Project description:To investigate the differentiative fate of human PLCs following transplantation into fetal sheep and engraftment in various tissues/organs, we performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of human PLCs prior to in utero transplantation and of each engrafted fetal sheep tissue after filtering to remove any cross-reactivity with orthologous sheep transcripts

Project description:In humans and other species, Longlong-term hypoxia (LTH) during pregnancy can lead to intrauterine growth restriction with reduced body/brain weight, dysregulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), and other problems in humans and rodents. In contrast, sheep appear to undergo relatively successful acclimatization, not demonstrating any of the above-mentioned problems except at extremely high altitude. To identify the signal transduction genetic pathways and those critical molecules, which may be involved in acclimatization to high altitude LTH, we conducted microarray with advanced bioinformatic analysis on carotid arteries (CA) from the normoxic near-term ovine fetus at sea-level and those acclimatized to high altitude for 110+ days during gestation. In response to LTH acclimatization, in fetal CA we identified, mRNA from 38 genes upregulated (> 2 fFold; (P < 0.05) and 9 genes downregulated (> 2-f Fold; (P < 0.05). The major genes with upregulated mRNA were SLC1A3, Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein 3, IGF type 2 receptor, transforming growth factor (TGF) Beta-3, and genes involved in the AKT and BCL2 signal transduction networks. The majority of genes with upregulated mRNA have a common motif for Pbx/Knotted homeobox in the promoter region, and Sox family binding sites in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y un -translated region (UTR). Genes with downregulated mRNA included those involved in the P53 pathway and 5-lipoxygenase activating proteins. The promoter region of all genes with downregulated mRNA, had a common 49 bp region, with a binding site for DOT6 and TOD6, components of the RPD3 histone deacetylase complex RPD3C(L). We also identified miRNA complementary to a number of the altered genes. Thus, the present study identified molecules in the ovine fetus, which may help it to play a role in the acclimatizatione successfully response to high-altitude associated LTH. In these series of experiments we examined changes in gene expression in sheep carotids. Pregnant sheep and non-pregnant adult sheep were exposed to 110 days of hypoxia at 3801 meters of altitude. Carotid arteries from fetuses from non-pregnant adult from sea-level controls and those from high-altitude were compared by Agilent ovine custom array

Project description:We have identified effects of elevated maternal cortisol on fetal cardiac maturation and function in an ovine model. Whereas short term exposure, produced by maternal infusion (1 mg/kg/d) from 115-130d gestation increased fetal heart wall thickness and weight, myocyte proliferation and Purkinje fiber apoptosis, when cortisol exposure continued until term (~145 days of gestation), there was a profound increase in perinatal stillbirth. Further study indicated increases in P-R and R-R interval of the ECG and increased incidence of arrhythmias at birth, suggesting that these changes in the fetal heart contribute to the stillbirth. We have used systems biology to statistically model the transcriptomic changes in hearts at 130 days and near term. In the current study, we used this approach to test for effects on pathways related to metabolism and cardiac structure in the left ventricle and septum from newborn lambs. Cortisol altered genes in pathways involved in cardiac architecture in the left ventricle, including SMAD and BMP; cortisol also increased collagen deposition. Genes in pathways involved in metabolism and actin filament assembly were affected within the septum. Comparison of the effects of cortisol to the effects of normal maturation from day 140 to birth revealed that only 1% of the genes changed by cortisol in the LV and 18% in the septum were consistent with the normal maturational changes in gene expression. These results indicate that chronic in utero exposure to elevated cortisol concentrations alters the normal maturation of the fetal myocardium, adversely impacting perinatal cardiac function.

Project description:We conducted proteome analysis of basilar (cerebral) arteries from three control baboon fetuses and four fetuses that were exposed to alcohol in utero. Three alcohol-exposure episodes took place during second trimester-equivalent of human pregnancy, while fetal arteries were harvested during cesarean sections performed near-term. Supernatants from whole artery lysates were processed for TMT-labeling, fractionated, and subjected to LC/MS analysis.

Project description:We have previously shown in sheep that 10 days of modest chronic increase in maternal cortisol result in fetal heart enlargement and Purkinje cell apoptosis. In subsequent studies in which we extended the duration of cortisol infusion (1mg/kg/d) to term, we found a dramatic incidence of stillbirth in the pregnancies with chronically increased cortisol and associated maternal hyperglycemia. To investigate the effects on the heart, transcriptomic analyses were performed on the septa using ovine microarrays and Webgestalt and Cytoscape programs for pathway inference. Analyses of the effects of 10 days of maternal cortisol infusion (130d-cortisol vs 130d control), ~25 days (term at ~140d-cortisol vs 140d control), normal maturation (140d-control vs 130d control) were performed. In all analyses gene ontology (GO) terms related to immune function and cytokine actions were significantly over-represented. After 10 days of cortisol, growth factor and muscle cell apoptosis pathways were significantly over-represented, consistent with our previous findings. We found significantly differentially regulated genes in the term fetuses (ie after ~25 days of cortisol) in pathways consistent with altered metabolism in the heart, particularly in mitochondria, associated with responses to hypoxia and to nutrient. Analysis of mitochondrial number by quantitative real-time PCR confirmed a significant decrease. These pathways were different from those modeled following the normal increase in cortisol in late gestation which contributes to normal maturation of the heart, and thus may be indicative of the fetal heart pathophysiologies seen in pregnancies complicated by diabetes, CushingM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease and chronic stress. 2 cohorts of singleton sheep fetuses at 129-131d gestation or 139-144d gestation (approximately term) were used. The first cohort received maternal cortisol infusion of 1mg/kg/day or vehicle for 10 days until approximately day 130 of gestation (n=6/group), the second cohort received the same dose of cortisol for approximately 25 days until near term (n=7, cortisol; n=7ewes, n=8 fetuses due to one set of twins, control)

Project description:The study objective was to determine differentially expressed mRNA transcripts in pancreatic islets from fetal sheep exposed to persistent elevations in stress hormone norepinephrine to isolate effects of chronic adrenergic signaling on fetal islets. Ultimately, these data can be compared to islets from fetuses with placental insufficiency-induced intrauterine growth restriction, where there is known increases in norepinephrine.
