RESUMO

In mammals, the molecular mechanisms underlying transgenerational inheritance of phenotypic traits in serial generations of progeny after ancestral environmental exposures, without variation in DNA sequence, remain elusive. We've recently described transmission of a beneficial trait in rats and mice, in which F0 supplementation of methyl donors, including folic acid, generates enhanced axon regeneration after sharp spinal cord injury in untreated F1 to F3 progeny linked to differential DNA methylation levels in spinal cord tissue. To test whether the transgenerational effect of folic acid is transmitted via the germline, we performed whole-genome methylation sequencing on sperm DNA from F0 mice treated with either folic acid or vehicle control, and their F1, F2, and F3 untreated progeny. Transgenerational differentially methylated regions (DMRs) are observed in each consecutive generation and distinguish folic acid from untreated lineages, predominate outside of CpG islands and in regions of the genome that regulate gene expression, including promoters, and overlap at both the differentially methylated position (DMP) and gene levels. These findings indicate that molecular changes between generations are caused by ancestral folate supplementation. In addition, 29,719 DMPs exhibit serial increases or decreases in DNA methylation levels in successive generations of untreated offspring, correlating with a serial increase in the phenotype across generations, consistent with a 'wash-in' effect. Sibship-specific DMPs annotate to genes that participate in axon- and synapse-related pathways.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: While navigating the ventricles with a rigid endoscope provides excellent visualization and the ability to use endoscopic instruments for complex surgery, these endoscopes are often too large to navigate tight areas. We present a surgical video showing the technique of mother-daughter endoscopy, which consists of the introduction of a flexible 1-mm fiberoptic endoscope through the channel of a large rigid endoscope to allow visualization across small spaces or channels, in this case, the cerebral aqueduct. This combination of superior visualization and handling of rigid endoscopes and flexibility and small size of fiberoptic endoscopes enhances safety and broadens possibilities in ventricular surgery. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 64-year-old woman with prior endoscopic aqueductoplasty for triventricular hydrocephalus and a failed endoscopic third ventriculostomy presented with focal restenosis of the aqueduct. A repeat endoscopic aqueductoplasty with stent placement were performed. Mother-daughter endoscopy was used to explore the occluded aqueduct for improved safety before fenestration and to ensure proper stent placement after fenestration. CONCLUSION: Mother-daughter endoscopy can add safety to complex or high-risk endoscopic procedures, particularly those with tight spaces that the large mother endoscope cannot visualize.
