Abnormal RNA splicing and genomic instability after induction of DNMT3A mutations by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing [MeDIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Purpose: DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) mediates de novo DNA methylation. Mutations in DNMT3A are associated with hematological malignancies, most frequently acute myeloid leukemia. DNMT3A mutations are hypothesized to establish a pre-leukemic state, rendering cells vulnerable to secondary oncogenic mutations and malignant transformation. However, the mechanisms by which DNMT3A mutations contribute to leukemogenesis are not well-defined. Methods: Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) was used to detect regional differences in DNA methylation between DNMT3A WT and MT clones. DNA extraction of WTblk, WT1, MT1, MT2, and MT4 cell lines was performed as previously described. 5-mC profiling, fragmentation, library preparation and sequencing were performed by Otogenetics (Atlanta, GA, USA). In brief, paired-end libraries were generated using the Illumina TruSeq DNA sample preparation kit. Illumina HiSeq2500 was used for sequencing with a paired-end sequencing length of 100-125 bp and approximately 40 million reads per sample. Results: We attempted to identify differentially methylated genes based on DNMT3A mutation status and found very few regions of differential methylation between WT and MT cell lines (Figure 3C), which did not exceed the number of regions expected to exhibit differential methylation by chance alone. These data suggest that regional methylation patterns do not differ between DNMT3A MT and WT cell lines in our gene-edited K562 cells. Conclusions: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DNMT3A-mutated K562 cells may be used to model effects of DNMT3A mutations in human cells. Our findings implicate aberrant splicing and induction of genomic instability as potential mechanisms by which DNMT3A mutations might predispose to malignancy.

Project description:Since DNMT3A is a de novo DNA methyltransferase, transcriptional differences in WT versus Dnmt3a-/- HSCs upon infection suggest a possible role for epigenetic regulation in the HSC transcriptional response to inflammation. Therefore, we wanted to investigate if differences in stress and presence of Dnmt3a affect the methylome overall, and specific IFNg responses genes. 100000 LT-HSCs (LK CD150+ CD48- were sorted into lysis buffer from the pools of naive or 1-month (M. avium) infected WT/ Dnmt3-/-_x0001_ mice (n = 7-8 per group). Around 300 ng of DNA per group was extracted with AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit. NEBNext Ultra II DNA library prep kit was used for library preparation. Bisulfite conversion step was added after ‘‘methylated’’ adaptor ligation and USER excision. Then, methylated adaptor ligated DNA fragment was treated with bisulfite conversion using EZ DNA methylationlightning kit. These modified DNA fragments were then amplified with index primers with Kapa HiFi urasil+ specialized polymerase for bisulfite converted DNA. For WGBS library sequencing, 150-high output kit from illumine was used. Samples (400 million reads/ sample (15-20X coverage)) were run in NovaSeq S1 FC (2, lanes 1,600 Million reads). Global methylation of Dnmt3a-/- cells was more divergent upon infection compared to WT. There were vastly more hyper- and hypomethylated regions in infected versus naive Dnmt3a-/- HSCs compared to WT. Among the altered regions, both WT and Dnmt3a-/- HSCs showed slightly more hypomethylated than hypermethylated regions, although changes in both directions were present. In the WT background, regions of hyper- and hypomethylation were mostly restricted to CpG islands. By contrast, highly significant differences in hypomethylation were found in the Dnmt3a-/- HSCs in CpG islands, shores, enhancers, and promoters DNMT3A is highly active in HSCs during infection and that the loss of DNMT3A function results in significant global changes in methylation, including both hyper- and hypomethylation, in genome regions that likely affect gene transcription. we examined the methylation of Batf2, Jun, and Fos. All 3 of these prodifferentiation genes showed increased methylation in the promoter region in the Dnmt3a-/- background as compared to the WT background. Hypermethylation of these promoter regions is consistent with their transcriptional repression.
