Differentiation of human parthenogenetic pluripotent stem cells reveals multiple tissue and isoform specific imprinted transcripts

ABSTRACT: Parental imprinting results in a monoallelic parent-of-origin dependent gene expression. However, many imprinted genes identified by differential methylation do not exhibit complete monoallelic expression. Previous studies demonstrated a complex tissue-dependent expression patterns for some imprinted genes. Still, the complete magnitude of this phenomenon remains largely unknown. Differentiating human parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cells into different cell types and combining DNA methylation with novel 5' RNA sequencing methodology, enabled us to identify tissue- and isoform-dependent imprinted genes in a genome wide manner. We show that nearly half of all imprinted genes expresses both biallelic and monoallelic isoforms, that are controlled by tissue specific alternative promoters. This study provides the first global analysis of tissue-specific imprinting in humans, and implies that alternative promoters are central in the regulation of imprinted genes. Gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 6 human cell lines, including 4 iPSCs differentiated to neural progenitors and sorted using NCAM1 (2 control and 2 Parthenogenetic), and 2 iPSCs differentiated to endodermal progenitors (1 Control and 1 Parthenogenetic)

The noncoding RNA IPW regulates the imprinted DLK1-DIO3 locus in an induced pluripotent stem cell model of Prader-Willi syndrome

Project description:Parental imprinting is a form of epigenetic regulation that results in parent-of-origin differential gene expression. To study Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a developmental imprinting disorder, we generated patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harboring distinct deletions in the affected region on chromosome 15. Studying PWS-iPSCs and human parthenogenetic iPSCs unexpectedly revealed substantial upregulation of virtually all maternally expressed genes (MEGs) in the imprinted DLK1-DIO3 locus on chromosome 14. Subsequently, we identified IPW, a long noncoding RNA in the critical region of the PWS locus, as a regulator of the DLK1-DIO3 region, as its over-expression in PWS and parthenogenetic iPSCs results in downregulation of the MEGs in this locus. We further show that gene expression changes in the DLK1-DIO3 region coincide with chromatin modifications, rather than DNA methylation levels. Our results suggest that a subset of PWS phenotypes may arise from dysregulation of an imprinted locus distinct from the PWS region. Gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 4 human cell lines, including 3 Prader-Willi Syndrome indcued pluripotent stem cell lines - derived from 3 affected individuals and one of their parental fibroblast cell line.

Identification of novel imprinted differentially methylated regions by global analysis of human parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Parental imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon by which genes are expressed in a monoallelic fashion, according to their parent-of-origin. DNA methylation is considered the hallmark mechanism regulating parental imprinting. To identify imprinted differentially methylated regions (DMRs), we compared the DNA methylation status between multiple normal and parthenogenetic human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) by performing reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. Our analysis identified over twenty previously unknown imprinted DMRs in addition to the known DMRs. These include DMRs in loci associated with human disorders, and a class of intergenic DMRs that do not seem to be related to gene expression. Furthermore, the study showed some DMRs to be unstable, liable to differentiation or reprogramming. A comprehensive comparison between mouse and human DMRs identified almost half of the imprinted DMRs to be species-specific. Taken together our data map novel DMRs in the human genome, their evolutionary conservation, and relation to gene expression. RRBS profiles were generated from 6 parthenogenetic iPSC lines (hiPS A11, hiPS A20, hIPS A26, hiPS B34, hiPS B36, hiPS B41) and fibroblasts from the 2 parents whose ovarian teratomas were used to derive the iPSC lines, for a total of 8 samples.

Distinct imprinting signatures and biased differentiation of human androgenetic and parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells [RNA-Seq I]

Project description:Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism that results in parent-of-origin monoallelic expression of specific genes, which precludes uniparental development and underlies various diseases. Here, we explored molecular and developmental aspects of imprinting in humans by generating exclusively paternal human androgenetic embryonic stem cells (aESCs) and comparing them with exclusively maternal parthenogenetic ESCs (pESCs) and bi-parental ESCs, establishing a pluripotent cell system of distinct parental backgrounds. Analyzing the transcriptomes and methylomes of human aESCs, pESCs, and bi-parental ESCs enabled the characterization of regulatory relations at known imprinted regions and uncovered imprinted gene candidates within and outside known imprinted regions. Investigating the consequences of uniparental differentiation, we showed the known paternal-genome preference for placental contribution, revealed a similar bias toward liver differentiation, and implicated the involvement of the imprinted gene IGF2 in this process. Our results demonstrate the utility of parent-specific human ESCs for dissecting the role of imprinting in human development and disease.

Discovery of new imprinted genes by genome-wide DNA methylation comparison between human androgenetic and parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon in which the expression of a gene is determined in a parent-of-origin-dependent manner. Imprinted genes play an important role in the normal growth and development of mammals, and mutations at the imprinting sites result in gene dysfunction and many genetic disorders. To identify new human imprinted differentially methylated regions (DMRs), we compared the global levels of DNA methylation in androgenetic induced pluripotent stem cells and parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cells using DNA methyl-capture sequencing analysis.

Allele-specific expression profiling of imprinted genes in mouse isogenic pluripotent tissues and cell lines

Project description:Genomic imprinting, resulting in parent-of-origin specific gene expression, plays a critical role in mammalian development. Here, we perform allele-specific RNA-Seq on isogenic B6D2F1 mice to assay imprinted genes in tissues from early embryonic stages and in pluripotent cell lines. For the cell lines, we include embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) derived from fertilized embryos or from embryos obtained after nuclear transfer (NT), as well as B6D2F1 ESCs and EpiSCs derived after parthenogenetic activation (PGA). Notably, the PGA-derived cell lines contain a mosaic genotype due to genomic recombination occurring in the parental B6D2F1 oocyte during meiosis. As the homozygous genomic regions of the PGA-derived cells are not compatible with allele-specific RNA-Seq, we developed an RNA-Seq based genotyping strategy that allows identification of the informative heterozygous regions. Global imprinting analysis shows that ESC lines largely lose imprints as compared to their corresponding embryonic tissues. Fertilized EpiSC and EpiSC-NT lines generally maintain imprinted gene expression. However, two EpiSC-NT lines show aberrant silencing of Rian and Meg3, two critically imprinted genes in mouse iPSCs. EpiSC-PGA lines display loss of imprinting, with known paternally-expressed genes being silenced and known maternally-expressed genes consistently showing doubled expression. Interestingly, most female EpiSC lines show monoallelic expression of Xist and full skewing of X inactivation, suggesting a (near) clonal origin. Together, our analysis provides a comprehensive overview of imprinted gene expression in pluripotency and provides a benchmark to allow identification of cell lines that faithfully maintain imprinted gene expression and therefore retain full developmental potential.
