The maternal vitamin D level regulates the metabolic rearrangement of offspring-CD4+ T cells in response to intestinal inflammation

ABSTRACT: In this study, we aim to demonstrate the immunomodulatory mechanisms of maternal VitD on the offspring. We found that high maternal VitD levels rescue the abnormal immune phenotype caused by maternal immune activation (MIA), and inhibit the transformation of CD4+ T cells into a pro-inflammatory phenotype through a maternal VitD concentration-dependent regulation of metabolism and epigenetic reprogramming. Furthermore, we identified critical windows for maternal VitD regulation of offspring immunity, as well as the long-term impacts of MIA.

Maternal Imprinting of Autoreactivity in a Murine Model of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Project description:Mammals confer passive immunity upon their offspring via transplacental IgG and postnatal transfer of milk IgA. Maternofetal microchimerism and the cytokine environment in utero may also influence the developing offspring. Normally protective maternal immune factors can adversely affect the offspring in the context of maternal autoimmune disease. Here, unexpectedly, we observed maternal imprinting of autoreactivity, presenting as spontaneous germinal centers (GCs) and endogenous autoantibody production, in a murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Using embryo transfers to experimentally uncouple genetic from environmental maternal factors, we did not observe maternofetal microchimerism, but embryo transfer offspring of autoimmune dams received maternally derived IgG2A and anti-dsDNA antibodies. Moreover, they displayed increased formation of spontaneous GCs and elevated endogenous IgG2C autoantibody production. The neuroimmunological phenotype in offspring appeared unaffected. Taken together, our findings suggest maternal immune factors actively contribute to shape the susceptibility of offspring to autoimmune diseases independent of genetic factors.

Maternal obesity programs cardiac remodeling in offspring via epigenetic, metabolic, and immune dysregulation

Project description:Maternal obesity during pregnancy significantly increases the offspring’s risk of later-life cardiovascular disease. This study investigated cardiometabolic perturbations utilizing a mouse model of maternal high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity that recapitulates metabolic abnormalities observed in humans. We have previously shown that offspring of HFD-fed mothers (Off-HFD) exhibit a progression of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic inflexibility when compared with offspring of regular diet-fed mothers (Off-RD). The present investigation of cardiac function further identified significant functional, metabolic, and immune perturbations in adult Off-HFD mice. Specifically, Off-HFD mice presented progressing cardiac hypertrophy with reduced ejection fraction and fractional shortening, increased accumulation of fibrotic tissue, mitochondrial dysfunction, and altered immune complexity including increases in cardiac resident macrophages and decreases in CD4+ and Cd8+ T-cells. While these alterations may not be immediately catastrophic, they likely predispose offspring to heightened sensitivity to nutritional, psychological, or environmental stressors. To explore the timing and mechanisms by which maternal environment impacts offspring cardiac function, we examined DNA methylation in the hearts of newly-weaned Off-RD and Off-HFD mice. This analysis revealed numerous differentially methylated CpGs and regions within genes associated with cardiac development, hypertrophy, mitochondrial function, and immune response. Thus, our study reveals that cardiovascular dysregulations in offspring of obese mothers originate early in development and persist into adult life. These findings uncover potential windows of opportunity for preventive therapy and early therapeutic interventions.

Maternal Schistosomiasis CD45+

Project description:Maternal helminth infections are a global public health concern and correlate with altered infant immune responses to some childhood immunizations, but a mechanistic understanding of how maternal helminth infection alters the cellular immune responses of offspring is lacking. Here we establish a model of maternal Schistosoma mansoni infection in dual IL-4 reporter mice. We find that offspring born to mothers infected with S. mansoni have impaired production of IL-4 during homoeostasis, and following immunization with a Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccine. Single-cell RNASeq analysis of immunized offspring identified egg antigen-dependent reductions in B-cell cell cycle and proliferation-related genes.

Maternal Immune Activation Disrupts Proteostasis in the Fetal Brain

Project description:Maternal infection and inflammation during pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, but little is understood about the molecular mechanisms underlying this epidemiologic phenomenon. We leveraged single-cell RNA sequencing to profile transcriptional changes in the rodent fetal brain in response to maternal immune activation (MIA) and identified perturbations in cellular pathways associated with mRNA translation, ribosome biogenesis, and stress signaling. We found that MIA specifically activated the integrated stress response (ISR) in male, but not female, MIA offspring, thereby reducing global mRNA translation and altering nascent proteome synthesis. Moreover, genetic blockade of ISR activation rescued the social behavior phenotype in MIA male offspring. Our data suggest that therapeutic targeting of the ISR may be beneficial in reducing maternal inflammation-associated neurodevelopmental disorders.

Prenatal maternal vitamin D deficiency sex-dependently programs adipose tissue metabolism and energy homeostasis in offspring

Project description:In utero environment is crucial to ensure normal development of the fetus and to program metabolic health throughout the life. Beside macronutrients, the role of micronutrients, including vitamin D, begins to be explore. The aim of this study was to decipher the impact of maternal vitamin D deficiency (VDD), in normal and high-fat (HF) diet context, on adipose tissue metabolism and energy homeostasis in offspring, considering sex-specific responses. Body weight, energy expenditure, and spontaneous activity was differential impacted in juvenile male and female offspring born from VDD mice. In adulthood, a HF diet combined with maternal VDD disrupted glucose homeostasis and adiposity in male offspring but not in females. Such phenotypes were associated to different transcriptomic profiles in adipose tissue, which could be related to differential modulation of plasma 17b-estradiol concentrations. Thus, maternal VDD sex-dependently modulated metabolic fate of the offspring, especially when associated with HF diet in adulthood.

Maternal Brown Fat Thermogenesis Programs Glucose Tolerance in the Male Offspring

Project description:We tested if minor changes in maternal non-shivering thermogenesis during pregnancy can severely alter the phenotype of the offspring already in the next generation. Therefore, male offspring of dams lacking the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1-KO) in the thermogenic brown adipose tissue were analysed. Genome-wide expression profiling identified several alterations in the hepatic transcriptomic landscape, demonstrating that even minor differences in the demand for maternal thermogenesis profoundly and permanently alter hepatic gene activity in the adult offspring. Liver gene expression data of offspring from WT and UCP1-KO dams.

Developmental programming by maternal obesity alters offspring lifespan and immune function in a diet- and sex-specific manner

Project description:Maternal obesity is a growing health concern that predisposes offspring to metabolic dysfunction, immune system alterations, and neurodegenerative disorders. To investigate the intergenerational effects of maternal obesity, we used Drosophila melanogaster models exposed to high-sugar (HSD) and high-fat diets (HFD). We found that maternal diet-induced obesity significantly altered offspring lifespan, immune function, and neuronal health in a sex- and diet-specific manner. Male offspring were particularly susceptible, exhibiting reduced lifespan, impaired climbing ability, and increased axonal degeneration, especially following maternal HFD exposure. Transcriptomic analyses revealed age-dependent and diet-specific changes, with males showing pronounced alterations at 50 days of age. Developmental programming of hemocytes (macrophage-like cells) played a crucial role in these outcomes, as knockdown of key immune pathways such as Relish and Upd3 in hemocytes further influenced lifespan in a diet-specific manner. These findings highlight the complex interplay between maternal diet and immune function, underscoring the importance of immune cells in mediating the long-term health consequences of maternal obesity. Our study provides new insights into conserved mechanisms linking maternal metabolic health to offspring outcomes and emphasizes the continued need for animal models to understand intergenerational health impacts.
