ABSTRACT: H3K79me2 ChIP-seq in mouse proximal intestinal Lgr5(hi) stem cells and villus cells Examination of H3K79me2 modifications between Lgr5(hi) stem cells and differentiated villus cells
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE41541: Expression data from mouse proximal intestinal epithelial Lgr5(hi) stem cells and differentiated villus cells (enterocytes from Atoh1 conditional knockout) GSE41542: H3K79me2 ChIP-seq in mouse proximal intestinal Lgr5(hi) stem cells and villus cells GSE41710: Global gene expression analysis of Dot1l-deficient and control intestinal villus cells in mouse Refer to individual Series
Project description:Methylation of H3K79 is associated with chromatin at expressed genes, though it is unclear if this histone modification is required for transcription of all genes. Recent studies suggest that Wnt-responsive genes depend particularly on H3K79 methylation, which is catalyzed by the methyltransferase DOT1L. Human leukemias carrying MLL gene rearrangements show DOT1L-mediated H3K79 methylation and aberrant expression of leukemogenic genes. DOT1L inhibitors reverse these effects but their clinical use is potentially limited by toxicity in Wnt-dependent tissues such as intestinal epithelium. Genome-wide positioning of the H3K79me2 mark in Lgr5+ mouse intestinal stem cells and mature intestinal villus epithelium correlated with mRNA expression levels but not with Wnt-responsive genes per se. Selective Dot1l disruption in Lgr5+ stem cells or in all intestinal epithelial cells eliminated H3K79me2 from the respective compartments, allowing genetic evaluation of DOT1L requirements. Absence of methylated H3K79 did not impair health, intestinal homeostasis or expression of Wnt target genes in crypt epithelium for up to 4 months, despite increased crypt cell apoptosis. Global transcript profiles in Dot1l-null cells were barely altered. Thus, H3K79 methylation is not essential for transcription of Wnt-responsive or other intestinal genes and intestinal toxicity is not imperative when DOT1L is rendered inactive in vivo. Examination of differential gene expression between Dot1l control (Dot1 f/f) and Dot1l mutant (Villin-Cre, Dot1l f/f) villus cells.
Project description:We investigated genome-wide analysis of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) distribution in mouse intestinal stem and differentiated cells using hydroxyMethylated DNA immunoprecipitation (hMeDIP) followed by sequencing. Genomic DNA from mouse intestinal stem (Lgr5+) and villus differentiated cells were sonicated, immunoprecipitated by a 5hmC antibody, and sequenced in order to identify differential hydroxymethylated regions and genes.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the differentail gene expression between intestinal Lgr5(hi) stem cells and differentiated cells Assay the differential gene expression using total RNA from flow cytometry sorted Lgr5(hi) cells and EDTA isolated enterocytes from Atoh1 conditional knockout
Project description:We conditionally inactivated mouse Cdx2, a dominant regulator of intestinal development, and mapped its genome occupancy in adult intestinal villi. Although homeotic transformation, observed in Cdx2-null embryos, was absent in mutant adults, gene expression and cell morphology were vitally compromised. Lethality was accelerated in mice lacking both Cdx2 and its homolog Cdx1, with exaggeration of defects in crypt cell replication and enterocyte differentiation. Cdx2 occupancy correlated with hundreds of transcripts that fell but not with equal numbers that rose with Cdx loss, indicating a predominantly activating role at intestinal cis-regulatory regions. Integrated consideration of a mutant phenotype and cistrome hence reveals the continued and distinct requirement in adults of a master developmental regulator that activates tissue-specific genes.

Project description:H3K79 dimethylation is a mark of transcriptional elongation. To gain insight into the set of genes actively transcribed in MEFs, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed to determine the presence of H3K79me2 across the genome. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. ChIP was performed using an antibody against H3K79me2.
Project description:H3K27me3 is a chromatin modification depositied by Suz12, a component of the Polycomb Group 2 complex, and is associated with transcriptional repression. In contrast, H3K79me2 is a chromatin modification associated with active gene transcription. It is deposited by the histone methyltransferase Dot1L and generally is localized just downstream of the transcriptional start site and extends down the body of the gene. To gain insight into the transcriptional state of genes in hES cells, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed to determine the genome-wide occupancy of the H3K27me3 and H3K79me2 chromatin modifications and genome-wide occupancy of the Suz12. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing A sample of whole cell extract was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed using an antibody against H3K27me3, H3K79me2, and Suz12 (Abcam).
