Allele-specific Methylation of Human Placental Tissue

ABSTRACT: In this study, we screened human placental samples for allele-specific methylation and subsequently novel imprinted genes associated with these regions. We used reduced representation bisulfite sequencing to identify partially methylated CpG islands (CGIs) in the human placental genome. We were able to delineate potential candidates for allele-specific methylation based on the calculation of a concordance statistic. Amongst the 28 regions chosen for validation based on high levels of expression, two regions were shown to exhibit allele-specific expression.

The Human Placental Methylome across gestational ages for chromosome 21

Project description:Tissue specific DNA methylation is present across many genomic elements, including large genomic regions. Most human tissues posses highly methylated genomes (>70%), but recent data has suggested the presence of partially methylated domains (PMDs) in some cell-lines. Placenta is a unique human tissue which has very different molecular properties than most tissues. It is the aim of this study to identify the presence/absence of PMDs in placental tissue and further define the DNA methylation landscape of the placenta. In particular this experiment is designed to look at the placental methylome across gestational ages in chromosome 21 to detect methylomic differences throughout development.

Cell-specific Characterization of the Placental Methylome

Project description:Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) profiling has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing the placental methylome. However, previous studies have focused primarily on whole placental tissue, which is a mixture of epigenetically distinct cell populations. Here, we present the first methylome-wide analysis of first trimester (n=9) and term (n=19) human placental samples of four cell populations: trophoblasts, Hofbauer cells, endothelial cells, and stromal cells, using the Illumina EPIC methylation array, which quantifies DNAm at >850,000 CpGs. Results: The most distinct DNAm profiles were those of placental trophoblasts, which are central to many pregnancy-essential functions, and Hofbauer cells, which are a rare fetal-derived macrophage population. Cell-specific DNAm occurs at functionally-relevant genes, including genes associated with placental development and preeclampsia. Known placental-specific methylation marks, such as those associated with genomic imprinting, repetitive element hypomethylation, and placental partially methylated domains, were found to be more pronounced in trophoblasts and often absent in Hofbauer cells. Lastly, we characterize the cell composition and cell-specific DNAm dynamics across gestation. Conclusions: Our results provide a comprehensive analysis of DNAm in human placental cell types from first trimester and term pregnancies. This data will serve as a useful DNAm reference for future placental studies, and we provide access to this data via download from dbGAP (phs002013.v1.p1), through interactive exploration from the web browser (https://robinsonlab.shinyapps.io/Placental_Methylome_Browser/), and through the R package planet, which allows estimation of cell composition directly from placental DNAm data.

Sequence and parent-of-origin dependent m6A contribute to allele-specific gene expression [GLORI]

Project description:Multiple regulatory layers influence allele-specific expression (ASE), particularly through sequence-dependent and parent-of-origin-dependent mechanisms at the transcriptional level. However, little is known about allele-specific gene regulation at the post-transcriptional level. Here, we conduct transcriptome-wide analysis of allele-specific m6A in mice. Using early postnatal cerebellum and cerebrum samples from reciprocal crosses of two divergent mouse strains, we employed quantitative m6A assays to measure allelic differences in m6A at single-base resolution. Our study reveals widespread sequence-dependent allelic imbalance in m6A methylation, identifying thousands of allele-specific m6A (ASm6A) sites with statistically significant and reproducible allelic methylation differences across diverse samples. We find evidence of potential cis-regulatory variants within 50-nt flanking regions of these ASm6A sites, with the highest enrichment at the motif positions. Intriguingly, we detect parental effects on allelic methylation across m6A sites exhibiting parent-of-origin-dependent ASE. For both sequence- and parent-of-origin-dependent allelic m6A methylation, we observe opposing allelic preferences between methylation and expression, suggesting a potential role of ASm6A in regulating ASE through negative effects on gene expression. Overall, our findings reveal that both cis-acting and parent-of-origin effects influence ASm6A, offering new insights into post-transcriptional mechanisms of ASE regulation.

Placental DNA methylation difference in spontaneous preterm delivery

Project description:Genome wide placental DNA methylation profiling of full term and preterm deliveries sampled from 5 full term deliveries and 4 preterm deliveries. The Illumina HumanMethylation450 Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 485,577 CpGs in formalin fixed samples. Samples included 4 placental tissues from 4 women with preterm delivery and 5 placental tissues from 5 women with full term delivery. 9 women's placental DNA (4 women had perterm deliveries and 5 women had full term deliveries) were hybridised to the Illumina HumanMethylation450 Beadchip
