Genome-wide maps of m5C methylation in neuron of mouse.

ABSTRACT: We report the application of RNA bisulfite sequencing(RNA-BS-seq) technology for high-throughput profiling of mouse neuron. Here, we successfully constructed a neuronal oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model,1.5 hours and 3 hours respectively, and obtained an overview of the transcriptome-wide m5C profiles using RNA-BS-seq. We discovered that the distribution of neuronal m5C modifications was highly conserved, significantly enriched in CG-rich regions and concentrated in the mRNA translation initiation regions. After OGD/R, modification level of m5C increased, whereas the number of methylated mRNA genes decreased. The amount of overlap of m5C sites with the binding sites of most RBPs increased significantly, except for that of the RBM3-binding protein. Moreover, hypermethylated genes in neurons were significantly enriched in pathological processes, and the hub hypermethylated genes RPL8 and RPS9 identified by the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were significantly related to cerebral injury. This study identified novel m5C mRNAs associated with ischemia-reperfusion in neurons, providing valuable perspectives for future studies on the role of the RNA methylation in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
