Project description:We generated RRBS data between Rex1-high and Rex1-low cells to identify differentially methylated promoters. We observe bimodal methylation levels in both subpopulations, and that Rex1-low cells accumulate increased levels of methylation, frequently as a function of local CpG density We sorted Rex1 high and low cells using a GFP-knockin reporter cell line (kindly provided by Austin Smith), and performed RRBS on the subpopulations

Project description:The insecticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its persistent metabolite, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), have been associated with increased adiposity and obesity in rodent and human studies. These lipophilic pollutants accumulate in adipose tissue and it is theorized that their exposure leads to decreased decrease energy expenditure through the impairment of thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. We hypothesized that impaired thermogenesis is due to persistent epigenetic modifications of brown adipose tissue. To address this, we exposed C57BL/6J mice to DDT from gestational day 11.5 to postnatal day 5 and isolated brown adipose tissue for RRBS from one offspring per litter when mice reached postnatal day 12 (n=20 DDT litters and 22 vehicle litters). DNA methylation levels in brown adipose tissue of mice perinatally exposed to vehicle or DDT were determined using RRBS. Analyses of differential methylation and KEGG pathway enrichment were performed.

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells were maintained in minimal and chemically-defined culture conditions supporting naive pluripotency. Inhibitors of the Gsk3 (CHIR99021) and Mek/Erk (PD0325901) pathways were withdrawn, cultures maintained for 24 hours, and subsequently sorted by flow cytometry based on fluorescence of a short-half-life Rex1(Zfp42)::GFP reporter into two populations: Rex1-high cells, functionally capable of reversion to naive pluripotency, and Rex1-low cells that have exited the naive state.

Project description:DNA methylation is a mechanism for long-term transcriptional regulation and is required for normal cellular differentiation. Failure to properly establish or maintain DNA methylation patterns leads to cell dysfunction and diseases such as cancer. Identifying DNA methylation signatures in complex tissues can be challenging due to inaccurate cell enrichment methods and low DNA yields. We have developed a technique called Laser Capture Microdissection-Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (LCM-RRBS) for the multiplexed interrogation of the DNA methylation status of CpG Islands and promoters. LCM-RRBS accurately and reproducibly profiles genome-wide methylation of DNA extracted from microdissected fresh frozen or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples. To demonstrate the utility of LCM-RRBS, we characterized changes in DNA methylation associated with gonadectomy-induced adrenocortical neoplasia in the mouse. Compared to adjacent normal tissue, the adrenocortical tumors showed reproducible gains and losses of DNA methylation at genes involved in cell differentiation and organ development. LCM-RRBS is a rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive technique for analyzing DNA methylation in heterogeneous tissues and will facilitate the investigation of DNA methylation in cancer and organ development.

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are locked into self-renewal by shielding from inductive cues. Release from this ground state in minimal conditions offers a system for delineating developmental progression from naive pluripotency. Here we examined the initial transition process. The ES cell population behaves asynchronously. We therefore exploited a short-half-life Rex1::GFP reporter to isolate cells either side of exit from naive status. Differentiation of Rex1-GFPd2 ES cells was initiated by withdrawing 2i (Kalkan et al., 2016). Undifferentiated 2i-cells and post-2i withdrawal differentiating populations (16h, 25h-Rex1-High, 25h-Rex1-Low) were subjected to proteomic analysis by Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Background: Researching the murine epigenome in disease models has been hampered by the lack of an appropriate and cost-effective DNA methylation array. Until recently, investigators have been limited to the relatively expensive and analysis intensive bisulphite sequencing methods. Here, we performed a comprehensive, comparative analysis between the new Mouse Methylation BeadChip (MMB) and reduced representation bisulphite sequencing (RRBS) in two murine models of colorectal carcinogenesis, providing insight into the utility to each platforms in a real world environment. Results: We captured 1.47x106 CpGs by RRBS and 2.64x105 CpGs by MMB, mapping to 13,778 and 13,365 CpG islands, respectively. RRBS captured significantly more CpGs per island (median 41 for RRBS versus 2 for MMB). We found that 64.4% of intra-island CpG methylation variability can be captured by measuring approximately one quarter of CpG island (CGI) CpGs. MMB was more precise in measuring DNA methylation, especially at sites that had low RRBS coverage. This impacted differential methylation analysis, with more statistically significantly differentially methylated CpG sites identified by MMB in all experimental conditions, however the difference was minute when appropriate thresholding for the magnitude of methylation change (0.2 beta value difference) was applied, providing confidence that both techniques can identify similar differential DNA methylation. Gene ontology enrichment analysis of differentially hypermethylated gene promoters identified similar biological processes and pathways by both RRBS and MMB across two murine model systems. Conclusion: MMB is an effective tool for profiling the murine methylome that performs comparably to RRBS, identifying similar differentially methylated pathways. Although MMB captures a similar proportion of CpG islands, it does so with fewer CpGs per island. We show that subsampling informative CpGs from CpG islands is an appropriate strategy to capture whole island variation. Choice of technology is experiment dependent and will be predicated on the underlying biology being probed.

Project description:Background: Epigenetic modification is a hallmark of cancer cells achieved through altered patterns of DNA methylation, histone modifications and nucleosome positions. These events have only been described in detail at gene promoters. Results: Here, we integrate multiple epigenome-wide maps to evaluate the scope of global epigenetic reprogramming in cancer cells at enhancers and insulators. Using high-resolution simultaneous mapping of global DNA methylation and nucleosome positions within individual DNA strands (NOMe-Seq), we observe a reorganization of the DNA methylome coupled with simultaneous modulation of nucleosome depleted regions (NDRs) at distal regulatory elements in cancer cells. We show that while NDRs are preferentially found at enhancers in normal breast and prostate epithelial cells, there are fewer NDRs coupled with increased DNA methylation detected at enhancersin cancer cells. Our data suggests that the acquisition of a nucleosome is key to DNA hypermethylation susceptibility and contributes to epigenetic silencing of enhancers in cancer, which can notably occur without loss of H3K4me1. Further we observe that NDRs are not necessary for peripheral phasing of adjacent nucleosomes, contrary to the common dogma, and show that nucleosomes remain organized and phased, even in the absence of a NDR as an anchor. Finally we observe the potential for transcription factors (TF) to organize NDRs genome-wide; all TF-binding sites are strongly hypomethylated and some show extensive peripheral nucleosome phasing. Conclusion: Together our findings suggest that, in addition to epigenetic alterations to promoter regions in cancer, there is substantial disruption to the distal regulatory architecture that provides an additional layer of epigenetic plasticity in malignancy.
