Project description:We compared the DNA methylation profiles of 12 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas harboring mutations in the genes encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase, IDH1 and IDH2, with 28 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas without these mutations. We profiled these samples with the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip, and characterized over 2,000 genes that were hypermethylated in tumors with mutations in IDH1 or IDH2. Genomic DNA from fresh frozen tumors was bisulfite converted with the Zymo Research EZ DNA Methylation kit, then hybridized to the Illumina HumanMethylation450 Beadchip.

Project description:More than 50% of patients with chondrosarcomas exhibit gain-of-function mutations in either isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) or IDH2. In this study, we performed genome-wide CpG methylation sequencing of chondrosarcoma biopsies and found that IDH mutations were associated with DNA hypermethylation at CpG islands but not other genomic regions. Regions of CpG island hypermethylation were enriched for genes implicated in stem cell maintenance/differentiation and lineage specification. In murine 10T1/2 mesenchymal 20 progenitor cells, expression of mutant IDH2 led to DNA hypermethylation and an impairment in differentiation that could be reversed by treatment with DNA-hypomethylating agents. Introduction of mutant IDH2 also induced loss of contact inhibition and generated undifferentiated sarcomas in vivo. The oncogenic potential of mutant IDH2 correlated with the ability to produce 2-hydroxyglutarate. Together, these data demonstrate that neomorphic IDH2 mutations can be oncogenic in mesenchymal cells.. RRBS sequencing of (1) IDH wild type and mutant human chondrosarcomas, (2) isogenic cell lines expressing wild-type or mutant IDH.

Project description:Mutations of IDH1 (R132) and IDH2 (R172 and R140), which produce an oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), have been identified in several tumors including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recent studies have shown that expression of the IDH mutant enzymes results in high levels of 2HG and a block in cellular differentiation that can be reversed with IDH-mutant specific small molecule inhibitors. To further understand the role of IDH mutations in cancer, we conducted mechanistic studies in the TF-1/IDH2 R140Q erythroleukemia model system and found that IDH2 mutant expression caused both histone and genomic DNA methylation changes that can be reversed when IDH2 mutant activity is inhibited. Specifically, histone hypermethylation is rapidly reversed within days whereas reversal of DNA hypermethylation proceeds in a progressive manner over the course of weeks. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed several pathways involved in tumorigenesis of leukemia and lymphoma, indicating a selective modulation of relevant cancer genes by IDH mutations. As methylation of DNA and histones is closely linked to mRNA expression and differentiation, these results indicate that IDH2 mutant inhibition may function as a cancer therapy via short-term histone demethylation and long-term DNA demethylation at genes involved in differentiation and tumorigenesis. TF-1 cells with and without IDH2/R140Q expression were treated with DMSO or AGI-6780, an inhibitor of IDH2/R140Q for 7 to 28 days. Genomic DNA was extracted and analyzed by the Illumina 450k Methylation array.
Project description:Cancer-associated IDH mutations are characterized by neomorphic enzyme activity and resultant 2 hydroxyglutarate (2HG) production. Mutational and epigenetic profiling of a large AML patient cohort revealed that IDH1/2-mutant AMLs display global DNA hypermethylation and a specific hypermethylation signature. Furthermore, expression of 2HG-producing IDH alleles in cells rapidly induced global DNA hypermethylation. In the AML cohort, IDH1/2 mutations were mutually exclusive with mutations in the α-ketoglutarate-dependent enzyme TET2, and TET2 loss-of function mutations associated with similar epigenetic defects as IDH1/2 mutants. Consistent with these genetic and epigenetic data, expression of IDH mutants impaired TET2 catalytic function in cells. Finally, either expression of mutant IDH1/2 or Tet2 depletion impaired hematopoietic differentiation and increased stem cell marker expression, suggesting a shared pro-leukemogenic effect.

Project description:Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) has recently been associated with a high incidence of diverse mutations in genes implicated in epigenetic mechanisms such as TET2 or EZH2. We have performed genome-wide methylation arrays and mutational analysis of TET2, IDH1, IDH2, EZH2 and JAK2 in a group of 24 patients with CMML. 249 genes were differentially methylated between CMML patients and controls. Using Ingenuity pathway analysis enrichment in a gene network centered in PLC, JNK and ERK, a recently described pathway involved in CMML was found, suggesting the potential role of epigenetics in the regulation of these pathways. Mutations of TET2, JAK2 and EZH2 were found in 15 patients (65.2%), 4 patients (16.6%) and 1 patient (4.1%) respectively while no mutations in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes were identified. Interestingly, patients with wild type TET2 clustered separately from patients with TET2 mutations, showed a higher degree of hypermethylation and were associated with the presence of altered karyotypes a known prognostic factor in CMML. Our results demonstrate the presence of aberrant DNA methylation in CMML and identifies TET2 mutant CMML as a biologically distinct disease subtype with a different epigenetic profile. 24 samples of CMML patients, 4 healthy donor Peripheral Blood samples and 4 healthy donor Bone Marror samples
Project description:ATAC-seq associates impairment of myogenic differentiation in cells with an IDH2 mutation with differences in chromatin accessibility. Differences are especially apparent in regions flanking binding sites for myogenic regulatory factors and key myogenesis noncoding RNA linc-MD1. Oncogenic IDH1/2 mutations produce 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), resulting in competitive inhibition of DNA and protein demethylation. IDH-mutant cancer cells show an inability to differentiate but whether 2HG accumulation is sufficient to perturb differentiation directed by lineage-specifying transcription factors is unknown. A MyoD-driven model was used to study the role of IDH mutations in the differentiation of mesenchymal cells. The presence of 2HG produced by oncogenic IDH2 blocks the ability of MyoD to drive differentiation into myotubes. DNA 5mC hypermethylation is dispensable while H3K9 hypermethylation is required for this differentiation block. IDH2-R172K mutation results in H3K9 hypermethylation and impaired accessibility at myogenic chromatin regions but does not result in genome-wide decrease in accessibility. The results demonstrate the ability of the oncometabolite to 2HG block transcription factor-mediated differentiation in a molecularly defined system.
