Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Contributes to Negative Pregnancy Outcomes by Altering Fetal Vascular Dynamics and Placental Transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) has previously been shown to alter fetal blood flow in utero and is also associated with placental insufficiency and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), suggesting an underlying connection between perturbed circulation and pregnancy outcomes. Here we show that a single exposure to ethanol in pregnant mice on gestational day 10 (GD10) by gavage attenuates umbilical cord blood flow transiently during gestation, explaining the observed IUGR, specifically decreased fetal weight, and morphometric indices of cranial growth. Moreover, RNAseq of the fetal portion of the placenta demonstrated that this single exposure has lasting transcriptomic changes, including upregulation of Tet3, which is associated with spontaneous abortion. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identified erythrocyte differentiation and homeostasis as important pathways associated with improved umbilical cord blood flow as gestation progresses. WGCNA also identified sensory perception of chemical stimulus/odorant and receptor activity as important pathways associated with cranial growth. Our data suggest that PAE perturbs the expression of placental genes relevant for placental hematopoiesis and environmental sensing, resulting in transient impairment of umbilical cord blood flow and subsequently, IUGR.

Transcriptome Analysis of miRNAs in Umbilical cord blood exosomes of Intrauterine Growth Restriction Pigs

Project description:Dysfunctional umbilical cord blood (CB) is an important factor for the development of IUGR in utero. However, the genetic mechanism underlying the miRNAs in CB exosomes influence the development of IUGR is not well characterized. Herein, we present a comprehensive investigation of miRNA transcriptome of umbilical cord vein and artery between IUGR and normal littermate. We total identified 636 unique miRNAs. There were 116 significant differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs between umbilical vein of normal (NV) and IUGR (IV) and 226 DE miRNAs between umbilical artery of normal (NA) and IUGR (IA) (P < 0.001). Cluster analysis revealed that umbilical artery had the most striking divergence, implied it plays more prominent role in the development of IUGR. The miRNAs enriched in NA mainly participate in blood vessel development, regulation of transcription and growth. The miRNAs highly expressed in IA mainly enriched in apoptosis, cell death, embryonic development and immune system development Besides, miRNAs related to oxygen transfer (miR-210, miR-424), angiogenesis (miR-130a, miR-150, miR-34a) and immune system development (miR-181a, miR-155) were lower expressed in IUGR. Our findings demonstrate that CB derived miRNAs participate in fetal epigenetic regulation during pregnancy, which may supply a new explanation for abnormal embryologic development and some congenital diseases.

DNA Hypermethylation at Loci Associated with Diabetes, Obesity and Cardiac Abnormalities in CD3+ Lymphocytes of Intrauterine Growth Restricted Newbors

Project description:Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with increased susceptibility to obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Although the mechanisms underlying the fetal origin of metabolic disease are poorly understood, evidence suggests epigenomic alterations play a critical role. We sought to identify changes in DNA methylation patterns that define IUGR in CD3+ T-cells purified from umbilical cord blood obtained from appropriate for gestational age (Control) and IUGR male newborns using a genome-wide assay. We identified a global shift towards hypermethylation in IUGR compared to Control newborns targeted to regulatory regions of the genome.

Fetal transcripts in maternal blood

Project description:The discovery of fetal mRNA transcripts in maternal circulation holds great promise for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis. To identify potential fetal biomarkers, we studied whole blood and plasma transcripts common to term pregnant women and their newborns but reduced or absent in the postpartum mothers. In whole blood, 157 potentially-fetal transcripts were identified. RT-PCR confirmed the presence of specific transcripts, SNP analysis confirmed the presence of fetal transcripts in maternal circulation. Comparison of whole blood and plasma samples from the same women suggested that placental genes are more easily detected in plasma. We conclude that fetal and placental mRNA circulates in the blood of pregnant women. [I] We profiled whole antepartum (A), postpartum (P), and umbilical cord (U) blood samples from each of 9 mothers and their 10 newborns (1 set of twins, denoted as a and b after the sample names). [II] We also profiled plasma samples (A, P, and U) from three of those mothers to allow for a direct comparison between blood and plasma.

Proteomic analysis of exosomes isolated from human umbilical cord serum by mass spectrometry and preliminary study of their biological activities in cultured hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines

Project description:Exosomes are membranous extracellular vesicles 50–100 nm in size and are involved in cellular communication via the delivery of proteins, lipids, and RNAs. Emerging evidence shows that exosomes play a critical role in cancer. A recent study has revealed that maternal and umbilical cord serum-derived exosomes may enhance endothelial cell proliferation and migration. However, the role of exosomes isolated from the human umbilical cord in cancer development has not been investigated. To explore the potential differences in the composition and function of proteins from umbilical cord blood exosomes and maternal serum exosomes, we conducted a proteomic analysis of exosomes by mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis. We used the CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry to study the biological effects of umbilical serum exosomes on hepatoma cells. Our study shows that umbilical cord blood is enriched with proteins involved in ECM-receptor interactions, which may be closely related to cell metastasis and proliferation. Our findings indicate that exosomes derived from human umbilical serum can suppress the viability of hepatoma cells and may induce apoptosis of hepatoma cells. This evidence suggests that umbilical cord serum-derived exosomes may be potential leads for the development of biotherapy for liver cancer.

A restricted repertoire of cytosine methylation changes in neonates following intrauterine growth restriction

Project description:Perturbations of the intrauterine environment can affect fetal development during critical periods of plasticity, and can increase susceptibility to a number of age-related diseases (e.g. type 2 diabetes mellitus; T2DM), manifesting sometimes decades later. We hypothesized that this biological memory is mediated by permanent alterations of the epigenome in stem cell populations. Our studies focused specifically on DNA methylation in CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from cord blood, and utilized a two-stage design involving genome-wide discovery followed by quantitative, single-locus validation. We found that changes in cytosine methylation occur in response to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), but that they are of a substantially lesser degree and involve many fewer loci than the epigenomic dysregulation observed in cancer. This is consistent with a comparable study of individuals born following maternal starvation during the Dutch famine. We also identify specific loci that are targeted for dysregulation of DNA methylation, in particular the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4Î± (HNF4A) gene, a well-known diabetes candidate gene not previously associated with growth restriction in utero, and other loci encoding HNF4A-interacting proteins. Our results give some insights into the potential contribution of epigenomic dysregulation in mediating the long-term consequences of IUGR, and demonstrate the value of this approach to studies of the fetal origin of adult disease. Direct comparison of DNA methylation in 10 neonatal CD34+ samples isolated from umbilical cord blood belonging to two groups: IUGR (n=5) and their age-matched controls (n=5). Each microarray consists of a two-color comparison of a methylation-sensitive representation of the genome (HpaII) with an internal methylation-insensitive control/reference (MspI).

Comparative analysis of ovine fetal skeletal muscle gene expression: control and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)

Project description:Impaired muscle growth as a result of IUGR is a major contributor to lifelong reductions in muscle mass (sarcopenia) and metabolic disease risk. We use an ovine model of chronic placental insufficiency which restricts nutrient supply from mother to fetus and results in intrauterine growth restriction. In our model of placental insufficiency and IUGR, fetal hindlimb muscles weigh less than normally-grown control fetuses and have smaller myofiber diameters. Given the frequent correlation between functional changes and transcriptional changes, we investigated the effect of chronic placental insufficiency and IUGR on fetal skeletal muscle gene expression. We found that gene expression in the skeletal muscle is significantly altered by chronic placental insufficiency. In gene ontology analysis, we found that genes involved in cell cycle regulation were most significantly affected, with downregulation of several cyclins. These observations may in part account for decreased muscle weight relative to brain weight observed in the late gestation IUGR fetus.

Maternal-diabetes induced gene expression changes in the umbilical cord

Project description:Analysis of umbilical cord tissue in newborns of type 1 diabetic mothers at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that intrauterine diabetic milieu may effect of fetal umbilical cord gene expression, and via umbilical cord, the alterations may be produced in other fetal tissues as well. Results provide an information of the differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways, such as the dowregulated genes on the pathway on blood vessel development in umbilical cords from diabetic pregnancies. Umbilical cord tissue was collected after elective ceasarean section and was immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until total RNA extraction from the whole tissue sample. Six cords exposed to maternal diabetes (DM) and six control cords (C) from healthy pregnancies were analyzed.
