Glucocorticoid exposure during hippocampal neurogenesis primes future stress response by inducing changes in DNA methylation
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Prenatal stress exposure is associated with a wide range of health problems later in life. This may be mediated in part via glucocorticoid (GC) exposure during fetal development known to impact neurogenesis and induce epigenetic changes. Using a human fetal hippocampal progenitor cell line to assess the effects of GCs, we observe that exposure to GCs early during neurogenesis results in lasting changes in DNA methylation (DNAm). Lasting DNAm alterations are associated with significantly enhanced transcriptional response to a subsequent GC exposure. Our data suggest that early exposure to GCs changes the set point of future transcriptional responses to stress by inducing lasting DNAm changes. Such altered set points may relate to differential vulnerability to stress exposure later in life.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
