Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is usually incurable. Contrary to genetic mechanisms involved in PDAC pathogenesis, epigenetic alterations are ill defined. Here we determine the contribution of epigenetically silenced genes to the development of PDAC. METHODS: We investigated methylated DNAs from PDACs, chronic pancreatitis and normal pancreatic tissues using Methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation followed by microarray hybridization. Promoter methylation of selected genes was confirmed with the Epityper assay. Expression levels were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. WNK2 was further investigated in tissue microarrays, methylation analysis of early pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanINs), mouse models for PDAC and pancreatitis, re-expression studies after demethylation, and cell growth assays using WNK2 overexpression. RESULTS: A total of 3.8% of 27.800 interrogated CpG islands were hypermethylated in PDAC versus normal and chronic pancreatitis tissues. Hypermethylation was confirmed in 12 out of 13 selected islands and was associated with gene silencing in 4 of them. The most prominently hypermethylated gene, WNK2, was further investigated. Demethylation assays confirmed the link between methylation and expression. WNK2 hypermethylation was higher in pancreatic tumor cells than in surrounding inflamed tissues and was observed in PanIN lesions as well as in a PDAC mouse model. WNK2 mRNA and protein expression were lower in PDAC and chronic pancreatitis compared to normal tissues both in patients and mouse models. Overexpression of WNK2 led to a reduced cell growth and WNK2 expression in tissues correlated negatively with the expression of pERK1/2, a downstream target of WNK2 responsible for cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: WNK2 is downregulated by promoter hypermethylation early in PDAC pathogenesis and may support tumor cell growth via the ERK-MAPK pathway. 3 types of pancreatic tissue samples: 5 normals, 2 chronic pancreatitis, 7 tumors (PDAC)

Project description:To identify new markers for colorectal cancer we scrutinized the methylation status by methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation followed by global methylation profiling on a CpG island microarray, as altered expression could drive genomic and chromosomal instability observed in these tumors. We show for the first time hypermethylation of MMP9, DNMT3A, and LIG4 in CRC which was confirmed in two independent ethnic CRC patients groups. Hypermethylation of the LIG4 promoter is a new mechanism to control ligase IV expression. It may represent a new epigenetic marker for colorectal cancer independent of known markers.

Project description:MGMT promoter methylation status is currently the only established molecular prognosticator in IDH wild-type glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Therefore, we aimed to discover novel therapy-associated epigenetic biomarkers. After enrichment for hypermethylated fractions using methyl-CpG-immunoprecipitation (MCIp), we performed global DNA methylation profiling for 14 long-term (LTS; >36 months) and 15 short-term (STS; 6â??10 months) surviving GBM patients. Even after exclusion of the G-CIMP phenotype, we observed marked differences between the LTS and STS methylome. A total of 1,247 probes in 706 genes were hypermethylated in LTS and 463 probes in 305 genes were found to be hypermethylated in STS patients (p values < 0.05, log2 fold change ± 0.5). We identified 13 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) with a minimum of four differentially methylated probes per gene. Indeed, we were able to validate a subset of these DMRs through a second, independent method (MassARRAY) in our LTS/STS training set (ADCY1, GPC3, LOC283731/ISLR2). These DMRs were further assessed for their prognostic capability in an independent validation cohort (n = 62) of non-G-CIMP GBMs from the TCGA. Hypermethylation of multiple CpGs mapping to the promoter region of LOC283731 correlated with improved patient outcome (p < 0.03). The prognostic performance of LOC283731 promoter hypermethylation was confirmed in a third independent study cohort (n = 89), and was independent of gender, performance (KPS) and MGMT status (p < 0.0485, HR = 0.63). Intriguingly, the prediction was most pronounced in younger GBM patients (<60 years). In conclusion, we provide compelling evidence that promoter methylation status of this novel gene is a prognostic biomarker in IDH1 wild-type/non-G-CIMP GBMs. Global DNA methylation profiling in 14 long-term and 15 short-term surviving glioblastoma patients. DNA of 7 normal brain samples were pooled to create a control DNA for two-color analysis.

Project description:To globally define methylation-âproneâ and -âprotectedâ CpG islands in leukemia, we analyzed the methylation status of 23,000 CpG islands of the human genome in two acute leukemia cell lines as well as normal blood monocytes using our previously described methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp) technique (Gebhard et al. 2006; Schilling and Rehli 2007). This method enriches for highly CpG methylated DNA that can be directly applied to fluorescent labeling and oligonucleotide microarray hybridization without an additional amplification step. Keywords: MCIp-on-Chip; comparative genomic hybridization CpG-methylated genomic DNA was enriched using methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp). On each microarray, the enriched material from leukemia cell lines was compared to the enriched material from normal blood monocytes to identify aberrantly methylated regions. Three biological replicates were analysed for each cell line.

Project description:DNA methylation was assessed in genomic DNA obtained from the arcuate nucleus of heifers fed to gain body weight at high (HG, n = 4) and low (LG, n = 4) rates from 4.5 to 8.5 mo of age. A methyl-CpG binding domain-based (MBD) protein assay was performed to capture fragments of methylated DNA (methylated-enriched DNA). Input (total) and methylated-enriched DNA were labeled with two different dyes and co-hybridized to a custom-designed oligonucleotide array targeted to genes associated with nutritional inputs and the control of puberty. The ratio of the log2 (enriched/input) of the normalized intensities, were determined. Data was analyzed comparing values of HG versus LG heifers. Two nutritional schedules: HG (n=4 heifers) and LG (n=4 heifers); one array per heifer; methylated enriched DNA (enriched) and total DNA (input) co-hybridyzed into each array Methylated-enriched DNA obtained from a methyl-CpG binding domain-based (MBD) protein assay

Project description:Autism is currently considered a multigene disorder with epigenetic influences. To investigate the contribution of DNA methylation to autism spectrum disorders, we have recently completed large-scale methylation profiling by CpG island microarray analysis of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) derived from monozygotic twins discordant for diagnosis of autism and their nonautistic siblings. Methylation profiling revealed many candidate genes differentially methylated between discordant MZ twins as well as between both twins and nonautistic siblings. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially methylated genes demonstrated enrichment for high level functions including gene transcription, nervous system development, cell death/survival, and other biological processes implicated in autism. The methylation status of two of these candidate genes, BCL-2 and retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA), was further confirmed by bisulfite sequencing and methylation-specific PCR, respectively. Immunohistochemical analyses of tissue arrays containing slices of the cerebellum and frontal cortex of autistic and age- and sex-matched control subjects revealed decreased expression of RORA and BCL-2 proteins in the autistic brain. Our data thus confirm the role of epigenetic regulation of gene expression via differential DNA methylation in idiopathic autism, and furthermore link molecular changes in a peripheral cell model with brain pathobiology in autism. Global methylation profiling was performed on lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from three pairs of male monozygotic twins discordant for diagnosis of autism as determined by the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). As controls, cell lines derived from non-autistic siblings of two pairs of twins were also included in the analyses, in addition to cell lines derived from a set of monozygotic twins unaffected by autism. For all paired analyses, a direct comparison was performed in which the methylation-enriched fractions from two individuals were pooled and hybridized onto the same microarray. In addition, indirect comparisons were performed by co-hybridizing the methylation-enriched (MIRA) fraction with the respective unenriched DNA fraction obtained from the same individual. For each paired analysis (between autistic MZ twins and/or between autistic co-twin and unaffected sibling), a total number of 4 replicates were performed, including direct and indirect comparisons.
