Genome-scale epigenetic reprogramming during epithelial to mesenchymal transition

ABSTRACT: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an extreme example of cell plasticity, important for normal development, injury repair, and malignant progression. Widespread epigenetic reprogramming occurs during stem cell differentiation and malignant transformation, but EMT-related epigenetic reprogramming is poorly understood. Here we investigated epigenetic modifications during TGF-β-mediated EMT. While DNA methylation was unchanged during EMT, we found global reduction of the heterochromatin mark H3-lys9 dimethylation (H3K9Me2), increase of the euchromatin mark H3-lys4 trimethylation (H3K4Me3), and increase of the transcriptional mark H3-lys36 trimethylation (H3K36Me3). These changes were largely dependent on lysine-specific deaminase-1 (LSD1), and LSD1 loss-of-function experiments showed marked effects on EMT-driven cell migration and chemoresistance. Genome-scale mapping revealed that chromatin changes were largely specific to large organized heterochromatin K9-modifications (LOCKs), suggesting that EMT is characterized by reprogramming of specific chromatin domains across the genome. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed with antibodies against H3K9Me2 (Abcam, ab1220), H3K36Me3 (ab9050), and H3K4Me3 (ab8580) on native (unfixed) chromatin isolated from fully differentiated mouse AML12 cells (confluent, serum starved for 48hrs) either treated with TGF-β for 36hrs to induce EMT or not treated with TGF-β (0hrs, differentiated AML12 cells). DNA purified from these samples was then either whole-genome amplified (H3K36Me3 and H3K4Me3) and hybridized or directly (H3K9Me2) hybridized to NimbleGen 2.1M economy whole-genome tiling arrays #2 (listed below as array 1) and #3 (listed below as array 2), which cover mouse chromosomes 4-14. For each sample, the immunoprecipitated DNA (IP) and the input (control) DNA were hybridized to the arrays, and the IP is normalized to the input. There are 16 total samples listed below. There are 8 sample for H3K9Me2 (TGF-β and no TGF-β for arrays 1 and 2, done in replicate for a total of 8). There are 4 samples for H3K36Me3 (TGF-β and no TGF-β done on array 1 and array 2). There are 4 total samples for H3K4Me3 (TGF-β and no TGF-β done on array 1 and array 2).

Project description:The centromere is defined by the presence of a centromere-specific histone H3 variant, CENH3. Establishment and maintenance of the centromeric chromatin (CEN chromatin) is determined by poorly understood epigenetic mechanisms. Interestingly, CEN chromatin in several eukaryotes showed euchromatic characteristics although being embedded within pericentromeric heterochromatin. Specifically, H3K4me2 appeared to be a unique histone modification mark associated with animal centromeres. We developed a genomic tiling array for four fully sequenced rice centromeres. A ChIP-chip approach was used to study the patterns of several euchromatic histone modification marks, including H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, and H3K4K9a, associated with rice centromeres. We demonstrate that the CENH3 subdomains within the four centromeres are depleted with the four histone H3 marks. The vast majority of the four histone marks were associated with the genes located in the H3 subdomains within the centromeric cores. Genes in the centromeres showed similar histone modification patterns as those located outside of the centromeres. Thus, the euchromatic characteristics of rice CEN chromatin are trademarks of the transcribed sequences embedded in the H3 subdomains of the centromeres. We propose that the constitutively expressed genes located in rice centromeres may provide a barrier for loading of CENH3 into the H3 subdomains. The separation of CENH3 into the H3 subdomains is favorable for the three dimensional structure and its associated function of rice centromeres. We developed a genomic tiling array that covers four rice centromeres (Cen4, Cen5, Cen7, and Cen8) using the NimbleGen 3x720K array based on the NimbleGen HD2 platform. We used four antibodies (H3K4me3, H3K4me2, H3K36me3, H3K4K9ac) to perform ChIP-chip experiments. ChIP was conducted using leaf tissue from two-week old rice seedlings. We have 3 biological replicates for each antibody and 6 technological replicates of hybridization with position exchange on the array. Thus, each histone modification included 18 hybridization experiments.
