Project description:We surveyed DNA methylation profiles of all human RefSeq promoters in relation to gene expression and differentiation in adipose tissue, bone marrow and muscle mesenchymal progenitors, as well as in bone marrow-derived hematopoietic progenitors. We unravel strongly overlapping DNA methylation profiles between adipose stem cells (ASCs), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and muscle progenitor cells (MPCs), while hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) are more epigenetically distant from MSCs seen as a whole. Differentiation resolves a fraction of methylation patterns common to MSCs, generating epigenetic divergence. DNA was isolated from MSCs isolated from various tissues and from differentiated cells, immunoprecipitated using antibodies to 5-methylcytosine, and co-hybridized onto Nimblegen promoter arrays together with input DNA.

RNA was isolated from MSCs isolated from various tissues and from differentiated cells, and hybridized onto Illumina expression arrays. 2-3 replicates per cell type. The supplementary file 'GSE19773_non-normalized.txt' contains the non-normalized data for Samples GSM493884-GSM493894.

Project description:DNA methylation analysis on purified human long-term and short-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC, ST-HSC), common myeloid and megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor cells (CMP, MEP) using HELP arrays. FACS-purified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) subsets were analyzed for changes in DNA methylation using NimbleGen HELP microarrays. Analysis of DNA methylation of bone marrow-derived HSPC subsets of healthy human donors.
Project description:Tissue and their component cells have unique DNA methylation profiles comprising DNA methylation patterns of tissue-dependent and differentially methylated regions (T-DMRs). T-DMRs are found throughout the genome and influence tissue-specific gene expression. DNA methylation profile of T-DMRs underlies the network of tissue- and developmental stage-specific transcription factors and their targets. The adult brain consists of various kinds of cells that sequentially appear as neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes from late gestation through the neonatal period. Distinctive neural progenitor cells (NPCs) that exhibit different differentiation poteintials to neurons to glial cells are generated during mid-to-late gestation. To explore DNA methylation profiles of mouse NPCs, we compared neurospheres derived from telencephalons at embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5NSph) and 14.5 (E14.5NSph) by T-DMR profiling with restriction tag-mediated amplification (D-REAM) combined with Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Promoter 1.0R Array. We used HpyCH4IV, a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme that recognizes ACGT residues. Because these are uniformly distributed across the genome, it enables less biased analysis. By comparing D-REAM data between E11.5NSph and E14.5NSph, we identified genes with T-DMRs including those involved in neural develpment and/or associated with neurological disorders in humans. The present study elucidates the underlying dynamics of the DNA methylation profile of T-DMRs during neural development, including insights into developmental stage-specific hypomethylation of T-DMRs around TSSs.
