Project description:Primary term human trophoblasts were derived from placentas after a healthy pregnancy, and exposed to ionizing irradiation (vs sham) in vitro Primary human trophoblasts were irradiated 24 h after initial plating, defined as time zero. Cells were irradiated at 10 Gy using a Clinac 600C (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) with a 6 MV photon beam and a dose rate of 250 cGy/min. The flasks containing the cells were placed on 1.5 cm of bolus (a tissue equivalent material) since the maximum irradiation depth was 1.5 cm, which corresponded to the plated cell layer. Cells were analyzed 4, 8, and 24 h after irradiation or sham.

Project description:We compare two groups of transcriptome profiles. They are 1) primary human trophoblasts (PHT) and 2) syncytiotrophoblast from human pluripotent stem cells. This data set represents the former data set and the latter has been deposited separately at GSE72712. Primary human trophoblasts (PHT) were purified cytotrophoblast populations from whole term placentas and then cultured in vitro. The cytotrophoblasts were cultured for short (9 h) or long (48 h) term that show undifferentiated (PHTu) or differentiated (PHTd) phenotype that led syncytialization, respectively. Transcriptome profiles of PHTu and PHTd were compared with three size fractioned syncytiotrophoblasts and trophoblasts from human pluripotent stem cells that are named ESCd_gt70 (greater than 70 µm), ESCd_40-70 (size between 40 and 70 µm), ESCd_lt40 (smaller than 40 µm) and undifferentiated progenitor (ESCu; see GSE72712). Primary human trophoblasts (PHT) were derived and cultured from three term human placentas obtained by the Obstetrical Specimen Procurement Unit from women after a healthy pregnancy, labor, and delivery at Magee-Womens Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Isolated PHT lines obtained from three individual (1 female and 2 male) placentas were cultured separately.

Project description:During pregnancy, trophoblasts in the placenta are important in the success of pregnancy. We identify an adhesion molucule, JAM-C, which expresses on membrane of column cytotrophoblasts and regulates the differentiation and migration of trophoblasts. Primary cytotrophoblasts isolated from 1st trimester villi were transfected with JAM-C or control plasmids. RNA-seq analysis was sujected to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways potentially altered.

Project description:External ionizing Irradiation of pregnant mice at E13.5 4 Gy, gene expression at E17.5 On E13.5, female C57Bl/6HN mice were irradiated (total body) at 0 Gy (sham) or 4 Gy using a Gamma Cell cesium irradiator (JL Shepherd, San Fernando, CA), with a dose rate of 70 cGy/min. The mice were monitored for 4 days, and on E17.5, they were sacrificed, and placentas were procured and processed for RNA extrtaction.

Project description:Primary cultures of human trophoblasts were established from normal, term placenta. Cells were treated five hours after plating. This sample was treated with 1 uM GW7845. RNA was extracted after 48 hours of treatment using Tri-reagent. Each sample was pooled from three individual placentas prior to target generation. Targets were produced using standard Affymetrix procedures from 30ug of total RNA.

Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy disorder characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria that can cause adverse health effects in both mother and fetus. There is no current cure for PE other than delivery of the fetus. While the etiology is unknown, poor placentation of the placenta due to aberrant signaling of growth and angiogenic factors has been postulated as causal factors of PE. In addition, environmental contaminants, such as the metal cadmium (Cd), have been linked to placental toxicity and increased risk of developing PE. Here, we use a translational study design to investigate genomic and epigenomic alterations in both placentas and placental trophoblasts, focused on the angiogenesis-associated transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway. Genes within the TGF-β pathway displayed increased expression in both the preeclamptic placenta and Cd-treated trophoblasts. In addition, miRNAs that target the TGF-β pathway were also significantly altered within the preeclamptic placenta and Cd-treated trophoblasts. Integrative analysis resulted in the identification of a subset of Cd-responsive miRNAs, including miR-26a and miR-155, common to preeclamptic placentas and Cd-treated trophoblasts. These miRNAs have previously been linked to PE and are predicted to regulate members of the TGF-β pathway. Results from this study provide future targets for PE treatment.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection at the maternal-placental interface is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including fetal demise and pregnancy loss. To determine how infection impacts placental trophoblasts, we utilized rhesus macaque trophoblast stem cells (TSC) that can be differentiated into early gestation syncytiotrophoblasts (ST) and extravillous trophoblasts (EVT). TSCs and STs, but not EVTs, were highly permissive to productive infection with ZIKV strain DAK AR 41524. The impact of ZIKV on the cellular transcriptome showed that infection of TSCs and STs increased expression of immune related genes, including those involved in type I and type III interferon responses. ZIKV exposure altered extracellular vesicle (EV) protein, mRNA, and miRNA cargo, regardless of productive infection. These findings suggest that early gestation macaque TSCs and STs are permissive to ZIKV infection, and that EV analysis may provide a foundation for identifying non-invasive biomarkers of placental infection in a highly translational model.

Project description:Tardigrades can survive remarkable doses of ionizing radiation, up to about 1000 times the lethal dose for humans. How they do so is incompletely understood. We found that the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris suffers DNA damage upon gamma irradiation, but damage is repaired. We show that tardigrades have a specific and robust response to ionizing radiation: irradiation induces a rapid, dramatic upregulation of many DNA repair genes. By expressing tardigrade genes in bacteria, we validate that increased expression of some repair genes can suffice to increase radiation tolerance. We show that at least one such gene is necessary for tardigrade radiation tolerance. Tardigrades’ ability to sense ionizing radiation and massively upregulate specific DNA repair pathway genes may represent an evolved solution for maintaining DNA integrity.

Project description:The mammalian brain is especially sensitive to ionizing radiation during development, as shown by the increased occurrence of mental retardation and small head size in children who were in utero exposed to ionizing radiation after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These effects of prenatal irradiation can be mimicked by irradiation of mouse embryos during the organogenesis period. In order to better understand the early effects of ionizing radiation on the embryonic brain and immature neurons, we performed a microarray analysis on brains from mice irradiated with different doses at E11 and E14, as well as primary cortical neuron cultures after 14 h in vitro. RNA was extracted at either 2 h (brains) or 6 h (neurons) post-irradiation.
