Project description:We propose that tetraploidy induces epigentic changes including DNA methylation due to the abnormal chromatin in the cells. To test our hypothesis, we employed methylated CpG island recovery assay (MIRA) assisted microarray to determine the DNA methylation profiles in both diploid and tetraploid cells. First, we conducted a methylated-CpG island recovery assay (MIRA). Briefly, we enriched for methylated CpG islands with methylated DNA binding proteins, MBD2/MBD3L1. The pulled down DNA fragments containing CpG islands and input DNA fragments were amplified with real-time PCR. After labeling, they were hybridized to CpG island promoter array. Data were collected and analyzed.

Project description:Astrocytomas are common and lethal human brain tumors. Here, we have analyzed the methylation status of over 28,000 CpG islands and 18,000 promoters in normal human brain and in astrocytomas of various grades using the methylated-CpG island recovery assay (MIRA). We identified six to seven thousand methylated CpG islands in normal human brain. ~5% of the promoter-associated CpG islands in normal brain are methylated. Promoter CpG island methylation is inversely and intragenic methylation is directly correlated with gene expression levels in brain tissue. In astrocytomas, several hundred CpG islands undergo specific hypermethylation relative to normal brain with 428 methylation peaks common to more than 25% of the tumors. Genes involved in brain development and neuronal differentiation, such as POU4F3, GDNF, OTX2, NEFM, CNTN4, OTP, SIM1, FYN, EN1, CHAT, GSX2, NKX6-1, RAX, PAX6, DLX2, were strongly enriched among genes frequently methylated in tumors. There was an overrepresentation of homeobox genes and 31% of the most commonly methylated genes represent targets of the Polycomb complex. We identified several chromosomal loci in which many (sometimes more than 20) consecutive CpG islands were hypermethylated in tumors. Seven of such loci were near homeobox genes, including the HOXC and HOXD clusters, and the BARHL2, DLX1, and PITX2 genes. Two other clusters of hypermethylated islands were at sequences of recent gene duplication events. Our analysis offers mechanistic insights into brain neoplasia suggesting that methylation of genes involved in neuronal differentiation, perhaps in cooperation with other oncogenic events, may shift the balance from regulated differentiation towards gliomagenesis.

Project description:In this study, we have investigated the relationship between genome-wide DNA methylation pattern and HIV infection using the methylated DNA immunoprecipitation - microarray method. A pair of monozygotic twins was recruited: one of the twins was infected with HIV while the other was not. The immunoprecipitated CpG-methylated DNA from HIV positive subject (test) and from HIV negative subject (input control) were labelled with Cy5 and Cy3 respectively The methylated genomic DNA fragments from HIV+ and HIV- twins were hybridized on the same chip since the identical genetic background

Project description:We propose that abnormal DNA content in tetraploid cells can alter the gene expression profile, contributing to the cellular transformation. To test this hypothesis, we employ mRNA microarray to compare the gene expression profile in transformed tetraploid cells with that in the parent diploid cells. Keywords: gene expression profile determination Total RNA were extracted from diploid or tetraploid cells (n = 3 for each cell lines. mRNA microarray hybridization was conducted. Data were collected and analyzed.

Project description:Analysis of copy number variation in evolved haploid, diploid, tetraploid strains. All experimental samples were compared to the same reference strain S288C. The samples include the progenitor strains for the haploid, diploid, and tetraploid evolution experiments, and single colony isolates (clones) from the evolving populations at given time points. Evolved clones were analyzed at generation 250 unless the name is followed by gen35, gen55 or gen500, in which case those generations were analyzed.

Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of autotetraploidy on gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana by comparing diploid versus tetraploid transcriptomes. In particular, this included the comparison of the transcriptome of different tetraploid A. thaliana ecotypes (Col-0 vs. Ler-0). The study was extended to address further aspects. One was the comparison of the transcriptomes in subsequent generations. This intended to obtain information on the genome wide stability of autotetraploid gene expression. Another line of work compared the transcriptomes of different diploid vs. tetraploid tissues. This aimed to investigate whether particular gene groups are specifically affected during the development of A. thaliana autotetraploids.

Project description:Differentiated somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by forced expression of four transcription factorsâOct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. However, it remains undetermined whether the reprogrammed iPS cells are fully pluripotent, resembling normal embryonic stem (ES) cells, given that no iPS cell lines have been shown to possess the capability to autonomously generate full-term mice after injection into tetraploid blastocysts. Here, we provide evidence demonstrating that iPS cells induced by the four transcription factors can be fully pluripotent and that full-term mice can be produced from complemented tetraploid blastocysts. This work serves as a proof of principle that iPS cells can generate full term embryos by tetraploid complementation. We compared the gene expression profile of iPS cell, ES cell and MEF. ES cell and MEF served as control for iPS cell. Three biological repeats were included for each line.

Project description:To further our understanding of the role of DNA methylation in development, Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) was used in conjunction with a NimbleGen promoter plus CpG island array to identify Tissue and Developmental Stage specific Differentially Methylated DNA Regions (T-DMRs and DS-DMRs) on a genome-wide basis. Four tissues (brain, heart, liver, and testis) from C57BL/6J mice were analyzed at three developmental stages (15 day embryo, E15; new born, NB; 12 week adult, AD). Almost 5,000 adult T-DMRs and 10,000 DS-DMRs were identified. Surprisingly, almost all DS-DMRs were tissue specific (i.e., methylated and ummenthylated in one or more non-overlapping tissues), indicating that the vast majority of unique sequence DNA methylation has tissue specificity. Also, many DS-DMRs were methylated at early development stages (E15 and NB) but unmethylated in adult, indicating “demethylation” has a prominent role in tissue differentiation. The pattern of DNA methylation in adult testis was dramatically different from somatic tissues in many aspects, mostly notably with a very strong bias of methylation in non-CpGi (CpG island) promoter regions (94%). Although the majority of T-DMRs and DS-DMRs tended to be in non-CpGi promoter regions, a relatively large number were also located in CpGi in promoter, intra-genic and inter-genic regions (>15% of all CpGi). Gene Ontology analysis of genes with methylation in non-CpGi promoters indicates enrichment of genes related to membrane proteins and G-protein coupled receptors. Our data also suggest regulatory roles of DNA methylation outside of promoter regions and in alternative promoter selection. Overall, our studies indicate that change in DNA methylation during development is a dynamic, widespread and tissue-specific process involving both DNA methylation and demethylation.

Project description:To increase our understanding of epigenetic patterns associated with aneuploidy we used constitutional trisomy 8 mosaicism as a model, enabling analyses of single cell clones, harboring either trisomy or disomy 8, from the same patient. We profiled gene and miRNA expression as well as genome-wide and promoter specific DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation patterns in trisomic and disomic fibroblasts, using microarrays and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation. comparison of trisomy 8 cells with disomic as well as reference fibroblasts
