Project description:Given the salient role of early-life adversity (ELA) and the resulting biological embedding in disease risk, there is a critical need to understand the mechanisms operating at multiple levels of analysis in order to promote effective clinical treatments and intervention efforts for survivors. An example for such an effort could be to utilize models of dynamic cellular markers as individual-level factors to account for variation in intervention response and clinical outcomes. Results of this study will lead to new knowledge about specific gene expression pathways in response to stress, and whether the response is moderated by previous exposure to early adversity, shorter telomere length (a marker of cellular aging) and self-report mental-health measures. Thus, the long-term effects of this study will advance our understanding on stress-related transcriptomic changes that play a downstream role in disease susceptibility and accelerated aging, with the goal of targeting specific pathways and genes for potential intervention studies and pharmacological treatments to reverse the effects of exposure to early adversity. For example, considering high failure rates for depression treatments, and in order to tailor individual interventions, identifying objective changes in stress-induced gene expression may help to predict intervention efficacy in clinical and non-clinical settings, as seen, for example, in breast and leukemia cancers. Thus, findings will have a range of impacts for basic science, intervention studies and clinical practice that will influence treatments to match the specific cellular processes operating within an individual.

Project description:Intergenerational stress increases lifetime susceptibility to depression and other psychiatric disorders. Whether intergenerational stress transmission is a consequence of in-utero neurodevelopmental disruptions or early-life mother-infant interaction is largely unknown, due to the complexity, superposition, and inseparability between the prenatal and postnatal mechanisms. Here we show that prenatal stress, through exposing pregnant mice to predator scent, induces depressive-like behavior and social deficits. Cross-fostering experiments indicate divergent and convergent mechanisms of both in utero and early-life parenting environments and support a two-hit model of stress transmission. According to this model, prenatal stress (first-hit) primes brain metabolome and transcriptome (metabotranscriptome), and increases vulnerability to the second-hit in early life, triggered by poor caregiving by the traumatized mothers. Metabolomics, transcriptomic and bioinformatics analyses reveal mechanisms that involve stress- and hypoxia- response metabolic pathways in the brains of the newborn mice, likely through the production of the epigenetic modifiers 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid and succinic acid. These responses produce long-lasting alterations in mitochondrial-energy metabolism, and epigenetic processes pertaining to DNA and chromatin modifications. We demonstrate that an early pharmacological intervention – correction of the mitochondria metabolism, and epigenetic modifications with acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) supplementation - produces long-lasting protection against the behavioral deficits associated with intergenerational transmission of traumatic stress.

Project description:Exercise is usually regarded to have short-term beneficial effects on immune health. Here we show that early-life regular exercise exerts long-term beneficial effects on inflammatory immunity. Swimming training for 3 months in male mice starting from 1-month-old curbed cytokine response and mitigated sepsis when exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, even after 11-month interval of detraining. Metabolomics analysis of serum and liver identified pipecolic acid (a non-encoded amino acid) as a pivotal metabolite responding to early-life regular exercise. We then explored histone epigenetic modifications and observed a significant increase of H3K4me3 expression in the liver of 15-month-old mice exposed to early-life exercise. To further unravel the prolonged increased pipecplic acid production raised by early-life exercise, we conducted ChIP-seq analysis and found H3K4me3 occupancy at Crym (a key enzyme responsible for catalyzing pipecolic acid production) promoter has a significant increase in hepatocytes of early-life exercised mice. Our findings demonstrate that early-life regular exercise enhances anti-inflammatory immunity during middle-aged phase in male mice via epigenetic immunometabolic modulation, in which hepatic pipecolic acid production plays a pivotal role.
