Transgenerational Disease Specific Epigenetic Sperm Biomarkers after Ancestral Exposure to Dioxin

ABSTRACT: Dioxin is one of the most common historic industrial contaminants with several major industry and government accidents having exposed large numbers of the worldwide population over the past century. Previous rat studies have demonstrated the ability of dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)) exposure to promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease susceptibility in subsequent generations. The types of disease observed include testis, ovary, kidney, prostate and obesity pathologies. The current study was designed to use an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) to identify potential sperm DNA methylation biomarkers for specific transgenerational diseases. The transgenerational F3 generation dioxin lineage male rats with and without a specific disease were compared to identify differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs). The genomic features of the DMRs are characterized. Observations demonstrate that disease specific epimutation DMRs exist for the transgenerational dioxin lineage rats that can potentially be used as epigenetic biomarkers for testis, ovary, kidney, prostate and obesity diseases. These disease specific DMRs were associated with genes that have previously been shown to be linked with these diseases. This EWAS for transgenerational disease identified epigenetic biomarkers and provides the proof of concept of the potential to develop similar biomarkers for humans to diagnose disease susceptibilities and facilitate preventative medicine.

Environmental Induced Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Pathology: Systems Epigenetics in Disease Etiology and Generational Toxicology

Project description:Several epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) have been shown to identify epigenetic alterations (i.e., epimutations) associated with diseases. The sperm epimutations potentially involved in the transgenerational inheritance of specific pathologies have been identified. Transgenerational sperm epimutations associated with kidney, prostate, puberty, testis, obesity, and multiple pathologies have been identified for a variety of environmental toxicants including dioxin, plastics, pesticides, glyphosate, methoxychlor, atrazine, and jet fuel. The transgenerational sperm epimutations for exposure and disease-specific epimutations have been identified in these EWAS studies. The current study used the information from these previous toxicant-induced epigenetic transgenerational inheritance EWAS rat studies and adds a comparable control group, rats that have not been exposed to any particular toxicant. Two additional control groups were collected and are presented here.

Dioxin (TCDD) Induces Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Adult Onset Disease and Sperm Epimutations

Project description:Environmental compounds can promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of adult-onset disease in subsequent generations following ancestral exposure during fetal gonadal sex determination. The current study examined the ability of dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo[p]dioxin, TCDD) to promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease and DNA methylation epimutations in sperm. Gestating F0 generation females were exposed to dioxin during fetal day 8 to 14 and adult-onset disease was evaluated in F1 and F3 generation rats. The incidences of total disease and multiple disease increased in F1 and F3 generations. Prostate disease, ovarian primordial follicle loss and polycystic ovary disease were increased in F1 generation dioxin lineage. Kidney disease in males, pubertal abnormalities in females, ovarian primordial follicle loss and polycystic ovary disease were increased in F3 generation dioxin lineage animals. Analysis of the F3 generation sperm epigenome identified 50 differentially DNA methylated regions (DMR) in gene promoters. These DMR provide potential epigenetic biomarkers for transgenerational disease and ancestral environmental exposures. Observations demonstrate dioxin exposure of a gestating female promotes epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of adult onset disease and sperm epimutations. Methylated sperm DNA was isolated from rats ancestrally exposed to dioxin (Hip). Three independent samples from the treatment group were obtained. Differential DNA methylation between treatment groups was determined using Nimblegen microarrays. Treated samples were paired with control samples and hybridized together on arrays (Hip1/Cip1, Hip2/Cip2, and Hip3/Cip3), resulting in three arrays for the treatment.

Epigenome-Wide Association Study (EWAS) Identifies Transgenerational Disease Biomarkers in Sperm Following Ancestral Exposure to the Pesticide Methoxychlor

Project description:Environmental exposures such as chemical toxicants can alter gene expression and disease susceptibility through epigenetic processes. Epigenetic changes can be passed to future generations through germ cells through epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of increased disease susceptibility. The current study used an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) to investigate whether specific transgenerational epigenetic signatures of differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) exist that are associated with particular disease states in the F3 generation great-grand offspring of F0 generation rats exposed during gestation to the agricultural pesticide methoxychlor. The transgenerational epigenetic profile of sperm from F3 generation methoxychlor lineage rats that have only one disease state was compared to those that have no disease. Observations identify disease specific patterns of DMRs for these transgenerational rats that can potentially serve as epigenetic biomarkers for prostate disease, kidney disease, obesity, and the presence of multiple diseases. The chromosomal locations, genomic features, and gene associations of the DMRs are characterized. Disease specific DMR sets contained DMR associated genes that have previously been shown to be associated with that specific disease. Future epigenetic biomarkers could potentially be developed and validated for humans as a disease susceptibility diagnostic tool to facilitate preventative medicine and management of disease.

Ancestral Plastics Exposure Induces Transgenerational Disease Specific Sperm Epigenome-Wide Association Biomarkers Methylation Epimutation Biomarkers for Specific Transgenerational Disease

Project description:Plastic derived compounds are one of the most frequent daily world-wide exposures. Previously a mixture of plastic derived toxicants involving bisphenol A (BPA), Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) at lower dose exposures of a gestating female rat were found to promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease to the offspring (F1 generation), grand-offspring (F2 generation) and great-grand-offspring (F3 generation). Epigenetic analysis of the male sperm was found to result in differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) in the transgenerational F3 generation male sperm. The current study is distinct and was designed to identify potential sperm DNA methylation biomarkers for specific transgenerational diseases. Observations show disease specific DMRs called epimutations in the transgenerational F3 generation great-grand-offspring rats ancestrally exposed to plastics. The epigenetic DMR biomarkers were identified for testis disease, kidney disease, and multiple (≥2) diseases. These disease sperm epimutation biomarkers were found to be predominantly disease specific. The genomic locations and features of these DMRs were identified. Interestingly, the disease specific DMR associated genes were previously shown to be linked with each of the specific diseases. Therefore, the germline has ancestrally derived epimutations that potentially transmit transgenerational disease susceptibilities. Epigenetic biomarkers for specific diseases could be used as diagnostics to facilitate clinical management of disease and preventative medicine.

Environmental Toxicants Induce Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Ovarian Disease

Project description:The epigenetic transgenerational actions of environmental toxicants and relevant mixtures on ovarian disease was investigated with the use of a fungicide, a pesticide mixture, a plastic mixture, dioxin and a hydrocarbon mixture. After transient exposure of an F0 gestating female rat during embryonic gonadal sex determination, the F1, F2 and F3 generation progeny adult onset ovarian disease was assessed. Transgenerational disease phenotypes observed included an increase in cysts resembling human polycystic ovarian disease (PCO) and a decrease in the ovarian primordial follicle pool size resembling premature ovarian failure (POF). The F3 generation granulosa cells were isolated and found to have a transgenerational effect on the transcriptome and epigenome (differential DNA methylation). Epigenetic biomarkers for environmental exposure and associated gene networks were identified. Epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of ovarian disease states were induced by different classes of environmental compounds suggesting a role of environmental epigenetics in ovarian disease etiology. We used transcriptome microarray analysis to determine genes expressed differentially between F3 control and F3 vinclozolin lineage rat ovary granulosa cell and see which genes might be connected to or cause observed ovary diseases RNA samples from granulosa cell of 3 F3-control lineage groups are compared to granulosa cell of 3 F3-vinclozolin lineage groups

Epigenome-Wide Association Study for Pesticide (Permethrin and DEET) Induced DNA Methylation Epimutation Biomarkers for Specific Transgenerational Disease

Project description:Permethrin and N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) are the pesticides and insect repellent most commonly used by humans. These pesticides have been shown to promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease in rats. The current study was designed as an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) to identify potential sperm differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) for specific transgenerational disease. Outbred Sprague Dawley gestating female rats (F0) were exposed to the pesticide combination including Permethrin and DEET. Their great-grand offspring (F3) were only transgenerationally exposed to pesticides. The transgenerational adult male rat sperm were collected from individuals with single and multiple diseases and compared to non-diseased animals to identify DMRs associated with transgenerational disease transmission. The exposure of gestating female rats to a permethrin and DEET pesticide combination promoted testis disease, prostate disease, kidney disease, and the presence of multiple disease in the subsequent great-grand offspring F3 generation. Interestingly, the majority of the disease specific sperm DMR associated genes were previously found to be linked to relevant disease specific genes.

Epigenome-Wide Association Study for Transgenerational Disease Epimutation Sperm Biomarkers following Ancestral Exposure to Jet Fuel Hydrocarbons

Project description:Jet fuel hydrocarbons is the generic name for aviation fuels used in gas-turbine engine powered aircrafts. Due to the widespread use of jet fuel hydrocarbons, this compound has been recognized as the single largest chemical exposure for military personnel. Previous animal studies have demonstrated the ability of jet fuel (JP-8) exposure to promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease susceptibility in subsequent generations. The diseases observed include late puberty, kidney, obesity and multiple disease pathologies. The current study was designed to identify potential sperm DNA methylation biomarkers for specific transgenerational diseases. Observations identify few disease specific differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) called epimutations in the transgenerational F3 generation great-grand-offspring rats ancestrally exposed to jet fuel. The potential epigenetic DMRs were identified for late puberty, kidney, obesity, and multiple diseases, and found to be predominantly disease specific. These disease specific DMRs have associated genes previously shown to be linked with each of these specific diseases. Therefore, the germline (i.e. sperm) has environmentally induced ancestrally derived epimutations that have the potential to transgenerationally transmit disease susceptibilities to subsequent generations. Epigenetic biomarkers for specific diseases could be developed as medical diagnostics to facilitate clinical management of disease and allow preventative medicine therapeutics.

Epigenome-Wide Association Study for Atrazine Induced Transgenerational Histone Retention Sperm Epigenetic Biomarkers for Disease

Project description:Atrazine is a common agricultural herbicide previously shown to promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease to subsequent generations. The current study was designed as an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) to identify transgenerational sperm disease associated differential histone retention regions (DHRs). Gestating female F0 generation rats were transiently exposed to atrazine during the period of embryonic gonadal sex determination, and then subsequent F1, F2, and F3 generations obtained in the absence of any continued exposure. The transgenerational F3 generation males were assessed for disease and sperm collected for epigenetic analysis. Pathology was observed in late pubertal onset and for testis disease, prostate disease, kidney disease, lean pathology, and multiple disease. For these pathologies, sufficient numbers of individual males with only a single specific disease were identified. The sperm DNA and chromatin were isolated from adult one-year animals with the specific diseases and analyzed for DHRs with histone chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing. Transgenerational F3 generation males with or without disease were compared to identify the disease specific epimutation biomarkers. No common DHRs were found among all the pathologies. Epimutation gene associations were identified and found to correlate to previously known disease linked genes.
