Project description:Gestational protein restriction is a model for low birth size. We hypothesized that taurine supplementation would protect against changes in newborn liver and muscle caused by a maternal low protein diet. Pregnant mouse dams were subjected to different diet schemes from day 1 of pregnancy until birth. Pups were killed following birth and liver and hindleg skeletal muscle taken out and frozen at -80C until analysis. Diet schemes: Normal Protein (20% casein; NP), Normal Protein + taurine (1% taurine supplementation in water ad libitum; NP+tau), Low Protein (8% casein; LP) and LP+tau The liver and muscle samples were normalized separately.

Project description:Taurine ameliorates changes occurring in newborn skeletal muscle as a result of gestational protein restriction in C57BL/6 mice, but taurine supplementation effects may be exaggerated in C57BL/6 mice due to their inherent excessive taurinuria. We examined if maternal taurine supplementation could ameliorate changes in gene expression levels, properties of mitochondria, myogenesis, and nutrient transport and sensing, in male newborn skeletal muscle caused by a maternal low protein (LP) diet in Wistar rats. LP diet resulted in an 11% non-significant decrease in birth weight, which was not rescued by taurine supplementation (LP-Tau). LP-Tau offspring had signifi-cantly lower birth weight compared to controls. Gene expression profiling revealed 895 significantly changed genes, mainly an LP-induced down-regulation of genes involved in protein translation. Taurine fully or partially rescued 32% of these changes, but with no distinct pattern as to which genes were rescued. Skeletal muscle taurine content in LP-Tau offspring was increased, but no changes in mRNA levels of the taurine synthesis pathway were observed. Taurine transporter mRNA levels, but not protein levels, were increased by LP diet. Nutrient sensing pathways were largely unaffected in LP or LP-Tau groups, although taurine supplementation caused an unexpected decrease in total Akt and AMPK protein levels. PAT4 amino acid transporter mRNA was increased by LP, and normalized by taurine supplementation. In conclusion, gestational protein restriction in rats decreased genes involved in protein translation in newborn skeletal muscle and led to changes in nutrient transporters. Taurine partly rescued these changes, hence underscoring the im-portance of taurine in development. We used microarrays to detail changes in global programme of gene expression in newborn offspring skeletal muscle brains from rats subjected to either a control diet, a low protein diet or a low protein diet + taurine supplementation

Project description:Taurine is known to be important for fetal well being and to be able to prevent effects of a low birthweight phenotype when supplemented to pregnant dams. We hypothesized that gestational taurine supplementation would affect gene expression level in 4w offspring liver and skeletal muscle. Pregnant mouse dams were subjected to different diet schemes from day 1 of pregnancy until birth. Pups were killed at 4 weeks of age and liver and quadriceps skeletal muscle taken out and frozen at -80C until analysis. Diet schemes: Normal Protein (20% casein; NP), Normal Protein + taurine (1% taurine supplementation in water ad libitum; NP+tau). The liver and muscle samples were normalized separately.

Project description:Compelling evidence supports that gestational chronodisruption induces major changes in maternal circadian rhythms, fetal development and that these changes impact adult life at many physiological levels. Using a rat model of chronic photoperiod shifting throughout gestation (CPS), we investigated the detrimental effects of gestational CPS on glucose homeostasis, adipose tissue physiology and metabolism in the adult male offspring. At proteomic level, in CPS adipose tissue, 275 proteins displayed differential expression, compared with LD animals fed with a standard diet. Interestingly, CPS offspring and LD fed with HFD showed 20 proteins in common (2 upregulated 18 downregulated). Based on these common proteins, the IPA analysis found that 2 functional pathways were significantly altered; the network 1 (AKT/ERK) and the network 2 (TNF/IL4).

Project description:We investigated sex-specific transcriptomic responses to gestational long- and short-term exposure to particulate matter with a diameter < 2.5 µm (PM2.5) in order to elucidate potential underlying mechanisms of action. Whole genome gene expression was investigated in cord blood of 142 mother-newborn pairs that were enrolled in the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort. Daily PM2.5 exposure levels were calculated for each mother’s home address using a spatial-temporal interpolation model in combination with a dispersion model to estimate both long- (annual average before delivery) and short- (last month of pregnancy) term exposure. We explored the association between gene expression levels and PM2.5 exposure, and identified modulated pathways by overrepresentation analysis and gene set enrichment analysis.

Project description:Background: Gestational age determination by traditional tools (last menstrual period, ultrasonography measurements and Ballard Maturational Assessment in newborns) have major limitations and therefore there is a need to find molecular marker approaches that can be used to determine the accurate gestational age of the newborn. Methods: We performed RRBS (Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing) on 41 cord blood and matching placenta samples. Results: We identified a set of 316 Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs) that undergo demethylation in late gestational age in cord blood cells and can predict the gestational age (r = -0.7, p value<0.0001). Once the set of 411 DMRs that undergo de novo methylation in late gestational age was used in combination with the first set it generated a more accurate clock (r=0.77, p value=1.87E-05). Conclusion: Taken together, this study demonstrates that DNA methylation can accurately predict gestational age. The clinical use of this predictor should be further investigated.

Project description:There is a growing body of evidence that inadequate maternal nutrition during gestation can have immediate and life-long effects on offspring. However, little is known about the reproductive effects of maternal gestational nutrition in offspring males. Here, using a sheep model of poor maternal nutrition (restricted- or over-feeding) during gestation, we found that poor maternal gestational nutrition does not affect semen characteristics (i.e. volume, sperm concentration, pH, sperm motility, sperm morphology) and scrotal circumference in offspring. However, by evaluating associations between poor maternal gestational nutrition and altered small non-cording RNAs (sncRNAs) and DNA methylation in offspring sperm, we demonstrated that poor maternal gestational nutrition alters sperm sncRNA composition and expression. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing further identified genomic regions with increased or decreased DNA methylation in sperm in response to poor maternal gestational nutrition. These findings imply that maternal diet-induced epigenetic errors can accumulate in sperm to worsen developmental outcomes of future generations.
