Project description:In the present project we examined the effects of maternal obesity to offspring hypothalamic tissue at postnatal day (P) 21. Maternal obesity has emerged as an important risk factor for the development of metabolic disorders in the offspring.To obtain an overview of affected genes in the offsprings hypothalamus, the center of hunger and satiety in the brain, we performed whole genome microarray expression profiling. Female mice were fed either a control diet (SD) or a high fat diet (HFD) after weaning until mating and during pregnancy and gestation. On P21, male pups were sacrificed and blood samples were collected for further analyses. The hypothalamus was cut immediately caudal to the optic chiasm. The dissection was limited laterally by the hypothalamic sulci and dorsally by the mammillothalamic tract. Hypothalamic tissue was immediately frozen at −80° C. A maximum of two offspring per dam were analysed to minimize litter-dependent bias. All studies were performed using male offspring.

Project description:Maternal overnutrition during pregnancy/or lactation predisposes offspring obesity and related metabolic syndromes in later life. Hypothalamus is the highest heterogeneous brain region located at the base of the brain that is critical to the regulation of the energy homeostasis.We investigated how the maternal programming shapes the single-nucleus transcriptomic landscapes in postnatal day15 offspring hypothalamus in a sex-specific manner.

Project description:Maternal obesity alters neurotrophin-associated MAPK ignaling in the hypothalamus of male mouse offspring
| PRJNA560221 | ENA
Project description:Purpose: Study a cohort of C57Bl/6J dams, treated with a control or high-fat-high-sugar diet, and their adult offspring to explore potential hypothalamic mechanisms to explain the link between maternal and offspring obesity. Hypothalamic differential gene expression analysis was conducted following next-generation sequencing (NGS) and analyzed in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. This methodology was supplementary to in vivo studies which characterized offspring metabolic phenotype. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from a subset of offspring hypothalamus tissue using a RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD). Tissues were homogenized in RLT buffer using mechanized syringe homogenization. RNA was assessed for purity and concentration using the NanoDrop (NanoDrop Technologies). Approximately 4ug of total RNA was used to generate cDNA by reverse transcription using a cDNA synthesis kit (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA). Results: There were 31,637 differentially expressed genes in adult OB offspring hypothalamus compared with control diet. Of the identified differentially expressed genes, there were 2510 differentially expressed genes that were significantly different between CON and OB offspring (Supplemental Table 3). In OB offspring, 65% of the identified differentially expressed genes were downregulated whereas 35% were upregulated. Conclusions: Collectively, data demonstrate that maternal obesity without diabetes is associated with adiposity and decreased hypothalamic energy production.

Project description:Purpose: To investiagte why maternal obesity induces the susceptibility of offspring to diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over generations upon over nutrition.The goals of this study are to find over-generationally altered genes and miRNAs which may contribute the accumulative progeny susceptibility to HCC under over nutrition. Methods: C57BL/6 female mice (F0 generation) were fed with either normal chow (NC) or HFD (60% kcal fat) from 1-month to 3-month old, and mated with NC-fed male mice to produce F1 generation. The F2 generation was similarly created. Male offspring of the F0, F1 and F2 generations were intraperitoneally injected with DEN at 2-weeks-old, and kept inmaintained on HFD and named as H1D, H2D and H3D groups, respectively. Male offspring of the F0 generation injected with PBS (Nor group) or DEN (NCD group) at the same age and kept inmaintained on NC. All groups were sacrificed at 40-weeks-old. Liver mRNA profiles and miRNA profiles from the different offspring groups were generated by LncRNA sequencing and small RNA sequencing. Results: We identified many over-generationally changed genes and miRNAs in the offspring by RNA-sequencing. Conclusions: The study revealed an important role of miRNA and targeting genes in regulating the incidence of HCC in the offspring of maternal-lineage under multi-generational HFD exposure, which has a profound effect on exploring the link between maternal obesity and the development of diseases in offspring.

Project description:Purpose: Identify the potential effector that might responding to the irritated hypothalamic ER stress as early as postnatal resulting from maternal obesity exposure. Methods: Three-week-old male offspring were selected for extracting RNA sample from the three groups (triplicate in sample): LP (Lg42_P1, Lg63_P2, Lg63_P3), HP (Hg43_P1, Hg43_P2, Hg13_P3) and HA (Hg43_A1, Hg43_A2, Hg13_A3). After standard RNA quantification and qualification, library preparation, clustering, sequencing and quality control, reads were mapped to the reference genome, and quantified of gene expression level with FPKM. The data were further processed for differential expression and other functional analysis. Results: We identified 789 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (DESeq2, pvalue<0.05, |log2FoldChange|>0.0) in the mice from HP compared with those from LP, of which 408 (52%) were upregulated, while 381 (48%) downregulated. Whereas, for those of HA versus HP, 726 DEGs were detected, with 401 (55%) upregulated and 325 (45%) downregulated. There was a total of 158 overlapped DEGs between the two compared groups. In the following Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, we found that the upregulated DEGs in the HP group were significantly enriched in the categories related to molecular chaperon mediated protein processing. While for those downregulated DEGs in HA, similar theme was enriched with most of the genes from family members of the heat shock protein (Hsp), especially Hsp70. We validated the alteration of two members of Hsp70 in the hypothalamus of the weaning offspring given their crucial role in the stress response. Conclusions: Hspa1b might be the potential effector for the irritated early hypothalamic ER stress and the root of unbalanced stress balance in the hypothalamus undergoing feeding-related circuit axon projection in male offspring from obese dams.

Project description:Maternal omega-3 fatty acids regulate offspring obesity through persistent modulation of gut microbiota
| PRJEB22001 | ENA
Project description:Maternal obesity has long-term effects on offspring metabolic health. Among the potential mechanisms, prior research has indicated potential disruptions in circadian rhythms and gut microbiota in the offspring. To challenge this hypothesis, we implemented a maternal high fat diet regimen before and during pregnancy, followed by a standard diet after birth. Our findings confirm that maternal obesity impacts offspring birth weight and glucose and lipid metabolisms. However, we found minimal impact on circadian rhythms and microbiota that are predominantly driven by the feeding/fasting cycle. Notably, maternal obesity altered rhythmic liver gene expression, affecting mitochondrial function and inflammatory response without disrupting the hepatic circadian clock. These changes could be explained by a masculinisation of liver gene expression similar to the changes observed in polycystic ovarian syndrome. Intriguingly, such alterations seem to provide the first-generation offspring with a degree of protection against obesity when exposed to a high fat diet.

Project description:Maternal obesity and diabetes is associated with increased risk of obesity and diabetes in offspring. We generated a model of maternal caloric excess in Drosophila and noted altered body composition in offspring from females fed a high-sucrose diet. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying this response, we profiled gene expression in mid-third instar larvae (mid-L3) offspring from either control or high-sucrose fed females. All offspring were raised on control food. We used microarrays to detail the response of Drosophila larvae to maternal high calorie diet
