Project description:In mammals, following the passage of the replisome, nucleosomes lose their defined positioning and transcription contributes to their re-organisation. However, whether transcription plays a greater role in the organization of chromatin following DNA replication remains unclear. The data uploaded are associated to the iPOND-TMT data uploaded under PXD046514 where protein re-association to newly replicated DNA was monitored upon transcription inhibition. To see whether changes observed in the iPOND-TMT time course experiments (PXD046514) are due to changes in overall protein abundance, whole extract samples were taken for each time point (Nascent, 1h and 2h after EdU labelling) and analysed by TMT-Mass Spec.

Project description:Understanding how chromatin organisation is duplicated on the two daughter strands is a central question in epigenetics. In mammals, following the passage of the replisome, nucleosomes lose their defined positioning and transcription contributes to their re-organisation. However, whether transcription plays a greater role in the organization of chromatin following DNA replication remains unclear. Here we have monitored protein re-association to newly replicated DNA upon inhibition of transcription using iPOND coupled to quantitative mass spectrometry. We show that RNAPII acts to promote the re-association of hundreds of proteins with newly replicated chromatin, including ATP-dependent remodellers, transcription factors, DNA repair factors, and histone methyltransferases.

However, whether transcription plays a greater role in the organization of chromatin following DNA replication remains unclear. By performing iPOND-TMT time course experiments in the presents of transcription inhibition, we show that RNAPII promotes the re-association of hundreds of proteins with newly replicated DNA (Data uploaded under PXD046514). To show that this function of RNAPII is specific to newly replicated chromatin, an iPOND-TMT 24hr chase experiment was performed in the presence of transcription inhibition to examine its effect on the protein binding on steady state chromatin.

Project description:Treatment-related DNA hypermethylation may play a role in creating drug resistant phenotypes by inactivating genes that are required for cytotoxicity, but there have been no genome-wide studies to systematically investigate methylation of individual genes following exposure to chemotherapy. We used microarrays and a pharmacologic unmasking protocol in isogenic cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant cell lines to identify genes that were down-regulated in cisplatin-resistant cells and could be re-activated by the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC). We identified several hundred genes that were down-regulated in each resistant cell line. Of these, 30 genes were common to > 2 cell lines, and/or reported to be down-regulated in previous studies. siRNA knockdown of two candidate genes increased cell viability with cisplatin treatment in sensitive parental cell lines Cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant SCC cells and KB and KB cisplatin-resistant clones (n=2) were split to low density and treated with freshly prepared 5 microM 5-Aza-dC dissolved in 50% acetic acid/50% PBS or were mock treated with the same volume of vehicle in the media for 5 days. Subsequently, RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix U133A microarrays. Signal intensity and statistical significance was established for each transcript, and a 2-fold decrease in signal in each paired sensitive/resistant cell line in combination with 1.5-fold increase after 5Aza-dC treatment was used to identify candidate genes.

Project description:Esophageal cancers (ECs) are highly aggressive tumors with poor prognosis and few treatment options. This study investigated the possibility of treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cells by inhibitors of broad and specific histone deacetylases (HDACi; SAHA, MS-275, FK228) and/or of DNMT (Azacytidine, AZA). Drug targets (HDAC1,2,3 and DNMT1) were present in non-neoplastic (HET-1A), ESCC (OE21) and EAC (OE33) cell lines. All cell lines responded to HDACi by reduced HDAC activity and increased histone acetylation as well as to AZA by up-regulation of p21. Expression of drug targets remained largely unaffected by HDACi and AZA treatment. Importantly, cell viability, apoptosis, cell cycle dynamics and DNA damage were only affected by HDACi and/or AZA in ESCC and EAC, but not the non-neoplastic cells. This was specifically seen for the combination of MS-275 and AZA, leading to enhanced cancer cell selectivity and drug efficiency. By transcriptome analyses of MS-275, AZA and MS-275/AZA treated cells, known (e.g. p21) as well as novel regulated genes significantly associated with the cellular effects post HDACi and/or AZA treatment in ESCC and EAC cells were identified. Finally, human EC tissue specimens frequently expressed the actionable drug targets HDAC1/2/3 and DNMT1. In summary, a combined HDACi (MS-275)/AZA treatment is cancer cell selective and efficient in vitro. Since the majority of ECs express the drug targets in situ, this paves the way for further investigations of HDACi/AZA treatment in esophageal cancer cells and their translation into a clinico-pathological setting. To elucidate the transcriptome response to HDAC inhibitors of normal esophageal cells and esophageal tumor cells, total RNA was isolated from non-neoplastic esophageal epithelial cells (Het1A cells) a well as from two esophageal tumor cell lines (OE21 and OE33), respectively. Cells were treated with either MS-275, Azacytidine (AZA) or in combination of both. DMSO treatment was used as control in each case. Total RNA was isolated from cells 24 h after treatment and experiments were performed in biological triplicates.

Project description:Background: DNA methylation is important for maintenance of the silent state of genes on the inactive X chromosome (Xi). Here, we screened for siRNAs and chemicals that reactivate an Xi-linked reporter in the presence of 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (5-aza-2’-dC), an inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase 1, at a concentration that, on its own, is not sufficient for Xi-reactivation. Results: We found that inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) induced expression of the reporter. RNR inhibition potentiated the effect of 5-aza-2’-dC by enhancing its DNA incorporation, thereby decreasing genome-wide DNA methylation levels. Since both 5-aza-2’-dC and RNR-inhibitors are used in the treatment of hematological malignancies, we treated myeloid leukemia cell lines with 5-aza-2’-dC and the RNR inhibitor hydroxyurea, and observed synergistic inhibition of cell growth and decreases in genome-wide DNA methylation. Conclusions: Taken together, our study identifies a drug combination that enhances DNA demethylation by altering nucleotide metabolism. We demonstrate that XCR assays can be used to optimize epigenetic activity of drug combinations. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (MspI,~40-220bp size fraction) of murine and human cells.

Project description:Combination therapies targeting malignancies aim to increase treatment efficacy and reduce toxicity. Hypomethylating drug 5-Aza-2’-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-2’) enhances transcription of tumor suppressor genes and induces replication errors via entrapment of DNMT1. Post-translational modification by SUMO plays major roles in the DNA damage response and is required for degradation of entrapped DNMT1. Here, we combine SUMOylation inhibitor TAK981 and DNA-hypomethylating agent 5-Aza-2’ to improve treatment of MYC driven hematopoietic malignancies, since MYC overexpressing tumors are sensitive to SUMOylation inhibition. We studied the classical MYC driven malignancy Burkitt lymphoma, as well as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with and without MYC translocation. SUMO inhibition prolonged the entrapment of DNMT1 to DNA, resulting in DNA damage. An increase in DNA damage was observed in cells co-treated with TAK981 and 5-Aza-2’. Both drugs synergized to reduce cell proliferation in vitro in a B cell lymphoma cell panel, including Burkitt lymphoma and DLBCL. In vivo experiments combining TAK981 (25 mg/kg) and 5-Aza-2’ (2.5 mg/kg) showed a significant reduction in outgrowth of Burkitt lymphoma in an orthotopic xenograft model. In contrast, single dosing of TAK981 was ineffective and single dosing of 5-Aza-2’ only led to a modest outgrowth reduction. TAK981 and 5-Aza-2’ synergize to reduce B cell Lymphoma outgrowth in vitro and in vivo. SUMOylation is a key-player in the repair of DNA damage, hence upon TAK981 treatment the repair of DNA damage induced by 5-Aza-2’ treatment is impaired. Our results demonstrate the potential of tailored combination of drugs, based on insight in molecular mechanisms, to improve the efficacy of cancer therapies.

Project description:Expression profiling the response to inhibition of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation. Comparison of expression in HepG2 cells treated with 5-aza-dC, Trichostatin A, both, or none (control) to change methylation and acetylation status. Backgroubd: DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are epigenetic mechanisms that play major roles in eukaryotic gene regulation. We hypothesize that many genes in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 are regulated by DNA methylation and histone deacetylation. Treatment with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) to inhibit DNA methylation with and/or Trichostatin A (TSA) to inhibit histone deacetylation should allow us to identify genes that are regulated epigenetically in hepatoma cells. RESULTS: 5-aza-dC had a much larger effect on gene expression in HepG2 cells than did TSA, as measured using Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays. The expression of 1504 probe sets was affected by 5-aza-dC (at p < 0.01), 535 probe sets by TSA, and 1929 probe sets by the combination of 5-aza-dC and TSA. 5-aza-dC treatment turned on the expression of 211 probe sets that were not detectably expressed in its absence. Expression of imprinted genes regulated by DNA methylation, such as H19 and NNAT, was turned on or greatly increased in response to 5-aza-dC. Genes involved in liver processes such as xenobiotic metabolism (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7) and steroid biosynthesis (CYP17A1 and CYP19A1), and genes encoding CCAAT element-binding proteins (C/EBPalpha, C/EBPbeta, and C/EBPgamma) were affected by 5-aza-dC or the combination. Many of the genes that fall within these groups are also expressed in the developing fetal liver and adult liver. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR assays confirmed selected gene expression changes seen in microarray analyses. CONCLUSION: Epigenetics play a role in regulating the expression of several genes involved in essential liver processes such as xenobiotic metabolism and steroid biosynthesis in HepG2 cells. Many genes whose expression is normally silenced in these hepatoma cells were re-expressed by 5-aza-dC treatment. DNA methylation may be a factor in restricting the expression of fetal genes during liver development and in shutting down expression in hepatoma cells
