Ent cells, demonstrating the antagonism of H3K27me3 placement by

Ent cells, demonstrating the antagonism of H3K27me3 placement by DNA methylation is far more widespread than the antagonism of DNA methylation by H3K27me3. Comparing the genes with increased H3K27me3 in DnmtTKO cells with patterns of H3K27me3 in wildtype ES cells shows that the genes with increased levels of H3K27me3 are enriched for genes that lacked H3K27me3 in wildtype ES cells (Figure 3A). Enrichment of H3K27me3 appears to be evenly distributed across the promoter, with slightly increased levels of enrichment at the TSS (Figure 3B). Examining the distribution of peaks of increased H3K27me3 across the mouse genome shows a pattern indistinguishable from the genome in general (Figure 3C). In order to examine if DNAme is antagonizing the placement of H3K27me3 by a direct mechanism we compared our data with published mouse wildtype ES cell methylome data. If DNAme isantagonizing H3K27me3 Fexinidazole chemical information directly the sites of increased H3K27me3 in DnmtTKO cells should contain DNAme in wildtype ES cells. We see that over 99 of the regions with increased H3K27me3 in DnmtTKO overlap fully methylated regions in wildtype ES cells [26], consistent with the hypothesis that 25331948 DNAme is globally antagonizing the placement of H3K27me3 (Figure 3D). It has been proposed that increased H3K27me3 in DnmtTKO cells may be due to a compensatory effect [27]. Our RNAseq data showed no increase in Eed expression in DnmtTKO cells (fold change = .91, p-value = 0.4). In order to confirm this we assayed for Eed expression in DnmtTKO cells by qRT-PCR. We found no transcriptional upregulation of Eed in DnmtTKO cells (Figure 3E). We also tested for increased PRC2 levels by western blot for EZH2 in DnmtTKO cells. We found no change in the level of EZH2 protein in DnmtTKO cells (Figure 3F). These results are consistent with the hypothesis that DNAme is directly antagonizing placement of H3K27me3 as opposed to some sort of compensatory effect. To determine if loss of DNAme and accompanying acquisition of H3K27me3 affected gene expression in ES cells we again used RNAseq to see if genes with increased levels of H3K27me3 had concurrent changes in gene expression. As in the previous experiment, we do not see a change in expression in genes that have gained H3K27me3 as a consequence of disrupted DNA methyltransferase activity (Figure 2H), suggesting that coordinate regulation of H3K27me3 by DNAme is not directly controlling gene expression. Our ChIP-seq data demonstrate that DNA methylation is globally antagonizing the placement of H3K27me3 in wildtype ES cells by a direct mechanism.MedChemExpress Emixustat (hydrochloride) similar Changes in the Transcriptional Program of DnmtTKO and Eed2/2 CellsAlthough we could find no direct effect of coordinate regulation of DNAme and H3K27me3 on gene expression in ES cells, we used RNAseq to examine the effect loss of PRC2 or DNA methyltransferase activity has on gene expression generally. Our RNAseq results were validated by qRT-PCR. For eight of nine genes tested, qRT-PCR results agreed with genes identified as significantly differentially expressed by RNAseq (Figure S3). We found 741 genes with significant changes in DnmtTKO cells relative to wildtype, similar to the 672 genes with a significant change in gene expression in Eed2/2 cells (Figure 4A, Table S3). Also, a similar proportion of the changes are upregulation, 442 (60 ) in DnmtTKO and 394 (59 ) in Eed2/2. The magnitude of the expression change is also similar between the two cell lines (Figure 4B). Upregulated genes average a fold.Ent cells, demonstrating the antagonism of H3K27me3 placement by DNA methylation is far more widespread than the antagonism of DNA methylation by H3K27me3.
