Project description:Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is linked to elevated risk for systemic adult-onset diseases like hypertension, impaired glucose and immune regulation, and in animal models, to impaired recovery from acute onset diseases like cerebrovascular ischemic stroke. Recent evidence suggests that the gastrointestinal system rapidly becomes dysbiotic following cerebrovascular stroke, resulting in systemic inflammation. We hypothesized that a history of PAE would modify the systemic effects of stroke, and transduce exposure-dependent transcriptomic changes in downstream sentinel tissues of the enteric portal circulation that have previously been linked to biobehavioral outcomes in rodent PAE models. Pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to repeated episodes of vaporized ethanol or room air from gestational day 8 to 19. At 5 months, progeny from each treatment condition were subjected to unilateral endothelin-1 induced occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and outcomes evaluated after 2 days while other progeny stayed stroke-naïve. Stroke induced disabilities were assessed by behavioral assays (adhesive removal, Vibrissae evoked fore-limb placement, circling) and infarct size. The mesenteric adipose tissue and liver transcriptomes were assessed by sequencing, from age-matched stroke-exposed and stroke-naïve offspring. In stroke-naïve animals, pathway analysis identified rRNA processing as downregulated and citric acid cycle as upregulated in mesenteric adipose. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) identified, in the liver of stoke-naïve animals, a moderate but significant correlation between PAE status and necroptosis, a proinflammatory form of programmed cell death (Pearson’s r=0.554, p<0.05). Two days after a stroke, PAE rats exhibited worse neurological scores compared to controls (p<0.05). WGCNA after stroke identified an adipose gene network associated with B cell differentiation and NF-kappa B signaling as moderately correlated with post-stroke neurological function (Pearson's r=0.52, p=0.05). Post-stroke WGCNA also identified a liver proinflammatory gene network strongly correlated with post-stroke neurological function (Pearson's r=-0.63, p<0.01). PAE persistently alters the transcriptome of afferent tissue targets of enteric circulation in adult rat offspring. Moreover, PAE-linked enteric inflammation is correlated to worse outcomes following cerebrovascular ischemic stroke in adulthood. Enteric disturbances may mediate adverse brain health outcomes due to PAE in adulthood.
