Six months of gender affirming hormone treatment modifies the methylome in the transgender population

ABSTRACT: The main objective was to carry out a prospective global CpG (cytosine-phosphate-guanine) methylation analysis before vs. after six months of gender affirming hormone treatment (GAHT), in a transgender population vs. a cisgender population.

Longitudinal DNA methylation profiling of individuals at baseline and 6 and 12 months following Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT)

Project description:In individuals where gender identity and sex assigned at birth are markedly and consistently incongruent, as in the case of transgender people, feminisation or masculinisation may be sought through gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). In this study we profiled genome-wide DNA methylation in transgender women and transgender men, before and during GAHT (6 months and 12 months into hormone treatment).

CBLL1 is hypomethylated and correlates with cortical thickness in transgender men before gender affirming hormone treatment

Project description:We measured whole-genome DNA methylation by the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 850 array and reported its correlation with cortical thickness (CTh) in 22 transgender men (TM) experiencing GD versus 25 cisgender men (CM) and 28 cisgender women (CW). With respect to the methylation analysis, TM vs. CW showed significant differences in 35 CpGs, while 2,155 CpGs were found when TM vs. CM were compared. With respect to correlation analysis, TM showed differences in methylation of CBLL1 and DLG1 genes that correlated with global and left hemisphere CTh. Both genes were hypomethylated in TM compared to the cisgender groups. Early onset TM showed a positive correlation between CBLL1 and several cortical regions in the frontal (left caudal middle frontal), temporal (right inferior temporal, left fusiform) and parietal cortices (left supramarginal and right paracentral). This is the first study relating CBLL1 methylation with CTh in transgender persons and supports a neurodevelopmental hypothesis of gender identity

RNA-seq of human Tregs from healthy cisgender and transgender individuals and patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE)

Project description:Sexual dimorphisms, which vary depending on age group and pubertal status, have been described across both the innate and adaptive immune system. We explored the influence of sex hormones on Treg differential gene expression in the context of adolescent health (cisgender and transgender individuals) and autoimmunity (juvenile-onset SLE).

Characterization of a Distinct Rectal Mucosal Transcriptome among Transgender Women utilizing Cross-Sex Hormone Therapy

Project description:A comparison of rectal mucosal RNA transcriptome findings between transgender women using feminizing hormone therapy, men who have sex with men engaging in receptive anal intercourse, and males who had never engaged in anal intercourse demonstrates differential gene expression involving pathways critical for mucosal inflammation, suggesting the urgent need for further exploration into the immunologic effects of cross-sex hormone therapy in the rectal mucosa and the potential impact on HIV transmission risk at this site.

The molecular consequences of androgen activity in the human breast (RNA-seq data)

Project description:The mammary gland is a hormone responsive organ and has been extensively studied under the influences of estrogen and progesterone. However, the molecular implications of androgen exposure in the normal breast remain elusive and unexplored, partially due to a lack of relevant tissue to study the functional consequences of androgen action. Transgender men are born female but identify as male, and many choose to undergo gender-affirming androgen therapy, which elicits wide-ranging masculinizing effects that help align their physical characteristics and gender identity. Here we perform single cell resolution profiling of androgen treated breast tissue from transgender men at the transcriptome, chromatin, and spatial level to elucidate the regulatory action of androgen. We show male-biased androgen receptor gene targets are specifically upregulated in androgen receptor expressing cell types, and that other sex-relevant changes are also initiated in cells lacking androgen receptor expression, through paracrine signaling cascades. We observe a functionally and structurally altered epithelium, shifts in immune populations and directed reduction of capillary vasculature. Finally, we discover evidence of the metabolic impact of androgen and demonstrate how the treatment induces fat loss by specifically targeting adipocyte function. This work provides a comprehensive and mechanistic characterization of the mammary tissue responses to androgen activity at single-cell resolution.
