Single cell transcriptomics and chromatin accessibility in human fetal microglia

ABSTRACT: Microglia, the myeloid cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are heterogeneous and exhibit distinct stages during mouse development; however, human microglia development is not elucidated. Here, single cell gene expression profiles of 15,782 human microglia and bulk chromatin profiles were assessed in 23 fetuses during development from gestational week (GW) 9 to 18. Microglia are highly heterogeneous at all developmental stages and exhibit transcriptional profiles similar to a phagocytic microglia phenotype associated with disease. Microglia start to mature during this developmental period and increasingly express homeostatic and sensome markers at later gestational stages. Concomitantly, chromatin accessibility increases in microglia from older fetuses with underlying transcriptional networks reminiscent of adult microglia. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that microglia already progress to a more mature, immune-sensing competent phenotype during early human fetal development, which might render microglia vulnerable towards environmental or inflammatory perturbations during early pregnancy.

Impact of fetal growth restriction on neonatal microglia proteome in rat.

Project description:Microglia activation is a key modulator of brain vulnerability in response to intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR). However, the consequences of IUGR on microglia development and on microglia proteome are still unknown. We used a model of IUGR induced by a gestational low-protein diet (LPD) in rat. Microglia were isolated from control and LPD animals at P1 and P4. The aim of this work was characterize the consequence of IUGR on microglia development and investigate the consequences of IUGR exposure on microglia proteome during the first postnatal days using a bioinformatics approach associated with functional assays.

Differential expression profiles of human primary endothelial cells (HUVECs) from umbilical cords of Gestational Diabetic mothers

Project description:Primary endothelial cells from umbilical cord vein (HUVEC) obtained at delivery from gestational diabetic (GD) women, represent an expedient model for the study of the effects of chronic HG in vivo. In fetal tissues genome-wide epigenetic changes are likely to occur with specific long term and even trans-generational effects. We have utilized this model to study the effects of chronic hyperglycemia on the transcriptome and to verify the presence of specific epigenetic changes associated to chronic HG in vascular cells. HUVEC cells from Umbilical cords of 3 Caucasian Gestational Diabetes women were compared with HUVEC cells from umbilical of from 3 Caucasian non diabetic women matching for age and Body Mass Index. [sample collection] Umbilical cords were obtained from 3 Caucasian Gestational diabetes women (diagnosed not later than 28 th gestational week - gw) and from 3 Caucasian non diabetic women matching for age and Body Mass Index (BMI). All pregnants signed an informed consent. All donors were normotensive, and underwent a 100 g 3 hours Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) between the 24 -34th gw. Each woman performed a 7 points-blood glucose monitoring on 3 days at week 34 -36th gw.

Genomics of Estradiol-3-Sulfate Action in the Ovine Fetal Hypothalamus

Project description:In the fetal sheep during late gestation sulfoconjugated estrogens in plasma reach a concentration 40-100 times greater than unconjugated estrogens. The objective of the present study was to determine the genomics of estradiol-3-sulfate (E2S) action in the fetal brain. The hypothesis was that E2S stimulates genes involved in the neuroendocrine pathways in the hypothalamus that direct or facilitate fetal development at the end of gestation. Four sets of chronically-catheterized ovine twin fetuses were studied (gestational age: 120-127 days gestation) with one infused with E2S intracerebroventricularly (1 mg/day) and the other remained untreated (control). After euthanasia, mRNA samples were extracted from the 8 hypothalami, corresponding to the four treatment and four control fetuses. Microarray analysis was performed following the Agilent protocol for 1-color 8x15 microarrays, designed for Ovis aries. A total of 4 sets of chronically-catheterized ovine twin fetuses were studied with one infused with estradiol-3-sulfate intracerebroventricularly (1 mg/day) for 7-12 days, using an osmotic mini-pump implanted in the fetus, and the other served as an untreated control. The gestational age at the time of surgery was 120-127 days of gestation. Twin fetuses were randomly assigned to the two groups at the time of surgery. After 7-12 days of infusion, twin fetuses of known gestational age (130 to 134 days) were euthanized and mRNA samples were extracted from the 8 hypothalami, corresponding to the four treatment and four control fetuses.

In utero exposure to maternal smoking is associated with DNA methylation alterations and reduced neuronal content in the developing fetal brain

Project description:Background; Intrauterine exposure to maternal smoking is linked to impaired executive function and behavioral problems in the offspring. Maternal smoking is associated with reduced fetal brain growth and smaller volume of cortical grey matter in childhood, indicating that prenatal exposure to tobacco may impact cortical development and manifest as behavioral problems. Cellular development is mediated by changes in epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, which can be affected by exposure to tobacco. Results: In this study we sought to ascertain how maternal smoking during pregnancy affects global DNA methylation profiles of the developing dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during the second trimester of gestation. When DLPFC methylation profiles (Illumina, HM450) of smoking-exposed and unexposed fetuses were compared, no differentially methylated regions (DMRs) passed false discovery correction (FDR ² 0.05). However, the most significant DMRs were hypomethylated CpG Islands within the promoter regions of GNA15 and SDHAP3 of smoking-exposed fetuses. Furthermore, developmental up-regulation of SDHAP3 mRNA was delayed in smoking- exposed fetuses. DMRÕs passing FDR were found by interaction analysis between gestational age and smoking exposure annotated to SYCE3, C21orf56/LSS, SPAG1 and RNU12/POLDIP3. Utilizing established methods to estimate cell proportions by DNA methylation, we found that exposed DLPFC samples contained a lower proportion of neurons in samples from fetuses exposed to maternal smoking. We further showed that nicotine impedes the differentiation of neurons in vitro independent of cell death. Conclusions; We found evidence that intrauterine smoking exposure alters the developmental patterning of DNA methylation and gene expression and is associated with reduced mature neuronal content, effects that are likely driven by nicotine.

Comparative proteomics analysis of decidua tissues in early recurrent pregnancy loss

Project description:The project aimed to determine proteomics changes in decidua from patients suffering from unexplained early recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) compared to women undergoing elective abortions. Comparative proteomics analysis by label-free data-independent LC-MS/MS was performed on fresh frozen decidua tissues from 19 RPL patients and 10 controls. Samples from EPL patients were preselected to include only patients with 2 or more recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL), no previous live birth, gestational week from 6-10 weeks and excluded fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Control samples were from women without history of previous miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or preterm delivery, with at least one live born child, at 6-10 gestational weeks and without fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Patients and controls had no significant differences regarding age (Median age RPL = 30; Median age Controls = 34; Mann–Whitney U-test p = 0.082). The mean gestational weak (GW) was 7.9±1.0 weeks in the RPL group and 8.3±1.2 weeks in the control group, without statistically significant difference between groups (Median GW RPL = 8; Median GW Controls = 8; Mann–Whitney U-test p = 0.361).

Genomics of the ovine heart ontogeny during the perinatal period

Project description:The period of development from the last two weeks of gestation through the first two weeks of life spans a period of great functional and metabolic challenge to the fetal and neonatal lamb heart. Important changes in gene expression occur to meet these challenges. On this study, septa from sheep hearts at 130 days gestation (n=6), term (n=8, gestational lenght is around 145 days) and 14-days-old lambs (n=8) were used to model the changes in gene expression patterns during the perinatal period using Agilent 15k ovine microarrays. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) determined five major patterns of co-expressed and functionally related genes during this critical period of cardiac transition. Septum samples from the heart were collected from non-treated fetuses at 130 days of gestational age (GA130d, n=6) and term (n=8); and from naturally born 14-days-old lambs (Lamb, n=8). None of the ewes suffered gestational diseases or showed signs of impending labor.

Expression data from early diphyodont morphogenesis in minature pig

Project description:The miniature pig is diphyodont, making it a valuable alternative model for understanding human tooth development and replacement. However, little is known about gene expression and function during swine odontogenesis. The goal of this study is to undertake the survey of differential gene expression profiling with Affymetrix Porcine GeneChip and functional network analysis during morphogenesis of diphyodont dentition in miniature pigs. The identification of genes related to diphyodont development should lead to a better understanding of morphogenetic patterns and the mechanisms of diphyodont replacement in large animal models and humans. The staged miniature pig embryos and fetuses were obtained by cesarean section at E40, E50, and E60. The last deciduous molar germs, including the dental lamina in mandibles from the same litter were isolated and pooled. The gestational age of embryos used in our study just cover 3 characteristic stages: Dm3 in cap stage without secondary dental lamina (E40); Dm3 in bell stage with secondary dental lamina initiation (E50); Dm3 in secretory stage without evidence of morphological changes in the secondary dental lamina.

Epigenomic and chromosomal architectural reconfiguration in developing human frontal cortex and hippocampus

Project description:Human frontal cortex and hippocampus play key roles in learning and cognition, and are representative structures of the six-layer neocortex and the more ancient allocortex, respectively. Here we investigated the epigenomic and 3D-chromatin conformational dynamics of human frontal cortex and hippocampus development using more than 53,000 joint single-nucleus profiles of chromatin conformation and DNA methylation (sn-m3C-seq) generated from mid-gestational, late-gestational, infant and adult human brains. We found that the remodeling of DNA methylation predominantly happens during late-gestational to early-post-natal development, and is temporally uncoupled from the dynamics of chromatin conformation. We reconstructed regulatory hierarchies of cortical and hippocampal cell differentiation and maturation and identified brain regional-specific regulatory signatures. The single-cell 3D-regulatome approach further enabled the cell-type-specific dissection of neuropsychiatric risk loci during key neurodevelopmental stages and in adult human brains.
