DNA methylation profiling of Nlrp5 +/+, and -/- and germinal vesical murine oocytes

ABSTRACT: Nlrp5 encodes a core component of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) a cytoplasmic protein structure unique to the mammalian oocyte and cleavage-stage embryo. NLRP5 mutations have been identified in patients presenting with early embryo arrest, recurrent molar pregnancies and imprinting disorders. Correct patterning of DNA methylation over imprinted domains during oogenesis is necessary for faithful imprinting of genes. It was previously shown that oocytes with mutations in the human SCMC gene KHDC3L had globally impaired methylation, suggesting a role for the SCMC in the establishment of DNA methylation at imprinted regions. Here, we present a multi-omic analysis of an Nlrp5-null mouse model, which displays a global misregulation of maternal proteins in Nlrp5-null oocytes, likely underlying oocyte developmental incompetence. We also show that de novo DNA methylation is altered in Nlrp5-null oocytes, and that epigenetic modifiers such as DNMT3L are significantly reduced. This provides evidence for mechanisms leading to downstream misregulation of imprinted genes, which in turn, may result in imprinting syndromes, multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID), and hydatidiform moles.

An Nlrp5-null mutation leads to attenuated de novo methylation in oocytes, accompanied by significant reduction in DNMT3L

Project description:Nlrp5 encodes a core component of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) a cytoplasmic protein structure unique to the mammalian oocyte and cleavage-stage embryo. NLRP5 mutations have been identified in patients presenting with early embryo arrest, recurrent molar pregnancies and imprinting disorders. It was previously shown that oocytes with mutations in the human SCMC gene KHDC3L had globally impaired methylation, suggesting a requirement for integrity of the SCMC in the establishment of DNA methylation. Here, we present a multi-omic analysis of an Nlrp5-null mouse model. We detect global misregulation of maternal proteins, including profound reduction in the essential de novo methylation factor DNMT3L, which could contribute to attenuated de novo methylation we observe. In contrast, the maintenance methyltransferase DNMT1 exhibits normal cytoplasmic localisation. This provides evidence for mechanisms leading to downstream misregulation of imprinted genes, which in turn, may result in imprinting syndromes, multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID) and hydatidiform moles.

A KHDC3L mutation resulting in recurrent hydatidiform mole causes genome-wide DNA methylation loss in oocytes and persistent imprinting defects post-fertilisation.

Project description:Maternal-effect mutations in components of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) of the human oocyte can cause early embryonic failure, gestational abnormalities and recurrent pregnancy loss. Enigmatically, they are also associated with DNA methylation abnormalities at imprinted genes in conceptuses, in the devastating gestational abnormality biparental complete hydatidiform mole (BiCHM) or in multi-locus imprinting disease (MLID). However, the developmental timing, genomic extent and mechanistic basis of these imprinting defects are unknown. Here, we studied methylation level of a women reported with familial recurrent hydatidiform mole and multiple pregnancy loss. Genotype analysis revealed homozygous mutation in KHDC3L. We obtained biparental mole from patient (Patient D) and compared it’s whole-genome methylation profile with respect to control placentas and sporadic mole (AnCHM) using Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (WG-317-1001, Illumina). We also used endometrium samples from their respective mother for the comparison purposes. Molar conceptuses were observed with methylation defects at genome-wide level and profound loss of methylation at multiple genome-derived differentially methylated regions (gDMRs) confirming MLID.

Impaired DNA methylation in oocytes with a mutation in KHDC3L causing recurrent hydatidiform mole

Project description:Mutations in components of the subcortical maternal complex (SMC) of the human oocyte are enigmatically associated with DNA methylation abnormalities specifically at imprinted genes in conceptuses, but the developmental timing, genomic extent and mechanistic details of these defects are unknown. Here, we show, by single-cell bisulphite sequencing, that mutation in human KHDC3L that causes recurrent hydatidiform mole results in a genome-wide deficit of de novo methylation in oocytes.

A maternal-effect Padi6 variant causes nuclear and cytoplasmic abnormalities in oocytes as well as failure of epigenetic reprogramming and zygotic genome activation in embryos [WGS]

Project description:Maternal inactivation of genes encoding components of the sub-cortical maternal complex (SCMC) and its associated member PADI6 generally results in early embryo lethality. In humans, SCMC gene variants were found in the healthy mothers of children affected by multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). However, how the SCMC controls the DNA methylation required to regulate imprinting remains poorly defined. We generated a mouse line carrying a Padi6 missense variant that was identified in a family with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and MLID. If homozygous in female mice this variant resulted in interruption of embryo development at the 2-cell stage. Single-cell multi-omic analyses demonstrated defective maturation of Padi6-mutant oocytes and incomplete DNA demethylation, down-regulation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes, up-regulation of maternal decay genes and developmental delay in 2-cell embryos developing from Padi6-mutant oocytes, but little effect on genomic imprinting. Western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses showed reduced level of UHRF1 in oocytes and abnormal localization of DNMT1 and UHRF1 in both oocytes and zygotes. Treatment with 5-azacytidine reverted DNA hypermethylation but did not rescue the developmental arrest of mutant embryos. Taken together, this study demonstrates that PADI6 controls both nuclear and cytoplasmic oocyte processes that are necessary for pre-implantation epigenetic reprogramming and ZGA.

Loss-of-function maternal-effect mutations of PADI6 are associated with familial and sporadic Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome with multi-locus imprinting disturbance

Project description:PADI6 is a component of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) which is a group of proteins that are abundantly expressed in the oocyte cytoplasm and essential for the proper development of the early embryo. The mutation(s) in the components of the subcortical maternal complex have been associated with reproductive failures, including formation of hydatidiform mole, female infertility and imprinting disorders with multi-locus imprinting disturbance (MLIDs).In the current study by using whole-exome sequencing analysis, we identified four cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome with multi-locus imprinting disturbance while their mothers were carriers of variants in PADI6 gene. Genome-wide methylation profiling using Methylation EPIC array depicted the loss of methylation specifically at several known imprinted loci in affected individuals as compared to healthy siblings, parents and controls. Our findings firmly establish the role of PADI6 in imprinting disorders.

Novel genetic variants of KHDC3L and other members of the subcortical maternal complex associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1B and multi-locus imprinting disturbances

Project description:Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B) are imprinting disorders (ID) caused by deregulation of the imprinted gene clusters located at 11p15.5 and 20q13.32, respectively. In both of these diseases a subset of the patients is affected by multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). In several families, MLID is associated with damaging variants of maternal-effect genes encoding protein components of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC). However, frequency, penetrance and recurrence risks of these variants are still undefined. In this study, we screened two cohorts of BWS patients and one cohort of PHP1B patients for the presence of MLID, and analysed the positive cases for the presence of maternal variants in the SCMC genes by whole exome-sequencing and in silico functional studies. We identified 10 new cases of MLID associated with the clinical features of either BWS or PHP1B, in which segregate 13 maternal putatively damaging missense variants of the SCMC genes. The affected genes also included KHDC3L that has not been associated with MLID to date. Moreover, we highlight the possible relevance of relatively common variants in the aetiology of MLID. Our data further add to the list of the SCMC components and maternal variants that are involved in MLID, as well as of the associated clinical phenotypes. Also, we propose that in addition to rare variants, common variants may play a role in the aetiology of MLID and imprinting disorders by exerting an additive effect in combination with rarer putatively damaging variants. These findings provide useful information for the molecular diagnosis and recurrence risk evaluation of MLID-associated IDs in genetic counselling.

Highly variable genomic methylation in the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome associated with Multi-Locus Imprinting Disturbances

Project description:The expression of imprinted genes, which depends on their gamete of origin, is regulated by DNA sequences characterized by differential methylation between the maternal and paternal alleles (also known as germline differentially methylated regions or gDMRs). A common molecular defect associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), a condition linked to overgrowth and tumors, is the loss of methylation of the KCNQ1OT1-TSS gDMR located on chromosome 11p15.5 (also known as IC2 LoM). Approximately one-third of BWS patients with IC2 LoM exhibit multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). While maternal-effect variants in proteins of the oocyte subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) have been linked to MLID, the underlying mechanisms and health impacts of this epigenetic disturbance remain unclear.
