Project description:We report the in vivo androgen receptor (AR) binding sites in caput epididymis of intact SPARKI and wild-type mice using ChIP-sequencing. SPARKI (specificity affecting androgen receptor knock-in) mouse line has the second zinc finger of AR replaced by that of glucocorticoid receptors. In vivo analysis of SPARKI and wild-type AR genome-wide binding sites identified cis-element with less stringent sequence requirements that specify selective AR-binding sites. The ChIP experiments have been performed using antibody specific to AR and IgG non-specific antibody as a negative control. Examination of AR binding sites in epididymis of wild-type and SPARKI mice using ChIP-seq. Two biological replicates from intact wild-type and SPARKI mice and two control IgG samples were sequenced and used in peak calling. To increase the depth of the analysis, replicate ChIP-seq samples were merged and the concatanated samples were used in peak calling.

Project description:In our study we applied a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis approach, MethylCap-seq, to map the differentially methylated regions in 24 tumor and matched normal colon samples. In total, 2687 frequently hypermethylated and 468 frequently hypomethylated regions were identified, which include potential biomarkers for CRC diagnosis. Hypermethylation in the tumor samples was enriched at CpG islands and gene promoters, while hypomethylation was distributed throughout the genome. Using epigenetic data from human embryonic stem cells, we show that frequent differentially methylated regions (DMRs) coincide with bivalent loci in human embryonic stem cells. DNA methylation is commonly thought to lead to cancer gene related silencing, however integration of publically available expression analysis shows that 75% of the frequently hypermethylation genes were most likely already lowly or not expressed in normal tissue. Collectively, our study provides genome-wide DNA methylation maps of colon cancer, comprehensive lists of DMRs, and gives further clues on the role of aberrant DNA methylation in CRC formation. To investigate DNA methylation in CRC in a genome-wide unbiased fashion, we applied MethylCap-seq. This method involves capture of methylated DNA using the MBD domain of MeCP2, and subsequent next-generation Illumina sequencing of eluted DNA. In addition, we compared MethylCap with RNA-seq and ChIP-seq profiles of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 for the colon cancer tumor cell line HCT116 (HCT116 WT) and the cell line of HCT116 with DNMT1 and DNMT3b knockout (HCT116 DKO).

Project description:Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) and Epiblast Stem Cells (EpiSCs) are the in vitro representants of naM-CM-/ve and primed pluripotency, respectively. It is currently unclear how their epigenome underpin the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of these states of pluripotency. Here, we performed the first qualitative and quantitative comparison of DNA methylation between ESCs and EpiSCs. The global level and genomic distribution of DNA methylation were very similar between the two cell types. However, the analysis of promoter methylation patterns in EpiSCs revealed several distinct features: (i) the repression of germline-related genes by DNA methylation, a process already ongoing in ESCs but far more pronounced in EpiSCs; (ii) the hypermethylation of promoters (especially CpG rich) in EpiSC compared to both ESCs and dissected epiblasts from E6.5 and E7.5 embryos; (iii) the inability of hypomethylated (Dnmt-deficient) ESCs to be converted into EpiSCs despite their ability to self-renew. Altogether, our data show that DNA methylation is an important epigenetic regulator of gene expression in EpiSCs and suggest that it is essential for the obtention of EpiSCs.

Project description:Primary cells enter replicative senescence after a limited number of cell divisions. This process is associated with reproducible changes in DNA methylation (DNAm) at specific sites in the genome. The mechanism that drives senescence-associated DNAm changes remains unknown and may arise through drift in DNAm or through regulated, senescence dependent modifications at specific sites in the genome. In this study, we analyzed the reorganization of nuclear architecture and DNA methylation during long-term culture of human fibroblasts and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). [MethylCap-seq] Fibroblasts of two female donors (both 43 years old) were culture expanded and DNA was harvested of 10,000,000 cells at early passage (P3 or P5) and late passage (P30 and P33). DNA methylation changes were subsequently analyzed by MethylCap-Seq.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a severe1 age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, synaptic and neuronal loss, and cognitive decline. Several genes have been implicated in AD, but chromatin state alterations during neurodegeneration remain uncharacterized. Here, we profile transcriptional and chromatin state dynamics across early and late pathology in the hippocampus of an inducible mouse model of AD-like neurodegeneration. We find a coordinated downregulation of synaptic plasticity genes and regulatory regions, and upregulation of immune response genes and regulatory regions, which are targeted by factors that belong to the ETS family of transcriptional regulators, including PU.1. Human regions orthologous to increasing-level enhancers show immune cell-specific enhancer signatures as well as immune cell expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), while decreasing-level enhancer orthologs show fetal brain specific enhancer activity. Surprisingly, AD-associated genetic variants are specifically enriched in increasing-level enhancer orthologs implicating immune processes in AD predisposition. Indeed, increasing enhancers overlap known AD loci lacking protein-altering variants and implicate additional loci that do not reach genome-wide significance. Our results reveal new insights into the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and establish the mouse as a useful model for functional studies of AD regulatory regions. We profiled gene expression levels through RNA-Seq and histone mark levels through ChIP-Seq to compare control mice to the CK-p25 Alzheimer's disease model at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after induction of neurodegeneration.

Project description:We applied ChIP-seq to identify genome wide binding targets of NsrR in E.coli CFT073. NsrR is a nitric oxide sensitive regulator of transcription. Genome wide binding targets of NsrR have been identified in E.coli K12 using ChIP-chip. The genome of CFT073 is about 0.6Mb larger than that of K12. In this study, we identify the novel NsrR binding sites in CFT073. The nsrR gene was modified by the addition of DNA sequences encoding a C-terminal 3X-Flag tag, and the tagged gene was integrated into the chromosome. NsrR bound DNA was isolated by chromatin immunoprecipitation and it was sequenced using Miseq platform.

Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study is (1) to identify the chromatin occupancy of the epigenetic regulator Smchd1 in neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from E14.5 mouse brain; (2) to profile key epigenetic marks H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and DNA methylation in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs; (3) to identify the chromatin occupancy of Ctcf in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs. Methods: Chromatin immunoprecipitation for Smchd1, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and Ctcf was performed essentially as in (Nelson et al. 2006). Briefly, nuclei were isolated from formaldehyde crosslinked NSCs and chromatin was fragmented by sonication. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with corresponding antibodies for Smchd1, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3. DNA was extracted from the immunoprecipitated fraction following reverse-crosslinking. Isolated DNA was used to generate sequencing libraries with Illumina's TruSeq DNA Sample Preparation Kit or Ovation Ultralow system (NuGen) according to manufacturer's instruction. Libraries were pooled and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform for 100 bp single-end reads. Image analysis was performed in real time by the HiSeq Control Software (HCS) v1.4.8 and Real Time Analysis (RTA) v1.12.4.2, running on the instrument computer. Real-time base calling on the HiSeq instrument computer was performed with the RTA software. Illumina CASAVA1.8 pipeline was used to generate the sequence data. To examine the level of DNA methylation, genomic DNA was extracted using an AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen) and methylated DNA was isolated via binding to the methyl-CpG binding domain of human MBD2 protein coupled beads using the MethylMiner methylated DNA enrichment kit (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated DNA was used to generate sequencing libraries as for the ChIP-seq experiment with Illumina’s TruSeq DNA Sample Preparation Kit according to manufacturer's instruction and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform for 49 bp single-end reads. Sequencing analysis was performed as described for the ChIP-seq experiments. Chromatin occupancy of the epigenetic regulator Smchd1 in neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from E14.5 mouse brain was determined by Smchd1 ChIP-seq. Enrichment of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs were assessed by H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 ChIP-seq, respectively. DNA methylation in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs was assessed by MBD-seq. Chromatin occupancy of Ctcf in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs was determined by by Ctcf ChIP-seq.
