The histone H3 K4me3, K27me3 and K27ac genome-wide dis-tributions are differently influenced by sex in brain cortexes and gastrocnemius of the Alzheimer’s disease PSAPP mouse model


ABSTRACT: Background: Women represent the majority of Alzheimer’s disease patients and show typical symptoms. Genetic, hormonal and behavioral mechanisms have been proposed to explain gender differences in dementia prevalence. Whether sex differences exist in the epigenetic landscape of neuronal tissue during the progression of the disease is unknown. Methods: To investigate the differences of histone H3 modifications important for transcription we determined the ge-nome-wide profiles in K4me3, K27ac and K27me3 from brain cortexes of an Alzheimer mouse model (PSAPP). Gastrocnemius muscles were also tested since they are known to be different in the two sexes and are affected during the disease progression. Results: Correlation analysis dis-tinguished the samples based on sex for H3K4me3 and H3K27met3 but not for H3K27ac. The analysis of TSS signal distribution and of bounding sites revealed that the epigenetic landscape of gastrocnemius is more influenced than brain by sex, with the exception of H3K27me3 distribution on the X chromosome which showed sex-related differences in promoters belonging to behavior and cellular/ neuronal spheres in mice cortexes. Conclusions: The epigenetic landscape is slightly affected by sex in brain, with the exception of H3K27me3. On the other hand, a higher number of differences can be found in gastrocnemius.
