Project description:Genomic expression profiles of blood and placenta reveal significant immune-related pathways and categories in Chinese women with Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complex metabolic disease which occurs in pregnancy with high prevalence, and its pathogenesis remains elusive. Thus far, there has been no comprehensive gene expression profiling in Chinese women with GDM. In this study, we attempt to define the genes and/or pathways that are involved in GDM with Chinese ethnicity, by the Illumina microarray technique. We found 5,197 and 243 genes with significantly altered expression due to GDM in blood and placenta tissues, respectively. Previously known genes (such as TNF, IL1B, LEP, IFNG, and HLA-G) with altered gene expression in GDM were also validated here. In addition, we identified undescribed genes VAV3, PTPN6, CD48 and IL15, in which expression was related to GDM by microarray and Q-RT-PCR assays. To identify GDM-associated pathways, we used analyses with integrated functional annotation (i.e. KEGG) and extracted two significant pathways, which were Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity (hsa04650; FDR = 7.10E-09) in blood and Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction (hsa04060; FDR = 1.07E-03) in placenta tissues. Immune system process (GO: 0002376) was identified by GO analysis with FDR P-value = 7.01E-60 in blood and FDR P-value = 3.57E-08 in placenta tissues, indicating the importance of immunological and inflammatory categories in GDM. Furthermore, despite differences in the quantity of gene expression, we observed a similar functional distribution between expression of blood and placenta tissues in GDM under the categories of immunity. These newly identified key genes and pathways may provide valuable information for the pathogenesis of GDM and advance disease diagnosis, prevention, medication design, and clinical treatment of the disease. One individual GDM blood tissue sample and one pooled GDM blood tissue sample were compared to one pooled healthy blood tissue sample. One pooled GDM placenta tissue sample was compared to one pooled healthy placenta tissue sample.

Project description:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects approximately 18% of pregnancies in the United States and increases the risk of adverse health outcomes in the offspring. These adult disease propensities may be set by anatomical and molecular alterations in the placenta associated with GDM. To assess the mechanistic aspects of fetal programming, we measured genome-wide methylation (Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchips) and expression (Affymetrix Transcriptome Microarrays) in placental tissue of 41 GDM cases and 41 matched pregnancies without maternal complications from the Harvard Epigenetic Birth Cohort. Specific transcriptional and epigenetic perturbations associated with GDM status included alterations in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, which were validated in an independent cohort, the Rhode Island Child Health Study. Gene ontology enrichment among gene regulation influenced by GDM revealed an over-representation of immune response pathways among differential expression, reflecting these coordinated changes in the MHC region. Our study represents the largest investigation of transcriptomic and methylomic differences associated with GDM, providing comprehensive insight into the molecular basis of GDM induced fetal (re)programming. Bisulphite converted DNA extracted from the placentas (maternal-side) of 41 clinically-confirmed cases of GDM and 41 pregnancies without maternal complications were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchips

RNA extracted from the placentas (maternal-side) of 30 clinically-confirmed cases of GDM and 25 pregnancies without maternal complications was hybridised to the GeneChip® Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 (Affymetrix). Four samples were run in triplicate.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify and investigate the roles of miRNAs in GDM. In the current study, placental miRNA expression profiles of normal controls and GDM patients were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis identified that 4 were upregulated and 6 were downregulated in 10 most differential miRNA in GDM placentas compared with NC placentas. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses demonstrated that metabolic process-associated terms and metabolic pathways that may be related to GDM were significantly enriched. Our study indicates that aberrant expression of miRNAs may play roles in autophagy in GDM placentas, providing new insights into GDM.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify and investigate the roles of circRNAs in GDM. In the current study, placental circRNA expression profiles of normal controls and GDM patients were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis identified a total of 4955 circRNAs, of which 37 circRNAs were significantly deregulated in GDM placentas compared with NC placentas. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses demonstrated that metabolic process-associated terms and metabolic pathways that may be related to GDM were significantly enriched. The biological characteristics of placenta-derived circRNAs, such as their stability and RNase R resistance, were also validated.Our study indicates that aberrant expression of circRNAs may play roles in autophagy in GDM placentas, providing new insights into GDM.

Project description:This study aimed to identify key circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as novel biomarkers for diagnosis of GDM at the early stages. First, lncRNA microarray analysis was conducted for plasma samples of GDM women before delivery and 48 h after delivery. The expression of differentially expressed lncRNAs in clinical samples at different trimesters was randomly validated by quantitative PCR. Moreover, the correlation between lncRNA expression and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) level in GDM women during the second trimester was analyzed, and the diagnostic value of key lncRNAs for GDM during different trimesters was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The plasma level of NONHSAT054669.2 and ENST00000525337 may be used as novel diagnostic biomarkers for early diagnosis of GDM.

Project description:Total RNA was isolated from WBCs. For the analysis of genome-wide expression differences in small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) and long-coding and non-coding RNAs (mRNAs and lncRNAs), NGT and GDM pregnant women were selected. Twenty-nine GDM-associated mature micro-RNAs (miRNAs) with increased expression and one hundred sixty-three mRNAs with reduced expression associated with GDM were found (P<0.05 and FDR<0.1).

Project description:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is considered as the early stage of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we compared the demographic and clinical data between six GDM and six NGT (healthy controls) and found the HOMA-IR was increased in GDM. Previously, many researches had proved that omental adipose tissues dysfunction could induce insulin resistance. Thus, in order to investigate the cause of the insulin resistance in GDM, label-free proteomics was used to discover differentially expressed proteins in omental adipose tissues between GDM and NGT. A total of 3529 proteins identified, including 66 significantly changed proteins. Adipocyte plasma membrane associated protein (APMAP also called C20orf3) was one of changed proteins and down regulated in GDM omental adipose tissues. Further, mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes were used to simulate omental adipocytes and we found that inhibited the expression of APMAP by RNAi would impaired the insulin signaling and activated the NFkB signaling in adipocytes. These results indicated that the decreased of APMAP in mental adipose tissues may be important in process of the insulin resistance in GDM.

Project description:The microRNA (miRNA) expression profile of plasma exosome in pregnant women complicated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has not been fully clarified. In this study, differentially expressed miRNAs in plasma exosomes were identified by high-throughput small RNA sequencing in 12 GDM and 12 normal glucose tolerance (NGT) pregnant women and validated in 102 GDM and 101 NGT pregnant women. A total of 22 exosomal miRNAs were found and five of them were verified by qRT-PCR. Exosomal miR-423-5p was upregulated, while miR-99a-5p, miR-192-5p, miR-148a-3p, and miR-122-5p were downregulated in pregnant women complicated with GDM.
