Popis: Exposure to stress during the life-course has consistently been associated with neuropsychological disorders, but the precise role of stress released glucocorticoids remains unclear in this context. We aimed at using hippocampal gene expression data from macaques to identify clusters of genes sensible to glucocorticoid exposure and create a biologically relevant polygenic score to investigate emotional disorders in a child and adult humans exposed to early adversity. RNA-sequencing data from the posterior dentate gyrus (pDG) of adult Macaca fascicularis females treated with Betamethasone (glucocorticoid) or saline injections for 8 consecutive days were analyzed from two cohorts: Singapore (reference) and Vietnam (replication) with N=12/each. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify clusters (modules) of co-expressed genes associated with betamethasone. In Singaporean animals, genes were clustered in 52 modules, in which 5 were associated with betamethasone. Two modules were preserved in a replication dataset (Vietnam) and in data from female rats treated with corticosterone for 6 weeks, being the black module (557 genes, P=0.01, r=0.7) the one having the highest correlation with glucocorticoid exposure.
