NSD1 Mutations Generate a Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Signature

ABSTRACT: Sotos syndrome (SS) represents an important human model system for the study of epigenetic regulation; it is an overgrowth/intellectual disability syndrome caused by mutations in a histone methyltransferase, NSD1. As layered epigenetic modifications are often interdependent, we propose that pathogenic NSD1 mutations have a genome-wide impact on the most stable epigenetic mark, DNA methylation (DNAm). By interrogating DNAm in SS patients, we identify a genome-wide, highly significant NSD1+/- specific signature that differentiates pathogenic NSD1 mutations from controls, benign NSD1 variants and the clinically overlapping Weaver syndrome. Validation studies of independent cohorts of SS and controls assigned 100% of these samples correctly. This highly specific and sensitive NSD1+/- specific signature encompasses genes that function in cellular morphogenesis and neuronal differentiation, reflecting cardinal features of the SS phenotype. The identification of SS-specific genome-wide DNAm alterations will facilitate both the elucidation of the molecular pathophysiology of SS and the development of improved diagnostic testing. Bisulphite converted DNA from 122 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip array.

Genome-wide analysis identifies aberrant methylation in Fragile X syndrome is specific to the FMR1 locus

Project description:Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a common form of inherited intellectual disability and is caused by an expansion of CGG repeats located in the 5Õ untranslated region (UTR) of the FMR1 gene, leading to hypermethylation and silencing of this locus. While the dramatic increase in DNA methylation (DNAm) of the FMR1 full mutation allele is well documented, the extent that these changes affect DNAm throughout the entire gene and the rest of the genome remains unexplored. Here, we examine the genome-wide methylation in peripheral blood (N = 9) as well as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs; N = 10) from FXS individuals and controls (N = 53 and 9, respectively) and find the expected significant DNAm differences in the FMR1 promoter and 5Õ UTR, but also that these changes inversely persist throughout the FMR1 gene body. Importantly, we find there are no additional differential methylated loci (DML) throughout the remainder of the genome, indicating that the aberrant methylation of the FMR1 in FXS is locus-specific and does not change DNAm genome-wide. This study provides a comprehensive methylation profile of FXS and refines mechanistic considerations of FMR1 silencing. A total of 62 blood (53 controls + 9 Fragile X) samples analyzed using a linear regression model.

Tissue- and Aging-specific DNA-Methylation Patterns are erased in Mesenchymal Stromal Cells derived from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. [Methylation profiling]

Project description:Standardization of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) remains a major obstacle in regenerative medicine. Starting material and culture expansion affect cell preparations and render comparison between studies difficult. In contrast, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) assimilate towards a ground-state and may therefore give rise to more standardized cell preparations. We reprogrammed bone marrow MSCs into iPSCs which were subsequently re-differentiated towards MSCs. These iPS-MSCs revealed similar morphology, immunophenotype, in vitro differentiation potential, and gene expression profiles as primary MSCs. DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles of iPSCs maintained some donor-specific characteristics, whereas tissue-specific, senescence-associated, and age-related DNAm patterns were erased during reprogramming. iPS-MSCs reacquired senescence-associated DNAm during culture expansion but they remained rejuvenated with regard to age-related DNAm. Overall, iPS-MSCs and MSCs are similar in function but differ in their epigenetic makeup. 12 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

CHARGE and Kabuki syndromes: Gene-specific DNA methylation signatures

Project description:Epigenetic dysregulation has emerged as mechanism in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. Two such disorders, CHARGE and Kabuki syndromes, result from loss of function mutations in chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 7 (CHD7LOF) and lysine (K) methyltransferase 2D (KMT2DLOF), respectively. We expected that epigenetically driven developmental pathways regulated by CHD7 and KMT2D would overlap and that DNA methylation (DNAm) alterations downstream of the mutations in these genes would identify common target genes, elucidating a mechanistic link between these conditions, as well as specific target genes for each. Genome-wide DNAm profiles in individuals with CHARGE and Kabuki syndromes with CHD7LOF or KMT2DLOF identified distinct sets of DNAm differences in each of the disorders, which were used to generate two unique, highly specific and sensitive DNAm signatures. These DNAm signatures were able to differentiate pathogenic mutations in these two genes from controls and from each other. Analysis of each gene-specific DNAm signature identified common gene targets which could account for some of the clinical overlap in these syndromes, as well as distinct gene targets. Our findings demonstrate how characterization of the epigenome can contribute to our understanding of disease pathophysiology for epigenetic disorders, paving the way for explorations of novel therapeutics.

Methylation profiling by array of a solitary Peutz-Jeghers colon polyp in a healthy individual

Project description:Colon polyps represent precursor lesions of colon cancers and their malignant potential varies according to histological subtype. A rare subtype of colon polyps is the Peutz-Jeghers (PJ) polyp. PJ polyps mostly occur in the context of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome which is characterized by the development of multiple polyps in the intestinal tract and hyperpigmentation of oral mucosa and lips. Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by germline mutations of the Serine Threonin Kinase STK11 (LKB1). PJ polyps very rarely occur outside of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome and are then referred to as solitary PJ polyps. Contrary to Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, the genetic basis and the malignant potential of solitary PJ polyps is currently unknown. To date, only one study described a sporadic PJ polyp finding no mutations of STK11, indicating that the molecular profile of solitary PJ polyps differs from Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Methylome analysis revealed global hypomethylation and CpG island hypermethylation, two features that have been described as hallmarks of the colorectal cancer epigenome. These results provide a paradigm for a premalignant lesion that is defined by epigenetic changes.

Chromatin regulation of transcriptional enhancers and cell fate by the Sotos syndrome gene NSD1 [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Nuclear-receptor-binding SET-domain protein 1 (NSD1), a methyltransferase that catalyzes H3K36me2, is essential for mammalian development and frequently dysregulated in diseases, including a spectrum of cancers and the genetic disorder Sotos syndrome. Despite its function in modulating the chromatin landscape, a direct role of NSD1 in transcriptional regulation remains largely unknown. Here, we show that NSD1 and H3K36me2 are enriched at cis-regulatory elements, particularly enhancers, in a cell type-specific manner. NSD1 enhancer association is conferred by its tandem quadruple PHD-PWWP domain, which is a hotspot for Sotos syndrome missense mutations. By combining acute NSD1 depletion with temporally resolved epigenomic and nascent transcriptomic analysis, we demonstrate that NSD1/H3K36me2 plays a critical role in facilitating enhancer-dependent gene transcription by promoting promoter pause release of RNA polymerase II. Moreover, NSD1 regulates ESC multilineage differentiation through facilitating transcriptional activation of critical developmental programs implicated in Sotos syndrome pathogenesis. Collectively, we have identified NSD1 as a novel enhancer-acting transcriptional coactivator and provided mechanistic insights into its contribution to cell fate transition and association with a human developmental disorder.

DNA methylation profiles of freshly isolated CD34+ cells and upon expansion on either tissue culture plastic (TCP) or mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)

Project description:Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HPCs) can be maintained in vitro, but the vast majority of their progeny loses M-bM-^@M-^\stemnessM-bM-^@M-^] during culture. In this study, we have analyzed DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles of freshly isolated CD34+ cells and upon expansion on either tissue culture plastic (TCP) or mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). DNAm profiles of expanded CD34+ versus CD34- subsets reflected hematopoietic differentiation, whereas culture on TCP or MSCs had little impact. Notably, all cultured HPCs - even those which remained CD34 positive - acquired significant DNA-hypermethylation, particularly in up-stream promoter regions, shore-regions of CpG islands, and binding sides for PU.1 and RUNX1. Our results point to a coordinated epigenetic process which needs to be controlled to enhance self-renewal of HPCs in vitro. 12 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Genomic and epigenomic profiling of GATA2 deficiency reveals aberrant hypermethylation pattern in Bone Marrow and Peripheral Blood

Project description:The majority (72%) of adolescents with myelodysplastic syndrome and monosomy 7 carry an underlying GATA2 deficiency. Nowadays, chemotherapy and allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are the only cure, pointing out the urgent need to develop reliable predictive tools. Familial cases carrying the same mutation in the GATA2 gene develop the disease at different age. The trigger of the disease is still unknown. Therefore, it is needed to understand the genetic mechanisms (mutations) and epigenetic mechanism, such as, DNA methylation, a cellular mechanism to control gene expression. Abnormal DNA methylation has been linked to several adverse outcomes, including human diseases. In this study, we deeply characterized 20 Spanish GATA2 deficient patients; study the presence of secondary mutations, clinical phenotype and DNA methylation. We have found that the most frequent secondary mutations are in STAG2 and ASXL1 genes, detected in 30% and 20% of the patients, respectively, a similar ratio has been described in a bigger cohort, showing that our 20-patient cohort is representative of the GATA2 deficiency scenario. For the first time, we found a specific hypermethylated signature in GATA2 patients, opening a novel point of view in the GATA2-patient diagnostic and facilitating the risk estimation of themselves. Furthermore, whether the methylation profiling is accurate enough, it will be useful to predict the onset of the disease progression.
