Environmental stress-induced epigenetic changes are inherited by germlines and profoundly affect the behavior and physiology of subsequent generations. However, the mechanisms by which acquired transgenerational epigenetic imprints are established in the parental germline remain poorly understood. In this study, we used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system and demonstrated that a key node of metabolism-Pod-2, an acetyl-CoA carboxylase, together with vitellogenins (Vits), cholesterol-binding/transport proteins, guide establishment of the acquired transgenerational epigenetic modifications H3K27me3 in the parental germline. The loss of function of a Vit; its transporter or receptor; or its binding partner, pod-2, resulted in the loss of acquired epigenetic memory in the germline. Our findings indicate that lipid metabolism is a critical mediator for establishing transgenerational epigenetic imprints in the germline.
