Project description:Fetal spina bifida can associate with reduced fetal growth. However, little is known about placental development and function in pregnancies with fetal spina bifida, despite that the placenta is a critical regulator of fetal growth. We used data from a case-control study to determine how the placental transcriptome differs in fetuses with isolated spina bifida (cases), compared to fetuses without any congenital anomalies (controls).

Project description:Background The vitamin A derivative, retinoic acid (RA), is a potent teratogenic agent that induces a variety of congenital abnormalities including neural tube defects. The embryopathology of RA has been extensively investigated and retinol receptors play important roles during organogenesis, development and neural tube closure. Still, the mechanisms by which RA influences these processes are not completely understood. Methods We used a custom-made mouse genome 32K oligonucleotide microarray to determine the gene expression profiles of mouse embryo spinal cord samples that had been exposed to vehicle or RA. Then, we performed a GSEA (gene set enrichment analysis) on the gene expression data by searching MSigDB (v2.5) c2 gene sets (canonical pathways) and c5 gene sets (curated GO terms), with set size restraints on the range to avoid over-narrow or over-broad categories. Results Using microarray technology, the present study identifies 85 genes in the spinal cord that exhibit at least a 1.5-fold change between control samples and samples with spina bifida aperta. A gene set enrichment analysis showed that maternal exposure to RA induced spinal bifida that were associated with altered expression of genes involved in pro- or anti-apoptosis, cell proliferation, migration, cytoskeleton components, and cell or focal adhesion, indicating that defective functions of these cell components and biological processes preceded the abnormal development of neural tube. Conclusions Maternal exposure to RA induced spinal bifida that were associated with altered expression of genes involved in pro- or anti-apoptosis, cell proliferation, migration, cytoskeleton components, and cell or focal adhesion. As shown in previous reports, defective functions of these cell components and biological processes preceded the abnormal development of the neural tube. Our study will help the understanding of the etiology and pathology of spinal bifida. However, it should be noted that the changes in gene expression induced by RA exposure may not be an effect on events other than neural tube closure; further study is required to fully understand the molecular mechanisms and consequence of neural tube defects in embryos exposed to RA. Our study provides a global analysis of gene expression patterns in spina bifida and will help the understanding of the etiology and pathology of neural tube defects. We assessed the changes in gene expression that coincide with spina bifida in RA-treated mouse fetuses. After generating an independent list of regulated genes, we analyzed samples by gene set enrichment analysis to expand our results. A pool of spinal cord tissue from spina bifida fetuses whose mothers were exposed to RA was compared to a pool of spinal cord tissue from fetuses whose mothers were exposed to olive oil vehicle. Three replicates each.

Project description:LC-MSMS (Label free) was performed to find differential proteins in maternal rat serum exosome between 3 normal pregnant rats and 3 pregnant rats carrying fetuses with spina bifida aperta induced by all-trans retinoic acid (Sigma; 4% [wt/vol] in olive oil; 140 mg/kg body weight by gavage) at pregnant day E18 (vaginal smear found sperm after mating as E0).

Project description:Distinct miRNA expression patterns may reflect anomalies related to fetal malformations such as spinal bifida (SB) or congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), which could shed light on novel pathomechanism determination and subsequent diagnostic significance evaluation. The aim of this study was to determine the miRNA maternal expression profile in plasma and amniotic fluid samples of women carrying fetuses with SB and CDH.

Project description:Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a significant complication of premature infants. With improved preterm infant survival, there is increased incidence of severe IVH, and the potential for lifelong neurodevelopmental deficits. Neurological complications are high in babies that develop hydrocephalus as a result of IVH and require a permanent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Spina bifida is a congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closure of the neural tube. Hydrocephalus is also a common complication of spina bifida, presenting in 15 to 25% of cases. Often, when spina bifida is identified and surgically repaired, CSF shunting mechanisms are placed in a high percentage of cases. A better understanding of the events leading to the development of hydrocephalus will help clinicians make more informed decisions about the need for CSF shunting and other interventions. Extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) may be indicators of the multiple pathological events surrounding the development of hydrocephalus in subjects with intraventricular hemorrhage or spina bifida. exRNAs may also be indicators for the presence and magnitude of neurodevelopmental outcomes. Under that premise, we sequenced the total exRNA in CSF from children that had IVH or spina bifida, some of which developed hydrocephalus and/or had reported developmental delays.

Project description:To identify novel genetic causes of congenital kidney anomalies(KA), we performed a whole genome copy number variation (CNV) detection in 62 patients with KA using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human CGH Microarray Kit (1x1M). Agilent sex-matched human DNA was used as reference. Data were extracted using Agilent Feature Extraction software v10.7 and CNVs were called using the ADM-II algorithm with a threshold of 6.0 in Agilent CytoGenomics software v5.0. With a systematic analysis, we identified 10 known or novel genomic imbalances in 9 (14.5%) cases.

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the congenital anomalies observed in patients with Trisomy 18, we compared gene expression in uncultured amniotic fluid supernatant samples from second trimester fetuses with Trisomy 18 and from euploid controls. Analysis of differential expression using both individual-gene and gene-set or pathway methods indicated disrupted function in ion transport, MHCII/T-cell mediated immunity, DNA repair, G-protein mediated signaling, kinases, and glycosylation. Significant down-regulation of genes involved in adrenal development was also identified in the trisomic fetuses, possibly explaining both the abnormal maternal serum estriols and the pre- and postnatal growth restriction found in this condition. We compared expression in five female fetuses with confirmed metaphase karotypes 47, XX, +18 and six female controls (46, XX). The gestational ages of the samples ranged from 17 5/7 to 20 6/7 weeks.

Project description:Spina bifida is a birth defect in which the vertebral column is open, often with spinal cord involvement. The most clinically significant subtype is myelomeningocele (open spina bifida), which is a condition characterized by failure of the lumbosacral spinal neural tube to close during embryonic development. The exposed neural tissue degenerates in utero, resulting in neurological deficit that varies with the level of the lesion. Occurring in approximately 1 per 1,000 births worldwide, myelomeningocele is one of the most common congenital malformations, but its cause is largely unknown. The genetic component is estimated at 60-70%, but few causative genes have been identified to date, despite much information from mouse models. Non-genetic maternal risk factors include reduced folate intake, anticonvulsant therapy, diabetes mellitus and obesity. Primary prevention by periconceptional supplementation with folic acid has been demonstrated in clinical trials, leading to food fortification programmes in many countries. Prenatal diagnosis is achieved by ultrasonography, enabling women to seek termination of pregnancy. Individuals who survive to birth have their lesions closed surgically, with subsequent management of associated defects, including the Chiari II brain malformation, hydrocephalus, and urological and orthopaedic sequelae. Fetal surgical repair of myelomeningocele has been associated with improved early neurological outcome compared with postnatal operation. Myelomeningocele affects quality of life during childhood, adolescence and adulthood, posing a challenge for individuals, families and society as a whole.
