Project description:Reprogramming in vivo using OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC (OSKM) triggers cell dedifferentiation, which is considered of relevance for tissue repair and regeneration. However, little is known about the metabolic requirements of this process. We found that antibiotic depletion of the gut microbiota abolished in vivo reprogramming. Analysis of bacterial metagenomes from stool samples of wild type (WT) and OSKM mice treated with doxycycline led us to identify vitamin B12 as a key factor for in vivo reprogramming, which is partly supplied by the microbiome. We report that B12 demand increases during reprogramming due to enhanced expression of enzymes in the methionine cycle, and supplementing B12 levels both in vitro and in vivo enhances the efficiency of OSKM reprogramming.

Project description:Background: Chronic stress significantly contributes to mood- and anxiety disorders. Previous data suggest a correlative connection between vitamin B12 supplementation, depression, and stress resilience. However, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Methods: Using the chronic variable stress mouse model coupled with RNA-sequencing, we determined vitamin B12-induced transcriptional changes related to stress resilience. By viral-mediated gene transfer and in vivo epigenome editing, we reveal a functional pathway linking vitamin B12, DNA methylation, and depressive-like symptoms. Results: We identified Transthyretin (Ttr) as a sex-specific key target of vitamin B12 action in chronic stress. Accordingly, TTR expression was increased postmortem in the prefrontal cortex of male, but not female, depressed patients. Virally altered Ttr in the prefrontal cortex functionally contributed to stress- and depression-related behaviors, changes in dendritic spine morphology, and gene expression. In stressed mice, vitamin B12 reduced DNAme in the Ttr promoter region. Importantly, using in vivo epigenome editing to alter DNAme in the brains of living mice for the first time, we establish a direct causal link between DNAme on Ttr and stress-associated behaviors. Discussion: In summary, using state-of-the-art techniques, this study uncovers a mechanistic link between cobalamin supplementation, Ttr, and markers of chronic stress and depression, encouraging further studies into dietary interventions for mood disorders.

Project description:The transcriptome in response to vitamin B12 was interrogated in three M. tuberculosis Complex species: M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. tuberculosis GC1237, and M. bovis AF2122/97. Examination of the core B12 transcriptome resulted in a robust differential regulation of 7 genes in the three species analysed

Project description:Folate, and its synthetic form folic acid, function as donor of one-carbon units and have been, together with other B-vitamins, implicated in programming of epigenetic processes such as DNA methylation during early development. To what extent regulation of DNA methylation can be altered via B-vitamins later in life, and how this relates to health and disease, is not exactly known. The aim of this study was to identify effects of long-term supplementation with folic acid and vitamin B12 on genome-wide DNA methylation in elderly subjects. This project was part of a randomized, placebo-controlled trial on effects of supplemental intake of folic acid and vitamin B12 on bone fracture incidence (B-PROOF study). Participants with mildly elevated homocysteine levels, aged 65-75 years, were randomly assigned to take 400 µg folic acid and 500 µg vitamin B12 per day or a placebo during an intervention period of two years. DNA was isolated from buffy coats, collected before and after intervention, and genome-wide DNA methylation was determined in 87 participants (n=44 folic acid/vitamin B12, n=43 placebo) using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. After intervention with folic acid and vitamin B12, 162 (versus 14 in the placebo group) of the 431,312 positions were differentially methylated as compared to baseline. Comparisons of the DNA methylation changes in the participants receiving folic acid and vitamin B12 versus placebo, revealed one single differentially methylated position (cg19380919) with a borderline statistical significance. However, based on the analyses of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) consisting of multiple positions, we identified 6 regions that differed statistically significantly between the intervention and placebo group. Pronounced changes were found for regions in the DIRAS3, ARMC8 and NODAL genes, implicated in carcinogenesis and early embryonic development. Furthermore, serum levels of folate and vitamin B12 or plasma homocysteine were related to DNA methylation of 173, 425 and 11 regions, respectively. Interestingly, for several members of the developmental HOX genes, DNA methylation was related to serum levels of folate. Long-term supplementation with folic acid and vitamin B12 in elderly subjects resulted in effects on DNA methylation of several genes, among which genes implicated in developmental processes.

Project description:Astrocytes express a vitamin B12 uptake receptor, CD320/TCblR, that is regulated by S1P1 signaling. In search of genes controlled under B12 deficiency in astrocytes, we employed RNA-seq using RNA of astrocytes cultured in normal or B12 deficient media.

Project description:Vitamin B12 (B12) is an important cofactor in mycobacterial metabolism, and some pathogenic mycobacteria need to obtain it from the host. In this study, we investigated the transport of vitamin B12 in Mycobacterium marinum. We identified a transcriptor regulator that could be potentially involved in the uptake process. RNA sequencing analysis were performed in order to elucidate the regulon of this new transcriptor.
