Metabolomics highlights reduced glutamate and acetylcarnitine in the amniotic fluid of cytomegalovirus-infected pregnant women

ABSTRACT:

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous infectious agent that causes significant morbidity in immunosuppressed hosts and is the most common cause of neonatal congenital deafness.An infection acquired during pregnancy can be vertically transmitted to the fetus and cause permanent sequelae in the newborn, even severe, with characteristic clinical manifestations such as intellectual disability and neurosensory deficits. To characterize the metabolic changes influenced by CMV, we set up a research study of amniotic fluid (AF) metabolites in pregnant women with primary CMV infection acquired in the first trimester of pregnancy, compared to a control group in the same gestational period. Weused a targeted metabolomics platform that allowed the quantification of 50 molecules including amino acids and acylcarnitines.

MCM proteins are up-regulated in placentas of women with reduced insulin sensitivity

Project description:In the first trimester of pregnancy the human placenta grows rapidly, making it sensitive to changes in the intrauterine environment. To test whether exposure to an environment in utero often associated with obesity modifies placental proteome and function, we performed untargeted proteomics (LC-MS/MS) in placentas from 19 women (gestational age 35–48 days, i.e. 5+0–6+6 weeks). Maternal clinical traits (body mass index, leptin, glucose, C-peptide and insulin sensitivity) and gestational age were recorded. DNA replication and cell cycle pathways were enriched in the proteome of placentas of women with low maternal insulin sensitivity. Driving these pathways were the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins MCM2, MCM3, MCM4, MCM5, MCM6 and MCM7 (MCM-complex). These proteins are part of the pre-replicative complex and participate in DNA damage repair. Indeed, MCM6 and γH2AX (DNA-damage marker) protein levels correlated in first trimester placental tissue (r = 0.514, P<0.01). MCM6 and γH2AX co-localized to nuclei of villous cytotrophoblast cells, the proliferative cell type of the placenta, suggesting increased DNA damage in this cell type. To mimic key features of the intrauterine obesogenic environment, a first trimester trophoblast cell line, i.e., ACH-3P, was exposed to high insulin (10 nM) or low oxygen tension (2.5% O2). There was a significant correlation between MCM6 and γH2AX protein levels, but these were independent of insulin or oxygen exposure. These findings show that chronic exposure in utero to reduced maternal insulin sensitivity during early pregnancy induces changes in the early first trimester placental proteome. Pathways related to DNA replication, cell cycle and DNA damage repair appear especially sensitive to such an in utero environment.

Transcriptomics analysis of trimester-specific full-term placentas from three Zika virus-infected women

Project description:Effects of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection on placental development during pregnancy are unclear. In this study, full-term placentas from three women, each infected with ZIKV during specific pregnancy trimesters, were harvested for anatomic, immunologic and transcriptomic analysis. Each woman exhibited a unique immune response with raised IL-1RA, IP-10, EGF and RANTES expression, and neutrophil numbers during the acute infection phase. Although ZIKV NS3 antigens co-localized to placental Hofbauer cells, the placentas showed no anatomical defects. Transcriptomic analysis of samples from the placentas revealed that infection during trimester 1 caused a disparate cellular response centered on differential eIF2 signalling, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative phosphorylation. Despite these, the babies were delivered without any congenital anomalies. Nevertheless, these findings should translate to improve clinical prenatal screening procedures for virus-infected pregnant patients.

Quantification of calcyclin and heat shock protein 90 in sera from women with and without preeclampsia by mass spectrometry

Project description:Maternal serum levels of calcyclin and heat shock protein 90 were compared throughout pregnancy from the first trimester till term among women with preeclampsia (PE) and age-matched normotensive pregnant controls (C). Serum samples from two different studies, a nested case-control study embedded in the Rotterdam periconception cohort and the Lepra Study both conducted at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. They were collected in the first, second and third trimester of pregnancy in 43 patients with preeclampsia, consisting of 20 early-onset and 23 late-onset preeclampsia, and 46 normotensive pregnant controls. A serum based 2D LC-MS assay on Parallel Reaction Monitoring mode using a high resolution tribrid mass spectrometer was used to quantify both calcyclin and heat shock protein 90.

Epigenome analysis of CD4+ T cells from non-pregnant, 1st and 2nd trimester pregnant women

Project description:Epigenetics may play a central, but yet unexplored, role in the profound changes that the maternal immune system undergoes during pregnancy. We investigated changes in the methylome in isolated circulating CD4+ T cells in non-pregnant and pregnant women, during the 1st and 2nd trimester, using the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450K array, and explored how these changes were related to autoimmune diseases that are known to be affected during pregnancy. Pregnancy was associated with thousands of methylation differences, particularly during the 2nd trimester, where the majority of sites were hypermethylated, indicating transcriptional repression. Using a network-based modular approach disclosed several genes and pathways related to T cell signalling and activation. The pregnancy module was significantly enriched for disease-associated methylation changes related to multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The directionality of the changes was also in line with the previously observed effect of pregnancy on the disease activity, with a negative correlation for multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis that improves during pregnancy, and a positive correlation for systemic lupus erythematosus, a disease that instead worsens. In summary, this systems medicine approach supports the importance of the methylome in immune regulation of CD4+ T cells during pregnancy. Samples included twelve (n=12) non-pregnant women, elven (n=11) 1st trimester pregnant women and twelve (n=12)

Maternal Nutritional Status Modifies Heat-Associated Growth Restriction in Women with Chronic Malnutrition

Project description:Rising ambient temperatures represent an imminent risk to pregnant women and infants. Both maternal malnutrition and heat stress during pregnancy contribute to poor fetal growth, the leading cause of diminished child development in low-resource settings. However, studies explicitly examining interactions between these two important environmental factors are lacking. We leveraged maternal and neonatal anthropometry data from a randomized controlled trial focused on improving preconception maternal nutrition (Women First Preconception Nutrition trial) conducted in Thatta Pakistan, where both nutritional deficits and heat stress are prevalent. Multiple linear regression of ambient temperature and neonatal anthropometry at birth (n = 459) showed a negative association between daily maximal temperatures in the first trimester and z-scores of birth length (LGAZ) and head circumference (HCGAZ). Placental mRNA-sequencing and protein analysis showed transcriptomic changes in protein translation, ribosomal proteins and mTORC1 signalling components in term placenta exposed to excessive heat in the first trimester. Targeted metabolomic analysis indicated ambient temperature associated alterations in maternal circulation with decreases in choline concentrations. Notably, negative impacts of heat on birth length were in part mitigated in women randomized to comprehensive maternal nutritional supplementation (MNS) before pregnancy suggesting potential interactions between heat stress and nutritional status of the mother. Collectively the findings bridge critical gaps in our current understanding of how maternal nutrition may provide resilience against adverse effects of heat stress in pregnancy.

Hypoxia induces trophoblast migration and invasion gene pathways, a subset of which are reduced in preeclampsia

Project description:Placentation requires the proper regulation of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) migration and invasion into the decidua and maternal vasculature, processes which are initiated in physiologic hypoxic conditions. Abnormal EVT migration and/or invasion have been suggested to lead to pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia. The objectives of this study are to determine how exposure to hypoxia impacts gene expression and cellular motility of first trimester trophoblasts, and to assess if expression of migration-associated genes is dysregulated in 2nd trimester chorionic villous samples (CVS) from preeclampsia pregnancies relative to CVS from healthy pregnancies. The 1st trimester trophoblast cell line, HTR8/SVneo, was used to investigate the relationship between hypoxia and Notch signaling in trophoblast migration and invasion. RNA sequencing and quantitative RT-PCR analyses show that exposure to hypoxia (2.5% O2) activates Notch signaling in HTR-8/SVneo. We demonstrate that exposure of HTR-8/SVneo to hypoxia induces expression of genes associated with cellular migration and invasion and increases HTR-8/SVneo cellular migration and invasion, whereas inhibition of gamma-secretase decreases Notch signaling and decreases HTR-8/SVneo migration and invasion. Analysis of RNA sequencing data from CVS of preeclampsia and uncomplicated pregnancies identified significant differentially expressed genes that are involved in cellular migration and invasion. Decreased expression of migration and invasion genes in CVS from preeclampsia pregnancies, may impair trophoblast migration and invasion in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, resulting in the development of preeclampsia.

Pregnancy changes expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors

Project description:Background: pregnancy is associated with reduced activity of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the biological mechanisms underlying this pregnancy-related decrease in disease activity are poorly understood. This data series contains the subset of data used to generate a healthy donors signature comparing female healthy specimens before pregnancy with respect to female healthy specimens at ninth month pregnancy. Subjects were followed in the outpatients clinic and blood was collected before pregnancy and at the following time points during pregnancy: first trimester (gestational age at sampling 12 weeks), second trimester (24 weeks), and third trimester (36 weeks). Before-pregnancy samples were obtained in a treatment-free period and after anticonceptional drug withdrawal. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from 11 women (7 healthy donors before pregnancy and 4 healthy donors at 9th month pregnancy) were analyzed by oligonucleotide microarray technology.

Molecular expression in endometrial biopsies of non-viable ectopic and intrauterine pregnancies.

Project description:Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women in the first trimester. A reliable diagnostic test for the detection of ectopic pregnancy in cases of non-viable pregnancy of unknown location (NV-PUL) is needed. The objective of the current study is to prospectively validate our previous findings of a 12-cilia gene classifier for the identification of ectopic pregnancy. Molecular interrogation is performed to define differences in molecular expression profiles in ectopic and abnormal intrauterine pregnancies. These samples come from a prospective cohort study comparing transcriptome profiles from women with ectopic pregnancy (ECT) or non-viable intrauterine pregnancy (NV-IUP). Samples were analyzed with the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array.
