Project description:DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in the regulation of mammalian gene expression, with each type of cell developing a specific methylation profile during its differentiation. The enzymatic mechanisms of DNA methylation and demethylation are well understood; however, little is known about how cell-type-specific DNA methylation profiles are developed. Recently, a small subgroup of transcription factors (TFs) have been shown to promote DNA demethylation at their binding sites (e.g., RUNX1 reported by our group).

Project description:Background: DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic modification which is involved in many biological systems such as differentiation and disease. We and other groups recently discovered that a part of transcription factors (TFs) plays a role for site-specificity determination of DNA demethylation in a binding site-directed manner, although number of reports for such TFs are limited. Results: Here, we develop a screening system to identify TFs which induce the binding site-directed DNA methylation changes. The system consists of ectopic expression of target TFs in model cells and the DNA methylome analysis followed by overrepresentation analysis of the corresponding TF binding motif at differentially methylated regions. Our system successfully identifies binding site-directed demethylation of SPI1 which is known to promote DNA demethylation in a binding-site directed manner. We extend our screening system to 15 master TFs which are involved in cellular differentiations, and identified 8 (RUNX3, GATA2, CEBPB, MAFB, NR4A2, MYOD1, CEBPA and TBX5) novel binding site-directed DNA demethylation inducing TFs. Gene ontology and specifically expressing tissue enrichment analysis revealed that those 8 TFs demethylate genome regions which are associated with corresponding biological roles, supporting performance of our system. We also describe characteristics of the binding site-directed DNA demethylation induced by those TFs; targeting highly methylated CpGs, local DNA demethylation, and overlap of demethylated regions between same family TFs. Conclusion: Thus, our results emphasize usefulness of the developed screening system for identification of TFs which induce DNA demethylation in a site-directed manner.

Project description:DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification for gene silencing and is dramatically altered spatiotemporally during cellular development. However, the roles of DNA methylation dynamics and regulation in cellular development remain unclear. The present analyses of DNA methylome dynamics during hematopoietic development suggest that DNA demethylation pre-defines the gene expression potential of terminal differentiation-specific genes at the progenitor cell stage and is regulated by lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs). Demethylation of majority of hypo-methylated CpGs in terminally differentiated cells occurs during the progenitor cell stage and is associated with rapid upregulation of terminal differentiation-specific genes. Accordingly, TF overrepresentation analyses indicated that lineage-specific TFs regulate DNA demethylation. The present experiments show that RUNX1 induces site-directed active DNA demethylation by recruiting DNA demethylation enzymes. Collectively, the present data indicate an integrated system of DNA methylation and gene expression during cellular development.

Project description:Gall formation on the belowground parts of plants infected with Plasmodiophora brassicae is the result of extensive host cellular reprogramming. The development of these structures is a consequence of increased cell proliferation followed by massive enlargement of cells colonised with the pathogen. Drastic changes in cellular growth patterns create local deformities in the roots and hypocotyl giving rise to mechanical tensions within the tissue of these organs. Host cell wall extensibility and recomposition accompanies growth of the gall, influences pathogen spread and also pathogen life cycle progression. Demethylation of pectin within the extracellular matrix may play an important role in P. brassicae-driven hypertrophy of host underground organs. Through proteomic analysis of the cell wall we identified proteins accumulating in the galls developing on the underground parts of Arabidopsis thaliana plants infected with P. brassicae. One of the key proteins identified was the pectin methylesterase PME18; we further characterised its expression and conducted functional and anatomic studies in the knock-out mutant and used Raman spectroscopy to study the status of pectin in P. brassicae infected galls. We found that late stages of gall formation are accompanied with increased levels of Pectin Methylesterase 18 (PME18). We have also shown, that the massive enlargement of cells colonised with P. brassicae coincides with decreases in pectin methylation. In pme18-1 knock-out mutants P. brassicae could still induce demethylation; however, the galls in this line were smaller and cellular expansion was less pronounced. Alteration in pectin demethylation in the host resulted in changes in pathogen distribution and slowed down disease progression. To conclude, P. brassicae driven host organ hypertrophy observed during clubroot disease is accompanied by pectin demethylation in the extracellular matrix. The pathogen hijacks endogenous host mechanisms involved in cell wall loosening to create an optimal cellular environment for completion of its life cycle and eventual release of resting spores facilitated by degradation of demethylated pectin polymers.

Project description:We report that the winged helix transcription factor FOXA1 is unexpectedly associated with components of single and double stranded-DNA repair complexes. Biochemical studies and high-throughput approaches validated the hierarchical composition of this FOXA1-nucleated machinery and revealed the dependency on FOXA1 for global targeting of the key repair polymerase POLB. Genome-wide DNA methylomes at single-base resolution demonstrated that FOXA1-DNA repair complex is functionally linked to DNA demethylation in a lineage specific fashion. Loss-of-function studies indicate that a significant portion of FOXA1-bound regions display localized reestablishment of methylation and that the subsets with most consistent hypermethylation are represented by active promoters and enhancers that also exhibit the greatest depletion of POLB following FOXA1 removal. Consistently, forced expression of FOXA1 commits its binding sites to an active DNA demethylation in a POLB dependent manner. Finally, we showed that FOXA1-associated DNA demethylation is tightly coupled with genomic targeting of estrogen receptor and estrogen responsiveness. Together, our results link FOXA1-associated DNA demethylation to its transcriptional pioneering.

Project description:Long-term side effects of doxorubicin include cardiotoxicity. Because studying transcriptional network alterations in human heart at early stages of cardiac dysfunction development is not feasible, in the present study, we used circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) to obtain insight into cellular processes in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors with a history of doxorubicin treatment. We showed that altered miRNA profiles in plasma and circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) and particularly the distribution of miRNAs between the two compartments in ALL survivors are linked to cellular transcriptomic processes controlled by transcription factors involved in epigenetic regulation, oxidative stress response, senescence, fibrosis, or epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)—a phenomenon involved in organ injury, repair, and remodeling. These alterations could also be linked to cardiac complications and interindividual variability in cardiomyocyte response to doxorubicin. Thus, circulating miRNAs can indicate the possible molecular mechanisms of cardiotoxicity in patients previously exposed to anthracyclines even when there are no apparent clinical signs of heart dysfunction.
