Allele-specific aberration of imprinted domain chromosome architecture associates with large offspring syndrome [WGBS]

ABSTRACT: Large offspring syndrome (LOS) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome are a similar epigenetic congenital overgrowth conditions in ruminants and humans, respectively. We have reported global loss-of-imprinting, methylome epimutations, and global misregulation of genes in LOS. However, less than 4% of gene misregulation can be explained with short range (<20Kb) alterations in DNA methylation. Therefore, we hypothesized that methylome epimutations in LOS affect chromosome architecture which results in misregulation of genes located at distances >20Kb in cis and also in trans (other chromosomes). Our analyses focused on two imprinted domains that frequently show misregulation in these syndromes, namely KvDMR1 and IGF2R. Using bovine fetal fibroblasts, we identified CTCF binding at IGF2R but not KvDMR1, and allele-specific chromosome architecture of these domains in controls. In LOS, analyses identified erroneous long-range contacts and clustering tendency in the direction of expression of misregulated genes. In conclusion, altered chromosome architecture is involved in the etiology of LOS.

Spontaneous and ART-induced large offspring syndrome: similarities and differences in DNA methylome

Project description:Large/abnormal offspring syndrome (LOS/AOS) is a congenital overgrowth syndrome reported in ruminants produced by assisted reproduction (ART-LOS) which exhibit global disruption of the epigenome and transcriptome. LOS/AOS shares phenotypes and epigenotypes with the human congenital overgrowth condition Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. We have reported that LOS occurs spontaneously (SLOS), however, to date, no study has been conducted to determine if SLOS has the same methylome epimutations as ART-LOS. In this study, we performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing to examine global DNA methylation in SLOS and ART-LOS tissues. We observed unique patterns of global distribution of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) over different genomic contexts, such as promoters, CpG islands and surrounding regions, and repetitive sequences from different treatment groups. In addition, we identified hundreds of LOS-vulnerable DMRs across different cattle breeds when analyzing four idependent LOS experiments together. Specifically, there are 25 highly vulnerable DMRs that could potentially serve as molecular markers for the diagnosis of LOS, including at the promoters of DMRT2 and TBX18, at the imprinted gene bodies of IGF2R, PRDM8, and BLCAP/NNAT, and at multiple CpG islands. We also observed tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns between muscle and blood, and conservation of ART-induced DNA methylation changes between muscle and blood. We conclude that as in ART-LOS, alterations of the epigenome are involved in the etiology of SLOS. In addition, SLOS and ART-LOS share some similarities in methylome epimutations.

Global misregulation of genes largely uncoupled to DNA methylome epimutations characterizes a congenital overgrowth syndrome

Project description:Assisted reproductive therapies (ART) have become increasingly common worldwide and up to ~6% of children currently born in developed countries were conceived employing these technologies. Numerous retrospective studies have suggested that ART-conceived children are more likely to develop the overgrowth syndrome Beckwith-Wiedemann (BWS). In bovine, the use of ART can induce a similar overgrown condition, which is referred to as large offspring syndrome (LOS). Both BWS and LOS involve dysregulation of imprinted genes. However, it remains largely unknown whether aberrant gene expression and DNA methylation occur at non-imprinted loci and to what extent these molecular alterations can contribute to these syndromes. Here we examined the transcriptome of skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, and brain of control and LOS bovine fetuses and found that different LOS fetuses exhibit different severity of the transcriptome alterations and different tissues have distinct gene pathways disturbed in LOS fetuses. Particularly for skeletal muscle, multiple pathways involved in myoblast proliferation and fusion into myotubes are misregulated in LOS fetuses. Further, characterization of the methylome of skeletal muscle demonstrates numerous local methylation differences; however, global DNA methylation is comparable between all individuals regardless of bodyweight. Importantly, only a small percent of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including the imprinted gene IGF2R can be linked to the neighboring differentially methylated regions (DMRs). In summary, we not only show that misregulation of non-imprinted genes in addition to loss-of-imprinting contributes to the ART-induced overgrowth syndrome but also demonstrate that most of the aberrant gene expression is not associated with DNA methylome epimutations.

Altered microRNA expression profiles in large offspring syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

Project description:The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) can induce a congenital overgrowth condition in humans and ruminants, namely Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and large offspring syndrome (LOS), respectively. Shared phenotypes and epigenotypes have been found between BWS and LOS. We have observed global misregulation of transcripts in bovine foetuses with LOS. microRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional gene expression regulators. We hypothesize that there is miRNA misregulation in LOS and that this misregulation is shared with BWS. In this study, small RNA sequencing was conducted to investigate miRNA expression profiles in bovine and human samples. We detected 407 abundant known miRNAs and predicted 196 putative miRNAs from the bovine sequencing results and identified 505 abundant miRNAs in human tongue. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) were identified between control and LOS groups in all tissues analysed as well as between BWS and control human samples. DE-miRNAs were detected from several miRNA clusters including DLK1-DIO3 genomic imprinted cluster in LOS and BWS. DNA hypermethylation was associated with downregulation of miRNAs in the DLK1-DIO3. mRNA targets of the DE-miRNAs were predicted and signalling pathways associated with control of organ size (including the Hippo signalling pathway), cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell survival, cell cycle, and cell adhesion were found to be enriched with these genes. Yes associated protein 1 (YAP1) is the core effector of the Hippo signalling pathway, and increased level of active (non-phosphorylated) YAP1 protein was detected in skeletal muscle of LOS foetuses. Overall, our data provide evidence of miRNA misregulation in LOS and BWS.

Characterization of global loss of imprinting in overgrowth syndrome induced by assisted reproduction

Project description:Embryos generated with the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) can develop overgrowth syndromes. In ruminants, the condition is referred to as large offspring syndrome (LOS) and exhibits variable phenotypic abnormalities including overgrowth, enlarged tongue, and abdominal wall defects. These characteristics recapitulate those observed in the human loss-of-imprinting (LOI) overgrowth syndrome Beckwith-Wiedemann (BWS). We have recently shown LOI at the KCNQ1 locus in LOS, the most common epimutation in BWS. Although the first case of ART-induced LOS was reported in 1995, studies have not yet determined the extent of LOI in this condition. Here, we determined allele-specific expression of imprinted genes previously identified in human and/or mouse in day 105 Bos taurus indicus X Bos taurus taurus F1 hybrid control and LOS fetuses using RNAseq. Our analysis allowed us to determine the monoallelic expression of 20 genes in tissues of control fetuses. LOS fetuses displayed variable LOI when compared to controls. Biallelic expression of imprinted genes in LOS was associated with tissue-specific hypomethylation of the normally methylated parental allele. In addition, a positive correlation was observed between bodyweight and the number of biallelically expressed imprinted genes in LOS fetuses. Further, not only was there loss of allele-specific expression of imprinted genes in LOS, but we also observed differential transcript amounts of these genes between control and overgrown fetuses. In summary, we characterized previously unidentified imprinted genes in bovine and identified misregulation of imprinting at multiple loci in LOS. We concluded that LOS is a multi-locus loss-of-imprinting syndrome, as is BWS.

Airn transcriptional overlap but not its lncRNA products induce imprinted Igf2r silencing.

Project description:To test if the imprinted long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Airn transcription or its product silences the protein-coding Igf2r gene, we shortened the endogenous lncRNA to four different lengths by inserting polyadenylation (polyA) cassettes on the paternal chromosome via homologous recombination in ES cells. ES cell differentiation was used to recapitulate the developmental onset of Airn and Igf2r imprinted expression and polyA cassettes inserted before (T3, T16, T27) or after (T31, T51) the Igf2r promoter successfully truncated Airn, with the exception of T27. RNA hybridization to a tiling array (MIRTA) demonstrated loss of Airn upstream of the Igf2r promoter (except T27) and absence of novel spliced variants in all truncation alleles. To further test the transcriptional overlap model we moved the Airn promoter ~700bp before the Igf2r TSS in ES cells that lack an endogenous paternal Airn promoter and called this cell line FAP (Forward-Airn-Promoter). RNA hybridization to a tiling array (MIRTA) demonstrated that the moved Airn promoter expresses Airn in wildtype orientation and terminates at the wildtype 3' end. ES cell lines expressing different Airn variants were differentiated on gelatinized dishes after feeder cell depletion and LIF withdrawal by 0.27M-BM-5M retinoic acid for 5 days and Airn length was assayed.
