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.

Modulation of the mouse liver epigenome following TCPOBOP exposure

Project description:Changes in the activating histone-H3 chromatin marks K4me1, K4me3, and K27ac were assayed in male mouse liver following exposure to TCPOBOP, an agonist ligand of the nuclear receptor CAR (constitutive androstane receptor). This work is part of a larger study, entitled: "Widespread Epigenetic Changes to the Enhancer Landscape of Mouse Liver Induced by a Specific Xenobiotic Agonist Ligand of the Nuclear Receptor CAR" (Tox Sci, 2019).

A Transcriptomic Dataset of Embryonic Murine Telencephalon

Project description:Sex bias is known in the prevalence/pathology of neurodevelopmental disorders. Sex-dependent differences of the certain brain areas are known to emerge perinatally through the exposure to sex hormones, while gene expression patterns in the rodent embryonic brain does not seem to be completely the same between male and female. To investigate potential sex differences in gene expression and cortical organization during the embryonic period in mice, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of gene expression for the telencephalon at embryonic day (E) 11.5 (a peak of neural stem cell expansion) and E14.5 (a peak of neurogenesis) using bulk RNA-seq data. As a result, our data showed the existence of notable sex differences in gene expression patterns not obviously at E11.5, but clearly at E14.5 when neurogenesis has become its peak. These data can be useful for exploring potential contribution of genes exhibiting sex differences to the divergence in brain development. Additionally, our data underscore the significance of studying the embryonic period to gain a deeper understanding of sex differences in brain development.

RNA Sequencing Reveals Sex Differences in Transcriptional Changes in Muscle Tissue in Response to Muscle Pain in Sedentary and Physically Active Mice

Project description:The goal of this study was to use RNA sequencing to identify sex specific transcriptional changes in the development of muscle pain and uncover novel mechanisms through which physical activity prevents the onset of muscle pain. We performed bulk RNA sequencing of the gastrocnemius muscle which is where we induce muscle pain. We found distinct sex differences in the transcriptional alterations in the muscle following induction of muscle pain. We also identified several pathways in which exercise was able to prevent against the development of muscle pain.

Adult sex change leads to extensive forebrain reorganization in clownfish

Project description:Sex differences in the brain have been demonstrated in all major vertebrate lineages but are not well understood at a molecular and cellular level. Sex-changing fishes provide a unique opportunity to uncover mechanisms underlying sexual differentiation of the brain and regulation of sexual phenotypes. Sex change requires the complete transformation of the gonads and behaviors, which in turn require transformation of sexually-differentiated control mechanisms in the brain. However, detailed molecular and cellular profiling of sex differences in the brains of sex-changing fish is lacking. In this study we applied single nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) to generate the first atlas of sex differences in preoptic area (POA) and telencephalon of the model anemonefish Amphiprion ocellaris. We uncovered remarkably widespread sex differences in cell-type abundance and cell-type transcriptome. The most prominent difference was observed in the dorsal medial telencephalon where females displayed more than twice as many glutamatergic neurons as males and more than 400 differentially expressed genes consistent with immature neuronal development in males relative to females. These results provide an unparalleled level of depth to our understanding of sexual differentiation in the brain of a sex-changing fish, and richly characterizes numerous specific sexual dimorphisms that must develop during sex change.

Fetal origin of sex-bias brain aging

Project description:DNA methylation plays crucial roles during fetal development as well as aging. Whether the aging of the brain is programmed at the fetal stage remains untested. To test this hypothesis, mouse epigenetic clock (epiclock) was profiled in fetal (gestation day 15), postnatal (day 5), and aging (week 70) brain of male and female C57BL/6J inbred mice. Data analysis showed that on week 70, the female brain was epigenetically younger than the male brain. Predictive modeling by neural network identified specific methylations in the brain at the developing stages that were predictive of epigenetic state of the brain during aging. Transcriptomic analysis showed coordinated changes in the expression of epiclock genes in the fetal brain relative to the placenta. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing identified sites that were methylated both in the placenta and fetal brain in a sex-specific manner. Epiclock genes and genes associated with specific signaling pathways, primarily the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) pathway, were associated with the sex-bias methylations in the placenta as well as the fetal brain. Transcriptional crosstalk among the epiclock and GnRHR pathway genes was evident in the placenta that was maintained in the brain during development as well as aging. Collectively, these findings suggest that sex differences in the aging of the brain are of fetal origin and epigenetically linked to the placenta.
