The unmethylated state of CpG islands in mouse fibroblasts depends on the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation process.

Abstract

In vivo and in vitro experiments carried out on L929 mouse fibroblasts suggested that the poly(ADP-ribosyl) ation process acts somehow as a protecting agent against full methylation of CpG dinucleotides in genomic DNA. Since CpG islands, which are found almost exclusively at the 5'-end of housekeeping genes, are rich in CpG dinucleotides, which are the target of mammalian DNA methyltransferase, we examined the possibility that the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction is involved in maintaining the unmethylated state of these DNA sequences. Experiments were conducted by two different strategies, using either methylation-dependent restriction enzymes on purified genomic DNA or a sequence-dependent restriction enzyme on an aliquot of the same DNA, previously modified by a bisulfite reaction. With the methylation-dependent restriction enzymes, it was observed that the "HpaII tiny fragments" greatly decreased when the cells were preincubated with 3-aminobenzamide, a well known inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. The other experimental approach allowed us to prove that, as a consequence of the inhibition of the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation process, an anomalous methylation pattern could be evidenced in the CpG island of the promoter fragm...Continue Reading
