LTR retrotransposons transcribed in oocytes drive species-specific and heritable changes in DNA methylation

ABSTRACT: De novo DNA methylation (DNAme) occurs coincident with transcription during mouse oogenesis. As many oocyte transcripts originate in Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs), which are divergent across species, we examined whether polymorphic LTR-initiated transcription units (LITs) shape the oocyte methylome. We identified thousands of syntenic regions in mouse, rat and human, including CpG islands (CGIs), that show divergent DNAme associated with polymorphic LITs. Notably, many CGI promoters methylated exclusively in mouse and/or rat are embedded within rodent-specific LITs, and show persistent maternal methylation in the blastocyst. Polymorphic LITs are also responsible for divergent methylation of CGI promoters in distantly related mouse strains, revealing that LITs also promote intra-species diversification of promoter DNAme.

Differentiation of human cardiomyocyte and thymic epithelial cells from H1 control hESCs and H1 hESCs uniquely modified to be DNA methylated at the promoter CpG island of MLH1.

Project description:Engineering Pluripotent DNA Methylation by CpG Island Methylation Response (CIMR) to Synthetic CpG-free ssDNA Insertion Cellular differentiation requires global changes to DNA methylation (DNAme), where it functions to regulate transcription factor and chromatin remodeling activity, and genome interpretation. Here, we describe a simple DNAme engineering approach in pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), extending across large stretches of CpG dense “islands (CGIs).” Integration of synthetic CpG free single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) induces a target CpG Island Methylation Response (CIMR) in multiple PSC lines, Nt2d1 embryonal carcinoma cells, and mouse PSCs, but not in highly methylated CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) positive cancer lines. CIMR DNAme at MLH1 spans the CGI, is robustly maintained throughout cellular differentiation, suppresses target gene activity, and sensitizes derived cardiomyocytes and thymic epithelial cells to the chemotherapy cisplatin. Additional CIMR DNAme is reported on at TP53 and ONECUT1 CGIs. Collectively, this new resource enables total CpG Island DNAme engineering in pluripotency and the genesis of novel epigenetic models of development and disease

Maternal DNMT3A-dependent de novo methylation of the zygotic paternal genome inhibits gene expression in the early embryo

Project description:De novo DNA methylation (DNAme) during mammalian spermatogenesis yields a densely methylated genome, with the exception of CpG islands (CGIs), which are hypomethylated in sperm. Following fertilization, the paternal genome undergoes widespread DNAme loss before the first S-phase. Paradoxically, recent mass spectrometry analysis revealed that a low level of de novo DNAme occurs exclusively on the zygotic paternal genome. However, the genomic loci involved and impact on genic transcription was not addressed. Here, we employ allele-specific analysis of whole-genome bisulphite sequencing (WGBS) data and show that a number of genomic loci, including several dozen CGI promoters, are de novo methylated on the paternal genome in 2-cell embryos. A subset of these promoters maintain DNAme through development to the blastocyst stage. Consistent with zygotic paternal DNAme acquisition (PDA), many of these loci are hypermethylated in androgenetic blastocysts but hypomethylated in parthenogenetic blastocysts. Strikingly, PDA is lost following maternal deletion of Dnmt3a. Furthermore, a subset of promoters showing PDA which are normally transcribed from the paternal allele in ICM cells show premature transcription at the 4C stage in maternal Dnmt3a knockout embryos. Taken together, these observations uncover an unexpected role for maternal DNMT3A activity in post-fertilization epigenetic reprogramming and transcriptional silencing of the paternal genome.

BANP is an essential transcription factor that opens chromatin and activates CpG island regulated genes

Project description:While the majority of RNA polymerase II initiation events in mammalian genomes take place within CpG island (CGI) promoters, our understanding of their regulation remains limited. Here we combine single-molecule footprinting with interaction proteomics to identify BANP as a critical CGI regulator and the long sought-after TF that binds the orphan CGCG element in mouse and human. We show that BANP drives the activity of essential metabolic genes in the mouse genome in pluripotent and terminally differentiated cells. However, BANP binding is strongly repelled by DNA methylation of its motif in vitro and in vivo, which epigenetically restricts most binding to CGIs and accounts for its absence at aberrantly methylated CGIs in cancer cells. Upon binding to an unmethylated motif, BANP opens chromatin and phases nucleosomes. Our results establish Banp as a critical activator and put forth a model whereby CGI promoter activity relies on methylation-sensitive TFs capable of chromatin opening.

Cell Type-Specific DNA Methylation at Intragenic CpG Islands in the Immune System (MAP-Seq and ChIP-Seq data)

Project description:Human and mouse genomes contain a similar number of CpG islands (CGIs), which are discrete CpG-rich DNA sequences associated with transcription start sites. In both species, about 50% of all CGIs are remote from annotated promoters, but nevertheless often have promoter-like features. To document the role of CGI methylation in cell differentiation, we analysed DNA methylation at a comprehensive CGI set in cells of the mouse hematopoietic lineage. Using a method that potentially detects ~33% of genomic CpGs in the methylated state (>7 million) we found that large differences in gene expression were accompanied by surprisingly few DNA methylation changes. There were, however, many DNA methylation differences between hematopoietic cells and a distantly related tissue, brain. Altered DNA methylation occurred predominantly at CGIs within gene bodies, which have the properties of cell type-restricted promoters, but infrequently at annotated gene promoters or CGI flanking sequences. Elevated intragenic CGI methylation correlated with silencing of the associated gene. Differentially methylated intragenic CGIs tended to lack H3K4me3 and associate with a transcriptionally repressive environment regardless of methylation state. Our results indicate that DNA methylation changes play a relatively minor role in the late stages of differentiation, but point to a distinct role for intragenic CGIs.

NSD1-deposited H3K36me2 directs de novo methylation in the mouse male germline and counteracts Polycomb-associated silencing

Project description:While de novo DNA methylation (DNAme) in mammalian germ cells is dependent upon DNMT3A and DNMT3L, oocytes and spermatozoa show distinct patterns of DNAme. In mouse oocytes, de novo DNAme requires the lysine methyltransferase (KMTase) SETD2, which deposits H3K36me3. Surprisingly, we show here that SETD2 is dispensable for de novo DNAme in the male germline. Rather, the KMTase NSD1, which broadly deposits H3K36me2 in euchromatic regions, plays a critical role in de novo DNAme in prospermatogonia, including of imprinted genes. However, males deficient in germline NSD1 show a more severe defect in spermatogenesis than Dnmt3l-/- males. Furthermore, unlike DNMT3L, NSD1 safeguards a subset of genes against H3K27me3-associated transcriptional silencing. In contrast, H3K36me2 plays only a minor role in de novo DNAme during oogenesis and females with NSD1 deficient oocytes are fertile. Thus, the sexually dimorphic pattern of DNAme in mature mouse gametes is driven by distinct profiles of H3K36 methylation.
