Changes in DNA methylation pattern following intervention in PTSD patients

ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe changes in DNA methylation in service members who experienced PTSD. Methods: We compared DNA Methylation profiles in the blood of those with or without PTSD and also compared those with PTSD at both baseline and follow-up with those service members that only developed PTSD at follow-up (3-months after baseline). Blood was collected and analyzed at baseline and follow up. Results: In participants with PTSD, 10 genes were significantly hyper-methylated and 18 were significantly hypo-methylated. In the second analysis, participants that had PTSD at both time points did not present any differentially methylated gene regions. Interestingly, for individuals’ whose PTSD scores increased from baseline to follow-up, there were 8 hypo-methylated genes detected at the baseline.

Gene Expression Pathways Implicated in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Symptomatic Improvement

Project description:Military service members often return from deployment with a multiplicity of injuries, including mild traumatic brain injury, depression, and sleep disorders, which obsures diagnosis of PTSD symptoms and complicates treatment of PTSD. In order to understand the biological mechanisms underlying PTSD, gene expression profiles of military service members with and without PTSD were compared. Additionally, gene expression was examined based on intrusion symptoms, a distinct subtype of PTSD symptoms, and on improvement of PTSD symptoms at a three month follow up. RNA was extracted from blood samples and hybridized to the HG-U133_Plus_2 Affymetrix chip.

Blood RNA-seq data from individuals during the UK Covid-19 lockdown, spanning sequential weeks from first PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, used to evaluate blood transcriptomic signatures of viral infection and identify host-response biomarkers of early SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Healthcare workers were recruited at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, UK in the week of lockdown in the United Kingdom (between 23rd and 31st March 2020). Participants underwent weekly evaluation using a questionnaire and biological sample collection (including serological assays) for up to 16 weeks when attending for work and self-declared as fit to attend work at each visit, with further follow up samples collected at 24 weeks. Blood RNA sequencing data was to be used to identify host-response biomarkers of early SARS-CoV-2 infection, to evaluate existing blood transcriptomic signatures of viral infection, and to describe the underlying biology during SARS-CoV-2 infection. This submission includes a total of 172 blood RNA samples from 99 participants. Of these, 114 samples (including 16 convalescent samples collected 6 months after infection) were obtained from 41 SARS-CoV-2 cases, with the remaining 58 from uninfected controls. Participants with available blood RNA samples who had PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during follow-up were included as ‘cases’. Those without evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection on nasopharyngeal swabs and who remained seronegative by both Euroimmun anti S1 spike protein and Roche anti nucleocapsid protein throughout follow-up were included as uninfected controls. ‘Cases’ include all available RNA samples, including convalescent samples at week 24 of follow-up for a subset of participants. For uninfected controls, we included baseline samples only. Sample class denotes weekly interval to positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR; non-infected controls (NIC); convalescent samples (Conv)_.

Longitudinal global transcriptomic profiling of preclinical systemic sclerosis reveals molecular changes associated with disease progression

Project description:Objective: To investigate peripheral blood cell (PBCs) global gene expression profile of SSc at its preclinical stage (PreSSc) and to characterize the molecular changes associated with progression to a definite disease over time. Material and methods: Clinical data and PBCs of 33 participants with PreSSc and 16 healthy controls (HCs) were collected at baseline and follow-up (mean 4.2 years). Global gene expression profiling was conducted by RNA sequencing and a modular analysis was performed. Results: Comparison of baseline PreSSc to HCs revealed 2889 differentially expressed genes. Interferon signalling was the only activated pathway among top over-represented pathways. Moreover, 10 modules were significantly decreased in PreSSc samples (related to lymphoid lineage, cytotoxic/NK cell, and erythropoiesis) in comparison to HCs. At follow-up, 14 subjects (42.4%) presented signs of progression (evolving PreSSc) and 19 remained in stable preclinical stage (stable PreSSc). Progression was not associated with baseline clinical features or baseline PBC transcript modules. At follow-up stable PreSSc normalized their down-regulated cytotoxic/NK cell and protein synthesis modules while evolving PreSSc kept a down-regulation of cytotoxic/NK cell and protein synthesis modules. Transcript level changes of follow-up vs baseline in stable PreSSc vs evolving PreSSc showed 549 differentially expressed transcripts (336 up and 213 down) with upregulation of the EIF2 Signalling pathway. Conclusions: Participants with PreSSc had a distinct gene expression profile indicating that molecular differences at a transcriptomic level are al_x0002_ready present in the preclinical stages of SSc. Furthermore, a reduced NK signature in PBCs was related to SSc progression over time.

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.

Circulating miRNA Associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in a Cohort of Military Combat Veterans

Project description:Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects a high proportion of returning combat veterans, but the biological mechanisms of PTSD remain unclear. Circulating micro RNAs (miRNAs) have been associated with depression, and anxiety disorders, but there is little understanding of how miRNAs may relate to PTSD. In this study we compare profiles of circulating miRNA in combat veterans with and without PTSD in order to better understand biological mechanisms of PTSD. Methods: Blood from 24 male military service members was collected following deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), and subjects were assessed for PTSD symptoms using the PTSD checklist-military version. miRNA was isolated from whole blood and sequenced on the Ion Torrent PGM™ using the Ion 316 Chip v2. Differences in miRNA expression was compared between subjects with PTSD (N=15) and combat matched controls without PTSD (N=9). Significantly different miRNA, according to a FDR≤0.05, were assessed for predictive putative targets, and pathway analysis of related targets was completed. Results: PTSD was associated with 4 upregulated and 4 downregulated miRNA, including a 2.94 fold increase in miR-19a-3p and a 1.56 fold decrease in miR-15b. Pathway analysis show that PTSD is related to the axon guidance and Wnt signaling pathways, which work together along with the adherens junction and MAPK signaling pathways to support neuronal development through regulation of growth cones. The PTSD associated miRNAs related to transcription factors, including Transcription factor 7 (T-cell specific, HMG-box), Transcription factor 7 like 1, and Transcription factor 7 like 2. Conclusions: PTSD is associated with miRNAs that regulate biological functions that include neuronal activities, suggesting that they play a role in PTSD symptomatology.

Risk assessment with gut microbiome and metabolite markers in NAFLD development

Project description:A growing body of evidence suggests interplay between the gut microbiota and the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the role of the gut microbiome in early detection of NAFLD is unclear. Prospective studies are necessary for identifying reliable, microbiome markers for early NAFLD. We evaluated 2487 individuals in a community-based cohort who were followed up 4.6 years after initial clinical examination and biospecimen sampling. Metagenomic and metabolomic characterizations using stool and serum samples taken at baseline were performed for 90 participants who progressed to NAFLD and 90 controls who remained NAFLD free at the follow-up visit. Cases and controls were matched for gender, age, body mass index (BMI) at baseline and follow-up, and 4-year BMI change. Machine learning models integrating baseline microbial signatures (14 features) correctly classified participants (auROCs of 0.72 to 0.80) based on their NAFLD status and liver fat accumulation at the 4-year follow up, outperforming other prognostic clinical models (auROCs of 0.58 to 0.60). We confirmed the biological relevance of the microbiome features by testing their diagnostic ability in four external NAFLD case-control cohorts examined by biopsy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy, from Asia, Europe, and the United States. Our findings raise the possibility of using gut microbiota for early clinical warning of NAFLD development.

Genomic Predictors of Combat Stress Vulnerability and Resilience

Project description:The Genomic Predictors of Combat Stress Vulnerability and Resilience Study was designed to probe the likely hereditary basis for risk or resilience to develop PTSD and other trauma spectrum disorders. The overall guiding hypothesis was that genomic variation gives rise to risk/susceptibility traits that, when actuated by traumatic environmental stimuli, such as combat, give rise to PTSD and other stress-related phenotypes. Two studies designed to identify risk and resilience factors for combat-induced, stress-related symptoms are being conducted by our group: The Marine Resiliency Study (MRS) is a prospective PTSD study with longitudinal follow-up (pre- and post-exposure to combat stress) of US Marines bound for deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan. Extensive phenotyping includes 3 domains: Psychosocial, Psychophysiologic, and Biophysiologic. The biological and physiological measures collected were chosen in part due to their potential to serve as intermediate phenotypes for stress-related disorders. A second, cross-sectional study involves a cohort of combat-exposed active duty or previously deployed service members (CAVC), including PTSD cases and controls with comparable psychosocial and clinical phenotypes. Little information is available about the factors that explain why some trauma survivors develop stress disorders and some do not. It is hoped that the insights gained from this approach will improve understanding of the genetic contributors to PTSD, and potentially provide novel diagnostic tests and therapeutic approaches to this currently enigmatic and difficult-to-manage condition.
