Project description:Intrauterine growth restriction is a common cause of small for gestational age (SGA) infants worldwide. SGA infants are deficient in digestive enzymes required for fat digestion and absorption compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA), putting them at risk for impaired neurocognitive development. The objective was to determine if a hydrolyzed fat (HF) infant formula containing soy free fatty acids, 2-monoacylglycerolpalmitate, cholesterol, and soy lecithin could increase brain tissue incorporation of essential fatty acids or white matter to enhance brain development in SGA and AGA neonatal piglet models. Sex-matched, littermate pairs of SGA (0.5-0.9kg) and AGA (1.2-1.8kg) 2 day old piglets (N=60) were randomly assigned to control (CON) or HF formula diets in a 2 x 2 factorial design. On day 14, 24 piglets were used for hippocampal RNA-sequencing; the rest began a spatial learning task. On days 26-29, brain structure was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cerebellum and hippocampus were analyzed for fatty acid content. SGA piglets grew more slowly than AGA piglets, with no effect of diet on daily weight gain or weight at MRI. HF diet did not affect brain weight. HF diet increased relative volumes of 7 brain regions and white matter (WM) volume in both SGA and AGA piglets. However, HF did not ameliorate SGA total WM integrity deficits. RNA sequencing revealed SGA piglets had increased gene expression of synapse and cell signaling pathways and decreased expression of ribosome pathways in the hippocampus compared to AGA. HF decreased expression of immune response related genes in the hippocampus of AGA and SGA piglets, but did not correct gene expression patterns in SGA piglets. Piglets learned the T-maze task at the same rate, but SGA HF, SGA CON, and AGA HF piglets had more accurate performance than AGA CON piglets on reversal day 2. HF increased arachidonic acid (ARA) percentage in the cerebellum and total ARA in the hippocampus. HF enhanced brain development in the neonatal piglet measured by brain volume and WM volume in specific brain regions; however, more studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes.

Project description:Placental insufficiency leading to intrauterine growth restriction demonstrates perturbed gene expression affecting placental angiogenesis and nutrient transfer from mother to fetus. To understand the post-transcriptional mechanisms underlying such placental gene expression changes, our objective was to identify key non-coding microRNAs that express biological function. To this end, we undertook microarray targeting microRNAs in placentas of appropriate (AGA, n=3) versus small for gestational age (SGA, n=3) weight infants and observed upregulation of 97 miRs in SGA versus AGA. In a larger cohort of samples, we validated by qRT-PCR, differential expression of three specific microRNAs that target genes mediating angiogenesis and nutrient transfer. We performed microarray on a small cohort of samples in order to identify differential expression in pathways involved with angiogenesis and nutrient transfer, essential processes for placental function that when perturbed, may result in intrauterine growth restriction.

Project description:<p><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Restricted or enhanced intrauterine growth is associated with elevated risks of early and late metabolic problems in humans. Metabolomics based on amino acid and carnitine/acylcarnitine profile may have a role in fetal and early postnatal energy metabolism. In this study, the relationship between intrauterine growth status and early metabolomics profile was evaluated.</p><p><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> A single center retrospective cohort study was conducted. Newborn infants were enrolled into the study and they were grouped according to their birth weight percentile as small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) infants. In all infants amino acid and carnitine/acylcarnitine profile with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were recorded and compared between groups.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> LGA infants had higher levels of glutamic acid and lower levels of ornithine, alanine and glycine (p<0.05) when compared to AGA infants. SGA infants had higher levels of alanine and glycine levels when compared with AGA and LGA infants. Total carnitine, C0, C2, C4, C5, C10:1, C18:1, C18:2, C14-OH and C18:2-OH levels were significantly higher and C3 and C6-DC levels were lower in SGA infants (p<0.05). LGA infants had higher C3 and C5:1 level; and lower C18:2 and C16:1-OH levels (p<0.05). There were positive correlations between free carnitine and phenylalanine, arginine, methionine, alanine and glycine levels (p<0.05). Also a positive correlation between ponderal index and C3, C5-DC, C14, C14:1; and a negative correlation between ponderal index and ornithine, alanine, glycine, C16:1-OH, C18:2 were shown.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> We demonstrated differences in metabolomics possibly reflecting the energy metabolism in newborn infants with intrauterine growth problems in the early postnatal period. These differences might be the footprints of metabolic disturbances in future adulthood.</p>

Project description:Sub-optimal fetal development is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and adiposity later in life. However, definitions of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and small for gestational age (SGA) are based on simple statistical approaches that may misclassify infants with a normal developmental profile and vice versa. We used an unbiased global profiling approach to identify gene expression patterns in umbilical cord tissue from 38 infants and identified a set of 466 genes which separated the subjects into 2 distinct groups – one biased towards lower birth weight and one biased towards normal birth weight. The data suggest that approximately 30% of children of normal size have a molecular profile more typical of impaired fetal development and who may be on a programmed trajectory. Differences in expression between the two groups encompassed 384 upregulated and 82 downregulated genes. Molecular profiling at birth may have utility in identifying markers that potentially reflect antenatal developmental and may be predictive of future phenotypic development after birth. Importantly, it may provide an alternative to the current classification of infants using birth weights. RNA from umbilical cord tissue from full term neonates was extracted and hybridized. Separation into 2 distinct groups, independent of birth weight, but based solely on gene expression levels was analysed by Genespring. After appropriate statistical analysis, one group was keenly associated with a higher birth weight (22 samples) while the other was associated with a lower birth-weight (18 samples). Technical replicates were included for all 40 samples.

Project description:Preterm or small for gestational age (SGA) infants are to be at high risk of noncommunicable diseases in adolescence, because they are exposed to hypoxia and malnutrition in and ex utero during perinatal period. Epigenetics could be one of the most important mechanisms of DOHaD.In the field of premature babies, previous studies investigated the methylation alterations related to gestational age and birthweight by using cord blood samples. In the field of preterm or SGA babies, there were few EWAS studies that examine whether methylation changes relate to RNA expression using cord blood samples, and the interpretation of postnatal blood methylation were different by studies.The objective is to investigate the epigenetic alterations associated with preterm birth and SGA by using methylation and expression microarray, and to explore the epigenetic changes which may persist after birth.

Project description:In 1990, David Barker proposed that prenatal nutrition is directly linked to adult cardiovascular disease. Since then, the relationship between adult cardiovascular risk, metabolic syndrome and birth weight has been widely documented. Here we used the TruSeq Methyl Capture EPIC platform to compare the methylation patterns in cord blood from large for gestational age (LGA), small for gestational age (SGA) and adequate for gestational age/Control (AGA/Ctl) newborns. We found several differentially methylated CpGs (DMCs) and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between LGA, SGA and AGA groups. A system biology approach identified several biological processes significantly enriched with genes in association with DMCs including Regulation of transcription, Regulation of epinephrine secretion, Norepinephrine biosynthesis, Receptor transactivation, Forebrain regionalization and several terms related with kidney and cardiovascular development. Gene ontology analysis of the genes in association with the DMRs identified several significantly enriched biological processes related with kidney development including Mesonephric duct development and Nephron tubule development. Furthermore, our dataset identified several DNA methylation markers enriched at gene networks involved in biological pathways and rare diseases of the cardiovascular system, kidneys and metabolism. Our study identified several DMCs/DMRs in association with fetal growth patterns. The use of cord blood as material for the identification of DNA methylation biomarkers gives us the possibility to perform follow up studies on the same patients as they enter childhood and puberty. These studies will not only help us understand how the methylome responds to continuum postnatal growth but also link early alterations of the DNA methylome with later clinical markers of growth and metabolic fitness.

Project description:We report that after cancer cells are exposed to a transient pulse (5h) of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IFNγ, they continue up-regulating genes in the antigen presentation pathway for days after abrogation of the original signal. We discovered that a new mechanism of cell-to-cell communication, cytokine catch-and-release, explains this surprising result.
