Transgenerational transcriptomic and DNA methylome profiling of mouse fetal testicular germline and somatic cells after exposure of pregnant mothers to tributyltin, a potent obesogen

ABSTRACT: Obesogens such as tributyltin (TBT) are xenobiotic compounds that promote obesity, in part by distorting the normal balance of lipid metabolism. The obesogenic effects of TBT can be observed in directly exposed (F1 and F2 generations) and also subsequent generations (F3 and beyond) that were never exposed. To address the effects of TBT exposure on germ cells, we exposed pregnant transgenic OG2 mouse dams (F0), which specifically express EGFP in germline cells, to an environmentally relevant dose of TBT throughout gestation through drinking water. When fed with a high fat diet (HFD), F3 male offspring of TBT-exposed F0 dams (TBT-F3) accumulated much more body fat than did Control-F3 males. TBT-F3 males also lost more body fluid and lean compositions than did Control-F3 males. Expression of genes involved in transcriptional regulation or mesenchymal differ-entiation was upregulated in somatic cells of TBT-F1 (but not TBT-F3) E18.5 fetal testes, and promoter-associated CpG islands were hyper-methylated in TBT-F1 somatic cells. Global mRNA expression of protein-coding genes in F1 or F3 fetal testicular cells was unaffected by F0 exposure to TBT; however, expression of a subset of endogenous retroviruses was significantly affected in F1 and F3. We infer that TBT may directly target testicular somatic cells in F1 testes to irreversibly affect epigenetic suppression of endogenous retroviruses in both germline and somatic cells.

miR-223 Plays A Critical Role in Obesogen-Enhanced Adipogenesis in Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Transgenerational Obesity

Project description:Exposure of pregnant F0 mouse dams to the obesogen tributyltin (TBT) predisposes unexposed male descendants to obesity and diverts mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) toward the adipocytic lineage. TBT also promotes adipogenic commitment and differentiation of MSCs, in vitro. We sought to identify TBT-induced factors predisposing MSCs toward the adipocytic fate. We exposed mouse MSCs to TBT, the PPARγ-selective agonist rosiglitazone or the RXR-selective agonist LG-100268 and determined their transcriptomal profiles to determine candidate microRNAs (miR) regulating adipogenic commitment and differentiation. Of the top 10 candidate microRNAs predicted by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, miR-21, miR-33 and miR-223 were expressed to regulate genes differentially expressed in adipogenesis. After exposing to 50 nM TBT for 24 hours, miR-223 levels of MSCs were increased and expression of its target genes ZEB1, NFIB, and FOXP1 decreased. Both ROSI and TBT increased miR-223 levels, and this induction was inhibited by PPARγ antagonists (T0070907) but not RXR antagonists (HX531, UVI3003), placing miR-223 downstream of PPARγ. Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed TBT-induced binding of PPARγ to regulatory elements in the miR-223 promoter. miR-223 levels were elevated in ancestral TBT exposed F2 and F3 male adipose tissues and further increased when animals were fed with a high fat diet. TBT induced miR-223 expression and adipogenesis in MSCs through the PPARγ pathway and promoted elevated miR-223 expression in white adipose tissue of F2 and F3 male descendants of F0 treated dams. This shows that transgenerationally increased expression of miR-223 plays an important role in the transmission of the obese phenotype after TBT exposure.

Sperm Epimutation Biomarkers of Obesity and Pathologies following DDT Induced Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Disease

Project description:Gestating F0 generational female rats were transiently exposed to DDT during fetal gonadal sex determination and the incidence of adult onset pathologies was assessed in the subsequent F1, F2, and F3 generations. In addition, sperm differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) that were associated with specific pathologies in the F3 generation males were investigated. No pathology was observed in the F1 generation DDT lineage males or females compared with F1 generation controls (vehicle exposure). There was an increase of testis disease and early onset puberty in the F2 generation DDT lineage males. The F3 generation DDT males had significant increases in testis disease, prostate disease, and late onset puberty. The F3 generation DDT females had significant increases in ovarian and kidney disease. Both the F3 generation males and females had significant increases in the frequency of obesity and multiple disease. The F3 generation sperm was collected to examine DMRs for the ancestrally exposed DDT male population. Unique sets of DMRs were associated with late onset puberty, kidney disease, and multiple disease pathologies.

Transgenerational epigenetic and transcriptomic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin exposure in rat [array]

Project description:In rats, direct exposure to TCDD causes myriad toxicities. Exposed rats experience hepatotoxicity, wasting syndrome and immune suppression, amongst others. “Inherited exposure”, as occurs in the F3 generation of directly exposed F0 animals, has also been shown to cause toxicity: both male and female F3 rats demonstrate an increased incidence of adult onset disease, females also display reproductive abnormalities and increased incidence of ovarian diseases while males show increased incidence of kidney disease and an altered sperm epigenome. Here, we explore the hepatic transcriptomic profile of male and female F3 Sprague-Dawley rats bred through the paternal germ line from F0 dams exposed to a single dose of TCDD (0, 30, 100, 300 or 1000 ng/kg body weight) by oral gavage. We hypothesize that RNA transcripts with altered abundance in livers of unexposed F3 progeny of treated F0 Sprague-Dawley rats may result from epigenetic modifications to the genome. Female F3 rats demonstrated more TCDD-mediated hepatic transcriptomic changes than males, with differences primarily in the lowest dose group.

IDS transgen arraYS

Project description:Adult female Wistar rats (about 220g) obtained from a breeding colony were mated and fed either a protein sufficient (PS) or protein restricted (PR) diet (n = 6 per dietary group) during F0 pregnancy which provided an increase in energy of approximately 25% compared to the diet fed to the breeding colony (2018S). During lactation dams were fed AIN93G and litters were standardisied to 8 offspring within 24 hours of birth with a bias towards females. Offpsring were weaned onto AIN93M at postnatal day 28 and F1 and F2 females were mated on postnatal day 70 (n = 6 per F0 dietary group). F1 and F2 dams were fed the PS diet during pregnancy and AIN93G during lactation. Offspring were weaned onto AIN93M. On postnatal day 70 unmated female offspring were fasted for 12 hours then sacrificed for hepatic transcritpome analysis by microarray. Expression of 1,684 genes differed by at least 2 fold between adult female F1 offspring of F0 dams from both dietary groups. 1680 genes were altered in F2 offspring and 2,065 genes altered in F3 offspring. Expression of 113 genes was altered in all three generations. Of these, 47% showed directionally opposite differences between generations. Gene ontology analysis revealed clear differences in the pathways altered in each generation. F1 and F2 offspring of F0 dams fed a PR diet showed impaired fasting glucose homeostasis. Hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) expression was elevated in F1 and F2 offspring from F0 PR dams, but decreased in F3, compared to PS offspring

Transgenerational epigenetic and transcriptomic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin exposure in rat [Bisulfite-Seq]

Project description:In rats, direct exposure to TCDD causes myriad toxicities. Exposed rats experience hepatotoxicity, wasting syndrome and immune suppression, amongst others. “Inherited exposure”, as occurs in the F3 generation of directly exposed F0 animals, has also been shown to cause toxicity: both male and female F3 rats demonstrate an increased incidence of adult onset disease while males show increased incidence of kidney disease and an altered sperm epigenome. Here, we employ bisulfite-sequencing to explore the methylation profile of male F3 Sprague-Dawley rats bred through the paternal germ line from F0 dams exposed to a single dose of TCDD (0 or 1000 ng/kg body weight) by oral gavage. We identified multiple significant differentially methylated regions (DMRs) affecting receptor genes, including multiple olfactory receptors, as well as Egfr and Mc5r, typically with increased methylation among the TCDD-exposed lineage relative to control lineage.

Atrazine Induced Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Disease, Lean Phenotype and Sperm Epimutation Pathology Biomarkers

Project description:This study examined the potential transgenerational actions of the herbicide atrazine. The F1 generation offspring (directly exposed as a fetus) derived from the F0 generation exposed gestating female rats did not develop disease, but weighed less compared to controls. The F2 generation (grand-offspring) was found to have increased frequency of testis disease, increased frequency of tumor development in males and females (predominately mammary tumors), early onset puberty in males, and decreased body weight in females compared to controls. The transgenerational F3 generation rats were found to have increased frequency of testis disease, early onset puberty in females, behavioral alterations and a lean phenotype in males and females involving a reduced adipocyte size, decreased body mass index (BMI) and reduced adiposity. The frequency of multiple diseases was significantly higher in the transgenerational F3 generation atrazine lineage males and females. The sperm differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs), termed epimutations, induced by atrazine were identified. A comparison of control versus atrazine lineage sperm identified 519 DMRs (p<10-6) for the F1 generation, 431 DMR (p<10-5) for the F2 generation, and 958 DMR (p<10-9) for the transgenerational F3 generation sperm.

Glyphosate Induced Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Pathologies and Sperm Epimutations: Generational Toxicology

Project description:One of the most widely used agricultural compounds worldwide is the herbicide glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine), commonly known as Roundup. The current study using a transient exposure of gestating F0 generation female rats found negligible impacts of glyphosate on the directly exposed F0 generation or F1 generation offspring, but dramatic increases in pathologies in the F2 generation grand-offspring and F3 transgenerational great-grand-offspring. The transgenerational pathologies observed include prostate disease, obesity, kidney disease, ovarian disease, and parturition (birth) abnormalities. Epigenetic analysis of the F1, F2 and F3 generation sperm identified altered DNA methylation.

The global tissue-specific RNA transcription dysregulation effects in the third generation after embryonic exposure to the widely used herbicide atrazine are mediated via inherited histone trimethylation [ChIP-Seq, 2]

Project description:We report the effect of histone trimethylation on transgenerational inheritance. We exposed outbred pregnant CD1 mice to herbicide atrazine and progeny of these mice were crossed for a three generations. First (F1) and third (F3) generation of males were analyzed by using genome-wide sequencing analysis. We analyzed the RNA expression level in liver, brain (hypothalamus) and testis in F3 generation males. The testis samples of F1 and F3 generations’ males were analyzed by ChIP-seq using antibody against H3K4me3. We find that subset of H3K4me3 marks altered in F1 was also detected in F3 males progeny. This subset is enriched in genes of stem cell differentiation. We found that embryonic exposure to atrazine globally affects the RNA transcription in testis: we found the tissue-specific transcription deregulation, increased number transcripts with altered transcription start site, alternatively spliced and polyadenylated mRNA transcripts in a F3 generation males. This study provides a new knowledge of mechanisms of transgenerational inheritance exposed to toxic compounds.
