Dynamics of mitochondrial DNA methylation in oocytes, embryos and granulosa cells

ABSTRACT: Comparison of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation patterns in oocytes, blastocysts and ovarian granulosa cells indicates hitherto unsuspected dynamics. Oocytes and blastocysts recovered from animals subjected to ovarian stimulation and from abattoir ovaries were analyzed using bisulphite transformation of DNA followed by whole genome sequencing. The number of mtDNA copies is quite high in oocytes (200–400,000) and early embryos, resulting in very high coverage (> 3000 X) and very low p values for each of 716 cytosine-based nucleosides. Methylation was lowest in oocytes, following by blastocysts then granulosa cells and was not restricted to CpG sites but found also at CHG and CHH sites not distributed randomly. Analysis of the corresponding genomic DNA also revealed numerous methylated CHG and CHH sites, particularly in oocytes. In association with ovarian stimulation, mtDNA methylation was lower in oocytes than in blastocysts, suggesting a developmental function. RNA analysis of mitochondria encoded genes showed a significant inverse correlation between methylation and expression level for all sequences. Methylation was more extensive in mature animals than in pre-pubertal animals and the profile in granulosa cells differed strikingly from those in oocytes and blastocysts. Although preliminary, the results suggest that mtDNA methylation might play a role during gametogenesis and might be subject to regulation according to animal environment and/or age.

DNA methylation dynamics during cotton ovule and fiber development [Bisulfite-Seq]

Project description:DNA methylation is essential for plant and animal development. In plants, methylation occurs at CG, CHG, and CHH (H = A, C or T) sites. CHH methylation is established by the small RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway. Cotton is an allotetraploid consisting of two progenitor genomes, and each cotton fiber is a rapidly-elongating cell from the ovule epidermis. Here we show that inhibiting DNA methylation impairs fiber development. Genome-wide bisulfite -, mRNA-, and small RNA-sequencing analyses reveal that CHH hypermethyaltion through RdDM in euchromatin is associated with expression changes of nearby genes in ovules. The ovule-derived fiber cells not only maintain euchromatic CHH hypermethylation, but also generate additional heterochromatic CHH hypermethylation independent of RdDM. Moreover, CHG and CHH methylation in promoter and transcribed regions contribute to the expression bias of homoeologous genes in the allotetraploid cotton. This epigenetic and expression dynamics of developmental regulation could provide a molecular basis for natural selection and domestication of plants and animals.

DNA methylation dynamics during early plant life

Project description:We uncover distinct DNA methylation dynamics over genes and repeat sequences during early plant life in Arabidopsis. While gene body methylation, which is restricted to CG sites and concerns 20-30% of all genes is detected at all stages examined, it typically fluctuates over a few CGs, with no coherent pattern. In contrast, transposable elements and their relics as well as other repeat sequences, have consistently high methylation levels at CGs and show increasing CHG and especially CHH methylation during embryogenesis. Remarkably, methylation reaches 100% at many individual CHH sites in the mature embryo, compared to the 10-20% methylation usually observed at CHH sites in seedlings or adult plants. Moreover, the progressive increase in CHG and CHH methylation in embryos mirrors the loss of DNA methylation at CG and CHG sites in the endosperm, suggesting transfer of information from the endosperm to the embryo, presumably in the form of small RNAs. Finally, impairing the embryo to seedling transition through loss of PRC2 activity results in the persistence of high CHH methylation levels after germination and specifically over sequences that are targeted by the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) machinery. Collectively, our findings indicate a lack of extensive resetting of DNA methylation patterns during early plant life and point instead to an important role of RdDM in targeting DNA methylation to transposable element and other repeat sequences in all cells of the mature embryo.

The maize methylome modulates mRNA splicing and reveals widespread paramutation guided by small RNA.

Project description:Methylation of chromosomal DNA in animals and plants is a fundamental mechanism of epigenetic regulation, and the maize genome, with its diverse complement of transposons and repeats, is a paradigm for transgenerational mechanisms such as paramutation and imprinting. We have determined the genome-wide cytosine methylation map of two maize inbred lines, B73 and Mo17, at high coverage and at single nucleotide resolution. Transposon methylation is highest in CG (65%) and CHG (50%) contexts (where H = A, C or T), while methylation in CHH (5%) contexts is guided by 24nt small interfering RNA (siRNA), and not by 21-22nt siRNA. We have found that CG (8%) methylation seems to deter insertion of Mutator transposons into exons, while CHH and CHG methylation at splice donor and acceptor sites strongly inhibits RNA splicing. Methylation differences between parents are inherited in recombinant inbred lines, but methylation switches, guided by siRNA, are widespread and persist for up to 8 generations. These differences influence splicing, and recurrent switching suggest that paramutation is much more common than previously supposed, and may contribute to heterosis. Our results provide a comprehensive high resolution resource for maize genome methylation, as well as a map of recurrent transgenerational epigenetic shifts (paramutation) in the two most commonly used inbred maize lines. Genome-wide cytosine methylation map in 2 maize strains by bisulfite sequencing, and RNA and small RNA profiles in the same tissue using Illumina platform.

Dynamic Roles for Small RNAs and DNA Methylation during Ovule and Fiber Development in Allotetraploid Cotton

Project description:DNA methylation is essential for plant and animal development. In plants, methylation occurs at CG, CHG, and CHH (H = A, C or T) sites via distinct pathways. Cotton is an allotetraploid consisting of two progenitor genomes. Each cotton fiber is a rapidly-elongating cell derived from the ovule epidermis, but the molecular basis for this developmental transition is unknown. Here we analyzed methylome, transcriptome, and small RNAome and revealed distinct changes in CHH methylation during ovule and fiber development. In ovules, CHH hypermethylation in promoters correlated positively with siRNAs, inducing RNA-dependent DNA methylation (RdDM), and up-regulation of ovule-preferred genes. In fibers, the ovule-derived cells generated additional heterochromatic CHH hypermethylation independent of RdDM, which repressed transposable elements (TEs) and nearby genes including fiber-related genes. Furthermore, CHG and CHH methylation in genic regions contributed to homoeolog expression bias in ovules and fibers. Inhibiting DNA methylation using 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine in cultured ovules has reduced fiber cell number and length, suggesting a potential role for DNA methylation in fiber development. Thus, RdDM-dependent methylation in promoters and RdDM-independent methylation in TEs and nearby genes could act as a double-lock feedback mechanism to mediate gene and TE expression, potentiating the transition from epidermal to fiber cells during ovule and seed development.

Widespread natural variation of DNA methylation within angiosperms

Project description:DNA methylation is a chemical modification of DNA that can be faithfully inherited across generations in flowering plant genomes. Failure to properly maintain DNA methylation can lead to epigenetic variation and transposon reactivation. Plant genomes are dynamic, spanning large ranges in size and there is an interplay between the genome and epigenome in shaping one another. To understand the variation in genomic patterning of DNA methylation between species, we compared methylomes of numerous diverse angiosperm species. By examining these variations in a phylogenetic context it becomes clear that there is extensive variation in mechanisms that govern gene body DNA methylation, euchromatic silencing of transposons and repeats, as well as silencing of heterochromatic transposons. Extensive variation is observed at all cytosine sequence contexts (CG, CHG and CHH, where H = A, C, T), with the Brassicaceae showing reduced CHG methylation levels and also reduced or loss of CG gene-body methylation. The Poaceae are characterized by a lack or reduction of heterochromatic CHH methylation and enrichment of CHH methylation in genic regions. Reduced CHH methylation levels are found in clonally propagated species, suggesting that these methods of propagation may alter the epigenomic landscape over time, in the absence of sexual reproduction. These results show that DNA methylation targeting pathways have diverged functionally and that extant DNA methylation patterns are likely a reflection of the evolutionary and life histories of plant species. Bisulfite-seq of leaf tissue from plants representing diverse angiosperms. RNA-seq and small RNA-seq was performed on leaf tissue of a subset of the species.

Genome-wide methylation profile of mitochondrial DNA across bovine preimplantation development

Project description:This study characterized variations in the methylation profile of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) during initial bovine embryo development and correlated the presence of methylation with mtDNA transcription. Bovine oocytes were obtained from abattoir ovaries and submitted to in vitro culture procedures. Oocytes and embryos were collected at various stages (immature oocyte, IM; mature oocyte, MII; zygote, ZY; 4-cells, 4C; 16-cells, 16C and blastocysts, BL). Total DNA (including mtDNA) was used for Whole Genome Enzymatic Methyl Sequencing and for quantification of mtDNA copy number. Extracted RNA was used for quantification of mitochondrial transcripts (ND6, CYTB, tRNA-Phe and tRNA-Gln) using Droplet Digital PCR. The number of mtDNA copies per oocyte/embryo was found to be similar, while methylation levels in mtDNA varied among stages. Higher total methylation levels were found mainly at 4C and 16C. In specific gene regions, higher methylation levels were also observed at 4C and 16C (ND6, CYTB and tRNA-Phe), as well as an inverse correlation with the quantity of transcripts for these regions. This is a first description of epigenetic changes occurring in mtDNA during early embryonic development. Our results indicate that methylation might regulate the mtDNA transcription at a local level, particularly around the time of embryonic genome activation.
