Project description:Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as bisphenol S (BPS) are xenobiotic compounds that can disrupt endocrine signaling following exposure due to steric similarities to endogenous hormones within the body. EDCs have been shown to induce disruptions in normal epigenetic programming (epimutations) that accompany dysregulation of normal gene expression patterns that appear to predispose disease states. Most interestingly, the prevalence of epimutations following exposure to many different EDCs often persists over multiple subsequent generations, even with no further exposure to the causative EDC. Many previous studies have described both the direct and prolonged effects of EDC exposure in animal models, but many questions remain about molecular mechanisms by which EDCs initially induce epimutations or contribute to the propagation of EDC-induced epimutations either within the exposed generation or to subsequent generations. Additional questions remain regarding the extent to which there may be differences in cell type-specific susceptibilities to various EDCs, and whether this susceptibility is correlative with expression of relevant hormone receptors and/or the location of relevant hormone response elements (HREs) in the genome. To address these questions, we exposed cultured mouse pluripotent (induced pluripotent stem [iPS]), somatic (Sertoli and granulosa), and germ (primordial germ cell like [PGCLCs]) cells to BPS and measured changes in DNA methylation levels at the epigenomic level and gene expression at the transcriptomic level. We found that there was indeed a difference in cell type-specific susceptibility to EDC-induced epimutagenesis and that this susceptibility correlated with differential expression of relevant hormone receptors and, in many cases, tended to generate epimutations near relevant HREs within the genome. Additionally, however, we also found that BPS can induce epimutations in a cell type that does not express relevant receptors and in genomic regions that do not contain relevant HREs, suggesting that both canonical and non-canonical signaling mechanisms can be disrupted by BPS exposure. Most interestingly, we found that when iPS cells were exposed to BPS and then induced to differentiate into PGCLCs, the prevalence of epimutations and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) initially induced in the iPSCs was largely retained in the resulting PGCLCs, however, >90% of the specific epimutations and DEGs were not conserved but were rather replaced by novel epimutations and DEGs following the iPSC to PGCLC transition. These results suggest a unique mechanism by which an EDC-induced epimutated state may be propagated transgenerationally following a single exposure to the causative EDC.

Project description:The ability of an endocrine disruptor exposure during gonadal sex determination to promote a transgenerational prostate disease phenotype was investigated in the current study. METHODS: Exposure of an F0 gestating female rat to the endocrine disruptor vinclozolin during F1 embryo gonadal sex determination promoted a transgenerational adult onset prostate disease phenotype. The prostate disease phenotype and physiological parameters were determined for males from F1 to F4 generations and the prostate transcriptome was assessed in the F3 generation. RESULTS: Although the prostate in prepubertal animals develops normally, abnormalities involving epithelial cell atrophy, glandular dysgenesis, prostatitis, and hyperplasia of the ventral prostate develop in older animals. The ventral prostate phenotype was transmitted for four generations (F1-F4). Analysis of the ventral prostate transcriptome demonstrated 954 genes had significantly altered expression between control and vinclozolin F3 generation animals. Analysis of isolated ventral prostate epithelial cells identified 259 genes with significantly altered expression between control and vinclozolin F3 generation animals. Characterization of regulated genes demonstrated several cellular pathways were influenced, including calcium and WNT. A number of genes identified have been shown to be associated with prostate disease and cancer, including beta-microseminoprotein (Msp) and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 6 (Fadd). CONCLUSIONS: The ability of an endocrine disruptor to promote transgenerational prostate abnormalities appears to involve an epigenetic transgenerational alteration in the prostate transcriptome and male germ-line. Potential epigenetic transgenerational alteration of prostate gene expression by environmental compounds may be important to consider in the etiology of adult onset prostate disease.
