Project description:We surveyed the DNA methylation levels of 435,941 CpG sites in samples from 764 children at diagnosis of ALL and from 27 children at relapse. This survey uncovered four characteristic methylation signatures. First, compared with control blood cells, the methylomes of ALL cells shared 9,406 predominantly hypermethylated CpG sites, independent of cytogenetic background. Second, each cytogenetic subtype of ALL displayed a unique set of hyper- and hypomethylated CpG sites. The CpG sites that constituted these two signatures differed in their functional genomic enrichment to regions with marks of active or repressed chromatin. Third, we identified subtype-specific differential methylation in promoter and enhancer regions that were strongly correlated with gene expression. Fourth, a set of 6,612 CpG sites was predominantly hypermethylated in ALL cells at relapse, compared with matched samples at diagnosis. Analysis of relapse-free survival identified CpG sites with subtype-specific differential methylation that divided the patients into different risk groups, depending on their methylation status. The DNA methylation levels of primary pediatric ALL samples taken at diagnosis (n= 764), remission(n=86), first relapse (n=27), second relapse (n=5), fractionated blood cells from healthy blood donors (n=51), and methylation +/- controls (n=11) were analyzed with the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation 450k BeadChips. One ALL sample was run in duplicate (technical replicate).

Project description:Here we characterize an association between disease progression and DNA methylation in Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). By profiling genome-wide DNA methylation at single base-pair resolution in thirteen DLBCL diagnosis-relapse sample pairs, we show DLBCL patients exhibit heterogeneous evolution of tumor methylomes during relapse. We identify differentially methylated regulatory elements and determine a relapse–associated methylation signature converging on key pathways such as transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) receptor activity. We also observe decreased intra-tumor methylation heterogeneity from diagnosis to relapsed tumor samples. Relapse-free patients display lower intra-tumor methylation heterogeneity at diagnosis compared to relapsed patients in an independent validation cohort. Furthermore, intra-tumor methylation heterogeneity is predictive of time to relapse. Therefore, we propose that epigenomic heterogeneity may support or drive the relapse phenotype and can be used to predict DLBCL relapse. Using ERRBS, we profiled genome-wide DNA methylation patterns of non-relapse DLBCL tumor samples at diagnosis, relaspe DLBCL patient samples at diagnosis and relaspe.

Project description:Background: Despite increased knowledge about genetic aberrations in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), no clinically feasible treatment-stratifying marker exists at diagnosis. Instead patients are enrolled in intensive induction therapies with substantial side effects. In modern protocols, therapy response is monitored by minimal residual disease (MRD) analysis, and used for post-induction risk group stratification. DNA methylation profiling is a candidate for subtype discrimination at diagnosis and we investigated its role as a prognostic marker in pediatric T-ALL. Procedure: Sixty-five diagnostic T-ALL samples from Nordic pediatric patients treated according to the NOPHO-ALL2008 protocol were analyzed by HumMeth450K genome wide DNA methylation arrays. Methylation status was analyzed in relation to clinical data and early T-cell precursor (ETP) phenotype. Results: Two distinct CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) groups were identified. Patients with a CIMP negative profile had an inferior response to treatment compared to CIMP positive patients (3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR3y) rate: 29% vs. 6%, p=0.01). Most importantly, CIMP classification at diagnosis allowed subgrouping of high risk T-ALL patients (MRD â?¥0.1% at day 29) into two groups with significant differences in outcome (CIR3y rates: CIMP negative 50% vs CIMP positive 12%; p=0.02). These groups did not differ regarding ETP-phenotype, but the CIMP negative group was younger (p=0.02) and had higher white blood cell count at diagnosis (p=0.004) compared with the CIMP positive group. Conclusions: CIMP classification at diagnosis in combination with MRD during induction therapy is a strong candidate for further risk classification and could confer important information in treatment decision-making. Bisulphite converted DNA from T-ALL samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Project description:PurposeThe DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (DAC) is approved for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), but resistance to DAC develops during treatment and mechanisms of resistance remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated mechanisms of primary and secondary resistance to DAC in MDS.Patients and methodsWe performed Quantitative Real-Time PCR to examine expression of genes related to DAC metabolism prior to therapy in 32 responders and non-responders with MDS as well as 14 patients who achieved a complete remission and subsequently relapsed while on therapy (secondary resistance). We then performed quantitative methylation analyses by bisulfite pyrosequencing of 10 genes as well as Methylated CpG Island Amplification Microarray (MCAM) analysis of global methylation in secondary resistance.ResultsMost genes showed no differences by response, but the CDA/DCK ratio was 3 fold higher in non-responders than responders (P<.05), suggesting that this could be a mechanism of primary resistance. There were no significant differences at relapse in DAC metabolism genes, and no DCK mutations were detected. Global methylation measured by the LINE1 assay was lower at relapse than at diagnosis (P<.05). On average, the methylation of 10 genes was lower at relapse (16.1%) compared to diagnosis (18.1%) (P<.05). MCAM analysis showed decreased methylation of an average of 4.5% (range 0.6%-9.7%) of the genes at relapse. By contrast, new cytogenetic changes were found in 20% of patients.ConclusionPharmacological mechanisms are involved in primary resistance to DAC, whereas hypomethylation does not prevent a relapse for patients with DAC treatment.

Project description:Genome-wide expression and methylation profiling identifies novel targets with aberrant hypermethylation and reduced expression in low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs). Gene expression profiling signatures may be used to classify the subtypes of Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. However, there are few reports on the global methylation status in MDS. The integration of genome-wide epigenetic regulatory marks with gene expression levels would provide additional information regarding the biological differences between MDS and healthy controls. Gene expression and methylation status were measured using high-density microarrays. A total of 552 differentially methylated CpG loci were identified as being present in low-risk MDS; hypermethylated genes were more frequent than hypomethylated genes. In addition, mRNA expression profiling identified 1005 genes that significantly differed between low-risk MDS and the control group. Integrative analysis of the epigenetic and expression profiles revealed that 66.7% of the hypermethylated genes were underexpressed in low-risk MDS cases. Gene network analysis revealed molecular mechanisms associated with the low-risk MDS group, including altered apoptosis pathways. The two key apoptotic genes BCL2 and ETS1 were identified as silenced genes. In addition, the immune response and micro RNA biogenesis were affected by the hypermethylation and underexpression of IL27RA and DICER1. Our integrative analysis revealed that aberrant epigenetic regulation is a hallmark of low-risk MDS patients and could have a central role in these diseases. Low-risk MDS patients and age-matched controls without haematological malignancies were included in the study. Mononuclear cells were isolated from bone marrow samples of low-risk MDS patients and controls by density gradient (Ficoll). A cohort of 18 patients with low-risk MDS and seven controls were included in a simultaneous integrative study of methylation (using Methylated CpG Island Amplification and Microarrays, MCAM) and expression (using Affymetrix microarrays HG-U133 Plus 2), while the whole series was used as a control group of expression data.

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms contribute to deregulated gene expression of hematopoietic progenitors in Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). Hypomethylating agents are able to improve peripheral cytopenias in MDS patients. To identify critical gene expression changes induced by hypomethylating agents, we analyzed gene expression profiling (GEP) of myelodysplastic and normal CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells treated in vitro with or without decitabine. Four MDS and two untreated early stage Hodgkin’s lymphomas were analyzed for GEP. Mock treated CD34+ stem cells segregate according to diagnosis and karyotype. After decitabine treatment, gene expression changes were more consistent on MDS CD34+ cells with abnormal kayotype. Comparing decitabine-induced genes with those found down-regulated in mock-treated MDS cells, we identified a list of candidate tumor suppressor genes in MDS. By real-time RT-PCR we confirmed expression changes for three selected genes CD9, CXCR4 and GATA2 in 12 MDS patients and 4 controls. CD9 was widely repressed in most MDS CD34+ cell samples, although similar levels of methylation were found in both normal and MDS total bone marrows. CXCR4 promoter methylation was absent in total bone marrows from 36 MDS patients. In conclusion, changes in gene expression changes induced by hypomethylating treatment are more pronounced in CD34+ cells from abnormal karyotype.
