Project description:There is extensive variation in DNA methylation between individuals and ethnic groups. These differences can arise from a combination of genetic and non-genetic influences and potential modifiers include nutritional cues, early life experience, and social and physical environments. Here we have assayed genome-wide DNA methylation in neonatal cord blood from African American, European American, and other ancestral groups. This is part of the CANDLE Study (Conditions Affecting Neurocognitive Development and Learning in Early Childhood). Our overarching goal is to determine the different environmental and maternal factors that can modify DNA methylation in newborns. This is a cross-sectional study of a total of 216 racially diverse participants of CANDLE. Cordblood was collected at birth. DNA methylation was measured using the Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip. Based on maternal self-report, the samples are 112 African Americans, 91 European Americans and 13 other racial or mixed race group.

Project description:Background: Early life epigenetic programming influences adult health outcomes. Moreover, DNA methylation levels have been found to change more rapidly during the first years of life. Our aim was the identification and characterization of the CpG sites that are modified with time during the first years of life. We hypothesize that these DNA methylation changes would lead to the detection of genes that might be epigenetically modulated by environmental factors during early childhood and which, if disturbed, might contribute to susceptibility to diseases later in life. Methods: The study of the DNA methylation pattern of 485577 CpG sites was performed on 30 blood samples from 15 subjects, collected both at birth and at 5 years old, using Illumina® Infinium 450 k array. To identify differentially methylated CpG (dmCpG) sites, the methylation status of each probe was examined using linear models and the Empirical Bayes Moderated t test implemented in the limma package of R/Bioconductor. Surogate variable analysis was used to account for batch effects. Results: DNA methylation levels significantly changed from birth to 5 years of age in 6641 CpG sites. Of these, 36.79 % were hypermethylated and were associated with genes related mainly to developmental ontology terms, while 63.21 % were hypomethylated probes and associated with genes related to immune function. Conclusions: Our results suggest that DNA methylation alterations with age during the first years of life might play a significant role in development and the regulation of leukocyte-specific functions. This supports the idea that blood leukocytes experience genome remodeling related to their interaction with environmental factors, underlining the importance of environmental exposures during the first years of life and suggesting that new strategies should be take into consideration for disease prevention.
