Integrating 5 Hydroxymethylcytosine into the Epigenetic Landscape of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Covalent modification of DNA distinguishes cellular identities and is crucial for regulating the pluripotency and differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells. The recent demonstration that 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) may be further modified to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) in ES cells has revealed a novel regulatory paradigm to modulate the epigenetic landscape of pluripotency. To understand the role of 5-hmC in the epigenomic landscape of pluripotent cells, here we profile the genome-wide 5-hmC distribution and correlate it with the genomic profiles of 11 diverse histone modifications and six transcription factors in human ES cells. By integrating genomic 5-hmC signals with maps of histone enrichment, we link particular pluripotency-associated chromatin contexts with 5-hmC. Intriguingly, through additional correlations with defined chromatin signatures at promoter and enhancer subtypes, we show distinct enrichment of 5-hmC at enhancers marked with H3K4me1 and H3K27ac. These results suggest potential role(s) for 5-hmC in the regulation of specific promoters and enhancers. In addition, our results provide a detailed epigenomic map of 5-hmC from which to pursue future functional studies on the diverse regulatory roles associated with 5-hmC.

Active DNA demethylation during the vertebrate phylotypic period

Project description:The vertebrate body plan and organs are shaped during a highly conserved embryonic phase called the phylotypic stage, however the mechanisms that guide the epigenome through this transition and their evolutionary conservation remain elusive. Here we report widespread DNA demethylation of thousands of enhancers during the phylotypic period in zebrafish, Xenopus and mouse. These dynamic enhancers are linked to essential developmental genes that display coordinated transcriptional and epigenomic changes in the diverse vertebrates during embryogenesis. Phylotypic stage-specific binding of Tet proteins to (hydroxy)methylated DNA, and enrichment of hydroxymethylcytosine on these enhancers, implicated active DNA demethylation in this process. Furthermore, loss of function of Tet1/2/3 in zebrafish caused reduced chromatin accessibility and increased methylation levels specifically on these enhancers, indicative of DNA methylation being an upstream regulator of phylotypic enhancer function. Overall, our study reveals a novel regulatory module associated with the most conserved phase of vertebrate embryogenesis and uncovers an ancient developmental role for the Tet dioxygenases.

Whole-genome analysis of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and 5-methylcytosine at base resolution in the human brain

Project description:5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) is particularly abundant in mammalian brains with yetto be revealed functions. Here, we present genome-wide and single-base-resolutionmaps of hmC and mC in the human brain. We demonstrated that hmCs increasemarkedly from the fetal to the adult stage, and in the adult brain, 13.4% of all CpGs arehighly hydroxymethylated with strong enrichment at genic regions and distal regulatoryelements. Notably, hmC peaks were identified at the 5' splicing sites at the exon-intronboundary, suggesting a mechanistic link between hmC and splicing. We also report asurprising transcription-correlated hmC bias toward the sense strand and an mC biastoward the antisense strand of gene bodies. Furthermore, hmC is negatively correlatedwith H3K27me3-marked repressive genomic regions, and is more enriched in poisedenhancers than active enhancers. Our results provide insights into understanding themultiple potential functions of hmC in the human brain.

Altered patterns of hydroxymethylation regulate oncogenic pathways in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Transcriptional deregulation of oncogenic pathways is a hallmark of cancer, and can be due to epigenetic alterations. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is a recently discovered epigenetic modification that has not been studied in pancreatic cancer. Genome-wide analysis of 5-hmC enriched loci was conducted in low-passage pancreatic cancer cell lines and primary patient-derived xenografts and revealed strikingly altered patterns in neoplastic tissues. Differentially hydroxymethylated regions preferentially affected regulatory regions of the genome, specifically overlapping with H3K4me1 enhancers. Gain of 5-hmC was correlated with upregulation of the cognate transcripts, including many oncogenic pathways implicated in pancreatic neoplasia. Specifically, BRD4 was overexpressed and acquired 5hmC at enhancer regions in majority of neoplastic samples. Functionally, acquisition of 5hmC at BRD4 promoter regulated increase in transcript expression. Furthermore, blockade of BRD4 inhibited pancreatic cancer growth in vivo. In summary, redistribution of 5-hmC and preferential enrichment at oncogenic enhancers is a novel regulatory mechanism in human cancer. Genome-wide analysis of 5-hmC enriched loci was conducted in low-passage pancreatic cancer cell lines and primary patient-derived xenografts

Defining super-enhancer landscape in triple-negative breast cancer by multiomic profiling

Project description:Here we apply integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling to uncover super-enhancer heterogeneity between breast cancer subtypes, and provide clinically relevant biological insights towards TNBC. Using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, we identify genes that are specifically regulated by TNBC-specific super-enhancers, including FOXC1 and MET, thereby unveiling a mechanism for specific overexpression of the key oncogenes in TNBC. We also identify ANLN as a novel TNBC-specific gene regulated by super-enhancer. Our studies reveal a TNBC-specific epigenomic landscape, contributing to the dysregulated oncogene expression in breast tumorigenesis.

Global hyperactivation of enhancers stabilizes human and mouse naïve pluripotency

Project description:The transition of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) from primed to naïve states constitutes a prototypical example of cellular plasticity. The naïve state can be stabilized by defined chemical cocktails that block extracellular signals, notably including the MEK pathway. However, little is known regarding the underlying transcriptional mechanisms. Here, we report that the transcriptional landscape of the naïve state can be mimicked in mouse and human PSCs by stimulating transcriptional enhancers. This is attained by inhibiting the CDK8 and CDK19 kinases, which are negative regulators of Mediator, a critical component of enhancer function. Mechanistically, CDK8/19i triggers a global increase in the recruitment of RNA Pol II at promoters and enhancers, hyperactivating enhancers and their target genes. Lastly, the emergence of naïve pluripotency in the pre-implantation epiblast coincides with a marked reduction in CDK8/19 activity, and CDK8/19i blocks its subsequent developmental progression. These findings suggest that naïve pluripotency during development includes hyperactivation of enhancers and can be captured in vitro, either by blunting extracellular signaling, or by stimulating enhancer-driven transcription. These principles may apply to other cellular transitions.

Epigenomic comparison of distinct pluripotent stem cell states reveals a new class of enhancers with roles throughout mammalian development (DNase-seq)

Project description:NaM-CM-/ve mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and primed epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs) represent successive snapshots of pluripotency during embryogenesis. Using transcriptomic and epigenomic mapping, we show that a small fraction of transcripts are differentially expressed between mESCs and mEpiSCs and these genes show expected changes in chromatin at their promoters and enhancers. Unexpectedly, the cis-regulatory circuitry of genes that are expressed at identical levels between these cell states also differs dramatically. In mESCs, these genes are associated with dominant proximal enhancers and dormant distal enhancers, which we term seed enhancers. In mEpiSCs, the naM-CM-/ve-dominant enhancers are lost, and the seed enhancers take up primary transcriptional control. Seed enhancers have increased sequence conservation and show preferential usage in downstream somatic tissues, often expanding into super enhancers. We propose that seed enhancers ensure proper enhancer utilization and transcriptional fidelity as mammalian cells transition from naM-CM-/ve pluripotency to a somatic regulatory program.
