Title Activation of neuronal genes via LINE-1 elements upon global DNA demethylation in human neural progenitors
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Other
Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
Methylation profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary DNA methylation is thought to contribute to the maintenance of genomic integrity in somatic cells, in part through the silencing of transposable elements (TEs). In this study, we used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to delete DNMT1, the key maintenance DNA methyltransferase in human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs). Surprisingly, and in contrast to previous findings in mouse somatic cells, inactivation of DNMT1 in hNPCs resulted in viable proliferating cells despite the global loss of DNA CpG-methylation. DNA demethylation led to specific transcriptional activation and chromatin remodeling of evolutionarily young, hominoid-specific LINE-1 elements (L1s), while older L1s and other classes of TEs remained silent. The activated L1s acted as alternative promoters for many protein-coding genes involved in neuronal functions, revealing a hominoidspecific L1-based transcriptional network controlled by DNA methylation that influences neuronal protein-coding genes. Our results give a novel mechanistic insight into the role of DNA methylation in silencing TEs in somatic human cells, as well as further implicating L1s in human
brain development and disease.
