Depletion of DNMT1 in differentiated human cells highlights key classes of sensitive genes and an interplay with polycomb repression [expression]

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation plays a vital role in the cell, but loss-of-function mutations of the maintenance methyltransferase DNMT1 in normal human cells are lethal, precluding target identification, and existing hypomorphic lines are tumour cells. We generated instead a hypomorphic series in normal hTERT-immortalised fibroblasts using stably integrated short hairpin RNA. Approx 2/3 of sites showed demethylation as expected, with 1/3 showing hypermethylation, and targets were shared between the three independently-derived lines. Enrichment analysis indicated significant losses at promoters and gene bodies with four gene classes most affected: 1)protocadherins, which are key to neural cell identity; 2)genes involved in fat homeostasis/body mass determination; 3)olfactory receptors and 4) cancer/testis antigen (CTA) genes. Overall effects on transcription were relatively small in these fibroblasts, but CTA genes showed robust derepression. Comparison with siRNA-treated cells indicated that shRNA lines show substantial remethylation over time. Regions showing persistent hypomethylation in the shRNA lines were associated with polycomb repression, and were derepressed on addition of an EZH2 inhibitor. Persistent hypermethylation in shRNA lines was in contrast associated with poised promoters. Our results suggest polycomb marking blocks remethylation and indicate the sensitivity of key neural, adipose, and cancer-associated genes to chronic depletion of maintenance methylation activity.

HLA peptides (LC-MSMS) induced by Decitabine in Glioblastoma cell lines

Project description:Treatment of cancer cells with anti-cancer drugs often fails to achieve complete remission. Yet, such drug treatments may induce alteration in the tumor’s gene expression patterns, including those of Cancer/Testis Antigens (CTA). The degradation products of such antigens can be presented as HLA peptides on the surface of the tumor cells and be developed into anti-cancer immunotherapeutics. For example, the DNA methyl transferase inhibitor, 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (Decitabine) has limited anti-tumor efficacy, yet it induces the expression of many genes, including CTAs that are normally silenced in the healthy adult tissues. In this study, the presentation of many new HLA peptides derived from CTAs and induced by Decitabine was demonstrated in three human Glioblastoma cell lines. Such presentation of CTA-derived HLA peptides can be exploited for development of new treatment modalities, combining drug treatment with anti-CTA targeted immunotherapy. The Decitabine-induced HLA peptidomes include many CTAs that are not normally detected in healthy tissues or in cancer cells, unless treated with the drug. In addition, the study included large-scale analyses of the simultaneous effects of Decitabine on the transcriptomes, proteomes and HLA peptidomes of the human Glioblastoma cells. It demonstrates the poor correlations between these three levels of gene expression, both in their total levels and in their response to the drug.

CHO O-Mannosylation independent of POMT1/2

Project description:Protein O-mannosylation is found in yeast and metazoans and a family of conserved orthologous polypeptide O-mannosyltransferases is believed to initiate this important posttranslational modification. We recently discovered that the large families of cadherins and protocadherins carry highly conserved O-Man glycans in specific EC domains, and it was suggested that the function of E-Cadherin was dependent on the O-Man glycans. Deficiencies in the two human polypeptide O-mannosyltransferases, POMT1 and T2, underlie a subgroup of congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) designated α-dystroglycanopathies, because deficient O-Man glycans on -dystroglycan impair laminin interaction with -dystroglycan and the dystrophin complex. In order to explore the functions of O-Man glycans on cadherins and protocadherins we used a combinatorial gene editing strategy in multiple cell lines to evaluate to the role of the two POMTs initiation O-Man glycosylation and the major enzyme elongating O-Man glycans, the POMGNT1 2GlcNAc-transferase. Surprisingly, we discovered that O-Man glycans on cadherins and protocadherins do not appear to require POMT1 and T2 and moreover that the O-Man glycans on these proteins are not elongated in contrast to those on dystroglycan.

Identification of flap structure specific endonuclease 1 as a factor involved in LTM formation of aversive learning

Project description:We proposed that DNA recombination/repair processes play a role in memory formation. Here, we used microarray analysis of rat amygdala genes to identify possible DNA recombination/repair factors involved in memory consolidation of conditioned taste aversion (CTA). Among the genes that showed statistically significant differential expression, we identified fen-1, encoding a flap-structure specific DNA endonuclease. Amygdalar fen-1 mRNA induction was associated to the illness component of CTA, since it could be observed by the pairing of a flavor and gastrointestinal illness, by the illness itself, but not by the presentation of the flavor alone. No CTA related induction of fen-1 expression was observed in the insular cortex. Importantly, functional validation studies demonstrated that amygdalar suppression of fen-1 expression impaired memory consolidation of CTA. Overall, our studies helped identify a new DNA recombination/repair candidate factor involved in memory formation of aversive experiences. Two comparisons were established between the cRNA samples: CTA versus Flavor-only and CTA versus Toxin-only. For each comparison, the microarray experiment was repeated four times using new biological samples, each consisting of a sample pool from 3 animals. Two of the four biological replicates were performed as dye-swaps in order to correct for dye bias effects.

Direct ChIP-bisulfite sequencing reveals a role of H3K27me3 mediating aberrant hypermethylation of promoter CpG islands in cancer cells (RNA-seq)

Project description:Aberrant DNA hypermethylation of CpG island (CGI) promoters are associated with transcriptional repression of many tumor suppressor genes and lead to tumor progression in many cancers. Most recently, one research group observed that aberrantly hypermethylated genes in multiple cancers are already repressed, but their promoters are maintained in a hypomethylated state in pre-cancerous tissues.Their studies didn't provide a clue to explain by what mechanisms those genes were repressed in pre-cancerous tissues. Another research group found that many genes with de novo promoter hypermethylation in colon cancer were among the subset of genes "bivalently" marked in embryonic stem cells and adult stem/progenitor cells by repressive Polycomb group proteins (PcG), which are known for maintaining low, but poised, transcription.These observations provide a clue that CGI promoter hypermethylation in cancers is associated with PcG target genes in pre-cancerous tissues.we took advantage of ChIP-BS-seq technology and applied it to examine H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 profiles for one normal lymphoblastoid cell line (YH) and three cancer cell lines including one cervical cancer cell line (Hela) and two gastric cancer (GC) cell lines (BGC-823 and AGS).
