Dnmt3a restrains mast cell inflammatory responses

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation and specifically the DNA methyltransferase enzyme DNMT3A are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of hematological diseases and in regulating the function of immune cells. Although altered DNA methylation patterns and mutations in DNMT3A correlate with mast cell proliferative disorders in humans, the role of DNA methylation in mast cell biology is not understood. By utilizing mast cells lacking Dnmt3a, we found that this enzyme is involved in restraining mast cell responses to acute and chronic stimuli, both in vitro and in vivo. The exacerbated mast cell responses observed in absence of Dnmt3a were recapitulated or enhanced by treatment with the demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine, as well as by down-modulation of Dnmt1 expression, further supporting the role of DNA methylation in regulating mast cell activation. Mechanistically, these effects were in part mediated by the dysregulated expression of the scaffold protein IQGAP2, which is characterized by the ability to regulate a wide variety of biological processes. Altogether, our data demonstrate that DNMT3A and DNA methylation are key modulators of mast cell responsiveness to acute and chronic stimulation.

Dnmt3a haploinsufficiency transforms Flt3-ITD myeloproliferative disease into a rapid, spontaneous, and fully-penetrant acute myeloid leukemia (Single Cell RNA-Seq)

Project description:Cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) represents nearly 50% of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases with a 5-year overall survival of approximately 30%. In CN-AML with poorer prognosis, mutations in the de novo DNA methyltransferase (DNMT3A) and the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) commonly co-occur (1-3). We demonstrate that mice with Flt3-internal-tandem duplication (Flt3ITD) and inducible deletion of Dnmt3a spontaneously develop a rapidly-lethal, completely-penetrant, and transplantable AML of normal karyotype. These murine AML retain a single Dnmt3a floxed allele, revealing the oncogenic potential of Dnmt3a haploinsufficiency. FLT3-ITD/DNMT3A-mutant primary human and murine AML demonstrate a similar pattern of global DNA methylation. In the murine model, rescuing DNMT3A expression was accompanied by DNA re-methylation and loss of clonogenic potential, suggesting that Dnmt3a-mutant oncogenic effects are reversible. Differentially methylated genomic regions were associated with changes in the expression of nearby genes. Moreover, dissection of the cellular architecture of the AML model using single-cell RNA-Seq, flow cytometry and colony assays identified clonogenic subpopulations that differentially express genes that are sensitive to the methylation of nearby genomic loci and varied in response to Dnmt3a levels. Thus, Dnmt3a haploinsufficiency transforms Flt3ITD myeloproliferative disease by modulating methylation-sensitive gene expression within a clonogenic AML subpopulation. To identify the gene expression changes associated with Dnmt3a loss of function in human and murine Flt3-ITD and Dnmt3a-mutant AML (Single Cell RNA-Seq).

Active DNA Demethylation by DNMT3A and DNMT3B - Mechanistic Aspect and In Vivo Evidence

Project description:The DNA methylation program is at the bottom layer of the epigenetic regulatory cascade of vertebrate development. While the methylation at C-5 position of the cytosine (C) residues on the vertebrate genomes is achieved through the catalytic activities of the DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), the conversion of the methylated cytosine (5mC) could be accomplished by the combined actions of the TET enzyme and DNA repair. Interestingly, it has been found recently that the mouse and human DNMTs also possess active DNA demethylation activity in vitro in a Ca2+- and redox condition-dependent manner. We report here the study of tracking down the fate of the methyl group removed from 5mC on DNA during in vitro demethylation reaction by mouse de novo DNMTs, i.e. DNMT3A and DNMT3B. Remarkably, the methyl group becomes covalently linked to the catalytic cysteines utilized by the two de novo DNMTs in their DNA methylation reactions. Thus, the forward and reverse reactions of DNA methylations by the DNMTs may utilize the same cysteine residue(s) as the active site despite of their distinctive pathways. Secondly, we demonstrate that active DNA demethylation of a heavily methylated GFP reporter plasmid by ectopically expressed DNMT3A or DNMT3B occurs in vivo in transfected human HEK 293 cells in culture. Furthermore, the extent of DNA demethylation by the DNMTs in this cell-based system is affected by Ca2+ homeostasis as well as by mutation of their putative active cysteines. These findings substantiate the roles of the vertebrate DNMTs as double-edged swords in DNA methylation-demethylation in vitro as well as in a cellular context.

Base-resolution analysis of DNA methylation patterns downstream of Dnmt3a in mouse naïve B cells

Project description:Background: The DNA methyltransferase, Dnmt3a, is one of the most commonly mutated genes in adult hematologic malignancies and is dynamically regulated throughout normal B cell development and upon activation by antigenic stimulation. Dnmt3a inactivation in hematopoietic stem cells has been shown to drive B cell-related malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and associates with specific DNA methylation patterns in transformed cells. While a cell-type specific role for Dnmt3a has been proposed in carcinogenesis, the role of Dnmt3a in directing specific DNA methylation patterns in B cell development has not been characterized. Results: We selectively inactivated Dnmt3a early in B cell development and then utilized Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing to generate base-resolution profiles of Dnmt3a+/+ and Dnmt3a−/− mouse naïve splenic B cells. Although overall methylation level distribution was largely consistent between Dnmt3a+/+ and Dnmt3a−/− B cells, we identified site-specific and regional differences corresponding to both gains and losses of methylation in Dnmt3a−/− cells relative to Dnmt3a+/+ cells. Hypomethylated regions (N = 313) in Dnmt3a−/− cells, however, were more frequently observed than were hypermethylated regions (N = 136) by over 2-fold, consistent with loss of methyltransferase activity. Conclusions: We have identified a set of CpG sites that require Dnmt3a to maintain normal methylation levels in naïve B cells. These CpGs are associated with genes expressed in B cells that undergo dysregulation in leukemias.

Hematopoietic differentiation of human iPSC is hardly affected by knockouts in DNMT3A exons despite loss of de novo DNA methylation [RNA-seq]

Project description:DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) is the most frequently mutated gene in clonal hematopoiesis, indicating that it may be essential for hematopoietic differentiation. We therefore addressed the functional relevance of DNMT3A for hematopoietic differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by knocking out either exon 2, 19, or 23. Directed differentiation towards mesenchymal stromal cells or hematopoietic progenitor cells (iHPCs) was only slightly reduced in exon 19-/- lines. Notably, exon 19-/- and exon 23-/- lines revealed absence of almost the entire de novo DNA methylation during differentiation. Despite the drastic effects on DNA methylation, there was no significant impact on gene expression of iHPCs. Notably, DNA methylation differences in acute myeloid leukemia with/without DNMT3A are related to iHPCs with/without DNMT3A knockout. Our results demonstrate that de novo DNA methylation during hematopoietic differentiation of iPSCs is almost entirely dependent on DNMT3A, while it has little impact on early cell-fate decisions.
