Title |
Transgenerational inheritance of mitochondrial stress adaptation in C. elegans |
Organism |
Caenorhabditis elegans |
Experiment type |
Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
|
Summary |
Using Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate environmental cues-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, we found that exposure to electron transport chain (ETC) inhibitors at the parental generation initiates the transmission of heritable information to descendants and make descendants stress-adaptive. This mitochondrial stress adaptation phenotype can persist for at least three generations. Animals lacking histone H3K4me3 chromatin modifiers, or the methyltransferase of N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA), lose the ability to initiate stress adaptation in progeny. H3K4me3 plays a role upstream of 6mA, while both mark promoter regions of mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR mt ) genes and activate the UPR mt pathway to alleviate mitochondrial damage.
