Project description:Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) accumulates at promoters in a gene activity dependant manner. The Set1 complex is responsible for most H3K4me3 in somatic cells and contains the conserved subunit Cfp1, which is implicated in targeting the Set1 complex to CpG islands in mammals. In mouse embryonic stem cells, Cfp1 is necessary for H3K4me3 accumulation at constitutively active gene promoters, but is not required to maintain steady-state transcription of the associated gene. Here we show that Cfp1 is instrumental for targeting H3K4me3 at promoters upon rapid transcriptional induction in response to external stimuli. Surprisingly, H3K4me3 accumulation is not required to ensure appropriate transcriptional output but rather plays gene specific roles. We also show that Cfp1 dependant H3K4me3 deposition contributes to H3K9 acetylation genome wide; suggesting that Cfp1 dependant H3K4me3 regulates overall H3K9 acetylation dynamics and is necessary for histone acetyl transferase recruitment. Finally, we observe increased antisense transcription at start and end of genes that requires Cfp1 for accurate H3K4me3 and H3K9ac deposition. Our results assign a key role for Cfp1 in establishing a complex active promoter chromatin state and shed light on how chromatin signalling pathways provide context dependant outcomes. wt (wtES) or Cfp1-/- (Cfp1null) ES cells were treated or not with doxorubicin (Dox) at 1uM for 6h. H3K4me3 (2 replicates) and H3K9,K14ac (H3ac, 1 replicate) occupancy was analyzed in each condition by ChIP-Seq. Input DNA for each cell line was alos sequenced alongside.

Project description:Genome wide analysis revealed that distal regulatory elements form Low Methylated Regions (LMRs). Even though transcription factor binding is required for LMR formation, we show for the test case CTCF that actual occupancy does not distinguish DNA methylation states. However, in line with a dynamic model of binding and DNA methylation turnover, we find that the product of active demethylation, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), is enriched at LMRs. 5hmC is present at active regulatory regions in stem and somatic cells and as a result a substantial fraction of changes in 5hmC occurs at LMRs. This suggests that transcription factor binding mediates active turnover of DNA methylation as an integral part of reprogramming of regulatory regions.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) direct CD4+ T cell differentiation into distinct T helper (Th) subsets that are vital for protection against diverse types of infection. However, the mechanisms employed by DCs to initiate Th2 responses, which are important for immunity to helminth infection as well as being a major contributor to allergic disease, remain poorly understood. We demonstrate a key role for methyl-CpG-binding domain-2 (Mbd2), a protein that links DNA methylation to repressive chromatin structure, in regulating expression of a range of genes that are associated with optimal DC activation and function. In the absence of Mbd2, DCs displayed reduced phenotypic activation and a dramatically impaired ability to promote Th2 immunity against either helminths or allergens, while their induction of Th1/17 responses remained intact. These data reveal a novel epigenetic mechanism that is integral to DC promotion of CD4+ T cell responses, particularly in Th2 settings, and identify methyl-CpG-binding proteins and the genes that they control as potential therapeutic targets for type-2 inflammation. H3K9,K14ac (H3ac) occupancy was analysed by ChIP-Seq for control (wt) or Mbd2 -/- (DEL) dendritic cells (DC). Input DNA for each cell line was also sequenced alongside.

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:We applied in parallel RNA-Seq and Ribosome-profiling analyses to immortalized human primary BJ fibroblast cells under the following conditions: normal proliferation, quiescence (induced by serum depletion), senescence (induced by activation of the oncogenic RASG12V gene, and examined at early (5 days; pre-senescent state) and late (14 days; fully senescent state) time points), and neoplastic transformation (induced by RASG12V in the background of stable p53 and p16INK4A knockdowns and SV40 small-T expression.

Project description:The histone variant macroH2A1 and the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP-1 both regulate gene transcription by modulating chromatin structure and function. Of the two macroH2A1 splice variants, macroH2A1.1 and macroH2A1.2, the former is often suppressed in cancer and has the unique ability to interact with poly(ADP-ribose). Using ChIP-seq in primary lung fibroblasts, we demonstrate that macroH2A1 is incorporated into either of two spatially and functionally distinct types of chromatin; the first is marked by H3 K27 trimethylation, while the second contains a set of nine histone acetylations. MacroH2A1-regulated genes are involved in cancer progression are specifically found in macroH2A1-containing acetylated chromatin. Through the recruitment of PARP-1, macroH2A1.1 promotes the acetylation of H2B K12 and K120 which plays a key role in the regulation of macroH2A1 target genes in primary cells. The macroH2A1/PARP-1 pathway regulating H2B K12 and K120 acetylation is disrupted in cancer cells, in part, explaining macroH2A1M-bM-^@M-^Ys role in cancer suppression. Two biological replicates of the macroH2A1 ChIP and two corresponding input samples were sequenced

Project description:OBJECTIVE: MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs), a class of small non-coding RNA molecules, are posttranscriptional regulators involved in a plethora of cellular functions and have been proposed as potential therapeutic targets in various diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we sought to discover novel miR associations in synovial fibroblasts (SFs), a key cell type mediating RA pathogenesis, by performing miR expression profiling on cells isolated from the human TNF transgenic mouse model (TghuTNF or Tg197). METHODS: miR expression in SFs isolated from 8-week-old, fully diseased TghuTNF and WT littermate control mice were determined by deep sequencing of small RNAs and the arthritic profile was established by pairwise comparisons of the two groups. qRT-PCR analysis was utilised for profile validation purposes and miR quantitation in patient SFs. Dysregulated miR target genes and pathways were predicted via bioinformatic algorithms.
