Profiling Neuronal Methylome and Hydroxymethylome of Opioid Use Disorder in the Human Orbitofrontal Cortex

ABSTRACT: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. While recent research suggests epigenetic disturbances in OUD, this is mostly limited to DNA methylation (5mC). DNA hydroxymethylation (5hmC) has been widely understudied. We conducted a multi-omics profiling of OUD in a male cohort, integrating neuronal-specific 5mC and 5hmC as well as gene expression profiles from human postmortem orbitofrontal cortex (OUD=12; non-OUD=26). Single locus methylomic analysis and co-methylation analysis showed a higher number of OUD-associated genes and gene networks for 5hmC compared to 5mC; these were enriched for GPCR, Wnt, neurogenesis, and opioid signaling. 5hmC marks also showed a higher correlation with gene expression patterns and enriched for GWAS of psychiatric traits. Drug interaction analysis revealed interactions with opioid-related drugs, some used as OUD treatments. Our multi-omics findings suggest an important role of 5hmC and reveal loci epigenetically dysregulated in OFC neurons of individuals with OUD.

Presynaptic proteins in the orbitofrontal cortex predict Alcohol Use Disorder

Project description:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a life-threatening disease characterized by compulsive drinking, cognitive deficits, and social impairment that continue despite negative consequences, which are driven by dysfunction of cortical areas, such as the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), that normally balances decisions related to reward and risk. In this study, proteomics and machine learning analysis of post-mortem OFC brain samples collected from individuals with AUD revealed dysregulation of presynaptic (e.g., AP2A1) and mitochondrial proteins that predicted the occurrence and severity of AUD. Alcohol-sensitive OFC proteins also mapped to abnormal social behaviors and interactions. Validation using reverse genetics, we found that prefrontal Ap2a1 regulates alcohol drinking in genetically diverse mouse strains. Furthermore, we demonstrated sexual dimorphism in human OFC proteins that regulate extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Together, these findings highlight the impact of excessive alcohol consumption on the human OFC proteome and identify important cross-species cortical mechanisms underlying AUD.

RNA sequencing analysis of postmortem human Brodmann Area 9 in the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Brain Collection

Project description:From Mendez et al 2021 "Angiogenic Gene Networks are Dysregulated in Opioid Use Disorder: Evidence from Multi-Omics and Imaging of Postmortem Human Brain": Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a public health crisis in the U.S. that causes over 50 thousand deaths annually due to overdose. Using next-generation RNA sequencing and proteomics techniques, we identified 394 differentially expressed (DE) coding and long noncoding (lnc) RNAs as well as 213 DE proteins in Brodmann Area 9 of OUD subjects. The RNA and protein changes converged on pro-angiogenic gene networks and cytokine signaling pathways. Four genes (LGALS3, SLC2A1, PCLD1, VAMP1) were dysregulated in both RNA and protein. Dissecting these DE genes and networks, we found cell type specific effects with enrichment in astrocyte and endothelial correlated genes. Weighted-genome correlation network analysis (WGCNA) revealed cell type correlated networks including an astrocytic/endothelial network involved in angiogenic cytokine signaling as well as a neuronal network involved in synaptic vesicle formation. In addition, using ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging, we identified increased vascularization in postmortem brains from a subset of subjects with OUD. This is the first study of its kind relating dysregulation of astrocytic and endothelial angiogenic gene networks in OUD with ex vivo imaging qualitative evidence of hypervascularization in postmortem brain. Understanding the neurovascular effects of OUD is critical in this time of widespread opioid use. This dataset includes Samples from Mendez et al 2021 "Angiogenic gene networks are dysregulated in opioid use disorder: evidence from multi-omics and imaging of postmortem human brain" published in Molecular Psychiatry. doi: 10.1038/s41380-021-01259-y For full sample information for each sample, please contact Dr. Walss-Bass at consuelo.walssbass@uth.tmc.edu

Astrocytic ZBTB7A promotes orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction associated with Major Depressive Disorder [MDD]

Project description:Overall risk for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is determined by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors that influence epigenetic regulation of neuroplasticity and stress pathways1,2. These mechanisms are specific to the distinct regulatory context within regionally-defined brain cell-types3,4. Here, we employed genome-wide chromatin accessibility profiling of neuronal vs. non-neuronal cells in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) to capture regulatory signatures of MDD. We mapped genetic risk for MDD to active promoters of non-neuronal cell-types in OFC and identified MDD-specific open chromatin regions, which were differentially accessible exclusively in non-neuronal cells. Characterization of these loci revealed a key role for astrocyte dysfunction, and implicated the chromatin remodeling protein ZBTB7A, which coordinates wide-ranging cellular activation programs, including NF-kB inflammatory transcription5. In mice, astrocyte-specific knockdown of Zbtb7a reversed chromatin remodeling, reactive astrocyte transcription, and behavioral deficits associated with chronic stress. Conversely, ZBTB7A overexpression in OFC astrocytes induced stress-related behavioral deficits, promoted widespread inflammatory gene expression, and drove pathophysiological OFC neuronal hyperactivity in response to a mild subthreshold stressor. Our data highlight a critical role for OFC astrocytes in the bidirectional regulation of stress vulnerability and pinpoint ZBTB7A as a key factor mediating maladaptive astrocyte plasticity and OFC neuronal hyperexcitability in MDD.

Dynamic changes of DNA methylome and hydroxymethylome during neural differentiation of hES cells (Methylation BeadChip)

Project description:DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation have been implicated in normal development and differentiation, but our knowledge about the genome-wide distribution of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) during cellular differentiation remains limited. Using in vitro model system of gradual differentiation of human embryonic stem (hES) cells into ventral midbrain-type neural precursor (NP) cells and terminally into dopamine (DA) neurons, we explored changes in 5mC or 5hmC patterns during lineage commitment. We used three techniques, 450K DNA methylation array, MBD-seq, and hMeDIP-seq, and found combination of these methods can provide comprehensive information on the genome-wide 5mC or 5hmC patterns. We observed dramatic changes of 5mC patterns during differentiation of hES cells into NP cells. Although genome-wide 5hmC distribution was more stable than 5mC, coding exons, CpG islands and shores showed dynamic 5hmC patterns during differentiation. In addition to the role of DNA methylation as a mechanism to initiating gene silencing, we also found DNA methylation as a locking system to maintain gene silencing. More than 1,000 genes including mesoderm development related genes acquired promoter methylation during neuronal differentiation even though they were already silenced in hES cells. Finally, we found that activated genes lost 5mC in transcription start site (TSS) but acquired 5hmC around TSS and gene body during differentiation. Our findings may provide clues for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying lineage specific differentiation of pluripotent stem cells during human embryonic development.

Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of central amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex during incubation of methamphetamine craving

Project description:Methamphetamine (Meth) seeking progressively increases after withdrawal (incubation of Meth craving), but the transcriptional mechanisms that contribute to this incubation are unknown. Here we used RNA-sequencing to analyze transcriptional profiles associated with incubation of Meth craving in central amygdala (CeA) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), two brain areas previously implicated in relapse to drug seeking. We trained rats to self-administer either saline (control condition) or Meth (10 days; 9 h/day, 0.1 mg/kg/infusion). Next, we collected brain tissue from CeA and OFC on withdrawal day 2 (when Meth seeking is low and non-incubated) and on day 35 (when Meth seeking is high and incubated), for subsequent RNA-sequencing. In CeA, we identified 10-fold more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) on withdrawal day 35 than day 2. These genes were enriched for several biological processes, including protein ubiquitination and histone methylation. In OFC, we identified many fewer expression changes than in CeA. Interestingly, there were more DEGs on withdrawal day 2 than on day 35. Several genes in OFC showed opposing expression changes on withdrawal day 2 (increase) when compared to withdrawal day 35 (decrease), which was further validated by qPCR. Our analyses highlight the CeA as a key region of transcriptional regulation associated with incubation of Meth seeking. In contrast, transcriptional regulation in OFC may contributes to Meth seeking during early withdrawal. Overall, these findings provide a unique resource of gene expression data for future studies examining transcriptional mechanisms in CeA that mediate Meth seeking after prolonged withdrawal.
