Project description:Women are twice as likely to have Alzheimer’s disease (AD) than men and multiparity has been suggested to be a risk factor for dementia. The present study evaluated whether the lack of certain nutrients during pregnancy influences cognition while pregnant and in old age in mouse model. Non-targeted NMR analysis revealed significantly lower levels of numerous plasma nutrients and metabolites including choline and its derivatives on gestation day 7 compared to day 1. Novel object recognition and Morris Water Maze tests revealed impaired cognition in pregnant mice compared to nonpregnant controls. Choline deprivation worsened the cognitive impairment during pregnancy and choline supplementation alleviated it. Furthermore, choline availability during pregnancy affected cognition and general health in old age, with mice given a choline-deficient diet during pregnancy performed more poorly. RNA-Seq analysis indicates lasting effect of choline intake during pregnancy on hippocampal gene signatures in old age. Choline deprivation was associated with more upregulation of proinflammatory genes, whereas choline supplementation showed upregulation of neuroprotective genes such as Prl, Gh, and hemoglobin (Hba and Hbb subunits). Together the study shows that choline supplement benefits women’s cognitive health during pregnancy and at the old age.

Project description:To explore the influence of choline intake and pregnancy status on gene expression, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify genes that were differentially expressed between two choline intake groups and between pregnant and non-pregnant women. Healthy third trimester (gestational week 26-29) pregnant women and non-pregnant women were randomized to a 12-week choline controlled feeding study. The participants consumed either 480 (n=6 pregnant and n=5 non-pregnant) or 930 (n=6 pregnant and n=5 non-pregnant) mg choline/d. Fasting peripheral blood leukocyte samples were collected at week 0 and week 12 to extract RNA and perform the arrays. Healthy third trimester (gestational week 26-29) pregnant women and non-pregnant women were randomized to a 12-week choline controlled feeding study. The participants consumed either 480 (n=6 pregnant and n=5 non-pregnant) or 930 (n=6 pregnant and n=5 non-pregnant) mg choline/d for 12 weeks. Fasting (10-h) peripheral blood leukocyte gene expression were measured at week 0 and week 12.

Project description:To explore the influence of maternal choline intake on placental gene expression, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify genes that were differentially expressed in placental tissues obtained from women consuming two different doses (480 vs. 930 mg/d) of choline throughout the third trimester of pregnancy. Healthy third trimester (gestational week 26-29) pregnant women were randomized to a 12-week choline controlled feeding study. The participants consumed either 480 (n=6) or 930 (n=6) mg choline/d. Full thickness placental samples were collected at delivery to extract RNA and perform the arrays. Healthy third trimester (gestational week 26-29) pregnant women were randomized to a 12-week choline controlled feeding study. The participants consumed either 480 (n=6) or 930 (n=6) mg choline/d for 12 weeks. Placental samples were obtained at delivery

Project description:The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of choline intake during pregnancy and/or lactation on histological alternation and gene expression profile in the liver of NAFLD dam progeny. We hypothesized that offspring of mothers suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is more prone to develop fatty liver, because of suboptimal intrauterine environment. The performed analyses included histological examination of liver tissue obtained from 24-day-old male rats, which were offspring of dams with fatty liver: provided with proper choline amount during pregnancy and lactation (NN), fed a choline-deficient diet during these both periods (DD), deprived with choline only during pregnancy (DN) or only during lactation (ND). The global gene expression profile was analyzed by using microarray approach (Affymetrix® Rat Gene 2.1 ST Array Strip).

Project description:The objective of this paper was to determine whether shifts in the methylome in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are correlated with transcriptomic changes during early development in response to maternal dietary choline intake. Three experimental diets were formulated to have different levels of choline: (a) 2065 ppm choline (Low Choline, 0% supplementation), (b) 5657 ppm choline (Medium Choline, 0.6% supplementation), and (c) 9248 ppm choline (High Choline, 1.2% choline supplementation). Six rainbow trout families were fed experimental diets beginning 18 months post-hatch until spawning; their offspring were fed a commercial diet. Reduced representational bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) was utilized to measure genome-wide methylation differences in offspring immediately after hatching. When comparing to the Medium Choline offspring, differential DNA methylation occurred more in the Low Choline offspring than High Choline, especially in genic features like promoters. The differentially methylated CpGs (q ≤ 0.01) were identified evenly between CpG islands and shores in the genome, mostly found in the introns of genes. Genes such as fabp2 and leap2B associated with protein binding, fatty acid binding, DNA binding, and response to bacteria were differentially methylated and detected as differentially regulated genes by previous RNA-seq analysis. Although these findings indicate that levels of dietary choline available in broodstock diets alters offspring DNA methylation; most differentially expressed genes were not associated with differential DNA methylation, suggesting additional mechanisms playing a role in regulating gene expression in response to maternal choline intake.

Project description:Abstract: Choline is an essential nutrient and methyl donor required for epigenetic regulation. Here, we assess the impact of gut microbial choline metabolism on bacterial fitness and host biology by engineering a microbial community to lack a single choline-utilizing enzyme. Our results indicate that choline-utilizing bacteria compete with the host for this nutrient, significantly impacting plasma and hepatic levels of methyl-donor metabolites recapitulating biochemical signatures of choline deficiency. Mice harboring high levels of choline-consuming bacteria show increased susceptibility to metabolic disease. Furthermore, bacterially-induced reduction of methyl-donor availability alters global DNA methylation patterns in both adult mice and their offspring in utero and engenders anxious behavior. Altogether, our results reveal an underappreciated aspect of bacterial choline metabolism (i.e., methyl-donor depletion) that is linked to alterations in metabolism, epigenetics, and behavior. More broadly, this work suggests that interpersonal differences in microbial metabolism should be considered when determining optimal levels of nutrient intake.
