  • Gene Regulation Contributes to Explain the Impact of Early Life
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Gene regulation contributes to explain the impact of early life socioeconomic disadvantage on adult infammatory levels in two cohort studies Cristian Carmeli1,2*, Zoltán Kutalik2,3, Pashupati P. Mishra4, Eleonora Porcu2,3,5, Cyrille Delpierre6, Olivier Delaneau7, Michelle Kelly‑Irving6, Murielle Bochud2, Nasser A. Dhayat8, Belen Ponte9, Menno Pruijm10, Georg Ehret11, Mika Kähönen12, Terho Lehtimäki4, Olli T. Raitakari13,14,15, Paolo Vineis16, Mika Kivimäki17, Marc Chadeau‑Hyam16, Emmanouil Dermitzakis18, Nicolas Vuilleumier19 & Silvia Stringhini2,20 Individuals experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage in childhood have a higher rate of infammation‑ related diseases decades later. Little is known about the mechanisms linking early life experiences to the functioning of the immune system in adulthood. To address this, we explore the relationship across social‑to‑biological layers of early life social exposures on levels of adulthood infammation and the mediating role of gene regulatory mechanisms, epigenetic and transcriptomic profling from blood, in 2,329 individuals from two European cohort studies. Consistently across both studies, we fnd transcriptional activity explains a substantive proportion (78% and 26%) of the estimated efect of early life disadvantaged social exposures on levels of adulthood infammation. Furthermore, we show that mechanisms other than cis DNA methylation may regulate those transcriptional fngerprints. These results further our understanding of social‑to‑biological transitions by pinpointing the role of gene regulation that cannot fully be explained by diferential cis DNA methylation. Infammatory processes have been suggested as a potential pathophysiological mechanism underlying the devel- opment of several major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular, metabolic and psychotic disorders1.
