Title Epigenetically Silenced Genes Found Using Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation in Colon Cancer Cells Deficient in DNMTs
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Methylation profiling by genome tiling array
Summary CpG island promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes is a common hallmark of human cancer, and new large-scale epigenomic technologies might be useful in our attempts to define the complete DNA hypermethylome of tumor cells. Here we report a functional search for hypermethylated CpG islands using the colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116, in which two major DNA methyltransferases, DNMT1 and DNMT3b, have been genetically disrupted (DKOcells). Using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) methodology in conjunction with promoter microarray analyses we found that DKO cells experience a significant loss of hypermethylated CpG islands. Further characterization of these candidate sequences demonstrates CpG island promoter hypermethylation and silencing of genes with potentially important roles in tumorigenesis, such as the Ras guanine-nucleotide release factor RASGRF2, the apoptosis-associated basic helixloop transcription factor BHLHB9, and the homeobox gene HOXD1. Hypermethylation of these genes occurs already in premalignant lesions and accumulates during tumorigenesis. Thus, our results demonstrate the usefulness of DNMT genetic disruption strategies combined with MeDIP in searching for unknown hypermethylated candidate genes in human cancer that might aid our understanding of the biology of the disease and be of potential translational use.
