Epigenetic drift during long-term culture of cells in vitro [ChIP-seq]


ABSTRACT: Culture expansion of primary cells evokes highly reproducible DNA methylation (DNAm) changes at specific sites in the genome. These changes might be due to an directly regulated epigenetic process, or to gradual deregulation of the epigenetic state, which is often referred to as “epigenetic drift”. We have identified CG dinucleotides (CpGs) that become continuously hyper- or hypomethylated in the course of culture expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and other cell types. During reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) the long-term culture-associated hypomethylation is reversed simultaneously with pluripotency-associated DNAm changes. Bisulfite barcoded amplicon sequencing (BBA-seq) demonstrated that upon passaging the DNAm patterns of neighboring CpGs become more complex without evidence of continuous pattern development and without association to dominant subclones at later passages. Circularized chromatin conformation capture (4C) revealed reproducible changes in nuclear organization between early and late passages, while there was no preferential interaction with other genomic regions that also harbor culture-associated DNAm changes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of CTCF did not show significant differences during long-term culture of MSCs, however culture-associated hypermethylation was enriched at CTCF binding sites and hypomethylated CpGs were devoid of CTCF. Taken together, the DNAm changes during culture-expansion of cells cannot be attributed to cellular subsets, whereas they seem to resemble epigenetic drift in relation to chromatin conformation.
