Project description:The goals of this study were to compare the distribution of H3K4me3 before and after methionine restriction to understand how nutrient availability and alterations in methionine metabolism affect the epigenetic state and regulate gene transcription. To do this we performed ChIP-seq with an H3K4me3 antibody and RNA-seq using PolyA+ mRNA.

Project description:Methionine, a sulfur-containing essential amino acid, is a key component of dietary proteins important for protein synthesis, sulfur metabolism, antioxidant defense, and signaling. However, the role of methionine in cancer progression remains inconclusive. On one hand, dietary methionine restriction is known to repress cancer growth and improve cancer therapy in xenografted tumors. On the other hand, methionine is also critical for T cell activation and differentiation, making it a potential tumor suppression nutrient by enhancing T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity. Here we investigated the interaction between dietary methionine, immune cells, and cancer cells by allografting CT26.WT mouse colon carcinoma cells into immunocompetent Balb/c mice or immunodeficient NSG mice, then analyzed how dietary methionine contents affect their growth. Our results show that dietary methionine restriction suppresses tumor growth in immunodeficient NSG mice but promotes tumor progression in immunocompetentt Balb/c mice.

Project description:Epigenetic modifications on DNA and histones regulate gene expression by modulating chromatin accessibility to transcription machinery. Chromatin-modifying enzymes are dependent on metabolic intermediates for chromatin remodeling, linking nutrient availability and cellular metabolism to the cellular epigenetic landscape. Here we identify methionine as a key nutrient affecting T cell epigenetic reprogramming in CD4+ T helper (Th) cells. Using metabolomic approaches, we showed that methionine is rapidly taken up by activated T cells and then serves as the major substrate for the biosynthesis of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), the universal methyl donor for cellular methyltransferases. Conversely, methionine restriction (MR) depletes intracellular SAM pools, reduces global histone H3K4 methylation (H3K4me3) in T cells, and reduces H3K4me3 levels at the promoter regions of key genes involved in CD4+ Th17 cell proliferation and cytokine production. Applied to the mouse model of multiple sclerosis (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis), dietary methionine restriction reduced the expansion of pathogenic Th17 cells in vivo, leading to reduced T cell-mediated neuroinflammation and disease onset. Overall our data identify methionine as a key nutritional factor that shapes T cell proliferation, differentiation, and function in part through regulation of histone methylation in T cells.

Project description:Dietary methionine restriction is associated with a reduction in tumor growth in preclinical studies and an increase in lifespan in animal models. The mechanism by which methionine restriction inhibits tumor growth while sparing normal cells is incompletely understood, except for the observation that normal cells can utilize methionine or homocysteine interchangeably (methionine independence) while most cancer cells are strictly dependent on methionine availability. Here, we compared a typical methionine dependent and a rare methionine independent melanoma cell line. We show that replacing methionine, a methyl donor, with homocysteine generally induced hypomethylation in gene promoters. This decrease was similar in methionine dependent versus methionine independent cells. There was only a low level of pathway enrichment, suggesting that the hypomethylation is generic rather than gene specific. Whole proteome and transcriptome were also analyzed. This analysis revealed that contrarily to the effect on methylation, the replacement of methionine with homocysteine had a much greater effect on the transcriptome and proteome of methionine dependent cells than methionine independent cells. Interestingly, the methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A), responsible for the synthesis of s-adenosylmethionine from methionine, was equally strongly upregulated in both cell lines. This suggests that the absence of methionine is equally detected but trigger different outcomesin methionine dependent versus independent cells. Our analysis reveals the importance of cell cycle control, DNA damage repair, translation, nutrient sensing, oxidative stress and tight junctions in the cellular response to methionine stress in melanoma.

Project description:Dietary methionine restriction (MR) has been shown to increase lifespan and decrease adiposity in rodents. This study was designed to examine the transcriptional effects of MR in metabolically relevant tissues. This experiment contains data from the liver. We analyzed MR-induced changes in gene expression using pooled RNA from liver of rats fed either a control purified amino acid diet (DL-methionine content of 0.86%) (CON) or a methionine-restricted diet (DL-methionine content of 0.172%)(MR). Rats were fed Purina rodent diet 5001 until 32 days of age and were then randomly assigned to be fed CON diet or MR diet for 20 months.

Project description:Histone modifications are integral to epigenetics through their influence on gene expression and cellular status. While it's established that metabolism, including methionine metabolism, can impact histone methylation, the direct influence of methionine availability on crucial histone marks that determine the epigenomic process remains poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that methionine, through its metabolic product, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), dynamically regulates H3K36me3, a cancer-associated histone modification known to influence cellular status, and myogenic differentiation of mouse myoblast cells. We further demonstrate that the methionine-dependent effects on differentiation are mediated in part through the histone methyltransferase SETD2, which senses methionine levels. Additionally, methionine restriction leads to preferential decreases in H3K36me3 abundance and genome accessibility of genes involved in myogenic differentiation. Importantly, the effects of methionine restriction on differentiation and chromatin accessibility can be phenocopied by the deletion of Setd2. Collectively, this study demonstrates that methionine metabolism through its ability to be sensed by chromatin modifying enzymes can have a direct role in influencing cell fate determination.
