Project description:We compared fetal membrane tissue from preterm labor deliveries to fetal tissue from preterm labor with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) deliveries to further explore the concept that spontaneous preterm birth can result from the initializing of two separate but overlapping pathological events. Chorioamnion, separated into amnion and chorion, was collected from gestationally age-matched cases and controls within 15 minutes of birth, and analyzed using RNA sequencing. In our study, transcriptome analysis of preterm fetal membranes revealed distinct differentially expressed genes for PPROM, separate from preterm labor. This study is the first to report transcriptome data that reflects the individual pathophysiology of amnion and chorion tissue from PPROM deliveries.

Project description:Comparing miRNAs expression levels in chorioamniotic membranes from women at term in labor (TL), women at term not in labor (TNL) and women who deliverd preterm (PTLC). The goal was to see if miRNA levels are indicators of preterm delivery or spontaneous labor at term. A two-channel technology was used in this experiment in which a pooled reference RNA was used for competitive hybridization. The pooled reference was generated at Exiqon in Denmark from a mixture of several human tissues (placenta, thyroid, brain, adipose, spleen, liver, colon, skeletal muscle, ovary, kidney, heart, cervix, testes, esophagus, small intestine, prostate, trachea, thymus, bladder, lung).

Project description:Preterm labor (PTL) and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) lead to severe perinatal morbidity/mortality worldwide. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) act in cell communication and contain microRNAs that are potential biomarkers for these complications. We aimed to compare the expression, in sEV from peripheral blood, of miRNAs between term and preterm pregnancies.

Project description:Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), which precedes approximately 30–40% of preterm births, is the main cause of neonatal morbidity, mortality, and long-term sequelae. In particular, almost half of all PPRPM cases are frequently complicated by subclinical acute inflammation in the placenta and fetal tissue, commonly named as acute histologic chorioamnionitis [HCA]. Increasing evidences suggest that HCA carries additional risks to both the pregnant women and their fetuses, including greater risk of imminent preterm birth, as well as sepsis, neurologic morbidity, and mortality in neonates. More accurate and early prenatal predictive markers (especially noninvasive ones) are urgently needed for identifying subclinical HCA in the context of PPROM.To identify potential biomarkers in the plasma that could predict histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), using shotgun and targeted proteomic analyses.

Project description:BackgroundGlobally, preterm birth remains the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years old. Spontaneous preterm birth is comprised of two events that may or may not occur simultaneously: preterm labor and preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM). To further explore the concept that spontaneous preterm birth can result from the initializing of two separate but overlapping pathological events, we compared fetal membrane tissue from preterm labor deliveries to fetal tissue from preterm labor with PPROM deliveries. We hypothesized that the fetal membrane tissue from preterm labor with PPROM cases will have an RNA-seq profile divergent from the fetal membrane tissue from preterm labor controls.MethodsChorioamnion, separated into amnion and chorion, was collected from eight gestationally age-matched cases and controls within 15 min of birth, and analyzed using RNA sequencing. Pathway enrichment analyses and functional annotations of differentially expressed genes were performed using KEGG and Gene Ontogeny Pathway enrichment analyses.ResultsA total of 1466 genes were differentially expressed in the amnion, and 484 genes were differentially expressed in the chorion (log2 fold change > 1, FDR < 0.05) in cases (preterm labor with PPROM), versus controls (preterm labor only). In the amnion, the most significantly enriched (FDR < 0.01) KEGG pathway among down-regulated genes was the extracellular matrix receptor interaction pathway. Seven of the most significantly enriched pathways were comprised of multiple genes from the COL family, including COL1A, COL3A1, COL4A4, and COL4A6. In the chorion, the most significantly enriched KEGG pathways in up-regulated genes were chemokine, NOD receptor, Toll-like receptor, and cytokine-cytokine receptor signaling pathways. Similarly, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis for up-regulated genes in the amnion included three inflammatory pathways: cytokine-cytokine interaction, TNF signaling and the CXCL family. Six genes were significantly up regulated in chorionic tissue discriminated between cases (preterm labor with PPROM) and controls (preterm labor only) including GBP5, CXCL9, ALPL, S100A8, CASP5 and MMP25.ConclusionsIn our study, transcriptome analysis of preterm fetal membranes revealed distinct differentially expressed genes for PPROM, separate from preterm labor. This study is the first to report transcriptome data that reflects the individual pathophysiology of amnion and chorion tissue from PPROM deliveries.

Project description:Myometrial biopsies were collected from 31 women undergoing primary cesarean sections and were carefully phenotyped with respect to gestational age (GA), circumstances of labor onset, and clinical status at the start and end of the intervention. Cases were aggregated into groups as follows: Group 1: term birth following spontaneous onset of term labor (TL, n=5); Group 2: term birth by elective cesarean section not in labor (TNL, n=5); Group 3: PTB following spontaneous preterm labor with intact membranes (n=6); Group 4: preterm birth following PPROM (n=8); and Group 5: provider-initiated preterm birth in the absence of active labor contractions, cervical dilation or membrane rupture (n=7). Additional phenotyping of cases spontaneously committed to PTBs (Groups 3 and 4) involved presence or absence of Triple I based on cultures of amniotic fluid obtained via clinically-indicated amniocentesis. RNAs were profiled using second generation RNA sequencing.

Project description:Preterm birth is multifactorial in origin with several distinct clinical phenotypes of differing etiologies, including idiopathic preterm birth. Preterm birth involves the interaction of genetic, societal and environmental factors such as nutrition, lifestyle and stress that may modulate the length of gestation via the epigenome. DNA methylation is a well-studied epigenetic modification whereby promoter methylation commonly represses gene expression and vice versa. Myometrial tissue was obtained at cesarean section at term with or without labor, preterm without labor, idiopathic preterm labor, and twin gestations with labor. Differences in the myometrial epigenomes were identified at gene promoters, CpG islands, CpG island shores and shelves, gene bodies across the genome between the groups of women with preterm labor of different phenotypes vs. normal term labor. Functional clustering analysis indicated the significantly enriched pathways of hypomethylated genes (permissive) were related to acute inflammatory and acute-phase responses. By contrast, genes that are hypermethylated (repressive) revealed enrichment for contractile fibers and cell. This study provides the first high-resolution DNA methylome of human myometrium with evidence for differences in the methylome that may relate to idiopathic preterm birth via regulation of gene expression. The findings extend previous observations that idiopathic preterm labor is associated with subclinical intrauterine infection and inflammatory pathways and point to targets for further molecular characterization of preterm delivery.

Project description:Approximately 25% of all preterm births are due to preterm premature rupture of membranes. Mice deficient in proteoglycans biglycan (Bgn) and decorin (Dcn) display abnormal fetal membranes and increased incidence of preterm birth. We conducted RNA-Seq to profile fetal membranes and identify molecular pathways that may lead to preterm birth in double knockout (DKO) mice (Bgn −/−; Dcn −/− ) compared to wild-type (WT) at two different gestational stages, E12 and E18 (n=3 in each group). 3264 transcripts were differentially regulated in E18 DKO vs. WT fetal membranes, and 96 transcripts differentially regulated in E12 DKO vs. WT fetal membranes (FDR<0.05, log 2 FC≥1). Differentially regulated transcripts in E18 DKO fetal membranes were significantly enriched for genes involved in cell cycle regulation, extracellular matrix-receptor interaction, and the complement cascade. 50 transcripts involved in the cell cycle were altered in E18 DKO fetal membranes (40↓, 10↑, FDR<0.05), including p21 and p57 (↑), and Tgfb2, Smad3, CycA, Cdk1, and Cdk2(↓). Thirty-one transcripts involved in the complement cascade were altered (11↓, 20↑, FDR<0.05) in E18 DKO fetal membranes, including C1q, C2, and C3 (↑). Differentially expressed genes in the top three molecular pathways (1) showed evidence of negative or purifying selection, and (2) were significantly enriched (Z-score>10) for transcription factor binding sites for Nr2f1 at E18. We propose that in DKO mice, cell cycle arrest results in lack of cell proliferation in fetal membranes, inability to contain the growing fetus, and preterm birth.
