Title |
DNA methylation instability by BRAF-mediated TET silencing and lifestyle-exposure divides colon cancer pathways [BrafV637E knock-in ] |
Organism |
Mus musculus |
Experiment type |
Methylation profiling by genome tiling array
|
Summary |
Promoter hypermethylation divides colon cancers into subtypes with and without a CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Here, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of colonic normal and tumor tissues to dissect development of CpG hypermethylation in colon carcinogenesis. This identified age-environment related versus genetically driven CpG hypermethylation, the latter being associated with CIMP cancers. We found a strong association between BRAFV600E mutation and downregulation of the DNA demethylases TET1 and TET2. Expression of BRAFV600E in CIMP cancer cells suppressed TET1 transcription, which was sufficient to establish hypermethylation at CIMP genes promoters, including that of TET2. This phenotype was reverted by the BRAFV600E inhibitor vemurafenib. Thus, BRAFV600E, via impairment of cytosine de-methylation, is a genetic driver of CIMP in colon tumorigenesis.

Overall design |
Genomic DNA isolated from small intestine of Braf wild type (WT) mice or from hyperplastic (HP) tissue of BrafV637E knock-in mice was subjected to sonication followed by incubation with monoclonal 5-methyl-cytidine (5mC) antibody, and subsequently purification and amplification, labeling and hybridization to the NimbleGen 3x720K DNA methylation Promoter array, according to NimbleGen protocol.
