Project description:The molecular factors involved in the development of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) remain poorly understood. Previous transcriptomic studies investigating the mechanisms of PTSD apply targeted approaches to identify individual genes under a cross-sectional framework lack a holistic view of the behaviours and properties of these genes at the system-level. Here we sought to apply an unsupervised gene-network-based approach to a prospective experimental design using whole-transcriptome RNA-Seq gene expression from peripheral blood leukocytes of U.S. Marines (N=188), obtained both pre- and post-deployment to conflict zones. We identified discrete groups of co-regulated genes (i.e., co-expression modules) and tested them for association to PTSD. We identified one module at both pre- and post-deployment containing putative causal signatures for PTSD development displaying an over-expression of genes enriched for functions of innate-immune response and interferon signalling (Type-I and Type-II). Importantly, these results were replicated in a second non-overlapping independent dataset of U.S. Marines (N=96), further outlining the role of innate immune and interferon signalling genes within co-expression modules to explain at least part of the causal pathophysiology for PTSD development. A second module, consequential of trauma exposure, contained PTSD resiliency signatures and an over-expression of genes involved in hemostasis and wound responsiveness suggesting that chronic levels of stress impair proper wound healing during/after exposure to the battlefield while highlighting the role of the hemostatic system as a clinical indicator of chronic-based stress. These findings provide novel insights for early preventative measures and advanced PTSD detection, which may lead to interventions that delay or perhaps abrogate the development of PTSD. We used microarrays to characterize both prognostic and diagnostic molecular signatures associated to PTSD risk and PTSD status compared to control subjects. Peripheral blood leukocytes gene expression was subject to transcriptional analysis for 48 service members both prior-to and following deployment to conflict zones. Half of the subjects returned with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), while the other half did not.

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.
