Plant cells grown in culture exhibit genetic and epigenetic instability. Using a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation and DNA methylation profiling on tiling microarrays, we have mapped the location and abundance of histone and DNA modifications in a continuously proliferating, dedifferentiated cell suspension culture of Arabidopsis. We have found that euchromatin becomes hypermethylated in culture and that a small percentage of the hypermethylated genes become associated with heterochromatic marks. In contrast, the heterochromatin undergoes dramatic and very precise DNA hypomethylation with transcriptional activation of specific transposable elements (TEs) in culture. High throughput sequencing of small interfering RNA (siRNA) revealed that TEs activated in culture have increased levels of 21-nucleotide (nt) siRNA, sometimes at the expense of the 24-nt siRNA class. In contrast, TEs that remain silent, which match the predominant 24-nt siRNA class, do not change significantly in their siRNA profiles. These results implicate RNA interference and chromatin modification in epigenetic restructuring of the genome following the activation of TEs in immortalized cell culture. Cultured plant cells are genetically and epigenetically unstable. We investigated the epigenomic consequences of long-term plant cell culture and found that some genes show an increase in DNA methylation, reminiscent of immortalized animal cell lines and cancer cells. By contrast, in the heterochromatic portion of the genome, some transposable elements (TE), undergo dramatic and very precise loss of DNA methylation and transcriptional activation. The reactivated TEs in culture are also accompanied by a production of 21-nucleotide (nt) small RNAs. In contrast, TEs that remain methylated and silent retain the predominant class of 24-nt small RNAs, and do not change significantly in their small RNA profiles. Our results implicate RNA interference in epigenetic restructuring of the genome following the activation of TEs in immortalized cell culture. Immortalized plant cells undergo epigenomic changes, reminiscent of immortalized animal cell lines and cancer cells, accompanied by shifts in small RNA classes, implicating a role for the RNAi machinery in regulating the epigenome.
