[PMID: 37730112 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.122088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Epigenetic regulation is implicated in the neurogenesis of neuropathic pain. The repressor element 1 (RE1) silencing transcription factor (REST) corepressor (CoREST) proteins function as corepressors in the REST complex and/or LSD1 epigenetic complex. In the current study, we aimed to find the expression profile of CoREST1 in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and investigate whether it plays a role in neuropathic pain. MAIN METHODS The evoked pain behaviors in mice were examined by the von Frey test and thermal test in a spinal nerve ligation (SNL)-induced neuropathic pain mice model. CoREST1 siRNA or virus was administered by DRG microinjection or intrathecal injection. The CoREST1 expression in DRGs was examined by immunofluorescence, quantitative PCR, Western blotting, and co-immunoprecipitation. KEY FINDINGS CoREST1 was non-selectively expressed in large, medium, and small DRG neurons, and it exclusively colocalized with LSD1. In neuropathic pain models, peripheral nerve injury induced the upregulation of CoREST1 and increased binding of CoREST1 with LSD1 in injured DRGs in male mice. Furthermore, CoREST1 siRNA prevented the development of SNL-induced pain hypersensitivity as well as led to the reduction of established pain hypersensitivity during the maintenance period in SNL mice. Conversely, the overexpression of CoREST1 in DRGs by in vivo transfection of virus-induced pain hypersensitivity in naive mice. SIGNIFICANCE Our study demonstrated that CoREST1, along with LSD1, was expressed in primary sensory neurons specifically in response to nerve injury, and promoted nociceptive pain hypersensitivity in mice. Thus, CoREST1 might serve as a potential target for treating neuropathic pain.

Analysis of DNA methylation at birth and in childhood reveals changes associated with season of birth and latitude. Clin Epigenetics 2023; 15:148. [PMID: 37697338 PMCID: PMC10496224 DOI: 10.1186/s13148-023-01542-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Seasonal variations in environmental exposures at birth or during gestation are associated with numerous adult traits and health outcomes later in life. Whether DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a role in the molecular mechanisms underlying the associations between birth season and lifelong phenotypes remains unclear. METHODS We carried out epigenome-wide meta-analyses within the Pregnancy And Childhood Epigenetic Consortium to identify associations of DNAm with birth season, both at differentially methylated probes (DMPs) and regions (DMRs). Associations were examined at two time points: at birth (21 cohorts, N = 9358) and in children aged 1-11 years (12 cohorts, N = 3610). We conducted meta-analyses to assess the impact of latitude on birth season-specific associations at both time points. RESULTS We identified associations between birth season and DNAm (False Discovery Rate-adjusted p values < 0.05) at two CpGs at birth (winter-born) and four in the childhood (summer-born) analyses when compared to children born in autumn. Furthermore, we identified twenty-six differentially methylated regions (DMR) at birth (winter-born: 8, spring-born: 15, summer-born: 3) and thirty-two in childhood (winter-born: 12, spring and summer: 10 each) meta-analyses with few overlapping DMRs between the birth seasons or the two time points. The DMRs were associated with genes of known functions in tumorigenesis, psychiatric/neurological disorders, inflammation, or immunity, amongst others. Latitude-stratified meta-analyses [higher (≥ 50°N), lower (< 50°N, northern hemisphere only)] revealed differences in associations between birth season and DNAm by birth latitude. DMR analysis implicated genes with previously reported links to schizophrenia (LAX1), skin disorders (PSORS1C, LTB4R), and airway inflammation including asthma (LTB4R), present only at birth in the higher latitudes (≥ 50°N). CONCLUSIONS In this large epigenome-wide meta-analysis study, we provide evidence for (i) associations between DNAm and season of birth that are unique for the seasons of the year (temporal effect) and (ii) latitude-dependent variations in the seasonal associations (spatial effect). DNAm could play a role in the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of birth season on adult health outcomes.
