Project description:Extensive epigenetic remodelling takes place during early life; however, the alterations of DNA methylation that occur during this period have not been sufficiently addressed by longitudinal studies. We made use of the most recent Illumina MethylationEPIC Beadchip platform to characterize genome-wide DNA methylation changes observed through the first 10 years of life in longitudinal blood samples of 11 subjects. We described numerous changes during the first 5 years, while many less alterations in the following 5 year period. Interestingly, we identified a subset of persistent DNA methylation changes of considerable magnitude along the first 10 years of life. Moreover, our data demonstrated that genes that suffer simultaneous hyper- and hypomethylation are functionally different from genes that are exclusively hyper- or hypomethylated. Furthermore, our results evidence that enhancer-associated methylation changes are different for the gain or loss of methylation. 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.

Project description:Background: Early life epigenetic programming influences adult health outcomes. Moreover, DNA methylation levels have been found to change more rapidly during the first years of life. Our aim was the identification and characterization of the CpG sites that are modified with time during the first years of life. We hypothesize that these DNA methylation changes would lead to the detection of genes that might be epigenetically modulated by environmental factors during early childhood and which, if disturbed, might contribute to susceptibility to diseases later in life. Methods: The study of the DNA methylation pattern of 485577 CpG sites was performed on 30 blood samples from 15 subjects, collected both at birth and at 5 years old, using Illumina® Infinium 450 k array. To identify differentially methylated CpG (dmCpG) sites, the methylation status of each probe was examined using linear models and the Empirical Bayes Moderated t test implemented in the limma package of R/Bioconductor. Surogate variable analysis was used to account for batch effects. Results: DNA methylation levels significantly changed from birth to 5 years of age in 6641 CpG sites. Of these, 36.79 % were hypermethylated and were associated with genes related mainly to developmental ontology terms, while 63.21 % were hypomethylated probes and associated with genes related to immune function. Conclusions: Our results suggest that DNA methylation alterations with age during the first years of life might play a significant role in development and the regulation of leukocyte-specific functions. This supports the idea that blood leukocytes experience genome remodeling related to their interaction with environmental factors, underlining the importance of environmental exposures during the first years of life and suggesting that new strategies should be take into consideration for disease prevention.

Project description:We measured the DNA methylation levels at ~800,000 CpG sites from ethnically admixed children in CBMCs at birth and PBMCs age 7 to study the longitudinal dynamics of methylation marks. We found that self-reported race-dependent methylation levels were conserved over time, which helped to suggest that blood methylation levels are robust to environmental exposures during the first 7 years of life.

Project description:Children develop rapidly during the first years of life, and understanding the different sources and levels of variation in serum proteome of young children is important when using serum proteins as markers for childhood diseases. We have performed label/free quantitative proteomics for longitudinal serum samples collected from a group of children during the first years of life.

Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Project description:Fifteen-year-old adolescents (N = 109) in a longitudinal study of child development were recruited to examine differences in DNA methylation in relation to parent reports of adversity during the adolescents’ infancy and preschool periods. Microarray technology applied to 28,000 cytosine–guanine dinucleotide sites within DNA derived from buccal epithelial cells showed differential methylation among adolescents whose parents reported high levels of stress during their children’s early lives. Maternal stressors in infancy and paternal stressors in the preschool years were most strongly predictive of differential methylation, and the patterning of such epigenetic marks varied by children’s gender. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of prospective associations between adversities in early childhood and the epigenetic conformation of adolescents’ genomic DNA.
