Figure Lengend Snippet: A subset of HOX gene TSS escapes DNA hypermethylation in IDH wt glioma samples. (A) DNA methylation changes (compared with control samples) along each HOX cluster and their surrounding genomic regions (±500 kbp) in IDH wt ( n = 55) and IDH mut ( n = 15) glioma samples, detected with the HM450K array. Hyper‐ and hypomethylated probes are in pink and light blue, respectively. (B) Genome Browser view at the HOXA cluster to show H3K4me3 enrichment, DNA methylation, the strand‐oriented RNA‐seq signal, and the correlation between these signatures in glioma samples (Glioma) and controls (Brain). (C) On the right panel, heatmap showing CpG site density and their mean methylation level in a ±5 kb window centered on the TSS of HOX genes enriched (upper) or depleted (lower) for H3K4me3 in IDH wt glioma samples compared with healthy controls (brain). The ChIP‐seq read density for H3K4me3 is shown on the left panel. (D) Genome Browser view at the HOXA5 and HOXD10 loci to show H3K4me3 and DNA methylation enrichment, and the strand‐oriented RNA‐seq signal in glioma samples (Glioma) and controls (Brain). In B to D, publicly available Glioma H3K4me3 data from IDH wt‐derived cell lines.
Article Snippet: ChIP‐seq data for the H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and histone H3 methylated at lysine 36 (H3K36me3) profiles were obtained from the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics project ( http://www.roadmapepigenomics.org/ ) (neural progenitor cells, NPCs, and brain samples) or from the GEO database (glioblastoma and GSC samples), as follows: NPC samples (H3K4me3: GSM818043, GSM772736.
