Project description:Placentation differs in the BN rat strain when compared to HSD and DSS rat strains. Intrauterine trophoblast invasion is shallow and the junctional zone is underdeveloped in the BN rat. These structural differences are striking but their quantification is not conducive to high throughput analyses. In the rat, the junctional zone can be readily dissected and is more homogenous than other components of the placentation site. HSD and BN rat gestation day 18.5 junctional zone gene expression profiles were determined using DNA microarray analysis to identity placenta-associate quantitate traits.

Project description:Establishment of the hemochorial placentation site requires the exodus of trophoblast cells from the placenta and their transformative actions on the uterine vasculature, which is a critical but poorly understood developmental process. CBP/p300-interacting transactivator with glutamic acid/aspartic acid-rich carboxyl terminal domain 2 (CITED2) is a member of the CITED protein family of co-regulators and has been shown to possess roles in embryogenesis, including placenta development. We examined the involvement of CITED2 in the rat, which exhibits deep hemochorial placentation, a feature it shares with the human. CITED2 is distinctively expressed in the junctional zone compartment of the rat placentation site and in intrauterine invasive trophoblast cells. Homozygous disruption of the rat Cited2 locus resulted in placental and fetal growth restriction and abnormalities in heart and lung development, which are also characteristic of the CITED deficient mouse model. However, other features of the mouse Cited2 null phenotype, including exencephaly, adrenal gland agenesis, and prenatal lethality were not associated with CITED2 deficiency in the rat. Trophoblast-specific lentiviral CITED2 knockdown in the rat yielded a growth arrested placental phenotype. Smaller Cited2 null placentas were associated with a growth restricted junctional zone and coincided with a delay in intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion. Invasive trophoblast cells arise from the junctional zone. Transcriptomes of the junctional zone, the invasive trophoblast cell lineage, and differentiating trophoblast stem cells were affected by CITED2 disruption, as were placental adaptations to hypoxia and exposure to viral mimetics. Evidence for the conservation of CITED2 expression in human placental tissue and conserved actions in invasive/extravillous trophoblast cell development were demonstrated. We conclude that CITED2 is a conserved regulator of deep hemochorial placentation.

Project description:AKT1 is a serine/threonine kinase implicated in fetal, placental, and postnatal growth. In this study, we investigated roles for AKT1 in placental development using a genome-edited/loss-of-function rat model. Both heterozygous and homozygous Akt1 mutant rats were viable and fertile. Disruption of AKT1 resulted in placental, fetal, and postnatal growth restriction. Akt1 null placentas showed deficits in both junctional zone and labyrinth zone size and their ability to adapt to a physiological stressor. Robust differences in the transcriptome of wild type versus Akt1 null junctional zones were identified. Among the differentially expressed junctional zone transcripts was forkhead box O4 (Foxo4), which encodes a transcription factor and known AKT substrate. FOXO4 expression was prominent in the junctional zone and invasive trophoblast cells of the rat placentation site and enhanced following rat TS cell differentiation. Foxo4 gene disruption using genome-editing resulted in placentomegaly, including an enlarged junctional zone. AKT1 and FOXO4 regulate the expression of many of the same transcripts expressed by trophoblast cells; however, in opposite directions. In summary, we have identified AKT1 and FOXO4 as part of a regulatory network controlling hemochorial placenta development.

Project description:Invasive trophoblast cells are critical to spiral artery remodeling in hemochorial placentation. Insufficient trophoblast invasion and vascular remodeling can lead to pregnancy disorders including preeclampsia, preterm birth, and intrauterine growth restriction. Previous studies in the mouse identified achaete-scute homolog 2 (ASCL2) as essential to extraembryonic development. We hypothesized that ASCL2 is a critical and conserved regulator of invasive trophoblast lineage development. In contrast to the mouse, the rat possesses deep intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion and spiral artery remodeling similar to human placentation. In this report, we investigated invasive/extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell differentiation using human trophoblast stem (TS) cells and a loss-of-function mutant Ascl2 rat model. ASCL2 transcripts are expressed in the EVT column and junctional zone, which represent tissue sources of invasive trophoblast progenitor cells within human and rat placentation sites, respectively. Differentiation of human TS cells into EVT cells resulted in significant upregulation of ASCL2 and several other transcripts indicative of EVT cell differentiation. Disruption of ASCL2 impaired EVT cell differentiation as indicated by cell morphology and transcript profiles. RNA sequencing analysis of ASCL2-deficient trophoblast cells identified both downregulation of EVT cell-associated transcripts and upregulation of syncytiotrophoblast-associated transcripts, indicative of dual activating and repressing functions. ASCL2 deficiency in the rat impacted placental morphogenesis resulting in junctional zone dysgenesis and failed intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion. ASCL2 acts as a critical and conserved regulator of invasive trophoblast cell lineage development and a species-specific modulator of the syncytiotrophoblast lineage.

Project description:Here, we investigated whether prenatal exposure to nicotine alters kidney glomerular mass and genome-wide gene expression profiles in two genetically distant strains of rats, namely spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Brown Norway (BN) rats. Nicotine or saline were administered to BN and SHR dams via osmotic pumps throughout gestation. Kidneys from 9-week-old male offspring were studied. Equal amounts of RNA from individual animals were pooled within each of the four experimental groups SHR (nicotine: n=13; saline: n=12) and BN (nicotine: n=12; saline: n=12) and hybridized with the Rat RAE-230a GeneChip (Affymetrix).
