Differentiation of human parthenogenetic pluripotent stem cells reveals multiple tissue and isoform specific imprinted transcripts

ABSTRACT: Parental imprinting results in a monoallelic parent-of-origin dependent gene expression. However, many imprinted genes identified by differential methylation do not exhibit complete monoallelic expression. Previous studies demonstrated a complex tissue-dependent expression patterns for some imprinted genes. Still, the complete magnitude of this phenomenon remains largely unknown. Differentiating human parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cells into different cell types and combining DNA methylation with novel 5' RNA sequencing methodology, enabled us to identify tissue- and isoform-dependent imprinted genes in a genome wide manner. We show that nearly half of all imprinted genes expresses both biallelic and monoallelic isoforms, that are controlled by tissue specific alternative promoters. This study provides the first global analysis of tissue-specific imprinting in humans, and implies that alternative promoters are central in the regulation of imprinted genes.

Gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 6 human cell lines, including 4 iPSCs differentiated to neural progenitors and sorted using NCAM1 (2 control and 2 Parthenogenetic), and 2 iPSCs differentiated to endodermal progenitors (1 Control and 1 Parthenogenetic)

Distinct imprinting signatures and biased differentiation of human androgenetic and parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells [microarray]

Project description:Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism that results in parent-of-origin monoallelic expression of specific genes, which precludes uniparental development and underlies various diseases. Here we explored molecular and developmental aspects of imprinting in humans by generating exclusively-paternal human androgenetic embryonic stem cells (aESCs) and comparing them with exclusively-maternal parthenogenetic ESCs (pESCs) and bi-parental ESCs, establishing a pluripotent-cell system of distinct parental backgrounds. Analyzing the transcriptomes and methylomes of human aESCs, pESCs and bi-parental ESCs enabled the characterization of regulatory relations at known imprinted regions and uncovered new imprinted gene candidates within and outside known imprinted regions. Investigating the consequences of uniparental differentiation, we showed the known paternal-genome preference for placental contribution, revealed a novel bias towards liver differentiation, and implicated the involvement of the imprinted gene IGF2 in this process. Our results demonstrate the utility of parent-specific human ESCs for dissecting the role of imprinting in human development and disease.

Identification of novel imprinted differentially methylated regions by global analysis of human parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Parental imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon by which genes are expressed in a monoallelic fashion, according to their parent-of-origin. DNA methylation is considered the hallmark mechanism regulating parental imprinting. To identify imprinted differentially methylated regions (DMRs), we compared the DNA methylation status between multiple normal and parthenogenetic human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) by performing reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. Our analysis identified over twenty previously unknown imprinted DMRs in addition to the known DMRs. These include DMRs in loci associated with human disorders, and a class of intergenic DMRs that do not seem to be related to gene expression. Furthermore, the study showed some DMRs to be unstable, liable to differentiation or reprogramming. A comprehensive comparison between mouse and human DMRs identified almost half of the imprinted DMRs to be species-specific. Taken together our data map novel DMRs in the human genome, their evolutionary conservation, and relation to gene expression. RRBS profiles were generated from 6 parthenogenetic iPSC lines (hiPS A11, hiPS A20, hIPS A26, hiPS B34, hiPS B36, hiPS B41) and fibroblasts from the 2 parents whose ovarian teratomas were used to derive the iPSC lines, for a total of 8 samples.

Global assessment of imprinted gene expression in the bovine conceptus by next generation sequencing

Project description:Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism that leads to parental-allele-specific gene expression. Approximately 150 imprinted genes have been identified in humans and mice but less than 30 genes have been described as imprinted in cattle. For the purpose of de novo identification of imprinted genes in bovine, we determined global monoallelic gene expression in brain, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney and placenta of day ~105 Bos taurus indicus X Bos taurus taurus F1 conceptuses using RNA sequencing. For this, we developed a bioinformatics pipeline to identify parental-specific SNPs after filtering A-to-I RNA editing sites. We identified 53 genes subject to monoallelic expression. A total of 23 are genes known to be imprinted in the cow and 7 are previously-characterized imprinted genes in human and/or mouse that have not be reported to be imprinted in cattle. Of the remaining 23 genes, we found that 10 are uncharacterized or unannotated transcripts located in known imprinting clusters, whereas the other 13 genes are distributed across the bovine genome and not close to any known imprinting clusters. To exclude potential cis-eQTL effects on allelic expression, we corroborated the parental specificity of monoallelic expression in day 86 Bos taurus taurus X Bos taurus taurus F1s and identified eight novel imprinted genes in bovine. Further, we identified 671 candidate A-to-I RNA editing sites and describe imprinted X inactivation in the bovine trophectoderm-derived CT1 cell line. Our results expand the imprinted gene list in bovine and demonstrate that monoallelic gene expression can be the result of cis-eQTL effect.

BALANCED GENE DOSAGE CONTROL RATHER THAN PARENTAL ORIGIN UNDERPINS GENOMIC IMPRINTING

Project description:Mammalian parental imprinting represents an exquisite form of epigenetic control regulating the parent-specific monoallelic expression of genes in clusters. While imprinting perturbations are widely associated with developmental abnormalities, the intricate regional interplay between imprinted genes makes interpreting the contribution of gene dosage effects to phenotypes a challenging task. Using mouse models with distinct deletions in an intergenic region controlling imprinting across the Dlk1-Dio3 domain, we link changes in genetic and epigenetic states to allelic-expression and phenotypic outcome in vivo. This determined how hierarchical interactions between regulatory elements orchestrate robust parent-specific expression, with implications for non-imprinted gene regulation. Strikingly, flipping imprinting on the parental chromosomes by crossing genotypes of complete and partial intergenic element deletions, rescues the lethality of each deletion on its own. Our work indicates that parental origin of an epigenetic state is irrelevant as long as appropriate balanced gene expression is established and maintained at imprinted loci.

Using RNA sequencing for identifying gene imprinting and random monoallelic expression in human placenta (RNA-seq)

Project description:Given the possible critical importance of placental gene imprinting and random monoallelic expression on fetal and infant health, most of those genes must be identified, in order to understand the risks that the baby might meet during pregnancy and after birth. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to introduce a workflow and tools for analyzing imprinted and random monoallelic gene expression in human placenta, by applying whole-transcriptome (WT) RNA sequencing of placental tissue and genotyping of coding DNA variants in family trios. Ten family trios, each with a healthy spontaneous single-term pregnancy, were recruited. Total RNA was extracted for WT analysis, providing the full sequence information for the placental transcriptome. Parental and child blood DNA genotypes were analyzed by exome SNP genotyping microarrays, mapping the inheritance and estimating the abundance of parental expressed alleles. Imprinted genes showed consistent expression from either parental allele, as demonstrated by the SNP content of sequenced transcripts, while monoallelically expressed genes had random activity of parental alleles. We revealed 4 novel possible imprinted genes (LGALS8, LGALS14, PAPPA2 and SPTLC3) and confirmed the imprinting of 4 genes (AIM1, PEG10, RHOBTB3 and ZFAT-AS1) in human placenta. The major finding was the identification of 4 genes (ABP1, BCLAF1, IFI30 and ZFAT) with random allelic bias, expressing one of the parental alleles preferentially. The main functions of the imprinted and monoallelically expressed genes included: i) mediating cellular apoptosis and tissue development; ii) regulating inflammation and immune system; iii) facilitating metabolic processes; and iv) regulating cell cycle. Placentas from ten family trios were analysed using RNA-Seq.
