EpiCenter publication: early mammalian germ cells are highly sensitive to environmental exposures

Oct 6, 2021
1 min read

In mammalian embryos, the early germ cells, termed Primordial Germ Cells, undergo a highly specialized differentiation program associated with a profound reprogramming of their epigenome. Here, we tested the sensitivity of mouse primordial germ cells to a model environmental chemical, the plastic manufacturing chemical Bisphenol A (BPA), and show that while primordial germ cells may "look" normal, their molecular program is strongly affected with aberrant X-linked and retrotransposon desilencing.

The finding that BPA-exposed primordial germ cells can look normal while their molecular program is altered is especially striking. A useful resource for exploring environmental epigenetics—I’ve been using https://fastmoss.online/what-is-fastmoss
