A comparative analysis of 5-azacytidine and zebularine induced DNA demethylation using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing

ABSTRACT: The non-methylable cytosine analogs, 5-azacytidine and zebularine, are widely used to disrupt DNA methyltransferase activity and reduce genomic DNA methylation. In this study, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing is used to construct maps of DNA methylation with single base pair resolution in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings treated with each demethylating agent. We find that 5-azacytidine and zebularine-treated seedlings have nearly indistinguishable patterns of DNA methylation genome-wide and that 5-azacytidine, despite being more unstable in aqueous solution, has a slightly greater demethylating effect at higher concentrations across the genome. Transcriptome analyses revealed a substantial number of up-regulated genes and transposable element genes, particularly CACTA-like elements, demonstrating that chemical demethylating agents have a disproportionately large effect on loci that are silenced by DNA methylation.

Effect of zebularine on primary human liver cancer cell lines

Project description:Transcriptomic changes in human liver cancer cell lines caused by the demethylating drug zebularine. Epigenomic changes such as aberrant hypermethylation and subsequent atypical gene silencing are characteristic features of human cancer. Here, we report a comprehensive characterization of epigenomic modulation caused by zebularine, an effective DNA methylation inhibitor, in human liver cancer. Using transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling, we identified a zebularine signature that classified liver cancer cell lines into two major subtypes with different drug-responses. In drug-sensitive cell lines, zebularine caused inhibition of proliferation coupled with increased apoptosis, whereas drug-resistant cell lines were associated with upregulation of oncogenic networks (e.g. E2F1, MYC, and TNF) driving liver cancer growth in vitro and in mice. Assessment of zebularine-based therapy in xenograft mouse models demonstrated potent therapeutic effects against tumors established from zebularine-sensitive but not zebularine-resistant liver cancer cells leading to increased survival and decreased pulmonary metastasis. Integration of zebularine gene expression and demethylation response signatures differentiated patients with HCC according to their survival and disease recurrence and identified a subclass of patients within the poor survivors likely to benefit from therapeutic agents that target the cancer epigenome.

5-azacytidine treatment reorganizes genomic histone modification patterns

Project description:Methylation of DNA in combination with histone modifications establishes an epigenetic code that ensures the proper control of gene expression. Although DNA methyltransferases have been shown to interact with histone methyltransferases such as EZH2 (which methylates histone H3 on lysine 27) and G9a (which methylates histone H3 on lysine 9), the relationship between DNA methylation and repressive histone marks has not been fully studied. In cancer cells, promoters of genes are often aberrantly methylated. Accordingly, 5-azacytidine (a DNA demethylating drug) is used for treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. However, no genome-scale studies of the effects of this drug have been reported. In this work, we report the effects of 5-azacytidine on global gene expression and analyze ~24,000 human promoters using ChIP-chip to determine how 5-azacytidine treatment effects H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 levels. We found that (1) 5-azacytidine treatment results in large changes in gene regulation with distinct functional categories of genes showing increased (e.g. C2H2 zinc finger transcription factors) and decreased (e.g. genes involved in regulation of mitochondria and oxidoreductase activity) levels; (2) most genes that show altered expression are not regulated by promoters that display DNA methylation prior to the treatment; (3) certain gene classes switch their repression mark upon treatment with 5-azacytidine (from H3K27me3 to H3K9me3 and vice versa); and (4) most changes in gene expression are not due to relief of repression mediated by DNA or histone methylation.

DNA Methyltransferase Inhibitor Zebularine Induces Human Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Death through Alteration of DNA Methylation Status

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a cancer arising from the neoplastic transformation of cholangiocytes. During tumorigenesis, tumor suppressor and cancer-related genes are commonly silenced by aberrant DNA methylation in their promoter regions. Zebularine (1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2-dihydropyrimidin-2-one) acts as an inhibitor of DNA methylation and exhibits chemical stability and minimal cytotoxicity both in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we explore the effect and possible mechanism of action of zebularine on CCA cells. We demonstrate that zebularine exerts an antitumor effect on CCA cells. Zebularine treatment decreased the concentrations of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) proteins, and DNMT1 knockdown led to apoptotic cell death in the CCA cell lines TFK-1 and HuCCT1. DNA methylation analysis demonstrated that zebularine induced DNA demethylation, and the GO Biological Process terms “hemophilic cell adhesion”, “regulation of transcription, DNAdependent” and “Wnt signaling pathway” were found to be significantly enriched in association with demethylated genes. Furthermore, we observed that zebularine treatment decreased β-catenin protein levels in TFK-1 and HuCCT1 cells. These results suggest that zebularine alters DNA methylation status, and that some aspect of DNA demethylation by zebularine induces suppression of the Wnt signaling pathway, which leads to apoptotic cell death in CCA. We previously reported a novel mechanism of zebularine-induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma via a DNA methylation-independent pathway. Together, our present and previous studies indicate that zebularine could function as both a DNMT inhibitor and a non-DNMT inhibitor reagent, and that, while the optimal usage of zebularine may depend on cancer type, zebularine may be useful for chemotherapy against cancer.

Revealing the transitory and local effect of the demethylation agent zebularine on plant development and proteome dynamics of Salix purpurea

Project description:DNA methylation plays major roles in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression, transposon and transcriptional silencing, and DNA repair, with implications in developmental processes and phenotypic plasticity. Relevantly for arboreal species, DNA methylation constitute a regulative layer in cell wall dynamics associated with xylogenesis. The use of methyltransferase and/or demethylase inhibitors has been proven informative to shed light on the methylome dynamics behind the regulation of these processes. The present work employs the cytidine analog zebularine to inhibit DNA methyltransferases and induce DNA hypomethylation in Salix purpurea plantlets grown in vitro and in soil. An integrative approach has been adopted to highlight the effects of hypomethylation on proteomic dynamics, exposing the age-specific (three weeks of in vitro culture and one month of growth in soil) and tissue-specific (shoot and root) effects following exposure to zebularine. Significant proteomic shifts were revealed in the development from in vitro to in-soil culture and, whereas zebularine treatment decreased methylation in three-weeks roots, a functionally heterogeneous subset of protein entries was differentially accumulated in shoot samples, including entries associated with cell wall dynamics, tissue morphogenesis, and hormonal regulation. The identification of tissue-specific proteomic hallmarks in combination with hypomethylating agents provides new insights into the role of DNA methylation in early plant development in willow species.
