Maternal gestational nutrition perturbs offspring sperm epigenome in sheep [BiSulfite-seq]

ABSTRACT: There is a growing body of evidence that inadequate maternal nutrition during gestation can have immediate and life-long effects on offspring. However, little is known about the reproductive effects of maternal gestational nutrition in offspring males. Here, using a sheep model of poor maternal nutrition (restricted- or over-feeding) during gestation, we found that poor maternal gestational nutrition does not affect semen characteristics (i.e. volume, sperm concentration, pH, sperm motility, sperm morphology) and scrotal circumference in offspring. However, by evaluating associations between poor maternal gestational nutrition and altered small non-cording RNAs (sncRNAs) and DNA methylation in offspring sperm, we demonstrated that poor maternal gestational nutrition alters sperm sncRNA composition and expression. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing further identified genomic regions with increased or decreased DNA methylation in sperm in response to poor maternal gestational nutrition. These findings imply that maternal diet-induced epigenetic errors can accumulate in sperm to worsen developmental outcomes of future generations.

Poor maternal nutrition during gestation alters prenatal muscle growth and development in offspring

Project description:We hypothesized that poor maternal nutrition during gestation would reduce the growth and development of offspring muscle prenatally, reduce the number of myogenic progenitor cells, and result in changes in the global expression of genes involved in prenatal muscle development and function. Ewes were fed a control (100% NRC)-, restricted (60% NRC),- or over-fed (140% NRC) diet beginning at day 30 of gestation until day 45, 90, and 135 of gestation or until parturition. In offspring, we report altered secondary: primary muscle fiber ratios and percent PAX7 positive cells during fetal development. In addition, changes in muscle mRNA expression were observed between maternal dietary treatments and over timepoints during gestation. In conclusion, poor maternal nutrition during gestation contributes to altered offspring muscle growth during early fetal development which persists throughout the fetal stage.

Gestational chronodisruption throughout pregnancy impairs adipose tissue physiology in the offspring

Project description:Compelling evidence supports that gestational chronodisruption induces major changes in maternal circadian rhythms, fetal development and that these changes impact adult life at many physiological levels. Using a rat model of chronic photoperiod shifting throughout gestation (CPS), we investigated the detrimental effects of gestational CPS on glucose homeostasis, adipose tissue physiology and metabolism in the adult male offspring. At proteomic level, in CPS adipose tissue, 275 proteins displayed differential expression, compared with LD animals fed with a standard diet. Interestingly, CPS offspring and LD fed with HFD showed 20 proteins in common (2 upregulated 18 downregulated). Based on these common proteins, the IPA analysis found that 2 functional pathways were significantly altered; the network 1 (AKT/ERK) and the network 2 (TNF/IL4).

Paternal under and over nutrition modify semen composition and preimplantation embryo developmental kinetics in mice

Project description:Poor parental health can influence the development and eventual health outcomes of their offspring. Many studies have detailed the maternal role yet a father’s health requires further examination as his poor nutritional status has also been shown to have negative consequences on fetal development and impact the long-term health of his offspring. The present study examined how preimplantation embryo development was altered by sub-optimal paternal diet, with specific focus on sperm- and seminal plasma-mediated mechanisms. To address this, male mice were fed a diet to model either under (low protein diet (LPD)) or over (high fat/sugar ‘Western’ diet (WD)) nutrition, LPD or WD supplemented with methyl-donors or a control diet (CD) before mating. Embryo development was assessed using in vitro time-lapse imaging of preimplantation embryos which revealed a significant increase in embryo development rates in all experimental groups when compared to CD embryos. Further analysis of the semen revealed a significant number of differentially expressed seminal plasma proteins in all groups (LPD: 13, MD-LPD: 27, WD: 24, MD-WD: 19) when compared to control. This study highlights a role for paternal nutritional status influencing embryonic development and the maternal reproductive tract via changes to his metabolic and reproductive health. These findings demonstrate potential direct (sperm-mediated) and indirect (seminal plasma-mediated) pathways in which a father's poor diet could shape the long-term health of his offspring

Maternal methionine supplementation alters the epigenome of the offspring [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Maternal nutrition can induce modifications in the epigenome of the fetus, resulting in gene expression alterations and impacting future performance. Epigenetic changes are related to nutrition via the one carbon cycle, which involves aminoacid methionine. We hypothesized that an increased dietary methionine in beef cows during early gestation will impact the whole-genome DNA methylation and transcriptome of the offspring.

Maternal Undernutrition Results in Transcript Changes in Male Offspring that May Promote Resistance to High Fat Diet Induced Weight Gain

Project description:Maternal nutrition during embryonic development and lactation influences multiple aspects of offspring health. Using mice, this study investigates the effects of maternal caloric restriction (CR) during mid-gestation and lactation on offspring neonatal development and on adult metabolic function when challenged by a high fat diet (HFD). The CR maternal model produced male and female offspring that were significantly smaller, in terms of weight and length, and females had delayed puberty. Adult offspring born to CR dams had a sexually dimorphic response to the high fat diet. Compared to offspring of maternal control dams, adult female, but not male, CR offspring gained more weight in response to high fat diet at 10 weeks. In adipose tissue of male HFD offspring, maternal undernutrition resulted in blunted expression of genes associated with weight gain and increased expression of genes that protect against weight gain. Regardless of maternal nutrition status, HFD male offspring showed increased expression of genes associated with nonalcoholic liver disease (NAFLD). Furthermore, we observed significant, sexually dimorphic differences in serum TSH. These data reveal tissue- and sex-specific changes in gene and hormone regulation following mild maternal undernutrition, which may offer protection against diet induced weight gain in adult male offspring.

Methylation arrays (MethylationEPIC) of cord and peripheral whole blood from children born to mothers with obesity or gestational diabetes, with longitudinal follow-up during their first year of life

Project description:Epidemiological studies have associated maternal metabolic conditions such as obesity and gestational diabetes with poor health outcomes in the offspring. Epigenetic mechanisms may help explain the intrauterine influence that mothers have on their offspring during pregnancy. Here, using Illumina's MethylationEPIC array technology, we have longitudinally profiled the blood methylomes of children born to mothers with obesity and obesity with gestational diabetes, and healthy controls, during the first year of life (measurements at 0, cord blood; 6 and 12 months, peripheral blood).

MeDIP-seq of ICR mouse sperm with different combinations of in utero undernutrition and postnatal undernutrition

Project description:Maternal caloric restriction during the last week of gestation resulted in low birth weight (LBW) and increased risk of LBW-associated metabolic diseases in adult life. The metabolic phenotypes transmitted to F2 generation by paternal manner without additional altered nutrition. To investigate the mechanism of this intergenerational inheritance, two Cohorts were exposed to different magnitudes of undernutrition both in utero during the last week of gestation and/or postnatal until weaning. We performed MeDIP-seq on the genomic DNA from sperm collected from these mice.
