Dynamic Changes in the Human Methylome During Differentiation

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic regulator in mammalian development. Here, we present a whole genome comparative view of DNA methylation using bisulfite sequencing of three cultured cell types representing progressive stages of differentiation: human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), a fibroblastic differentiated derivative of the hESCs, and neonatal fibroblasts. As a reference, we compared our maps with a methylome map of a fully differentiated adult cell type, mature peripheral blood mononuclear cells (monocytes). We observed many notable common and cell type-specific features among all cell types. Promoter hypomethylation (both CG and CA) and higher levels of gene body methylation were positively correlated with transcription in all cell types. Exons were more highly methylated than introns and sharp transitions of methylation occurred at exon-intron boundaries, suggesting a role for differential methylation in transcript splicing. Developmental stage was reflected in both the level of global methylation and extent of non-CpG methylation, with hESC highest, fibroblasts intermediate, and monocytes lowest. Differentiation-associated differential methylation profiles were observed for developmentally regulated genes, including the HOX clusters, other homeobox transcription factors, and pluripotence-associated genes such as POU5F1, TCF3, and KLF4. Our results highlight the value of high-resolution methylation maps, in conjunction with other systems-level analyses, for investigation of previously undetectable developmental regulatory mechanisms.

A unique epigenetic signature is associated with active DNA replication loci in human embryonic stem cells

Project description:The cellular epigenetic landscape changes as pluripotent stem cells differentiate to somatic cells or when differentiated cells transform to a cancerous state. These epigenetic changes are commonly correlated with differences in gene expression. Whether active DNA replication is also associated with distinct chromatin environments in these developmentally and phenotypically diverse cell types has not been known. Here, we used BrdU-seq to map active DNA replication loci in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), normal primary fibroblasts and a cancer cell line, and correlated these maps to the epigenome. In all cell lines, the majority of BrdU peaks were enriched in euchromatin and at DNA repetitive elements, especially at microsatellite repeats, and coincided with previously determined replication origins. The most prominent BrdU peaks were shared between all cells but a sizable fraction of the peaks were specific to each cell type and associated with cell type-specific genes. Surprisingly, the BrdU peaks that were common to all cell lines were associated with H3K18ac, H3K56ac, and H4K20me1 histone marks only in hESCs but not in normal fibroblasts or cancer cells. Depletion of the histone acetyltransferases for H3K18 and H3K56 dramatically decreased the number and intensity of BrdU peaks in hESCs. Our data reveal a unique epigenetic signature that distinguishes active replication loci in hESCs from normal somatic or malignant cells.

Transcription profiling of mouse primary dermal fibroblasts treated with the de-methylating agent 5-aza-2?-deoxycytidine vs untreated to investigate methylation related changes in gene expression

Project description:DNA methylation can contribute to the stable transcriptional silencing of mammalian genes. Oftentimes, these genes are important developmental regulators, and their silencing in cell types where they are not supposed to be active is important for the phenotypic stability of the cells. To identify key developmental regulator genes whose expression in terminally differentiated cells may be inhibited by DNA methylation, mouse dermal fibroblasts were demethylated with 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine, and changes in gene expression monitored by microarray analysis. Three biological replicates for both control and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine treatment were derived. Cells were primary mouse dermal fibroblasts derived by explant procedure separately for each biological replicate. Treated cells were exposed to 5uM 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine for 96 hours with recovery in normal medium for 24 hours. Control cells were untreated.

An atlas of in vivo transcribed enhancers in human primary cells

Project description:Enhancers are powerful regulatory regions, important for development and the maintenance of differentiated cells and tissues. Here, we generate global maps for two enhancer-associated histone marks, H3K4me1 and H3K27ac for a number of major human blood cell types. This data was generated to show that capped RNAs transcribed bidirectionally can identify known and novel enhancers in vivo.

Proteome of rice shoot apical meristem

Project description:DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that specifies the basic state of pluripotent stem cells and regulates the developmental transition from stem cells to various cell types. In flowering plants, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) contains a pluripotent stem cell population which generates the aerial part of plants including the germ cells. Under appropriate conditions, the SAM undergoes a developmental transition from a leaf-forming vegetative SAM to an inflorescence- and flower-forming reproductive SAM. While SAM characteristics are largely altered in this transition, the complete picture of DNA methylation remains elusive. Here, by analyzing whole-genome DNA methylation of isolated rice SAMs in the vegetative and reproductive stages, we found that methylation at CHH sites is kept high, particularly at transposable elements (TEs), in the vegetative SAM relative to the differentiated leaf, and increases in the reproductive SAM via the RNA-dependent DNA methylation pathway. We also found that half of the TEs that were highly methylated in gametes had already undergone CHH hypermethylation in the SAM. Our results indicate that changes in DNA methylation begin in the SAM long before germ cell differentiation to protect the genome from harmful TEs.

Reprogramming human fat cells into iPS cells

Project description:This study determined whether human adipose stem cells (hASCs) could be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells using the 4 factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and cMYC. We showed successfull reprogramming could be achieved in which fat/adipose cells were able to assume embryonic-like phenotypes after lentiviral transduction with the 4 factors. Further, we believe these fat cells are intrinsically better-suited for reprogramming compared to fibroblasts, and result in higher yields of iPS cells. Microarray study was performed in duplicates (hASCs, iPS cells derived from hASCs, and hESCs). Reference control was pooled RNA taken from H9 hESCs, embryoid bodies, and some differentiated cell types such as endothelial cells.

Single cell RNA-seq revealed different cell types induced by loss of ARID1A in undifferentiated and differentiation (day 10) H9 hESCs.

Project description:We reported loss of ARID1A promoted neurogenesis and inhibited cardiogenesis. Under microscopy, we observed that spontaneously differentiated cells were induced in ARID1A KO H9 hESCs cultured in mTesR medium. After cardiac differentiation for 10 days, we also observed the cell types were totally different between WT and ARID1A KO cells. We did not know what cells types were. Here scRNA-seq were used to identify the cell types in WT H9 hESCs and ARID1A KO H9 hESCs.
