+ | Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a major global health concern (Peacock et al., 2018). There are considerable efforts being made to identify new molecular targets within the brain for the development of more effective therapies to treat this addictive disorder. As an approach in this direction, new research by Mews et al., 2019 published recently in Nature has demonstrated that the tertiary metabolite of alcohol (acetyl-CoA) is important in regulating ethanol’s effects in the brain and serves as a substrate in directly promoting histone acetylation, thereby regulating gene expression in the neurons and alcohol-related behaviors | ||

+ | Ethanol metabolism has previously been identified as an important factor in the toxic effects produced by ethanol consumption (Cederbaum, 2012). Ethanol is metabolized to acetyl-CoA through a three-step process, starting first with the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase IB in the liver (Cederbaum, 2012). Other tissue-specific enzymes, such as alcohol dehydrogenase IA, are also important in this step. Acetaldehyde is then converted to acetic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, which is the rate-limiting step of alcohol metabolism. Finally, acetic acid is converted to Acetyl-CoA, where it enters the citric cycle and can be released as H2O and CO2. Acetaldehyde is a highly reactive species that induces oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and cytokine formation (Guo and Ren, 2010). Furthermore, build-up of acetaldehyde is often found in heavy drinkers, and individuals without functioning aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 have vasodilation, nausea, and dysphasia when alcohol is consumed (Cederbaum, 2012, Guo and Ren, 2010). Efforts to capitalize on this effect as a deterrent to alcohol consumption resulted in the use of disulfiram (Antabuse) in the clinic to limited efficacy. Furthermore, ethanol has been shown to affect a staggeringly large number of different organ systems (notably the liver and brain) and a substantial number of different cell-transduction pathways, including epigenetic processes (Cederbaum, 2012, Choudhury and Shukla, 2008, Pandey et al., 2017). Chronic ethanol exposure is known to contribute to many of the negative physiological symptoms of withdrawal (Koob and Volkow, 2016, Pandey et al., 2017). | ||
+ | Histone acetylation is one of the most studied epigenetic processes that controls gene transcription (Pandey et al., 2017). The effects of acute ethanol on the epigenome via histone acetylation appear to be involved in anxiolytic effects (Pandey et al., 2017). Several previous studies have demonstrated that acute ethanol has the ability to activate histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs) in the brain (Pandey et al., 2017; Figure 1). These properties may lead to increased histone acetylation (active epigenetic marks) that produces chromatin remodeling and changes in gene expression in the amygdala, a brain region responsible for comorbidity of anxiety and AUD (Pandey et al., 2008, Pandey et al., 2017). Previous research has demonstrated that different alcohols and their metabolites can also induce changes to histone acetylation in hepatocytes (Choudhury and Shukla, 2008). | ||
+ | Mews et al. have suggested that acetate coming from the liver directly binds to neuronal chromatin (Figure 1) and is then converted to acetyl-CoA via chromatin-bound acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) (Mews et al., 2019). This appears to be another fascinating epigenetic mechanism involved in the action of ethanol. The current research elegantly combines metabolomics and RNA and ChIP sequencing to show that alcohol contributes to histone acetylation in the mouse brain. Using liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry, the authors demonstrate that a single intraperitoneal injection of deuterated ethanol into mice rapidly increases histone acetylation in the dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) and prefrontal cortex (as well as the liver), and this increase lasts about 8 h. The authors further demonstrate that this is regulated by chromatin-bound acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2). Interestingly, alcohol exposure produces more H3K9ac and H3K27ac peaks in dHPC at the genome-wide level, which is prevented by the knockdown of ACSS2. This manipulation also prevents ethanol-conditioned place preference, suggesting that ACSS2 is required for ethanol reward learning, and provides more experimental evidence that epigenetic mechanisms are required for learning and memory. Previous studies have shown that learning and memory crucially rely on histone deacetylase-2-mediated epigenetic processes (Guan et al., 2009), and this new evidence creates a clearer picture about how ethanol facilitates its rewarding properties via ACSS2-dependent histone acetylation (Mews et al., 2019). | ||
+ | Since both ethanol and its secondary metabolite are known to be involved in changes in gene expression, the authors also evaluated if there was significant overlap between genes upregulated by the addition of acetate (ex vivo) and ethanol (in vivo) using RNA sequencing. There was substantial overlap between genes induced by acetate and ethanol (830 genes). An additional 1,010 genes were upregulated by ethanol and 2,783 upregulated by acetate, suggesting that there are also effects of ethanol that are independent of an acetate-induced mechanism. While the authors did perform gene ontology (GO) analysis on genes induced by acetate, it would also be interesting to see what GO analysis was involved for genes that overlapped with exposure to ethanol and exposure to acetate. Also, it would be interesting to examine if acetate has any direct effects on other epigenetic players responsible for histone acetylation changes in the brain, such as HATs and HDACs. | ||
+ | Transgenerational epigenetic regulation by drugs of abuse has been an area of intense study, particularly in the field of alcohol abuse (Chastain and Sarkar, 2017). Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) occurs when the fetus is harmed during prenatal alcohol exposure. The authors demonstrate that maternal exposure to alcohol also causes changes in histone acetylation in the fetal brain, and this may contribute to the distinctive facial features, learning disabilities, and psychiatric symptoms that characterize this disorder by causing epigenetic dysregulation of tightly controlled developmental pathways (Mews et al., 2019). | ||
+ | In summary, this study helps to answer questions regarding how acute ethanol increases histone acetylation and contributes significantly to our understanding of epigenetic regulation produced by alcohol drinking. Previous studies have indicated that histone deacetylase pathways are crucial in alcohol withdrawal and dependence and could be acting as a responsive mechanism for epigenetic reprogramming (Pandey et al., 2008, Pandey et al., 2017). Several key questions remain, specifically how an ACSS2-dependent histone acetylation mechanism contributes to the withdrawal aspects and ethanol tolerance that are observed in both animal models of alcohol dependence and in clinical populations. It would be interesting to see an expansion of this research to explore these topics. | ||

acetaldehyde dehydrogenase
Coding protein for acetaldehyde dehydrogenase convert acetaldehyde into acetyl-CoA.
CH3CHO + NAD+ + CoA → acetyl-CoA + NADH + H+
This part was designed by the 2012 iGEM UC Merced team and it is a gene that is involved in the E. Coli glucose metabolism pathway. Our team characterized this part by performing an in silico knockout of this gene. Using quantitative analysis, we discovered that its deletion does not affect the growth of E. Coli when under optimal conditions to produce a 4:1 hydrogen production to glucose uptake ratio. More importantly, we identified possible non-lethal gene deletions that may help maximize hydrogen production in the dark fermentation process.
First, we measured the growth of E. Coli bacteria under the conditions in which the insertion of mhpF allows the production of hydrogen to glucose uptake ratio to be 4:1. This was done using the Constraint Model Based Reconstruction and Analysis (COBRA) toolbox on Matlab platform which allowed us to constrain the uptake of glucose and hydrogen release to a ratio of 4:1 on our E. Coli glucose metabolism model. Our results were performed using Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) on the Core E. Coli Model by the Systems Biology Research Group at the University of California generated from the current gene expression data on E. coli.
Figure 1. Demonstrates the growth of E.coli when subject to the hydrogen release to glucose uptake requirement.
Our results showed that when the MhpF gene is introduced, E. Coli growth is higher under anaerobic conditions than aerobic conditions when under stress requirement to produce a 4:1 hydrogen to glucose ratio. This was achieved by setting oxygen flux values to both unlimited and zero for aerobic and anaerobic conditions respectively, whilst measuring E. coli’s growth in rate per hour. Growth measurements were done as a quantitative measure of how E.coli performs against the gene modification added to its metabolism.
Furthermore, our analysis from Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) validated team UC Merced hypothesis that removing IdhA, pfIB and adhE from E. coli fermentation pathway and replacing it with mhpF, pyruvate decarboxylase and ferredoxin oxidoreductase. This was achieved by performing in silico knockouts of IdhA, pfIB and adhE on the E. coli model and multiple gene insertions of mhpF, pyruvate decarboxylate and ferredoxin and looking at how the shift in metabolism network improve hydrogen yield under anaerobic condition.
Figure 2.Shift in metabolism flux network when E. coli model is subjected to hydrogen release to glucose uptake 4:1 ratio under aerobic conditions (left) and anaerobic conditions(right).
Next, we analyzed the effect of deleting the mhpF gene on the growth rate of E. Coli (in biomass/hour). The quantitative analysis shows that the growth remained the same, which indicates that the mhpF gene does not affect the growth rate of E. Coli. This served as motivation to perform more single gene deletions on the E.coli model. We analyzed the effect of creating knockouts of all the genes involved in glucose metabolism on the bacteria by examining the lethality of deleting each gene. Team UC Merced attempted to create knockouts of three genes, and below we present suggestions regarding the genes in the dark fermentation process that can be deleted without being lethal. Deletions of genes in the dark fermentation process, a form of anaerobic conversion would facilitate the conversion of organic substrate to biohydrogen. (see Table 1)
For instance our analysis from the gene deletion suggested that the deletion zwf gene( glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase) which is principal in the pentose pathway would be lethal to the E. coli. It turns out that zwf and mphF gene is overexpressed in the dark fermentation process. Even though both are very necessary for hydrogen production, mphF deletion would not result in much difference in the flux. Further our metabolic network flux predicts that the overexpression of zwf leads to the diversion of carbon flux through the PP pathway and hence result in an increase in the efficiency of the production of H2.
Finally, a robustness analysis was performed to verify the validity of the results by setting fixed amounts of glucose and hydrogen and measuring the growth as a function of the oxygen concentration. This analysis was performed to demonstrate the strength of our model's prediction. The linear graph predicts a linear rise in growth with an intermittent increase in glucose intake. This agrees and supports our previous data which suggested that mphF is implied in the increase in growth of E.coli when subject to the condition stipulated above.
In sum , using metabolic modeling allow for in silico gene knockouts and metabolic analysis that unveiled non lethal gene deletions and insertion that would prove useful for the generation of biohydrogen from E.coli. Using metabolic modeling, it is easier to generate genetic changes that would optimize hydrogen production from E.coli. graph robustness
Finally, a robustness analysis was performed to verify the validity of the results by setting fixed amounts of glucose and hydrogen and measuring the growth as a function of the oxygen concentration.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a major global health concern (Peacock et al., 2018). There are considerable efforts being made to identify new molecular targets within the brain for the development of more effective therapies to treat this addictive disorder. As an approach in this direction, new research by Mews et al., 2019 published recently in Nature has demonstrated that the tertiary metabolite of alcohol (acetyl-CoA) is important in regulating ethanol’s effects in the brain and serves as a substrate in directly promoting histone acetylation, thereby regulating gene expression in the neurons and alcohol-related behaviors
Ethanol metabolism has previously been identified as an important factor in the toxic effects produced by ethanol consumption (Cederbaum, 2012). Ethanol is metabolized to acetyl-CoA through a three-step process, starting first with the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase IB in the liver (Cederbaum, 2012). Other tissue-specific enzymes, such as alcohol dehydrogenase IA, are also important in this step. Acetaldehyde is then converted to acetic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, which is the rate-limiting step of alcohol metabolism. Finally, acetic acid is converted to Acetyl-CoA, where it enters the citric cycle and can be released as H2O and CO2. Acetaldehyde is a highly reactive species that induces oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and cytokine formation (Guo and Ren, 2010). Furthermore, build-up of acetaldehyde is often found in heavy drinkers, and individuals without functioning aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 have vasodilation, nausea, and dysphasia when alcohol is consumed (Cederbaum, 2012, Guo and Ren, 2010). Efforts to capitalize on this effect as a deterrent to alcohol consumption resulted in the use of disulfiram (Antabuse) in the clinic to limited efficacy. Furthermore, ethanol has been shown to affect a staggeringly large number of different organ systems (notably the liver and brain) and a substantial number of different cell-transduction pathways, including epigenetic processes (Cederbaum, 2012, Choudhury and Shukla, 2008, Pandey et al., 2017). Chronic ethanol exposure is known to contribute to many of the negative physiological symptoms of withdrawal (Koob and Volkow, 2016, Pandey et al., 2017). Histone acetylation is one of the most studied epigenetic processes that controls gene transcription (Pandey et al., 2017). The effects of acute ethanol on the epigenome via histone acetylation appear to be involved in anxiolytic effects (Pandey et al., 2017). Several previous studies have demonstrated that acute ethanol has the ability to activate histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs) in the brain (Pandey et al., 2017; Figure 1). These properties may lead to increased histone acetylation (active epigenetic marks) that produces chromatin remodeling and changes in gene expression in the amygdala, a brain region responsible for comorbidity of anxiety and AUD (Pandey et al., 2008, Pandey et al., 2017). Previous research has demonstrated that different alcohols and their metabolites can also induce changes to histone acetylation in hepatocytes (Choudhury and Shukla, 2008). Mews et al. have suggested that acetate coming from the liver directly binds to neuronal chromatin (Figure 1) and is then converted to acetyl-CoA via chromatin-bound acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) (Mews et al., 2019). This appears to be another fascinating epigenetic mechanism involved in the action of ethanol. The current research elegantly combines metabolomics and RNA and ChIP sequencing to show that alcohol contributes to histone acetylation in the mouse brain. Using liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry, the authors demonstrate that a single intraperitoneal injection of deuterated ethanol into mice rapidly increases histone acetylation in the dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) and prefrontal cortex (as well as the liver), and this increase lasts about 8 h. The authors further demonstrate that this is regulated by chromatin-bound acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2). Interestingly, alcohol exposure produces more H3K9ac and H3K27ac peaks in dHPC at the genome-wide level, which is prevented by the knockdown of ACSS2. This manipulation also prevents ethanol-conditioned place preference, suggesting that ACSS2 is required for ethanol reward learning, and provides more experimental evidence that epigenetic mechanisms are required for learning and memory. Previous studies have shown that learning and memory crucially rely on histone deacetylase-2-mediated epigenetic processes (Guan et al., 2009), and this new evidence creates a clearer picture about how ethanol facilitates its rewarding properties via ACSS2-dependent histone acetylation (Mews et al., 2019). Since both ethanol and its secondary metabolite are known to be involved in changes in gene expression, the authors also evaluated if there was significant overlap between genes upregulated by the addition of acetate (ex vivo) and ethanol (in vivo) using RNA sequencing. There was substantial overlap between genes induced by acetate and ethanol (830 genes). An additional 1,010 genes were upregulated by ethanol and 2,783 upregulated by acetate, suggesting that there are also effects of ethanol that are independent of an acetate-induced mechanism. While the authors did perform gene ontology (GO) analysis on genes induced by acetate, it would also be interesting to see what GO analysis was involved for genes that overlapped with exposure to ethanol and exposure to acetate. Also, it would be interesting to examine if acetate has any direct effects on other epigenetic players responsible for histone acetylation changes in the brain, such as HATs and HDACs. Transgenerational epigenetic regulation by drugs of abuse has been an area of intense study, particularly in the field of alcohol abuse (Chastain and Sarkar, 2017). Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) occurs when the fetus is harmed during prenatal alcohol exposure. The authors demonstrate that maternal exposure to alcohol also causes changes in histone acetylation in the fetal brain, and this may contribute to the distinctive facial features, learning disabilities, and psychiatric symptoms that characterize this disorder by causing epigenetic dysregulation of tightly controlled developmental pathways (Mews et al., 2019). In summary, this study helps to answer questions regarding how acute ethanol increases histone acetylation and contributes significantly to our understanding of epigenetic regulation produced by alcohol drinking. Previous studies have indicated that histone deacetylase pathways are crucial in alcohol withdrawal and dependence and could be acting as a responsive mechanism for epigenetic reprogramming (Pandey et al., 2008, Pandey et al., 2017). Several key questions remain, specifically how an ACSS2-dependent histone acetylation mechanism contributes to the withdrawal aspects and ethanol tolerance that are observed in both animal models of alcohol dependence and in clinical populations. It would be interesting to see an expansion of this research to explore these topics.
