Regulation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by TET2 contributes to Squamous Cell Carcinoma tumorigenesis

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is a key regulatory event controlling a variety of physiological processes and can have dramatic effects on gene transcription. Methylated Cytosine (5mC) can be oxidized by the TET family of enzymes to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), a key intermediate in the de-methylation cycle, and 5-hmC levels are reduced in malignancies such as AML and melanoma. We constructed a tissue microarray of human cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) tumors and found a global reduction in 5-hmC levels compared to adjacent skin. Using a murine K14-CreER system, we have found that loss of Tet2 promotes carcinogen-induced SCC, and cooperates with loss of Tp53 in to drive spontaneous SCC tumors in epithelial tissues. Loss of Tet2 in the normal epidermis leads to site-specific changes in 5-hmC levels, with many genes showing both increased and decreased levels of 5-hmC. Importantly, many of these changes were in genes regulating keratinocyte differentiation and self-renewal, consistent with reported roles for Tet enzymes in controlling lineage commitment in hematopoietic stem cells and ES cells. These results establish a functional role for Tet2 in the regulation of 5-hmC in the epidermis and demonstrate that Tet2 is a bone fide tumor suppressor in SCC.

Loss of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is an epigenetic hallmark of melanoma

Project description:DNA methylation at the 5-position of cytosine (5-mC) is a key epigenetic mark critical for varius biological and pathological processes. 5-mC can be converted to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) by the Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) family of DNA hydroxylases. Here we report that "loss of 5-hmC" is an epigenetic hallmark of melanoma with diagonostic and prognostic implications. Genome-wide mapping of 5-hmC in nevi and melanomas for the first time revealed loss of 5-hmC landscape in the melanoma epigenome. Downregulation of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) and TET family enzymes proved to be one of the mechanisms underlying the loss of 5-hmC during melanoma development, and rebuilding the 5-hmC landscape in the melanoma epigenome by reintroducing active TET2 or IDH2 suppressed melanoma growth and increased tumor-free survival. Thus, our study establishes that "loss of 5-hmC" is a new epigenetic hallmark of melanoma and links IDH and TET family enzymes-mediated 5-hmC putative tumor suppressor pathway to the suppression of melanoma progression. Determine the genome-wide distribution of 5mC and 5hmC in benign nevus tissue, melanoma tissue, A2058 MOCK cells (overexpressing empty vector), A2058 TET2 cells (overexpressing wild type human TET), and A2058 TET2M cells (overexpressing mutant human TET).

5-hydroxymethylcytosine marks promoters in colon that resist hypermethylation in cancer [Methylation450 Array]

Project description:The discovery of cytosine hydroxymethylation (5-hmC) as a mechanism that potentially controls DNA methylation changes typical of neoplasia prompted us to investigate its behavior in colon cancer. 5-hmC is globally reduced in proliferating cells such as colon tumors and the gut crypt progenitors, from which tumors can arise. Here, we show that colorectal tumors and cancer cells express Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) transcripts at levels similar to normal tissues. Genome-wide analyses show that promoters marked by 5-hmC in normal tissue, and those identified as TET2 targets in colorectal cancer cells, are resistant to methylation gain in cancer. In vitro studies of TET2 in cancer cells confirm that these promoters are resistant to methylation gain independently of sustained TET2 expression. We also find that a considerable number of the methylation gain-resistant promoters marked by 5-hmC in normal colon overlap with those that are marked with poised bivalent histone modifications in embryonic stem cells. Together our results indicate that promoters that acquire 5-hmC upon normal colon differentiation are innately resistant to neoplastic hypermethylation by mechanisms that do not require high levels of 5-hmC in tumors. Our study highlights the potential of cytosine modifications as biomarkers of cancerous cell proliferation. Six samples were analyzed. 2 biological replicates each of HCT116 cells stably transfected with an empty vector control (TET_KD_Plk), with shRNA to TET2 (TET_KD_2C) and with shRNA to TET2 and TET3 (TET_KD_2.3)

Distinct and stage-specific contributions of TET1 and TET2 to stepwise cytosine oxidation in the transition from naive to primed pluripotency

Project description:Cytosine DNA bases can be methylated by DNA methyltransferases and subsequently oxidized by TET proteins. The resulting 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) are considered demethylation intermediates as well as stable epigenetic marks. To dissect the contribution of these cytosine modifying enzymes, we generated combinations of Tet knockout (KO) embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and systematically measured protein and DNA modification levels at the transition from naive to primed pluripotency. Whereas the increase of genomic 5-methylcytosine (5mC) levels during exit from pluripotency correlated with an upregulation of the de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B, the subsequent oxidation steps turned out to be far more complex. The strong increase of oxidized cytosine bases (5hmC, 5fC, and 5caC) was accompanied by a drop in TET2 levels, yet the analysis of KO cells suggested that TET2 is responsible for most 5fC formation. The comparison of modified cytosine and enzyme levels in Tet KO cells revealed distinct and differentiation-dependent contributions of TET1 and TET2 to 5hmC and 5fC formation arguing against a processive mechanism of 5mC oxidation. The apparent independent steps of 5hmC and 5fC formation suggest yet to be identified mechanisms regulating TET activity and may constitute another layer of epigenetic regulation.
