Iron-dependent apoptosis causes embryotoxicity in inflamed and obese pregnancy

ABSTRACT: Because iron is essential for a healthy pregnancy, iron supplementation during pregnancy is nearly universally recommended, regardless of maternal iron status. A signal of potential harm is the U-shaped association between maternal ferritin, a marker of iron stores, and risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, ferritin is also induced by inflammation and so may overestimate iron stores during inflammation or infection. We used mouse models to determine whether maternal iron loading, inflammation, or their interaction caused poor pregnancy outcomes. Only maternal exposure to both iron excess and inflammation, but not either condition alone, caused embryo malformations and demise. Maternal iron excess potentiated embryo injury during both LPS-induced acute inflammation and obesity-induced chronic mild inflammation. The adverse interaction was dependent on TNFα signaling, caused apoptosis of the placental and embryo endothelium, and was prevented by anti-TNFα or antioxidant treatment in vivo. Our findings raise important questions about the safety of indiscriminate iron supplementation during pregnancy.

Biliary excretion of excess iron in mice

Project description:Iron is an essential nutrient yet toxic in excess. Our understanding of mammalian mechanisms of dietary iron absorption exceeds our understanding of mechanisms of iron excretion. Here we demonstrate that biliary excretion of excess iron in mice requires the metal transporter SLC39A14 and that excess Fe is excreted into bile as ferritin and heme. The identification of a molecular determinant of iron excretion and the biochemical form of bile iron could lead to development of novel therapeutics for human diseases of iron excess

Maternal iron deficiency modulates placental transcriptome and proteome in mid-gestation of mouse pregnancy

Project description:Background: Maternal iron deficiency (ID) is associated with poor pregnancy and fetal outcomes. The effect is thought to be mediated by the placenta but there is no comprehensive assessment of placental response to maternal ID. Additionally, whether the influence of maternal ID on the placenta differs by fetal sex is unknown. Objectives: Our primary aim was to identify gene and protein signatures of ID mouse placentas at mid-gestation. A secondary objective was to profile the expression of iron genes in mouse placentas across gestation. Methods: We used a real-time PCR based array to determine the mRNA expression of all known iron genes in mouse placentas at embryonic day (E) 12.5, E14.5, E16.5, and E19.5 (n=3 placentas/time point). To determine the effect of maternal ID, we performed RNA sequencing and proteomics in male and female placentas from ID and iron adequate mice at E12.5 (n=8 dams/diet). Results: In female placentas, six genes including transferrin receptor (Tfrc) and solute carrier family 11 member 2 were significantly changed by maternal ID. An additional 154 genes were altered in male ID placentas. Proteomic analysis quantified 7662 proteins in the placenta. Proteins translated from iron responsive element (IRE) containing mRNAs were altered in abundance; ferritin and ferroportin 1 decreased while TFRC increased in ID placenta. Less than 4% of the significantly altered genes in ID placentas occurred both at the transcriptional and translational levels. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that the impact of maternal ID on placental gene expression in mice is limited in scope and magnitude at mid-gestation. We provide strong evidence for IRE-based transcriptional and translational coordination of iron gene expression in the mouse placenta. Finally, we discover sexually dimorphic effects of maternal ID on placental gene expression, with more genes and pathways altered in male compared with female mouse placentas.

The Hyphal Associated Adhesin and Invasin Als3 of Candida albicans Mediates Iron Acquisition from Host Ferritin

Project description:Iron sequestration by host iron-binding proteins is an important mechanism of resistance to microbial infections. Inside oral epithelial cells, iron is stored within the ferritin, and is therefore usually not accessible to pathogenic microbes. We observed that the ferritin concentration within oral epithelial cells was directly related to their susceptibility to damage by the human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Thus, we hypothesized that host ferritin may be used as an iron source by this organism. A screen of C. albicans mutants lacking components of each of the three iron acquisition systems revealed that only the reductive pathway is involved in iron utilization from ferritin by this organism. Transcriptional profiling of wild-type and hyphal-defective C. albicans strains suggested that the C. albicans invasin-like protein Als3 plays a role in ferritin binding.

PIF modulated gene expression in human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC)

Project description:Pregnancy is an immune paradox: where the mother accepts a semi-allograft/allograft (donor embryo), while avoiding maternal immune suppression. Indeed, impaired development of maternal immune tolerance towards the conceptus may be an important cause of implantation failure and pregnancy loss. Successful implantation rates for allogenic donor embryos are unexpectedly high, while abnormal embryos may be unable to initiate maternal tolerance, suggesting that embryo-specific compounds can play a vital role in this process. Both a tolerant T-suppressor (TH2), and inflammatory, T-helper 1 (TH1) cytokine profiles are an integral part of pregnancy and the viable embryo/fetus plays a critical role in creating this delicate balance. Maternal recognition of pregnancy occurs prior to implantation. There were several embryo derived factors reported. However, we previously found that preimplantation factor (PIF) is distinct from the other non-pregnancy-specific embryo-derived factors. Herein we aimed to characterize PIF and examine its role in early pregnancy events by observing the isolated novel peptide's effect on human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC). We did affymetrix, GeneChip Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 array on RNA isolated from normal human PBMC cultured for 24hrs in the presence or absence of PIF to study the genes modulated by PIF.

SECRETORY PROTEOMIC RESPONSES OF ENDOMETRIAL EPITHELIAL CELLS TO TROPHOBLAST DERIVED EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES

Project description:Synchronized cross talk between embryo and endometrium during pre-implantation period is critical for establishment of pregnancy. Extracellular vesicels(EVs) of both embryo and endometrial origin are known to be integral in regulating embryo maternal communication during this time. However, exact molecular signalling pathways or factors that regulate the embryo endometrial communication during pre-conception period remains elusive. Here in this study extracellular vesicles from trophoblast cells were shown to modulate endometrial epithelial cell secretome in favour of embryo implantation and embryo development.

Obesity, Iron Regulation and Colorectal Cancer Risk

Project description:Obesity is an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) although the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Dietary nutrients play a key role in both the prevention and promotion of CRC. While iron is an essential nutrient, excess iron is associated with carcinogenesis. Unlike the systemic compartment, the intestinal lumen lacks an efficient system to regulate iron. In conditions when dietary iron malabsorption and intestinal inflammation co-exist, greater luminal iron is associated with increased intestinal inflammation and a shift in the gut microbiota to more pro-inflammatory strains. However, treatments designed to reduce luminal, including diet restriction and chelation, are associated with lower intestinal inflammation and the colonization of protective gut microbes. Obesity is associated with inflammation-induced, hepcidin-mediated, iron metabolism dysfunction characterized by iron deficiency and dietary iron malabsorption. Obesity is also linked to intestinal inflammation. Currently, there is a fundamental gap in understanding how altered iron metabolism impacts CRC risk in obesity. The investigator’s objective is to conduct a crossover controlled feeding trial of: 1) a "Typical American" diet with "high" heme/non-heme iron", 2) a "Typical American" diet with "low" iron, and 3) a Mediterranean diet with "high" non heme iron and examine effects on colonic and systemic inflammation and the gut microbiome.

Lung microhemorrhage drives macrophage activation and oxidative/inflammatory damage in α-1 antitrypsin deficiency

Project description:Background. Animal models of elastase intratracheal instillation have shown that elastase, unopposed by α-1 antitrypsin (AAT), can induce alveolar hemorrhage with ensuing macrophage inflammation and lung damage. Aim. To identify markers of alveolar hemorrhage and damage using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples and lung tissue explants from AAT deficient (AATD) subjects. Methods. BAL samples (17 patients, 15 controls) were evaluated for free heme and iron concentrations. Alveolar macrophage (AlvMac) activation patterns were assessed by RNA sequencing and validated in vitro using heme-stimulated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Lung explants (7 patients, 4 controls) were evaluated for iron sequestration patterns, by Prussian blue stain and ferritin immunohistochemistry, and for ferritin iron imaging and elemental analysis by electron microscopy (EM). Tissue oxidative damage was assessed by 8-OHdG immunohistochemistry. Results. BAL showed significantly elevated free heme and iron concentrations at lobar level. BAL macrophage RNA sequencing showed innate proinflammatory activation, consistent with free heme activation. AATD tissue alveolar and interstitial macrophages showed elevated iron and ferritin accumulation in large lysosomes packed with iron oxide cores with degraded ferritin protein cages. AATD explants showed massive oxidative DNA damage in lung epithelial cells and macrophages. Conclusions. Identification of BAL and tissue markers of alveolar hemorrhage, together with the molecular and cellular evidence of macrophage innate pro-inflammatory activation and oxidative damage, consistent with free heme stimulation, provides ex vivo evidence for the pathogenetic role of elastase-induced alveolar hemorrhage AATD emphysema as shown in animal studies.

Expression data from pig uterus in response to embryos at blastocyst satge and oocytes

Project description:The maternal tract plays a critical role in the success of early embryonic development providing an optimal environment for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Preparation of this environment requires an intimate dialogue between the embryo and her mother. To advance our understanding of the process by which a foreign blastocyst is accepted by the maternal endometrium and better address the clinical challenges of infertility and pregnancy failure, it is imperative to decipher this complex molecular dialogue. The objective of the present work is to define the local response(s) of the maternal tract towards the embryo during the earliest stages of pregnancy.
