Investigating multigenerational epigenetic adaptation of the hepatic wound-healing response
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The possibility that ancestral environmental conditions and exposures could result in effects inherited across generations, with potential impact for human health, has been long debated. Here, we comprehensively investigate transgenerational effects of the hepatotoxicant carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) on the hepatic wound-healing response in male rats. Detailed microscopic and clinical pathology evaluations do not support adaptive phenotypic suppression of the hepatic wound-healing response or a greater fitness of animals with ancestral liver injury exposure as originally reported. We produced RNAseq libraries on the F2 liver samples to further characterize any adaptive effect based on molecular changes.
