Project description:We reported that, in C57BL/6Slac mice, prenatally exposure to low-dose BPA induces up-regulation of genes associated with neuronal function and down-regulation of genes related to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Three-dimensional chromatin organization of these differential expressed genes revealed that up-regulated genes are primarily under control of remote enhancers, while down-regulated genes appear to be regulated by chromatin interactions among relative adjacent genes. Further examination of genome-wide repressive epigenetic modifications, specifically DNA methylation, H3K27me3, and H3K9me3 revealed that transcription of down-regulated genes might be repressed directly by enhanced DNA methylation and H3K27me3 modifications at promoter regions and indirectly by increased DNA methylation at their corresponding interaction regions, while up-regulated genes might be regulated by loss of H3K9me3 occupancy on distal regulatory regions.

Project description:Characteristic features of chromatin states are not limited to particular epigenetic modifications but include other regulatory cues, such as linker DNA length, typically ranging from between 35-55 bp (Valouev et al, 2011; Voong et al., 2016, Cell) to over 200 bp in nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) found at active enhancers and promoters (Schones et al, 2008; Hansen He et al, 2010). To investigate whether and how the nucleosome linker DNA affects chromatin recognition by nuclear proteins we performed a set of affinity purifications using di-nucleosomes incorporating different DNA linkers. This dataset contains experiments aimed to probe how the linker DNA length affects protein binding to di-nucleosomes decorated with H3K9me3 or H3K27me3. The following di-nucleosomes were used in affinity pull-down purifications with HeLa nuclear extract followed by label-free MS: 1. unmod. H3, 35 bp linker 2. unmod. H3, 40 bp linker 3. unmod. H3, 45 bp linker 4. unmod. H3, 50 bp linker 5. unmod. H3, 55 bp linker 6. H3K9me3, 35 bp linker 7. H3K9me3, 40 bp linker 8. H3K9me3, 45 bp linker 9. H3K9me3 50 bp linker 10. H3K9me3, 55 bp linker 11. H3K27me3, 35 bp linker 12. H3K27me3, 40 bp linker 13. H3K27me3, 45 bp linker 14. H3K27me3, 50 bp linker 15. H3K27me3, 55 bp linker

Project description:DNA (cytosine-5) methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is essential for mammalian development and maintenance of DNA methylation following DNA replication in cells. The DNA methylation process generates S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, a strong inhibitor of DNMT1. Here we report that S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH/AHCY), the only mammalian enzyme capable of hydrolyzing S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine binds to DNMT1 during DNA replication. SAHH activates DNMT1 in vitro and its overexpression in mammalian cells leads to hypermethylation of the genome, whereas its inhibition by adenosine periodate resulted in hypomethylation of the genome. Hypermethylation was consistent in both gene bodies and repetitive DNA elements leading to both down- and up-regulation of genes. Similarly, hypomethylation led to both up- and down-regulation of genes suggesting methylated regions influence gene expression either positively or negatively. Cells overexpressing SAHH specifically up-regulated metabolic pathway genes and down-regulated PPAR and MAPK signaling pathways genes. Therefore, we suggest that alteration of SAHH level in the cell leads to aberrant DNA methylation, altered metabolite levels and gene expression.

Project description:Epigenetic modifications in the form of altered DNA or histone methylation can influence gene expression patterns critical for neoplastic initiation and progression. The fact that abnormal gene expression can be driven by epigenetic alterations led us to examine the correlation between DNA methylation, trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3) and lysine 27 (H3K27me3), and gene expression in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Using genome-wide approaches (chromatin immunoprecipitation/sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and methylation arrays), we identified gene targets that were enriched with the chromatin-repressive marks H3K9me3, H3K27me3, and/or DNA hypermethylation across patients with EAC. Using RNA-Seq, we found genes involved in cellular morphology and movement, epithelial cell differentiation, epithelial junction signaling, as well as genes involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were down-regulated in patients with poorly differentiated EAC. Additionally, comparative analyses of ChIP-Seq, DNA methylation, and RNA-Seq data allowed us to identify a group of genes downregulated in EAC is associated with aberrant H3K27me3 enrichment or a combination of H3K27me3 and DNA hypermethylation in the poorly differentiated EAC cases. Furthermore, by comparison to TCGA data sets, H3K27me3 enrichment is associated with aberrant DNA methylation across numerous EAC cases, suggesting that dysregulation of H3K27me3 and DNA methylation is crucial in the pathogenesis of EAC.

Project description:While genetic mutation is a hallmark of cancer, many cancers also acquire epigenetic alterations during tumorigenesis including aberrant DNA hypermethylation of tumor suppressors as well as changes in chromatin modifications as caused by genetic mutations of the chromatin-modifying machinery. However, the extent of epigenetic alterations in cancer cells has not been fully characterized. Here, we describe the first complete methylome maps at single nucleotide resolution of a low-passage breast cancer cell line and primary human mammary epithelial cells. We find widespread DNA hypomethylation in the cancer cell, primarily at partially methylated domains (PMDs) in normal breast cells. Unexpectedly, genes within these regions are largely silenced in cancer cells. The loss of DNA methylation in these regions is accompanied by formation of repressive chromatin, with a significant fraction displaying allelic DNA methylation where one allele is DNA methylated while the other allele is occupied by histone modifications H3K9me3 or H3K27me3. Our results show a mutually exclusive and complementary relationship between DNA methylation and H3K9me3 or H3K27me3. These results suggest that global DNA hypomethylation in breast cancer is tightly linked to the formation of repressive chromatin domains and gene silencing, thus identifying a potential epigenetic pathway for gene regulation in cancer cells and suggesting a possible new approach toward the development of cancer therapeutics.

Project description:Genome wide chromatin maps have shown that spreading repressive histone modifications such as H3K9me3 and H4K20me3 are present on pericentromeric and telomeric repeats and on the inactive X chromosome where H3K27me3 or H3K9me3 alternately modify megabasepair sized domains. However, only a few regions along an autosome of which Homeobox gene clusters are notable examples, have been shown to display spreading of repressive histone modifications. Here we present a ChIP-Chip map of repressive and active histone modifications along mouse Chr.17 in embryonic, fibroblast cells. Our results show that the majority of H3K27me3 modifications form BLOCs rather than focal peaks. H3K27me3 BLOCs modify silent genes of all types and their flanking intergenic regions, indicating a negative correlation between H3K27me3 and transcription. However, non-transcribed gene-poor regions also lacked H3K27me3. We therefore performed a low resolution analysis of whole mouse Chr.17 which revealed that H3K27me3 specifically marks megabasepair sized domains that are enriched for genes, SINEs and active histone modifications. These genic H3K27me3 domains alternate with similar sized gene-poor domains that are deficient in active histone modifications, but enriched for LINE and LTR transposons as well as H3K9me3 and H4K20me3. Thus, a mouse autosome can be seen to contain alternating chromatin bands that predominantly separate genes from one retrotransposons class, which could offer unique chromatin compartments for the specific regulation of genes or the silencing of transposons. mapping of H3K27me3 histone modification in one MEF cell line (MEFF)
