Project description:The biological mechanism of cadmium's effects is poorly characterized. This data was generated in order to help better understand the epigenetic role that Cadmium plays. We used the MIRA assay and the Affymetrix Human Promoter 1.0R Array in order to measure methylation levels in promoter regions. 34 samples corresponding to 17 mother-infant pairs were selected based upon measured levels of cadmium in the blood. Methylated DNA fragments were then isolated, amplified, and run on the Affymetrix Human Promoter 1.0R Array. Results were then summarized to CpG islands for each sample.

Project description:Astrocytomas are common and lethal human brain tumors. Here, we have analyzed the methylation status of over 28,000 CpG islands and 18,000 promoters in normal human brain and in astrocytomas of various grades using the methylated-CpG island recovery assay (MIRA). We identified six to seven thousand methylated CpG islands in normal human brain. ~5% of the promoter-associated CpG islands in normal brain are methylated. Promoter CpG island methylation is inversely and intragenic methylation is directly correlated with gene expression levels in brain tissue. In astrocytomas, several hundred CpG islands undergo specific hypermethylation relative to normal brain with 428 methylation peaks common to more than 25% of the tumors. Genes involved in brain development and neuronal differentiation, such as POU4F3, GDNF, OTX2, NEFM, CNTN4, OTP, SIM1, FYN, EN1, CHAT, GSX2, NKX6-1, RAX, PAX6, DLX2, were strongly enriched among genes frequently methylated in tumors. There was an overrepresentation of homeobox genes and 31% of the most commonly methylated genes represent targets of the Polycomb complex. We identified several chromosomal loci in which many (sometimes more than 20) consecutive CpG islands were hypermethylated in tumors. Seven of such loci were near homeobox genes, including the HOXC and HOXD clusters, and the BARHL2, DLX1, and PITX2 genes. Two other clusters of hypermethylated islands were at sequences of recent gene duplication events. Our analysis offers mechanistic insights into brain neoplasia suggesting that methylation of genes involved in neuronal differentiation, perhaps in cooperation with other oncogenic events, may shift the balance from regulated differentiation towards gliomagenesis.

Project description:COHCAP (City of Hope CpG Island Analysis Pipeline) is an algorithm to analyze single-nucleotide resolution DNA methylation data. It provides QC metrics, differential methylation for CpG Sites, differential methylation for CpG Islands, integration with gene expression data, and visualization of methylation values. COHCAP is currently the only DNA methylation package that can handle integration with gene expression data, and the results of this study show that COHCAP can identify regions of differential methylation with ~50% concordance with gene expression. COHCAP is scalable for analysis of both cell line data and heterogeneous patient data, and it can identify known cancer biomarkers as well as intriguing new roles of epigenetic regulation in cancer (such as methylation of estrogen receptor in breast cancer patients). This study also uses cell line data to show that COHCAP is capable of analyzing Illumina methylation array and targeted bisulfite sequencing data, with either 1-group or 2-group study designs. The accuracy of COHCAP is accessed using qPCR, EpiTect, and comparison of COHCAP regions of differential methylation with MIRA peaks. This software is freely available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/cohcap/. The following third-party datasets were utilized in the paper: BS-Seq data: GSE26826 Additional Microarray Data: GSE29290 This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:Proper DNA-methylation is inevitable for normal development and this epigenetic program is dynamically reprogrammed especially around embryo implantation. Accordingly, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) derived from inner cell mass in pre-implantation embryo exhibit the lowest DNA methylation level compared with differentiated tissue cells to ensure their pluripotency and germ-line potency. Methylated CpG Island Recovery Assay (MIRA) coupled chip DNA methylome analysis demonstrated that Sirt1 deficiency increases the abnormal DNA methylation especially on the a subtype of imprinted and germ-line development genes.

Project description:While the majority of RNA polymerase II initiation events in mammalian genomes take place within CpG island (CGI) promoters, our understanding of their regulation remains limited. Here we combine single-molecule footprinting with interaction proteomics to identify BANP as a critical CGI regulator and the long sought-after TF that binds the orphan CGCG element in mouse and human. We show that BANP drives the activity of essential metabolic genes in the mouse genome in pluripotent and terminally differentiated cells. However, BANP binding is strongly repelled by DNA methylation of its motif in vitro and in vivo, which epigenetically restricts most binding to CGIs and accounts for its absence at aberrantly methylated CGIs in cancer cells. Upon binding to an unmethylated motif, BANP opens chromatin and phases nucleosomes. Our results establish Banp as a critical activator and put forth a model whereby CGI promoter activity relies on methylation-sensitive TFs capable of chromatin opening.
