Project description:Epigenomics is developing a colon cancer screening assay based on differential methylation of specific CpG sites for the detection of early stage disease. A genome-wide methylation analysis and oligonucleotide array study using DNA from various stages of colon cancer and normal tissue have been completed to obtain candidate CpG markers. Based on results obtained in the above studies, Epigenomics has moved to the final stages of feasibility with a specific, highly sensitive real-time marker assay that is able to detect colon cancer DNA in blood plasma.

Project description:Stable maintenance of cytosine methylation is essential for mammalian biological processes such as gene transcription. To investigate the relationship of stably high methylation sites with gene expression, we cultured the ARPE-19 for lasting 10 generations and performed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) to obtain the highly methylated sites. Then we analyzed the characters of highly methylated sites and detected the transcription level of the cells. After filtered the low methylated CpG island (CGI), we found that highly methylated CpG sites had a preference for CGI boundary. In the promoter CGI, only in the condition as the gene expression is inhibited and the promoter CGI is at a high methylation level, a significant enrichment of the highly methylated sites is observed in the promoter CGI boundary. Our results showed that the enrichment of high methylation sites at the boundary of the CGI in the promoter region would have a significant inhibitory effect on the gene expression. In summary, we provide new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of DNA methylation.

Project description:This data was generated by ENCODE. If you have questions about the data, contact the submitting laboratory directly (Florencia Pauli mailto:fpauli@hudsonalpha.org). If you have questions about the Genome Browser track associated with this data, contact ENCODE (mailto:genome@soe.ucsc.edu). This track is produced as part of the ENCODE project. The track displays the methylation status of specific CpG dinucleotides in the given cell types as identified by the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450 Bead Array platform (http://www.illumina.com/products/methylation_450_beadchip_kits.ilmn). In general, methylation of CpG sites within a promoter causes silencing of the gene associated with that promoter. The Infinium Human Methylation 450 platform uses bisulfite treated genomic DNA to assay the methylation status of more than 450,000 CpG sites covering all designatable RefSeq genes, including promoter, 5' and 3' regions, without bias against those lacking CpG islands. Additionally, the assay includes CpG islands and shores, CpG sites outside of CpG islands, non-CpG methylated sites identified in human stem cells, differentially methylated sites identified in tumor versus normal (multiple forms of cancer) and across several tissue types, CpG islands outside of coding regions, miRNA promoter regions, and disease-associated regions identified through GWAS. Detailed information for the CpG targets is in an CSV formatted spreadsheet in the supplemental directory (http://hgdownload-test.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/encodeDCC/wgEncodeHaibMethyl450/supplemental/).

Project description:Stable maintenance of cytosine methylation is essential for mammalian biological processes such as gene transcription. This study introduced a RRBS-based quantitative method to identify CpG sites of high methylation fidelity (especially those 100% methylation fidelity sites). To separate the 100% methylation fidelity sites , we cultured the ARPE-19, Jurkat and SW1353 cells for lasting 10 generations, and we detected the methylation level of each CpG sites in the 20th generation and the 30th generation by performing reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), to obtain the 100% methylation fidelity sites. The result shows that the number of overlapped fidelity methylation CpG sites of the two different time is smaller than number of each generation. Our results also showed that the proportion of high-fidelity 100% methylated sites in Jurkat and ARPE-19 cells is about 4.4% and 8.9%, and the proportion in SW1353 cells is 1.98%. The fidelity methylation sites obtained by the comparison of the two different time periods are the truly unchanged CpG sites during cell passage, which improves the reliability of the fidelity methylation sites. In summary, we provide new insights into the DNA methylation fidelity study.

Project description:Determination of the profile of genes commonly aberrantly methylated in colorectal cancer (CRC) has substantial potential value for diagnostic and therapeutic application. However, our knowledge of the DNA methylation pattern in CRC is currently limited. Therefore, we analyzed the methylation profile of 27,578 CpG sites spanning more than 14,000 genes in CRC and in adjacent normal mucosa using beadchip array-based technology. We identified 621 CpG sites located in promoter region and CpG islands that were significantly hypermethylated in CRC compared to normal mucosa. Genes on chromosome 18 showed promoter hypermethylation most frequently. According to gene ontology analysis, the most common biologically relevant class of genes affected by methylation was the class associated with the cadherin signaling pathway. In comparison with genome-wide expression array, mRNA expression was more like to be down-regulated in the genes demonstrating promoter hypermethylation, although this was not statistically significant. We validated 10 CpG sites that were shown to be hypermethylated in the array studies (ADHFE1, BOLL, SLC6A15, ADAMTS5, TFPI2, EYA4, NPY, TWIST1, LAMA1, GAS7) and 2 CpG sites showing hypomethylaion (MAEL, SFT2D3) in CRC compared to normal mucosa using pyrosequencing. The methylation status measured by pyrosequencing was consistent with the methylation array data. In conclusion, we have shown that methylation profiling based on beadchip arrays is an effective method for screening for aberrantly methylated genes in CRC. In addition, we identified novel methylated genes that are candidate diagnostic or prognostic markers for CRC. We measured the methylation status of the 27,578 CpG sites (Human Methylation27 DNA Analysis BeadChip) in 22 pairs of CRC tissue and adjacent normal mucosa to identify genes that are commonly aberrantly methylated in CRC.

Project description:The enhancer/promoter of the vitellogenin II (VTG) gene has been extensively studied as a model system of vertebrate transcriptional control. While deletion mutagenesis and in vivo footprinting identified the transcription factor (TF) binding sites governing its tissue specificity, DNase hypersensitivity- and DNA methylation studies revealed the epigenetic changes accompanying its hormone-dependent activation. Moreover, upon induction with estrogen (E2), the region flanking the estrogen-responsive element (ERE) was reported to undergo active DNA demethylation. We now show that although the VTG ERE is methylated in embryonic chicken liver and in LMH/2A hepatocytes, its induction by E2 was not accompanied by extensive demethylation. In contrast, E2 failed to activate a VTG enhancer/promoter-controlled luciferase reporter gene methylated by SssI. Surprisingly, this inducibility difference could be traced not to the ERE, but rather to a single CpG in an E-box (CACGTG) sequence upstream of the VTG TATA box, which is unmethylated in vivo, but methylated by SssI. We demonstrate that this E-box binds the upstream stimulating factor USF1/2. Selective methylation of the CpG within this binding site with an E-box-specific DNA methyltranferase Eco72IM was sufficient to attenuate USF1/2 binding in vitro and abolish the hormone-induced transcription of the VTG gene in the reporter system.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIM: Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/Ps) are the likely culprit of ~20% colon cancers but they are molecularly poorly understood. We investigated their epigenetic phenotype using high-throughput analysis of DNA methylation and gene expression. METHODS: 17 SSA/Ps and, as a comparative group, 15 conventional adenomas (all with matched samples of normal mucosa) were prospectively collected during colonoscopy. DNA from the 64 tissues was analyzed, via bisulfite next generation sequencing, for methylation at ~2.7 million CpG sites located prevalently in gene regulatory regions spanning 80.5Mb (~2.5% of the genome). The transcriptome of these samples was also investigated using RNA sequencing. An independent series of 61 archival lesions was used for targeted verification of DNA methylation. RESULTS: Both SSA/Ps and conventional adenomas showed a profound remodelling of their methylome. Cytosine hypermethylation was more pervasive in SSA/Ps than adenomas, in terms of number of hypermethylated regions (22,147 vs 15,965, respectively) and genes (4938 vs 3443, respectively). In addition, the extent of hypermethylation in a given region was higher in SSA/Ps than adenomas. This methylation pattern of SSA/Ps was reminiscent of the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) of their descendant cancers. We have called this phenotype proto-CIMP since most of the hypermethylation occurred in CpG islands and shores. SSA/Ps were also protected from a wave of demethylation that instead occurred in adenomas outside of CpG islands/shores (4288 vs 18,417 hypomethylated regions in SSAPs vs adenomas). Verification studies of six hypermethylated regions demonstrated the high potential of DNA methylation markers for predicting the diagnosis of SSA/Ps and/or adenomas. Proto-CIMP of SSA/Ps was surprisingly associated with a higher number of up- (618) than downregulated (349) genes, while adenomas showed the opposite trend (516 up- vs 712 downregulated genes). CONCLUSIONS: The epigenetic landscape of SSA/Ps differs substantially from that of conventional adenomas. This huge amount of epigenetic variation represents a rich source of promising diagnostic tools, such as novel DNA markers or histologic stainings, for the tailored management of the two most frequent colon cancer precursors.
