Identification of SNPs using genomic DNA and allele specific expression using nascent RNA on snp6 array

ABSTRACT: Disappearance of the Barr body has long been considered a hallmark of cancer, although whether this corresponds to epigenetic instability and transcriptional reactivation, or to genetic loss, has remained unclear. Here we show that in breast cancer cell lines as well as primary breast tumors, the inactive X chromosome frequently displays a highly abnormal 3D nuclear organization, with global perturbations in its characteristic heterochromatic state, including apparent gain of euchromatic marks and lessening of repressive marks such as H3K27me3 and promoter DNA methylation. Genome-wide profiling of chromatin and transcription reveal modified epigenomic landscapes in cancer cells accompanied by a significant degree of X-linked gene reactivation, affecting genes previously implicated in cancer, including the histone deacetylase, HDAC8 and transducin (Beta)-Like 1X-Linked, TBL1X. We provide proof of principle that epigenetic deregulation can indeed perturb the dosage of some X-linked factors and demonstrate that many of these genes are reactivated in primary breast tumors. Our study establishes that the inactive X is subject to epigenetic erosion in a cancer context and sets the stage for the use of chromatin marks and X- chromosome genes as potential biomarkers to assess epigenetic changes in cancer. Examination of allele specific expression of genes using nascent RNA on snp6 array by comparing it with snp6 results from genomic DNA.

Analysis of allele specific expression and its chromatin state to identify genes that are escaping X chromosome inactivation

Transcriptional dynamics of paternal X chromosome reveals different epigenetic memory of the inactive state in the inner cell mass

Project description:This study concerns the dynamics of reprogramming of the inactive X chromosome in the inner cell mass of the E3.5-4.5 mouse blastocysts. We use single cell, allele-specific transcriptomic analyses to define the precise timing of paternal X-linked gene reactivation, as well as nascent RNA FISH and immunuofluorescence to follow the loss of chromatin marks such as H3K27me3. We find evidence that different genes show very different timing of reactivation indicating an epigenetic memory of the inactive state in some cases but not in others. In exploring whether PRC2 might be part of this memory we uncover a role for the X-linked histone demethylase Utx (a gene that actually escapes XCI), in the efficiency of H3K27me3 erasure and reactivation of of the paternal X. This work describes the precise timing and potential mechanisms of X-chromosome reactivation in vivo for the first time.

Female-specific CTCF binding on the inactive X chromosome in mouse

Project description:In mammals, genes located on the X chromosome are present in one copy in XY males and two in XX females. To balance the dosage of X-linked gene expression between the sexes one of the two X chromosomes in females is silenced by X inactivation initiated by up-regulation of the lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) Xist and recruitment of specific chromatin modifiers for silencing. The inactivated X chromosome becomes heterochromatic and visits a specific nuclear compartment adjacent to the nucleolus. We report a novel role for the X-linked lncRNA Firre in anchoring the inactive mouse X chromosome and preserving one of its main epigenetic features, trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Similar to Dxz4, Firre is expressed from a macrosatellite repeat locus associated with a cluster of CTCF and cohesin binding specifically on the inactive X. CTCF binding initially present in both male and female mouse embryonic stem cells was found to be lost from the active X during development. The Firre and Dxz4 loci on the inactive X were preferentially located adjacent to the nucleolus. Knockdown of Firre RNA disrupted perinucleolar targeting and H3K27me3 levels in mouse fibroblasts, demonstrating an important role for this lncRNA in maintenance of one of the main epigenetic features of the X chromosome. There was no X-linked gene reactivation after Firre knockdown; however, a compensatory increase in the expression of chromatin modifier genes implicated in X silencing was observed. In female ES cells Firre RNA knockdown did not disrupt Xist expression/coating nor silencing of G6pdx during differentiation, suggesting that Firre does not play a role in the onset of X inactivation. We conclude that the X-linked lncRNA Firre helps position the inactive X chromosome near the nucleolus and preserve one of its main epigenetic features.

SNP6 profiling of metaplastic breast carcinoma

Project description:SNP6 profiling of metaplastic breast carcinoma Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare and aggressive histologic type of breast cancer, preferentially displaying a triple-negative phenotype (i.e. lacking estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and HER2 expression). We sought to define the transcriptomic heterogeneity of MBCs on the basis of current gene expression microarray-based classifiers and to determine whether MBCs display gene copy number profiles consistent with those of BRCA1-associated breast cancers.

Epigenetic portraits of human breast cancers (various cell lines expression data)

Project description:Breast cancer is a molecularly, biologically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders. Understanding this diversity is essential to improving diagnosis and optimising treatment. Both genetic and acquired epigenetic abnormalities participate in cancer, but information is scant on the involvement of the epigenome in breast cancer and its contribution to the complexity of the disease. Here we used the Infinium Methylation Platform to profile at single-CpG resolution (over 14,000 genes interrogated) the methylomes of 119 breast tumours. It emerges that many genes whose expression is linked to the ER status are epigenetically controlled (or/ we show that the two major phenotypes of breast cancers determined by ER status are widely involving epigenetic regulatory mechanisms), offering the prospect of a novel approach to treating ER-positive tumours. We have distinguished methylation-profile-based tumour clusters, some coinciding with known “expression subtypes” but also new entities that may provide a meaningful basis for refining breast tumour typology. We show that methylation patterns may reflect the cellular origins of tumours. Having highlighted an unexpectedly strong epigenetic component in the regulation of key immune pathways, we show that a set of immune genes have high prognostic value in specific tumour categories. By laying the ground for better understanding of breast cancer heterogeneity and improved tumour taxonomy, the precise epigenetic portraits drawn here should contribute to better management of breast cancer patients.

A novel chemical biology high-content strategy for the identification of novel HMT inhibitors reveals a crosstalk between DOT1L and CARM1

Project description:Epigenetic regulation is a dynamic and reversible process that controls gene expression. Abnormal function results in downregulation or upregulation of pathways leading to diseases, such as cancer. The enzymes that establish and maintain epigenetic marks, such as histone methyltransferases (HMTs), are therapeutic targets as their and, importantly, the epigenetic modifications are reversible. Noteworthy, HMTs, as the other epigenetic enzymes and readers, form together multiprotein complexes that in concert regulate histone marks. To probe the epigenetic protein complexes in a biological system, we developed a reliable chemical biology high-content imaging strategy to screen compound libraries on multiple histone marks inside cells simultaneously. The advantage is double: (1) it identifies directly a drug that is active in cells on a specific histone mark and (2) it reveals the crosstalk between the epigenetic marks. By this approach, we identified that compound 4, a published CARM1 (PRMT4) inhibitor, inhibits both histone mark H3R2me2a (regulated by CARM1) and H3K79me2 (regulated by DOT1L) pointing out a synergistic interaction between the two HMTs. The results obtained by the screening assay were validated by mass spectrometry and other techniques confirming the crosstalk between the two marks and HMTs. Prompted by the interaction between CARM1 and DOT1L we combined compound 4 and DOT1L inhibitor EPZ-5676 resulting in a stronger cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis, indicating that our approach provides also a novel strategy to identify effective synergistic drug combinations for cancer therapy.
