Ten-Eleven-Translocase (TET) enzymes contribute to the regulation of the methylome via successive oxidation of 5-methyl cytosine (5mC) to derivatives which can be actively removed by base-excision-repair (BER) mechanisms in the absence of cell division. This is particularly important in post-mitotic neurons where changes in DNA methylation are known to associate with changes in neural function. TET3, specifically, is a critical regulator of both neuronal differentiation in development and mediates dynamic changes in the methylome of adult neurons associated with cognitive function. While DNA methylation is understood to regulate transcription, little is known of the specific targets of TET3-dependent catalytic activity in neurons. We report the results of an unbiased transcriptome analysis of the neuroblastoma-derived cell line; Neuro2A, in which Tet3 was silenced. Oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) was identified as the most significantly down-regulated functional canonical pathway, and these findings were confirmed by measurements of oxygen consumption rate in the Seahorse bioenergetics analyser. The mRNA levels of both nuclear- and mitochondrial-encoded OxPhos genes were reduced by Tet3-silencing, but we found no evidence for differential (hydroxy)methylation deposition at these gene loci. However, the mRNA expression of genes known to be involved in mitochondrial quality control were also shown to be significantly downregulated in the absence of TET3. One of these genes; EndoG, was identified as a direct target of TET3-catalytic activity at non-CpG methylated sites within its gene body. Accordingly, we propose that aberrant mitochondrial homeostasis may contribute to the decrease in OxPhos, observed upon Tet3-downregulation in Neuro2A cells.
10-11易位酶(TET)通过将5-甲基胞嘧啶(5mC)连续氧化为衍生物来调节甲基化组,这些衍生物可在无细胞分裂的情况下通过碱基切除修复(BER)机制被主动去除。这在有丝分裂后的神经元中尤为重要,已知DNA甲基化的变化与神经功能的变化相关。具体而言,TET3是发育中神经元分化的关键调节因子,并介导与认知功能相关的成年神经元甲基化组的动态变化。虽然已知DNA甲基化可调节转录,但对于TET3依赖性催化活性在神经元中的具体靶点知之甚少。我们报告了对神经母细胞瘤衍生细胞系Neuro2A进行无偏差转录组分析的结果,其中Tet3被沉默。氧化磷酸化(OxPhos)被确定为下调最显著的功能性经典途径,并且通过在海马生物能量分析仪中测量氧消耗率证实了这些发现。Tet3沉默降低了核编码和线粒体编码的OxPhos基因的mRNA水平,但我们没有发现这些基因位点存在差异(羟基)甲基化沉积的证据。然而,已知参与线粒体质量控制的基因的mRNA表达在没有TET3的情况下也显示出显著下调。其中一个基因EndoG被确定为TET3催化活性在其基因体内非CpG甲基化位点的直接靶点。因此,我们提出异常的线粒体稳态可能导致在Neuro2A细胞中Tet3下调时观察到的OxPhos降低。
