Extended abstinence from morphine normalizes sperm small RNA expression and prevents transmission of multigenerational phenotypes

ABSTRACT: We examined the impact of paternal abstinence following morphine self_administration on the transmission of multigenerational factors from the F0 to the F1 generation. Previously, we found that offspring of non_abstinent, morphine administering male rats showed increased morphine_taking, diminished adolescent social play, and reduced sensitivity to morphine analgesia. Here, we show that these phenotypes are normalized in the offspring of fathers who were 90 days abstinent from morphine at the time of breeding. We further compared the small RNA content of sperm collected from non_abstinent versus 90 days abstinent F0 males to identify candidate molecules correlated with transmission of morphine_induced multigenerational phenotypes.

Chronic paternal morphine exposure increases sensitivity to morphine-derived antinociception

Project description:Preclinical studies suggest that parental exposure to drugs of abuse such as opioids can have profound and long-lasting effects on reward processing and drug sensitivity across generations. However, little is known about the impact of long-term paternal morphine exposure on sensitivity to morphine-derived antinociception in offspring. We developed a novel sub-second pain scale with statistical modeling and machine learning to measure mechanical nociception in Long Evans and Sprague Dawley male and female rats. Next, we used this rat pain scale with a multigenerational paternal morphine exposure paradigm to determine whether chronic paternal morphine exposure impacts pain sensitivity in offspring. Finally, we used RNA sequencing to identify potential molecular correlates of sire exposure to morphine on offspring. Surprisingly, we found that von Frey hair filaments (VFHs), the most commonly-used noxious mechanical stimuli to test pain sensitivity, are not painful to rats as measured by this novel rat pain scale. Male progeny produced from morphine-treated sires did not exhibit any baseline changes in sensitivity to noxious mechanical stimuli but had greater sensitivity to the antinociceptive properties of morphine. Changes in gene expression within the periaqueductal gray, including primary members of the RGS family of proteins, were identified that may play a role in modified sensitivity to morphine within offspring. These findings reveal nuanced responses to VFHs that should be considered in future pain studies and demonstrate that long-term paternal exposure to morphine increases sensitivity to morphine-derived analgesia in the subsequent male generation.

Multigenerational Effects of Dietary Benzo[a]pyrene Exposure on Behavior, Gene Expression, and DNA Methylation

Project description:Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is implicated in many developmental and behavioral adverse outcomes in offspring of exposed parents. Following a dietary preconceptional exposure to BaP in zebrafish, the objective of this study was to compare parental sex-dependent adverse outcomes in F1 and F2 offspring with the transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in eggs, sperm, and 10-hour post fertilization (hpf) embryos. Adult wild-type (5D) zebrafish were fed 708 µg BaP/g diet (measured) at a rate of 1% body weight twice/day (14 µg BaP/g fish/day) for 21 days. Fish were spawned using a crossover design and parental (F0) behavior and reproductive indexes measured. In offspring behavioral effects were measured at 96 hours post fertilization (hpf) in F1 & F2 larvae, and again when F1s were adult. Compared to controls, there was no significant effect of BaP exposure on adult behavior in F0, but locomotor behavior was significantly increased in F1 adults of both sexes. Larval behavior (96 hpf, photomotor response assay) was significantly altered in both the F1 and F2 generations following parental BaP exposure. To assess parental sex-dependent molecular mechanisms, BaP-mediated differential gene expression and DNA methylation changes were measured using RNAseq and RRBS, respectively, on F0 sperm and eggs and the 10 hpf embryos from all four crosses in F1 generation. Embryos resulting from the BaP male and control female cross had the most differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes. Some DMRs were associated with genes encoding chromatin modifying enzymes suggesting regulation of chromatin conformation by DNA methylation. Parental dietary BaP exposure caused persistent behavioral changes wherein the male germline contributed most significantly to the multigenerational adverse outcomes.

Multigenerational effect of heat stress on the Drosophila melanogaster sperm proteome

Project description:The notion that genes are the sole units of heredity and that a barrier exists between soma and germline has been a major hurdle in elucidating the heritability of traits that were observed to follow a non-Mendelian inheritance pattern. It was only after the conception of “epigenetics” by C. H. Waddington that the effect of parental environment on subsequent generations via non-DNA sequence-based mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, chromatin modifications, non-coding RNAs and proteins, could be established in various organisms, now referred to as multigenerational epigenetic inheritance. Despite the growing body of evidence, the male gamete-derived epigenetic factors that mediate the transmission of such phenotypes are seldom explored, particularly in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Using the heat stress-induced multigenerational epigenetic inheritance paradigm in a widely used position-effect variegation line of Drosophila, named white-mottled, we have dissected the effect of heat stress on the sperm proteome in the current study. We demonstrate that multiple successive generations of heat stress at the early embryonic stage results in a significant downregulation of proteins associated with translation, chromatin organization, microtubule-based processes, and generation of metabolites and energy in the Drosophila sperms. Based on our findings, we propose chromatin-based epigenetic mechanisms, a well-established mechanism for environmentally induced multigenerational effects, as a plausible way of transmitting heat stress memory via the male germ line in subsequent generations. Moreover, we demonstrate the effect of multiple generations of heat stress on the reproductive fitness of Drosophila, shedding light on the adaptive or maladaptive potential of heat stress-induced multigenerational phenotypes.

In Vitro Fertilization induces reproductive changes in male mouse offspring and has multigenerational effects [array]

Project description:In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a non-coital method of conception used to treat infertility. Although safe, IVF has been associated with adverse outcomes in the fetus, placenta, and adult life, but studies focusing on the male reproductive system are limited. Here, we used a mouse model to assess the morphological and molecular effects of IVF on male offspring. We evaluated three developmental stages: 18.5-day fetuses and 12- and 39-week adults. Regardless of age, we observed changes in the testicular-to-body weight ratio, serum testosterone levels, testicular morphology, transcriptome, and DNA methylation. Also, sperm showed changes in morphology and DNA methylation. To assess multigenerational phenotypes, we mated IVF and naturally conceived males with wild-type females. Offspring from IVF males exhibited a decreased fetal weight-to-placental weight ratio regardless of sex. At 12-weeks-of-age, offspring showed higher body weights, differences in glucose, triglycerides, insulin, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL/VLDL levels. Both sexes showed changes in gene expression in liver, testes and ovaries, and decreased global DNA methylation. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that male IVF offspring exhibit abnormal testicular and sperm morphology and molecular alterations and transmit defects multigenerationally. These experiments contribute to our understanding of the long-term impacts of IVF on adult offspring health.

Analgesia of naloxone in wild-type and NY1DD transgenic mouse model of sickle cell anemia using BMAP cDNA microarrays

Project description:Sickle cell disease is the most common genetic disorder in African-Americans. The opioid analgesic, morphine, has long been the treatment for the severe pain associated with this disease. Here we reveal that the opioid antagonist, naloxone, possesses potent analgesic activity in two strains of sickle cell mice (NY1DD and hBERK1) and not in their respective controls (ICR-CD1 and C57BL/6J) when administered by three parenteral routes. In the NY1DD sickle mice, naloxone (i.c.v.) possessed ~300-fold greater potency than morphine (i.c.v.). Other opioid antagonists (naltrexone, norbinaltorphimine, naltrindole) were substantially less effective in producing analgesia. Naloxone and morphine were synergistic in NY1DD mice, suggesting that analgesia was mediated via different receptor systems. Since microarray analysis suggested naloxone-induced down-regulation of the CCR5 chemokine receptor in NY1DD mice but not in control mice, the role of its endogenous ligand, CCL5 (RANTES), was investigated.
