Epigenetic Drifts during Long-Term Intestinal Organoid Culture.

ABSTRACT: Organoids retain the morphological and molecular patterns of their tissue of origin, are self-organizing, relatively simple to handle and accessible to genetic engineering. Thus, they represent an optimal tool for studying the mechanisms of tissue maintenance and aging. Long-term expansion under standard growth conditions, however, is accompanied by changes in the growth pattern and kinetics. As a potential explanation of these alterations, epigenetic drifts in organoid culture have been suggested. Here, we studied histone tri-methylation at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and 27 (H3K27me3) and transcriptome profiles of intestinal organoids derived from mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient and control mice and cultured for 3 and 20 weeks and compared them with data on their tissue of origin. We found that, besides the expected changes in short-term culture, the organoids showed profound changes in their epigenomes also during the long-term culture. The most prominent were epigenetic gene activation by H3K4me3 recruitment to previously unmodified genes and by H3K27me3 loss from originally bivalent genes. We showed that a long-term culture is linked to broad transcriptional changes that indicate an ongoing maturation and metabolic adaptation process. This process was disturbed in MMR-deficient mice, resulting in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and Wnt activation. Our results can be explained in terms of a mathematical model assuming that epigenetic changes during a long-term culture involve DNA demethylation that ceases if the metabolic adaptation is disturbed.

Long-term organoid culture of a small intestinal neuroendocrine tumor

Project description:Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are rare and highly heterogeneous neoplasms whose incidence has markedly increased over the last decades. A grading system based on the tumor cells' proliferation index predicts high-risk for G3 NETs. However, low-to-intermediate grade (G1/G2) NETs have an unpredictable clinical course that varies from indolent to highly malignant. Cultures of human cancer cells enable to perform functional perturbation analyses that are instrumental to enhance our understanding of cancer biology. To date, no tractable and reliable long-term culture of G1/G2 NET has been reported to permit disease modeling and pharmacological screens. Here, we report of the first long-term culture of a G2 metastatic small intestinal NET that preserves the main genetic drivers of the tumor and retains expression patterns of the endocrine cell lineage. Replicating the tissue, this long-term culture showed a low proliferation index, and yet it could be propagated continuously without dramatic changes in the karyotype. The model was readily available for pharmacological screens using targeted agents and as expected, showed low tumorigenic capacity in vivo. Overall, this is the first long-term culture of NETs to faithfully recapitulate many aspects of the original neuroendocrine tumor.

Epigenetic drift during long-term culture of cells in vitro

Project description:Culture expansion of primary cells evokes highly reproducible DNA methylation (DNAm) changes These changes might be directly regulated or caused by gradual deregulation of the epigenetic state, which is often referred to as “epigenetic drift” We have identified CG dinucleotides (CpGs) that become continuously hyper- or hypomethylated in the course of culture expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and other cell types During reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) particularly the culture-associated hypomethylation is reversed simultaneously with age-associated and pluripotency-associated DNAm changes Bisulfite barcoded amplicon sequencing (BBA-seq) demonstrated that upon passaging the DNAm patterns of neighboring CpGs become more complex without evidence of continuous pattern development and without association to oligoclonal subpolulations of MSCs at later passages Circularized chromatin conformation capture (4C) revealed reproducible changes in nuclear organization between early and late passages, while there was no preferential interaction with other genomic regions that also harbor culture-associated DNAm changes Chromatin immunoprecipitation of CTCF did not show significant differences during long-term culture of MSCs, however culture-associated hypermethylation was enriched at CTCF binding sites and hypomethylated CpGs were devoid of CTCF Taken together, our results indicate that DNAm changes during culture-expansion resembles epigenetic drift

Epigenetic drift during long-term culture of cells in vitro [4C]

Project description:Culture expansion of primary cells evokes highly reproducible DNA methylation (DNAm) changes. These changes might be directly regulated or caused by gradual deregulation of the epigenetic state, which is often referred to as “epigenetic drift”. We have identified CG dinucleotides (CpGs) that become continuously hyper- or hypomethylated in the course of culture expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and other cell types. During reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) particularly the culture-associated hypomethylation is reversed simultaneously with age-associated and pluripotency-associated DNAm changes. Bisulfite barcoded amplicon sequencing (BBA-seq) demonstrated that upon passaging the DNAm patterns of neighboring CpGs become more complex without evidence of continuous pattern development and without association to oligoclonal subpolulations of MSCs at later passages. Circularized chromatin conformation capture (4C) revealed reproducible changes in nuclear organization between early and late passages, while there was no preferential interaction with other genomic regions that also harbor culture-associated DNAm changes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of CTCF did not show significant differences during long-term culture of MSCs, however culture-associated hypermethylation was enriched at CTCF binding sites and hypomethylated CpGs were devoid of CTCF. Taken together, our results indicate that DNAm changes during culture-expansion resembles epigenetic drift.
