Project description:Turner syndrome is a relatively rare condition that is usually associated with the loss of all or part of an X chromosome. Amniotic fluid is a complicated biological material, could contribute to the understanding of turner syndrome pathogenesis. In this study, ATAC-seq analysis of Turner syndrome (45X) and Female (46XX) amniotic fluid cells was applied to illustrate that genome wide chromatin accessible landscapes. Our results show that Turner Syndrome has higher chromatin accessibility than Female on autosomes and has lower chromosome accessibility on the X chromosome. We identified candidate genomic regions and transcript factors that may play an important role in Turner syndrome pathogenesis. Our analysis suggests that the phenotype of Turner Syndrome should be the result of abnormal regulation of gene expression in the whole genome, not just the result of insufficient doses of X chromosome haploids.

Project description:Background: Turner syndrome, a common sex chromosome aneuploidy, has characteristics and malformations associated with the phenotype. Fetal amniotic fluid is a complex biological material that could contribute to the understanding Turner syndrome pathogenesis. Global gene expression analysis of Turner syndrome fetal amniotic fluid supernatant was utilized to identify organ systems and specific genes that may play a role in the pathophysiologic changes that are seen in individuals with Turner syndrome. Methods: Global gene expression analysis was performed utilizing cell-free RNA from five midtrimester fetuses with Turner syndrome matched with five euploid female fetuses. Total RNA was extracted, amplified, hybridized onto GeneChipM-BM-. Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Network and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes were completed. Chromosomal distribution of gene expression differences, differential expression by pathway and organ system (a M-bM-^@M-^\Turner syndrome core transcriptomeM-bM-^@M-^]), and candidate genes that could play a pathological role were identified. Results: There were 470 differentially expressed genes identified in the Turner syndrome transcriptome. The differentially expressed genes were distributed randomly across different chromosomes. Among genes on the X chromosome, XIST was down-regulated, and SHOX not differentially expressed. The most highly represented organ systems were hematologic/immune and neurologic. Increased representation of differentially expressed genes in the hematologic/immune system distinguishes the Turner syndrome transcriptome from the euploid, trisomy 18 and trisomy 21 transcriptomes previously studied in our laboratory. Manual curation of the differentially expressed gene list identified genes including NFATC3, IGFBP5, and LDLR that warrant further study. 2nd trimester amniotic fluid mRNA expression was compared between 5 Turners and 5 euploid fetuses.

Project description:Amniotic fluid has been proposed as an easily available source of cells for numerous applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The use of amniotic fluid cells in biomedical applications necessitates their unequivocal characterization; however, the exact cellular composition of amniotic fluid and the precise tissue origins of these cells remain largely unclear. Using cells cultured from human amniotic fluid of the second trimester from a healthy fetus and fetuses with spina bifida aperta, we have performed single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the tissue origin and marker expression of cultured amniotic fluid cells at the single-cell level. Our analysis identified nine different cell types of stromal, epithelial and immune cell phenotype, and from various fetal tissue origins, demonstrating the heterogeneity of the cultured amniotic fluid cell population at single-cell resolution. Further, our data question the presence of pluripotent stem cell populations in cultured AF, and provide a comprehensive list of markers for the characterization of its various progenitor and terminally differentiated cell types. Our study highlights the relevance of single-cell analysis approaches for the characterization of amniotic fluid cells in order to harness their full potential in biomedical research and clinical applications.

Project description:Intra-amniotic infection, the invasion of microbes into the amniotic cavity resulting in an inflammatory process, is a clinical condition that can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes for the mother and fetus as well as severe long-term neonatal morbidities. Despite much research focused on the consequences of intra-amniotic infection, there is still little knowledge about the functional roles of innate immune cells that respond to invading microbes. In the current study, we performed RNA sequencing of sorted neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages from amniotic fluid from women with intra-amniotic infection to determine the transcriptomic differences between these innate immune cells. Further, we sought to identify specific transcriptomic pathways that were significantly altered by the maternal or fetal origin of amniotic fluid neutrophils and monocytes, the presence of a severe fetal inflammatory response, and pregnancy outcome (i.e. preterm or term delivery). We showed that significant transcriptomic differences exist between amniotic fluid neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages from women with intra-amniotic infection that are indicative of the distinct roles these cells play. We also found that amniotic fluid monocytes/macrophages of fetal origin display impaired ability to clear out microbes invading the amniotic cavity compared to those of maternal origin. Notably, we demonstrate that the transcriptomic changes in amniotic fluid monocytes/macrophages are heavily associated with the severity of the fetal inflammatory response, suggesting that the trafficking of fetal neutrophils throughout the umbilical cord is partially modulated by monocytes/macrophages in the amniotic cavity. Finally, we show that amniotic fluid neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages from preterm deliveries display enhanced transcriptomic activity compared to those from term deliveries, highlighting the protective role of these innate immune cells in this vulnerable period. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the underlying complexity of local innate immune responses in women with intra-amniotic infection, and provide new insights into the functions of amniotic fluid neutrophils and monocytes in the amniotic cavity.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify the tissue expression patterns and biological pathways enriched in term amniotic fluid cell-free fetal RNA by comparing functional genomic analyses of term and second-trimester amniotic fluid supernatants. There were 2,871 significantly differentially regulated genes. In term amniotic fluid, tissue expression analysis showed enrichment of salivary gland, tracheal, and renal transcripts as compared with brain and embryonic neural cells in the second trimester. Functional analysis of genes upregulated at term revealed pathways that were highly specific for postnatal adaptation such as immune function, digestion, respiration, carbohydrate metabolism, and adipogenesis. Inflammation and prostaglandin synthesis, two key processes involved in normal labor, were also activated in term amniotic fluid. This was a prospective whole genome microarray study comparing eight amniotic fluid samples collected from eight women at term who underwent prelabor cesarean delivery and eight second-trimester amniotic fluid samples from routine amniocenteses. A functional annotation tool was used to compare tissue expression patterns in term and second-trimester samples. Pathways analysis software identified physiologic systems, molecular and cellular functions, and upstream regulators that were significantly overrepresented in term amniotic fluid.

Project description:Amniotic fluid is critical for the development of foetus, which provides the appropriate conditions for foetus growth. Besides its presumed traditional roles of providing movement place and protecting from crushing, amniotic fluid is considered to have more important roles in the nervous development of foetus respecting nervous related compositions and close contact with the skin of foetus. Peripheral nervous sensory system is the feeling basis for the body with neuritis anchoring on the surface of skin. The effect of amniotic fluid on the development of peripheral sensory nervous system is unknown. To disclose the relationship between amniotic fluid and peripheral sensory nervous system, we profiled microRNAs dynamic expression in amniotic fluid during the stages of E13, E15 and E17. The cluster analysis results showed that there were significantly two different expression profiles of microRNAs during this development stage. The followed informatics analysis results showed that these two groups of microRNAs synergistically regulate the axon guidance process. Axon tracing by fluorogold and co-labelled immunofluorescence results indicated that there was a direct interaction between amniotic fluid and peripheral sensory nervous system in axon guidance. Taken together, our work is helpful to understand the development of peripheral sensory nervous system of foetus.
