Dynamic changes in DNA methylation of stress-associated genes (OXTR, BDNF ) after acute psychosocial stress

Environmentally induced epigenetic alterations are related to mental health. We investigated quantitative DNA methylation status before and after an acute psychosocial stressor in two stress-related genes: oxytocin receptor ( OXTR ) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF  ). The cross sectiona...

description Environmentally induced epigenetic alterations are related to mental health. We investigated quantitative DNA methylation status before and after an acute psychosocial stressor in two stress-related genes: oxytocin receptor ( OXTR ) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF  ). The cross sectional study took place at the Division of Theoretical and Clinical Psychobiology, University of Trier, Germany and was conducted from February to August 2009. We included 83 participants aged 61–67 years. Thereof, 76 participants completed the full study procedure consisting of blood sampling before (pre-stress), 10 min after (post-stress) and 90 min after (follow-up) the Trier social stress test. We assessed quantitative DNA methylation of whole-blood cells using Sequenom EpiTYPER. Methylation status differed between sampling times in one target sequence of OXTR ( P

We did not detect any time-associated differences in methylation status of the examined BDNF region. The results suggest a dynamic regulation of DNA methylation in OXTR —which may in part reflect changes in blood cell composition—but not BDNF after acute psychosocial stress. This may enhance the understanding of how psychosocial events alter DNA methylation and could provide new insights into the etiology of mental disorders.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2158-3188</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2158-3188</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1038/tp.2012.77</identifier><identifier>PMID: 22892716</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>London: Nature Publishing Group UK</publisher><subject>631/337/176/1988 ; 631/378/1689/1831 ; 631/378/2584 ; Aged ; Behavioral Sciences ; Biological Psychology ; Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor - blood ; Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor - genetics ; CpG Islands - genetics ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; DNA Methylation - genetics ; Epigenomics ; Female ; Humans ; Male ; Medicine ; Medicine &amp; Public Health ; Middle Aged ; Neurosciences ; Original ; original-article ; Pharmacotherapy ; Psychiatry ; Receptors, Oxytocin - blood ; Receptors, Oxytocin - genetics ; Stress, Psychological - blood ; Stress, Psychological - genetics</subject><ispartof>Translational psychiatry, 2012-08, Vol.2 (8), p.e150-e150</ispartof><rights>The Author(s) 2012</rights><rights>Copyright Nature Publishing Group Aug 2012</rights><rights>Copyright © 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c508t-7bef7366bedb1deb377ad59b9bde4052608a3f30b20d5cfe9b4aa5ee2e41351a3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c508t-7bef7366bedb1deb377ad59b9bde4052608a3f30b20d5cfe9b4aa5ee2e41351a3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3432191/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3432191/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,860,881,27901,27902,41096,42165,51551,53766,53768</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22892716$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Unternaehrer, E</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Luers, P</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Mill, J</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Dempster, E</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Meyer, A H</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Staehli, S</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lieb, R</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hellhammer, D H</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Meinlschmidt, G</creatorcontrib><title>Dynamic changes in DNA methylation of stress-associated genes (OXTR, BDNF ) after acute psychosocial stress</title><title>Translational psychiatry</title><addtitle>Transl Psychiatry</addtitle><addtitle>Transl Psychiatry</addtitle><description>Environmentally induced epigenetic alterations are related to mental health.
