Project description:We report that fortified levels of folic acid adversely affect cilia strucure and function. This data set agrees with previous experiements which have demonstrated that elevated folic acid levels can increase transcription variability on a genome-wide level. Furthermore, we demonstrate that among these dysregulated genes, genes contained within SYSgold cilia database are proportionally over-represented. This over-representation of cilia genes among dysregulated genes may play a key role in ciliopathys' sensitivity to elevated folic acid levels.

Project description:STUDY QUESTION: Could clinically-relevant moderate and/or high dose maternal folic acid supplementation prevent aberrant developmental and epigenetic outcomes associated with assisted reproductive technologies (ART)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our results demonstrate dose-dependent and sex-specific effects of folic acid supplementation in ART and provide evidence that moderate dose supplements may be optimal for both sexes. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Children conceived using ART are at an increased risk for growth and genomic imprinting disorders, often associated with DNA methylation defects. Folic acid supplementation is recommended during pregnancy to prevent adverse offspring outcomes; however, the effects of folic acid supplementation in ART remain unclear. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: Outbred female mice were fed 3 folic-acid supplemented diets, control (rodent daily recommended intake or DRI; CD), moderate (4-fold DRI; 4FASD) or high (10-fold DRI; 10FASD) dose, for six weeks prior to ART and throughout gestation. Mouse ART involved a combination of superovulation, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Upon collection of midgestation embryos and placentas (n=74-99 embryos/group), all embryos were assessed for developmental delay and gross morphological abnormalities. Embryos and placentas were also examined at the epigenetic level. We assessed methylation at four imprinted genes (Snrpn, Kcnq1ot1, Peg1, and H19) in matched midgestation embryos and placentas (n=31-32/group) using bisulfite pyrosequencing. In addition, we examined genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in midgestation placentas (n=6 normal placentas per sex/group) and embryos (n=6 normal female embryos/group; n=3 delayed female embryos/group) using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: Moderate, but not high dose supplementation, was associated with a decrease in the proportion of developmentally delayed embryos. Although moderate dose folic acid supplementation reduced DNA methylation variance at certain imprinted genes in embryonic and placental tissues, high dose supplementation exacerbated the negative effects of ART at imprinted loci. Furthermore, folic acid supplements resolved female-biased aberrant imprinted gene methylation. Supplementation was more effective at correcting ART-induced genome-wide methylation defects in male versus female placentas; however, folic acid supplementation also led to additional methylation perturbations which were far more pronounced in males. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: Although the combination of mouse ARTs utilized in this study consisted of techniques commonly used in human fertility clinics, there may be species differences. Therefore, human studies, designed to determine the optimal levels of folic acid supplementation for ART pregnancies, and taking into account fetal sex, are warranted. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: Taken together, our findings support moderation in the dose of folic acid supplements taken during ART.

Project description:Folic acid supplements prior to and during gestation are recommended and necessary to prevent neural tube defects in developing embryos. But there are also studies suggesting possible adverse effects of high-dose folic acid supplementation. Here, we address whether maternal dietary folic acid supplementation at 40 mg/kg chow (FD), restricted to a period prior to conception, affects gene expression in the offspring generation.

Project description:To prove our hypothesis that excess folic acid supplementation is responsible for widespread gene expression changes during gestational development that may be responsible for abnormal behaviors later on in the life, we have used whole genome microarray expression profiling in lymphoblstoid cells as a proof of concept. Human lymphoblastoid cells in culture were supplemented with folic acid, and four days later gene expression changes were measured. Expression of three genes (FMR1, GPR37L1 and TSSK3) from this data was confirmed by Western blot analyses. Dysregulation of other genes (ARHGAP6, EF1A1, MEST, SMAD3) was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Lymphoid cells at confluence were grown with or without folic acid for four days. Total mRNA was prepared and labeled with cyanine-3 (Cy3), followed by hybridization. RNA samples from three independent experiments were pooled.

Project description:Supplementation with high doses of folic acid, an important mediator of one-carbon transfers for DNA methylation, is used clinically to improve sperm parameters in infertile men. We recently detected an unexpected loss of DNA methylation in the sperm of idiopathic infertile men after 6 months of daily supplementation with 5mg folic acid (>10× the daily recommended intake-DRI), exacerbated in men homozygous for a common variant in the gene encoding an important enzyme in folate metabolism, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR 677C>T). To investigate the epigenomic impact and mechanism underlying effects of folic acid on male germ cells, wildtype and heterozygote mice for a targeted inactivation of the Mthfr gene were fed high-dose folic acid (10× the DRI) or control diets for six months. No changes were detected in general health, sperm counts or methylation of imprinted genes. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing revealed sperm DNA hypomethylation in Mthfr+/- mice on the 10× diets. Wildtype mice demonstrated sperm hypomethylation only with a very high dose (20×) of folic acid for 12 months. Testicular MTHFR protein levels decreased significantly in wildtype mice on the 20× diet but not in those on the 10× diet, suggesting a possible role for MTHFR deficiency in sperm DNA hypomethylation. In-depth analysis of the folic acid-exposed sperm DNA methylome suggested mouse/human susceptibility of sequences with potential importance to germ cell and embryo development. Our data provide evidence for a similar cross-species response to high dose folic acid supplementation, of sperm DNA hypomethylation, and implicate MTHFR downregulation as a possible mechanism.

Project description:Dietary folate is a major source of methyl groups required for DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that is actively maintained and remodelled during spermatogenesis. While high dose folic acid supplementation (up to ten times the daily recommended dose) has been shown to improve sperm parameters in infertile men, the effects of supplementation on the sperm epigenome are unknown. To assess the impact of six months of high dose folic acid supplementation on the sperm epigenome, we studied 30 men with idiopathic infertility. Blood folate concentrations increased significantly after supplementation with no significant improvements in sperm parameters. Methylation levels of the differentially methylated regions of several imprinted loci (H19, DLK1/GTL2, MEST, SNRPN, PLAGL1, KCNQ1OT1) were normal both before and after supplementation. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) revealed a significant global loss of methylation across different regions of the sperm genome. The most marked loss of DNA methylation was found in sperm from patients homozygous for the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism, a common polymorphism in a key enzyme required for folate metabolism. RRBS analysis also showed that most of the differentially methylated tiles were located in DNA repeats, low CpG density and intergenic regions. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that methylation of promoter regions was altered in several genes involved in cancer and neurobehavioral disorders including CBFA2T3, PTPN6, COL18A1, ALDH2, UBE4B, ERBB2, GABRB3, CNTNAP4 and NIPA1. Our data reveal alterations of the human sperm epigenome associated with high dose folic acid supplementation, effects that were exacerbated by a common polymorphism in MTHFR. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing of 28 human sperm samples before and after 6 month of high dose folic acid supplementation.
