Understanding the molecular mechanisms of these disorders presents a significant challenge for neurobiology. We investigated the effects of social defeat stress (SDS) of varying durations (10 and 30 days) on behavioral patterns and the H3K4me3 (trimethylation at the 4th lysine residue of histone H3) landscape in the prefrontal cortex of C57BL\/6 mice. Furthermore, we compared these data with previously published H3K4me3 landscape data obtained after 15 days of SDS and transcriptomic data collected after 10, 15, and 30 days. We discovered that a 30-day period of stress results in more pronounced depressive-like behavior. SDS induces slight alterations in the H3K4me3 density across numerous nucleosomal peaks. The analysis of differential enrichment peaks of H3K4me3 in promoter regions following varying durations of SDS revealed that the aggregation of multiple H3K4me3 nucleosome peaks in the promoter region functions as a QR code, likely affecting the promoter\u2019s state regarding the accessibility of transcription factors. Furthermore, we identified a cluster of genes in the promoter regions exhibiting differential enrichment peaks of H3K4me3 following SDS of any duration. This cluster includes genes encoding transcription factors such as Mef2c and Nr4a3, as well as postsynaptic density proteins (Shank2, Shank1, and Gria2), which are associated with stress sensitivity and the onset of depression; their protein products are involved in synaptic transmission and signal transduction mechanisms. The comparison of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data following varying durations of SDS enabled a deeper insight in to the dynamics of SDS-induced changes. Together, these findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of SDS in the prefrontal cortex.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27010018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]],"date-time":"2025-12-19T11:03:46Z","timestamp":1766142226000},"page":"18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Epigenetic Signatures of Social Defeat Stress Varying Duration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5602-5149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalya","family":"Bondar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Lavrentiev Ave., 10, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Department of Natural Sciences, Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova St., 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2932-0804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasiliy","family":"Reshetnikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Lavrentiev Ave., 10, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Translational Medicine Research Center, Sirius University of Science and Technology, 1 Olympic Avenue, Sochi 354340, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1189-7031","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Polina","family":"Ritter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Lavrentiev Ave., 10, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Department of Natural Sciences, Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova St., 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3423-3497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikita","family":"Ershov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Lavrentiev Ave., 10, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Zhukova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Lavrentiev Ave., 10, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Semyon","family":"Kolmykov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Medicine Research Center, Sirius University of Science and Technology, 1 Olympic Avenue, Sochi 354340, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatyana","family":"Merkulova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Lavrentiev Ave., 10, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Department of Natural Sciences, Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova St., 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psyneuen.2016.11.036","article-title":"Cortisol Stress Reactivity across Psychiatric Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis","volume":"77","author":"Zorn","year":"2017","journal-title":"Psychoneuroendocrinology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1093\/abm\/kaaa039","article-title":"Heart Rate Variability, Sleep Quality, and Depression in the Context of Chronic Stress","volume":"55","author":"McGrath","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ann.
