| Abstract | The genome-wide epigenetic alterations (DNA methylation) in germ cells have not been extensively studied in mice by exposure to environmental hazards. We first report here that a genome-wide analysis of CpG methylation in F1 mice sperm by maternal exposure to the anti-androgenic compound vinclozolin (VCZ). The gestated (GD) female mice (n=8) were injected intraperitoneally with VCZ (100 mg/kg/day), from GD 8 to GD 15 to induce reproductive toxicity and epigenetic alterations in mice. Our observations showed a loss of normal spermatogenesis and abnormal seminiferous tubule morphology in VCZ-treated F1 males. We also confirmed reduced fertility of the VCZ-exposed F1 male mice and increased abnormality in F2 fetuses. We compared the methylation patterns of five untreated with 13 VCZ-treated F1 mice male via high-resolution CpG microarray analysis to determine CpG methylation alterations in F1 male sperm DNA. The overall methylation between control and treated F1 sperm showed normal distribution, and differentially methylated CpG islands were frequently mapped between the −0.5 kb and +1.0 kb regions of the transcription start site (TSS). We identified more than several hundred epigenetically altered genes by statistical analysis (P<0.05). More than 50% of the statistically significantly methylated loci were also mapped at the vicinity of TSS. We further examined the effects of VCZ on the mouse repeated elements and paternally imprinted genes. VCZ induced no epigenetic alterations in repeated mouse elements (LINE and B1) and the paternally imprinted Dlk1 gene, whereas it did affect the paternally imprinted H19 gene. In conclusion, we successfully explored VCZ-induced genome-wide epigenetic changes on F1 mice sperm DNA by global methylation profiling, and our data will provide important clues for studying the epigenetic changes of germ cells due to exposure to environmental hazards. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
