Inactive or moderately active human promoters are enriched for inter-individual epialleles [Methylation BeadChip]

ABSTRACT: We first demonstrate that non-genetically determined inter-individual differentially methylated regions (iiDMRs) can be temporally stable for at least two years. Then, we show that iiDMRS are associated with concomitant changes in chromatin state as measured by inter-individual differences in the levels of the histone variant H2A.Z. However, the correlation of promoter iiDMRs with gene expression is negligible and this correlation is not improved even by integrating H2A.Z information. We find that most promoter epialleles, whether genetically or non-genetically determined, are associated with low levels of transcriptional activity, depleted for house keeping genes, and either depleted for H3K4me3/enriched for H3K27me3, or lacking both these marks in human embryonic stem cells. These findings validate in an independent cohort. Interestingly, the key features of iiDMRs are reminiscent of those previously observed for promoters that undergo hyper-methylation in various cancers, in vitro cell culture, and human chronological ageing. DNA Methylation, H2A.z ChIP-seq, RNA-seq (submitted) separately were collected for five normal individuals (samples with "T" prefixes). T21/T22 and T31/T32 are monozygotic twins. Further DNA methylation data was collected from and additional two pairs of MZ twins with technical replication (samples with "C" prefixes - the three digits are pair number, individual number, and replicate number). Bisulphite converted DNA was hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

DNA methylome profiling of blood to identify individuals in a pair of monozygotic twins

Project description:Short tandem repeat (STR) markers cannot be used to distinguish between genetically identical monozygotic (MZ) twins, causing problems in a case with an MZ twin as a suspect. Many studies have shown that in older MZ twins, there are significant differences in overall content and genomic distribution of methylation

Genomic maps of homotypic H2Av, heterotypic H2Av, input and 80mM salt soluble chromatin from Drosophila S2 cells

Project description:Nucleosomes that contain the histone variant H2A.Z are enriched around transcriptional start sites in many organisms. A single octameric nucleosome can contain two H2A.Z histones (homotypic) or one H2A.Z and one canonical H2A (heterotype). We generated high-resolution maps of homotypic and heterotypic Drosophila H2A.Z (H2Av) nucleosomes. Although homotypic and heterotypic H2Av nucleosomes map throughout most of the genome, homotypic nucleosomes are enriched and heterotypic nucleosomes are depleted downstream of active promoters and intron/exon boundaries. The distribution of homotypic H2A.Z nucleosomes resembles that of salt-soluble nucleosomes and shows evidence of displacement during transcriptional elongation. Homotypic nucleosomes are also depleted downstream of paused polymerases, where salt-soluble nucleosomes are conspicuously depleted. Our results suggest a model whereby H2A.Z enrichment patterns result from different structural interactions within the core of heterotypic and homotypic nucleosomes following disruption during transcriptional elongation. We analyzed two replicates for input, heterotypic and homotypic purifications. We sequenced one library for each of the single H2Av pulldown and 80mM salt soluble samples.

H2A.Z Mapping During G0/G1 and Mitosis

Project description:We report genome wide mapping of the histone variant H2A.Z during G0/G1 and mitosis in T24 bladder cancer cells. The results show that the broad enrichment pattern of H2A.Z near transcription start sites of active genes is maintained during mitosis. Furthermore, using H2A.Z localization to visualize nucleosome positioning near the start site, we see that the +1 nucleosome of active genes shifts upstream to occupy the transcription start sites during mitosis and the nucleosome depleted region is shortened. H2A.Z is also maintained on the -2 nucleosome which also shifts towrds the transcription start site during mitosis, further contributing to the shorteneing of the nucleosome depleted region.

Changes in the Pattern of DNA Methylation Associate with Twin Discordance in SLE

Project description:This is the first high-throughput analysis of DNA methylation in autoimmune diseases. We have used a cohort of MZ twins discordant for three diseases whose clinical signs often overlap: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis. Only MZ twins discordant for SLE featured widespread changes in the DNA methylation status of a significant number of genes. Individual analysis confirmed the existence of DNA methylation and expression changes in genes relevant to SLE pathogenesis. Our findings not only identify potentially relevant DNA methylation markers for the clinical characterization of SLE patients but also support the notion that epigenetic changes may be critical in the clinical manifestations of autoimmune disease.

Histone H2A.Z and DNA methylation are mutually antagonistic chromatin marks

Project description:Eukaryotic chromatin is separated into functional domains differentiated by posttranslational histone modifications, histone variants, and DNA methylation. Methylation is associated with repression of transcriptional initiation in plants and animals, and is frequently found in transposable elements. Proper methylation patterns are critical for eukaryotic development, and aberrant methylation-induced silencing of tumor suppressor genes is a common feature of human cancer. In contrast to methylation, the histone variant H2A.Z is preferentially deposited by the Swr1 ATPase complex near 5' ends of genes where it promotes transcriptional competence. How DNA methylation and H2A.Z influence transcription remains largely unknown. Here we show that in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, regions of DNA methylation are quantitatively deficient in H2A.Z. Exclusion of H2A.Z is seen at sites of DNA methylation in the bodies of actively transcribed genes and in methylated transposons. Mutation of the MET1 DNA methyltransferase, which causes both losses and gains of DNA methylation, engenders opposite changes in H2A.Z deposition, while mutation of the PIE1 subunit of the Swr1 complex that deposits H2A.Z17 leads to genome-wide hypermethylation. Our findings indicate that DNA methylation can influence chromatin structure and effect gene silencing by excluding H2A.Z, and that H2A.Z protects genes from DNA methylation. Keywords: Affinity-purification on microarray All experiments were done using two channels per chip. DNA methylation experiments compared immunoprecipitated, methylated DNA to control genomic DNA. H2A.Z experiments compared whole micrococcal nuclease-treated affinity-purified chromatin to input chromatin used for affinity purification. Affinity purification was performed using either biotin-tagged H2A.Z, pulled down using streptavidin, or endogenous H2A.Z pulled down using an anti-H2A.Z antibody.
