Imprinted gene expression at the Dlk1-Dio3 cluster is controlled by both maternal and paternal IG-DMRs in a tissue-specific fashion.

ABSTRACT: Imprinting at the Dlk1-Dio3 cluster is controlled by the IG-DMR, an imprinting control region differentially methylated between maternal and paternal chromosomes. The maternal IG-DMR is essential for imprinting control, functioning as a cis enhancer element. Meanwhile, DNA methylation at the paternal IG-DMR is thought to prevent enhancer activity. To explore whether suppression of enhancer activity at the methylated IG-DMR requires the transcriptional repressor TRIM28, we analyzed Trim28chatwo embryos and performed epistatic experiments with IG-DMR deletion mutants. We found that while TRIM28 regulates the enhancer properties of the paternal IG-DMR, it also controls imprinting through other mechanisms. Additionally, we found that the paternal IG-DMR, previously deemed dispensable for imprinting, is required in certain tissues, demonstrating that imprinting is regulated in a tissue-specific manner. Using ChRO-seq to analyze nascent transcription, we show that different tissues have a distinctive regulatory landscape at the Dlk1-Dio3 cluster, providing insight into potential mechanisms of tissue-specific imprinting control. ChRO-seq identified 30 novel transcribed regulatory elements, including a candidate regulatory region that depends on the paternal IG-DMR. Together, our findings challenge the model that Dlk1-Dio3 imprinting is regulated through a single mechanism and demonstrate that different tissues use distinct strategies for imprinting control.

A bipartite element with allele-specific functions safeguards DNA methylation imprints at the Dlk1-Dio3 locus [4C-seq]

Project description:Dysregulation of imprinted gene loci also referred to as loss of imprinting (LOI) can result in severe developmental defects and other diseases, but the molecular mechanisms that ensure imprint stability remain incompletely understood. Here, we dissect the functional components of the imprinting control region of the essential Dlk1-Dio3 locus (called IG-DMR) and the mechanism by which they ensure imprinting maintenance. Using pluripotent stem cells carrying an allele-specific reporter system, we demonstrate that the IG-DMR consists of two antagonistic regulatory elements: a paternally methylated CpG-island that prevents the activity of Tet dioxygenases and a maternally unmethylated regulatory element, which serves as a non-canonical enhancer and maintains expression of the maternal Gtl2 lncRNA by precluding de novo DNA methyltransferase function. Targeted genetic or epigenetic editing of these elements leads to LOI with either bi-paternal or bi-maternal expression patterns and respective allelic changes in DNA methylation and 3D chromatin topology of the entire Dlk1-Dio3 locus. Although the targeted repression of either IG-DMR or Gtl2 promoter is sufficient to cause LOI, the stability of LOI phenotype depends on the IG-DMR status, suggesting a functional hierarchy. These findings establish the IG-DMR as a novel type of bipartite control element and provide mechanistic insights into the control of Dlk1-Dio3 imprinting by allele-specific restriction of the active DNA (de)methylation machinery.

Loss of imprinting at the CTCF binding sites in the DLK1-DIO3 domain reactivates microRNA expression in acute promyelocytic leukaemia

Project description:We report the DNA-methylation profiling of 10 regions selected from the DLK1-DIO3 domain on chromosome 14q32 in BM/PB samples from patients with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), other subclasses of acute myeloid leukaemia and healthy donors, using high-throughput amplicon bisulfite sequencing with Roche 454 technology. We identify monoallelic-hypermethylation in APL only at the differentially methylated region (DMR) located upstream from the MEG3 gene (MEG3-DMR), whereas no changes in the DNA methylation profile were detected at the imprinting control region of the domain (IG-DMR) among the samples analysed. We show that the expression profile of 6 miRNAs clustered downstream from the MEG3-DMR correlates with the methylation profile at both DMRs. We demonstrate that miRNAs expression negatively correlates with DNA-methylation at the IG-DMR and MEG3 gene-body, whereas the correlation was positive for the CpGs located in the promoter of MEG3, including the binding sites for the insulator CTCF. We propose a loss of imprinting at the CTCF binding sites in patients with APL. These results are consistent with the previously reported DLK1-DIO3 miRNAs overexpression in APL, indicating a possible involvement of these ncRNAs in the pathogenesis of the disease.

A permissive chromatin state regulated by ZFP281-AFF3 in controlling the imprinted Meg3 polycistron

Project description:Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic regulation which leads to gene expression in a parent-of-origin specific manner. Previously we have demonstrated that AFF3, the central component of Super Elongation Complex-like 3 (SEC-L3), can specifically bind both the intergenic differentially methylated region (IG-DMR) and the enhancer within the imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 locus to regulate the expression of the Meg3 polycistron. However, the mechanism underlying how AFF3 can interact with distinct chromatin regulatory elements remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that AFF3 is associated with the Krüppel-like zinc finger protein ZFP281. ZFP281 is required for the recruitment of AFF3 to the enhancer and regulates the allele-specific expression of the Meg3 polycistron in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells at the transcriptional elongation level. Our genome-wide analyses further identify ZFP281 as a critical factor generally associating with AFF3 at enhancers and functioning together with AFF3 in regulating the expression of a subset of gene. Our study suggests that different zinc finger proteins can function as molecular switchers to regulate the context-dependent function of AFF3 and set a balanced chromatin state for maintaining the allele specific expression pattern of the imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 locus.

The long non-coding RNA Meg3 mediates imprinted gene expression during stem cell differentiation

Project description:The imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 domain comprises the developmental genes Dlk1 and Rtl1, which are silenced on the maternal chromosome in different cell types. On this parental chromosome, the domain’s imprinting control region activates a polycistron that produces the lncRNA Meg3 and many miRNAs (Mirg) and C/D-box snoRNAs (Rian). Although Meg3 lncRNA is nuclear and associates with the maternal chromosome, it is unknown whether it controls gene repression in cis. We created mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) that carry an ectopic poly(A) signal, reducing RNA levels along the polycistron, and generated Rian-/- mESCs as well. Upon ESC differentiation, we found that Meg3 lncRNA (but not Rian) is required for Dlk1 repression on the maternal chromosome. Biallelic Meg3 expression acquired through CRISPR-mediated demethylation of the paternal Meg3 promoter led to biallelic Dlk1 repression, and to loss of Rtl1 expression. lncRNA expression also correlated with DNA hypomethylation and CTCF binding at the 5’-side of Meg3. Using Capture Hi-C, we found that this creates a Topologically Associating Domain (TAD) organization that brings Meg3 close to Dlk1 on the maternal chromosome. The requirement of Meg3 for gene repression and TAD structure may explain how aberrant MEG3 expression at the human DLK1-DIO3 locus associates with imprinting disorders.

Silencing of maternally expressed RNAs in Dlk1-Dio3 domain is critical for embryonic development

Project description:The mammalian imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 domain contains multiple lncRNAs, mRNAs, the largest miRNA cluster in the genome and four differentially methylated regions (DMRs), and deletion of maternal RNA within this locus results in embryonic lethality, but the mechanism by which this occurs is not clear. Here, we optimized the model of maternally expressed RNAs transcription termination in the domain and found that the cause of embryonic death was apoptosis in the embryo, particularly in the liver. We generated a mouse model of maternally expressed RNAs silencing in the Dlk1-Dio3 domain by inserting a 3×polyA termination sequence in Gtl2 locus. By analyzing mouse embryos RNA-Seq data combined with histological analysis, we found that silence of maternally expressed RNAs in the domain activated apoptosis, causing vascular rupture of fetal liver, resulting hemorrhage and injury. Mechanistically, termination of Gtl2 transcription results in the silencing of the maternally expressed RNAs and activation of the paternally expressed genes in the interval, and it is the gene itself rather than the IG-DMR and Gtl2-DMR that causes the above phenotypes. In conclusion, these findings illuminate a novel mechanism by which silencing of the maternally expressed RNAs within Dlk1-Dio3 domain leads to hepatic hemorrhage and embryonic death through activation of the apoptosis.

RNA Seq analyzed the transcriptional difference between the ICSI and ICAHCI embryo in blastocyst and placenta

Project description:Our lab first derived mouse androgenetic haploid embryonic stem cells (AG-haESCs) and demonstrated that AG-haESCs can be used as an “artificial spermatids” to generate gene-edited semi-cloned (SC) mice through intracytoplasmic injection (ICAHCI) into mature oocyte, even though the birth efficiency is very low. Further we proved that H19-DMR and IG-DMR were the main barrier to generate viable mice through androgenetic and parthenogenetic haESCs. More importantly, AG-haESCs mediated SC technology combined with CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful tool to generate gene-modified mouse models and carry out genetic screening at organismal level. However, it is still not clear how the H19-DMR and IG-DMR coordinately regulate SC embryo development. Here, we found that the H19-DMR and IG-DMR regulate the development of SC embryos in spatio-temporal scales. Firstly, we found that the H19-DMR and IG-DMR are not indispensable for the development of preimplantation of SC embryos. Secondly, H19-DMR is essential for the development of SC embryos in mid-gestation and IG-DMR takes effect in late-gestation. Further, the maintenance of paternal H19-DMR methylation status and deletion of paternal H19 transcription unit play a key role in the structures and transport functions of SC embryo placenta. Importantly, AG-haESCs carrying triple deletions, including H19, H19-DMR and IG-DMR, can further improve the efficiency in generation of viable, normal-size, and fertile mice.

The noncoding RNA IPW regulates the imprinted DLK1-DIO3 locus in an induced pluripotent stem cell model of Prader-Willi syndrome

Project description:Parental imprinting is a form of epigenetic regulation that results in parent-of-origin differential gene expression. To study Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a developmental imprinting disorder, we generated patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harboring distinct deletions in the affected region on chromosome 15. Studying PWS-iPSCs and human parthenogenetic iPSCs unexpectedly revealed substantial upregulation of virtually all maternally expressed genes (MEGs) in the imprinted DLK1-DIO3 locus on chromosome 14. Subsequently, we identified IPW, a long noncoding RNA in the critical region of the PWS locus, as a regulator of the DLK1-DIO3 region, as its over-expression in PWS and parthenogenetic iPSCs results in downregulation of the MEGs in this locus. We further show that gene expression changes in the DLK1-DIO3 region coincide with chromatin modifications, rather than DNA methylation levels. Our results suggest that a subset of PWS phenotypes may arise from dysregulation of an imprinted locus distinct from the PWS region. Gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 4 human cell lines, including 3 Prader-Willi Syndrome indcued pluripotent stem cell lines - derived from 3 affected individuals and one of their parental fibroblast cell line.
