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.
