Tier IV GS409702 • Differentially expressed genes between GABA and Glutamatergic neurons in prefrontal cortex of control subjects (DE Glu)_qvalue

DESCRIPTION:

We employed our recently developed FANS-based protocol to isolate two types of neuronal nuclei: (1) the MGE-derived GABA neurons, and (2) glutamatergic neurons with a small (~10%) admixture of non-MGE derived GABA neurons (denoted “Glu neurons”). PFC tissue samples from 3 control subjects were used for the experiments. EdgeR R package was used to perform differential expression (DE) analysis between GABA and Glu neurons, with DE criteria of FDR < 0.01, abs(FoldChange) > 2, and a cutoff of 0.1 counts per million (CPM). From supplementary table 2.

TITLE:

DNA Methylation Profiling of Human Prefrontal Cortex Neurons in Heroin Users Shows Significant Difference between Genomic Contexts of Hyper- and Hypomethylation and a Younger Epigenetic Age.

ABSTRACT:

We employed Illumina 450 K Infinium microarrays to profile DNA methylation (DNAm) in neuronal nuclei separated by fluorescence-activated sorting from the postmortem orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of heroin users who died from heroin overdose (N = 37), suicide completers (N = 22) with no evidence of heroin use and from control subjects who did not abuse illicit drugs and died of non-suicide causes (N = 28). We identified 1298 differentially methylated CpG sites (DMSs) between heroin users and controls, and 454 DMSs between suicide completers and controls (p < 0.001). DMSs and corresponding genes (DMGs) in heroin users showed significant differences in the preferential context of hyper and hypo DM. HyperDMSs were enriched in gene bodies and exons but depleted in promoters, whereas hypoDMSs were enriched in promoters and enhancers. In addition, hyperDMGs showed preference for genes expressed specifically by glutamatergic as opposed to GABAergic neurons and enrichment for axonogenesis- and synaptic-related gene ontology categories, whereas hypoDMGs were enriched for transcription factor activity- and gene expression regulation-related terms. Finally, we found that the DNAm-based "epigenetic age" of neurons from heroin users was younger than that in controls. Suicide-related results were more difficult to interpret. Collectively, these findings suggest that the observed DNAm differences could represent functionally significant marks of heroin-associated plasticity in the OFC. PUBMED: 28556790
