| Abstract | Background The trend of postponing childbearing age is prevalent worldwide. Advanced paternal age (APA) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and offspring health. However, the underlying mechanism by which paternal aging affects the risk of offspring neuropsychiatric disorders is unclear. Our study aims to explore the behavioral phenotypes and the pathologic epigenetic alterations of APA offspring inherited from aging sperm. Methods Behavioral tests, ELISA assay, immunofluorescence and western blotting were performed on offspring mice. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) and RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) were used to investigate the modified N6-methyladenosine (m6A) profiles of paternal sperm and offspring hippocampus. Intervention of gene expression by lentivirus and adeno-associated virus in both vivo and vitro examined the potential therapeutic targets of intergenerational inherited neuroinflammation. Results In our study, APA offspring exhibit cognitive impairment and autism-like behavior. An increase in neuroinflammation in APA offspring is associated with microglial overactivation, which manifests as abnormal morphology and augmented engulfment. MeRIP-seq of F0 sperm and F1 hippocampus reveal that Nr4a2 is hypermethylated with decreased expression in APA offspring involving in synaptic plasticity and microglial function. In addition, Ythdc1, an m6A reader protein, is markedly elevated in aging sperm and remains elevated in adult hippocampus of APA group. Enhanced Ythdc1 recognizes and suppresses the hypermethylated Nr4a2, thereby contributing to the abnormal phenotype in offspring. The overexpression of Ythdc1 triggers microglial activation in vitro and its suppression in the hippocampus of APA progeny alleviates behavioral aberrations and attenuates neuroinflammation. Conclusion Our study provides additional evidence of the abnormal behavioral phenotypes of APA offspring and reveals potential epigenetic inheritance signatures and targeted genes for future research. |

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.
