the normal epigenetic program used in development promotes cellular proliferation and provides a mechanism to block differentiation in pediatric cancers, such as rhabdomyosarcoma. Examination of DNA methylation in fourteen human rhabdomyosarcoma patient samples using RRBS. In addition, RRBS was used to examine DNA methylation in one human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line (RD) forced to terminally differentiate by expression of the forced heterodimer MyoD~E12 (MDE). Lastly, RRBS was used to examine DNA methylation changes during normal differentiation in one primary human normal myoblast cell line

Project description:Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, represents a significant issue for the global agriculture industry as well as for human health. Epigenetic modifications can alter the course of the immune response and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) could contribute to the failure of current generation tests to detect all TB-infected cattle. Whole Genome Bisulphite Sequencing (WGBS) was used to profile DNA methylation levels from peripheral blood of cattle naturally infected with M. bovis (positive for the single intradermal comparative tuberculin test (SICTT) and/or the interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) compared to negative controls [n=8/group, total of 16 WGBS libraries]. Although overall methylation profiles were similar across the genome, 224 DMRs and 159 Differentially Methylated Promoter Gene (DMPGs) were identified between groups with an excess of hypermethylated sites in bTB+ infected cattle (threshold >15% differential methylation). Genes located within these DMRs included the Interleukin 1 receptor (IL1R1) and MHC related genes (BOLA and BOLA-DQB) which may influence effective immunity. KEGG pathway analysis identified enrichment of genes involved in Calcium and MAPK signalling, as well as metabolism pathways. Analysis of DMRs in a subset of SICTT- cattle (n=4 group) which were IGRA+, and thereby potentially represent a risk for disease recurrence on farms, showed differential methylation of genes including Interleukin 10 Receptor, alpha (IL10RA), Interleukin 17F (IL17F) and host defence peptides (DEFB and BDEF109). This study has identified a number of immune gene loci at which differential methylation could impact on the host immune response and the ability of cattle to clear infection. Differential methylation of immune gene loci is an informative avenue to improve our understanding of the regulation of host immunity as well as the role of methylation on diagnostic test performance.

Project description:DNA Methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) is frequently mutated in various hematopoietic malignancies; however, the underlying oncogenic mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that DNMT3A mutational âhotspotâ at Arg882 (DNMT3A-R882H) cooperates with constitutively activated RAS in transforming murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) ex vivo and inducing acute leukemias in vivo. DNMT3A-R882H potentiates aberrant transactivation of âstemnessâ gene expression programs, notably transcription factors Meis1, Hox-A, Mn1 and Mycn. Mechanistically, R882-mutated DNMT3A directly binds to cis-regulatory elements of these genes and induces focal CpG hypomethylation reminiscent of what was seen in human leukemias bearing DNMT3A R882 mutation. Furthermore, DNMT3A-R882H induced DNA hypomethylation facilitates gene enhancer/promoter activation and recruitment of Dot1l-associated transcription elongation machineries. Inactivation of Dot1l represses DNMT3AR882H-mediated stem cell gene dysregulation and acute leukemogenicity. In this dataset, we provided enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) DNA methylome profiling data showing effect of DNMT3A R882H mutation or WT expression on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells with NRAS G12D co-transduction. eRRBBs DNA methylome analysis of Lin- enriched hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells with retroviral infection of NRAS G12D alone (EV-RAS), DNMT3A R882H with NRAS G12D (RH-RAS) or DNMT3A WT with NRAS G12D (WT-RAS) at day 16 post-transduction.
