Project description:The development of whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) has led to a number of exciting discoveries about how genomes utilize DNA methylation and has led to a plethora of novel testable hypotheses. Methods for constructing sodium bisulfite-converted and amplified libraries have recently excelled to the point that the bottleneck for experiments that use WGBS has shifted to data analysis and interpretation. Here we present empirical evidence for an over-representation of methylated DNA from WGBS. This enrichment for methylated DNA is exacerbated by higher cycles of PCR and is influenced by the type of uracil-insensitive DNA polymerase used for amplifying the sequencing library. Future efforts to computationally correct for this enrichment bias will be essential to increasing the accuracy of determining methylation levels for individual cytosines.

Project description:We demonstrated that DNMT3a was decreased at E3.5 to E6.5 stage in embryos developing from zygotes injected with sperm sRNAs from depressed mice.To uncover the consequence caused by DNMT3a transient reduction in developing embryos, we injected sperm sRNAs from normal or depressed mice into zygotes and systematically profiled the DNA methylome of embryos at E4.5 stage (sRNA-Dep-E4.5 vs sRNA-Ctl-E4.5) by single-cell level whole genome bisulphite sequencing (SC-WGBS).

Project description:Data about the entire sperm DNA methylome are limited to two sperm donors whereas studies dealing with a greater number of subjects focused only on a few genes or were based on low resolution arrays. This implies that information about what we can consider as a normal sperm DNA methylome and whether it is stable among different normozoospermic individuals is still missing. The definition of the DNA methylation profile of normozoospermic men, the entity of inter-individual variability and the epigenetic characterization of quality-fractioned sperm subpopulations in the same subject (intra-individual variability) are relevant for a better understanding of pathological conditions. We addressed these questions by using the high resolution Infinium 450K methylation array and compared normal sperm DNA methylomes against somatic cells. Our study, based on the largest number of subjects (n = 8) ever considered for such a large number of CpGs (n = 487,517), provided clear evidence for i) a highly conserved DNA methylation profile among normozoospermic subjects; ii) a stable sperm DNA methylation pattern in different quality-fractioned sperm populations of the same individual. The latter finding is particularly relevant if we consider that different quality fractioned sperm subpopulations show differences in their structural features, metabolic and genomic profiles. We demonstrate, for the first time, that DNA methylation in normozoospermic men remains highly uniform regardless the quality of sperm subpopulations. In addition, our analysis provided both confirmatory and novel data concerning the sperm DNA methylome, including its peculiar features in respect to somatic and cancer cells. Our description about a highly polarized sperm DNA methylation profile, the clearly distinct genomic and functional organization of hypo- versus hypermethylated loci as well as the association of histone-enriched hypomethylated loci with embryonic development, which we now extended also to hypomethylated piRNAs-linked genes, provides solid basis for future basic and clinical research. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 26 normal sperm and 2 somatic cell samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2

Project description:Increased morbidity and mortality associated with post-ischemic heart failure (HF) in diabetic patients underscore the need for a better understanding of the underlying molecular events. Indeed, effective HF therapy in diabetic patients requires a complex strategy encompassing the development of improved diagnostic and prognostic markers and innovative pharmacological approaches. Whole mRNAs expression was measured in the heart of patients with heart failure (HF) with or without concomitant Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and compared it to control non-failing hearts. We identified distinct genes modulated in HF patients compared to controls, as well as to T2DM HF patients compared to not diabetic HF patients. Our study included left ventricle (LV) cardiac biopsies taken from the vital, non-infarcted zone (remote zone) derived from patients affected by dilated hypokinetic post-ischemic cardiomyopathy, undergoing surgical ventricular restoration procedure. Inclusion criteria for diabetic were: GLICEMIA: >=126 mg/dl, previous T2DM diagnosis or anti-diabetic therapy, while for non diabetic: GLICEMIA: <100 mg/dl and HbA1c: n.v. 4.8-6.0%. Moreover, HF patients were matched for End Systolic Volume (ESV), Ejection fraction (LVEF), Age, Sex, Ethnic distribution, Smoke habits, Hypertension, Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), Body Mass Index (BMI). Genes expression was assessed by Affymetrix GeneChips Human Gene 1.0 ST array, using total RNA extracted from 7 T2DM HF patients, 12 non-T2DM HF patients and 5 controls.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), characterized by hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia leads to non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). NPDR is associated with blood-retinal barrier disruption, plasma exudates, microvascular degeneration, elevated inflammatory cytokine levels and monocyte (Mo) infiltration. Whether and how the diabetes-associated changes in plasma lipid and carbohydrate levels modify Mo differentiation. Here, we show that mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) in areas of vascular leakage in DR donor retinas express PLIN2, a marker of intracellular lipid load. Strong upregulation of PLIN2 was also observed when healthy donor Mos were treated with plasma from T2DM patients or with palmitate concentrations typical of T2DM plasma, but not under high glucose conditions. PLIN2 expression correlated with the expression of other key genes involved in lipid metabolism (ACADVL, PDK4) and the DR biomarkers ANGPTL4 and CXCL8. Mechanistically, we show that lipid-exposed MPs induce capillary degeneration in ex vivo explants, which was inhibited by pharmaceutical inhibition of PPARγ signaling. Our study provides a novel mechanism linking dyslipidemia-induced MP polarization to the increased inflammatory cytokine levels and microvascular degeneration that characterize NPDR. This study provides comprehensive insights into the glycemia-independent activation of Mos in T2DM and identifies MP PPARγ as a target to inhibit lipid-activated MPs in DR
