MeDIP assay using human myometrium of women with preterm labor of different phenotypes vs. normal term labor

ABSTRACT: Preterm birth is multifactorial in origin with several distinct clinical phenotypes of differing etiologies, including idiopathic preterm birth. Preterm birth involves the interaction of genetic, societal and environmental factors such as nutrition, lifestyle and stress that may modulate the length of gestation via the epigenome. DNA methylation is a well-studied epigenetic modification whereby promoter methylation commonly represses gene expression and vice versa. Myometrial tissue was obtained at cesarean section at term with or without labor, preterm without labor, idiopathic preterm labor, and twin gestations with labor. Differences in the myometrial epigenomes were identified at gene promoters, CpG islands, CpG island shores and shelves, gene bodies across the genome between the groups of women with preterm labor of different phenotypes vs. normal term labor. Functional clustering analysis indicated the significantly enriched pathways of hypomethylated genes (permissive) were related to acute inflammatory and acute-phase responses. By contrast, genes that are hypermethylated (repressive) revealed enrichment for contractile fibers and cell. This study provides the first high-resolution DNA methylome of human myometrium with evidence for differences in the methylome that may relate to idiopathic preterm birth via regulation of gene expression. The findings extend previous observations that idiopathic preterm labor is associated with subclinical intrauterine infection and inflammatory pathways and point to targets for further molecular characterization of preterm delivery.

Transcriptomic phenotyping of human labor myometrium.

Project description:Myometrial biopsies were collected from 31 women undergoing primary cesarean sections and were carefully phenotyped with respect to gestational age (GA), circumstances of labor onset, and clinical status at the start and end of the intervention. Cases were aggregated into groups as follows: Group 1: term birth following spontaneous onset of term labor (TL, n=5); Group 2: term birth by elective cesarean section not in labor (TNL, n=5); Group 3: PTB following spontaneous preterm labor with intact membranes (n=6); Group 4: preterm birth following PPROM (n=8); and Group 5: provider-initiated preterm birth in the absence of active labor contractions, cervical dilation or membrane rupture (n=7). Additional phenotyping of cases spontaneously committed to PTBs (Groups 3 and 4) involved presence or absence of Triple I based on cultures of amniotic fluid obtained via clinically-indicated amniocentesis. RNAs were profiled using second generation RNA sequencing.

Human Initiator / Effector Gene Sets That Regulate Myometrial Contractility During Term and Preterm Labor

Project description:Distinct processes govern the transition from myometrial quiescence to activation during both term and preterm labor. We sought the specific gene sets responsible for initiating term and preterm labor, along with a core set of effector genes necessary for labor independent of gestational age and the underlying trigger. The Effector Gene Set consisted of 49 genes present in both preterm and term labor but absent from non-labor samples. 122 genes were specific to preterm labor (Preterm Initiator Set) and 229 to term labor (Term Initiator Set). The Term Initiator and the Effector Sets reflected predominantly inflammatory processes. Surprisingly, the Preterm Initiator Gene Set reflected molecular and biological events almost exclusive of inflammation. Preterm and term labor differ dramatically in their unique, initiator gene profiles, suggesting alternative pathways underlie these events. Inflammatory processes are ubiquitous to the Term Initiator and the Effector Gene Sets, supporting the idea term parturition is an inflammatory process. The absence of inflammatory processes in the Preterm Initiator Set suggests inflammation is secondary to processes triggering spontaneous preterm birth, and could explain the lack of therapeutic efficacy associated with anti inflammatory/antibiotic regimens.

Transcription profiling of human myometrium from samples obtained at term (n=6) or preterm (n=6) with and without labor

Experiment Overall Design: Myometrial gene expression was analyzed from samples obtained at term (n=6) or preterm (n=6) with and without labor using cDNA microarrays. Patients in preterm labor all had intra amniotic inflammation. Gene sets were generated using logical operations within a functional mapping tool (MetaCoreâ¢, GeneGo, St. Joseph, MI). Relevant gene sets were validated with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Integrated transcriptomics network analysis of miRNA and mRNA in human myometrium in term and preterm labor.

Project description:Myometrial biopsies were collected from 20 women undergoing primary cesarean sections in well-characterized clinical scenarios: 1) term labor of spontaneous onset (TL, n=5); 2) term non-labor (TNL, n=5); 3) spontaneous PTB in the setting of chorioamnionitis (PTB-HCA) and 4) indicated preterm birth (PTB) non-labor (PTB-NL, n=5). RNAs were profiled using 2nd-generation RNA sequencing.

Gene expression profile of the human myometrium in preterm spontaneous labor (PSL)

Project description:Preterm birth, defined as delivery before the 37th week of gestation, is the most common cause of neonatal mortality and the second leading cause of death in children under five years of age. Preterm birth is associated with immediate and long term morbidity as well as growth and developmental delay. Currently there is no treatment that can prevent or block preterm labor. In order to identify the molecular regulators of preterm spontaneous labor in the human myometrium, we studied the gene expression profiles of samples with Preterm Spontaneous Labour (PSL) and compared them with the gene expression profiles of samples with Preterm No Labor (PNL).

Transcriptomic analysis delineates preterm prelabor rupture of membranes from preterm labor in preterm fetal membranes

Project description:We compared fetal membrane tissue from preterm labor deliveries to fetal tissue from preterm labor with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) deliveries to further explore the concept that spontaneous preterm birth can result from the initializing of two separate but overlapping pathological events. Chorioamnion, separated into amnion and chorion, was collected from gestationally age-matched cases and controls within 15 minutes of birth, and analyzed using RNA sequencing. In our study, transcriptome analysis of preterm fetal membranes revealed distinct differentially expressed genes for PPROM, separate from preterm labor. This study is the first to report transcriptome data that reflects the individual pathophysiology of amnion and chorion tissue from PPROM deliveries.

miRNA-Seq of human placenta: spontaneous preterm birth in the presence of intra-amniotic infection/inflammation and controls

Project description:Using RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq and miRNA-Seq), we analyzed paired villous trophoblast and decidual basalis transcriptomes of 15 women pregnant with singleton gestations grouped as follows: (1) spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) in the setting of amniocentesis-proven intra-amniotic infection (IAI) and histological chorioamnionits (n=5; GA median [range]: 26 [25-31] weeks); (2) spontaneous idiopathic preterm birth (iPTB, n=5, GA: 32 [30-33] weeks); and (3) term normal pregnancy, that delivered a heathy infant by cesarean section in the absence of labor (n=5; GA: 39 [38-39] weeks). The primary goal of this study was to identify differentially expressed transcripts and illuminate molecular mechanisms distinguishing IAI-associated PTBs from spontaneous PTBs in the absence of IAI. We further compared iPTB specimens to term specimens to determine genes differentially regulated with advancing gestational age and following spontaneous PTB without IAI. Finally, we determined transcripts selectively expressed in either the villous trophoblast or decidua basalis in each clinical context. Raw data for this series are not available because consent forms do not allow for public access to raw data.
