DNA methylation programming and reprogramming in primate embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism, affecting normal development and playing a key role in reprogramming epigenomes during stem cell derivation. Here we report on DNA methylation patterns in native monkey embryonic stem (ES) cells, fibroblasts and ES cells generated through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), identifying and comparing epigenome programming and reprogramming. We characterize hundreds of regions that are hyper- or hypo- methylated in fibroblasts compared to native ES cells and show that these are conserved in human cells and tissues. Remarkably, the vast majority of these regions are reprogrammed in SCNT ES cells, leading to almost perfect correlation between the epigenomic profiles of the native and reprogrammed lines. At least 58% of these changes are correlated in cis to transcription changes, Polycomb Repressive Complex-2 occupancy, or binding by the CTCF insulator. We also show that while epigenomic reprogramming is extensive and globally accurate, the efficiency of adding and stripping DNA methylation during reprogramming is regionally variable. In several cases, this variability results in regions that remain methylated in a fibroblast-like pattern even after reprogramming. DNA methylation profiles in rhesus monkey native ES cells (ORMES-22), fibroblasts, and ES cells generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (CRES-2), as well as a distinctly different native ES line (the homozygous parthenote ORMES-9) to control for ES line specific effects were identified via hybridization to a custom array including a set of human ESC bivalent domains combined with additional methylation related domains and control regions.

Project description:Somatic cell nuclear transfer has brought considerable chances to breed excellent breeds and protect endanger animals, while also produced numerous fail embryos and abnormal individuals due to inefficient epigenetic modification at the same time. To understand some mechanisms of abnormal piglets with phenotypes such as macroglossia, standing and walking disabilities in our study and find some differences between abnormal piglets and conventionally bred normal piglets, DNA methylation profile and genome-wide gene expression were conducted in two groups, using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation binding highthroughput sequencing (MeDIP-Seq) and RNA sequencing(RNA-Seq). We generated and provided a genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression profile for abnormal cloned and conventionally bred piglets. We detected a total of 1493 genes differentially expressed in two groups and 382 of these genes also differentially methylated in two groups. Analysis of relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression revealed that DNA methylation levels had significantly negative and monotonic correlation with gene expression levels in particular regions of genes while no obvious monotonic correlation in other regions. Besides, we found some interesting genes and pathways such as MYH7 and mTOR signalling pathway that may played essential role in muscle growth and development. Briefly, these results provide reliable data for future epigenetic studies and may help to uncover the mechanism of failure clones via SCNT. We dissected the leg muscle from the cloned piglets and the conventionally bred piglets, and analyzed the difference of MeDIP-seq and RNA-seq between the two groups. As for data of abnormal cloned piglets, we downloaded it from GEO under Super-Series accession No. GSE51477, including SubSeries accession No.GSE51282 for RNA-seq data (No. GSM1241829 for abnormal cloned group) and SubSeries accession No. GSE51476 for MeDIP-seq data (No. GSM1246252 for abnormal cloned group).

Project description:Alcohol is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) although the mechanisms underlying the alcohol-related liver carcinogenesis are still poorly understood. Alcohol is known to increase hepatocarcinogenesis possibly by inducing aberrant DNA methylation through the reduced provision of methyl groups within the hepatic one-carbon metabolism. Whether the epigenetically-regulated pathways in alcohol-associated HCC can be reversible or modifiable by nutritional factors is unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genome wide promoter DNA methylation profiles along with array-based, gene expression profiles in non-viral, alcohol-associated HCC. From eight HCC patients the methylation status and transcriptional levels of all annotated genes were compared by analyzing HCC tissue and the cancer-free surrounding liver tissue, following curative surgery. After merging both the DNA methylation and gene expression data, we identified 159 hypermethylated-repressed, 30 hypomethylated-induced, 49 hypermethylated-induced and 56 hypomethylated-repressed genes. A number of potentially novel candidate tumor-suppressor genes (FAM107A, IGFALS, MT1G, MT1H, RNF180) demonstrated promoter hypermethylation and transcriptional repression in alcohol-associated HCC. Notably, promoter DNA methylation appeared as the regulatory mechanism for the transcriptional repression of genes controlling the retinol metabolic pathway (ADH1A, ADH1B, ADH6, CYP3A43, CYP4A22, RDH16) and SHMT1, a key gene within one-carbon metabolism. A genome-wide DNA methylation approach linked up with array-based gene expression profiles allowed identifying a number of novel, epigenetically-regulated candidate tumor-suppressor genes in alcohol-associated hepatocarcinogenesis. Retinol metabolism genes and SHMT1 are also epigenetically-regulated through promoter DNA methylation in alcohol-associated hepatocarcinogenesis. 16 samples (8 control samples from non-neoplastic liver tissue, 8 test samples from hepatocellular carcinoma) from 8 patients affected from hepatocellular carcinoma were analyzed.
