We examined whether body mass index (BMI)-related DNA methylation (DNAm) variation would mediate the association of BMI with blood pressure (BP). We first conducted a genomewide DNA methylation analysis in monozygotic twin pairs to detect BMI-related DNAm variation and then evaluated the mediating effect of DNAm on the relationship between BMI and BP levels using the causal inference test (CIT) method and mediation analysis. Ontology enrichment analysis was performed for CpGs using the GREAT tool. A total of 60 twin pairs for BMI and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 58 twin pairs for BMI and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were included. BMI was positively associated with SBP (β = 1.86, <i>p</i> = .0004). The association between BMI and DNAm of 85 CpGs reached <i>p</i> < 1×10<sup>-4</sup> level. Eleven BMI-related differentially methylated regions (DMRs) within <i>LNCPRESS1</i>, <i>OGDHL</i>, <i>RNU1-44P</i>, <i>NPHS1</i>, <i>ECEL1P2</i>, <i>LLGL2</i>, <i>RNY4P15</i>, <i>MOGAT3</i>, <i>PHACTR3</i>, and <i>BAI2</i> were found.

Of the 9 CpGs, 2 within <i>ABCA2</i> negatively mediated the association between BMI and SBP, with a mediating effect of -0.24 (95% CI [-0.65, -0.01]). BMI was also positively associated with DBP (β = 0.60, <i>p</i> = .0495). The association between BMI and DNAm of 193 CpGs reached <i>p</i> < 1×10<sup>-4</sup> level. Twenty-five BMI-related DMRs within <i>OGDHL</i>, <i>POU4F2</i>, <i>ECEL1P2</i>, <i>TTC6</i>, <i>SMPD4</i>, <i>EP400</i>, <i>TUBA1C</i> and <i>AGAP2</i> were found.

Interestingly, BMI might also negatively mediate the association between the DNAm of most CpG mediators mentioned above and BP. The mediating effect of DNAm was also found when stratified by sex. In conclusion, DNAm variation may partially negatively mediate the association of BMI with BP.

Genetic common factor modeling showed that three facets of self-perception (physical competence, peer acceptance, and maternal acceptance) loaded onto a single heritable factor in children. Multilevel modeling showed no effects of self or co-twin sex on self-perception, but authoritative parenting style was negatively related to self-perception in boys. Similarly, in Study 2, with the adult sample, five self-esteem items loaded on a single heritable factor with no effects of co-twin sex on adult self-esteem. Remembered maternal affection, paternal affection, and maternal discipline were positively related to self-esteem in adults; maternal affection was especially significant for women. The reversal in direction of parenting effects between early childhood and adulthood suggests that parents may play different roles in shaping how children and adults think of themselves.

It is well known that genetic and environmental factors influence gene expression, but our understanding of their relative importance remains limited. To obtain a hint for the understanding of their contributions, we took advantage of monozygotic twins, as they share genetic and shared environmental factors but differ in nonshared factors, such as environmental differences and stochastic factors. In this study, we performed cap analysis of gene expression on three pairs of twins and clustered each individual based on their expression profiles of annotated genes. The dendrogram of annotated gene transcripts showed a monophyletic clade for each twin pair. We also analyzed the expression of retrotransposons, such as human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs), given their abundance in the genome. Clustering analyses demonstrated that HERV and LINE expression diverged even within monozygotic twin pairs. Thus, HERVs and LINEs are more susceptible to nonshared factors than annotated genes. Motif analysis of differentially expressed annotated genes suggests that specificity protein/Krüppel-like factor family transcription factors are involved in the expression divergence of annotated gene influenced by nonshared factors. Collectively, our findings suggest that expressions of annotated genes and retrotransposons are differently regulated, and that the expression of retrotransposons is more susceptible to nonshared factors than annotated genes.</p>","PeriodicalId":23446,"journal":{"name":"Twin Research and Human Genetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41238999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
