Project description:We used enhanced reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (ERRBS) analysis to dertemine global DNA methylation perturbed by loss of TET2 in the mouse mammary gland.
Project description:Loss of Tet1 expression causes global 5mC and 5hmC changes in stem and progenitor cells in mice and causes enhanced Pro-B cell self-renewal, increased DNA damage and B-lymphomageneis. In this study we performed reduced representative bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) of DNA from WT and Tet1 KO LSK cells. DNA methylation sequencing was performed and analyzed using an enhanced reduced representation (ERRBS) methodology as previously described. DNA was extracted from purified LSK cells of 6-month old WT and Tet1 KO mice, Bisulphite treatment was performed using the EZ DNA Methylation Kit (Zymo Research). Libraries were amplified according to illumina protocols and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500 machine DNA methylation profiling of LSK cells in WT and Tet1 KO mice.

Project description:To gain insight into the DNA methylation changes during OSCC carcinogenesis, we utilized cytosine conversion and next generation sequencing based technique- enhanced reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (ERRBS) - to assess DNA methylation in cultured, human TERT-immortalized, non-tumorigenic OKF6-TERT1R and OSCC SCC-9 cells.
Project description:DNA methylation in CpG context is fundamental to the epigenetic regulation of gene expression in high eukaryotes. Disorganization of methylation status is implicated in many diseases, cellular differentiation, imprinting, and other biological processes. Techniques that enrich for biologically relevant CpG-rich genomic regions are desired since, depending on the size of an oragnism's methylome, the depth of sequencing required to cover all CpGs can be prohibitively expensive. Currently, restriction-enzyme based Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing and its modified protocols are widely used to study methylation differences. Recently, Agilent Technologies and Roche NimbleGen have aimed to both reduce sequencing costs and capture CpGs of known biological relevance by marketing in-solution custom-capture hybridization platforms. These three methods target approximately 10-13% of the human methylome. For each platform - restriction-enzyme based enhanced reduced representation (ERRBS), capture based Agilent SureSelect Methyl-seq (SSMethylseq), and capture based Roche NimbleGen SeqCap Epi CpGiant (CpGiant) - we used human lung fibroblast cell line IMR90 DNA to make libraries according to each protocol and sequenced to equivalent depth. Overall, SSMethylSeq and CpGiant covered >95% of their designed capture regions whereas ERRBS covered 70% of its expected MspI regions. Methylation levels were concordant across the platforms. The concordance of annotations of CpG units for genomic features, displayed roughly the same proportions of genomic features. SSMethylSeq and CpGiant are most similar and cover marginally more annotated regions than ERRBS. However, the number of CpG units shared by all methods was low, ~26% of any platform. We conclude that captured based methods are largely consistent in terms of covered CpG loci although ERRBS provides comparable data at a significantly reduced price. Furthermore, library preparation for ERRBS can be performed with as little as 75ngs of starting material, whereas micrograms are needed for the capture hybridization techniques. Libraries were made from human lung fibroblast cell line IMR90 DNA for each protocol of ERRBS, Agilent SureSelect Methyl-seq, Roche NimbleGen SeqCap Epi CpGiant, and WGBS, then sequenced as paired-end 100bp on an Illumina HiSeq 2500.
Project description:Junction Adhesion Molecule-A (JAM-A) is present on leukocytes and platelets where it promotes cell adhesion and motility. We are interested in an interaction between JAM-A and tumor progression/metastases. To address this point, we mated JAM-A-/- mice and mouse mammary tumor model MMTV-PyMT mice which, which express polyoma middle T antigen under the control of mouse mammary tumor virus. MMTV-PyMT mice show 100% penetration of mammary tumor and highly metastases to lung. MMTV-PyMT mice without JAM-A show less primary tumor progression, therefore JAM-A enhance primary tumor progression. Then we are addressing the molecular mechanism of this phenomenon by in vivo. Furthermore, we would like to examine JAM-A deficient MMTV tumor signature. Each 3 MMTV-PyMT JAm-A+/+ (JamA+) and 3 MMTV JAM-A-/- (JamA-) mammary tumor were resected at early stages of tumor development for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Liver-specific insulin receptor knockout (LIRKO) mouse is a unique non-dietary model of insulin resistant, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis that resembles several clinical features of the human metabolic syndrome. By enhanced reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (ERRBS) analysis of the livers of wild-type (WT) offspring of LIRKO mice, we identified that genes with differential DNA methylation were enriched for cholesterol synthesis, MAPK, AKT, insulin and TGF-β signaling, including the NREP and GDF15.
