Epigenetic age-predictions in mice using pyrosequencing, droplet digital PCR or barcoded bisulfite amplicon sequencing

ABSTRACT: Age-associated DNA methylation reflects aspect of biological aging - therefore epigenetic clocks for mice can help to elucidate the impact of treatments or genetic background on the aging process in this model organism. Initially, age-predictors for mice were trained for genome-wide DNA methylation profiles and we have recently described a targeted assay based on pyrosequencing of DNA methylation at only three CG dinucleotides (CpGs). Here, we have re-evaluated pyrosequencing approaches in comparison to droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and barcoded bisulfite amplicon sequencing (BBA-seq). At individual CpGs the correlation of DNA methylation with chronological age was slightly higher for pyrosequencing and ddPCR as compared to BBA-seq. On the other hand, BBA-seq revealed that neighboring CpGs tend to be stochastically modified at murine age-associated regions. Furthermore, the binary sequel of methylated and non-methylated CpGs in individual reads can be used for single-read predictions, which may reflect heterogeneity in epigenetic aging. In comparison to C57BL/6 mice the epigenetic age-predictions using BBA-seq were also accelerated in the shorter-lived DBA/2 mice, and in C57BL/6 mice with a lifespan quantitative trait locus of DBA/2 mice. Taken together, we describe further optimized and alternative targeted methods to determine epigenetic clocks in mice.

New Targeted Approaches for Epigenetic Age Predictions

Project description:In this study, we have optimized and directly compared epigenetic age predictors based on pyrosequencing, ddPCR and BBA-seq of specific age-associated regions. Bisulfite barcoded amplicon sequencing (BBA-seq) was performed on 9 genomic region of 77 human blood DNA and 11 genomic regions of 95 buccal swab DNA to measure age-associated regions for epigenetic age prediction. Furthermore, our data indicate that the correlation of age-associated DNAm with chronological age peaks close to CTCF binding sites. Age-associated DNAm is not coherently modified on individual DNA strands and this enabled alternative single-read age-predictors that reflect heterogeneity in epigenetic aging within a specimen.

A multi-tissue full lifespan epigenetic clock for mice [I]

Project description:Human DNA-methylation data have been used to develop highly accurate biomarkers of aging ("epigenetic clocks"). Recent studies demonstrate that similar epigenetic clocks for mice (Mus Musculus) can be slowed by gold standard anti-aging interventions such as calorie restriction and growth hormone receptor knock-outs. Using DNA methylation data from previous publications with data collected in house for a total 1189 samples spanning 193,651 CpG sites, we developed 4 novel epigenetic clocks by choosing different regression models (elastic net- versus ridge regression) and by considering different sets of CpGs (all CpGs vs highly conserved CpGs). We demonstrate that accurate age estimators can be built on the basis of highly conserved CpGs. However, the most accurate clock results from applying elastic net regression to all CpGs. While the anti-aging effect of calorie restriction could be detected with all types of epigenetic clocks, only ridge regression based clocks replicated the finding of slow epigenetic aging effects in dwarf mice. Overall, this study demonstrates that there are trade-offs when it comes to epigenetic clocks in mice. Highly accurate clocks might not be optimal for detecting the beneficial effects of anti-aging interventions.

Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of whole blood samples from C57BL/6 and DBA/2J healthy mice

Project description:Aging of mice can be tracked by DNA methylation changes at specific sites in the genome. In this study, we used the Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip to compare such epigenetic modifications in C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2J (DBA) mice. There were marked differences in age-associated DNA methylation in these commonly used mouse strains. In B6 the age-associated DNA methylation revealed general age-associated hypomethylation with focused hypermethylation at CpG islands, whereas this was hardly observed in DBA mice. The CpGs with highest age-correlation were overlapping in B6 and DBA and included the genes Hsf4, Prima1, Aspa, and Wnt3a. Notably, Hsf4, Prima1 were also top candidates in previous studies based on whole genome deep sequencing approaches. Furthermore, Hsf4, Aspa, and Wnt3a revealed highly significant age-associated DNA methylation in the homologous regions in human. Taken together, age-associated DNA methylation differs between B6 and DBA, but the most prominent regions are conserved, even in humans.

Development of an Epigenetic Clock Resistant to Changes in Immune Composition

Project description:Epigenetic clocks are age predictors that use machine-learning models trained on DNA CpG methylation values to predict chronological or biological age. Increases in predicted epigenetic age relative to chronological age (epigenetic age acceleration) are connected to aging-associated pathologies, and changes in epigenetic age are linked to canonical aging hallmarks. However, epigenetic clocks rely on training data from bulk tissues whose cellular composition changes with age. We found that human naive CD8+ T cells, which decrease during aging, exhibit an epigenetic age 15–20 years younger than effector memory CD8+ T cells from the same individual. Importantly, homogenous naive T cells isolated from individuals of different ages show a progressive increase in epigenetic age, indicating that current epigenetic clocks measure two independent variables, aging and immune cell composition. To isolate the age-associated cell intrinsic changes, we created a new clock, the IntrinClock, that did not change among 10 immune cell types tested. IntrinClock showed a robust predicted epigenetic age increase in a model of replicative senescence in vitro and age reversal during OSKM-mediated reprogramming

Methylation arrays (MethylationEPIC) of peripheral whole blood samples from adults aged between 19-96 years

Project description:Epigenetic remodeling is central to understanding the molecular mechanisms that occur and drive human aging. In fact, DNA methylation clocks are capable of estimating biological age, which determines human lifespan and healthspan. Here, using Illumina's MethylationEPIC array technology, we have profiled the DNA methylation landscape of peripheral whole blood samples from adult individuals ranging in age from 19 to 96 years.

Epigenetic drift during long-term culture of cells in vitro

Project description:Culture expansion of primary cells evokes highly reproducible DNA methylation (DNAm) changes These changes might be directly regulated or caused by 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) particularly the culture-associated hypomethylation is reversed simultaneously with age-associated and 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 oligoclonal subpolulations of MSCs 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, our results indicate that DNAm changes during culture-expansion resembles epigenetic drift

Epigenetic drift during long-term culture of cells in vitro [4C]

Project description:Culture expansion of primary cells evokes highly reproducible DNA methylation (DNAm) changes. These changes might be directly regulated or caused by 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) particularly the culture-associated hypomethylation is reversed simultaneously with age-associated and 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 oligoclonal subpolulations of MSCs 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, our results indicate that DNAm changes during culture-expansion resembles epigenetic drift.

DNA Methylation of primary human fibroblasts across replicative lifespan in normal and hyperglycemic conditions

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal (5.5mM) and high (25mM) glucose samples from primary human fibroblasts across the cellular lifespan. The Illumina Infinium EPIC Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 866,836 CpGs. Samples included 12 normal glucose time points and 14 high glucose time points, as well as, 6 technical replicates of normal glucose timepoint at 34.8 days. Methylation data was used to estimate the rate of aging occuring across replicative lifespan using several DNA methylation based Aging Clocks. Other analysis include comparing the overlap of age-related CpGs in vitro to in vivo, and describing the diverse kinetics of methylation sites across cellular lifespan.

Raw data for: Epigenetic Age and Long-Term Cancer Risk Following a Stroke

Project description:In this study, we investigated whether stroke patients who later developed cancer exhibited an accelerated epigenetic age compared to those who did not. A total of 648 stroke patients were followed for 15 years, during which 83 individuals were diagnosed with cancer. Biological age (B-age) was estimated from DNA methylation data derived from whole blood samples collected within 24 hours of stroke onset. These samples were analyzed using the 450K or EPIC Illumina Beadchip arrays. We employed several epigenetic clocks to calculate B-age, including the Hannum, Horvath, PhenoAge, ZhangBLUP, ZhangEN, and the mitotic epiTOC clocks. After adjusting for multiple testing, competing risks, and key confounders, we found that patients who developed cancer were biologically older, as measured by the Hannum clock. This repository provides the raw idat files and processed DNA methylation values.
