Regulation of host antiviral factors expression by TET2-mediated DNA demethylation

ABSTRACT: Host antiviral innate immune response is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. TET2 oxidizes the methyl group of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in a process that activates demethylation of CpG DNA. Here, we characterize the genome-wide distribution of 5hmC in both wild-type and TET2-knockout THP-1 cells infected with the influenza A virus (IAV) using DNA immunoprecipitation by anti-5hmc antibody coupled with high-throughput DNA sequencing. 5hmC marks signature genes associated with host innate immune response against IAV infection. Moreover, TET2 expression is inhibited by IAV infection via viral endoribonuclease PA-X . Deletion of the TET2 gene in THP-1 cells decreased expression of genes related to interferon signaling. We further verified that TET2 plays a critical role in the expression of STAT1 and some interferon-stimulated genes through demethylation. Collectively, our findings demonstrate a key role of TET2-mediated active DNA demethylation in anti-IAV immunity.

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytsosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). 5fC/5caC can be excised and repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathway, implicating 5mC oxidation in active DNA demethylation. Genome-wide DNA methylation is erased in the transition from metastable states to ground state of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and in migrating primordial germ cells (PGCs), while some resistant regions become demethylated only in gonadal PGCs. Understanding the mechanisms underlying global hypomethylation in naïve ESCs and developing PGCs will be useful for realizing cellular pluripotency and totipotency. In this study, we found that PRDM14, the PR-domain-containing transcriptional regulator, accelerates the TET-BER cycle, resulting in the promotion of active DNA demethylation in ESCs. Induction of PRDM14 expression rapidly removed the 5mC associated with transient elevation of 5hmC at pluripotency-associated genes, germline-specific genes, and imprinted loci but not across the entire genome, which resemble second wave of DNA demethylation in gonadal PGCs. PRDM14 physically interacts with TET1/TET2 and enhances the recruitment of TET1/TET2 at target loci. Knockdown of Tet1/Tet2 impaired transcriptional regulation and DNA demethylation by PRDM14. The repression of the BER pathway by administration of pharmacological inhibitors against APE1 and PARP1 and the knockdown of thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) also impaired DNA demethylation by PRDM14. Furthermore, DNA demethylation induced by PRDM14 normally takes place in the presence of aphidicolin, which is an inhibitor of G1/S progression. Together, our analysis provides mechanistic insight into DNA demethylation in naive pluripotent stem cells and developing PGCs. To investigate the function of TET1/TET2 in transcriptional regulation by PRDM14 in ESCs, we exploited microarray analysis using total mRNA derived from Scramble, Scramble + PRDM14, Tet1/Tet2 KD, Tet1/Tet2 KD + PRDM14 mouse ESC.
