ABSTRACT: Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and breast cancer samples. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.1 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 485577 CpGs in breast cancer and normal samples. Samples included 40 normal, 80 breast cancer samples. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 120 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.1
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of peripheral blood samples. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs. Samples included 63 of male samples,and 54 of female samples from peripheral leukocytes. All samples were healthy controls. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 117 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip. Samples 1-93 were used in a pilot experiment and Samples 101-124 were used in a replicated experiment.
Project description:Down syndrome is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical signs, which include cognitive and endocrine disorders and haematological abnormalities. Although it is well established that the causative defect of Down syndrome is the trisomy of chromosome 21, the molecular bases of Down syndrome phenotype are still largely unknown. We used the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip to investigate DNA methylation patterns in whole blood from 29 subjects affected by Down syndrome (DS), using their healthy relatives as controls (mothers and unaffected siblings). This family-based model allowed us to monitor possible confounding effects on DNA methylation patterns deriving from genetic and environmental (lifestyle) factors. The identified epigenetic signature of Down syndrome includes differentially methylated regions that, although enriched on chromosome 21, interest most of the other chromosomes and can be functionally linked to the developmental and haematological defects characteristic of the disease. DNA was extracted from whole peripheral blood using the QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit (QIAGEN) and quantified by Quant-iT™ PicoGreen (Invitrogen). Sodium bisulphite conversion of 500 ng of each sample was performed using the EZDNA Methylation-Gold Kit according to the manufacturer's recommendation for Illumina Infinium Assay. 4 ul of bisulfite converted DNA were hybridized on Infinium HumanMethylation 450 BeadChip, following manufacturer’s instructions. Arrays were scanned by HiScan SQ scanner (Illumina) and the intensities of the images were extracted using GenomeStudio (2010.3) Methylation module (1.8.5) software. Methylation levels of each CpG is reported as beta value.
Project description:Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA Methylation BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in 51 central chondrosarcoma. Bisulphite converted DNA from each sample was hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation BeadChip.
Project description:Treatment of tumors with ionizing radiation for cancer therapy induces biological responses that include changes in cell cycle, activation of DNA repair mechanisms, and induction of apoptosis or senescence programs. What is not known is whether ionizing radiation induces an epigenetic DNA methylation response or whether epigenetic changes occur in genes in pathways classically associated with the radiation response. We exposed breast cancer cells to 0, 2, or 6 Gy and determined global DNA methylation at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-irradiation. We found that radiation treatment resulted in a DNA methylation response and that cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis pathways were enriched in genes are were differentially-methylated. DNA methylation profiling of ionizing radiation treated cells using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip.
Project description:In short: Genome wide promoter DNA methylation profiling of 43 T-ALL samples and 5 T-cell controls (normal bone marrow and stimulated T-cells) . The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs. Manuscript abstract: Background: Treatment of pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has improved, but there is a considerable fraction of patients experiencing a poor outcome. There is a need for better prognostic markers and aberrant DNA methylation is a candidate in other malignancies, but its potential prognostic significance in T-ALL is hitherto undecided. Design and Methods: Genome wide promoter DNA methylation analysis was performed in pediatric T-ALL samples (n=43) using arrays covering >27000 CpG sites. Clinical outcome was evaluated in relation to methylation status and compared with a contemporary T-ALL group not tested for methylation (n= 32). Results: Based on CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), T-ALL samples were subgrouped as CIMP+ (high methylation) and CIMP- (low methylation). CIMP- T-ALL patients had significantly worse overall and event free survival (p=0.02 and p=0.001, respectively) compared to CIMP+ cases. CIMP status was an independent factor for survival in multivariate analysis including age, gender and white blood cell count. Analysis of differently methylated genes in the CIMP subgroups showed an overrepresentation of transcription factors, ligands and polycomb target genes. Conclusions: We identified global promoter methylation profiling as being of relevance for subgrouping and prognostication of pediatric T-ALL. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 48 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2
Project description:COHCAP (City of Hope CpG Island Analysis Pipeline) is an algorithm to analyze single-nucleotide resolution DNA methylation data. It provides QC metrics, differential methylation for CpG Sites, differential methylation for CpG Islands, integration with gene expression data, and visualization of methylation values. COHCAP is currently the only DNA methylation package that can handle integration with gene expression data, and the results of this study show that COHCAP can identify regions of differential methylation with ~50% concordance with gene expression. COHCAP is scalable for analysis of both cell line data and heterogeneous patient data, and it can identify known cancer biomarkers as well as intriguing new roles of epigenetic regulation in cancer (such as methylation of estrogen receptor in breast cancer patients). This study also uses cell line data to show that COHCAP is capable of analyzing Illumina methylation array and targeted bisulfite sequencing data, with either 1-group or 2-group study designs. The accuracy of COHCAP is accessed using qPCR, EpiTect, and comparison of COHCAP regions of differential methylation with MIRA peaks.

Project description:Analysis of methylomic alternations related with alcohol use disorders (AUD). The hypothesis is that chronic alcohol consumption might alter genome-wide DNA methylation patterns. The results suggest that differential DNA methylation might be invovled in neuradaptations to alcohol. Genomic DNA was extraced from postmortem prefrontal cortex tissues of 23 AUD cases and 23 matched controls. Both AUD cases and matched controls are assessed with DSM-IV
