Heterochromatin Protein 1γ Regulates Epigenetic Reprogramming in Primordial Germ Cells

ABSTRACT: Temporal and spatial regulation of trimethylation of histone H3 lysine27 (H3K27me3) is crucial for cell lineage commitment and development. Resetting the ground state of H3K27me3 is important for establishing a proper development program of primordial germ cells (PGCs). The mechanisms that regulate global erasure of epigenetic information in the germ line are not well understood. Here we show that HP1γ suppresses the demethylation activity of Utx through direct interaction in vitro and in vivo. Down-regulation of mammalian heterochromatin protein 1 gamma (HP1γ) coincides with transient loss of H3K27me3 in PGCs on Embryonic Day 10.5 (E10.5). Furthermore, transient abolishment of HP1γ promotes the induction of embryonic stem cells into putative PGCs in vitro. These data reveal a cross-talk between HP1γ and Utx in controlling histone H3K27 methylation status, thereby define HP1γ as a molecular regulator of germ cell epigenetic reprogramming.

The H3K27 demethylase Utx facilitates somatic and germ cell epigenetic reprogramming to pluripotency [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Pluripotency can be induced in somatic cells by ectopic expression of defined transcription factors, however the identity of epigenetic regulators driving the progression of cellular reprogramming requires further investigation. Here we uncover a non-redundant role for the JmjC-domain-containing protein histone H3 methylated Lys 27 (H3K27) demethylase Utx, as a critical regulator for the induction, but not for the maintenance, of primed and naM-CM-/ve pluripotency in mice and in humans. Utx depletion results in aberrant H3K27me3 repressive chromatin demethylation dynamics, which subsequently hampers the reactivation of pluripotency promoting genes during reprogramming. Remarkably, Utx deficient primordial germ cells (PGCs) display a cell autonomous aberrant epigenetic reprogramming in vivo during their embryonic maturation, resulting in the lack of functional contribution to the germ-line lineage. H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 were measured genome-wide in the following cell types: Utx+/Y (WT) and Utx-/Y (KO) mouse ES cells and mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) before and after DOX induction (initiating reprogramming by OSKM factors).

Genome-wide erasure of DNA methylation in mouse primordial germ cells is affected by Aid deficiency

Project description:Epigenetic reprogramming including demethylation of DNA occurs in mammalian primordial germ cells (PGCs) and in early embryos, and is important for the erasure of imprints and epimutations, and the return to pluripotency. The extent of this reprogramming and its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We previously showed that the cytidine deaminases Aid and Apobec1 can deaminate 5-methylcytosine in vitro and in E coli, and in the mouse are expressed in tissues in which demethylation occurs. Here we profiled DNA methylation throughout the genome by unbiased bisulfite Next Generation Sequencing (BS-Seq) in wildtype and Aid deficient PGCs at E13.5. Wildtype PGCs revealed dramatic genome-wide erasure of methylation to a level below that of methylation deficient (Np95-/-) ES cells, with female PGCs being less methylated than male ones. By contrast, Aid deficient PGCs were up to three times more methylated than wildtype ones; this substantial difference occurred throughout the genome, with introns, intergenic regions and transposons being relatively more methylated than exons. Relative hypermethylation in Aid deficient PGCs was confirmed by analysis of individual loci in the genome. Our results reveal that erasure of DNA methylation in the germ line is a global process, hence limiting the potential for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Aid deficiency interferes with genome-wide erasure of DNA methylation patterns, suggesting that Aid has a critical function in epigenetic reprogramming and potentially in restricting the inheritance of epimutations in mammals.

Replication-coupled passive DNA demethylation for the erasure of genome imprints in mice

Project description:Genome-wide DNA demethylation, including the erasure of genome imprints, in primordial germ cells (PGCs), is critical as a first step for creating the totipotent epigenome in the germ line. Here, we provide evidence that contrary to the prevailing model involving active DNA demethylation, imprint erasure in mouse PGCs occurs in a manner consistent with replication-coupled passive DNA demethylation: PGCs erase imprints during their rapid proliferation with little de novo as well as maintenance DNA methylation potential and no major chromatin alterations. Our findings necessitate the re-evaluation of and provide novel insights into the mechanism of genome-wide DNA demethylation in PGCs. We performed expression analysis of primordial germ cells (PGCs) at embryonic days 10.5-13.5. Because the number of PGCs available at these stages were low, cDNAs were amplified by the method that we previously published (Kurimoto et al. 2006, NAR 34: e42 (PMID 16547197)). To include analysis of PGC gene expression at E9.5, we re-normalized the data from our E9.5 PGC samples (GSM744103, GSM744104) from our previous publication (Hayashi et al., 2011, Cell 146: 519-32 (PMD 21820164)) together with the data from this submission.

Genome-wide DNA methylation reprogramming in porcine primordial germ cells

Project description:DNA methylation reprogramming of primordial germ cells (PGCs) is an essential step that affects the activation and inactivation of certain genes, therefore having a direct impact on the transcriptome of an individual. In this study, we have described the methylome landscape of porcine PGCs, characterizing the genomic elements that resist methylation erasure.

PGC reversion to pluripotency involves erasure of DNA methylation from imprinting control centers followed by locus-specific re-methylation

Project description:Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are fate restricted to differentiate into gametes in vivo. However when removed from their embryonic niche PGCs undergo reversion to generate pluripotent embryonic germ cells (EGCs) in vitro. One of the major differences between EGCs and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) involves variable methylation at imprinting control centers (ICCs), a phenomenon that is poorly understood. In the current study we show that reverting PGCs to EGCs involves ICC methylation erasure, which remain stably hypomethylated at Snrpn, Igf2r and Kcnqot1. In contrast, the H19/Igf2 ICC undergoes almost complete de novo remethylation. Using the same approach for PGCs differentiated in vitro from ESCs we show that the Snrpn ICC is erased however the hypomethylated state is highly unstable. We also discovered that when the H19/Igf2 ICC is abnormally hypermethylated in ESCs, ICC methylation is not erased with differentiation into PGCs. This highlights the importance of not only launching germline differentiation with correctly methylated ESC lines but also the need to better stabilize the hypomethylated state in the in vitro derivatives following ICC erasure.
