Cell-free DNA Methylation and Transcriptomic Signature Prediction of Pregnancies with Adverse Outcomes [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Although analysis of maternal plasma cell-free content has been employed for screening of genetic abnormalities within a pregnancy, limited attention has been paid to its use for the detection of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) based on placental function. We investigated the cell-free RNA content of 102 maternal, 25 cord plasma samples and 7 non pregnant women as control. using cell-free RNA sequencing, APOs revealed seventy-one differentially expressed genes early in pregnancy. We noticed the upregulation of S100A8, MS4A3 and MMP8 that have been already associated with APOs but also the upregulation of BCL2L15 and the downregulation of ALPL that have never been associated with APOs. We constructed a classifier with a positive predictive ability (AUC) of 0.91 for APOs, 0.86 for preeclampsia alone and 0.64 for GDM. We conclude that placenta-specific cell-free nucleic acids during early gestation provide the possibility of predicting APOs prior to the emergence of characteristic clinical features.

Cell-free DNA Methylation and Transcriptomic Signature Prediction of Pregnancies with Adverse Outcomes [WGBS]

Project description:Although analysis of maternal plasma cell-free content has been employed for screening of genetic abnormalities within a pregnancy, limited attention has been paid to its use for the detection of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) based on placental function. Here we investigated cell-free DNA and RNA content of 102 maternal and 25 cord plasma samples. Employing a novel deconvolution methodology, we found that during the first trimester, placenta-specific DNA increased prior to the subsequent development of gestational diabetes with no change in patients with preeclampsia while decreasing with maternal obesity. Moreover, using cell-free RNA sequencing, APOs revealed seventy-one differentially expressed genes early in pregnancy. We noticed the upregulation of S100A8, MS4A3 and MMP8 that have been already associated with APOs but also the upregulation of BCL2L15 and the downregulation of ALPL that have never been associated with APOs. We constructed a classifier with a positive predictive ability (AUC) of 0.91 for APOs, 0.86 for preeclampsia alone and 0.64 for GDM. We conclude that placenta-specific cell-free nucleic acids during early gestation provide the possibility of predicting APOs prior to the emergence of characteristic clinical features.

Metabolic Changes of Maternal Uterine Fluid, Uterus, and Plasma during the Peri-implantation Period of Early Pregnancy in Mice

Project description:Embryo implantation is a complex process which involves biochemical and physiological interactions between an implantation-competent blastocyst and a receptive uterus. However, the exact biochemical changes of uterine fluid, uterus, and plasma during peri-implantation remain unclear. This study aims to characterize the biochemical and metabolic changes that occur during the peri-implantation period of early pregnancy, using mice as an animal model. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the metabolite profiles of the uterus, uterine fluid, and maternal plasma at pre-implantation and implantation. The multivariate analyses, ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test, were applied to detect significant changes in metabolites and metabolic pathways. The metabolic networks were reconstructed in silico based on the identified metabolites and KEGG metabolic framework. Between pre-implantation day 1 and day 4, dramatic metabolic changes were observed in the uterine fluid that could be important for blastocyst development and protection against the harsh uterine environment. Palmitoleic acid, fumaric acid, and glutaric acid changed levels at day 4 in the uterus, suggesting that they may be associated with endometrial receptivity. Both the uterus and maternal plasma showed profound changes in cellular metabolism at the early implantation period, including upregulation of branched-chain amino acids and intermediates of one-carbon metabolism, an upregulation of glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and downregulation of aerobic respiration; all of which could be involved in the regulation of the maternal-fetal interface, alternative nutrient utilization, and energy preservation for implantation as well as later placentation and fetal development to ensure successful embryo implantation.

Maternal plasma cell-free RNA sequencing for preeclamptic and normotensive mothers

Project description:Liquid biopsies that measure circulating cell-free RNA (cfRNA) offer an unprecedented opportunity to noninvasively study the development of pregnancy-related complications and to bridge gaps in clinical care. Here, we sequenced cfRNA from 404 blood plasma samples (199 pregnant mothers) to identify and validate cfRNA transcriptomic changes that are associated with preeclampsia (PE), a multi-organ syndrome which is the second largest cause of maternal death globally. For each individual, samples were collected at one or more timepoints across gestation. For some, samples were also collected at least once post-partum.

Pregnancy-Induced Metabolic Phenotype Variations in Maternal Plasma

Project description:Metabolic variations occur during normal pregnancy to provide the growing fetus with a supply of nutrients required for its development and to ensure the health of the woman during gestation. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics was employed to study the metabolic phenotype variations in the maternal plasma that are induced by pregnancy in each of its three trimesters. Nontargeted metabolomics analysis showed that pregnancy significantly altered the profile of metabolites in maternal plasma. The levels of six metabolites were found to change significantly throughout pregnancy, with related metabolic pathway variations observed in biopterin metabolism, phospholipid metabolism, amino acid derivatives, and fatty acid oxidation. In particular, there was a pronounced elevation of dihydrobiopterin (BH2), a compound produced in the synthesis of dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, in the second trimester, whereas it was markedly decreased in the third trimester. The turnover of BH2 and tryptophan catabolites indicated that the fluctuations of neurotransmitters throughout pregnancy might reveal the metabolic adaption in the maternal body for the growth of the fetus. Furthermore, 11 lipid classes and 41 carnitine species were also determined and this showed variations in the presence of long-chain acylcarnitines and lysophospholipids in later pregnancy, suggesting changes of acylcarnitines and lysophospholipids to meet the energy demands in pregnant women.

Circulating exosomal miRNA profile during term and preterm birth pregnancies – a longitudinal study

Project description:The objective of this study was to characterise the changes in the exosomal miRNA concentrations circulating in the maternal plasma between mothers delivering term and preterm neonates, across gestation using a longitudinal study design. A retrospective stratified study design was used to characterize the miRNA content in exosomes present in maternal plasma of term (n=20 per time point) and preterm birth (PTB) (n=10 per time point) across gestation (i.e. first, second and third trimester).

Multi-omic brain and behavioral correlates of cell-free fetal DNA methylation in macaque maternal obesity models

Project description:Maternal obesity during pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) risk. We utilized integrative multi-omics to examine maternal obesity effects on offspring neurodevelopment in rhesus macaques by comparison to lean controls and two interventions. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) from longitudinal maternal blood-derived cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) significantly overlapped with DMRs from infant brain. The DMRs were enriched for neurodevelopmental functions, methylation-sensitive developmental transcription factor motifs, and human NDD DMRs identified from brain and placenta. Brain and cffDNA methylation levels from a large region overlapping mir-663 correlated with maternal obesity, metabolic and immune markers, and infant behavior. A DUX4 hippocampal co-methylation network correlated with maternal obesity, infant behavior, infant hippocampal lipidomic and metabolomic profiles, and maternal blood measurements of DUX4 cffDNA methylation, cytokines, and metabolites. We conclude that in this model, maternal obesity was associated with changes in the infant brain and behavior, and these differences were detectable in pregnancy through integrative analyses of cffDNA methylation with immune and metabolic factors.

Maternal Pregnancy Diet Effect on Fetal Brain Transcriptome

Project description:Maternal over- and undernutrition in pregnancy plays a critical role in fetal brain development and function. The effects of different maternal diet compositions on intrauterine programming of the fetal brain in the absence of maternal obesity or maternal undernutrition is a lesser-explored area. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of two different maternal diets on fetal brain gene expression signatures, fetal/neonatal growth, and neonatal behavior in a mouse model. Female C57Bl/6J mice were fed one of two commercially-available chow diets (pelleted vs. powdered) with differing micronutrient and carbohydrate compositions throughout pregnancy and lactation. The powdered chow diet was richer in carbohydrates and lower in micronutrients than the pelleted chow diet, among other differences. On embryonic day 15.5, embryos were weighed and measured. Fetal brains were snap frozen. RNA was extracted from fetal forebrains for five fetuses per diet group and hybridized to whole genome expression microarrays. Functional analyses identified significant upregulation of canonical pathways and upstream regulators involved in cell cycle regulation, synaptic plasticity, and sensory nervous system development in the fetal brain, and significant downregulation of pathways related to cell and embryo death. Pathways related to DNA damage response, humoral and cell-mediated immune response, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, small molecule biosynthesis, and amino acid metabolism were also dysregulated. Maternal dietary content is an important variable for researchers evaluating fetal brain development and offspring behavior to consider. Selection of a chow diet matched for micronutrients is crucial to avoid unexpected or undesired effects on offspring brain development and behavior.
