Global DNA methylation remodeling during direct reprogramming from fibroblast to neuron [MethylC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Direct reprogramming from fibroblasts to neurons induces widespread cellular and transcriptional reconfigurations. In this study, we characterized global epigenomic changes during direct reprogramming using whole-genome base-resolution DNA methylome (mC) sequencing. We found that the pioneer transcription factor Ascl1 alone is sufficient for inducing robust non-CG methylation (mCH) accumulation in reprogrammed cells, but co-expression of Brn2 and Mytl1 was required to establish a global mCH pattern reminiscent of mature cortical neurons. Ascl1 alone induced strong promoter CG methylation (mCG) of fibroblast specific genes, while BAM overexpression additionally targets a competing myogenic program and directs a more faithful conversion to neuronal cells. Ascl1 induces local demethylation at its binding sites. Surprisingly, co-expression with Brn2 and Mytl1 inhibited the ability of Ascl1 to induce demethylation, suggesting a contextual regulation of transcription factor - epigenome interaction. Finally, we found that de novo methylation by DNMT3A is required for efficient neuronal reprogramming.

RNA-seq and RRBS of developing zebrafish larval brain and WGBS of 4 week old WT and dnmt3aa/dnmt3ab CRISPR/CAS9 KO brain

Project description:DNA methylation predominantly occurs at CG dinucleotides in vertebrate genomes, however, non-CG methylation (mCH) is also detectable in vertebrate tissues, most notably in the nervous system. In mammalian brains, it is well established that: i) mCH is targeted to CAC trinucleotides by DNMT3A, ii) enriched in gene bodies and repetitive elements, and iii) associated with transcriptional repression. However, the possible conservation of these mCH features in zebrafish is largely unexplored and has yet to be functionally demonstrated. In this study, we analyse the transcriptomes (RNA-seq) and methylome (RRBS) of developing zebrafish larvae (1-6 weeks) and adult brain (6 month). We additionally elucidate a role for dnmt3aa/dnmt3ab in mCH deposition via CRISP/CAS9 KO and WGBS of 4 week old brains

Dynamic DNA methylation reconfiguration during seed development and germination (MethylC-seq)

Project description:The life cycle of flowering plants ends and begins with seeds. Unlike animals, plants can pause their life cycle as dormant seeds during this transition. DNA methylation is involved in the regulation of gene expression and genome integrity. Reprogramming erases and re-establishes DNA methylation during development in animals. Knowledge of reprogramming or reconfiguration in plants has been limited to pollen and the central cell. To better understand epigenetic reconfiguration in the embryo, which forms the plant body, we compared dry and germinating seed time-series methylomes to publicly available seed development methylomes. Time-series whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) revealed extensive gain of CHH methylation during seed development and drastic loss of CHH methylation during germination. These dynamic changes in methylation mainly occur within transposable elements. Active DNA methylation during embryogenesis depends on both RNA-directed DNA methylation and heterochromatin formation pathways whereas global demethylation during germination occurs in a passive manner. However, an active DNA demethylation pathway is initiated during late embryogenesis, which contributes to the endosperm specific methylation patterns.This study provides new insights into dynamic DNA methylation reprogramming events during seed development and germination and suggests possible mechanisms of regulation. The observed sequential methylation/demethylation cycle suggests an important role of DNA methylation in seed dormancy.

Inheritance and reprogramming of non-CG methylation at satellite DNA repeats

Project description:In vertebrates, DNA methylation predominantly occurs at CG dinucleotides however, widespread non-CG methylation (mCH) has been reported in mammalian embryonic stem cells and in the brain. In mammals, mCH is found at CAC trinucleotides in the nervous system, where it is associated with transcriptional repression, and at CAG trinucleotides in embryonic stem cells, where it positively correlates with transcription. Moreover, CAC methylation appears to be a conserved feature of adult vertebrate brains. Unlike any of those methylation signatures, here we describe a novel form of mCH that occurs in the TGCT context within zebrafish mosaic satellite repeats. TGCT methylation is inherited from both male and female gametes, remodelled during mid-blastula transition, and re-established during gastrulation in all embryonic layers. Moreover, we identify DNA methyltransferase 3ba (Dnmt3ba) as the primary enzyme responsible for the deposition of this mCH mark. Finally, we observe that TGCT-methylated repeats are specifically associated with H3K9me3-marked heterochromatin suggestive of a functional interplay between these two gene-regulatory marks. Altogether, this work provides insight into a novel form of vertebrate mCH and highlights the substrate diversity of vertebrate DNA methyltransferases.

DNA demethylation by ROS1a in rice vegetative cells promotes methylation in sperm

Project description:Epigenetic reprogramming is required for proper regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic organisms. In Arabidopsis, active DNA demethylation is crucial for seed viability, pollen function, and successful reproduction. The DEMETER (DME) DNA glycosylase initiates localized DNA demethylation in vegetative and central cells, so-called companion cells that are adjacent to sperm and egg gametes, respectively. In rice, the central cell genome displays local DNA hypomethylation, suggesting that active DNA demethylation also occurs in rice, however, the enzyme responsible for this process is unknown. One candidate is the rice REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1a (ROS1a) gene, which is related to DME and is essential for rice seed viability and pollen function. Here, we report genome-wide analyses of DNA methylation in wild-type and ros1a mutant sperm and vegetative cells. We find that the rice vegetative cell genome is locally hypomethylated compared to sperm by a process that requires ROS1a activity. We show that many ROS1a target sequences in the vegetative cell are hypomethylated in the rice central cell, suggesting that ROS1a also demethylates the central cell genome. Similar to Arabidopsis, we show that sperm non-CG methylation is indirectly promoted by DNA demethylation in the vegetative cell. These results reveal that DNA glycosylase-mediated DNA demethylation processes are conserved in Arabidopsis and rice, plant species that diverged 150 million years ago. Finally, although global non-CG methylation levels of sperm and egg differ, the maternal and paternal embryo genomes show similar non-CG methylation levels, suggesting that rice gamete genomes undergo dynamic DNA methylation reprogramming after cell fusion.

Genome-wide demethylation of Arabidopsis endosperm

Project description:Parent-of-origin-specific (imprinted) gene expression is regulated in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm by cytosine demethylation of the maternal genome mediated by the DNA glycosylase DEMETER, but the extent of the methylation changes is not known. Here we show that virtually the entire endosperm genome is demethylated, coupled with extensive local non-CG hypermethylation of siRNA-targeted sequences. Mutation of DEMETER partially restores endosperm CG methylation to levels found in other tissues, indicating that CG demethylation is specific to maternal sequences. Endosperm demethylation is accompanied by CHH hypermethylation of embryo transposable elements. Our findings demonstrate extensive reconfiguration of the endosperm methylation landscape that likely reinforces transposon silencing in the embryo. Keywords: Epigenetics; bisulfite sequencing Examination of DNA methylation in four Arabidopsis tissues Description of processed data and raw data file contents can be found in the attached README.txt file

Direct lineage conversion of terminally differentiated hepatocytes to functional neurons

Project description:Mouse fibroblasts and hepatocyte can be directly reprogrammed to induced neuronal (iN) cells. Genome-wide expression analysis showed that Hep-iN cells had not only induced a neuronal transcriptional program but also effectively silenced the hepatocyte transcriptome suggesting that the reprogramming factors lead to a binary lineage switch decision rather than an induction of hybrid phenotypes. Similarly, the fibroblast-specific transcriptional program was downregulated in fibroblast-derived iN cells. BAM = infection with the 3 factors (Ascl1 - Brn2 - Myt1l) .
