Array-based DNA-methylation analysis in individuals with developmental delay/intellectual disability and normal molecular karyotype

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the DNA methylation of peripheral blood samples from 81 individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and compared this methylation pattern to 19 normal controls using the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip and bisulfite pyrosequencing for validiation. We could not show a global methylation pattern that separates the patients from the normal controls. But we detected in an individual approach DNA methylation changes in the genes COLEC11, SHANK2, GLI2 and KCNQ2, known to be associated with ID, in at least one patient. DNA methylation analysis of imprinted genes revealed patients with aberrant methylation pattern at the imprinted genes PPIEL, IGF2R, MEG3 and MCTS2/HM13. Our results suggest that imprinting disorders are under-diagnosed in ID patients moreover point to DNA methylation changes as potential alternative means to deregulated genes involved in the pathogenesis of ID.

Airn transcriptional overlap but not its lncRNA products induce imprinted Igf2r silencing.

Project description:To test if the imprinted long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Airn transcription or its product silences the protein-coding Igf2r gene, we shortened the endogenous lncRNA to four different lengths by inserting polyadenylation (polyA) cassettes on the paternal chromosome via homologous recombination in ES cells. ES cell differentiation was used to recapitulate the developmental onset of Airn and Igf2r imprinted expression and polyA cassettes inserted before (T3, T16, T27) or after (T31, T51) the Igf2r promoter successfully truncated Airn, with the exception of T27. RNA hybridization to a tiling array (MIRTA) demonstrated loss of Airn upstream of the Igf2r promoter (except T27) and absence of novel spliced variants in all truncation alleles. To further test the transcriptional overlap model we moved the Airn promoter ~700bp before the Igf2r TSS in ES cells that lack an endogenous paternal Airn promoter and called this cell line FAP (Forward-Airn-Promoter). RNA hybridization to a tiling array (MIRTA) demonstrated that the moved Airn promoter expresses Airn in wildtype orientation and terminates at the wildtype 3' end. ES cell lines expressing different Airn variants were differentiated on gelatinized dishes after feeder cell depletion and LIF withdrawal by 0.27M-BM-5M retinoic acid for 5 days and Airn length was assayed.

Transcriptome analysis of Shank2 mutant mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental disorders that cause variable and heterogeneous phenotypes across three behavioral domains such as atypical social behavior, disrupted communications, and highly restricted and repetitive behaviors. In addition to these core symptoms, other neurological abnormalities are associated with ASD, including intellectual disability (ID). However, the molecular etiology underlying these behavioral heterogeneities in ASD is unclear. Mutations in SHANK2 genes are associated with ASD and ID. Interestingly, two lines of Shank2 knockout mice (e6-7 KO and e7 KO) showed shared and distinct phenotypes. Here, we found that the expression levels of Gabra2, as well as of GABA receptor-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission, are reduced in Shank2 e6-7, but not in e7 KO mice compared with their own wild type littermates. Furthermore, treatment of Shank2 e6-7 KO mice with an allosteric modulator for the GABAA receptor reverses spatial memory deficits, indicating that reduced inhibitory neurotransmission may cause memory deficits in Shank2 e6-7 KO mice. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled 'Ionotropic glutamate receptors'.

Metabolic control of DNA methylation and imprinted gene expression in naive pluripotent cells

Project description:Naive pluripotent epiblast cells of the preimplantation murine embryo and their in vitro counterpart, embryonic stem (ES) cells, have the capacity to give rise to all cells of the adult. Such developmental plasticity is associated with global genome hypomethylation. It is unclear whether genome methylation is dynamically regulated only via differential expression of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and Ten-eleven Translocation (TET) enzymes, which oxidase methylated DNA. Here we show that LIF/Stat3 signalling induces genomic hypomethylation via metabolic reconfiguration. In Stat3-/- ES cells we observed decreased alpha-ketoglutarate (ɑKG) production from reductive Glutamine metabolism, leading to decreased TET activity, increased Dnmt3a/b expression and to a global increase in DNA methylation. Notably, genome methylation is dynamically controlled by simply modulating αKG availability, mitochondrial activity or Stat3 activation in mitochondria, indicating effective crosstalk between metabolism and the epigenome. Stat3-/- ES cells also show increased methylation at Imprinting Control Regions accompanied with differential expression of >50% of imprinted genes. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of Stat3-/- embryos confirmed dysregulated expression of Dnmt3a/b, Tet2, and imprinted genes in vivo. Our results reveal that the LIF/Stat3 signal bridges the metabolic and epigenetic profiles of naive pluripotent cells, ultimately controlling genome methylation and imprinted gene expression. Several imprinted genes regulate cell proliferation and are often misregulated in tumors. Moreover, a wide range of cancers display Stat3-overactivation, raising the possibility that the molecular module we described here is exploited under pathological conditions.

DNA methylation analysis in multi-locus imprinting disturbances

Project description:The aim of our study was to characterize the genotypic and phenotypic extent of multi-locus imprinting disturbances. Therefore, we analyzed the DNA methylation pattern of 37 individuals with different DNA methylation disturbances. Of these 37 individuals 17 were previously diagnosed with a multi-locus methylation disturbance (MLID) and the remaing 20 were diagnosed with a typical single locus imprinting disorder (SLID). We compared the DNA methylation of these 37 individuals to the DNA methylation of 38 evaluable individuals born small for gestational age. Our analysis revealed 21/37 individuals with a multi-locus methylation disturbances, characterzied by an aberrant DNA methylation in more than one imprintend gene region. Validation analyses were performed by bisulfite-pyrosequencing in the two imprinted gene regions ZDBF2 and FAM50B. Our analyses revealed each one patient previously diagnosed with Temple- and Angelman syndrome to have MLID. Furthermore, we showed that many of the aberrantly methylated imprinted gene regions in patients with MLID are not associated with the so far known typical imprinting disorders.

Allele-specific aberration of imprinted domain chromosome architecture associates with large offspring syndrome [WGBS]

Project description:Large offspring syndrome (LOS) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome are a similar epigenetic congenital overgrowth conditions in ruminants and humans, respectively. We have reported global loss-of-imprinting, methylome epimutations, and global misregulation of genes in LOS. However, less than 4% of gene misregulation can be explained with short range (<20Kb) alterations in DNA methylation. Therefore, we hypothesized that methylome epimutations in LOS affect chromosome architecture which results in misregulation of genes located at distances >20Kb in cis and also in trans (other chromosomes). Our analyses focused on two imprinted domains that frequently show misregulation in these syndromes, namely KvDMR1 and IGF2R. Using bovine fetal fibroblasts, we identified CTCF binding at IGF2R but not KvDMR1, and allele-specific chromosome architecture of these domains in controls. In LOS, analyses identified erroneous long-range contacts and clustering tendency in the direction of expression of misregulated genes. In conclusion, altered chromosome architecture is involved in the etiology of LOS.

Global misregulation of genes largely uncoupled to DNA methylome epimutations characterizes a congenital overgrowth syndrome

Project description:Assisted reproductive therapies (ART) have become increasingly common worldwide and up to ~6% of children currently born in developed countries were conceived employing these technologies. Numerous retrospective studies have suggested that ART-conceived children are more likely to develop the overgrowth syndrome Beckwith-Wiedemann (BWS). In bovine, the use of ART can induce a similar overgrown condition, which is referred to as large offspring syndrome (LOS). Both BWS and LOS involve dysregulation of imprinted genes. However, it remains largely unknown whether aberrant gene expression and DNA methylation occur at non-imprinted loci and to what extent these molecular alterations can contribute to these syndromes. Here we examined the transcriptome of skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, and brain of control and LOS bovine fetuses and found that different LOS fetuses exhibit different severity of the transcriptome alterations and different tissues have distinct gene pathways disturbed in LOS fetuses. Particularly for skeletal muscle, multiple pathways involved in myoblast proliferation and fusion into myotubes are misregulated in LOS fetuses. Further, characterization of the methylome of skeletal muscle demonstrates numerous local methylation differences; however, global DNA methylation is comparable between all individuals regardless of bodyweight. Importantly, only a small percent of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including the imprinted gene IGF2R can be linked to the neighboring differentially methylated regions (DMRs). In summary, we not only show that misregulation of non-imprinted genes in addition to loss-of-imprinting contributes to the ART-induced overgrowth syndrome but also demonstrate that most of the aberrant gene expression is not associated with DNA methylome epimutations.
