Assessment and site-specific manipulation of DNA (hydroxy-)methylation during mouse corticogenesis

ABSTRACT: Purpose: In this study we investigated the molecular role of cytosine modification in the developing cortex of mice. To this aim we isolated thee linage related cell populations of the developing cortex and mapped both, 5mC as well as 5hmC on a genome-wide scale. Furthermore we established a system to site-specifcally demethylate DNA by using a dCas9-Tet1 fusion protein. Methods: Neuronal stem cells (Btg2-/Tubb3-), neurogenic progenitors (Btg2+/Tubb3-) and neurons (Tubb3+) were isolated from E14.5 Btg2-RFP/Tubb3-GFP double heterozygous mouse embryos (Aprea et al. 2013) and were used for a comparative immunoprecipitation of 5mC and 5hmC (Tan et al. 2013). Results: We were able to identify several genomic regions that change dynamically (hydroxy-)methylation patterns in specific cell type. Specifically for regions losing 5mC and gaining 5hmC we found a consistent enrichment in neurogenesis related GOterms, genomic features, transcription factor binding motifs and different histone marks. Furthermore we found that loss in 5mC and gain in 5hmC correlate with each other and lead to the upregulation of nearby genes. Site-specific demethylation of the identified differentially (hydroxy-)methylated regions in vivo, led to a premature upregulation of the nearby genes which resulted in an altered development of the brain.

Joint single-cell profiling resolves 5mC and 5hmC and reveals their distinct gene regulatory effects [Joint-snhmC-seq: snmCseq2.split]

Project description:Oxidative modification of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by TET DNA dioxygenases generates 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), the most abundant form of oxidized 5mC. Existing single-cell bisulfite sequencing methods cannot resolve 5mC and 5hmC, leaving the cell-type-specific regulatory mechanisms of TET and 5hmC largely unknown. Here we present Joint single-nucleus (hydroxy)methylcytosine sequencing (Joint-snhmC-seq), a scalable and quantitative approach that simultaneously profiles 5hmC and true 5mC in single cells by harnessing differential deaminase activity of APOBEC3A towards 5mC and chemically protected 5hmC. Joint-snhmC-seq profiling of single nuclei from the mouse brains reveals an unprecedented level of epigenetic heterogeneity of both 5hmC and true 5mC at single-cell resolution. We show that cell-type-specific profiles of 5hmC or true 5mC improve multi-modal single-cell data integration, enable accurate identification of neuronal subtypes, and uncover context-specific regulatory effects of cell-type-specific genes by TET enzymes.

Genomic mapping of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in the human brain

Project description:Methylation at the 5-position of cytosine is a well-studied epigenetic pathway. In addition to 5-methylcytosine (5mC), substantial amounts of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) also referred to as the 6th DNA base, have been detected in certain tissues, most notably the brain. However, the genomic distribution of this cytosine modification is unknown. Here, we have developed an immunoprecipitation technique (5hmC-IP) to examine the occurrence of 5hmC in human DNA from brain frontal lobe tissue. The distribution of 5hmC was compared to that of 5mC. We show that 5hmC is more selectively targeted to genes than is 5mC. 5hmC is found at promoters and is particularly enriched in intragenic regions (gene bodies) but is largely absent from non-gene regions. 5hmC peaks at transcription start sites did not correlate with gene expression levels or H3K4me3 peaks. However, presence of 5hmC in gene bodies was more positively correlated with gene expression levels than was presence of 5mC. Promoters of testis-specific genes showed strong 5mC peaks in brain DNA but were almost completely devoid of 5hmC. Our data provide a first overview of the genomic distribution of 5hmC in human brain and will set the stage for further functional characterization of this novel DNA modification.

Brain methylome remodeling sustains neuronal activity gene expression in mice exposed to maternal immune activation [5mC]

Project description:Maternal infections have been linked to various neuropsychiatric disorders that may later emerge in offspring. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and 5-methylcytosine (5mC) are key DNA modifications but their roles in maternal infection remain to be elucidated. It has been documented that Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy leads to structural brain defects such as microcephaly in offspring. However, whether and how offspring exposed to maternal ZIKV infection develop neurocognitive complications remain largely unknown. Here we report that ZIKV infection during mouse pregnancy leads to offspring with depression- and anxiety-like behaviors, which are transmitted to the next generation. Single nucleus RNA sequencing in prefrontal cortex (PFC) of ZIKV offspring mice revealed cell type-specific gene dysregulation associated with neuropsychiatric lesions. Genome-wide 5hmC, 5mC, and transcriptome profiling in ZIKV PFC revealed an overall loss of 5hmC and an increase of 5mC in intragenic regions, associated with transcriptional changes in key functional genes. Gain-of-5hmC regions were mainly located in intergenic transposable elements (TEs) coupled with decreased 5mC and dynamic TE expression. These results provide the first 5hmC study in maternal infection and suggest that maternal ZIKV infection remodels methylome and gene expression in offspring mouse brains, contributing to transgenerational behavior changes.

Distinct roles of Tet1 and Tet2 in mouse embryonic stem cells (CMS-Seq)

Project description:The TET proteins TET1, TET2 and TET3 constitute a new family of dioxygenases that utilize molecular oxygen and the cofactors Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate to convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxy-methylcytosine (5hmC) and further oxidation products in DNA1-5. Here we show that Tet1 and Tet2 have distinct roles in regulating 5hmC deposition and gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC). Tet1 depletion in mESC primarily diminishes 5hmC levels at transcription start sites (TSS), whereas Tet2 depletion is mostly associated with decreased 5hmC in gene bodies relative to TSS. 5hmC is enriched at exon start and end sites, especially in exons that are highly expressed, and is significantly decreased upon Tet2 knockdown at the boundaries of high-expressed exons that are selectively regulated by Tet2. In differentiating murine B cells, Tet2 deficiency is associated with selective exon exclusion in the gene encoding the transmembrane phosphatase CD45. Tet2 depletion is associated with increased 5hmC and decreased 5mC at promoters/ TSS regions, possibly because of the redundant activity of Tet1. Together, these data indicate a complex interplay between Tet1 and Tet2 in mESC, and show that loss-of-function of a single TET protein does not necessarily lead to loss of 5hmC and a corresponding gain of 5mC, as generally assumed. The relation between Tet2 loss-of-function and selective changes in exon expression could potentially explain the frequent occurrence of both TET2 loss-of-function mutations and mutations in proteins involved in pre-mRNA splicing in myeloid malignancies in humans.
