Chromosome wide analysis of parental allele specific chromatin and DNA methylation

ABSTRACT: Imprinted genes are monoallelically expressed according to parental inheritance. The maternally and paternally expressed alleles are distinguished epigenetically by DNA methylation and histone modifications. RNA was extracted from MatDup.dist7 and PatDup.dist7 MEFs for hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays Comparsion of gene expression in MatDup.dist7 and PatDup.dist7 MEFs

To reveal the extent of domain-wide epigenetic features at imprinted gene clusters, we performed a high-resolution allele-specific chromatin analysis of over 100 megabases along the maternally or paternally duplicated distal chromosome 7 (Chr7) and Chr15 in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). We found that reciprocal allele-specific features are limited to imprinted genes and their differentially methylated regions (DMRs), whereas broad local enrichment of H3K27me3 (BLOC) is a domain-wide feature a ...[more]

Project description:This is one of expressional parts of the study. These data were correlated to epigenetic marks and CG density of genes in analyzed cells. The whole study has a following summary: To elucidate possible roles of DNA methylation and chromatin marks in transcription, we performed epigenetic profiling of chromosome 19 in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) and in the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116 as well as its counterpart with double knockout of DNMT1 and DNMT3B (HCT116-DKO). We found that H3K9me3 forms intragenic chromatin blocks along genes with low CpG density in the gene body. Analysis of H3K36me3 profiles indicated that this mark associates either with active genes with low CpG density and H3K9me3 in the gene body or with active genes with high CpG density and DNA hypermethylation in the gene body. In HCT116 cells with double knockout of DNMT1 and DNMT3B, transcription of genes with low CpG density in the gene body was highly elevated and associated with promoter DNA demethylation and rearrangement of H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 occupation. Our finding suggests that similar to DNA methylation, H3K9me3 may play a role in intragenic gene regulation. Further, we observed that a combination of low CpG density in gene bodies together with H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 marking is a specific epigenetic feature of zinc finger (ZNF) genes, which comprise 90% of all genes carrying both histone marks on chromosome 19. For high CpG density genes, transcription and H3K36me3 occupancy were not changed in condition of partial or intensive loss of DNA methylation in gene bodies in the HCT116-DKO cell line. siRNA experiments with SETD2 knockdown in both HBEC and HCT116-DKO cell lines failed to reduce DNA methylation in gene bodies under conditions of H3K36me3 depletion. Our study suggests that the H3K36me3 and DNA methylation marks in gene bodies are established independently from each other and points to similar functional roles of intragenic DNA methylation and intragenic H3K9me3 for CpG-rich and CpG-poor genes, respectively. Expression profile of human bronchial epithelia cells (HBEC) immortalized with hTERT and CDK4. To elucidate possible roles of DNA methylation and chromatin marks in transcription, we performed epigenetic profiling of chromosome 19 in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) and analyzed gene expression by Affymetrix expression arrays in these cells. This is the expressional part of study.

Project description:Both genetic and environmental factors are implicated in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Since environmental factors can trigger epigenetic changes, we hypothesized that variations in histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) at the promoter/enhancer regions of T1D susceptible genes may be associated with T1D. We therefore evaluated histone PTM variations at known T1D susceptible genes in blood cells from T1D patients versus healthy non-diabetic controls, and explored their connections to T1D. We used the chromatin-immunoprecipitation-linked-to-microarray approach to profile key histone PTMs, including H3-lysine-4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K9 acetylation (H3K9Ac) and H4K16Ac at genes within the T1D susceptible loci in lymphocytes, and H3K4me3, H3K9me2, H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac at the IDDM1 region in monocytes of T1D patients and healthy controls separately. We screened for potential variations in histone PTMs using computational methods to compare datasets from T1D and controls. Interestingly, we observed marked variations in H3K9Ac levels at the upstream regions of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 within the IDDM1 locus in T1D monocytes relative to controls. Additional experiments with THP-1 monocytes demonstrated increased expression of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 in response to interferon- and TNF-treatment that were accompanied by changes in H3K9Ac at the same promoter regions as that seen in the patient monocytes. These results suggest that the H3K9Ac status of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1, two genes highly associated with T1D, may be relevant to their regulation and transcriptional response towards external stimuli. Thus, the promoter/enhancer architecture and chromatin status of key susceptible loci could be important determinants in their functional association to T1D susceptibility. We used microarrays to obtain global gene expression data in human lymphocytes. Human lymphocytes were prepared from four healthy non-diabetic volunteers. Total RNAs were extracted using Qiagen RNeasy mini kits following the manufacturer's instructions. Biotinylated single-strand cDNA was generated and subjected to expression profiling with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays, followed by data analyses and conversion into expression measurements using Affymetrix's Expression Console v1.1.1. The data set is used for integration with ChIP array data.
