Extracellular vesicle-enriched miRNA profiles across pregnancy in the MADRES cohort

ABSTRACT: We describe changes in miRNA in early and late pregnancy from the MADRES cohort of primarily low-income Hispanic women based in Los Angeles, CA. miRNA derived from extracellular-vesicles (EVs) were isolated from maternal blood plasma samples collected in early and late pregnancy. In this study, we identified 64 of 130 detectable miRNA which significantly increased with the gestational age (GA), and 26 which decreased with GA. Possible fetal sex-specific associations were observed for 30 of these 90 significant miRNA. Predicted gene targets for miRNA significantly associated with GA were identified using MirDIP and were found to be enriched for Gene Ontology categories that included energetic and metabolic processes but were underrepresented in immune-related categories. Circulating EV-associated miRNA during pregnancy are likely important for maternal-fetal communication, and may play roles in supporting and maintaining a healthy pregnancy, given the changing needs of the fetus.

Identification of large offspring syndrome during pregnancy through maternal blood transcriptome analyses

Project description:In vitro production of bovine embryos can result in large/abnormal offspring syndrome (LOS), a condition characterized by macrosomia, macroglossia, exomphalos and placental abnormalities. LOS can lead to the death of dam and calf. Currently, no test exists to identify LOS pregnancies. We hypothesized that maternal blood markers are useful to identify LOS. Bovine fetuses were generated by artificial insemination (control) or produced in vitro. Surgical fetal collections performed on d56 or d105. Maternal blood was collected on gestation d55 and d105. On d56 and d105, fetuses produced in vitro weighing greater than 97th percentile of the AI weight were considered as LOS. To determine whether maternal blood may be used to identify LOS on d55 and/or d105 of gestation, leukocyte mRNA from 23 pregnant females was isolated and sequenced using a short-read platform. Unsupervised clustering grouped 20 samples by animal (n=10 heifers) rather than by stage of pregnancy. Leukocyte gene expression analyses revealed >3,500 differentially expressed genes in females carrying the two largest LOS fetuses. In summary, our study suggests that transcript amount of ATF7IP from d105 maternal leukocytes may be useful to identify extreme cases of LOS.

High-throughput small RNA sequencing of the human placenta at first and third trimester with fetal sex differences analysis

Project description:Human placenta bulk small RNA-seq from healthy pregnancies without infertility, from n=113 first trimester (58 female, 55 male) and n=47 third trimester (19 female, 28 male) tissue samples. Tissue was collected at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, USA. First trimester placenta was collected at 70-102 days of gestation from leftover chorionic villus sampling for prenatal genetic diagnosis. Third trimester placenta was collected after delivery at 254-290 days gestation from the fetal side near the umbilical cord insertion site beneath the amnion. Mothers with pre-existing diabetes or hypertension were excluded. All pregnancies were conceived without fertility treatments, were normal karyotype, and resulted in live singleton births. The average parental age was advanced (over 35 years old) but PCA analysis did not show clustering by either maternal or paternal age. Gonzalez et al 2021 [PMID: 34030457] analyzes similarities and differences between first and third trimester miRNA expression overall. Flowers et al 2021 focuses on the effect of fetal sex on miRNA expression across gestation.

Small RNA sequencing of term whole placenta from normal weight and obese pregnancies

Project description:Context: An increase in maternal insulin resistance (IR) during pregnancy is essential for normal fetal growth. The mechanisms underlying this metabolic adaptation to pregnancy are poorly understood. Placenta factors are believed to instigate and maintain these metabolic changes, as IR decreases shortly after delivery. Methylation of placental gene loci that are common targets for miRNAs, are associated with maternal IR. Objective: We hypothesized that placental miRNAs targeting methylated loci are associated with maternal IR during late pregnancy. Methods: Placental miRNA expression was measured via small RNA-sequencing in a subset of 40 placentas selected by maternal pre-gravid BMI and neonatal adiposity. Results: Median maternal age was 27.5 years, with a median pre-pregnancy BMI of 24.7 kg/m2, and median HOMA-IR of 2.9. Among the five selected miRNA, near delivery maternal HOMA-IR correlated with the placental expression of miRNA-371b-3p (r=0.25; p=0.008) and miRNA-3940-3p (r=0.32; p=0.0004) across the 132 individuals. After adjustment for confounding variables, placental miRNA-3940-3p expression remained significantly associated with HOMA-IR (β=0.16; p=0.03). Conclusion: Placental miRNA may have an autocrine or paracrine effect - regulating placental genes which play a role in modulating maternal IR.

Comprehensive Analysis of Genes Expressed by Rare Microchimeric Fetal Cells in Maternal Mouse Lung

Project description:During pregnancy, cells from each fetus travel into the maternal circulation and organs, resulting in the development of microchimerism. Identification of the cell types in this microchimeric population would permit better understanding of possible mechanisms by which they affect maternal health. However, comprehensive analysis of fetal cells has been hampered by their rarity. In this study, we sought to overcome this obstacle by combining flow cytometry with multidimensional gene expression microarray analysis of fetal cells isolated from the murine maternal lung during late pregnancy. Fetal cells were collected from the lungs of pregnant female mice. cDNA was amplified and hybridized to gene expression microarrays. The resulting fetal cell core transcriptome was interrogated using multiple methods including Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, the BioGPS gene expression database, principal component analysis, the Eurexpress gene expression atlas and primary literature. Here we report that small numbers of fetal cells can be flow sorted from the maternal lung, facilitating discovery-driven gene expression analysis. We additionally show that gene expression data can provide functional information about the fetal cells. Our results suggest that fetal cells in the murine maternal lung are a mixed population, consisting of trophoblasts, mesenchymal stem cells and cells of the immune system. The detection of trophoblasts and immune cells in the maternal lung may facilitate future mechanistic studies related to the development of immune tolerance and pregnancy-related complications, such as preeclampsia. Furthermore, the presence and persistence of mesenchymal stem cells in maternal organs may have implications for long-term postpartum maternal health. Comprehensive gene expression microarray analysis of fetal cells isolated from the pregnant murine maternal lung. Seven individual replicates were performed.

Discovery of canonical and non-canonical miRNAs in brain frontal cortex in control and maternal nutrient restricted fetal baboon

Project description:We have developed a baboon nonhuman primate (NHP) model of maternal nutrient reduction during fetal development (30% global maternal nutrient reduction, MNR) to evaluate the impact of reduced nutrient availability on primate fetal development. We reported (Antonow-Schlorke et al. PNAS, 2011) that MNR induced major cerebral developmental disturbances at mid gestation (0.5G); however, the impact of MNR at late gestation (0.9G) and the mechanisms mediating these effects have not been determined. We hypothesized that MNR alters developmental trajectories of the fetal prefrontal cortex in the late gestation via miRNA regulation of key transcriptional and translational signaling pathways. Pregnant baboons were fed either ad libitum (control; CON; females n=3; males n=3) or a globally reduced diet (70% of controls; females n=3; males n=3) from 0.16G through 0.9G that produces IUGR (14% reduction in fetal weight). Fetuses were removed by Cesarean section at 0.9G, and prefrontal cortex (PFC) sections collected for analysis. Transcriptome (gene arrays) and small transcriptome (small RNA-Seq) analyses of fetal PFC were performed and gene and miRNA profiles were compared between MNR and CON. We present for the first time transcriptome (GSE42756) and small RNA transcriptome expression profiles of the fetal baboon PFC at 0.9G. Pathway analysis showed that MNR had sex-specific effects on key cellular signaling pathways. We conclude that moderate maternal global nutrient reduction during pregnancy can alter signaling pathways related to nutrient sensing and cell proliferation in the late gestation PFC. In addition, inverse expression of miRNAs known to target genes in these pathways suggests that miRNA mechanisms play a role in these changes.

Regulation of fetal liver transcription by maternal nutritional stress

Project description:Pregnancy is a time of extreme metabolic demand that requires coordinated adaptations between mother and fetus. To determine the contributions of maternal and fetal metabolism to metabolic plasticity during gestation, mice with a liver-specific Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase-2 knockout mice (Cpt2-/-), or Pparα KO mice were subjected to late-gestation nutrient stress, a 24hr fast from E16.5 to E17.5. The fetal response to maternal fasting was dominated by maternal lipid metabolism as the loss of maternal hepatic fatty acid oxidation or Pparα signaling accelerated fetal liver transcriptional programing. These data show that maternal nutritional environment is a major driver of perinatal metabolic programing and plasticity.
