PGC reversion to pluripotency involves erasure of DNA methylation from imprinting control centers followed by locus-specific re-methylation

ABSTRACT: Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are fate restricted to differentiate into gametes in vivo. However when removed from their embryonic niche PGCs undergo reversion to generate pluripotent embryonic germ cells (EGCs) in vitro. One of the major differences between EGCs and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) involves variable methylation at imprinting control centers (ICCs), a phenomenon that is poorly understood. In the current study we show that reverting PGCs to EGCs involves ICC methylation erasure, which remain stably hypomethylated at Snrpn, Igf2r and Kcnqot1. In contrast, the H19/Igf2 ICC undergoes almost complete de novo remethylation. Using the same approach for PGCs differentiated in vitro from ESCs we show that the Snrpn ICC is erased however the hypomethylated state is highly unstable. We also discovered that when the H19/Igf2 ICC is abnormally hypermethylated in ESCs, ICC methylation is not erased with differentiation into PGCs. This highlights the importance of not only launching germline differentiation with correctly methylated ESC lines but also the need to better stabilize the hypomethylated state in the in vitro derivatives following ICC erasure.

Integrative analysis of the acquisition of pluripotency in PGCs

Project description:To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which PGCs become pluripotent cells, we performed whole transcriptome analysis during the conversion of PGCs into EGCs. There are 3 groups of gene expression profiles, time course analysis of PGCs to EGCs, forced expression of germ cell genes in ESCs, and chemical treatment of PGCs at day2 of the culture

NaÃ¯ve pluripotency is associated with global DNA hypomethylation

Project description:Naive pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and embryonic germ cells (EGCs) are derived from the preimplantation epiblast and primordial germ cells (PGCs), respectively. We investigated whether differences exist between ESCs and EGCs, in view of their distinct developmental origins. PGCs are programmed to undergo global DNA demethylation; however, we find that EGCs and ESCs exhibit equivalent global DNA methylation levels. Importantly, inhibition of Erk and Gsk3b by 2i conditions leads to pronounced reduction in DNA methylation in both cell types. This is driven by Prdm14 and is associated with downregulation of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b. However, genomic imprints are maintained in 2i, and we report derivation of EGCs with intact genomic imprints. Collectively, our findings establish that culture in 2i instills a naive pluripotent state with a distinctive epigenetic configuration that parallels molecular features observed in both the preimplantation epiblast and nascent PGCs. EGC lines were derived from E8.5 mouse embryos using three different protocols: FCS+LIF on MEFs (FCS, n = 4)), FCS+LIF on MEFs for 48 hours followed by 2i+LIF (2is, n = 4), and direct derivation into 2i+LIF (2i, n = 4). ESC lines were derived in either FCS+LIF on MEFs or in 2i+LIF conditions and once established the cell lines were also switched between the two culture environments (n = 5 for each culture condition). All cell lines were derived from genetically identical embryos.

The severity of 11p15 ICR1 hypomethylation in clonally derived skin fibroblasts from children with Silver-Russell syndrome is not predictive of the in-vitro phenotype

Project description:The in-vitro analysis of the hypomethylation of the imprinting control region 1 (ICR1) within the IGF2/H19 locus is challenged by the mosaic distribution of the epimutation in tissues from children with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). For excluding mosaicism, clonal cultures of skin fibroblasts from four children with SRS and three controls were analyzed. Cell proliferation, IGF-II secretion, and expression of IGF2 and H19 were measured. Microarray expression analysis was performed. Single cell expansion established severely ICR1 hypomethylated clones (SRShypo) and normomethylated clones (SRSnormo) from patients and controls (Cnormo). IGF2 expression was below the detection limit of the qRT-PCR assay, while H19 expression was detectable, without differences between fibroblast clones. Cell count-related IGF-II release was comparable in supernatants of SRShypo and Cnormo. Cell proliferation was diminished in SRShypo compared to Cnormo (p=.035). Microarray analysis revealed gene expression changes in SRS clones predicting a decrease of cell proliferation and a delay of mitosis. The analysis of severely ICR1 hypomethylated clonal fibroblasts did not reveal any functional differences towards the normomethylated clones with respect to IGF2 and H19 expression. Furthermore, a clear difference to the clones from healthy individuals was not detected except from a lower proliferation rate arisen from impaired cell cycle progression. 16 samples: 8 SRShypo, 4 SRSnormo, 4 Cnormo

DUSP9 Modulates DNA Hypomethylation in Female Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:Blastocyst-derived embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and gonad-derived embryonic germ cells (EGCs) represent two classic types of pluripotent cell lines, yet their molecular equivalence remains incompletely understood. Here, we compare genome-wide methylation patterns between isogenic ESC and EGC lines to define epigenetic similarities and differences. Surprisingly, we find that sex rather than cell type drives methylation patterns in ESCs and EGCs. Cell fusion experiments further reveal that the ratio of X chromosomes to autosomes dictates methylation levels, with female hybrids being hypomethylated and male hybrids being hypermethylated. We show that the X-linked MAPK phosphatase DUSP9 is upregulated in female compared to male ESCs, and its heterozygous loss in female ESCs leads to male-like methylation levels. However, male and female blastocysts are similarly hypomethylated, indicating that sex-specific methylation differences arise in culture. Collectively, our data demonstrate the epigenetic similarity of sex-matched ESCs and EGCs and identify DUSP9 as a regulator of female-specific hypomethylation.

H3K4me2 Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis of chicken Embryonic stem cells, Primordial germ cells and Spermatogonial stem cells

Project description:We report the chromatin status in chicken Embryonic stem cells（ESCs）, Primordial germ cells (PGCs) and Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). H3K4me2 antibody was used to collect DNA sequences through CHIP experiments, and the DNA was analyzed by next-generation sequencing. We mapped the genome-wide chromatin maps of chicken ESCs, PGCs, and SSCs. We found that the entire genome of H3K4me2 in ESCs, PGCs, and SSCs was erased and then reconstructed. Most of the enriched genes were related to the cell lineage. It is mainly enriched in distal intergenic. H3K4me2 in the promoter first enriches in ESCs, then decreases in PGCs. The enrichment rebuilds in SSCs. This study provides a basis for analyzing the differences of chromatin status in ESCs, PGCs, and SSCs.

MicroRNA expression profiling of Igf2-p and H19-m mutant mouse embryos

Project description:Changes in microRNA expression in Igf2-p and H19-m mouse embryos (E9.5) were determined in order to assess whether perturbation of miR-483* and miR-675 in Igf2-p and H19-m mutants was likely to have contributed to a modification of tumour phenotype. The Igf2 gene contains miR-483* but the targeted deletion of Igf2-p in these mice spares the region encoding this microRNA. The H19 gene contains miR-675 and its expression was mono-allelelic in heterozygous H19-m mice as evidenced by a significant reduction in miR-675 in these mice relative to WT.
