Gestational diabetes in mice induces hematopoietic memory that impacts the long-term health of the offspring.


ABSTRACT: Gestational diabetes is a common medical complication of pregnancy that is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes and an increased risk of metabolic diseases and atherosclerosis in adult offspring. The mechanisms responsible for this delayed pathological transmission remain unknown. In mouse models, we found that the development of atherosclerosis in adult offspring born to diabetic pregnancy can be in part linked to hematopoietic alterations. Although they do not show any gross metabolic disruptions, the adult offspring maintain hematopoietic features associated with diabetes, indicating the acquisition of a lasting diabetic hematopoietic memory. We show that the induction of this hematopoietic memory during gestation relies on the activity of the pattern recognition receptor AGER and the NLRP3 inflammasome, which leads to increased placental inflammation. In adult offspring, we find that this memory is associated with DNMT1 upregulation and epigenetic changes in hematopoietic progenitors. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the hematopoietic system can acquire a lasting memory of gestational diabetes, and that this memory constitutes a new pathway connecting gestational health to adult pathologies.
