Project description:The major information-carrying macromolecules in the cell, DNA, RNA, and protein, carry an additional layer of information on top of their sequence in the form of modifications of residues. The modifications provide additional functional groups and impact the structure and function of the molecules. Cellular RNA molecules contain more than 100 different modifications and are found in all domains of life and in all major classes of RNA in eukaryotic organisms. Together these modifications constitute the epitranscriptome of which two-thirds are methylations with 2’-O methylation of the ribose moiety of the nucleotide as the most abundant. Many aspects of ribose methylation are underexplored because the existing methods for their detection are laborious and can only address a few modification sites at a time. Here, we introduce RiboMeth-Seq, a high-throughput sequencing based method and applies it to yeast ribosomal RNA. We detect all of the known as well as one new methylation site and provide evidence for hypomethylation at specific residues. Furthermore we demonstrate that many methylation events are interdependent and outline the timing of modifications during ribosome biogenesis. Our results demonstrate a novel and efficient approach to understanding of the role of modifications in ribosomal RNA folding and ribosome function. Recent evidence point to changes in ribose methylation patterns in cancer ribosomes and we anticipate that RiboMeth-Seq can be applied here as well as to other diseases in which ribosomes are affected, including the heritable ribosomopathies. Yeast RNA was degraded at denaturing conditions into small fragments, long enough to be mapped by sequence alignment to the reference genome (20-40 nucleotides). The fragments were ligated to RNA oligos using a tRNA ligase that was mutated to remove its kinase activity, reverse transcribed and the cDNA used as input for Ion semiconductor sequencing. The first and last nucleotides of the inserts were recorded using the full sequence for mapping and the read-ends plotted against the sequence. 2'-O-Methylated RNA positions are protected from cleavage, and read ends from such positions are therefore underrepresented compared to the surrounding positions.

Project description:A sequencing-based profiling method (RiboMeth-seq) for ribose methylations was used to study methylation patterns in mouse adult tissues and during development. In contrast to previous reports based on studies of human cancer cell lines, almost all methylation sites were close to fully methylated in adult tissues. A subset of sites was differentially modified in developing tissues compared to their adult counterparts and showed clear developmental dynamics. This provides the first evidence for ribosome heterogeneity at the level of rRNA modifications during mouse development. In a prominent example, the expression levels of SNORD78 during development appeared to be regulated by alternative splicing of the Gas5 host-gene and to correlate with the methylation level of its target site at LSU-G4593. The results are discussed in the context of the specialized ribosome hypothesis.

Project description:Cancer cells are addicted to ribosome biogenesis and high levels of translation. Thus, differential inhibition of cancer cells can be achieved by targeting aspects of ribosome biogenesis or ribosome function. Using RiboMeth-seq for profiling of the ~112 2’-O-Me sites in human ribosomal RNA, we demonstrated pronounced hypomethylation at several sites in patient-derived DLBCL cell lines with a more severe perturbation in ABC-DLBCL compared to GBC-DLBCL. We extended our analysis to tumor samples from patients and demonstrated significant changes to the ribosomal modification pattern that appeared to consist of cell growth-related as well as tumor-specific changes. Sites of hypomethylation in patient samples are discussed as potential drug targets, using as an example a site in the small subunit (SSU-C1440) located in a ribosomal substructure that can be linked to DLBCL pathogenesis.

Project description:Altered DNA methylation and associated destabilization of genome integrity and function is a hallmark of cancer. Replicative senescence imposes a limit on proliferative potential that all cancer cells must bypass. Compared to proliferating cells, senescent cells exhibit marked chromatin re-organization. Here we show by whole-genome single-nucleotide bisulfite sequencing that replicative senescent human cells exhibit widespread alterations in their DNA methylome. These changes are linked to mislocalization of the maintenance DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1) in cells approaching senescence, altered replication-coupled DNA methylation and de-repression of repetitive satellite sequences. Deficiency of DNMT1 triggers chromatin changes characteristic of senescence and expression of satellite sequences. Most importantly, but paradoxically, gains and losses of methylation in replicative senescence are similar to those in cancer, and this M-bM-^@M-^XreprogrammedM-bM-^@M-^Y methylation landscape is largely retained when cells escape or bypass senescence. In sum, altered regulation of DNMT1 in cells approaching replicative senescence contributes to changes in chromatin structure and function. Consequently, if senescent cells escape the proliferative barrier, they already harbor epigenetic changes likely to promote malignancy. Examination of methylation status in IMR90 cells

Project description:The p53 protein is a cell-autonomous tumor suppressor that restricts malignant transformation by triggering cell cycle exit or apoptosis. p53 also promotes cellular senescence, a program that triggers a stable cell cycle arrest and can modify the tissue microenvironment through its effect on cell membrane and secretory proteins. Here we show that specific ablation of p53 in hepatic stellate cells, which undergo a process of proliferation and senescence in the fibrogenic response to liver damage, enhances liver cirrhosis, reduces survival and increases the malignant transformation of adjacent epithelial cells into hepatocellular carcinoma. This p53-dependent senescence program involves the release of secreted proteins which skew macrophages into a tumor-inhibiting M1-state that can eliminate senescent stellate cells. In contrast, p53-deficient stellate cells secrete factors that promote M2 polarization, which is pro-tumorigenic. Our study reveals that p53 can exert a non-cell-autonomous tumor suppressor response and suggests that this occurs, in part, by its ability to influence macrophage polarization. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying p53-dependent senescent and identified distinct classes of up-regulated or down-regulated genes during this process. Proliferating and senescent stellate cell pellets were collected RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable proliferation arrest and tumor suppressor mechanism. Abundance of histone modification, H4K20me3, has been reported to increase in senescent cells. Generally, H4K20me3 promotes formation of compacted transcriptionally silent constitutive heterochromatin, but its specific role in senescence is unknown. Here, we show that in senescent cells H4K20me3 is enriched at specific families of gene repeats (ZNFs, Olfactory Receptors, Protocadherins), and DNA sequences contained within senescence-associated heterochromatin (senescence-associated heterochromatin (SAHF)). Furthermore, in senescent cells, but not proliferating cells, H4K20me3 is also markedly enriched at bodies of repressed genes, including proliferation-promoting genes. Ectopic expression of SUV420H2, responsible for deposition of H4K20me3, reinforces senescence-associated proliferation arrest, and slows proliferation of transformed cells and tumorigenesis in vivo. These results indicate a dedicated role for H4K20me3 in control of nuclear organization and gene expression in senescent cells and stable senescence-associated proliferation arrest and tumor suppression.

In sum, altered regulation of DNMT1 in cells approaching replicative senescence contributes to changes in chromatin structure and function. Consequently, if senescent cells escape the proliferative barrier, they already harbor epigenetic changes likely to promote malignancy.
