5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) profiling of H1 WT hESCs

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is essential to mammalian development, and aberrant regulation can lead to disease. The enzymes responsible for deposition and removal of DNA methylation have been identified, but how tightly regulated DNA methylation patterns are achieved globally remains a central question. To discover regulators of DNA methylation in human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs), we engineered a DNA methylation reporter line and performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas screen. Through our screen, we identified the functionally uncharacterized gene QSER1, which proved to be essential for protection from DNA hypermethylation at bivalent promoters and poised enhancers of developmental genes, especially those residing in DNA Methylation Valleys (DMVs). Further mechanistic enquiry revealed that QSER1 protein depends on TET1 for efficient recruitment to DNA, and QSER1 occupancy inhibits the binding of DNMT3B. Our discovery of QSER1 is a major advance in understanding TET-dependent protection from DNA hypermethylation and provides mechanistic insight into how epigenetic factors can cooperate to target locus-specific regulation.

DNA methylation is essential to mammalian development, and dysregulation can cause serious pathological conditions. Key enzymes responsible for deposition and removal of DNA methylation are known, but how they cooperate to tightly regulate the methylation landscape remains a central question. Utilizing a knockin DNA methylation reporter, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas screen in human embryonic stem cells to discover DNA methylation regulators. The top screen hit was an uncharacterized gene QSER1, which proved to be a key guardian of bivalent promoters and poised enhancers of developmental genes, especially those residing in DNA methylation valleys (or canyons). We further demonstrate cooperation of QSER1 and TET1 through genetic and biochemical interactions to inhibit DNMT3-mediated de novo methylation and safeguard developmental programs.

A role of Polycomb in the maintenance of hypomethylation for DNA methylation valley

Project description:DNA methylation valleys (DMVs) are large loci that are devoid of DNA methylation in the genome. We show that DMVs are hypomethylated at most stages in development and are highly conserved across vertebrates. Importantly, DMVs are hotspots of regulatory regions for key developmental regulator genes. 4C-seq analyses indicate that DMVs are insulated and self-interacting domains. By analyzing a panel of DNA methylomes for the mouse tissues, we have identified a subset of DMVs that are dynamically methylated. These DMVs are strongly enriched by Polycomb and their histone substrate H3K27me3 when the associated genes are silenced, and surprisingly show elevated DNA methylation upon gene activation. In support of a role of Polycomb in DMV hypomethylation, we observed aberrant methylation in DMVs in mESCs deficient for Eed. Finally, we showed that Polycomb regulates hypomethylation of DMVs likely through TET proteins.

Developmental Pathways Are Epigenetically Reprogrammed during Lung Cancer Brain Metastasis

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed and deadliest cancers worldwide, owing in large part to roughly half of all patients initially presenting with both primary and metastatic disease. While the major events in the metastatic cascade have been identified, a mechanistic understanding of how NSCLC routinely, successfully colonizes the brain is largely unknown. Recent studies have begun demonstrating the role of epigenetic mis-regulation within tumorigenesis as well as in the metastatic process, including widespread changes in DNA methylation and histone modifications. To better understand the role of DNA methylation alterations in NSCLC metastasis to brain, we measured DNA methylation during disease progression for 12 patients, globally profiling the methylation of their normal lung, primary lung tumor, and brain metastasis. We found that the variation in methylation is just as great; albeit less coordinated across genomic features, during metastatic spread as compared to primary tumorigenesis. The greatest recurrent methylation changes during metastatic progression occurred over DNA methylation valleys (DMVs) harboring H3K9me3 as well as bivalent marks H3K27me3 and H3K4me1 enrichment in normal lung. Mapping EZH2, the catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PCR2), binding locations in H1299, a lymph node-derived lung cancer cell line, revealed a loss of EZH2 binding within DMVs accompanied by an increase in DNA methylation, exemplifying epigenetic switching. The vast majority of these differentially methylated region-associated DMVs harbor developmental genes, suggesting that altered epigenetic regulation of developmentally important genes may confer a selective advantage during metastatic progression.

Poised RNA polymerase II co-localises with Polycomb repression at multi-lineage developmental regulator genes in differentiated neurons

Project description:Polycomb repression is tightly associated with promoter co-occupancy of poised RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs). However, it remains unclear whether poising is a specific feature of ESCs or also associated with Polycomb during cell differentiation. Here, we show that RNAPII poising at Polycomb repressed genes is found in five stages of ESC differentiation to dopaminergic neurons. We find that key transcription factor genes of non-neuronal lineages are kept silent in the neuronal lineage through Polycomb repression in co-association with poised RNAPII in the absence of DNA methylation within DNA Methylation Valleys (DMVs). This group of poised transcription factors are preferential candidate master regulators for trans-differentiation of neurons into different lineages. We conclude that RNAPII poising is a general feature of Polycomb repression and cell plasticity in pluripotent stem cells and terminally differentiated neurons.

S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase participates in DNA methylation inheritance

Project description:DNA (cytosine-5) methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is essential for mammalian development and maintenance of DNA methylation following DNA replication in cells. The DNA methylation process generates S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, a strong inhibitor of DNMT1. Here we report that S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH/AHCY), the only mammalian enzyme capable of hydrolyzing S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine binds to DNMT1 during DNA replication. SAHH activates DNMT1 in vitro and its overexpression in mammalian cells leads to hypermethylation of the genome, whereas its inhibition by adenosine periodate resulted in hypomethylation of the genome. Hypermethylation was consistent in both gene bodies and repetitive DNA elements leading to both down- and up-regulation of genes. Similarly, hypomethylation led to both up- and down-regulation of genes suggesting methylated regions influence gene expression either positively or negatively. Cells overexpressing SAHH specifically up-regulated metabolic pathway genes and down-regulated PPAR and MAPK signaling pathways genes. Therefore, we suggest that alteration of SAHH level in the cell leads to aberrant DNA methylation, altered metabolite levels and gene expression.

5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) Profiling of HUES8 WT and HUES8 TET1/2/3 TKO hESCs

Project description:The TET enzymes oxidize 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, which can lead to DNA demethylation. However, direct connections between TET-mediated DNA demethylation and transcriptional output are difficult to establish due to challenges of distinguishing global versus locus-specific effects. Here we show that TET1/2/3 triple knockout (TKO) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) exhibit preferential hypermethylation at bivalent promoters without corresponding gene expression changes in undifferentiated hESCs. In the absence of the TET proteins, abnormal accumulation of DNMT3B at bivalent promoters results in hypermethylation and impaired gene activation upon differentiation. Broadly, the competitive balance between the TET proteins and de novo methyltransferases at bivalent promoters could facilitate rapid changes of their methylation state to either activate or silence transcription in a cell-lineage and gene dependent manner.

Methylation profiling by array shows that mIDH-associated DNA hypermethylation in acute myeloid leukemia reflects differentiation blockage rather than inhibition of TET-mediated demethylation

Project description:Isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) are recurrently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but their mechanistic role in leukemogenesis is poorly understood. The inhibition of TET enzymes by D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG), which is produced by mutant IDH1/2 (mIDH1/2), has been suggested to promote epigenetic deregulation during tumorigenesis. In addition, mIDH also induces a differentiation block in various cell culture and mouse models. Here we analyze the genomic methylation patterns of AML patients with mIDH using Infinium 450K data from a large AML cohort and found that mIDH is associated with pronounced DNA hypermethylation at tens of thousands of CpGs. Interestingly, however, myeloid leukemia cells overexpressing mIDH, cells that were cultured in the presence of D-2-HG or TET2 mutant AML patients did not show similar methylation changes. In further analyses, we also characterized the methylation landscapes of myeloid progenitor cells and analyzed their relationship to mIDH-associated hypermethylation. Our findings identify the differentiation state of myeloid cells, rather than inhibition of TET-mediated DNA demethylation, as a major factor of mIDH-associated hypermethylation in AML. Furthermore, our results are also important for understanding the mode of action of currently developed mIDH inhibitors.
