Modeling gene × environment interactions in PTSD using human neurons reveals diagnosis-specific glucocorticoid-induced gene expression

ABSTRACT: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop following severe trauma, but the extent to which genetic and environmental risk factors contribute to individual clinical outcomes is unknown. Here, we compared transcriptional responses to hydrocortisone exposure in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived glutamatergic neurons and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from combat veterans with PTSD (n = 19 hiPSC and n = 20 PBMC donors) and controls (n = 20 hiPSC and n = 20 PBMC donors). In neurons only, we observed diagnosis-specific glucocorticoid-induced changes in gene expression corresponding with PTSD-specific transcriptomic patterns found in human postmortem brains. We observed glucocorticoid hypersensitivity in PTSD neurons, and identified genes that contribute to this PTSD-dependent glucocorticoid response. We find evidence of a coregulated network of transcription factors that mediates glucocorticoid hyper-responsivity in PTSD. These findings suggest that induced neurons represent a platform for examining the molecular mechanisms underlying PTSD, identifying biomarkers of stress response, and conducting drug screening to identify new therapeutics.

Dysregulated immune system networks in war veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an outcome of altered miRNA expression

Project description:miRNA microarray with four controls and eight PTSD patients were included in the study. This study was performed to see if there is any alteration in the miRNA expression profile in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of PTSD patients (war veterans in this case). Microarray for the miRNAs was performed by Johns Hopkins Memorial Institute (Deep Sequencing and Microarray Core Facility), Baltimore. Total RNA, including mRNA, miRNA and other small RNA molecules, were isolated from PBMC samples by using total RNA isolation kit (AllPrep DNA/RNA/miRNA Universal Kit) from Qiagen. Next, total RNA samples were used in the analysis of miRNA differential expression by miRNA array hybridization assay using the Affymetrix miRNA-v1 gene chip. Linear fold-changes in miRNA up-regulation or down-regulation were calculated to compare the differences of all the miRNAs expressed between PTSD patients and controls.

Dysregulated immune system networks in war veterans with PTSD

Project description:Purpose: RNA-Seq analysis can help identify large set of differentially expressed genes at a time. We performed RNA-Seq analysis to identify differentially expressed genes in the PBMCs of war veterans suffering from PTSD. Methods: Total RNA from PBMCs from PTSD +ve and -ve individuals were used for RNA-Seq analysis. Results: We obtained, on average, ~60 millions reads per sample. More than 70% of the reads were mapped to human genome. Functional analysis of the differentially expressed genes (362) revealed dysregulation in immune system network. Conclusions: Our present study provides further proof that immune system related genes and pathways are dysregulated in PTSD PBMCs.

Characterization of Whole Genome DNA Methylation Profile Associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in OIF/OEF Veterans

Project description:Emerging knowledge suggests that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is causally associated with epigenetic changes although its molecular underpinnings are still largely elusive. We postulate that differentially methylated probes mined from peripheral whole blood could be candidates for potential PTSD diagnostic signatures. Working within the Systems Biology PTSD Biomarker Consortium (SBPBC), we investigated a training set comprising of 48 PTSD male veterans (CAPS > 40) and 51 age/ethnicity matched controls (CAPS < 20). Agilent whole genome array detected ~5,600 differentially methylated CpG islands (CpGI) annotated to ~2,800 differentially methylated genes (DMG). The majority (84.5%) of these DMGs was hypermethylated in PTSD veterans. Thereof ~30% promoter-bound DMGs were used for functional analysis. Taking cues from the clinical information, the curated networks were enlisted into four major clusters, namely PTSD-associated complications, PTSD-relevant endocrine signaling, nervous system development and nervous system functions. Enduring impacts of PTSD was manifested by differentially methylated genes enriching networks associated with LTP, fear memory architecture and complications linked to insulin resistance and innate immunity. These networks were further validated by an independent test set comprising of 31/29 PTSD+/- veteran selected using aforementioned screening protocol. Two independent assay platforms presented technical validations. Probing the combined 83/83 PTSD+/- cohort, whole genome array from Illumina, Inc. validated most of the networks of interest. Methylation statuses of eight DMGs relevant to PTSD and comorbidities were confirmed by targeted bisulfite sequencing. This list presents a potential set of PTSD biomarkers of translational potential.

Epigenomic study of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder among OIF/OEF veterans

Project description:Emerging knowledge suggests that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is causally associated with epigenetic changes although its molecular underpinnings are still largely elusive. We postulate that differentially methylated probes mined from peripheral whole blood could be candidates for potential PTSD diagnostic signatures. Working within the Systems Biology PTSD Biomarker Consortium (SBPBC), we compared 52 PTSD male veterans (CAPS > 40) and 52 age/ethnicity matched controls (CAPS < 20) and detected ~5,600 differentially methylated CpG islands (CpGI) annotated to ~2,800 differentially methylated genes (DMG). The majority (84.5%) of these DMGs was hypermethylated in PTSD veterans, and nearly 30% of those representing the focus group of the present study were differentially methylated in their promoter regions. These promoter-bound DMGs were significantly enriched in four major network-clusters comprising PTSD-associated complications, PTSD-relevant endocrine signaling, nervous system development and nervous system functions. The severity of some current PTSD symptoms was correlated with the increased risk of medical problems, which was captured in epigenetically perturbed networks associated with insulin resistance, circadian rhythm, innate immunity and telomere management. DMGs involved with addiction, fear sensitization and neurotransmissions were enriched in the networks of long term potentiation, depression and fear memory consolidation, and thereby potentially induced lasting impacts on brain. Finally, we curated a set of DMGs that co-enrich multiple PTSD-relevant networks, and we speculate that these genes are cooperative associated with PTSD risk. The present study emphasizes the need to validate these potential PTSD signatures by probing independent cross-sectional and prospective human cohorts.

Gene expression associated with PTSD in World Trade Center responders: An RNA sequencing study

Project description:The gene expression approach has provided promising insights into the pathophysiology of PTSD. However, few studies used hypothesis-free transcriptome-wide expression approach. Transcriptome-wide expression study using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of whole blood was conducted in 324 World Trade Center responders (201 with never, 81 current and 42 past PTSD). The current and never PTSD samples were randomly split to form both discovery (N=195) and replication (N=87) cohorts. Differentially expressed genes identified in RNA-Seq were used in pathway analysis and to create a polygenic expression score. There were 448 differentially expressed genes in the discovery cohort, of which 99 remained significant in the replication cohort, and 5 (FKBP5, NDUFA1, CCDC85B, SNORD54, SNORD46) showed >1.2-fold difference in expression consistently between the discovery and replication cohorts. Several enriched biological pathways were found, including glucocorticoid receptor signaling and immunity-related pathways, but were not significant following FDR correction. The gene expression score achieved sensitivity of 0.917 and specificity of 0.508 for identifying PTSD cases in the replication cohort. It was similar in current and past PTSD, with both groups scoring higher than trauma-exposed controls. We confirmed the role of FKBP5 in PTSD and identified four additional differentially expressed genes that may constitute biomarkers for this condition. Together with the pathway analysis results, these findings point to HPA-axis and immune dysregulation as key biological processes underpinning PTSD. A novel polygenic expression aggregate that differentiates PTSD patients from trauma-exposed controls might be a useful screening tool for research and clinical practice, if replicated in other populations.

PTSD mouse amygdala proteome

Project description:Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent psychiatric disorder. Several studies have attempted to characterize molecular alterations associated with PTSD, but most findings were limited to the investigation of specific cellular markers in the periphery or defined brain regions. In the current study, we aimed to unravel affected molecular pathways/mechanisms in the fear circuitry associated with PTSD. We interrogated a foot shock induced-PTSD mouse model by integrating proteomics and metabolomics profiling data. Alterations at the proteome level were analyzed using in vivo 15N metabolic labeling combined with mass spectrometry in prelimbic cortex (PrL), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), basolateral amygdala (BLA), central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) and CA1 of hippocampus between shocked and non-shocked (control) mice, with and without fluoxetine treatment.
