Gene expression differences of alcohol use disorder in human brain

ABSTRACT: Excessive alcohol consumption is a leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Neurobiological mechanisms associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD) remain insufficiently understood. Here, we provide RNA-sequencing data generated in nucleus accumbent and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, from 114 deceased individuals: 58 AUD cases, 56 non-AUD controls. DNA methylation data on many of these same individuals is available (see GEO accession number GSE252501).

Alcohol use disorder-associated DNA methylation differences in nucleus accumbens and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

Project description:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has a profound public health impact and understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of AUD remain limited. Many genetic risk loci have been identified for AUD or alcohol consumption, though the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these loci remain largely unknown. DNA methylation (DNAm) differences between individuals with and without AUD can provide insight into the mechanisms that predispose to AUD and consequences of AUD itself. Here, we provide Illumina HumanMethylation EPIC array data generated in nucleus accumbens and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, both addiction relevant brain tissues, from 119 decedents of European ancestry: 61 controls and 58 cases. From these data we have conducted an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) and identified several CpG associations with AUD. A subset of the identified CpGs map to genes that were previoulsy identified as associated with substance use behaviors in genetic studies, but the other CpGs map to genes previoulsy unassociated with substance use behaviors and are novel.

Presynaptic proteins in the orbitofrontal cortex predict Alcohol Use Disorder

Project description:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a life-threatening disease characterized by compulsive drinking, cognitive deficits, and social impairment that continue despite negative consequences, which are driven by dysfunction of cortical areas, such as the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), that normally balances decisions related to reward and risk. In this study, proteomics and machine learning analysis of post-mortem OFC brain samples collected from individuals with AUD revealed dysregulation of presynaptic (e.g., AP2A1) and mitochondrial proteins that predicted the occurrence and severity of AUD. Alcohol-sensitive OFC proteins also mapped to abnormal social behaviors and interactions. Validation using reverse genetics, we found that prefrontal Ap2a1 regulates alcohol drinking in genetically diverse mouse strains. Furthermore, we demonstrated sexual dimorphism in human OFC proteins that regulate extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Together, these findings highlight the impact of excessive alcohol consumption on the human OFC proteome and identify important cross-species cortical mechanisms underlying AUD.

Brain Proteomic Atlas of Alcohol Use Disorder in Adult Males

Project description:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) affects transcriptomic, epigenetic and proteomic expression in several organs including the brain. Multi-omic analyses of the brain from individuals with AUD to date lack a comprehensive analysis of protein alterations in the multiple brain regions that underlie neuroadaptations occurring in AUD. We performed quantitative proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis of human post-mortem tissue from brain regions that play a key role in the development and maintenance of AUD: amygdala (AMG), hippocampus (HIPP), hypothalamus (HYP), nucleus accumbens (NAc), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Brain tissues analyzed were from individuals with AUD (n = 11) and matched controls (n = 16).

Profiling Methylomic Alterations in Postmortem Prefrontal Cortex Tissues of Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorders

Project description:Analysis of methylomic alternations related with alcohol use disorders (AUD). The hypothesis is that chronic alcohol consumption might alter genome-wide DNA methylation patterns. The results suggest that differential DNA methylation might be invovled in neuradaptations to alcohol. Genomic DNA was extraced from postmortem prefrontal cortex tissues of 23 AUD cases and 23 matched controls. Both AUD cases and matched controls are assessed with DSM-IV

Polygenic Risk for Alcohol Use Disorder Affects Cellular Responses to Ethanol Exposure in a Human Microglial Cell Model

Project description:Polygenic risk scores (PRS) assess genetic susceptibility to Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), yet their molecular implications remain underexplored. Neuroimmune interactions, particularly in microglia, are recognized as significant contributors to AUD pathophysiology. We investigated the interplay between AUD PRS and ethanol in human microglia derived from iPSCs from individuals with high-or low-PRS (HPRS or LPRS) of AUD. Ethanol exposure induced elevated CD68 expression and morphological changes in microglia, with differential responses between HPRS and LPRS microglial cells. Transcriptomic analysis revealed expression differences in MHCII complex and phagocytosis-related genes following ethanol exposure; HPRS microglial cells displayed enhanced phagocytosis and increased CLEC7Aexpression, unlike LPRS microglial cells. Synapse numbers in co-cultures of induced neurons with microglia after alcohol exposure were lower in HRPS co-cultures, suggesting possible excess synapse pruning. This study provides insights into the intricate relationship between AUD PRS, ethanol, and microglial function, potentially influencing neuronal functions in developing AUD.

Cerebellar Transcriptomic Analysis in a Chronic Plus Binge Mouse Model of Alcohol Use Disorders Demonstrate Ethanol Induced Neuroinflammation and Altered Glial Gene Expression

Project description:Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are one of the most common preventable mental health disorders and can result in pathology within the CNS, including the cerebellum. Cerebellar alcohol exposure during adulthood has been associated with disruptions in proper cerebellar function. However, the mechanisms regulating ethanol-induced cerebellar neuropathology are not well understood. High-throughput next generation sequencing was performed to compare control versus ethanol treated adult C57BL/6J mice in a chronic plus binge model of AUD. Mice were euthanized, cerebella were microdissected, RNA was isolated, and RNA-sequencing was performed. Down-stream transcriptomic analyses revealed significant changes in gene expression and global biological pathways in control versus ethanol treated mice that included pathogen-influenced signaling pathways and cellular immune response pathways. Microglial associated genes showed a decrease in homeostatic molecules and an increase in molecules associated with chronic neurodegenerative diseases, while astrocyte associated genes showed an increase in molecules associated with acute injury. Oligodendrocyte lineage cell genes showed a decrease in molecules associated with both early-stage progenitors as well as mature myelinating oligodendrocytes. These data provide new insight into the mechanisms by which ethanol induces cerebellar neuropathology and alterations to the immune response in AUD.

Genome-wide RNA-sequencing differences in nucleus accumbens of smokers vs. nonsmokers

Project description:Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Cigarette smoking behaviors (e.g., initiation, nicotine dependence, cessation) are heritable, and many genetic risk loci have been identified. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the genetic risk loci along the trajectory of smoking are largely unknown. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) differences between smokers and nonsmokers can provide insight into mechanisms that predispose to smoking behaviors and consequences of the smoking exposure itself. Here, we provide RNA-seq data generated in nucleus accumbens, an addiction-relevant brain tissue, from 223 deceased individuals: 50 current cigarette smokers, 171 nonsmokers, and 2 individuals with undetermined smoking status. DNA methylation data on the Illumina HumanMethylationEPIC array are also available on most of these individuals and made available (GEO accession number GSE147040).

Profiling miRNA transcriptomic changes using Affymetrix miRNA4.0 in 6 regions of postmortem brains of subjects with alcohol use disorder

Project description:Chronic alcohol consumption may alter miRNA transcriptome profiles in reward-related brain regions. Given that miRNAs can regulate the expression of their target coding genes (or mRNAs) at the post-transcriptional level, alcohol-induced miRNA expression change may influence the expression of their targets mRNAs that are involved in alcohol use disorder (AUD)-related pathways, leading to increased risk of AUD. We used the Affymetrix GeneChip™ miRNA 4.0 Array to map miRNA transcriptome profiles in six reward-related regions of postmortem brains of AUD and control subjects and identified differentially expressed miRNAs.
