Project description:Genomic imprinting is a form of epigenetic regulation that results in expression of either the maternally or paternally inherited allele of a subset of genes. Imprinted loci contain differentially methylated regions (DMRs) where cytosine methylation marks one of the parental alleles, providing cis-acting regulatory elements that influence the allelic expression of surrounding genes, however to date the total number of imprinted loci within the human genome is unknown. To characterize known imprinted DMRS and identify novel imprinted loci we have performed whole-genome bisulphite sequencing and high-resolution DNA methylation array analysis of healthy tissues. Sequencing of bisulfite converted DNA and array based analysis of normal tissues, human embryonic stem cells, androgenetic hydatidiform moles and leukocytes from reciprocal genome-wide uniparental disomies.

Project description:Imprinted genes are monoallelically expressed according to parental inheritance. The maternally and paternally inherited alleles are distinguished epigenetically by DNA methylation and histone modifications. Chromosome-wide Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and MIRA analysis of MatDup.dist7 and PatDup.dist7 MEFs provided a panoramic map of reciprocal allele-specific histone modifications and DNA methylation at imprinted genes along distal chromosome 7 and 15.

Project description:Utilizing reciprocal genome-wide uniparental disomy samples presenting with Beckwith-Wiedemann and Silver-Russell syndrome-like phenotypes, we have analyzed ~0.1% of CpG dinucleotides present in the human genome for imprinted differentially methylated regions (DMRs) using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip microarray. This approach identified 15 imprinted DMRs associated with previously characterized imprinted domains, and confirmed the maternal methylation of the RB1 DMR. In addition, we discovered two novel DMRs: a maternally methylated region overlapping the FAM50B promoter CpG island, which results in paternal expression of this retrotransposon, and a paternally methylated region located between maternally expressed ZNF597 and NAT15 genes. We analyzed reciprocal genome-wide uniparental disomy samples (one maternal UPD and three paternal UPD samples) and six different normal somatic tissues derived from the three germinal layers (lymphocytes, buccal cells, placenta, brain, muscle, and fat) .

Project description:Selective maintenance of genomic methylation imprints during pre-implantation development is required for parental origin-specific expression of imprinted genes. The Kruppel-like zinc finger protein ZFP57 acts as a factor necessary for maintaining the DNA methylation memory at multiple imprinting control regions (ICRs) in early mouse embryos and ES cells. Maternal-zygotic deletion of ZFP57 in mice presents a highly penetrant phenotype with no animals surviving to birth. In addition, several cases of human transient neonatal diabetes (TND) are associated with somatic mutations in ZFP57 coding sequence. Here we comprehensively map sequence-specific ZFP57 binding sites in an allele-specific manner using hybrid ES cell lines from reciprocal crosses between C57BL/6J and Cast/EiJ mice assigning allele specificity to approximately two thirds of all binding sites. While half of these are biallelic and include ERV targets, the rest show mono-allelic binding based either on parental-origin or on genetic background of the allele. Parental-origin allele-specific binding was methylation-dependent and mapped only to imprinted DMRs established in the germline (gDMRs). No binding was evident at secondary somatically-derived DMRs. ZFP57-bound gDMRs can predict imprinted gene expression and we identify new imprinted genes, including the Fkbp6 gene with a critical function in mouse male germ cell development. Genetic-background specific sequence differences also influence ZFP57 binding. We show that genetic variation that disrupts the consensus binding motif and its methylation is associated with mono-allelic expression of neighbouring genes. The work described here uncovers further roles for ZFP57 mediated regulation of genomic imprinting and identifies a novel mechanism for genetically determined mono-allelic gene expression. Input and Zfp57 CHiP-Seq profiles of hybrid Black6/Cast ES cells were generated by sequencing using the Illumina GAIIx platform.

Project description:Many questions about the regulation, functional specialization, computational prediction, and evolution of genomic imprinting would be better addressed by having an exhaustive genome-wide catalog of genes that display parent-of-origin differential expression. As a first-pass scan for novel imprinted genes, we performed mRNA-seq experiments on E17.5 mouse placenta cDNA samples from reciprocal cross F1 progeny of AKR and PWD mouse strains, and quantified the allele-specific expression and the degree of parent-of-origin effect transcriptome-wide. We confirmed the imprinting status of 23 known imprinted genes in the placenta, and found that 12 genes reported previously to be imprinted in other tissues are also imprinted in mouse placenta. Through a well-replicated design using an orthogonal technology, we verified five novel imprinted genes that are not known to be imprinted in mouse. It appears that most of the strongly imprinted genes have already been identified, at least in the placenta, and that evidence supports perhaps 100 additional weakly imprinted genes. Despite previous appearance that the placenta tends to display an excess of maternally-expressed imprinted genes, when the full set of genes is uniformly scored as in this study, this maternal bias disappeared. Examine allelic expression in E17.5 placenta tissues from two individual samples, one from each of the two reciprocal crosses.

Chromosome-wide Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and MIRA analysis of MatDup.dist7 and PatDup.dist7 MEFs provided a panoramic map of reciprocal allele-specific histone modifications and DNA methylation at imprinted genes along distal chromosome 7 and 15. ChIP-chip and MIRA-chip was done to map histone modifications and DNA methylation along central chr7 in the maternal allele and paternal allele in Matdup.dist7 and Patdup.dist7 MEFs, respectively, using Nimblegen tiling arrays for central chr7.
