Project description:We propose that tetraploidy induces epigentic changes including DNA methylation due to the abnormal chromatin in the cells. To test our hypothesis, we employed methylated CpG island recovery assay (MIRA) assisted microarray to determine the DNA methylation profiles in both diploid and tetraploid cells. First, we conducted a methylated-CpG island recovery assay (MIRA). Briefly, we enriched for methylated CpG islands with methylated DNA binding proteins, MBD2/MBD3L1. The pulled down DNA fragments containing CpG islands and input DNA fragments were amplified with real-time PCR. After labeling, they were hybridized to CpG island promoter array. Data were collected and analyzed.

Project description:Astrocytomas are common and lethal human brain tumors. Here, we have analyzed the methylation status of over 28,000 CpG islands and 18,000 promoters in normal human brain and in astrocytomas of various grades using the methylated-CpG island recovery assay (MIRA). We identified six to seven thousand methylated CpG islands in normal human brain. ~5% of the promoter-associated CpG islands in normal brain are methylated. Promoter CpG island methylation is inversely and intragenic methylation is directly correlated with gene expression levels in brain tissue. In astrocytomas, several hundred CpG islands undergo specific hypermethylation relative to normal brain with 428 methylation peaks common to more than 25% of the tumors. Genes involved in brain development and neuronal differentiation, such as POU4F3, GDNF, OTX2, NEFM, CNTN4, OTP, SIM1, FYN, EN1, CHAT, GSX2, NKX6-1, RAX, PAX6, DLX2, were strongly enriched among genes frequently methylated in tumors. There was an overrepresentation of homeobox genes and 31% of the most commonly methylated genes represent targets of the Polycomb complex. We identified several chromosomal loci in which many (sometimes more than 20) consecutive CpG islands were hypermethylated in tumors. Seven of such loci were near homeobox genes, including the HOXC and HOXD clusters, and the BARHL2, DLX1, and PITX2 genes. Two other clusters of hypermethylated islands were at sequences of recent gene duplication events. Our analysis offers mechanistic insights into brain neoplasia suggesting that methylation of genes involved in neuronal differentiation, perhaps in cooperation with other oncogenic events, may shift the balance from regulated differentiation towards gliomagenesis.

Project description:To globally define methylation-âproneâ and -âprotectedâ CpG islands in colorectal carcinoma we analyzed the methylation status of 23,000 CpG islands of the human genome in ten coleorectal carcinoma samples as well as normal colon using our previously described methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp) technique (Gebhard et al. 2006; Schilling and Rehli 2007). This method enriches for highly CpG methylated DNA that can be directly applied to fluorescent labeling and oligonucleotide microarray hybridization without an additional amplification step. Keywords: MCIp-on-Chip; comparative genomic hybridization CpG-methylated genomic DNA was enriched using methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp). On each microarray, the enriched material from colorectal carcinoma samples was compared to the enriched material from normal colon to identify aberrantly methylated regions.

Project description:Transcription factors that bind small DNA motifs embedded in promoters play a central role in controlling gene expression. However, in addition to these elements, up to 70% of genes in higher eukaryotes also have high levels of non-methylated cytosine/guanine base pairs (CpGs) surrounding promoters and gene regulatory units. These features, called CpG islands, were identified over twenty years ago but there remains little mechanistic evidence to suggest how these enigmatic elements contribute to promoter function, with the exception that they are refractory to epigenetic silencing by DNA methylation. Here we show that CpG islands directly recruit the H3K36 specific lysine demethylase enzyme KDM2A. Genome wide analyses by ChIP-seq demonstrated a striking global association of KDM2A with CpG islands. Nucleation of KDM2A at these elements resulted in removal of H3K36 methylation creating CpG island chromatin that is uniquely depleted of this modification. KDM2A utilizes a zinc finger CxxC (ZF-CxxC) domain that specifically recognizes non-methylated CpG DNA and binding is blocked when the CpG DNA is methylated, thus constraining KDM2A to nonmethylated CpG islands. These data expose a remarkably straightforward mechanism through which KDM2A delineates a unique architecture that differentiates CpG island chromatin from bulk chromatin.

Project description:To globally define methylation-âproneâ and -âprotectedâ CpG islands in leukemia, we analyzed the methylation status of 23,000 CpG islands of the human genome in eight acute leukemia samples as well as normal blood monocytes using our previously described methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp) technique (Gebhard et al. 2006; Schilling and Rehli 2007). This method enriches for highly CpG methylated DNA that can be directly applied to fluorescent labeling and oligonucleotide microarray hybridization without an additional amplification step. Keywords: MCIp-on-Chip; comparative genomic hybridization CpG-methylated genomic DNA was enriched using methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation (MCIp). On each microarray, the enriched material from leukemia samples was compared to the enriched material from normal blood monocytes to identify aberrantly methylated regions. Three biological replicates were analysed for each cell line.

Project description:Little is known about the impact of DNA methylation on the evolution/progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We investigated the methylome of CML patients in chronic phase (CP-CML), accelerated phase (AP-CML) and blast crisis (BC-CML) as well as in controls by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. While only ~600 differentially methylated CpG sites were identified in samples obtained from CP-CML patients compared to controls, ~6,500 differentially methylated CpG sites were found in cells from BC-CML patients. In the majority of affected CpG sites methylation was increased. In CP-CML patients who progressed to AP-CML/BC-CML, we identified up to 897 genes which were methylated at the time of progression but not at the time of diagnosis. Using RNA-sequencing, we observed downregulated expression of many of these genes in BC-CML compared to CP-CML-derived cells. Several of them are well-known tumor suppressor genes or regulators of cell proliferation. 5-aza-2 -deoxycytidine treatment of CML cells resulted in gene re-expression and in a dose-dependent cell growth reduction. Single nucleotide variants of certain epigenetic modifiers during CML progression were not found. Together, our results demonstrate that methylation changes occur frequently during CML progression and may provide a useful basis for revealing new targets of therapy in advanced CML.
