Project description:Growing oocyte possesses high transcriptional activity, and accumulates massive maternal mRNAs and proteins, which control the initial stages of development. Maternal mRNA degradation (MRD) is required to remove repressive factors and enable zygotic genome activation (ZGA). To explore the function of Ago2 in MRD, we knocked Ago2 down by injection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Ago2 and AGO2 antibody into mouse zygote, and demonstrate that the deletion of Ago2 impairs normal early embryonic development, accompanied by abnormal MRD and ZGA. AGO2 guided by endosiRNAs could target maternal mRNAs and cooperate with P-bodies to promote MRD. We also indicate that AGO2 may associate with saRNA to regulate ZGA-dependent MRD. Our findings provide insights into the function of AGO2 on MRD and suggest its role in ZGA.

Project description:Maternal obesity is becoming a major health consideration for successful pregnancy outcomes. There is growing proof that maternal obesity has a negative influence on placental development and function, thereby adversely influencing offspring programming and health outcomes. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are so far poorly understood. We set out to analyse term placenta whole transcriptome in obese (n=5) and normoweight women (n=5), using Affymetrix microarray platform compromising of 50,000 probe sets. Our analysis shows that the placental transcriptome differs between normoweight and obese women. Different processes and pathways among placenta from obese women were dysregulated, including inflammation and immune responses, lipid metabolism, cell death and survival and cancer pathways, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathway. Together, this global gene expression profiling approach demonstrates and confirms that maternal obesity creates a unique in utero environment that impairs placental transcriptome.

Project description:microRNAs play crucial roles in the early development of an organism. However the regulation of transcription through the action of microRNAs during the initial embyonic development has not been studied. We used microarrays to detail the effect of maternal microRNA mir-34 in regulation of zygotic trancription during the initial stages of Zebrafish embryonic development from one cell stage through the maternal-zygotic transition up to 24 hours post fertilization.

Project description:The reduced folate carrier (RFC1) is an integral membrane protein and facilitative anion exchanger that mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate into mammalian cells. Adequate maternal-fetal transport of folate is necessary for normal embryogenesis. Targeted inactivation of the murine RFC1 gene results in post-implantation embryo lethality, but daily folic acid supplementation of pregnant dams prolongs survival of homozygous embryos until mid-gestation. At E10.5 RFC1-/- embryos are developmentally delayed relative to wildtype littermates, have multiple malformations, including neural tube defects, and die due to failure of chorioallantoic fusion. The mesoderm is sparse and disorganized, and there is a marked absence of erythrocytes in yolk sac blood islands. Affymetrix microarray analysis and quantitative RT-PCR validation of the relative gene expression profiles in E9.5 RFC1-/- vs. RFC1+/+ embryos indicates a dramatic downregulation of multiple genes involved in erythropoiesis, and upregulation of several genes that form the cubilin-megalin multiligand endocytic receptor complex. Megalin protein expression disappears from the visceral yolk sac of RFC1-/- embryos, and cubilin protein is widely misexpressed. Inactivation of RFC1 impacts the expression of several ligands and interacting proteins in the cubilin-amnionless-megalin complex that are involved in the maternal-fetal transport of folate, vitamin B12, and other nutrients, lipids and morphogens required for normal embryogenesis.

Project description:Over 40% of pregnant American women are obese which negatively affects fetal development with long-term consequences for offspring health. Maternal obesity (MO) leads to fibrotic infiltration in skeletal muscle, brown adipose tissue, and other tissues/organs of offspring, but mechanisms remain to be defined. Using a mouse model of diet-induced obesity and unbiased single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), we tested the effeCONs of MO on embryonic fibrogenesis, which serves as the source of fibrogenic and stromal cells in adults. Embryonic somatic tissues were obtained at E9.5, E11.5 and E13.5 of control (CON) and MO mice. Using unsupervised clustering of scRNA-seq data, we identified three major cell clusters with increasing fibrogenic capacity. Compared to CON, the population of fibrogenic cells increased dramatically due to MO, correlated with the elevated expression of transforming growth factor β (Tgfb) and paired related homeobox 1 (Prrx1), as well as fibrogenic genes.

Project description:Maternal obesity has long-term effects on offspring metabolic health. Among the potential mechanisms, prior research has indicated potential disruptions in circadian rhythms and gut microbiota in the offspring. To challenge this hypothesis, we implemented a maternal high fat diet regimen before and during pregnancy, followed by a standard diet after birth. Our findings confirm that maternal obesity impacts offspring birth weight and glucose and lipid metabolisms. However, we found minimal impact on circadian rhythms and microbiota that are predominantly driven by the feeding/fasting cycle. Notably, maternal obesity altered rhythmic liver gene expression, affecting mitochondrial function and inflammatory response without disrupting the hepatic circadian clock. These changes could be explained by a masculinisation of liver gene expression similar to the changes observed in polycystic ovarian syndrome. Intriguingly, such alterations seem to provide the first-generation offspring with a degree of protection against obesity when exposed to a high fat diet.

Project description:It is known that both maternal and paternal health/disease can influence the early development and later metabolic homeostasis of the offspring. We investigated whether maternal exercise during gestation alone could protect the offspring from the adverse effects of either maternal or paternal obesity induced by high-fat diet (HFD). To understand the underlying mechanisms we performed transcriptomics, whole-genome DNA methylation and targeted DNA methylation analysis at the metabolic master regulator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g coactivator-1a (Pgc-1a) promoter in the adult offspring skeletal muscle. Both maternal and paternal HFD resulted in impaired glucose tolerance in the offspring at 9 months of age. Maternal exercise during gestation completely mitigated this metabolic impairment induced by either maternal or paternal HFD. Adult offspring exposed to either maternal or paternal HFD without exercise during gestation had skeletal muscle transcriptional profiles enriched in genes regulating inflammation and immune responses, whereas maternal exercise resulted in a transcriptional profile that was more similar to control offspring from normal chow fed parents. Changes in promoter and CpG DNA methylation were detected between the groups but did not explain the transcriptional changes. Maternal HFD increased methylation of the Pgc-1α promoter at CpG -260, which was prevented by maternal exercise. Paternal HFD did not affect the methylation of the Pgc-1α promoter. These findings demonstrate the negative consequences of maternal and paternal obesity for the offspring’s metabolic outcomes later in life and the clear benefits of maternal exercise during gestation. The mechanisms involve transcriptional regulation of skeletal muscle likely through multiple types of epigenetic modifications.

Project description:Maternal obesity impacts the health of offspring, increasing the risk of developing obesity and/or other metabolic dysregulation in childhood or later in life. Using a genome-wide methylation assay, we identified sex-dependent dysregulation of the methylome of CD3+ T-lymphocytes, a cell type that plays an important role in obesity and inflammatory diseases, in newborn offspring of overweight and obese mothers. Furthermore, the differentially methylated loci were targeted to regulatory regions of the genome, in imprinted genes and genes identified from GWAS as being related to type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Project description:Maternal obesity raises the risk of high-cholesterol exposure for their offspring. Studies in cohorts and animal models report that maternal obesity could increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in offspring including intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, whether exposure to high cholesterol is responsible for brain developmental defects, as well as its underlying mechanism, is still unclear. Here, we constructed a cholesterol exposure model utilizing hiPSC-derived cerebral organoids by exogenously adding cholesterol into the culture system. We preformed scRNA sequence analysis to explore the gene expression changes in brain organoids under additional cholesterol exposure.
