Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and trisomic placentas, and maternal blood cell DNA. The aim of this study was to search for methylation differences between maternal and fetal(placenta) cell free DNA, and between normal and trisomic placentas for an optimized methylation based noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal aberations. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in DNA samples from Chorionic villus samples(CVS) and DNA samples from whole blood. Samples included 12 Maternal blood cell samples from normal pregnancies, 12 normal CVS, 12 Trisomy 21 CVS, 12 trisomy 18 CVS and 6 trisomy 13 CVS samples. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 54 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip.

Project description:Comparative analysis of DNA methylation in 12 human chorionic villus samples and 12 human maternal blood cell samples We performed a genome wide analysis of DNA methylation first trimester CVS samples and gestational age matched MBCs. We analyzed DNA samples obtained from 12 CVS samples and 12 MBC samples. Data were generated using two high-throughput approaches: the Infinium “humanmethylation27” platform marketed by Illumina and a custom Agilent-based platform. We then compared these data with genome wide transcription data for the same tissues. This Series covers only the Illumina HumanMethylation27 part of the study.

Project description:Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal death worldwide. While the root cause is still unknown, the underlying biology of the disorder is becoming more clear. We recently published a study showing large, significant differences in DNA methylation in 3rd trimester placental samples associated with early-onset preeclampsia (EOPET) compared to controls. In this study, to identify DNA methylation differences associated with preeclampsia that occur early in pregnancy and to further delineate common EOPET-associated differences, we utilized a genetic defect, trisomy 16 (T16), that is predisposing to preeclampsia. We ran T16 placental samples from the 1st trimester (n=5) and 3rd trimester (n=10) against gestational age matched controls on the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. Third trimester samples were from pregnancies with T16 confined to the placenta (confined placental mosaicism 16;CPM16), and consisted of samples that were and were not associated with EOPET (n=5 each). We identified a large number of DNA methylation differences in CPM16 samples compared to controls using stringent criteria (n=2254;False Discovery Rate <0.01, ->0.15). Several of these differences (11%) overlapped differences observed in chromosomally normal EOPET using similarly stringent criteria (FDR<0.01;->0.125). Isolating EOPET-associated probes produced a similar - distribution amongst CPM16 samples, although samples associated with EOPET showed a tendency towards larger DNA methylation differences. We also identified 262 DNA methylation differences between 1st trimester T16 and 1st trimester controls. Of these, 77 overlapped differences seen in 3rd trimester CPM16. Investigating these 77 T16/CPM16 specific DNA methylation differences, we identified three probes near two genes (ARGHEF37 and JUNB) that were also present as EOPET-associated methylation differences. In summary, we identified significant overlapping DNA methylation profiles of placentas with T16 and chromosomally normal placentas associated with EOPET. Specific DNA methylation marks within these profiles may be of future clinical utility in early identification of pregnancies susceptible to EOPET. Bisulfite converted DNA from 5 1st trimester trisomy 16 placentas, 5 chromosomally normal 1st trimester placentas, 10 third trimester placentas from confined placental mosaicism placentas and 10 chromosomally normal 3rd trimester placentas

Project description:Only very few studies have investigated methylation patterns of different types of hydatidiform moles (HMs). Methylation patterns of androgenetic HMs (AnHMs) are abnormal due to the fact that the nuclear genome in AnHMs is inherited from the father, only. Diploid biparental HMs (BiHM) have been suggested to display the same methylation patterns of imprinted genes as AnHMs, and the methylation patterns are suspected to be a consequence of a failure to establish maternal methylation at multiple genome-wide loci. We have investigated the methylation patterns of AnHMs, BiHM-like placentas with a chr. 11p15.5 deletion and a BiHM from a woman with NLRP7 mutations and compared these to methylation patterns of normal placentas. Using the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technique Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) we instigated the genome-wide CpG methylation of 32 samples, including nine normal placentas, 20 androgenetic diploid HMs (AnHMs), and three diploid biparental HMs/HM-like placentas. This dataset contains RRBS data from 12 samples, including the nine normal placentas and the three diploid biparental HMs/HM-like placentas.The RRBS data from 20 androgenetic diploid HMs (AnHMs) was deposited in GSE65881:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE65881

Project description:One possible mechanism leading to the apparent polymorphic placenta-specific DMRs would be the failure to maintain allelic methylation during gestation. For a temporal comparison, we performed methylation profiling on first trimester chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and compared it with corresponding samples at term. This revealed that DNA methylation level at placenta-specific DMRs is highly stable between the two points. In addition, to ensure that the methylation profiles were uniform across the placental plate, we determined the placenta-specific DMR profiles from multiple biopsies from the same term placentas. Biopsies collected from the opposite sides of the cord insertion site also showed high correlations, suggesting that methylation does not vary greatly between sampling sites. Finally, we compared placenta samples from dizygotic twins and triplets. As in the other cases, this revealed that the correlations between samples of the same gestations (sharing the same in utero environment and maternal exposures) were also higher than between unrelated samples.

Project description:Background: Among full autosomal trisomies, only trisomies of chromosome 21 (Down syndrome, DS), 18 (Edward syndrome, ES) and 13 (Patau syndrome, PS) are compatible with postnatal survival. But the mechanisms, how a supernumerary chromosome disrupts the normal development and causes specific phenotypes, are still not fully explained. As an alternative to gene dosage effects due to the trisomic chromosome, a genome-wide transcriptional dysregulation has been postulated. The aim of this study was to define the transcriptional changes in trisomy 13, 18, and 21 during early fetal development in order to define whether (1) overexpression of genes of the trisomic chromosome contributes solely to the phenotype, if (2) all genes of the trisomic chromosome are upregulated similarly and whether the ratio of gene expression is in agreement with the gene dosis, (3) whether the different trisomies behave similarly in the characteristics of transcriptional dysregulation, and (4) whether transcriptional pattern can be potentially used in prenatal diagnosis. Methods: Using oligonucleotide microarrays (Affymetrix, U133 Plus 2.0), we analyzed whole genome expression profiles representing 54.000 probe sets in cultured amniocytes (AC) and chorion villus cells (CV) from pregnancies with a normal karyotype and with trisomies of human chromosomes 21, 18 and 13. Findings: We observed a low to moderate up-regulation for a subset of genes of the trisomic chromosomes. Transcriptional level of approximately 12-13 % of the supernumerary chromosome appeared similar to the respective chromosome pair in normal karyotypes. Expression values as well as the expression patterns of genes from the trisomic chromosome can distinguish the respective trisomic samples from euploid controls. A subset of chromosome 21-genes including the DSCR1-gene involved in fetal heart development was consistently up-regulated in different tissues (AC, CV) of trisomy 21 fetuses whereas only minor changes were found for genes of all other chromosomes. In contrast, in trisomy 13 and trisomy 18 vigorous downstream transcriptional changes were found. Interpretation: Global transcriptome analysis for autosomal trisomies 13, 18, and 21 supported a combination of the two major hypotheses. As several transcriptional pathways are altered, complex regulatory mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of autosomal trisomies. A genome-wide transcriptional dysregulation was predominantly observed in trisomies 13 and 18, whereas a more to chromosome 21 restricted expression alteration was found in trisomy 21. Experiment Overall Design: The study included the following samples: Three samples with normal chromosomes in Amniocytes (AC) and chorion villus cells (CV) each, three samples with trisomy 13 in AC, three samples with trisomy 18 in CV, and three samples with trisomy 21 in AC and CV each.

Project description:We present a detailed structural and functional analysis of the placental epigenome at its maternal interface. Specifically, we analyzed the DNA methylation pattern of chromsomes 13, 18, and 21 in samples of chorionic villus (CVS) and maternal blood cells (MBC) using custom designed microarrays. We then compared these data with transcription data for the same tissues. In addition to the discovery that CVS genomes are significantly more hypomethylated than their MBC counterparts, we identified numerous tissue-specific differentially methylated regions (T-DMRs). We further discovered that these T-DMRs are clustered spatially along the genome and are enriched for genes with tissue-specific biological functions. We identified unique patterns of DNA methylation associated with distinct genomic structures such as gene bodies, promoters and CpG islands and identified both direct and inverse relationships between DNA methylation levels and gene expression levels in gene bodies and promoters respectively. Furthermore, we found that these relationships were significantly associated with CpG content. We conclude that the early gestational placental DNA methylome is highly organized and is significantly associated with transcription. These data provide a unique insight into the structural and regulatory characteristics of the placental epigenome at its maternal interface and will drive future analyses of the role of placental dysfunction in gestational disease. Two-condition experiment, CVS vs. MBC cells. Biological replicates: 2 pooled CVS samples, 2 pooled MBC samples, collected from different patients. Each sample is divided into two parts, one part treated with HpaII enzyme, one part without. The two parts then are hybridized to the two channels of the same array. Two arrays for each sample, with dye swap to remove dye bias.

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the congenital anomalies observed in patients with Trisomy 18, we compared gene expression in uncultured amniotic fluid supernatant samples from second trimester fetuses with Trisomy 18 and from euploid controls. Analysis of differential expression using both individual-gene and gene-set or pathway methods indicated disrupted function in ion transport, MHCII/T-cell mediated immunity, DNA repair, G-protein mediated signaling, kinases, and glycosylation. Significant down-regulation of genes involved in adrenal development was also identified in the trisomic fetuses, possibly explaining both the abnormal maternal serum estriols and the pre- and postnatal growth restriction found in this condition.
