The timing of antenatal glucocorticoids determines the receptor sensitivity in preterm infants

ABSTRACT: Approximately 15 million babies are born too early each year, corresponding to a global preterm birth rate of about 11%. The antenatal glucocorticoid (aGC) therapy is indicated to more than 90% of their mothers when there is a risk of preterm delivery between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation. Synthetic GCs (sGC) accelerate fetal lung maturation and reduce the risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), the leading cause of mortality in preterm infants. However, this treatment has been associated with an increased vulnerability to develop neurobehavioral and immune disorders later in life, effects attributed to permanent changes in the stress axis activity and in the homeostasis of endogenous GCs. In the present study, we assessed the effect of the antenatal administration of aGCs in preterm babies with a special focus on the influence of the time of exposure. We found that preterm infants exposed to aGCs in the late evening (i.e.: out-of-phase relative to the maternal daily cortisol rhythms) exhibited reduced GR sensitivity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). By comparing the transcriptome of PBMCs we found significant changes in genes involved in antibody production and B cell signaling, leucocyte migration and proliferation, antigen presentation and cellular stress responses. Our data suggests that the aGCs exposure in the morning, in-phase and aligned with the maternal GC rhythms, would be advisable in the clinics to minimize these secondary effects and improve the capacity of preterm infants to fight against pathogens during the first weeks of life.

Fetal lung maturation induced by chorioamnionitis and its interaction with antenatal corticosteroids in rhesus macaque fetuses

Project description:Purpose: Our goal was to evaluate the pathways through which chorioamnionitis induces fetal lung maturation and how it interacts with a low-dose treatment with antenatal corticosteroids to further enhance fetal lung maturation. Methods: We treated pregnant rhesus macaque at 132 days (80% gestation) with intre-amniotic bacterla lipopolissacharide to model chorioamnionitis or a low-dose antenatal corticosteroids treatment with betamethasone-acetate (Beta-Ac 0.125mg/kg) or both treatments. Fetuses were delivered by c-section after 5 days and RNA-sequencing of whole lung tissue was performed. Another group of fetuses exposed to LPS was delivered 16h after treatment. Preterm controls were delivered at 132 days and term controls were delivered at 155 days and received no intervention. Results: Treatment with Beta-Ac in the setting of chorioamnionitis improves lung compliance and increases surfactant production relative to either treatment alone. RNA sequencing shows that these changes are mediated by suppression of proliferation and induction of mesenchymal cellular death. The combined exposure results in a mature-like transcriptomic profile with inhibition of extracellular matrix development by suppression of collagen genes and regulators of lung development. ACS and inflammation also suppressed signature genes associated with proliferative mesenchymal progenitors similar to the term lung. Conclusion: Treatment with ACS in the setting of inflammation may result in early respiratory advantage to preterm infants, but this advantage may come at a cost of abnormal extracellular matrix development which may be associated with increased risk of chronic lung disease.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of PBMCs from five healthy (HC) preterm infants and ten preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)

Project description:We procured PBMCs whole blood from five HC preterm infants and five preterm infants with BPD. PBMCs were extracted using a density gradient centrifugation method. Initially, 10ml of peripheral blood was mixed with an equal volume of physiological saline, then carefully layered onto Ficoll solution (T10124, from Shangbao Biotech Co., Ltd., Shanghai). After centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 20 minutes, the cells stratified due to differences in density, with PBMCs positioned between the red blood cells and plasma. Subsequently, the intermediate layer containing PBMCs was gently collected, washed several times with physiological saline to remove residual medium and red blood cells, and finally, PBMCs were isolated and collected through centrifugation.

miRNA expression in tracheal aspirates

Project description:Extreme preterm infants are a growing population in neonatal intensive care units who carry a high mortality and morbidity. Multiple factors play a role in preterm birth, resulting in major impact on organogenesis leading to complications including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal of this study was to identify biomarker signatures associated with prematurity and BPD. We analyzed miRNA and mRNA profiles in tracheal aspirates (TAs) from 51 infants receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. 25 infants were extremely preterm and diagnosed with BPD, and 26 were term babies receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for elective procedures. We found specific mRNA-miRNA signatures in TAs that may serve as biomarkers for BPD pathogenesis, a consequence of extreme prematurity.

Tracheal aspirate transcriptomic and miRNA signatures of extreme premature birth with bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Project description:We analyzed mRNA profiles in tracheal aspirates from 53 newborns receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. Twenty-six infants were extremely preterm diagnosed with BPD and twenty-seven were term babies receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for elective procedure. Specific mRNA signatures in TAs may serve as potential biomarkers for extreme prematurity and BPD pathogenesis.

Integrative analysis of DNA methylation and gene expression data among preterm and/or small for gestational age infants during perinatal period [methylation]

Project description:Preterm or small for gestational age (SGA) infants are to be at high risk of noncommunicable diseases in adolescence, because they are exposed to hypoxia and malnutrition in and ex utero during perinatal period. Epigenetics could be one of the most important mechanisms of DOHaD.In the field of premature babies, previous studies investigated the methylation alterations related to gestational age and birthweight by using cord blood samples. In the field of preterm or SGA babies, there were few EWAS studies that examine whether methylation changes relate to RNA expression using cord blood samples, and the interpretation of postnatal blood methylation were different by studies.The objective is to investigate the epigenetic alterations associated with preterm birth and SGA by using methylation and expression microarray, and to explore the epigenetic changes which may persist after birth.

Oxygen induced complication of prematurity: from experimental data to prevention strategy

Project description:A prospective study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University Children's hospital between September 1, 2008 and November 30, 2010. The entry criteria were (1) preterm birth below 32 weeks gestational age, (2) birthweight<1500g (VLBW). During the follow-up period, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was diagnosed in 68 (61%) infants, including 40 (36%) children with mild disease, 13 (12%) with moderate and 15 (13%) with severe BPD. Forty-three babies served as a control group (no BPD). One hundred twenty newborns were included at the start of the study. Three blood samples (0.3 ml) were drawn from all the study participants for microarray assessment of gene expression profiles around the 5th, 14th and 28th days of life. Note that microarrays were not taken for all patients at all time points (A,B,C).
