Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) and Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) are major contributor of perinatal morbility and mortality, these pregnancy disorders associated with placental ischemia and share many similar pathophysiological features. The aim of this study was to compare the placental gene expression profiles including mRNA and lnRNAs from pregnant women from four study groups; PE, IUGR, PE-IUGR and normal pregnancy (NP). Gene expression microarray analysis was performed on placental tissue obtained at the moment of delivery and results were validated using RTq-PCR. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that the largest transcript variation was observed in the IUGR samples compared to NP (n=461; 314 mRNAs: 252 up-regulated and 62 down-regulated) and 133 lncRNAs: 36 up-regulated and 98 down-regulated). We also detected a group of differentially expressed transcripts shared between the PE and IUGR samples compared to NP (n=39), including 9 lncRNAs with a high correlation degree (P <0.05). Functional enrichment of these shared transcripts showed that cytokine signaling pathways, protein modification and regulation of JAK-STAT cascade are over-represented in both placental ischemic diseases. These findings contribute to the molecular characterization of placental ischemia showing common epigenetic regulation implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia and Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Project description:Placental disorders contribute to pregnancy complications including preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR), but debate regarding their specific pathobiology persists. Our objective was to apply transcriptomics with weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) to further clarify the placental dysfunction in these conditions.

Project description:Preeclampsia (PE), a maternal hypertensive disorder, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), pathologically poor fetal growth, often co-occur and are associated with placental insufficiency (PI). PI is more common in early-onset PE (EOPE) than late-onset PE (LOPE). However, the relationship between these disorders remains unclear. While DNA methylation (DNAm) alterations have been previously identified in PE and IUGR, few studies validated the findings in an independent cohort. This study aims to identify altered DNAm in EOPE, LOPE, and normotensive IUGR, validate these alterations, and use the findings to better understand the relationships between these related disorders. Placental samples from a discovery cohort (43 controls, 22 EOPE, 18 LOPE, 11 IUGR) and validation cohort (15 controls, 22 EOPE, 11 LOPE) were evaluated using the Illumina HumanMethylation450 array. To minimize gestational age (GA) effects, EOPE samples were compared to pre-term controls (GA <37 weeks), while LOPE and IUGR were compared to term controls (GA >37 weeks). Linear regression identified 1703 differentially methylated (DM) sites (FDR<0.05, ∆β>0.1) in EOPE, 5 in LOPE, and 0 in IUGR. Of the 1703 sites associated with EOPE in the discovery cohort, 599 were validated in the second cohort. These sites cluster samples from both cohorts into 3 distinct methylation clusters. Interestingly, LOPE samples diagnosed between 34-36 weeks and had co-occurring IUGR clustered with the EOPE methylation cluster. DNAm profiling may provide an independent tool to refine clinical diagnoses into subgroups with more uniform pathology. The challenges in reproducing genome-wide DNAm studies are also discussed. DNA methylation data of the validation cohort can be found at GSE98224.

Project description:During human pregnancy, placental cytotrophoblasts invade the uterus and its blood vessels, anchoring the progeny and rerouting maternal blood to the embryo/fetus. In preeclampsia, cytotrophoblast invasion is restricted and blood flow to the placenta is reduced. The causes of restricted cytotrophoblast invasion are unknown. Here, preeclampsia and control cytotrophoblasts were cultured for 48 h to allow differentiation/invasion. In various severe forms of preeclampsia ± intrauterine growth restriction, global transcriptional profiling revealed common aberrations in cytotrophoblast gene expression that resolved with culture. Villous cytotrophoblasts were isolated from preeclampsia placentas (PRE, n=5) and placentas of preterm labor patients without signs of infection (PTL, n=5), which served as gestation-matched controls. To better understand the CTB phenotype in the context of PE variants, we included patients with the most clinically significant forms of this condition that necessitated preterm delivery: women with severe PE ± intrauterine growth restrictions, PE with superimposed hypertension and HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes; low platelet count). RNA was purified immediately after the cells were isolated (0 h) and after 12, 24 and 48 h in culture. The relative gene expression across the whole genome was profiled using the Affymetrix HG-U133Plus 2.0 GeneChip platform. Array quality was assesed using RMAExpress. One sample of preterm labor collected at 48h was omitted (39 arrays total). We used both LIMMA and maSigPro (R/Bioconductor) to determine differentially expressed genes.

Project description:The placenta is critical for mammalian embryonic development because the embryo’s supply of nutrients, including amino acids, depends solely on mother-to-embryo transport through the placenta. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this amino acid supply are poorly understood. In this study, we focused on the system A amino acid transporters, Slc38a1/SNAT1, Slc38a2/SNAT2, and Slc38a4/SNAT4, which carry neutral, short-side-chain amino acids, to determine their involvement in placental or embryonic development. A triple-target CRISPR screen identified Slc38a4/SNAT4 as the critical amino acid transporter for placental development in mice. We established mouse lines from the CRISPR founders with large deletions in Slc38a4 and found that, consistent with the imprinted paternal expression of Slc38a4/SNAT4 in ther placenta, paternal knockout (KO), but not maternal KO, of Slc38a4/SNAT4 caused placental hypoplasia associated with reduced fetal weight. Immunostaining revealed that SNAT4 was widely expressed in differentiating cytotrophoblasts and maturing trophoblasts at the maternal–fetal interface. A blood metabolome analysis revealed that amino acid concentrations were globally reduced in Slc38a4/SNAT4 mutant embryos. These results indicated that, in mice, SNAT4-mediated amino acid transport plays a major role in both placental and embryonic development. Given that expression of Slc38a4 in placentas is conserved in other species, our Slc38a4/SNAT4 mutant mice could be a promising model for the analysis of placental defects leading to intrauterine growth restriction in mammals.

Project description:Preeclampsia is a severe placenta-related pregnancy disorder that is generally divided into two subtypes named early-onset preeclampsia (onset <34 weeks of gestation), and lateonset preeclampsia (onset ≥34 weeks of gestation), with distinct pathophysiological origins. Both forms of preeclampsia have been associated with maternal systemic inflammation. However, alterations in the placental immune system have been less well characterized. Here, we studied immunological alterations in early- and late-onset preeclampsia placentas using a targeted expression profile approach. RNA was extracted from snap-frozen placenta samples (healthy n=13, early-onset preeclampsia n=13, and late-onset preeclampsia n=6). The expression of 730 immune-related genes from the Pan Cancer Immune Profiling Panel was measured, and the data were analyzed Q10 in the advanced analysis module of nSolver software (NanoString Technology). The results showed that early-onset preeclampsia placentas displayed reduced expression of complement, and toll-like receptor (TLR) associated genes, specifically TLR1 and TLR4. Mast cells and M2 macrophages were also decreased in early-onset preeclampsia compared to healthy pl acentas. The findings were confirmed by an immunohistochemistry approach using 20 healthy, 19 early-onset preeclampsia, and 10 late-onset preeclampsia placentas. We conclude that the placental innate immune system is altered in early-onset preeclampsia compared to uncomplicated pregnancies. The absence of these alterations in late-onset preeclampsia placentas indicates dissimilar immunological profiles. The study revealed distinct pathophysiological processes in earlyonset and late-onset preeclampsia placentas and imply that a tailored treatment to each subtype is desirable.
