Epigenetic regulation and transcriptional repression by Tet1 in the early post-implantation mouse embryo: WG Bisulfite sequencing

ABSTRACT: The mammalian TET dioxygenases contribute to global waves of DNA demethylation in the zygote and in primordial germ cells, but their involvement during de novo DNA methylation at peri/post-implantation development is unknown. Here, we show novel physiological functions of Tet1 in the pre-primitive streak stage mouse embryo, where it is expressed not only in the primed-state epiblast, but also in the extra-embryonic ectoderm. In the epiblast, Tet1 contributes to DNA methylation patterning, which indirectly results in dominant transcriptional repression involving a Jumonji-family gene Jmjd8. In the extra-embryonic ectoderm, Tet1 suppresses expression of metabolic genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. These lineage-specific gene repressive functions, involving distinct modes of regulation by DNA methylation, counteract precocious differentiation of the embryo prior to the onset of gastrulation. Such dysregulation in the absence of Tet1 are surprisingly tolerated in an inbred strain but results in full embryonic lethality in non-inbred mice, thus implicating a complex but essential role of Tet1 in normal gestational development. This dataset includes the WGBS/oxWGBS: Methylation and hydroxymethylation profiling of epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) in presence or absence of TET1. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing and oxidative whole genome bisulfite sequencing were performed on two wt EpiLCs (male) and two TET1 knock-out EpiLCs (one male and one female).

Project description:We conducted a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis in CD19+ B-cells from CLL patient and normal control samples using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS). The methylation status of 1.8-2.3 million CpGs in the CLL genome was determined; about 45% of these CpGs were located in more than 23,000 CpG islands (CGIs). While global CpG methylation was similar between CLL and normal B-cells, 1764 gene promoters were identified as being differentially methylated between the two groups. Aberrant hypermethylation was found in all HOX gene clusters and a significant number of WNT signaling pathway genes. The genes that were frequently hypermethylated were typically associated with histone H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation or bivalent domains in normal B-cells. An additional 152 genes were found to be differentially methylated between normal naïve and memory B-cells. Of these 152 genes, 123 were hypomethylated in memory B-cells when compared to naïve B-cells. Overall, CLL B-cells had methylation patterns more similar to memory B-cells than naïve B-cells. Cluster analysis showed that the tissue-specific methylated genes separated CLL samples into two groups with differential ZAP70 methylation status. Hypomethylation occurred more frequently in the gene body including introns, exons, and 3'-UTRs in CLL. The hypomethylation in the NFATc1 P2 promoter and first intron correlated with up-regulation of both NFATc1 RNA and protein expression levels in CLL suggesting that an epigenetic mechanism is involved in the constitutive activation of NFAT activity in CLL cells. This comprehensive DNA methylation map will further our understanding of the epigenetic contribution to cellular dysfunction in CLL. To perform a genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in CLL, we applied the Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) to CD19+ B-cells isolated from normal control and CLL peripheral blood samples. The genomic DNA from each sample was digested with the methylation-insensitive restriction enzyme MspI (restriction site, CCGG) and ligated to Illumina sequencing adaptors containing methylated cytosine residues. The ligated MspI fragments were size-selected, treated with sodium bisulfite, and amplified by PCR. The PCR products were purified and sequenced using Illumina GAIIx sequencer with a read length of 52 or 76bp. 11 CLL B-cell samples, 3 normal control samples including one each of normal CD19+, CD19+/ IgD+ naïve, and CD19+/CD27+ memory B-cell sample and three CLL cell lines (Mec-1, Mec-2, and Wac-3) were used. We generated 20-30 million Illumina sequencing reads for each sample.

Project description:We report the generation and analysis of high-throughput DNA methylation profiles at nucleotide resolution in a subset of targeted gene trap mouse mutants. Using high-throughput sequencing of bisulfite treated DNA, we generated DNA methylation percentage for CpG islands, and LacZ (reporter) gene in mice with the apparent silencing of the targeted gene promoter reflected by reduced reporter mRNA level. These results were contrasted with findings for a set of mutants with no silencing or CpG methylation following targeted mutagenesis using the same gene trap vector. Our findings supports the hypothesis that presence of the exogenous DNA in the targeting vector may influence the expression of genes in close proximity or may lead to promoter silencing of the target where the promoter is marked by CpG methylation. Examination of CpG methylation profiles in Knock-out and wild type mice We evaluated targeted gene promoter silencing in a group of six mutants carrying the tm1a Knockout Mouse Project allele containing both a LacZ reporter gene driven by the native promoter and a neo selection cassette. Methylation of the promoter CpG islands and LacZ coding sequence were evaluated by sequencing of bisulfite-treated DNA. CpG Islands (samples labeled as CpG) and trans gene (samples labeled as LacZ) were amplified after Bisulfite treatment. Please note that the same gDNA was used to amplify CpG Island (Gene_CpG_KO ) and LacZ (Gene_LacZ_KO) reporter for the same gene. PCR product of amplification was gel separated, isolated and pooled. After libraries were prepared and sequenced, the alignment was performed. CpG island and LacZ alignments were done separately resulting in three different Processed Data files per gene investigated: Gene_CpG_KO, Gene_LacZ_KO and Gene_CpG_WT. LacZ reference is included in the submission, but is also available for download from KOMP Phenotype website (www.kompphenotype.org). Also please note that the libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit starting from adapter binding step as samples were double stranded Bisulfite treated DNA amplicons. So the library preparation was done as with RNASeq, but samples investigated were bisulfite treated.
