DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation have been implicated in normal development and differentiation, but our knowledge is limited about the genome-wide distribution of 5-methylcytosine (5 mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5 hmC) during cellular differentiation. Using an in vitro model system of gradual differentiation of human embryonic stem (hES) cells into ventral midbrain-type neural precursor cells and terminally into dopamine neurons, we observed dramatic genome-wide changes in 5 mC and 5… 

Figures from this paper

Epigenetic regulation of embryonic and intestinal stem cells by DNA hydroxymethylation
TLDR
It is demonstrated that Tet1-mediated DNA hydroxymethylation is important for the self-renewal of the intestinal epithelium and contributes to both transcriptional activation and repression for epigenetic gene regulation in stem cells.
Dynamic Transcriptome, DNA Methylome, and DNA Hydroxymethylome Networks During T-Cell Lineage Commitment
The stepwise development of T cells from a multipotent precursor is guided by diverse mechanisms, including interactions among lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs) and epigenetic changes,
DNA hydroxymethylation and methylation dynamics during neural differentiation
TLDR
Analysis of genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC patterns in ESCs, neural stem cells (NSCs) and astrocytes supported the hypothesis that dynamic changes in the distribution of both modifications contribute to neural specification, and striking differences in 5hC levels between in vitro- and in vivo-derived samples were observed.
DNA Methylation in Neuronal Development and Disease
TLDR
This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the roles of methylation and hydroxymethylation in brain development, functions and their dysregulation in brain disorders and discusses the current understanding of these epigenetic marks in normal neuronal development as well as brain function.
5-hydroxymethylcytosine and gene activity in mouse intestinal differentiation
TLDR
It is reported that 5hmC levels undergo highly dynamic changes during adult stem cell differentiation from intestinal progenitors to differentiated intestinal epithelium and data support a gene regulatory role for5hmC that is predominant over its role in controlling DNA methylation states.
Role and regulation of TET-mediated DNA modifications in gene expression
TLDR
New insights are provided how TET proteins can set DNA modifications, how these oxidized bases are read by various factors and how T ET proteins can be posttranslationally modified.
Cell-Wide DNA De-Methylation and Re-Methylation of Purkinje Neurons in the Developing Cerebellum
TLDR
A large scale de-methylation and subsequent re- methylation (CDR) is observed in post-mitotic cerebellar Purkinje cells (PC) through the course of normal development, a key step toward better understanding the breadth and role of DNA methylation and de-ethylation during neural ontology.
Stable 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) Acquisition Marks Gene Activation During Chondrogenic Differentiation.
TLDR
5hmC gains in regulatory promoter and enhancer regions as well as in gene bodies were strongly associated with activated but not repressed genes, indicating a potential regulatory role for DNA hydroxymethylation in chondrogenic gene expression.
5-hydroxymethylcytosine represses the activity of enhancers in embryonic stem cells: a new epigenetic signature for gene regulation
TLDR
It is suggested that 5hmC is a new epigenetic mark for silenced enhancers, and has a repressive role at specific proximal and distal regulatory regions in mESCs, and is inversely correlated with RNA polymerase II occupancy.
DNA Methylation Landscapes of Human Fetal Development
TLDR
The analysis of gene expression data indicated that dynamic DNA methylation was associated with the progressive repression of developmental programs and the activation of genes involved in tissue-specific processes, which provides insight into regulatory elements that guide tissue specification and lead to organ functionality.

Dynamic hydroxymethylation of deoxyribonucleic acid marks differentiation-associated enhancers
TLDR
Functional annotation reveals that regions gaining 5hmC are associated with genes expressed either in neural tissues when P19 cells undergo neural differentiation or in adipose tissue when 3T3-L1 cells undergo adipocyte differentiation, and acquisition of5hmC in cell-specific distal regulatory regions may represent a major event of enhancer progression toward an active state.
Targets and dynamics of promoter DNA methylation during early mouse development
TLDR
This work optimized methylated DNA immunoprecipitation for low numbers of cells and profiled DNA methylation during early development of the mouse embryonic lineage in vivo, suggesting that escape of post-fertilizationDNA methylation reprogramming is prevalent in the mouse genome.
Dynamic regulation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in mouse ES cells and during differentiation
TLDR
The balance between hydroxymethylation and methylation in the genome is inextricably linked with the balance between pluripotency and lineage commitment.

TLDR
This study provides valuable methylation markers for the lineage commitment of in vitro hepatogenesis and should help elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying stem cell differentiation and liver development.

Dual functions of Tet1 in transcriptional regulation in mouse embryonic stem cells
TLDR
This study shows in mouse ES cells that Tet1 is preferentially bound to CpG-rich sequences at promoters of both transcriptionally active and Polycomb-repressed genes, and reveals a dual function of Tet1 in promoting transcription of pluripotency factors as well as participating in the repression ofPolycomb-targeted developmental regulators.
5-hmC–mediated epigenetic dynamics during postnatal neurodevelopment and aging
TLDR
The mapped 5-hmC genome-wide in mouse hippocampus and cerebellum at three different ages allowed us to assess its stability and dynamic regulation during postnatal neurodevelopment through adulthood, and found developmentally programmed acquisition of 5-HMC in neuronal cells.
Role of Tet proteins in 5mC to 5hmC conversion, ES-cell self-renewal and inner cell mass specification
TLDR
It is demonstrated that all three mouse Tet proteins (Tet1, Tet2 and Tet3) can also catalyse a similar reaction, uncover the enzymatic activity of the Tet proteins, and demonstrate a role for Tet1 in ES cell maintenance and inner cell mass cell specification.
