Project description:To define TET3 function in cell differentiation, we profiled the intestinal epithelium at the single-cell level from wild-type and Tet3 knockout mice. Our works shows that, in the absence of TET3, enterocytes exhibit an aberrant differentiation trajectory and do not acquire a physiological cell identity due to an impairment in oxidative phosphorylation, specifically due to the reduced expression of genes encoding for ATP synthase membrane domain subunits. To assess whether the downregulation of ATP synthase subunits upon TET3 loss was due to a TET3 catalytic or non-catalytic activity, we examined global DNA methylation patterns in wild-type and Tet3 knockout intestinal epithelium by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). Our results show that these critical ATP synthase subunits coding-genes did not show any hyperDMR in their regulatory regions, excluding TET3 catalytic activity as the mechanism underlying their decreased gene expression and, pointing thus to TET3 non-catalytic activity.

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) hydroxylases (Tet1-3) oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). In neurons increased 5hmC levels within gene bodies correlate positively with gene expression. The mechanisms controlling Tet activity and 5hmC levels are poorly understood. In particular, it is not known how the neuronal Tet3 isoform lacking a DNA binding domain is targeted to the DNA. To identify factors binding to Tet3 we screened for proteins that co-precipitate with Tet3 from mouse retina and identified the transcriptional repressor Rest as a highly enriched Tet3-specific interactor. Rest was able to enhance Tet3 hydroxylase activity after co-expression and overexpression of Tet3 activated transcription of Rest-target genes. Moreover, we found that Tet3 also interacts with Nsd3 and two other H3K36 methyltransferases and is able to induce H3K36 trimethylation. We propose a mechanism for transcriptional activation in neurons that involves Rest-guided targeting of Tet3 to the DNA for directed 5hmC-generation and Nsd3-mediated H3K36 trimethylation.

Project description:DNA hydroxymethylation is frequently lost in glioblastoma. We hypothesized that reduced 5hmC levels might be related to the impaired expression of TET proteins in brain tumors. In this study we performed a genome-wide methylation analysis of LN229 cells stably transfected with scramble or TET3 overexpressing vectors. TET3 overexpression partially restored the genome-wide patterns of 5hmC characteristic of control brain samples in glioblastoma cell lines.

Project description:Ten-eleven-translocation (TET) proteins catalyze DNA hydroxylation, playing an important role in demethylation of DNA in mammals. Remarkably, although hydroxymethylation levels are high in the mouse brain, the potential role of TET proteins in adult neurogenesis is unknown. We show here that a non-catalytic action of TET3 is essentially required for the maintenance of the neural stem cell (NSC) pool in the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) niche by preventing premature differentiation of NSCs into non-neurogenic astrocytes. This occurs through direct binding of TET3 to the paternal transcribed allele of the imprinted gene Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein-associated polypeptide N (Snrpn), contributing to transcriptional repression of the gene. The study also identifies BMP2 as an effector of the astrocytic terminal differentiation mediated by SNRPN. Our work describes a novel mechanism of control of an imprinted gene in the regulation of adult neurogenesis through an unconventional role of TET3.

Project description:PGC7 is a primordial germ cell (PGCs)-specific protein involved in epigenetic chromatin reprogramming in the zygote following fertilization. TET3 is a dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and plays a key role in epigenetic chromatin reprogramming in the zygote following fertilization. PGC7 participates in protection of DNA methylation in the maternal pronucleus by preventing conversion of 5mC to 5hmC by TET3 oxidization subsequent DNA demethylation. Thus we tested the co-localization of PGC7 and TET3 in specific loci by ChIP-seq assays.

Project description:TET enzymes oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a process thought to be intermediary in an active DNA demethylation mechanism. Notably, 5hmC is highly abundant in the brain and in neuronal cells. Here we show that Tet3 is highly upregulated during neuronal differentiation and necessary to maintain silencing of pluripotency-associated genes in neural precursor cells (NPCs). Indeed, Tet3 knockdown (KD) in NPCs led to a significant increase in Oct4 and Nanog gene expression, with OCT4-positive cells appearing as cellular aggregates. Moreover, Tet3 KD led to a genome-scale loss of DNA methylation and hypermethylation of a small number of CpGs that are notably located at neurogenesis-related genes and at imprinting control regions (ICRs) of three imprinted genes (Peg10, Zrsr1 and Mcts2). Our results suggest that TET3 plays a pivotal role in maintaining neural stem cell identity and DNA methylation levels in neural precursor cells, and point to a non-catalytic role for TET3 in neural differentiation.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) was attributed to alterations in multiple epigenetic systems including DNA methylation and demethylation patterns. DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosin (5hmC), an epigenetic hallmark, plays importantly regulatory role in many biological processes. However, the 5hmC-mediated epigenetic underpinnings of AD neurodegeneration remain poorly understood. Here we report that selective loss of 5hmC is substantially presented in human AD and 3xTg-AD mouse neocortical and hippocampal neurons. Quantitative genome-wide analysis of hMeDIP-seq reveals that neuron-specific shift in decreased 5hmC enrichment in regions of promoter, intergenic and gene body of mRNA and lncRNA genes was found in3xTg-AD mice. We further identified that TET3, an enzyme that converts 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5hmC, responded to Beta amyloid neuronal toxicity and was mainly responsible for loss of 5hmC in AD brain. Overexpression of human TET3 catalytic domain (hTET3CD) significantly improves the neuroinflammation, neuropathological progression and cognitive deficits in 3xTg-AD mice. These findings implicate as a potential hallmark, TET3-mediated 5hmC epigenetic dysregulation is involved in driving AD neurodegeneration.

Project description:Principal neurons in the mammalian brain exit cell cycle and execute a complex and prolonged differentiation program that continues into early adult life. Although high levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) accumulate in neurons, it is not known whether 5hmC can serve as an intermediate in DNA demethylation in postmitotic neurons. Here we report high resolution mapping of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation, chromatin accessibility, and activating and repressive histone marks in developing postmitotic Purkinje cells (PCs). Our data reveal new relationships between PC transcriptional and epigenetic programs, and identify a class of late expressed genes that lose both 5mC and 5hmC during terminal differentiation. Deletion of the 5hmC writers Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 from postmitotic Purkinje cells prevents loss of 5mC and 5hmC in regulatory domains and gene bodies and hinders transcriptional and epigenetic developmental transitions, resulting in hyper-excitability and increased susceptibility to excitotoxic drugs. Our data demonstrate that Tet-mediated active DNA demethylation occurs in vivo, and that acquisition of the precise molecular and electrophysiological properties of adult PCs requires continued oxidation of 5mC to 5hmC during the final phases of differentiation.
