Cigarette smoking significantly alters sperm DNA methylation patterns

ABSTRACT: Numerous health consequences of tobacco smoke exposure have been characterized, and the effects of smoking on traditional measures of male fertility are well described. However, a growing body of data indicates that pre‐conception paternal smoking also confers increased risk for a number of morbidities on offspring. The mechanism for this increased risk has not been elucidated, but it is likely mediated, at least in part, through epigenetic modifications transmitted through spermatozoa. In this study, we investigated the impact of cigarette smoke exposure on sperm DNA methylation patterns in 78 men who smoke and 78 never‐smokers using the Infinium Human Methylation 450 beadchip. We investigated two models of DNA methylation alterations: (i) consistently altered methylation at specific CpGs or within specific genomic regions and (ii) stochastic DNA methylation alterations manifest as increased variability in genome‐wide methylation patterns in men who smoke. We identified 141 significantly differentially methylated CpGs associated with smoking. In addition, we identified a trend toward increased variance in methylation patterns genome‐wide in sperm DNA from men who smoke compared with never‐smokers. These findings of widespread DNA methylation alterations are consistent with the broad range of offspring heath disparities associated with pre‐conception paternal smoke exposure and warrant further investigation to identify the specific mechanism by which sperm DNA methylation perturbation confers risk to offspring health and whether these changes can be transmitted to offspring and transgenerationally.

NRF2 loss recapitulates heritable impacts of paternal cigarette smoke exposure (RRBS)

Project description:There is growing evidence that paternal pre-conception cigarette smoke (CS) exposure is associated with increased risk of behavioral disorders and cancer in offspring. To characterize the effects of CS exposure on the sperm epigenome and offspring neurodevelopment, we investigated the impact of pre-conception paternal CS exposure on mouse sperm DNA methylation and gene expression in offspring. We further investigated the role of oxidative stress on sperm epigenetic changes using a mouse model (Nrf-/-) with impaired antioxidant capacity. Lastly, we evaluated the capacity for sperm DNA methylation to recover following removal of CS for 1-5 spermatogenic cycles (28-171 days). We found that smoking significantly impacts sperm DNA methylation as well as DNA methylation and gene expression in offspring. These changes were largely recapitulated in Nrf-/- mice independent of smoke exposure. Recovery experiments indicated that about half of differentially methylated regions returned to normal within 28 days of removal from smoke, however additional recovery following longer periods was not observed. Thus, we present strong evidence that cigarette smoke exposure induces paternally mediated, heritable epigenetic changes. Parallel studies performed in Nrf-/- mice provide evidence for oxidative stress as the predominant underlying mechanism for smoke-induced epigenetic changes to sperm as well as changes in the offspring of smoke-exposed sires. Lastly, recovery experiments indicate that while many epigenetic changes are corrected following removal from smoke exposure, aberrant methylation persists at a significant number of regions even after five spermatogenic cycles

DNA methylation profiling in lungs tissues of smokers and patients with COPD

Project description:Epigenetics changes have been shown to be affected by cigarette smoking. It is possible that cigarette smoke (CS)-mediated DNA methylation would affect several cellular and pathophysiological processes, acute exacerbations, and comorbidity in lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We sought to determine whether genome-wide lung DNA methylation profiles of smokers and patients with COPD were significantly different from non-smokers. We isolated DNA from lung tissues of patients including 8 lifelong non-smokers, 8 current smokers, and 8 patients with COPD, and subsequently analyzed the samples using the Illumina’s Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip.

Epigenetic programming of human sperm

Project description:The WGBS data was published in PMID: 31393794 and the sequencing data from WGBS and MCC-Seq have been submitted to the European Genome-phenome Archive under the accession number EGAS00001003617. The paternal environment including stress, diet and toxicants has been linked to infertility and negative outcomes for offspring such as birth defects and adult onset of disease. Such effects may be transmitted via sperm through epigenetic mechanisms. To date, in depth profiling of the sperm epigenome in men has been limited. Our objective was to characterize the sperm profile of histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) from a reference population of men and relate this to sperm DNA methylation. ChIP-seq targeting H3K4me3 was performed on sperm from a representative reference population of 30 men and then overlapped with whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) data from the same men. Our analysis revealed that H3K4me3 is localized throughout the genome and at genes for fertility and development. Remarkably, enrichment was also found at regions that escape epigenetic reprogramming in primordial germ cells, embryonic enhancers and SINEs. The level of H3K4me3 in sperm associates with the degree of gene expression in embryo development. We find significant overlap in H3K4me3 and DNA methylation throughout the genome suggesting potential for the development of a personalized medicine approach for the assessment of fertility, lifestyle and environmental exposures.

Discovery and capture of novel dynamic DNA methylation in human sperm with preferential links to altered folate metabolism

Project description:The sperm DNA methylation landscape is unique and critical for offspring health. If gamete-derived DNA methylation escapes reprogramming in early embryos, epigenetic defects in sperm may be transmitted to the next generation. Current techniques to assess sperm DNA methylation show bias towards CpG dense regions and do not target areas of dynamic methylation, those predicted to be environmentally sensitive and tunable regulatory elements. Thus, this study aim to assess variation in human sperm DNA methylation and design a targeted capture panel to interrogate the human sperm methylome.

Expression data from adult mouse testis exposed to cigarette smoke in utero

Project description:In the context of male reproductive health, epidemiological studies have observed reduced testis size and abnormal sperm counts and morphology in adult men exposed in utero, although these findings are not always repeated. The ambiguity of these reports is confounded by a lack of controlled animal studies investigating the effects of maternal cigarette smoke exposure on male offspring reproductive health. In this study we examined the effects of cigarette induced reproductive toxicity on male offspring exposed during the gestational and weaning period using our novel direct nasal exposure mouse model of cigarette smoke-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and female subfertility. This was done too gain a better understanding of the adverse effects of gestational maternal smoking on male offspring fertility. C57BL/6 5 week-old female mice were exposed via the nose-only to cigarette smoke [twelve 3R4F reference cigarettes (University of Kentucky, USA) twice/day, five times per week, for 12-18 weeks]. Each exposure lasted 60 minutes. Control mice received room air. In total, 27 mice underwent cigarette smoke exposure. Eleven week-old female mice exposed to cigarette smoke for 6 weeks were separated into groups of three and housed with a single control stud male aged 7-8 weeks with proven fertility for a maximum of 12 weeks. Females were monitored every second day for post-coital plugs and pregnancy. Pregnant females were separated into single cages and litter sizes/pup weights recorded. Smoke exposure via dams continued throughout mating/pregnancy/lactation until weaning of pups at 21days post birth. The testis of exposed offspring were then collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on an Illumina Sentrix Mouse ref-8 v2 Beadchip

Use of spermatozoal total RNA profiles to study gene-environment interactions in human germ cells

Project description:Paternal exposure to genotoxic compounds is thought to contribute to diseases in their offspring. Therefore, mRNA profiles from sperm in ejaculates of cigarette smokers (N=4) were compared with non-smokers (N=4). Smoking behaviour was verified by assessing cotinine levels in seminal plasma. Gene-expression analysis was subsequently performed using microarray technology (Agilent human 4x44k) to investigate the use of gene-expression profiling as biomarker of gene-environment interactions in human testis

A Multi-omics Study of Epigenetic Changes in Type II Alveolar Cells of A/J Mice Exposed to Environmental Tobacco Smoke

Project description:Lung cancer remains a major contributor to cancer fatalities, with cigarette smoking known to be responsible for up to 80% of cases. Based on the ability of cigarette smoke to induce inflammation in the lungs and increased lung cancer incidence in smokers with inflammatory conditions such as COPD, we hypothesized that inflammation plays an important role in carcinogenicity of cigarette smoke. In order to test this hypothesis, we performed multi-omic analyses of Type II pneumocytes of A/J mice exposed to cigarette smoke for various time periods. We found that cigarette smoke exposure resulted in significant changes in DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation, gene expression patterns, and protein abundance that were partially reversible and contributed to an inflammatory and potentially oncogenic phenotype.
