Project description:Differentiation of CD4+T-cells into effector subsets is a critical component of the adaptive immune system and an incorrect response can lead to autoimmunity or immune deficiency. Cellular differentiation including T-cell differentiation is accompanied by large-scale epigenetic remodeling, including changes in DNA methylation at key regulators of T-cell differentiation. The TET family of enzymes were recently shown to be able to catalyse methylated cytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) enabling a pathway of active removal of DNA methylation. Here, we characterize 5hmC, 5mC and transcriptional dynamics during human CD4+T-cell polarisation in a time series approach and relate these changes to profiles in ex-vivo CD4+memory subsets. We observed large-scale remodelling during early CD4+T-cell differentiation which was predictive of subsequent changes during late time points, these changes were also related to disease associated regions which we show can act as functional regulatory elements. This dataset was designed to assess how DNA methylation differs between in-vivo derived CD4+memory T-cell subsets. DNA methylation was assessed in relationship to gene expression levels and changes (see data series), we observed anticorrelation between promoter DNA methylation levels and gene expression. This submission contains data from DNA methylation profiling of primary human CD4+T-cell memory subsets. This is part of a series, containing transcription and DNA methylation profiling of the same samples. See related experiments E-MTAB-4685, E-MTAB-4686, E-MTAB-4687, E-MTAB-4688
Project description:Epigenetic regulation plays an important role in cellular development and differentiation. A detailed map of the DNA methylation dynamics that occur during cell differentiation would contribute to decipher the molecular networks governing cell fate commitment. We used the most recent Illumina MethylationEPIC Beadchip platform to describe the genome-wide DNA methylation changes observed throughout hematopoietic maturation by analyzing multiple hematopoietic cell types at different developmental stages. We identified a plethora of DNA methylation changes that occur during human hematopoietic differentiation. Interestingly, we observed that T lymphocytes display a substantial enhancement of de novo CpG hypermethylation as compared to other hematopoietic cell populations.

This dataset was designed to assess how gene expression changes over time during human CD4+T-cell polarization towards Th1 and Th2. DNA methylation was assessed in relationship to 5hmC levels and changes (see data series), we observed that regions gaining 5hmC early was highly predictive of regions losing DNA methylation during late time points. This submission contains data from the DNA methylation by array profiling of human CD4+T-cells in-vitro polarized towards Th1 and Th2 time-series. It is part of series containing 5hmC and DNA methylation profiling of the same samples. See related experiments E-MTAB-4685, E-MTAB-4686, E-MTAB-4687, E-MTAB-4689.
Project description:This study focused on identifying altered DNA methylation profiles in obese patients with diabetes, during three adipocyte differentiation stages. We isolated mesenchymal cells from obese patients with and without T2D to analyze DNA methylation profiles at 0, 3, and 18 days of ex vivo differentiation.
Project description:Genomewide DNA methylation profiling of monocyte isolated from humna blood, immature and mature dendritic cells generated ex vivo. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 beadchips were used to generate DNA methylation profiles. Bisulfite converted DNA were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 beadchips

This dataset was designed to assess how gene expression changes over time during human CD4+T-cell polarization towards Th1 and Th2. Gene expression was assessed in relationship to 5hmC and DNA methylation levels and changes (see data series), we observed characteristic gene expression for the specific time points and stimuli or cell type and the expression was correlated with gene body 5hmC as well as anticorrelated with promoter DNA methylation levels. This submission contains data from transcription profiling by array of human CD4+T-cells, Th1/Th2 polarized time-series and primary memory subsets. It is part of series containing 5hmC and DNA methylation profiling of the same samples. See related experiments E-MTAB-4685, E-MTAB-4686, E-MTAB-4688, E-MTAB-4689.
