Project description:Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling disorder that may occur following an infection, yet the clinical phenotype is poorly defined, the pathophysiology is unknown, and no disease-modifying treatments are available. We used rigorous criteria to recruit a cohort of post-infectious ME/CFS (PI-ME/CFS) volunteers (n=17) with matched healthy controls (n=21) to conduct deep clinical and biological phenotyping using an extensive battery of tests. Among the many physical and cognitive complaints, one defining feature of PI-ME/CFS was an alteration of effort preference, rather than physical or central fatigue, due to dysfunction of integrative brain regions potentially associated with central catechol pathway dysregulation, with consequences on autonomic functioning and physical deconditioning. Immune profiling suggested chronic antigenic stimulation with increase in naïve and decrease in switched memory B-cells. Alterations in gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and metabolic pathways were consistent with cellular phenotypic studies and demonstrated differences according to sex. Together these clinical abnormalities and biomarker differences provide unique insight into the underlying pathophysiology of PI-ME/CFS, which may guide future intervention.

Project description:Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex disease of unknown etiology. Multiple studies point to disruptions in immune functioning in ME/CFS patients as well as specific genetic polymorphisms and alterations of the DNA methylome in lymphocytes. However, potential interactions between DNA methylation and genetic background in relation to ME/CFS have not been examined. In this study we explored this association by characterizing the epigenetic (~480 thousand CpG loci) and genetic (~4.3 million SNPs) variation between cohorts of ME/CFS patients and healthy controls. We found significant associations of DNA methylation states in T-lymphocytes at several CpG loci and regions with ME/CFS phenotype. These methylation anomalies are in close proximity to genes involved with immune function and cellular metabolism. Finally, we found significant correlations of genotypes with methylation modifications associated with ME/CFS. The findings from this study highlight the role of epigenetic and genetic interactions in complex diseases, and suggest several genetic and epigenetic elements potentially involved in the mechanisms of disease in ME/CFS.

Project description:Background: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex condition that involves multiple organ systems and is characterized by an abrupt or delayed onset of persistent/relapsing symptomatology such as debilitating fatigue, immune dysfunction, neurological problems, and other symptoms not curable for at least 6 months. Disruption of DNA methylation patterns has been tied to various immune and neurological diseases; however, the status of this epigenetic mark in ME/CFS remains uncertain. This study aimed at identifying changes in the DNA methylation patterns that are causative of changes in the regulation of gene expression in ME/CSF patients. Such changes may be also used for diagnostic purposes and be indicative of potential therapeutic targets. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 13 ME/CFS patients and 12 healthy controls (HC) were used to extract genomic DNA and measure global DNA methylation, and the methylation status at 850,000 CpG sites was assessed using Illumina MethylationEPIC microarrays. Results: Global DNA methylation levels of ME/CFS patients were similar to those of HC. However, microarray-based genome-wide technology allowed detection of 17,296 differentially methylated CpG sites in 6,368 genes across promoters, gene regulatory elements and within coding regions of genes. Analysis of DNA methylation in promoter regions found 307 differentially methylated promoters (DMP); genes associated with DMP participate in at least 15 different pathways mostly related to cell signaling with a strong immune component. Conclusions: This is the first study that has explored genome-wide epigenetic changes associated with ME/CFS using the new MethylationEPIC microarrays covering about 850,000 CpG sites. Our results are consistent with dysregulation of the immune system in ME/CFS and suggest a role of this epigenetic modification on the DNA pathobiology of ME/CFS.
