摘要

Background Cerebellum is an area of the brain particularly sensitive to the effects of acute and chronic alcohol consumption. Alcohol exposure decreases cerebellar Purkinje cell output by increasing GABA release from Golgi cells onto extrasynaptic α6/δ-containing GABAA receptors located on glutamatergic granule cells. Here, we studied whether chronic alcohol consumption induces changes in GABAA receptor subunit expression and whether these changes are associated with alterations in epigenetic mechanisms via DNA methylation. Methods We used a cohort of postmortem cerebellum from control and chronic alcoholics, here defined as alcohol use disorders subjects (n=25/group). S -adenosyl-methionine/ S -adenosyl-homocysteine were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. mRNA levels of various genes were assessed by reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Promoter methylation enrichment was assessed using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and hydroxy-methylated DNA immunoprecipitation assays. Results mRNAs encoding key enzymes of 1-carbon metabolism that determine the S -adenosyl-methionine/ S -adenosyl-homocysteine ratio were increased, indicating higher “methylation index” in alcohol use disorder subjects. We found that increased methylation of the promoter of the δ subunit GABAA receptor was associated with reduced mRNA and protein levels in the cerebellum of alcohol use disorder subjects. No changes were observed in α1- or α6-containing GABAA receptor subunits. The expression of DNA-methyltransferases (1, 3A, and 3B) was unaltered, whereas the mRNA level of TET1, which participates in the DNA demethylation pathway, was decreased. Hence, increased methylation of the δ subunit GABAA receptor promoter may result from alcohol-induced reduction of DNA demethylation. Conclusion Together, these results support the hypothesis that aberrant DNA methylation pathways may be involved in cerebellar pathophysiology of alcoholism. Furthermore, this work provides novel evidence for a central role of DNA methylation mechanisms in the alcohol-induced neuroadaptive changes of human cerebellar GABAA receptor function. alcohol , cerebellum , GABAA receptor , one-carbon metabolism , methylation Significance Statement The cerebellum, an area of the brain exerting a strong control on posture, motor, and cognitive function, is particularly sensitive to the effects of both acute and chronic alcohol exposure. Alcohol-induced facilitation of GABAergic neurotransmission impairs cerebellar function by increasing GABA release from Golgi cells onto the extrasynaptic GABAA receptors. Our study demonstrates an enhancement of the 1-carbon metabolism leading to an increased DNA “methylation index” in cerebellum of alcohol use disorders (AUD) subjects. These changes were associated with a selective hypermethylation of the promoter region and a reduced expression of the extrasynaptic δ-containing GABAA receptor located on cerebellar granule cells. This work provides evidence for a central role of DNA methylation in the chronic alcohol-induced neuroadaptive changes of extrasynaptic (tonic) GABAA receptor structure and function in the human cerebellum.
