High throughput bisulfite sequencing of the MLH1 promoter in human hematiopoietic progenitor cell clones

ABSTRACT: Using single molecule ultra-deep bisulfite sequencing we characterized the CpG methylation landscape from –938 to –337 bp upstream of the MLH1 transcriptional start site position 0, from 30 hematopoietic colony forming cell clones (CFC) either expressing or not expressing MLH1. We identify a correlation between MLH1 promoter methylation and loss of MLH1 expression. Additionally, using the CpG site methylation frequencies obtained in this study we are able to generate a classification algorithm capable of sorting the expressing and non-expressing CFC. Thus, as previously described for many tumor cell types, MLH1 promoter methylation in hematopoietic stem cell clones correlates with the loss of MLH1 expression, a critically important gene in the mismatch repair pathway.

Primary constitutional MLH1 epimutations: a focal epigenetic event [FFPE data sets]

Project description:Background: Constitutional MLH1 epimutations are characterized by monoallelic methylation of the MLH1 promoter throughout normal tissues, accompanied by allele-specific silencing. The mechanism underlying primary MLH1 epimutations is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to perform an in-depth characterization of constitutional MLH1 epimutations targeting the aberrantly methylated region around MLH1 and other genomic loci. Methods: Twelve MLH1 epimutation carriers, 61 Lynch syndrome patients and 41 healthy controls, were analyzed by Infinium Human Methylation 450K beadchip, and targeted molecular techniques were used to characterize the MLH1 epimutation in carriers and their inheritance pattern. Results: No nucleotide or structural variants were identified in-cis on the epimutated allele in ten carriers, in which intergenerational methylation erasure was demonstrated in two, suggesting primary type of epimutation. CNVs outside the MLH1 locus were found in two cases. EPM2AIP1-MLH1 CpG island was identified as the sole differentially methylated region in MLH1 epimutation carriers compared to controls. Conclusion: Primary constitutional MLH1 epimutations arise as a focal epigenetic event at the EPM2AIP1-MLH1 CpG island in the absence of cis-acting genetic variants. Further molecular characterization is needed to elucidate the mechanistic basis of MLH1 epimutations and their heritability/reversibility.

Dominant MLH1 epimutation linked to 5'UTR variant c.-27C>A

Project description:Constitutional epimutations of tumor suppressor genes manifest as promoter methylation and transcriptional silencing of a single allele in normal somatic tissues, thereby predisposing to cancer. Constitutional MLH1 epimutations occur in individuals with young-onset cancer and demonstrate non-Mendelian inheritance through their reversal in the germline. We report a cancer-affected family showing dominant transmission of soma-wide highly mosaic MLH1 methylation and transcriptional repression linked to a particular genetic haplotype. The epimutation was erased in spermatozoa but reinstated in the somatic cells of the next generation. The affected haplotype harbored two single nucleotide substitutions in tandem: c.-27C>A located near the transcription initiation site and c.85G>T. The c.-27C>A variant significantly reduced transcriptional activity in reporter assays and is the probable cause of this epimutation. Five members of a three-generation Caucasian Lynch syndrome family with an autosomal dominant MLH1 epimutation linked to a single nucleotide variant (c.-27C>A) within the MLH1 5'UTR were examined for copy number variations and retention of heterozygosity on chromosome 3. These five carriers of constitutional MLH1 methylation and the c.-27C>A variant were compared with 300 healthy Caucasian controls from the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium using three algorithms (QuantiSNP, PennCNV, COKGEN) to detect any copy number variants. The five family members studied were female (the proband II5, her affected mother I1, and three asymptomatic relatives II2, II4 and III2) are labeled according to the pedigree in Figure 3 of the associated publication (Hitchins et al., Cancer Cell, 2011). The supplementary file 'GSE30348_gw6.lrr_baf.txt' contains log R ratio and B-allele frequency values in a tab-delimited format with one marker per row.

Highly sensitive MLH1 methylation analysis in blood allows the identification of low-level epigenetic mosaicism

Project description:Constitutional MLH1 epimutations are a rare cause of Lynch syndrome. Low methylation levels (≤10%) have been occasionally described. The aim of this study was the identification of patients with low levels of epigenetic mosaicism in MLH1 gene. Eighteen patients with MLH1 hypermethylated tumors and undetectable methylation in blood as assessed by Methylation-Specific Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification were included (MS-MLPA). Highly sensitive MS-Melting Curve Analysis (MS-MCA) at MLH1 promoter was used to screen for epigenetic mosaicism. Constitutional methylation was confirmed by other methods. Mutational analysis of hereditary cancer genes including MLH1 was performed. MS-MCA analysis identified one case (5.6%) with low levels of methylation (1-2%) in blood DNA. The patient had developed 3 gastrointestinal tumors at ages 22, 24 and 25, sharing MLH1 promoter hypermethylation and loss of heterozygosity associated with c.655A allele. The presence of low MLH1 methylation levels was confirmed by clonal bisulfite sequencing, evidencing the association with c.-93G allele (in phase with c.655G). The extension of the hypermethylated region overlaps with the reported in constitutional MLH1 epimutation carriers. No rare germline variants were identified. The use of highly sensitive techniques such as MS-MCA has demonstrated to be useful for the detection of low MLH1 methylation levels in blood.

The MLH1 c.-27C>A and c.85G>T variants are borne on a European ancestral haplotype which underlies an autosomal dominant form of MLH1 epimutation.

Project description:Lynch syndrome, caused by germline heterozygous mutations of the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, or deletions affecting the EPCAM gene upstream of MSH2, is characterized by a predisposition to early-onset colorectal and additional extracolonic cancers. An alternative but rare cause of Lynch syndrome is a constitutional epimutation of MLH1, which is characterized by promoter methylation and transcriptional silencing of a single allele in normal tissues. Worldwide, five families with autosomal dominant transmission of a constitutional MLH1 epimutation linked to an MLH1 haplotype with two single nucleotide variants (c.-27C>A and c.85G>T) have been identified. Array-based genotyping using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 data in four of these families revealed a shared haplotype extending across a ≤2.6 Mb region of chromosome 3p22 encompassing MLH1 and additional flanking genes, indicating common ancestry. Genomic DNA from 5 carriers of the c.-27C>A and c.85G>T variants was hybridized on Affymetrix SNP6.0 array according to manufacturer's procedures

Differentiation of human cardiomyocyte and thymic epithelial cells from H1 control hESCs and H1 hESCs uniquely modified to be DNA methylated at the promoter CpG island of MLH1.

Project description:Engineering Pluripotent DNA Methylation by CpG Island Methylation Response (CIMR) to Synthetic CpG-free ssDNA Insertion Cellular differentiation requires global changes to DNA methylation (DNAme), where it functions to regulate transcription factor and chromatin remodeling activity, and genome interpretation. Here, we describe a simple DNAme engineering approach in pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), extending across large stretches of CpG dense “islands (CGIs).” Integration of synthetic CpG free single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) induces a target CpG Island Methylation Response (CIMR) in multiple PSC lines, Nt2d1 embryonal carcinoma cells, and mouse PSCs, but not in highly methylated CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) positive cancer lines. CIMR DNAme at MLH1 spans the CGI, is robustly maintained throughout cellular differentiation, suppresses target gene activity, and sensitizes derived cardiomyocytes and thymic epithelial cells to the chemotherapy cisplatin. Additional CIMR DNAme is reported on at TP53 and ONECUT1 CGIs. Collectively, this new resource enables total CpG Island DNAme engineering in pluripotency and the genesis of novel epigenetic models of development and disease
