Contribution of differential cell-specific methylation to schizophrenia [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: To address the heterogeneity of gene regulation and expression in cell types of a brain region with strong evidence for relevance to schizophrenia, we carried out whole genome methylation and expression analyses using post-mortem brain tissue from BA46 that underwent fluorescence-activated nuclei sorting (FANS). Importantly, we used whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) for methylation quantification to have an unbiased assessment of epigenetic modifications associated with schizophrenia, and additionally carried out whole genome sequencing (WGS) of the brain samples to account for genetic background differences. We found that a number of schizophrenia GWAS loci overlap with sites of cell-specific differential methylation in schizophrenia brain tissue. Differential methylation is also associated with differential gene expression in a cell-specific manner. Co-expression network analysis can identify groups of genes that are enriched for differentially methylated regions in each cell type, and these groups of co-expressed genes underscore shared molecular pathways that might be at risk in schizophrenia. Together, these data indicate that the integration of multiple levels of data in a cell-specific manner can provide novel biological insights into complex genetic disorders such as schizophrenia.

Methylomic profiling of human brain tissue supports a neurodevelopmental origin for schizophrenia.

Project description:Background: Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder that is hypothesized to result from disturbances in early brain development, and there is mounting evidence to support a role for developmentally-regulated epigenetic variation in the molecular etiology of the disorder. Here, we describe a systematic study of schizophrenia-associated methylomic variation in the adult brain and its relationship to changes in DNA methylation across human fetal brain development. Results: We profile methylomic variation in matched prefrontal cortex and cerebellum brain tissue from schizophrenia patients and controls, identifying disease-associated differential DNA methylation at multiple loci, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, and confirming these differences in an independent set of adult brain samples. Our data reveal discrete modules of co-methylated loci associated with schizophrenia that are enriched for genes involved in neurodevelopmental processes and include loci implicated by genetic studies of the disorder. Methylomic data from human fetal cortex samples, spanning 23 to 184 days post-conception, indicates that disease-associated differentially methylated positions are significantly enriched for loci at which DNA methylation is dynamically altered during human fetal brain development. Conclusions: Our data support the hypothesis that schizophrenia has an important early neurodevelopmental component, and suggest that epigenetic mechanisms may mediate these effects. 33 post-mortem brain (prefrontal cortex) samples (18 schizophrenia cases and 15 controls) were obtained from Douglas Bell-Canada Brain Bank (DBCBB), Montreal, Canada. Bisulfite converted DNA from these samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.0.

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) and cerebellum samples were obtained from 46 brains archived in the London Brain Bank for Neurodegenerative Disorders (LBBND). Of these 22 were schizophrenia cases, ands of the cases 12 were male.

Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of human brain tissue from schizophrenia patients

Project description:Recent studies suggest that genetic and environmental factors do not account for all the schizophrenia risk and epigenetics also plays a role in disease susceptibility. DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic modification that can regulate gene expression. Genome-Wide DNA methylation analysis was performed on post-mortem human brain tissue from 24 patients with schizophrenia and 24 unaffected controls. DNA methylation was assessed at over 485 000 CpG sites using the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation450 Bead Chip. After adjusting for age and post-mortem interval (PMI), 4 641 probes corresponding to 2 929 unique genes were found to be differentially methylated. Of those genes, 1 291 were located in a CpG island and 817 were in a promoter region. These include NOS1, AKT1, DTNBP1, DNMT1, PPP3CC and SOX10 which have previously been associated with schizophrenia. More than 100 of these genes overlap with a previous DNA methylation study of peripheral blood from schizophrenia patients in which 27 000 CpG sites were analysed. Unsupervised clustering analysis of the top 3 000 most variable probes revealed two distinct groups with significantly more people with schizophrenia in cluster one compared to controls (p = 1.74x10-4). The first cluster was composed of 88% of patients with schizophrenia and only 12% controls while the second cluster was composed of 27% of patients with schizophrenia and 73% controls. These results strongly suggest that differential DNA methylation is important in schizophrenia etiology and add support for the use of DNA methylation profiles as a future prognostic indicator of schizophrenia Genome-Wide DNA methylation analysis was performed on post-mortem human brain tissue from 24 patients with schizophrenia and 24 unaffected controls. DNA methylation was assessed at over 485 000 CpG sites using the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation450 Bead Chip.
