Maternal Exercise Prior to and During Gestation Induces Sex-Specific Alterations in the Mouse Placenta

ABSTRACT: Examined the role of maternal voluntary wheel running commencing 10 weeks prior to gestation, and throughout pregnancy, on placental transcriptome in late gestation While exercise (EX) is beneficial during pregnancy for both mother and child, little is known about the mechanisms by which maternal (MAT EX) mediates changes in utero. We hypothesized that effects of MAT EX prior to and during gestation will be evident in transcriptomic signatures in the placenta and will be sexually dimorphic. Six-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were divided into 2 groups; with (exercise, EX; N = 7) or without (sedentary, SED; N = 8) access to voluntary running wheels. EX was provided via 24-hour access to wheels for 10 weeks prior to conception until late pregnancy (18.5 days post coitum). Sex-stratified placenta and fetal livers were collected. Mi-croarray analysis of SED and EX placenta revealed that MAT EX affected gene transcript expression of 283 and 661 transcripts in male and female placenta (±1.4-fold, p < 0.05). Gene-set enrichment and Ingenuity Pathway analyses of male placenta showed that MAT EX led to inhibition of sig-naling pathways, biological functions, and down regulation of transcripts related to lipid and steroid, while MAT EX in female placentas led to activation of pathways, biological functions, and gene expression related to muscle growth, brain, vascular development, and growth factors. Overall, our results suggest that effects of MAT EX on the placenta and presumably on the offspring are influenced by maternal habitus and are sexually dimorphic.

Regular physical activity followed by detraining increases the sensitivity of global gene expression to acute exercise stress

Project description:To determine the influence of a previous physcial activity period (e.g., exercise) on global gene expression, we compared differential expression in sedentary (SED) and detrained (DETR) rats relative to trained (TR) rats with regular access to physcial activity. TR and DETR rats had voluntary access to caged running wheels for 8 and 4 weeks, respectively. DETR rats were moved to sedentary conditions (normal cage activity) for another 4 weeks. SED rats experienced 8 weeks of normal caged activity; n=8 per group. At the end of each group's respective 8 weeks, all rats underwent 1 hr of moderate of acute exercise stress (e.g., forced wheel running at a speed of 20 m/min). Soleus muscles were harvested 24h post-running.

Effects of Voluntary Exercise on Hippocampal Gene Expression in male C57Bl/6J mice

Project description:This experiment was designed to identify changes in gene expression in the brain (specifically the hipocampus) in relation to variable levels of voluntary exercise. Male C57Bl/6J mice were weaned onto a low fat diet (LF; Research Diets D12329, 11% kcal fat) and given continuous access to exercise wheels (30.3 x 20.6 x 26 cm; Mini Mitter®, Nalgene® Activity Wheel for Rodents) at ten weeks of age, for three days (n=96). Six mice had their wheels locked to act as sedentary controls (sed). Animals were considered to be high runners (HR) if they ran >= 5 km/night and low runners (LR) if they ran <= 2 km/night. Middle runners (MR) were chosen randomly from the population of animals falling between the high and low groups. This series is comprised of array results from three parallel experiments comparing HR versus sed, MR versus sed, and HR versus LR. Six hybridizations were performed for each of the three comparisons (3 forward-labeled, 3-reverse labeled) to account for dye-incorporation differences. One slide from the HR vs LR experiment was broken during processing, so only five are included from that group.

Gestational Age-Dependent Changes in Gene Expression of Metabolic Enzymes and Transporters in Pregnant Mice

Project description:Knowing the gene expression profiles of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters throughout gestation is important for understanding the mechanisms of pregnancy-induced changes in drug pharmacokinetics. In this study, we compared gene expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in the maternal liver, kidney, small intestine, and placenta of pregnant mice throughout gestation by microarray analysis. Specifically, we investigated cytochrome P450 (Cyp), UDP-glucuronosyltranserase (Ugt), and sulfotransferase (Sult), as well as ATP-binding cassette (Abc) and solute carrier (Slc) transporters. We found that relatively few Ugt and Sult genes were impacted by pregnancy in maternal tissues and placenta. Cyp1a2, most Cyp2 isoforms, Cyp3a11, and Cyp3a13 in the liver were down-regulated, with the greatest changes occurring on gestation days (gd) 15 and 19 compared to non-pregnant controls (gd 0). However, Cyp2d40, Cyp3a16, Cyp3a41a, Cyp3a41b, and Cyp3a44 in the liver were induced throughout pregnancy. Cyp expression in mid-gestation placenta (gd 10 and 15) was generally greater than that in term placenta (gd 19). There were also notable changes in Abc and Slc transporters. Abcc3 in the liver was down-regulated by 60%, and Abcb1a, Abcc4, and Slco4c1 in the kidney were down-regulated by 30-60% on gd 15 and 19 versus gd 0. Abcc5 in the placenta was induced 3-fold on gd 10 versus gd 15 and 19, whereas Slc22a3 expression in the placenta on gd 10 was 90% lower than that on gd 15 and 19. Overall, this study demonstrates important gestational age-dependent expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporter genes, which may have mechanistic relevance to human pregnancy. Ninety pregnant mice at gestational days 0, 7.5, 10, 15, and 19 (n = 5-6 per gestational age) were used for the maternal liver, kidney, small intestine and placenta. The placentas were collected on gestational days 10, 15, and 19.

Maternal iron deficiency modulates placental transcriptome and proteome in mid-gestation of mouse pregnancy

Project description:Background: Maternal iron deficiency (ID) is associated with poor pregnancy and fetal outcomes. The effect is thought to be mediated by the placenta but there is no comprehensive assessment of placental response to maternal ID. Additionally, whether the influence of maternal ID on the placenta differs by fetal sex is unknown. Objectives: Our primary aim was to identify gene and protein signatures of ID mouse placentas at mid-gestation. A secondary objective was to profile the expression of iron genes in mouse placentas across gestation. Methods: We used a real-time PCR based array to determine the mRNA expression of all known iron genes in mouse placentas at embryonic day (E) 12.5, E14.5, E16.5, and E19.5 (n=3 placentas/time point). To determine the effect of maternal ID, we performed RNA sequencing and proteomics in male and female placentas from ID and iron adequate mice at E12.5 (n=8 dams/diet). Results: In female placentas, six genes including transferrin receptor (Tfrc) and solute carrier family 11 member 2 were significantly changed by maternal ID. An additional 154 genes were altered in male ID placentas. Proteomic analysis quantified 7662 proteins in the placenta. Proteins translated from iron responsive element (IRE) containing mRNAs were altered in abundance; ferritin and ferroportin 1 decreased while TFRC increased in ID placenta. Less than 4% of the significantly altered genes in ID placentas occurred both at the transcriptional and translational levels. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that the impact of maternal ID on placental gene expression in mice is limited in scope and magnitude at mid-gestation. We provide strong evidence for IRE-based transcriptional and translational coordination of iron gene expression in the mouse placenta. Finally, we discover sexually dimorphic effects of maternal ID on placental gene expression, with more genes and pathways altered in male compared with female mouse placentas.

Expression profiling of the effect of high-fat diet, low-fat diet, CR and exercise on mice liver

Project description:Dietary interventions are effective ways to extend or shorten lifespan. By examining midlife hepatic gene expressions in mice under different dietary conditions, which resulted in different lifespans and aging-related phenotypes, we were able to identify genes and pathways that modulate the aging process. We found that pathways transcriptionally correlated with diet-modulated lifespan and physiological changes were enriched for lifespan-modifying genes. Male C57BL/6J mice at 4 weeks of age were purchased from Shanghai Animal Co, Ltd. Mice were maintained under a 12-hour dark/light cycle (lights on at 6:30 am) at a temperature of 22 ± 3 °C in accredited animal facilities. Prior to the start of experiment, mice were maintained on a low-fat diet (Research Diets Inc., New Brunswick, NJ) for one week. At the age of 5 weeks, animals were randomly assigned to one of the 6 intervention groups (n = 30 for each group): feeding of a low-fat diet (10% fat, D12450B, Research Diets) ad libitum (LF) or with 30% calorie restriction (LF+CR) or with voluntary running exercise (LF+Ex), feeding of a high-fat diet (60% fat, D12492, Research Diets) ad libitum (HF) or with 30% calorie restriction (HF+CR) or with voluntary running exercise (HF+Ex). All mice were housed individually during the study. The daily consumption of food in LF and HF groups was recorded over a week and averaged to determine the amount of food for the following week for the LF+CR and HF+CR groups, respectively. After 1 week acclimation in cage with the locked running wheels, mice in the LF+Ex and HF+Ex groups were allowed free access to a running wheel, and the running distance and time were recorded automatically by the equipment. The hepatic transcriptional level for 3 mice from each intervention group at 62 weeks of age was analyzed using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays.

Activation of proneuronal transcription factor Ascl1 in maternal liver ensures a healthy pregnancy

Project description:Background & Aims: Maternal liver exhibits robust adaptations to pregnancy to accommodate the metabolic needs of developing and growing placenta and fetus by largely unknown mechanisms. We found that achaete-scute homolog-like 1 (Ascl1), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor essential for neuronal development, is highly activated in maternal hepatocytes during the second half of gestation in mice. Methods: To investigate whether and how Ascl1 plays a pregnancy-dependent role, we deleted the Ascl1 gene specifically in maternal hepatocytes from mid-gestation until term. Results: As a result, we identified multiple Ascl1-dependent phenotypes. Maternal livers lacking Ascl1 exhibited aberrant hepatocyte structure, increased hepatocyte proliferation, enlarged hepatocyte size, reduced albumin production, and elevated release of liver enzymes, indicating maternal liver dysfunction. Simultaneously, maternal pancreas and spleen and the placenta displayed marked overgrowth; and the maternal ceca microbiome showed alterations in relative abundance of several bacterial subpopulations. Moreover, litters born from maternal hepatic Ascl1-deficient dams experienced abnormal postnatal growth after weaning, implying an adverse pregnancy outcome. Mechanistically, we found that maternal hepatocytes deficient for Ascl1 exhibited robust activation of insulin-like growth factor 2 expression, which may contribute to the Ascl1-dependent phenotypes widespread in maternal and uteroplacental compartments. Conclusion: In summary, we demonstrate that maternal liver, via activating Ascl1 expression, modulates the adaptations of maternal organs and the growth of the placenta to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Our studies reveal Ascl1 as a novel and critical regulator of the physiology of pregnancy.
