Maternal Folate Genes and Aberrant DNA Hypermethylation among Offspring with Pediatric Lymphoblastic Leukemia

ABSTRACT: Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is believed to originate in utero and frequently involves aberrant promoter methylation. Folate is the methyl donor for DNA methylation, suggesting that maternal folate metabolism may contribute to the development of ALL. We previously reported significant associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the maternal methionine synthase (MTR) gene and offspring’s risk of ALL. Here, we test the associations of 11 SNPs in MTR with aberrant DNA methylation in offspring with ALL. We recruited 51 ALL case-mother pairs from Texas Children’s Hospital from 2005-2010. We collected maternal saliva samples and diagnostic bone marrow plasma from cases. Bone marrow plasma was obtained from six healthy donors. DNA methylation was determined using MCA-Seq. Pyrosequencing was used to determine maternal MTR genotypes. We identified offspring with high and low promoter methylation and used logistic regression to estimate the effects of maternal genotype on offspring methylation. Twenty-two cases (43%) demonstrated high promoter methylation. Maternal MTR 113A>G was associated with aberrant DNA methylation in offspring (OR 4.59, 95% CI 1.21-17.93). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an association between maternal genotype and offspring methylation in pediatric ALL.

Gene promoter DNA methylation patterns have limited role in orchestrating transcriptional changes in the fetal liver in response to maternal folate depletion during pregnancy.

Project description:Early life exposures are critical in fetal programming and may influence function and health in later life. Adequate maternal folate consumption during pregnancy is essential for healthy fetal development and long-term offspring health. The mechanisms underlying fetal programming are poorly understood, but are likely to involve gene regulation. Epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation, regulate gene expression and are modifiable by folate supply. We observed before transcriptional changes in fetal liver in response to maternal folate depletion and hypothesised that these changes are due to altered gene promoter methylation. Female C57BL/6J mice were fed diets containing 2âmg or 0.4âmg folic acid/kg for 4âweeks before mating and throughout pregnancy. At 17.5 day gestation, genome-wide gene expression and promoter methylation were measured by microarray analysis in male fetal livers.

Maternal folate depletion during early development and high fat feeding from weaning elicit similar changes in gene expression, but not in DNA methylation, in adult offspring (Gene expression data)

Project description:Scope: The âPredictive Adaptive Responseâ hypothesis suggests the in utero environment when mismatched with the post-natal environment can influence later life health. Underlying mechanisms are poorly understood, but may involve gene transcription changes, regulated via epigenetic mechanisms. Methods and Results: In a 2x2 factorial design, female C57Bl/6 mice were randomised to low or normal folate diets (0.4mg/ or 2mg folic acid/kg diet) prior to and during pregnancy and lactation with. At weaning, offspring were randomised to high or low fat diets at weaning. Genome-wide gene expression and promoter DNA methylation were measured using microarrays in adult male livers. Maternal folate depletion and high fat intake post-weaning influenced gene expression (1959 and 1612 genes respectively) and promoter DNA methylation (208 and 344 loci respectively) but changes in expression and methylation were poorly matched for both dietary interventions. Expression of 667 genes was altered in response to both maternal folate depletion and post-weaning high fat feeding. In addition, there was evidence that the combined dietary insult (i.e. maternal folate depletion followed by high fat post-weaning) exerted the largest expression change for most of these genes. Conclusion: Our observations align with, and provide evidence in support of a potential underlying mechanism for, the âPredictive Adaptive Responseâ hypothesis. Elucidation of these mechanisms may identify targets for interventions to mitigate effects of adverse nutrition exposures during early development on disease risk in later life.

Multi-omics Analysis Revealing the Impact of Excessive Maternal Folate Supplementation on Offspring Brain Development [spatial transcriptome]

Project description:Folate is crucial for diverse biological processes including neurogenesis. While folate supplementation during pregnancy is standard for preventing neural tube defects (NTDs), concerns are growing over the potential risks of excessive maternal intake. In this study, we employed spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus multi-omics techniques to investigate the impact of increased maternal folate intake on offspring brain development. Elevated folate intake broadly affected gene pathways linked to neurogenesis and neuronal axon myelination across multiple brain regions. Furthermore, specific gene expression alterations related to learning and memory processes emerged in thalamic and ventricular regions. Single-nucleus multi-omics analysis revealed that maturing excitatory neurons in dentate gyrus are particularly vulnerable to suboptimal maternal folate intake. Aberrant gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes were primarily centered on pathways governing ribosomal biogenesis, which is critical for synaptic formation. Altogether, our findings provide novel insights into how excessive maternal folate supplementation affects offspring brain development, notably by influencing gene expression and chromatin accessibility.

iTRAQ quantification of hippocampal proteins in a mouse model of unpredictable maternal separation and maternal stress

Project description:Adverse experiences in early life are risk factors for the development of behavioral and physiological symptoms that can lead to psychiatric and cognitive disorders later in life. Some of these symptoms can be transmitted to the offspring, in some cases by non-genomic mechanisms involving germ cells. Using a mouse model of unpredictable maternal separation and maternal stress, we show that postnatal trauma alters coping behaviors in adverse conditions in exposed males when adult and in their adult male progeny. The behavioral changes are accompanied by increased glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression and decreased DNA methylation of the GR promoter in the hippocampus. DNA methylation is also decreased in sperm cells of exposed males when adult. Transgenerational transmission of behavioral symptoms is prevented by paternal environmental enrichment, an effect associated with the reversal of alterations in GR gene expression and DNA methylation in the hippocampus of the male offspring. These findings highlight the influence of both, negative and positive environmental factors on behavior across generations, and the plasticity of the epigenome across life.

Exercise during pregnancy prevents parental obesity-induced decline of metabolic function in adult offspring [Bisulfite-Seq]

Project description:It is known that both maternal and paternal health/disease can influence the early development and later metabolic homeostasis of the offspring. We investigated whether maternal exercise during gestation alone could protect the offspring from the adverse effects of either maternal or paternal obesity induced by high-fat diet (HFD). To understand the underlying mechanisms we performed transcriptomics, whole-genome DNA methylation and targeted DNA methylation analysis at the metabolic master regulator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g coactivator-1a (Pgc-1a) promoter in the adult offspring skeletal muscle. Both maternal and paternal HFD resulted in impaired glucose tolerance in the offspring at 9 months of age. Maternal exercise during gestation completely mitigated this metabolic impairment induced by either maternal or paternal HFD. Adult offspring exposed to either maternal or paternal HFD without exercise during gestation had skeletal muscle transcriptional profiles enriched in genes regulating inflammation and immune responses, whereas maternal exercise resulted in a transcriptional profile that was more similar to control offspring from normal chow fed parents. Changes in promoter and CpG DNA methylation were detected between the groups but did not explain the transcriptional changes. Maternal HFD increased methylation of the Pgc-1α promoter at CpG -260, which was prevented by maternal exercise. Paternal HFD did not affect the methylation of the Pgc-1α promoter. These findings demonstrate the negative consequences of maternal and paternal obesity for the offspring’s metabolic outcomes later in life and the clear benefits of maternal exercise during gestation. The mechanisms involve transcriptional regulation of skeletal muscle likely through multiple types of epigenetic modifications.

Maternal gestational nutrition perturbs offspring sperm epigenome in sheep [ncRNA-seq]

Project description:There is a growing body of evidence that inadequate maternal nutrition during gestation can have immediate and life-long effects on offspring. However, little is known about the reproductive effects of maternal gestational nutrition in offspring males. Here, using a sheep model of poor maternal nutrition (restricted- or over-feeding) during gestation, we found that poor maternal gestational nutrition does not affect semen characteristics (i.e. volume, sperm concentration, pH, sperm motility, sperm morphology) and scrotal circumference in offspring. However, by evaluating associations between poor maternal gestational nutrition and altered small non-cording RNAs (sncRNAs) and DNA methylation in offspring sperm, we demonstrated that poor maternal gestational nutrition alters sperm sncRNA composition and expression. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing further identified genomic regions with increased or decreased DNA methylation in sperm in response to poor maternal gestational nutrition. These findings imply that maternal diet-induced epigenetic errors can accumulate in sperm to worsen developmental outcomes of future generations.
