Project description:“Dysbiosis" of the maternal gut microbiome, in response to environmental challenges such as infection, altered diet and stress during pregnancy, has been increasingly associated with abnormalities in offspring brain function and behavior. However, whether the maternal gut microbiome regulates neurodevelopment in the absence of environmental challenge remains unclear. In addition, whether the maternal microbiome exerts such influences during critical periods of embryonic brain development is poorly understood. Here we investigate how depletion, and selective reconstitution, of the maternal gut microbiome influences fetal neurodevelopment in mice. Embryos from antibiotic-treated and germ-free dams exhibit widespread transcriptomic alterations in the fetal brain relative to conventionally-colonized controls, with reduced expression of several genes involved in axonogenesis. In addition, embryos from microbiome-depleted mothers exhibit deficient thalamocortical axons and impaired thalamic axon outgrowth in response to cell-extrinsic guidance cues and growth factors. Consistent with the importance of fetal thalamocortical axonogenesis for shaping neural circuits for sensory processing, restricted depletion of the maternal microbiome from pre-conception through mid-gestation yields offspring that exhibit tactile hyposensitivity in select sensorimotor behavioral tasks. Gnotobiotic colonization of antibiotic-treated dams with a limited consortium of spore-forming bacteria indigenous to the gut microbiome prevents abnormalities in fetal brain gene expression, fetal thalamocortical axonogenesis and adult tactile sensory behavior associated with maternal microbiome depletion. Metabolomic profiling reveals that the maternal microbiota regulates levels of numerous small molecules in the maternal serum as well as the brains of fetal offspring. Select microbiota-dependent metabolites – trimethylamine N-oxide, 5-aminovalerate, imidazole propionate, and hippurate – sufficiently promote axon outgrowth from fetal thalamic explants. Moreover, maternal supplementation with the metabolites during early gestation abrogates deficiencies in fetal thalamocortical axons and prevents abnormalities in tactile sensory behavior in offspring from microbiome-depleted dams. Altogether, these findings reveal that the maternal gut microbiome promotes fetal thalamocortical axonogenesis and select tactile sensory behaviors in mice, likely by signaling of microbially modulated metabolites to neurons in the developing brain.

Project description:<p>Myostatin (gene symbol: Mstn) is an autocrine and paracrine inhibitor of muscle growth. Pregnant mice with genetically reduced levels of myostatin give birth to offspring with greater adult muscle mass and bone biomechanical strength. However, maternal myostatin is not detectable in fetal circulations. Fetal growth is dependent on the maternal environment, and the provisioning of nutrients and growth factors by the placenta. Thus, this study examined the effect of reduced maternal myostatin on maternal and fetal serum metabolomes, as well as the placental metabolome. Fetal and maternal serum metabolomes were highly distinct, which is consistent with the role of the placenta in creating a specific fetal nutrient environment. There was no effect from myostatin on maternal glucose tolerance or fasting insulin. In comparisons between pregnant control and Mstn+/− mice, there were more significantly different metabolite concentrations in fetal serum, at 50, than in the mother’s serum at 33, confirming the effect of maternal myostatin reduction on the fetal metabolic milieu. Polyamines, lysophospholipids, fatty acid oxidation, and vitamin C, in fetal serum, were all affected by maternal myostatin reduction.</p>

Project description:Maternal over- and undernutrition in pregnancy plays a critical role in fetal brain development and function. The effects of different maternal diet compositions on intrauterine programming of the fetal brain in the absence of maternal obesity or maternal undernutrition is a lesser-explored area. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of two different maternal diets on fetal brain gene expression signatures, fetal/neonatal growth, and neonatal behavior in a mouse model. Female C57Bl/6J mice were fed one of two commercially-available chow diets (pelleted vs. powdered) with differing micronutrient and carbohydrate compositions throughout pregnancy and lactation. The powdered chow diet was richer in carbohydrates and lower in micronutrients than the pelleted chow diet, among other differences. On embryonic day 15.5, embryos were weighed and measured. Fetal brains were snap frozen. RNA was extracted from fetal forebrains for five fetuses per diet group and hybridized to whole genome expression microarrays. Functional analyses identified significant upregulation of canonical pathways and upstream regulators involved in cell cycle regulation, synaptic plasticity, and sensory nervous system development in the fetal brain, and significant downregulation of pathways related to cell and embryo death. Pathways related to DNA damage response, humoral and cell-mediated immune response, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, small molecule biosynthesis, and amino acid metabolism were also dysregulated. Maternal dietary content is an important variable for researchers evaluating fetal brain development and offspring behavior to consider. Selection of a chow diet matched for micronutrients is crucial to avoid unexpected or undesired effects on offspring brain development and behavior.

Project description:Although circadian clocks oscillate in most cells, it has been difficult to detect canonical expression of clock genes in fetal rodent tissues, including the fetal liver. The oscillation status of fetal clocks and the maternal influence on these clocks have not yet been conclusively defined. Here we report that, when the mother mice are under restricted feeding, the expression rhythms of several clock genes can be detected in fetal mouse livers. Those rhythms, although of low amplitude, reversed their profiles under opposite feeding cycles, suggesting maternal entrainment of the weak fetal liver clocks. However, Bmal1 could show biphasic expression in the fetal livers. The expression of some metabolic genes (e.g. Insig1) also showed biphasic daily changes in fetal livers, possibly as a result of interactions between the unique in utero milieu and the fetal liver clocks. Regular rhythms of clock gene expression were detected in dissociated fetal hepatocytes in culture. Differential expression of metabolic genes were found between fetal and adult livers, suggesting that metabolic features affected clock amplitude. Genome-wide differences in DNA methylation were also found between adult and fetal livers. Some of those epigenetic changes were likely critical for the developmental changes in clock amplitudes.

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.
