Data: | 2022 |
Resum: | Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a progressive, non-treatable, multi-systemic disorder. To investigate the contribution of epigenetics to the complexity of DM1, we compared DNA methy-lation profiles of four annotated CpG islands (CpGis) in the DMPK locus and neighbouring genes, in distinct DM1 tissues and derived cells, representing six DM1 subtypes, by bisulphite sequencing. In blood, we found no differences in CpGi 74, 43 and 36 in DNA methylation profile. In contrast, a CTCF1 DNA methylation gradient was found with 100% methylation in congenital cases, 50% in childhood cases and 13% in juvenile cases. CTCF1 methylation correlated to disease severity and CTG expansion size. Notably, 50% of CTCF1 methylated cases showed methylation in the CTCF2 regions. Additionally, methylation was associated with maternal transmission. Interestingly, the evaluation of seven families showed that unmethylated mothers passed on an expansion of the CTG repeat, whereas the methylated mothers transmitted a contraction. The analysis of patient-derived cells showed that DNA methylation profiles were highly preserved, validating their use as faithful DM1 cellular models. Importantly, the comparison of DNA methylation levels of distinct DM1 tissues revealed a novel muscle-specific epigenetic signature with methylation of the CTCF1 region accompanied by demethylation of CpGi 43, a region containing an alternative DMPK promoter, which may decrease the canonical promoter activity. Altogether, our results showed a distinct DNA methylation profile across DM1 tissues and uncovered a novel and dual epigenetic signature in DM1 muscle samples, providing novel insights into the epigenetic changes associated with DM1. |
