Air Pollution, Placenta Function, and Birth Outcomes in Los Angeles in the Placental Assessment in Response to ENvironmenTal pollution study (PARENTs) cohort

ABSTRACT: This project aims to evaluate the internal environmental exposome of mother/fetus pairs within the PARENTs cohort, assessing a wide range of biomarkers/internal exposure measures for environmental toxins including air pollutants. Focusing on advanced imaging data on placental development and robust, clinically-confirmed birth outcomes, this a hypothesis-generating, untargeted pilot metabolomics study aims to identify potential predictors of placental insufficiencies and adverse birth outcomes. Measurements of exposures which include residential, occupational, and behavioral exposures, along with personalized air pollution measures, will help us in identifying related metabolomics patterns.

Placental gene expression-based cell type deconvolution: Cell proportions drive preeclampsia gene expression differences

Project description:The placenta mediates adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia, characterized by gestational hypertension and proteinuria. Placental cell type heterogeneity in preeclampsia is not well-understood and limits mechanistic interpretation of bulk gene expression measures. We generated single-cell RNA-sequencing samples for integration with existing data to create the largest deconvolution reference of 19 fetal and 8 maternal cell types from placental villous tissue at term. We deconvoluted eight published microarray case-control studies of preeclampsia. Our findings indicate substantial placental cellular heterogeneity in preeclampsia that predict previously observed bulk gene expression differences. Our deconvolution reference lays the groundwork for cellular heterogeneity-aware investigation into placental dysfunction and adverse birth outcomes.

Expression of viral and human microRNAs in blood in The Beijing Truck Driver Air Pollution Study (BTDAS)

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional suppressors of gene expression and potential mediators of environmental effects. In addition to human miRNAs, viral miRNAs expressed from latent viral sequences are detectable in human cells. We will use this dataset to investigate associations between air pollution exposures and clinical outcomes (such as lung function, blood pressure, etc.)

Gene Expression Network Analyses in Response to Air Pollution Exposures in the Trucking Industry

Project description:To investigate the cellular responses induced by air pollution exposures, we performed genome-wide gene expression microarray analysis using whole blood RNA sampled at three time-points across the work weeks of 63 non-smoking employees in the trucking industry. Our objective was to identify the genes and gene networks differentially activated in response to micro-environmental measures of occupational exposure to three pollutants: PM2.5 (particulate matter ≤ 2.5 microns in diameter) and elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC).

MARBLES (Markers of Autism Risk in Babies: Learning Early Sign) Enriched Cohort Study:Internal Metabolomic Biomarker Exposome and Development Disorders (IMBEDD)

Project description:This project aims to identify internal biomarkers of drug, food and microbial exposures associated to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and neurodevelopmental outcomes in an enriched-risk cohort. Using targeted and untargeted internal exposome approaches to identify exposures in maternal blood and child cord blood, internal metabolomics biomarkers will be associated with related exposures and also associated with ASD.

Prenatal Exposure to Metals Alters the Placental Inflammatory Proteome in a Sex-Dependent Manner in Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborns

Project description:Prenatal exposure to toxic metals is associated with altered placental function and adverse health outcomes. The underlying mechanisms linking in utero toxic metal exposures with later-in-life health remain unclear, though placental inflammation is posited as a potential driver. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether in utero metals presence is associated with sex-specific changes in placental protein expression. We hypothesized that sex-specific patterns of metal-associated placental protein expression would be observed, and metals presence would be positively associated with the altered expression of inflammation-associated pathways Using samples banked from the Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborn Study (ELGAN), umbilical cord tissue samples were analyzed via ICP-MS/MS for trace elements, and placental samples underwent a global untargeted proteomics analysis via LC-MS/MS. This work highlights the linkage between prenatal metals exposure and an altered placental proteome, revealing that metals in cord tissue were associated with largely distinct differences in placental protein expression, in a sexually-dimorphic manner.

Evaluation of differential gene expression in placental tissues exposed to the trichloroethylene metabolite S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC)

Project description:Trichloroethylene (TCE) is an industrial solvent and widespread environmental contaminant. Human TCE exposure is prevalent, though epidemiological studies testing TCE exposure and adverse birth outcomes are inconclusive. The TCE metabolite S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) exhibits toxicity at human-relevant concentrations in a placental cell line. To date, DCVC cytotoxicity mechanistic studies have been limited to single molecular signaling pathways and biological responses. In the current study, genome-wide gene expression and gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) were used to identify novel genes and pathways altered by human exposure-relevant DCVC concentrations in human placental villous explant tissues. The results of this study were compared to a parallel study using the placental cell line HTR-8/SVneo.

Epigenetic profiling of children with respiratory allergy

Project description:The prevalence of respiratory allergy in children is increasing. Epigenetic changes (e.g. DNA methylation) are plausible underlying molecular mechanisms. Longitudinal birth cohorts are instrumental to study the relation between early-life environmental factors and the development of complex diseases. Our AXA Research Fund and Cefic-LRI supported project explores the hypothesis that chemical exposures during pregnancy can influence the immune system and development of allergy in children. Questionnaire data, as well as cord blood, plus blood and saliva samples at age 11 years, were collected in substudies of two longitudinal birth cohorts in Belgium (FLEHS1 & FLEHS2) and analyzed with Illumina Methylation 450K BeadChips as well as gene targeted iPLEX MassArrays analysis. The project aims to answer the following questions: 1) can we identify specific changes in epigenetic modifications on DNA from allergic compared to not-allergic children; 2) are these allergy-related epigenetic changes a result of chemical exposure during pregnancy; and 3) did the early life exposures leave an epigenetic “mark” that is maintained through childhood. If chemicals exposures and resulting predictive markers of allergic diseases can be detected early, prevention strategies, particularly in children or before pregnancy, could be developed.

Effect of Prematurity on Genome Wide Methylation in the Placenta

Project description:Preterm birth is a significant clinical problem and an enormous burden on society, affecting one in eight pregnant women and their newborns. Despite decades of research, its pathogenesis remains unclear. Many studies have shown that preterm birth is associated with health risks across the later life course. The “fetal origins” hypothesis postulates that adverse intrauterine exposures are associated with later disease susceptibility. Our recent studies have focused on the placental epigenome at term. We extended these studies to genome-wide placental DNA methylation across a wide range of gestational ages. We applied methylation dependent immunoprecipitation/DNA sequencing (MeDIP-seq) to 9 placentas with gestational age from 25 weeks to term to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Enrichment analysis revealed 427 DMRs with nominally significant differences in methylation between preterm and term placentas (p<0.01) and 21 statistically significant DMRs after multiple comparison correction (FDR p<0.05), of which 62% were hypo-methylated in preterm placentas vs term placentas. The majority of DMRs were in distal intergenic regions and introns. Significantly enriched pathways identified by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) included Citrulline-Nitric Oxide Cycle and Fcy Receptor Mediated Phagocytosis in macrophages. The DMR gene set overlapped placental gene expression data, genes and pathways associated evolutionarily with preterm birth. These studies form the basis for future studies on the epigenetics of preterm birth, "fetal programming” and the impact of environment exposures on this important clinical challenge.
