‘Couch potato’ mice reveal that epigenetics affects urge to exercise – BioNews

Posted: December 9, 2019 at 9:46 pm

9 December 2019

For the first time US researchers have shown that not only genetics but a different level of developmental regulation called epigenetics impacts the innate drive of mice to exercise.

Epigenetics is a molecular mechanism within cells that controls which genes are transcribed and which ones are not, determiningwhich genes are 'turned on'and which ones are 'turned off'.

In this study the scientists found that the methylation of DNA, a process which is known to 'turngenes off', in some neurons in the hypothalamus leads to a decrease in exercise activity.

Corresponding author, Dr Robert Waterland, professor at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Centre at Baylor and Texas Children's Hospital said: 'We study developmental programming, which refers to how the environment during development can have a long term impact on risk of diseaseour earlier findings suggested that establishment of one's physical activity 'set point'can be affected by early environment, and that this may involve epigenetics.'

Epigenetics is more malleable than genetics and could potentially be altered to increase exercise activity. The scientists investigated a specialised class of neurons in the hypothalamus called AgRP neurons which regulate food intake.

They disabled a gene causing DNA methylation in the AgRP neurons of mice and then tested whether these changes in methylation altered the weight of the animals. Interestingly, they discovered that mice with the disabled gene were slightly heavier.

Intriguingly, the animals did not eat more food than the ones with unchanged DNA methylation. However, the researchers did find a major difference in spontaneous physical exercise. Measuring the distance that the mice ran on a running wheel showed that normal mice ran on average 6 kilometres per night, while the methylation-deficient ones only ran half as much, and thus lost less weight. Notably, the epigenetic changes seemednot to impact the physical ability of the animals to run, but the desire to exercise.

'Our findings suggest that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, that are established in the brain during fetal or early postnatal life, play a major role in determining individual propensity for exercise,'Waterland said. 'Nowadays, as decreases in physical activity contribute to the worldwide obesity epidemic, it is increasingly important to understand how all of this works.'

The work was published in Nature Communications.

Researchers discover why youre skipping the gym for Netflix and sleep – The CEO Magazine

Posted: December 9, 2019 at 9:46 pm

You may have your new years resolutions sorted but following through with your most ambitious fitness goals could be down to genetics.

By Mike Huyhn

Posted on December 6, 2019

Talk about a rude awakening. As another new year rounds the bend there are no doubt plenty of people plotting their annual fitness goals which they will never actually fulfil. You hopeful tragics get an A for effort.

Have you ever wondered though why its easier for the dedicated gym junkies to lift, run, bike and swim on a regular basis whilst others find it hard to get off the couch at all?

Researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine did and thats why they conducted a study to find out why this distinction in motivational behaviour between the dedicated and the lazy existed. The results from the study found that its not really your fault if you cant be bothered gyming its all in your genes.

The research entitled DNA methylation in AgRP neurons regulates voluntary exercise behaviour was published in Nature Communications. It highlights the epigenetic control of the expression of certain genes. These particular epigenetic mechanisms are explained to be more malleable than pure genetics alone, suggesting that there is still a way to program people into being more physically driven rather than just blaming genetics.

How they reached this conclusion was through the creation of an epigenetic couch potato mouse. In this test subject, the researchers analysed changes in the DNA methylation in neurons within the hypothalamus. Basically science jargon which says they found a link between the couch potato mouse and voluntary exercise behaviour.

Our earlier findings suggested that establishment of ones physical activity set point can be affected by early environment, and that this may involve epigenetics, explained corresponding author Robert A. Waterland, PhD, professor of pediatrics nutrition at the USDA/ARS Childrens Nutrition Research Center at Baylor and Texas Childrens Hospital.

Further investigations were conducted to test whether DNA methylation in the brain affects energy balance. Researchers implemented running cages in the animals cages for eight weeks and observed the difference between two specific groups. The normal male mice ran approximately 6km every night whilst the mice with a specific gene blocked only ran half the distance. Naturally the latter group also lost less fat.

What the researchers concluded from the experiment was that the gene-deficient mice were capable of running the same distance as normal mice but simply lacked the desire to.

Our findings suggest that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, that are established in the brain during fetal or early postnatal life, play a major role in determining individual propensity for exercise, Waterland said.

Nowadays, as decreases in physical activity contribute to the worldwide obesity epidemic, it is increasingly important to understand how all of this works.

Epigenetics, or the study of biological changes that occur due to different chemical marks that alter the expression of our genes, proves that the beneficial effects of yoga penetrate deep into our minds and bodies and may even touch the very code of life that makes us who we are.

Do you feel stressed too often? Dont worry, youre not alone. The growing number of mentalhealth cases in India are pointing in the direction of a pressing need for attention. Research hasfound the top few sources of increasing stress in the lives of over one billion Indians to be money,work, family responsibilities, and health concerns.

Too much stress can take a significant toll on ones health. Not being able to copewith stress can lead to chronic diseases and accelerated ageing (but dont think about that toomuch, or risk adding it to your already lengthy list of issues inducing stress). If you have been trying to takemeasures to reduce therapy and have not achieved the desired outcome, there is still hope.

Epigenetic research has found that the ancient art of meditation, particularly mindfulmeditation, has numerous health and stress-reducing benefits.Yoga is the most ancient form of basic human wellness or unity of mind-body or in biologicalterms state of homoeostasis Homeo (resembling) stasis (equilibrium). In this state, all chemicalsand biochemicals in the body are in absolute balance state. All hormones calibrated (no excess orlittle testosterone, estrogen, cortisol), no excess or little adrenaline, dompamine(feel good) purged of all environmental toxins. Yoga helps in rhythmicbreathing which allows mind-body calibration resulting inneuroplasticity that fine tunes the brain or CNS to get calmer.

Calculate Your Dog’s Age With This New, Improved Formula – Smithsonian.com

Posted: November 20, 2019 at 1:50 pm

One dog year is not equivalent to seven human years, despite widespread use of the ratio for calculating the age of canine companions. Presumably, the ratio is based on the average lifespan of dogs being 10 years and humans being 70 years, its not quite so simple. The formula is not based on any real science and it was debunked by veterinarians years ago.

But geneticists digging into the mysteries of aging have developed a new calculation to understand how our canine companions' ages correspond to our own.

Calculate

(*Only enter numbers greater than zero)

Your dog's age in human years is:

To understand how dogs age, the team looked at a phenomenon called DNA methylation. As mammals get older, their DNA picks up methyl groups that "stick" to their DNA. While these groups dont change the DNA itself, they attach to the genetic molecule and can turn certain genes on or off, which is an important part of epigenetics, or the way environmental factors cause certain genes to express themselves.

Methlyation occurs at a relatively steady rate as humans age, which allows researchers to estimate a person's age, a process theyve dubbed the epigenetic clock.

In the new paper on dog years, which has yet to be peer reviewed and is currently posted on the preprint server bioRxiv, a team led by Tina Wang of the University of California, San Diego, compared the epigenetic clocks in people to canines to better understand the genes associated with aging. They picked dogs because most live in the same environments as humans and also receive some degree of medical care, like humans do.

The team looked at methylation rates in 104 Labrador retrievers between the ages of four weeks and 16 years old, reports Michelle Starr at Science Alert. They then compared them to published methylation profiles of 320 humans from age one to 103. (They also compared both to 133 mice methylation profiles.)

It turns out some parts of a dogs life follows the same pattern as humans, though other longevity milestones dont link up quite as nicely. For instance, the methylation rate showed a seven-week-old pup corresponds to a 9-month-old human baby, and both species begin to get their first teeth at this time.

But the comparison breaks down after early puppyhood. The dog clock ticks much faster with pups speeding through puberty and reaching sexual maturity within their first year. Then, the dog's epigenetic clock slows down as the dog ages, and begins to match up with humans again in its later years.

Overall, the average 12-year lifespan of a Labrador lined up with the average worldwide lifespan of humans, which is about 70 years.

While the study complicates the concept of dog years, it does show that the animals experience similar methylation processes as humans.

We already knew that dogs get the same diseases and functional declines of aging that humans do, and this work provides evidence that similar molecular changes are also occurring during aging, Matt Kaeberlein, a biogerontologist at the University of Washington who was not involved in the study, tells Virginia Morell at Science. Its a beautiful demonstration of the conserved features of the epigenetic age clocks shared by dogs and humans.

The new formula for a dogs ages based on the study requires a little more math than multiplying by seven. You multiply the natural logarithm of a dog's age by 16, then add 31 [human_age = 16ln(dog_age) + 31].

According to the formula, a 2-year-old dog is the equivalent of a 42-year-old human, but things slow down after that. A 5-year-old dog is the equivalent of a 56.75 year old human, and a 10-year-old dog is the equivalent of 67.8-year-old person.

Evolutionary biologist Steve Austad of the University of Alabama in Birmingham, who was not involved in the study, tells Morell that hes not too surprised that the epigenetic clock applies to dogs, too. He says that by studying different dog breeds with different lifespans the researchers may find some interesting results.

This formula is not the last word on dog years, however, especially since it only looked at one breed. Erika Mansourian, writing for the American Kennel Club, reports that the American Veterinary Medical Association says the accurate way to calculate dog years for a medium-sized dog is to assume the first year is equivalent to 15 years and age two adds another nine years. After that, each year of a dogs life is equivalent to five human years. It doesn't perfectly line up with the new formula, but both acknowledge that dogs age rapidly in their first years of life.

Whatever the case, dogs lives are all too short. That may be why people are excited about a project by the Dog Aging Project, which is currently recruiting 10,000 pets and their owners to participate in a new study that will look at the dogs' health, gut microbes, diet and exercise to understand aging. And 500 lucky dogs will test out a new drug that may help slow the aging process, which could help us someday, too.

Reprogramming ant ‘soldiers’ – Penn: Office of University Communications

Posted: November 20, 2019 at 1:50 pm

Through early adulthood, exposure to new experienceslike learning to drive a car or memorizing information for an examtriggers change in the human brain, re-wiring neural pathways to imprint memories and modify behavior. Similar to humans, the behavior of Florida carpenter ants is not set in stonetheir roles, whether it is protecting the colony or foraging for food, are determined by signals from the physical and social environment early in their life. But questions remain about how long they are vulnerable to epigenetic changes and what pathways govern social behavior in ants.

Now, a team led by researchers in thePerelman School of Medicine discovered that a protein called CoREST, a neural repressor that is also found in humans, plays a central role in determining the social behavior of ants. The results, published inMolecular Cell, also revealed that worker ants called Majors, known as brawny soldiers that protect colonies, can be reprogrammed to perform the foraging rolegenerally reserved for their sisters, the Minor antsup to five days after they emerge as an adult ant. However, the reprogramming is ineffective at the 10-day mark, revealing how narrow the window of epigenetic plasticity is in ants.

How behavior becomes established in humans is deeply fascinatingwe know its quite plastic especially during childhood and early adolescencehowever, of course, we cannot study or manipulate this experimentally, saysthe studys senior authorShelley Berger, the Daniel S. Och University Professor in the departments of Cell and Developmental Biology and Biology, and director of the Penn Epigenetics Institute. Ants, with their complex societies and behavior, and similar plasticity, provide a wonderful laboratory model to understand the underlying mechanisms and pathways."

Nurture vs Nature: Epigenetics, IVF and the Donor Egg – Parentology

Posted: November 15, 2019 at 3:46 pm

Theres no shortage of data highlighting how humans have impacted their environment. From climate change to Feng Shui, people constantly alter their surroundings to suit their needs. What is less understood is how environment can impact human development.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) gives many hopeful parents the opportunity to create a family. With the use of donor eggs, hopeful parents-to-be often assumed that the child wouldnt share any of their characteristics. However, with the development of epigenetics, this isnt altogether true.

Epigenetics is the study of how lifestyle choices can impact your DNA, while not actually changing it. External factors can include environment, what we consume, how we are raised and even how we feel about our world. If we think about a DVD, we cant alter the content, but we can adjust the picture, language preferences, volume settings, etc. Through the lens of IVF with donor eggs, epigenetics observes how non-genetic characteristics (or markers) can be transmitted from parent to offspring.

Stress, exercise, proper nutrition during pregnancy, the general health status of both partners, these are all factors that can affect how your babys genes are expressed, Carrie Nicols, organic farmer and student of holistic nutrition tells Parentology. Even if you use donor eggs, your biography can inform your childs biology.

What does expression mean? Nicols likens the process to light switches. Certain characteristics can be turned on or off depending on the stimuli, she says. Once we know what triggers them proper nutrition for example we can figure out how to manipulate them for better overall health.

If epigenetics has the potential to alter or affect health conditions such as obesity, diabetes and even psychiatric illness, it stands to reason physical and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy would certainly be impacted. In 2009, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center suggested our social environment, including maternal care, can induce epigenetic changes.

Nicols agrees. While factors such as nutrition, stress and hormones wont change your genetic code directly, they can certainly leave an imprint to pass along to your children.

The impact of environment on an embryo in utero cant be overstated. Researchers studied the effects of malnutrition on women and the children they produced between 1944 and 1945. Not surprisingly, mothers with limited access to food produced underweight babies.

What was surprising was that those babies grew up to have underweight babies, even after the effects of food insecurity were felt. Of those babies that survived, malnutrition had changed a marker in their genetic code, leading researchers to determine that the nine months in utero were the most important period in determining how much or how little genetic activity genes will produce during a persons life.

If a woman is undergoing IVF using donor eggs, this argument proves particularly relevant. Dr. Norbert Gleicher, Medical Director and Chief Scientist at the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) in New York, agrees. While (women) do not contribute maternal genes to the baby, they determine, in very significant ways, how these genes will work during the individuals lifetime, he tells Parentology.

Moreover, Gleicher says a womans impact on her embryo while its in utero not only affects her unborn child. Maybe even more importantly, (genes that are) programmed during the in utero period can also be inherited into future generations. Therefore, you may be important not only for how your own childs genes function, but also how your grandchilds genes will be functioning, even if you used donor eggs.

Ultimately, pregnancy demands a change in your lifestyle. Regardless of whether you have IVF using donor eggs or conceive naturally, the incentive to eat well, rest and take care of yourself is paramount to the health and well-being of your child.
