Placenta insufficiency caused by abnormal folate metabolism linked to fetal growth restriction across gestation and generations [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Folate is important for fetal development and growth, yet its role in placentation is understudied. Here we report that disrupting folate metabolism by the hypomorphic Mtrr mutation in mice causes morphological and functional defects in their placentas that correspond with early- and late-onset fetal growth restriction. Remarkably, Mtrr heterozygous males initiate inheritance of similar placenta phenotypes and fetal growth defects in their wildtype grandprogeny. An integrated genome-wide approach shows placental transcriptional change and epigenetic instability is caused by an intrinsic or ancestral Mtrr mutation, affecting genes important for placenta development and function (e.g., pregnancy specific glycoprotein (Psg)/Ceacams). Crucially, we establish a functional association between mouse placenta transcript levels and fetal size and identify a human PSG gene variant linked to birthweight. This study provides molecular insight into how folate metabolism influences placental development and attributes a potential multigenerational epigenetic mechanism to unexplained cases of fetal growth defects.

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.

Germ cell epigenetic instability in the Mtrr mouse model of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance

Project description:Folate metabolism is important for the generation of methyl groups required for cellular methylation reactions. Mice with a hypomorphic mutation in the gene Mtrr have disrupted folate metabolism and show transgenerational inheritance of developmental abnormalities. We sought to explore if DNA methylation patterns in the sperm of Mtrr mice may be disrupted. Therefore we performed MeDIP-seq on sperm collect from males with the Mtrr mutation (either heterozygous (Mtrr +/gt) or homozygous mutants (Mtrr gt/gt)), males ancestrally exposed to the Mtrr mutation (Mtrr +/+) and C57Bl/6J control males. C57Bl/6J males were used as controls as they have the same genetic background as the mice with Mtrr mutation.

Expression data from mothers, placentas, and newborns in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Project description:Maternal stress has long been associated with lower birthweight but mechanisms remain elusive. This study explored how maternal stress may impact changes in gene expression within a cohort of mother-placenta-newborn triads in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the impact of maternal stress on newborn birthweight and identified that global placental gene expression may partially mediate the negative impact of maternal war stress on newborn birthweight.

Effect of Genetically Reduced Maternal Myostatin on Late Gestation Maternal, Fetal, and Placental Metabolomes in Mice.

Project description:Myostatin (gene symbol: Mstn) is an autocrine and paracrine inhibitor of muscle growth. Pregnant mice with genetically reduced levels of myostatin give birth to offspring with greater adult muscle mass and bone biomechanical strength. However, maternal myostatin is not detectable in fetal circulations. Fetal growth is dependent on the maternal environment, and the provisioning of nutrients and growth factors by the placenta. Thus, this study examined the effect of reduced maternal myostatin on maternal and fetal serum metabolomes, as well as the placental metabolome. Fetal and maternal serum metabolomes were highly distinct, which is consistent with the role of the placenta in creating a specific fetal nutrient environment. There was no effect from myostatin on maternal glucose tolerance or fasting insulin. In comparisons between pregnant control and Mstn+/- mice, there were more significantly different metabolite concentrations in fetal serum, at 50, than in the mother's serum at 33, confirming the effect of maternal myostatin reduction on the fetal metabolic milieu. Polyamines, lysophospholipids, fatty acid oxidation, and vitamin C, in fetal serum, were all affected by maternal myostatin reduction.

Placental gene expression data from human fetuses with isolated spina bifida and fetuses with no congenital anomalies

Project description:Fetal spina bifida can associate with reduced fetal growth. However, little is known about placental development and function in pregnancies with fetal spina bifida, despite that the placenta is a critical regulator of fetal growth. We used data from a case-control study to determine how the placental transcriptome differs in fetuses with isolated spina bifida (cases), compared to fetuses without any congenital anomalies (controls).

Placental gene expression in intestinal nematode-infected and protein-deficient mice

Project description:Protein deficiency and intestinal parasite infection during pregnancy impair fetal growth through passage of signals from the maternal environment which signal impairment of fetal growth. The placenta is an important regulator of the transfer of these signals through differential expression of key placental genes. We used microarrays to examine placental gene expression responses to maternal protein deficiency (6% vs. 24% protein) and Heligmosomoides bakeri infection. 2x2 factorial.

Alteration of LncRNA expression in mice placentae after frozen embryo transfer is associated with increased fetal weight.

Project description:Background: Frozen embryo transfer (FET) significantly upregulates fetal weight compared with fresh embryo transfer. However, the mechanism of FET increasing fetal weight remains unclear. Methods: We transferred blastocysts which had been vitrifified and warmed or fresh blastocysts into individual pseudopregnant recipients (n=11 mice each group) produced by natural mating to eliminate the influence of superovulation. The fetal weight, placental weight, placental efficiency and placenta architecture were compared. We performed placental lncRNA sequencing and mRNA sequencing to study the placental transcriptoms changes. And 15 selected differentially expressed lncRNAs and 15 mRNAs was checked. Findings: Enhanced birthweight (1.513 g vs. 1.685 g, P <0.001) was found in FET mice, with increased placental efficiency (11.355 vs. 10.312, P =0.045) and proportion of labyrinth zone area (59.78% vs. 53.19%, P = 0.034), indicating FET might change the placental function and morphology architecture. A total of placental 97608 mRNAs and 103339 lncRNAs were obtained, among which 1012 mRNAs and 554 lncRNAs showed significantly different expression between two groups. KEGG and GO enrichment analyses showed that the differentially expressed lncRNAs and their targeted mRNAs were related to labyrinth zone formation and maternal-fetal interface vascular remodeling. qRT-PCR, Western blotting and correlation analysis demonstrated that suppressed Lncenc1 to elevate Gjb5 might play a role in increased fetal weight of FET. Interpretation: FET changes the placental function and architecture resulting in higher mouse fetal weight, potentially via the network diagram of Lncenc1-miRNA-Gjb5.

Genetic stability and germ cell epigenetic instability in the Mtrr mouse model of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.

Project description:Folate metabolism is important for DNA synthesis and repair through its role in the synthesis of the nucleotide thymidine. Mice with a hypomorphic mutation in the gene Mtrr have disrupted folate metabolism and show transgenerational inheritance of developmental abnormalities. We sought to explore if genetic mutations arising in the Mtrr mice may be responsible for the inheritance of these phenotypes. Therefore we sequenced the genomes of six embryos homozygous for the Mtrr mutation at embryonic day (E) 10.5 with developmental abnormalities. These were compared to two control C57Bl/6J embryos at E10.5, which had no developmental phenotypes. C57Bl/6J embryos were used as controls as they have the same genetic background as the mice with Mtrr mutation.

Placental uptake and metabolism as determinants of pregnancy vitamin D status [Array]

Project description:Pregnancy 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations are associated with maternal and fetal health outcomes, but the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Using physiological human placental perfusion approaches and intact villous explants we demonstrate a role for the placenta in regulating the relationships between maternal 25(OH)D concentrations and fetal physiology. Here, we demonstrate active placental uptake of 25(OH)D3 by endocytosis and placental metabolism of 25(OH)D3 into 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3], with subsequent release of these metabolites into both the fetal and maternal circulations. Active placental transport of 25(OH)D3 and synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D3 demonstrate that fetal supply is dependent on placental function rather than solely the availability of maternal 25(OH)D3. We demonstrate that 25(OH)D3 exposure induces rapid effects on the placental transcriptome and proteome. These map to multiple pathways central to placental function and thereby fetal development, independent of vitamin D transfer, including transcriptional activation and inflammatory responses. Our data suggest that the underlying epigenetic landscape helps dictate the transcriptional response to vitamin D treatment. This is the first quantitative study demonstrating vitamin D transfer and metabolism by the human placenta; with widespread effects on the placenta itself. These data show complex and synergistic interplay between vitamin D and the placenta, and inform possible interventions to optimise placental function to better support fetal growth and the maternal adaptations to pregnancy.
