Mutations in IDH1 are associated with DNA hypermethylation in glioblastomas

ABSTRACT: We compared the DNA methylation profiles of 26 glioblastomas harboring mutations in IDH1 with 36 glioblastomas without these mutations on the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. Genomic DNA from fresh frozen tumors was bisulfite converted with the Zymo Research EZ DNA Methylation kit, then hybridized to the Illumina HumanMethylation450 Beadchip

Project description:The outcome of patients with anaplastic gliomas varies considerably depending on histology and single molecular markers such as codeletion of 1p/19q and mutations of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene. Whether a molecularly-based classification of anaplastic gliomas based on large scale genomic or epigenomic analyses is superior to histopathology, may reflect distinct biological subtypes, predict outcome and guide therapy decisions had yet to be determined. Epigenome-wide DNA methylation analysis, which also allows for the detection of copy-number aberrations, was performed in a cohort of 228 patients with anaplastic gliomas (astrocytomas, oligoastrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas), including 115 patients of the NOA-04 trial. We further compared these tumors with a group of 55 glioblastomas. Unsupervised clustering demonstrated two main groups based on IDH mutation status: CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) positive (77.5%) or negative (22.5%). CIMP+ (IDH mutant) tumors showed a further separation based on copy-number status of chromosome arms 1p and 19q, but not based on histopathology. CIMP- (IDH wild type) tumors on the other hand showed hallmark copy-number alterations of glioblastomas. These tumors clustered together with CIMP- glioblastomas without forming separate groups based on WHO grade. There was no Tumor classification based on CIMP and 1p/19q status was significantly associated with survival allowing a better prediction of outcome than the current histopathological classification alone: Patients with CIMP+ tumors with 1p/19q codeletion had the best prognosis, followed by patients with CIMP+ but intact 1p/19q status. Patients with CIMP- anaplastic gliomas had the worst prognosis. Collectively, our data suggest that anaplastic gliomas can be grouped into three molecular subtypes with clear association to underlying biology and clinical outcome based on IDH and 1p/19q status. The data do not provide a molecular basis for the diagnosis of anaplastic oligoastrocytoma. We investigated a subset of 228 anaplastic gliomas using the Illumina 450k methylation array.

Project description:Data about the entire sperm DNA methylome are limited to two sperm donors whereas studies dealing with a greater number of subjects focused only on a few genes or were based on low resolution arrays. This implies that information about what we can consider as a normal sperm DNA methylome and whether it is stable among different normozoospermic individuals is still missing. The definition of the DNA methylation profile of normozoospermic men, the entity of inter-individual variability and the epigenetic characterization of quality-fractioned sperm subpopulations in the same subject (intra-individual variability) are relevant for a better understanding of pathological conditions. We addressed these questions by using the high resolution Infinium 450K methylation array and compared normal sperm DNA methylomes against somatic cells. Our study, based on the largest number of subjects (n = 8) ever considered for such a large number of CpGs (n = 487,517), provided clear evidence for i) a highly conserved DNA methylation profile among normozoospermic subjects; ii) a stable sperm DNA methylation pattern in different quality-fractioned sperm populations of the same individual. The latter finding is particularly relevant if we consider that different quality fractioned sperm subpopulations show differences in their structural features, metabolic and genomic profiles. We demonstrate, for the first time, that DNA methylation in normozoospermic men remains highly uniform regardless the quality of sperm subpopulations. In addition, our analysis provided both confirmatory and novel data concerning the sperm DNA methylome, including its peculiar features in respect to somatic and cancer cells. Our description about a highly polarized sperm DNA methylation profile, the clearly distinct genomic and functional organization of hypo- versus hypermethylated loci as well as the association of histone-enriched hypomethylated loci with embryonic development, which we now extended also to hypomethylated piRNAs-linked genes, provides solid basis for future basic and clinical research. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 26 normal sperm and 2 somatic cell samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2
