Normal early pregnancy: a transient state of epigenetic change favoring hypomethylation

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to analyze genome-wide differential methylation patterns in maternal leukocyte DNA in early pregnant and non-pregnant states. This is an age- and body mass index-matched case-control study comparing the methylation patterns of 27,578 cytosine-guanine (CpG) sites in 14,495 genes in maternal leukocyte DNA in early pregnancy (n=14), in the same women postpartum (n=14), and in nulligravid women (n=14) on a BeadChip platform. Transient widespread hypomethylation was found in early pregnancy as compared with the non-pregnant states. Methylation of nine genes was significantly different in early pregnancy compared to both postpartum and nulligravid states (< 10% False Discovery Rate). Early pregnancy may be characterized by widespread hypomethylation compared to non-pregnant states; there is no apparent permanent methylation imprint after a normal-term gestation. Nine potential candidate genes were identified as differentially methylated in early pregnancy and may play a role in the maternal adaptation to pregnancy.

Proteomics of early pregnancy maternal serum from preeclampsia and normal pregnancies

Project description:We performed a LC-FAIMS-MS proteomics of early pregnancy (11–14 weeks of gestation) serum from the pregnant women who developed preeclampsia (n = 11) and those from the noraml pregnant women (n = 12).

Antenatal Blood DNA Methylation Profiles

Project description:DNA methylation profiles were generating using Illumina HM450 microarrays in a prospective sample blood from the prenatal period of pregnant mood disorder patients who would and would not develop depression post partum. We recruited 54 pregnant women with a history of either Major Depression or Bipolar Disorder (I, II or NOS) and prospectively followed them during pregnancy and after delivery in order to identify genetic and clinical characteristics that precede the development of a postpartum depressive episode. Blood samples profiled were collected at varying time points during pregnancy.

DNA methylation dynamics during pregnancy

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation analysis of 36 pregnant women during pregnancy. DNA methylation was investigated in maternal blood at two time points (1st and 3rd trimester) and in cord blood at birth using the Illumina EPIC array.

Investigation of placental gene expression in obese women exposed to Metformin during pregnancy

Project description:Maternal obesity in pregnancy is associated with increased birth-weight, obesity and premature mortality in adult offspring. The Effect of Metformin on Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Pregnant Obese Women (EMPOWaR) trial was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial carried out to determine whether exposure to Metformin would affect the offspring birth-weight centile. Obese women exposed to Metformin had increased insulin sensitivity at 36 weeks of pregnancy, but there were no differences in offspring birthweight. We obtained the placentas from these women to determine whether there were differences in expression of genes regulating fetal growth and metabolism. In a complementary study we investigated DNA methylation in the same samples.

Effects of choline intake and pregnancy on peripheral blood leukocyte gene expression

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.

Endometrial DNA methylation signatures of cattle fertility

Project description:This study was done to identify endometrial DNA methylation marks that can be associated with pregnancy outcomes in postpartum cows at the time of breeding. Results showed that postpartum cows that could become pregnant could be distinguishable based on their endometrial DNA methylation patterns at the time of breeding.

Epigenome analysis of CD4+ T cells from non-pregnant, 1st and 2nd trimester pregnant women

Project description:Epigenetics may play a central, but yet unexplored, role in the profound changes that the maternal immune system undergoes during pregnancy. We investigated changes in the methylome in isolated circulating CD4+ T cells in non-pregnant and pregnant women, during the 1st and 2nd trimester, using the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450K array, and explored how these changes were related to autoimmune diseases that are known to be affected during pregnancy. Pregnancy was associated with thousands of methylation differences, particularly during the 2nd trimester, where the majority of sites were hypermethylated, indicating transcriptional repression. Using a network-based modular approach disclosed several genes and pathways related to T cell signalling and activation. The pregnancy module was significantly enriched for disease-associated methylation changes related to multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The directionality of the changes was also in line with the previously observed effect of pregnancy on the disease activity, with a negative correlation for multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis that improves during pregnancy, and a positive correlation for systemic lupus erythematosus, a disease that instead worsens. In summary, this systems medicine approach supports the importance of the methylome in immune regulation of CD4+ T cells during pregnancy. Samples included twelve (n=12) non-pregnant women, elven (n=11) 1st trimester pregnant women and twelve (n=12)

An RNA signature for tuberculosis risk in pregnant women: a prospective cohort study from Pune, India

Project description:Background: Pregnant and postpartum women are at high risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB), but transcriptional TB studies have excluded pregnant women. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in pregnant women who did and did not progress to active TB. Methods: We followed a cohort of pregnant Indian women with TB infection for one year postpartum, collecting blood at study entry, 6 weeks postpartum and active TB diagnosis. A prospective signature of risk was identified by comparing whole blood RNA sequencing data from women who developed active TB postpartum (cases) with those who remained healthy (controls). Results: We identified 9 cases and matched them to 18 controls by HIV status and gestational age. A gene set of risk was identified: Expression of KCNIP4 > 2.2 log CPM and S1PR4 < 7.3 log CPM indicated a high probability of developing active TB postpartum. SF3B4 (>4.3 log CPM) and PGAM1 (>6.6 log CPM) correctly classified postpartum cases and controls. Both pairs displayed high accuracy (AUC >0.9) and were unique from 36 published TB signatures.Conclusions: We identified two genes that prospectively differentiated pregnant women who developed active TB postpartum from those who did not. If validated, this signature could be useful in targeted TB prevention programs.
