Multi-omics Analysis of Umbilical Cord Hematopoietic Stem Cells from a Multi-ethnic Cohort of Hawaii Reveals the Intergenerational Effect of Maternal Pre-Pregnancy Obesity and Risk Prediction for Cancers

ABSTRACT: Maternal obesity is a health concern that may predispose newborns to a high risk of medical problems later in life. To understand the transgenerational effect of maternal obesity, we conducted a multi-omics study, using DNA methylation and gene expression in the CD34+/CD38-/Lin- umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (uHSCs) and metabolomics of the cord blood, all from a multi-ethnic cohort (n=72) from Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawaii (collected between 2016 and 2018). Differential methylation (DM) analysis unveiled a global hypermethylation pattern in the maternal pre-pregnancy obese group (BH adjusted p<0.05), adjusting for major clinical confounders. Functional analysis revealed significant associations of differentially methylated sites with downregulated cell cycle, lipid synthesis, immune signaling, and metabolic pathways. Utilizing Shannon entropy to evaluate uHSCs methylation levels, we discerned a notable impact of maternal obesity on higher quiescence of uHSCs. Further, the multi-omics integration revealed dysfunction in adipogenesis, erythropoietin production, cell differentiation and DNA repair. This study reveals a significant correlation between pre-pregnancy maternal obesity and multi-omics level molecular changes in the uHSCs of offspring, particularly in DNA methylation. These findings suggest that maternal obesity can lead to alterations that affect physiological pathways in the offspring.

Multi-omic brain and behavioral correlates of cell-free fetal DNA methylation in macaque maternal obesity models

Project description:Maternal obesity during pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) risk. We utilized integrative multi-omics to examine maternal obesity effects on offspring neurodevelopment in rhesus macaques by comparison to lean controls and two interventions. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) from longitudinal maternal blood-derived cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) significantly overlapped with DMRs from infant brain. The DMRs were enriched for neurodevelopmental functions, methylation-sensitive developmental transcription factor motifs, and human NDD DMRs identified from brain and placenta. Brain and cffDNA methylation levels from a large region overlapping mir-663 correlated with maternal obesity, metabolic and immune markers, and infant behavior. A DUX4 hippocampal co-methylation network correlated with maternal obesity, infant behavior, infant hippocampal lipidomic and metabolomic profiles, and maternal blood measurements of DUX4 cffDNA methylation, cytokines, and metabolites. We conclude that in this model, maternal obesity was associated with changes in the infant brain and behavior, and these differences were detectable in pregnancy through integrative analyses of cffDNA methylation with immune and metabolic factors.

Methylome analyses by Infinium MethylationEPIC assay from umbilical cord and placenta samples of mothers with or without obesity before pregnancy and mothers with and without gestational obesity

Project description:Maternal obesity before and during pregnancy may have an effect on the offspring outcomes. Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, might mediate this association by causing changes in gene expression. The study tried to find epigenetic marks in umbilical cord and placenta samples related to unfavourable outcomes in the offspring that could be used as biomarkers.

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).

Investigation of placental gene expression in obese women exposed to Metformin during pregnancy

Project description:Maternal obesity in pregnancy is associated with increased birth-weight, obesity and premature mortality in adult offspring. The Effect of Metformin on Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Pregnant Obese Women (EMPOWaR) trial was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial carried out to determine whether exposure to Metformin would affect the offspring birth-weight centile. Obese women exposed to Metformin had increased insulin sensitivity at 36 weeks of pregnancy, but there were no differences in offspring birthweight. We obtained the placentas from these women to determine whether there were differences in expression of genes regulating fetal growth and metabolism. In a complementary study we investigated DNA methylation in the same samples.

Multi-omics Analysis Revealing the Impact of Excessive Maternal Folate Supplementation on Offspring Brain Development [spatial transcriptome]

Project description:Folate is crucial for diverse biological processes including neurogenesis. While folate supplementation during pregnancy is standard for preventing neural tube defects (NTDs), concerns are growing over the potential risks of excessive maternal intake. In this study, we employed spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus multi-omics techniques to investigate the impact of increased maternal folate intake on offspring brain development. Elevated folate intake broadly affected gene pathways linked to neurogenesis and neuronal axon myelination across multiple brain regions. Furthermore, specific gene expression alterations related to learning and memory processes emerged in thalamic and ventricular regions. Single-nucleus multi-omics analysis revealed that maturing excitatory neurons in dentate gyrus are particularly vulnerable to suboptimal maternal folate intake. Aberrant gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes were primarily centered on pathways governing ribosomal biogenesis, which is critical for synaptic formation. Altogether, our findings provide novel insights into how excessive maternal folate supplementation affects offspring brain development, notably by influencing gene expression and chromatin accessibility.

Smaller stature in childhood following assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is not explained by parental or gestational factors, early childhood environment, or fetal DNA methylation [GUSTO_cord_tissue]

Project description:As part of an investigation on contributors to offspring size following assisted reproduction, we investigated fetal cord tissue DNA methylation at 281 CpGs previously associated with maternal pregnancy morbidity or offspring growth across various tissues. The Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles in previously frozen cord tissues samples from 69 assisted reproduction-conceived and 950 spotaneously conceived live births.

Metabolomics profile of umbilical cord blood is associated with maternal pre-pregnant obesity in a perspective multi-ethnic cohort displaying health disparities

Project description:Maternal obesity has become a growing global health concern that impacts fetal health and subsequently predisposes the offspring to medical conditions later in life. However, the molecular link between abnormal fetal metabolomic profiles and maternal obesity has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we report new discoveries from the newborn cord blood metabolomes associated with a case-control maternal obesity cohort, collected from multi-ethnic populations in Hawaii, including rarely reported Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders (NHPI). This cohort displays significant maternal obesity disparities by subjects’ residential area average income and health insurance. An elastic net penalized logistic regression model was constructed to associate cord blood metabolomics and demographic/physiological information to maternal obesity, with accuracy as high as 0.947. We identify 29 metabolites as early-life biomarkers manifesting intrauterine effect of maternal obesity.
