An endogenous retroviral element co-opts an upstream regulatory sequence to achieve somatic expression and mobility

ABSTRACT: We characterize somatic retrotransposition in the Drosophila intestine using long-read DNA sequencing. We show that retroelement mobility does not change significantly upon aging and is limited to very few active sub-families of retrotransposons. Importantly, we identify a polymorphic donor locus of an endogenous LTR retroviral element rover, active in the intestinal tissue. We reveal that gut activity of the rover donor copy depends on its genomic environment. Without affecting local gene expression, the copy co-opts its upstream enhancer sequence, rich in transcription factor binding sites, for somatic expression. We further show that escargot, a snail-type transcription factor critical for gut progenitor cell function, can drive transcriptional activity of the active rover copy. These data provide new insights into how locus-specific features allow active retrotransposons to produce functional transcripts and mobilize in a somatic lineage.

Retrotransposon-based profiling of mammalian epigenomes: DNA methylation of IAP LTRs in embryonic stem, somatic and cancer cells

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the DNA methylation levels of 4799 IAP LTRs in three murine cell types: AB2.2 ES cells, somatic cells and a neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2A. According to the results, half of the IAP LTR retrotransposons show constant methylation patterns between the three cell types whereas the remaining half display variable levels of methylation. About half of the variably methylated IAP LTRs tend to be hypomethylated in ES cells, and nearly all of this group are hypomethylated in Neuro2A cells. Interestingly, the observed hypomethylation in both cell types occur in a non-uniform, locus-specific manner and to various degrees of severity, with some of them being easily detectible by COBRA. Overall, this study demonstrates the feasibility of HT-TREBS to study alterations in DNA methylation at retrotransposons in a locus-specific manner in multiple cell types and further suggests the potential utility of this technique in developing epigenetic biomarkers for tracking disease progression. HT-TREBS has been used with the Ion Torrent PGM platform to analyze the DNA methylation of 4799 IAP LTRs in a locus-specific manner in 3 cell types: somatic cells (previously submitted under GEO Accession GSE49222), AB2.2 ES cells and Neuro2A cells

Evidence of developmental escape from transcriptional-gene-silencing in MESSI retrotransposons

Project description:The intent of the experiment was to infer, from tissue-specific PCR-free whole DNA sequencing analysis, the putative increase in DNA copy number of active LTR retrotransposons in shoot apical meristems of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). For this, we performed two lanes of Illumina pair-end DNA-seq in meristems and leaves of M82 tomato line.

Expression profiling of MDR1+ and MDR1- human memory T cells from the blood and clinically-inflamed gut tissue

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the transcriptional signature of MDR1+ human memory T cells isolated from clinically inflamed gut tissue, and compare it to local MDR1- memory T cells Human mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of a healthy adult donor (Ficol density centrifugation) or from resected lesioned gut tissue of a patient with active Crohn's disease. For cell isolation from gut tissue, tissue was rinsed with PBS, treated with 0.15% DTT to remove mucous, then with 1 mM EDTA to remove epithelial cells and intra-epithelial lymphocytes. Remaining tissue was digested using Liberase-TL (Roche) plus 10 U/mL DNase I. Mononuclear cells were then filtered through 70 mM nylon filters and isolated via a 30%/ 70% Percol gradient. Mononuclear cells from blood or gut tissue were FACS-sorted into CD3+ CD4+ CD45RO+ MDR1+ or MDR1- memory T cells, using Rhodamine 123 (Rh123) efflux as a surrogate for MDR1 expression/ activity. Sorted cells were harvested directly ex vivo (without further in vitro culture or manipulation) prior to RNA extraction. MDR1- memory CD4+ T cells vs. MDR1+ memory CD4+ T cells from healthy donor peripheral blood or from active Crohn's disease lesioned tissue; MDR1- or MDR1+ memory CD4+ T cells from blood vs. inflamed gut tissue

Genome-Wide Analysis of Somatic Copy Number Alterations (CGH, SNP) and Gene Expression (RNA-seq) in Metastatic Melanoma

Project description:All cancers are diseases of the genome. A combination of somatic point mutations, focal amplifications and deletions, and chromosome level aberrations conspire to disrupt gene expression and the interplay between signaling pathways that control normal growth and tissue homeostasis. Here we investigate somatic copy number abberations in metastatic melanomas. A metastatic melanoma was assayed on Affymetrix SNP arrays to detect copy number abberations. 7 cutaneous melanomas as well as their matched control ( peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) or Epstein-Barr virus transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines ) and 2 control melanocytes were assayed on Illumina SNP arrays. 7 metastatic melanomas were hybridized on Agilent CGH arrays using donor matched control as reference.

L1 chimeric transcripts are expressed in healthy brain and their deregulation in glioma follows that of their host locus.

Project description:Background: Besides the consequences of retrotransposition, long interspersed element 1 (L1) retrotransposons can affect the host genome though their antisense promoter. In addition to the sense promoter, the evolutionarily recent L1 retrotransposons, which are present in several thousand copies, also possess an anti-sense promoter that can produce L1 chimeric transcripts (LCT) composed of the L1 5’ UTR followed by the adjacent genomic sequence. The full extent to which LCT expression occurs in a given tissue and whether disruption of the defense mechanisms that normally control L1 retrotransposons affect their expression and function in cancer cells, remain to be established. Results: By using CLIFinder, a dedicated bioinformatics tool, we found that LCT expression was widespread in normal brain and aggressive glioma samples, and that approximately 17% of recent L1 retrotransposons, from the L1PA1 to L1PA7 subfamilies, were involved in their production. Importantly, the transcriptional activities of the L1 antisense promoters and of their host loci were coupled. Accordingly, we detected LCT-producing L1 retrotransposons mainly in transcriptionally active genes and genomic loci. Moreover, changes in the host genomic locus expression level in glioma was associated with a similar change in LCT expression level, regardless of the L1 promoter methylation status. Conclusions: Our findings support a model in which the host genomic locus transcriptional activity is the main driving force of LCT expression. We hypothesize that this model is more applicable when host gene and LCT are transcribed from the same strand.

Variation in DNA methylation patterns more common among maize inbreds than among tissues

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) have the potential to act as controlling elements to influence the expression of genes and are often subject to heterochromatic silencing. The current paradigm suggests that heterochromatic silencing can spread beyond the borders of TEs and influence the chromatin state of neighboring low-copy sequences. This would allow TEs to condition obligatory or facilitated epialleles and act as controlling elements. The maize genome contains numerous families of class I TEs (retrotransposons) that are present in moderate to high copy numbers, and many are found in regions near genes, which provides an opportunity to test whether the spreading of heterochromatin from retrotransposons is prevalent. We have investigated the extent of heterochromatin spreading into DNA flanking each family of retrotransposons by profiling DNA methylation and di-methylation of lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9me2) in low-copy regions of the maize genome. RNA–seq was performed on three biological replicates of four tissues: 3rd leaf, immature ear (SRP013432), embryo and endosperm(SRP009313) for both B73 and Mo17.

Rbf1 induced gene expression in Ustilago maydis

Project description:In the phytopathogenic Basidiomcete Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are tightly connected and controlled via the b-mating type locus. The b-mating type locus encodes two homeodomain transcription factors, bE and bW, which form an active heterodimeric complex when they are derived from different b-alleles. Rbf1 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that is expressed upon formation of an active bE/bW heterodimer. To identify gene regulated by rbf1 independently from b, the b mating type locus was replaced by a copy of rbf1 under control of the arabinose-inducible crg1 promoter (strain CP27). Samples were taken 5h after induction of rbf1 gene expression. Strain JB2, carrying a deletion of the b-locus, was used as control.
