Newborn pig uterus gene expression changes in response to lactocrine insufficiency from birth

ABSTRACT: Maternal effects on offspring phenotype do not end at birth. Bioactive factors are transmitted from mother to nursing offspring through colostrum, which is known as lactocrine programming. The lactocrine hypothesis posits that disruption of lactocrine signaling from birth will have both short- and long-term effects on the postnatal developmental program with lasting consequences. Previous research established that lactocrine insufficiency from birth in pigs, indicated by reduced serum immunoglobulin immunocrit (iCrit) ratios in nursing piglets on the day of birth (postnatal day 0, PND0), altered the postnatal uterine developmental program and reduced lifetime fecundity in adult, neonatally lactocrine insufficient females. To determine the effects of lactocrine insufficiency on uterine development in the rapid growth phase, we performed RNA sequencing in six high-low iCrit pairs in PND14 gilt littermates. High-quality RNA-seq reads were mapped to the porcine reference genome, and the expression levels were quantified in the uterus transcriptome. We identified 148 (1.1% of expressed genes) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the high and low iCrit groups at P < 0.05, including the the FOXA2 gene, which was known to be downregulated in low-iCrit uterus samples. Gene ontology analysis reveals that immune-related functions, including the complement pathways are up-regulated in the low iCrit group.

Defining Age- and Lactocrine-Sensitive Elements of the Neonatal Porcine Uterine microRNA-mRNA Interactome

Project description:Factors delivered to offspring in colostrum within two days of birth support neonatal porcine uterine development. The uterine mRNA transcriptome is affected by age and nursing during this period. Whether uterine microRNA (miRNA) expression is affected similarly is unknown. Objectives were to: 1) determine effects of age and nursing on porcine uterine miRNA expression between birth and postnatal day (PND) 2 using small RNA sequencing (smRNA-Seq) and; 2) define affected miRNA-mRNA interactions and associated biological processes using integrated target prediction analysis.

Age and Nursing Affect the Neonatal Porcine Uterine Transcriptome

Project description:Age- and lactocrine-sensitive elements of the neonatal porcine uterine developmental program are undefined. Here, effects of age and nursing for 48 h from birth (postnatal day = [PND] 0) on the uterine transcriptome at PND 2 were identified using RNA sequencing. Pig uterine tissues were obtained from neonatal gilts (n = 4/group) within 1 h of birth [postnatal day (PND) 0], or 48 h after nursing ad libitum (PND 2N), or feeding a commercial milk replacer (PND 2R).

Expression Data from Young Uteroplacental Insufficiency-induced Low Birth Weight Adult Guinea Pig Offspring

Project description:We aimed to gain mechanistic insights into the impact of uteroplacental insufficiency upon hepatic cholestrol metabolism pathways in young adult offspring.Uterine artery ablation-induced low birth weight (LBW) and normal birth weight (NBW) male and female guinea pig offspring were fed a control diet from weaning until postnatal day 150. Analysis of whole hepatic transcriptome results identified that between LBW and NBW offspring livers, 51 (29 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated) and 31 (8 up-regulated and 23 down-regulated) genes were differentially expressed in males and females respectively (fold change| >= 2 and p-value < 0.05). KEGG pathway analysis of these differentially expressed genes revealed that “Cholesterol metabolism” was an enriched pathway in LBW males but not females (p<0.05).

Neonatal lactocrine deficiency affects the adult porcine endometrial transcriptome at pregnancy day 13

Project description:Reproductive performance of female pigs that do not receive sufficient colostrum from birth is permanently impaired. Whether lactocrine deficiency, reflected by low serum immunoglobulin immunocrit (iCrit), affects patterns of endometrial gene expression during the periattachment period of early pregnancy is unknown. Here, objectives were to determine effects of low iCrit at birth on the adult endometrial transcriptome on pregnancy day (PxD) 13. On the first day of postnatal life, gilts were assigned to high or low iCrit groups. Adult high (n = 8) and low (n = 7) iCrit gilts were bred (PxD 0), humanely slaughtered on PxD 13 when tissues and fluids were collected. The endometrial transcriptome was defined for each group using mRNAseq and microRNAseq. Reads were mapped to the Sus scrofa 11.1 genome build. Mature microRNAs were annotated using miRBase 21. Differential expression was defined based on fold change (≥ ± 1.5). Lactocrine deficiency did not affect corpora lutea number, uterine horn length, uterine wet weight, conceptus recovery, or uterine luminal fluid estrogen content on PxD 13. However, mRNAseq revealed 1157 differentially expressed endometrial mRNAs in high versus low iCrit gilts. Differentially expressed genes had functions related to solute transport, endometrial receptivity, and immune response. Six differentially expressed endometrial microRNAs included five predicted to target 62 differentially expressed mRNAs, affecting similar biological processes. Thus, lactocrine deficiency on the first day of postnatal life can alter uterine developmental trajectory with lasting effects on endometrial responses to pregnancy as reflected at the level of the transcriptome on PxD 13.

Effects on transcriptional regulation and lipid droplet characteristics in the liver of female juvenile pigs after early postnatal feed restriction and refeeding are dependent on birth weight

Project description:Low (U) and normal (N) birth weight female porcine offspring were used to study molecular and physiological changes in the liver before and after postnatal feed restriction (R, 50% of controls) and after subsequent refeeding period in comparison to non-restricted control animals (K). Overall, the following questions were addressed at the transcriptional, epigenomic and metabolic level: 1) Are there differences in the hepatic transcriptional profile between U and normal birth weight 2) Are these effects reflected on the metabolic level? 3) Could the possible birth weight-dependent effects be modified through feed restriction intervention? 4) Are these effects persistent and, moreover, can improvements with regard to lipid homeostasis be observed? Microarrays were used to study the effects of birth weight and/or feed restriction on the transcriptional level.

Effects of cross-fostering and developmental exposure to mixtures of environmental contaminants on hepatic gene expression in prepubertal 21 days old and adult male Sprague-Dawley rats III.

Project description:The notion that adverse health effects produced by exposure to environmental contaminants (EC) may be modulated by the presence of non-chemical stressors is gaining attention. Previously, our lab demonstrated that cross-fostering (adoption of a litter at birth) acted as a non-chemical stressor that amplified the influence of developmental exposure to EC on the glucocorticoid stress-response in adult rats. Using liver from the same rats, the aim of the current study was to investigate whether cross-fostering might also modulate EC-induced alterations in hepatic gene expression profiles. During pregnancy and nursing, Sprague-Dawley dams were fed cookies laced with corn oil (control, C) or a chemical mixture (M) composed of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), organochlorine pesticides (OCP), and methylmercury (MeHg), at 1 mg/kg/day. This mixture simulated the contaminant profile reported in maternal human blood. At birth, some control and M treated litters were crossfostered to form two additional groups with different biological/nursing mothers (CC and MM). The hepatic transcriptome was analyzed by DNA microarray in male offspring at postnatal days 21 and 78–86. Mixture exposure altered the expression of detoxification and energy metabolism genes in both age groups, but with different sets of genes affected at day 21 and 78–86. Cross-fostering modulated the effects of M on gene expression pattern (MM vs M), as well as expression of energy metabolism genes between control groups (CC vs C). In conclusion, while describing short- and long-term effects of developmental exposure to EC on hepatic transcriptomes, these cross-fostering results further support the consideration of non-chemical stressors in EC risk assessments.
