Parental exposure to environmental stress results in evolutionarily conserved intergenerational changes in offspring gene expression

ABSTRACT: These data demonstrate that parental exposure to bacterial infection and osmotic stress intergenerational changes in offspring gene expression in C. elegans, C. kamaaina, C. briggsae and C. tropicalis. Many of these intergenerational changes in gene expression are observed in multiple species and this data identified >250 genes that exhibit intergenerational changes in expression in all species tested.

Paternal diet defines offspring chromatin state and intergenerational obesity.

Project description:The global rise in obesity has revitalized a search to understand genetic, and in particular, epigenetic factors underlying the disease. We present a Drosophila model of paternal-diet-induced Inter-Generational Metabolic Reprogramming (IGMR) and identify genes required for its encoding in offspring. Intriguingly, we find that as little as two days of dietary intervention in fathers elicits obesity in offspring. Paternal sugar acts as a physiological suppressor of variegation, de-silencing chromatin state-defined transcriptional units in both mature sperm and in offspring embryos. We identify requirements for H3K9/K27me3 dependent reprogramming of metabolic genes in two distinct germline and zygotic windows. Critically, we find evidence that a similar system regulates obesity-susceptibility and phenotype variation in mice and humans. The findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying intergenerational metabolic reprogramming and carry profound implications for our understanding of phenotypic variation and evolution.

The Effects of Parental School Exclusion on Offspring Drug Use: An Intergenerational Path Analysis.

Project description:To determine whether and how exclusionary school punishment experienced by parents affects the drug use of their offspring. Using panel data of 360 parent-child dyads from the Rochester Youth Developmental Study and its intergenerational component, the Rochester Intergenerational Study, we conduct path analysis to evaluate the adequacy of a theoretical model that explicates the intergenerational pathways from parental school exclusion to offspring drug use. Parents who were suspended or expelled during adolescence are more likely to drop out of school, which, in turn, leads to parental adult drug use, economic hardship, and ineffective parenting of their children. As a result, their offspring are likely to hold attitudes/beliefs favoring drug use and have reduced bonding to school, which, ultimately, contribute to offspring drug use. Exclusionary school disciplinary practices not only result in a number of adverse collateral consequences within one generation of respondents, the negative effects of such experiences are also felt by the next generation. Therefore, exclusionary school punishment should only be used as a last resort. Whenever possible, disciplinary practices in school need to involve inclusionary efforts to re-integrate students into the larger school community.

Parental energy-sensing pathways control intergenerational offspring sex determination in the nematode Auanema freiburgensis.

Project description:BackgroundEnvironmental stimuli experienced by the parental generation influence the phenotype of subsequent generations (Demoinet et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 114:E2689-E2698, 2017; Burton et al., Nat Cell Biol 19:252-257, 2017; Agrawal et al., Nature 401:60-63, 1999). The effects of these stimuli on the parental generation may be passed through the germline, but the mechanisms at the basis of this non-Mendelian type of inheritance, their level of conservation, how they lead to adaptive vs non-adaptive, and intergenerational vs transgenerational inheritance are poorly understood. Here we show that modulation of nutrient-sensing pathways in the parental generation of the nematode Auanema freiburgensis regulates phenotypic plasticity of its offspring.ResultsIn response to con-specific pheromones indicative of stress, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), and insulin signaling regulate stress resistance and sex determination across one generation, and these effects can be mimicked by pathway modulators. The effectors of these pathways are closely associated with the chromatin, and their regulation affects the chromatin acetylation status in the germline.ConclusionThese results suggest that highly conserved metabolic sensors regulate phenotypic plasticity through regulation of subcellular localization of their effectors, leading to changes in chromatin acetylation and epigenetic status of the germline.

Parental Preconception Adversity and Offspring Health in African Americans: A Systematic Review of Intergenerational Studies.

Project description:Background: This systematic review explores the empirical literature addressing the association between parental preconception adversity and offspring physical health in African-American families. Method: We conducted a literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus through June 2021. Articles were included if they: reported data about at least two generations of African-American participants from the same family; measured parental preconception adversity at the individual level; measured at least one offspring physical health outcome; and examined associations between parental adversity and child health. Results: We identified 701 unique articles; thirty-eight articles representing 30 independent studies met inclusion criteria. Twenty-five studies (83%) reported that parental preconception adversity was associated with child health; six studies (20%) reported that parental preconception adversity was not associated with at least one offspring outcome; several studies reported both. Only six studies (20%) reported an association specific to African Americans. Conclusion: Empirical evidence linking parental preconception adversity with offspring physical health in African Americans is limited and mixed. In the current literature, very few studies report evidence addressing intergenerational associations between parental preconception adversity and offspring physical health in the African-American population, specifically, and even fewer investigate forms of parental preconception adversity that have been shown to disproportionately affect African Americans (e.g., racism). To better understand root causes of racial health disparities, more rigorous systematic research is needed to address how intergenerational transmission of historical and ongoing race-based trauma may impact offspring health among African Americans.

Intergenerational consequences of gene-environment induced epigenetic dynamics at rDNA in the mouse (RRBS)

Project description:The ability of environmental exposures in one generation to elicit phenotypic outcomes in subsequent generations suggests that DNA is not the sole vehicle of biological heredity. Such non-genetic inheritance has been demonstrated in a variety of non-mammalian species but, to date, has remained controversial and inadequately characterised in mammals. Here, we show that early life protein restriction (PR) in mice alters DNA methylation at specific genetic variants of multi-copy ribosomal DNA (rDNA), to produce a linear correlation with the extent of growth restriction induced by PR. These effects are common to soma and germ-line and are concomitant with changes in the relative abundance of the responsive rDNA genetic variant. Intergenerational pedigree analysis reveals that rDNA genetic correlations are abolished between directly exposed males and their unexposed offspring, and epigenetic correlations are gained. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first direct demonstration in mammals of epigenetic dynamics induced by gene-environment interactions. Our work confirms rDNA as an evolutionarily conserved target of nutritional insults and intergenerational effects in flies, yeast, and now mice.
