Gestational diabetes mellitus alters placental structure, efficiency, and plasticity

ABSTRACT: The hemochorial placenta provides a critical barrier at the maternal-fetal interface to modulate maternal immune tolerance and enable gas and nutrient exchange between mother and conceptus. Pregnancy outcomes are adversely affected by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, the effects of GDM on placental formation, and subsequently fetal development, are not fully understood. In this report, streptozotocin was used to induce hyperglycemia in pregnant rats for the purpose of investigating the impact of GDM on placental formation and fetal development. GDM caused placentomegaly and placenta malformation, decreasing placental efficiency and fetal size. Elevated glucose disrupted rat trophoblast stem (TS) cell differentiation in vitro. Evidence of altered trophoblast differentiation was also observed in vivo, as hyperglycemia affected the junctional zone transcriptome and interfered with intrauterine trophoblast invasion and uterine spiral artery remodeling. When exposed to hypoxia, rats with GDM showed decreased proliferation and ectoplacental cone development on gestation day (gd) 9.5 and complete pregnancy loss by gd 13.5. Furthermore, elevated glucose concentrations inhibited TS cell responses to hypoxia in vitro. Overall, these results indicate that alterations in placental development, efficiency, and plasticity could contribute to the suboptimal fetal outcomes in offspring from pregnancies complicated by GDM.

Serum exosomal miRNA profile in pregnancies with gestational diabetes based on pancreatic β-cell function

Project description:Pancreatic β-cell function impairment is a key mechanism for developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Maternal and placental exosomes regulate maternal and placental responses during hyperglycemia. Studies have associated exosomal micro RNAs (miRNAs) with GDM development. To date, no studies have been reported that evaluate the profile of miRNAs present in maternal and placental exosomes in the early stages of gestation from pregnancies that develop GDM. We used microarrays to assess whether early pregnancy maternal and placental exosomal miRNA profiles vary according to pancreatic β-cell function in women who will develop GDM (preGDM).

Treating the placenta with nanoparticles to prevent altered placental secretion and fetal development in response to hypoxia [Fetal Plasma]

Project description:Hypoxia-related pregnancy complications increase the risk of disease in the child in later life. No prevention is available. Previously we noted that a trophoblast barrier, an in vitro model of the placenta, reacted to oxidative stress by secreting factors that damage neighbouring cells. Application of mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant MitoQ prevented this. Here we tested the effects of MitoQ-bound nanoparticles on trophoblast barriers and in a rat model of gestational hypoxia.A single dose of MitoQ-nanoparticles, administered maternally before a hypoxic episode, reduced oxidative stress in the placental barrier without reaching the fetus and prevented changes to birthweight. MitoQ-nanoparticles further suppressed damaging signalling from the placental barriers. Altered signalling molecules in the fetal plasma and in conditioned media from rat placenta included changes to proteins with relevance to cardiovascular disease. We suggest as a future possibility, treatment of the placenta to prevent disease in the offspring in later life.

Activation of the interferon pathway in trophoblast cells infected with SARS-CoV-2

Project description:Infection with SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy has been associated with poor maternal and neonatal outcomes and placental defects. The placenta, which acts as a physical and immunological barrier at the maternal/fetal interface, is not established until the end of the first trimester. Therefore, localized viral infection of the trophoblast compartment early in gestation could trigger an inflammatory response resulting in altered placental function and consequent suboptimal conditions for fetal growth and development. In this study, we investigated the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection in early gestation placentae using placenta-derived human trophoblast stem cells (TSC), a novel in vitro model, and their extra-villous trophoblast (EVT) and syncytiotrophoblast (STB) derivatives. Consistent with host viral entry protein expression, SARS-CoV-2 was able to productively replicate in TSC-derived STB and EVT but not undifferentiated TSC. Both early EVT and STB elicited an interferon-mediated innate immune response similar to other cells infected with this virus. Therefore, we have also shown that placenta derived TSCs are a robust in vitro model to investigate the effect of this viral infection in the trophoblast compartment of the early placenta. Overall, these results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection in early gestation can adversely affect placental development and that might occur via directly infecting the differentiated trophoblast compartment, thus posing a higher risk for poor pregnancy outcomes.

Single-cell atlas of patient-derived trophoblast organoids (TO) in on-going pregnancies.

Project description:Trophoblast organoids (TOs) hold great promise for elucidating human placental development and function. By deriving TOs in on-going pregnancies using chorionic villus sampling (CVS), we established a platform to study trophoblast differentiation and function in early pregnancy, including pregnancies with different fetal genetic abnormalities. We addressed cellular heterogeneity of CVS-derived TOs by providing a single-cell transcriptomic atlas and show that CVS-TOs recapitulate key aspects of the human placenta, including syncytial fusion and hormone synthesis. This study demonstrates the utility of trophoblast organoids for investigating genetic defects in the placenta and describes an experimental platform for future personalized placental medicine approaches, including genotype-phenotype mapping.

Conservation at the uterine-placental interface

Project description:The hemochorial placentation site is characterized by a dynamic interplay between trophoblast cells and maternal cells. These cells cooperate to establish an interface required for nutrient delivery to promote fetal growth. In the human, trophoblast cells penetrate deep into the uterus. This is not a consistent feature of hemochorial placentation and has hindered the establishment of suitable animal models. The rat represents an intriguing model for investigating hemochorial placentation with deep trophoblast cell invasion. In this study, we used single cell RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptome of the invasive trophoblast cell lineage, as well as other cell populations within the rat uterine-placental interface during early (gestation day, gd, 15.5) and late (gd 19.5) stages of intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion. We identified a robust set of transcripts that define invasive trophoblast cells, as well as transcripts that distinguished endothelial, smooth muscle, natural killer, and macrophage cells. Invasive trophoblast, immune, and endothelial cell populations exhibited distinct spatial relationships within the uterine-placental interface. Furthermore, the maturation stage of invasive trophoblast cell development could be determined by assessing gestation-stage dependent changes in transcript expression. Finally, and most importantly, expression of a prominent subset of rat invasive trophoblast cell transcripts is conserved in the invasive extravillous trophoblast cell lineage of the human placenta. These findings provide foundational data to identify and interrogate key conserved regulatory mechanisms essential for development and function of an important compartment within the hemochorial placentation site that is essential for a healthy pregnancy.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS IMPACT PLACENTATION THROUGH ACTIONS ON TROPHOBLAST, IMMUNE , AND ENDOTHELIAL CELL DYNAMICS [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Our environment is replete with chemicals that can affect embryonic and extraembryonic development. Dioxins, such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), are compounds affecting development through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). TCDD exposures can lead to placental adaptations and at higher doses pregnancy termination. Deep intrauterine endovascular trophoblast cell invasion was a prominent placentation site adaptation to TCDD. TCDD-mediated placental adaptations were dependent upon maternal AHR signaling but not placental or fetal AHR nor the presence of a prominent AHR target, cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1). At the placentation site, TCDD stimulated CYP1A1 transcription within endothelial cells but not trophoblast cells. Immune and trophoblast cell behaviors at the uterine-placental interface were guided by the actions of TCDD on endothelial cells. In summary, we have identified an AHR regulatory pathway activated by environmental stressors affecting uterine and trophoblast cell dynamics and the formation of the hemochorial placenta.

Dynamic and distinct histone modifications facilitate human trophoblast lineage specification

Project description:The placenta serves as an essential organ for nurturing fetal growth throughout pregnancy. Histone modification is a crucial regulatory mechanism involved in numerous biological processes and development. Nevertheless, there remains a significant gap in our understanding regarding the precise mechanisms and extent to which various histone modifications influence the critical process of trophoblast lineage differentiation, which is fundamental to placental development. Here, we conducted a comprehensive mapping of H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27ac loci during trophoblast stem cells (TSC) differentiation into syncytiotrophoblasts (ST) and extravillous trophoblasts (EVT) to investigate the regulatory roles and dynamic changes in histone modifications in trophoblast lineage specification.
