Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased over ten-fold over the past several decades, and appears predominantly associated with paternal transmission. Although genetics is anticipated to be a component of ASD etiology, environmental epigenetics is now thought to be an important factor. Epigenetic alterations, such as DNA methylation have been correlated with ASD. The current study was designed to identify a DNA methylation signature in sperm as a potential biomarker to identify paternal offspring autism susceptibility. Sperm samples were obtained from fathers, many undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, that have children with or without autism, and the sperm then assessed for alterations in DNA methylation. Differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) were identified in the sperm of fathers with autistic children in comparison to those without ASD children. An MeDIP-seq procedure was used to identify DMRs. The genomic features and genes associated with the DMRs were identified. The potential sperm DMR biomarker was validated with a blinded test set of individuals. Observations demonstrate a significant set of DMRs in sperm can potentially act as a biomarker for paternal offspring autism susceptibility.

Project description:The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing, and it is contributing to the susceptibility to diabetes and its related epidemic in offspring. Although the impacts of paternal T2D on metabolism of offspring have been well established, the exact molecular and mechanistic basis that mediates these impacts remains largely unclear. Here we show that paternal T2D increases the susceptibility to diabetes in offspring through the gametic epigenetic alterations. Paternal T2D led to glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in offspring. Relative to controls, offspring of T2D fathers exhibited altered gene expression patterns in the pancreatic islets, with downregulation of several genes involved in glucose metabolism and insulin signaling pathway. Epigenomic profiling of offspring pancreatic islets revealed numerous changes in cytosine methylation depending on paternal T2D, including reproducible changes in methylation over several insulin signaling genes. Paternal T2D altered overall methylome patterns in sperm, with a large portion of differentially methylated genes overlapped with that of pancreatic islets in offspring. Our study revealed, for the first time, that T2D can be inherited transgenerationally through the mammalian germline by an epigenetic manner. Examination of the effect of paternal T2D on the DNA methylation in the pancreatic islets of offspring and in the sperm of father.

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSC), the foundation of spermatogenesis and male fertility, possess lifelong self-renewal activity. Aging leads to the decline in stem cell function and increased risk of paternal age-related genetic diseases. Epigenetic profiling revealed reduced H3K27me3 deposition at numerous pro-differentiation genes during SSC differentiation as well as aberrant H3K27me3 distribution at genes in Wnt and TGF-β signaling upon aging.

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSC), the foundation of spermatogenesis and male fertility, possess lifelong self-renewal activity. Aging leads to the decline in stem cell function and increased risk of paternal age-related genetic diseases. Aged SSCs exhibited gene body hypomethylation, which is accompanied by an elevated 5hmC level.

Project description:Purpose: Paternal life experiences impact offspring health via germline, and epigenetic inheritance provides a potential mechanism. However, global reprogramming during offspring embryogenesis and gametogenesis represents the largest hurdle to conceptualize it. Yet, detailed characterization of how sperm epigenetic alterations carrying “environmental memory” can evade offspring embryonic reprogramming remains elusive. Methods: we profiled the sperm DNA methylation patterns of three consecutive generations (F0, F1 and F2) in both control and stress groups by using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). A total of 18 sperm samples were analyzed, including three biological replicates for each generation under each treatment. In addition, small RNA sequencing was carried out on paternal sperm samples to investigate whether long-term psychological stress affected the enrichment of certain sncRNAs and to identify whether they participated in mediating the occurrence and paternal inheritance of the stress-induced DMRs Rsults: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we obtained approximately 800 million clean reads per sample (build mm10) with strand-specific coverage ~21×, and the data covered ~96.00% of the total 21,867,837 reference CpG dinucleotides. A total of 24,427, 7,975, and 5,173 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between control and stress groups were found in the F0, F1, and F2 generations, respectively. Inter- and transgenerational inheritance of paternal DMRs were at frequencies approximately 11.36% and 0.48%, respectively. These DMRs related to genes with functional implications for psychological stress response, and tissue inheritance of these DMRs passed paternal disorders epigenetically to offspring. More importantly, these DMRs evaded offspring embryonic reprogramming through erasure and subsequent reestablishment, but not via un-erasure way. Nonetheless, their reestablishment proportions in the primitive streak (E7.5) stage were altered. Furthermore, sncRNA-seq revealed that stress-induced tsRNA, miRNA and rsRNA dysregulation in paternal sperm might play important roles in DMRs occurrence and paternal inheritance.

Project description:Preconception parental environment can reproducibly program offspring phenotype without altering the DNA sequence, yet the mechanisms underpinning this ‘epigenetic inheritance’ remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate the existence of an intact piRNA-pathway in mature Drosophila sperm and show that pathway modulation alters offspring gene transcription in a sequence-specific manner. We map a dynamic small RNA content in developing sperm and find that the mature sperm carry a highly distinct small RNA cargo. By biochemical pulldown, we identify a small RNA subset bound directly to piwi protein. And, we show that piRNA-pathway controlled sperm small RNAs are linked to target gene repression in offspring. Critically, we find that full piRNA-pathway dosage is necessary for the intergenerational metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming events triggered by high paternal dietary sugar. These data provide a direct link between regulation of endogenous mature sperm small RNAs and transcriptional programming of complementary sequences in offspring. Thus, we identify a novel mediator of paternal intergenerational epigenetic inheritance.

Project description:Investigation of genome-wide germline copy number mutations in mice after parental exposure to 3 Gy of acute X-rays The level of copy number mutations in offspring of exposed paternal mice was substantially increased when compared to the control Overall 262 samples were used of which 93 were control samples and 169 treated samples. The control samples came from offspring of parents (C57BL6/J (male) and CBA/Ca (female)) with sham -ir while the treated samples were from offspring of 3 Gy whole-body acute irradiated paternal and non-exposed maternal. The treated samples classified into two groups: post-meiotic and pre-meiotic according to exposed status of the sperm that gave rise to the offspring. The reference sample for each offspring was equal mixture of paternal and maternal DNA.
