Expression data from the Arabidopsis with freezing treatment following the inhibitors of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation

ABSTRACT: To understand the roles of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation in plant gene network that controls plant tolerance to freezing treatment, we used Affymetrix GeneChips ATH-121501 to analysis. For microarray analysis, Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia) seedlings grew in four types of sterile growth medium: no any other modifying agents, added 7g/ml 0.5 M aza-dC in water (DNA methylation inhibitor), added TSA in methanol (histone deacetylation inhibitor), both aza-dC and TSA, all for 16 day in growth chamber (16-h day length at 70% relative humidity, 23 M-BM-0C) , then all seedlings were cold treated at 0 M-BM-0C for 24 h in growth chamber (16-h day length at 70% relative humidity). A total of 3305 genes expression were statistically analysized. Our study provides some clues that the transcript levels of some cold-responsive genes regulated by DNA methylation and histone deacetylation. This will be valuable for understanding gene regulation by epigenetic modifications under freezing stress. Keywords: Cold Stress response, DNA methylation, histone deacetylation Three replicates for aza-dc and TSA treatment, and two replicates for Mock and both aza-dc and TSA treatment. All samples were treated 0M-BM-0C 24h.

Project description:Expression profiling the response to inhibition of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation. Comparison of expression in HepG2 cells treated with 5-aza-dC, Trichostatin A, both, or none (control) to change methylation and acetylation status. Backgroubd: DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are epigenetic mechanisms that play major roles in eukaryotic gene regulation. We hypothesize that many genes in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 are regulated by DNA methylation and histone deacetylation. Treatment with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) to inhibit DNA methylation with and/or Trichostatin A (TSA) to inhibit histone deacetylation should allow us to identify genes that are regulated epigenetically in hepatoma cells. RESULTS: 5-aza-dC had a much larger effect on gene expression in HepG2 cells than did TSA, as measured using Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays. The expression of 1504 probe sets was affected by 5-aza-dC (at p < 0.01), 535 probe sets by TSA, and 1929 probe sets by the combination of 5-aza-dC and TSA. 5-aza-dC treatment turned on the expression of 211 probe sets that were not detectably expressed in its absence. Expression of imprinted genes regulated by DNA methylation, such as H19 and NNAT, was turned on or greatly increased in response to 5-aza-dC. Genes involved in liver processes such as xenobiotic metabolism (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7) and steroid biosynthesis (CYP17A1 and CYP19A1), and genes encoding CCAAT element-binding proteins (C/EBPalpha, C/EBPbeta, and C/EBPgamma) were affected by 5-aza-dC or the combination. Many of the genes that fall within these groups are also expressed in the developing fetal liver and adult liver. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR assays confirmed selected gene expression changes seen in microarray analyses. CONCLUSION: Epigenetics play a role in regulating the expression of several genes involved in essential liver processes such as xenobiotic metabolism and steroid biosynthesis in HepG2 cells. Many genes whose expression is normally silenced in these hepatoma cells were re-expressed by 5-aza-dC treatment. DNA methylation may be a factor in restricting the expression of fetal genes during liver development and in shutting down expression in hepatoma cells

Genes involved in liver processes such as xenobiotic metabolism (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7) and steroid biosynthesis (CYP17A1 and CYP19A1), and CCAAT element-binding proteins (CEBPA, CEBPB, and CEBPG) were affected by 5-aza-dC or the combination. Many of the genes that fall within these groups are also expressed in the developing fetal liver. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR assays confirmed selected gene expression changes seen in microarray analyses. Conclusions:Epigenetics play a role in regulating the expression of several genes involved in essential liver processes such as xenobiotic metabolism and steroid biosynthesis in HepG2 cells. Many genes whose expression is normally silenced in these hepatoma cells were re-expressed by 5-aza-dC treatment. Many genes that are expressed in the fetal liver are up-regulated by demethylation, indicating that DNA methylation is a major factor in restricting the expression of fetal genes during liver development.

Project description:Epigenetic changes largely contribute to the regulation of gene expression in cancer cells. DNA methylation is part of the epigenetic gene regulation complex which is relevant for the pathogenesis of cancer. We performed a genome-wide search for methylated CpG islands in tumors and corresponding non-malignant lung tissue samples of 101 stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients by combining methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and microarray analysis using NimbleGenM-BM-4s 385K Human CpG Island plus Promoter arrays. By testing for differences in methylation between tumors and corresponding non-malignant lung tissues, we identified 298 tumor-specifically methylated genes. From many of these genes epigenetic regulation was unknown so far. Gene Ontology analysis revealed an over-representation of genes involved in regulation of gene expression and cell adhesion. Expression of 182 of 298 genes was found to be upregulated after 5-aza-2M-BM-4-deoxycytidine (Aza-dC) and/or trichostatin A (TSA) treatment of 3 NSCLC cell lines by Affymetrix microarray analysis. In addition, methylation of selected genes in primary NSCLCs and corresponding non-malignant lung tissue samples were analyzed by methylation-sensitive high resolution melting analysis (MS-HRM). Our results obtained by MS-HRM analysis confirmed our data obtained by MeDIP-chip analysis. Moreover, by comparing methylation results from MeDIP-chip analysis with clinico-pathological parameters of the patients we observed methylation of HOXA2 as potential parameter for shorter disease-free survival of NSCLC patients. In conclusion, using a genome-wide approach we identified a large number of tumor-specifically methylated genes in NSCLC patients. Our results stress the importance of DNA methylation for the pathogenesis of NSCLCs. Overall, samples of 3 untreated, with Aza-dC treated and with Aza-dC/TSA treated NSCLC cell lines were hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133_plus_2.0 microarrays (18 in total).
