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. ChIP-chip and MIRA-chip was done to map histone modifications and DNA methylation along distal chr15 in the maternal allele and paternal allele in Patdup.dist7=MatDup.dist15 and Patdup.dist7=MatDupdis15 MEFs, respectively, using Nimblegen tiling arrays for chr15.

Project description:In this study, we screened human placental samples for allele-specific methylation and subsequently novel imprinted genes associated with these regions. We used reduced representation bisulfite sequencing to identify partially methylated CpG islands (CGIs) in the human placental genome. We were able to delineate potential candidates for allele-specific methylation based on the calculation of a concordance statistic. Amongst the 28 regions chosen for validation based on high levels of expression, two regions were shown to exhibit allele-specific expression.

Project description:Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is caused by loss of expression of paternally expressed genes in the human 15q11.2-q13 imprinting domain. A set of imprinted genes that are active on the paternal but silenced on the maternal chromosome are intricately regulated by a bipartite imprinting center (PWS-IC) located in the PWS imprinting domain. We previously discovered that euchromatic histone lysine N-methyltransferase-2 (EHMT2/G9a) inhibitors are capable of un-silencing PWS-associated genes by restoring their expression from the maternal chromosome. Here, in mice lacking the Ehmt2 gene, we document un-silencing of the imprinted Snrpn/Snhg14 gene on the maternal chromosome in the late embryonic and postnatal brain. Using PWS and Angelman syndrome patient derived cells with either paternal or maternal deletion of 15q11.2-q13, we have found that chromatin of maternal PWS-IC is closed and has compact 3D folding confirmation. We further show that a distinct noncoding RNA (TSS4-280118) preferentially transcribed from the upstream of the PWS-IC of maternal chromosome interacts with EHMT2 and forms a heterochromatin complex in CIS on the maternal chromosome. Inactivation of TSS4-280118 by CRISPR/Cas9 editing results in unsilencing of the expression of SNRPN and SNORD116 from the maternal chromosome. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that allele-specific recruitment of EHMT2 is required to maintain the maternal imprints. Our findings provide mechanistic insights and support a model for imprinting maintenance of the PWS imprinted domain.
