Project description:Genomewide DNA methylation profiles, generated by MeDIP-seq, for 8.5dpc wildtype and Dnmt3l-/+ mouse embryos were compared to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that depend on the activity of the de novo DNA methyltransferase cofactor Dnmt3l in the oocyte. These DMRs were further characterised by their methylation state in mature mouse sperm and in the livers of inter-subspecies newborn mice. Maternal ICRs were identified by hypomethylation in Dnmt3l-/+ embryos as well as sperm, and maternal allele-specific methylation in liver. MeDIP-seq for two pools of wildtype and two pools of Dnmt3l-/+ mouse 8.5dpc embryos, the sperm of three sires, and 12 pools of three different embryonic livers each. Sliding window read count comparison between wildtype and Dnmt3l-/+ embryos, and between wildtype embryos and sperm samples. Read count comparison between the parental alleles at known SNP sites in inter-subspecies liver data.

Project description:Maternal 5-HT1A-receptor (R) is required for the timely development of the hippocampus and the establishment of emotional behaviors in Swiss-Webster (SW) mice. A partial and/or complete loss of maternal 5-HT1AR results in delayed ventral dentate granule cell (v-DGC) development and subsequent anxiety-like phenotype in the wild-type offspring by a non-genetic, presumably epigenetic mechanism. Here we tested v-DGCs for genome-wide DNA methylation changes elicited by the receptor deficient maternal environment. We identified a set of hypomethylated regions in the offspring of receptor deficient mothers. A significant fraction of these maternal-differentially methylated regions (m-DMRs) mapped to strong CpG islands, sequences that are typically not methylated or if methylated, resistant to environmental-induced changes. Many m-DMRs mapped to exons and some were associated with expression changes. Their hypomethylation was due to an arrest in de novo methylation and, to a lesser extent, to demethylation during postnatal life indicating that the perturbation in methylation coincides with the developmental delay in DGC maturation in the offspring of receptor deficient mothers. Inhibiting methylation in differentiating neurons impaired their maturation further suggesting a link between de novo methylation and neuronal differentiation. These data suggest that methylation at specific exonic CpG-islands may contribute to the mechanism through which maternal 5-HT1AR modulates hippocampal development and consecutively the level of anxiety in the SW offspring. Reduced 5-HT1AR-binding has been reported in individuals, particularly in association with anxiety/depression, including peri/postpartum depression. Therefore, maternal receptor deficit may contribute, via a non-genetic mechanism, to the high prevalence and heritability of anxiety disorders in human. Examined 4 samples: 5HT1A wild type offspring with 5HT1A wild type/heterozygous mother or 5HT1A KO offspring with 5HT1A of heterozygous/knock out mother

Project description:Metastasis is the major cause of death in cancer patients, yet the genetic/epigenetic programs that drive metastasis are poorly understood. Here, we report a novel epigenetic reprogramming pathway that is required for breast cancer metastasis. Concerted differential DNA methylation is initiated by activation of the RON receptor tyrosine kinase by its ligand, macrophage stimulating protein (MSP). Through PI3K signaling, RON/MSP promotes expression of the G:T mismatch-specific thymine glycosylase MBD4. RON/MSP and MBD4-dependent aberrant DNA methylation results in misregulation of a specific set of genes. Knockdown of MBD4 reverses methylation at these specific loci, and blocks metastasis. We also show that the MBD4 glycosylase catalytic residue is required for RON/MSP-driven metastasis. Analysis of human breast cancers using a set of specific genes that are regulated by RON/MSP through MBD4-directed aberrant DNA methylation revealed that this epigenetic program is significantly associated with poor clinical outcome. Furthermore, inhibition of Ron kinase activity with a new pharmacological agent prevents activation of the RON/MBD4 pathway and blocks metastasis of patient-derived breast tumor grafts in vivo. Examination of 3 cell types.

Project description:PKR (Protein Kinase RNA-activated) is activated by metabolic stress, such as that associated with obesity, and this activation depends on its RNA-binding domain. Here we investigated whether endogenous RNA triggers PKR activation in response to lipid exposure. Our results indicate that snoRNAs (small nucleolar RNAs) associate with PKR during metabolic stress. Our high-throughput sequence shows that snoRNAs are enriched in PKR_WT samples after palmitic acid treatment compared to mock-treated samples. MEF cells reconstituted with wild type PKR (PKR_WT) or PKR with a mutation in each dsRBM (PKR_RM) were mock- or palmitate-treated. RNAs associated with PKR were immunoprecipitated. IPed RNAs were extracted, cloned and sequenced. We performed differential expression to obtain RNAs enriched in PKRWT after palmitate treatment. We sequenced three different datasets of samples (A, B and C). Each A and B dataset contains three biological replicates. Dataset C contains a single sample.

Project description:We report high resolution transcriptome-wide RNA cytosine methylome of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) revealed by an optimized new RNA bisulfite sequencing approach. Comparison of RNA methylation profile from wild-type and Dnmt2 -/- MEFs shows that only C38 in three tRNAs (tRNA-Asp, Gly and Val) is the target of Dnmt2 in MEFs at normal conditions. Harvested MEFs, from 13.5 isogenic (wt or Dnmt2-/-) embryos, were subjected to total RNA isolation and DNase treatment. Small RNA fraction was separated using mirVana kit (Ambion). Large RNA fraction was prepared by ribosomal RNA depletion using RiboMinus™ Transcriptome Isolation Kit (Invitrogen) followed by RNA fragmentation using RNA Fragmentation Reagent (Ambion). Each one of the fractions (small or large) from each one of the samples (wt or Dnmt2-/-) were split into two: one for direct RNA sequencing and one for RNA bisulfite sequencing. For bisulfite treatment, small and large RNA fractions of each sample (wt or Dnmt2-/-) were separately subjected to bisulfite treatment. Total of 8 samples (bisulfite treated and untreated of small and large RNA fractions of wt or Dnmt2-/-) were separately subjected to library preparation with Illumina’s directional mRNA-Seq sample preparation protocol followed by 101 cycle single-end high-throughput sequencing using Illumina’s HiSeq 2000 sequencing system.

Project description:Memory T cells are primed for rapid responses to antigen; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for priming remain incompletely defined. CpG methylation in promoters is an epigenetic modification, which regulates gene transcription. Using targeted bisulfite sequencing, we examined methylation of 2100 genes (56,000 CpG) mapped by deep sequencing to T cell activation in human naïve and memory CD4 T cells. 466 CpGs (132 genes) displayed differential methylation between naïve and memory cells. 21 genes exhibited both differential methylation and gene expression before activation, linking promoter DNA methylation states to gene regulation; 6 genes encode proteins closely studied in T cells while 15 genes represent novel targets for further study. 39 genes exhibited reduced methylation in memory cells coupled with increased gene expression with activation compared to naïve cells, revealing specific genes more rapidly expressed in memory compared to naïve cells and potentially regulated by DNA methylation. These findings define a DNA methylation signature unique to memory CD4 T cells and correlated with activation-induced gene expression. Targeted bisulfite sequencing of primary human naïve and memory CD4 T cells at rest and 48 hours post-activation.
