Impact of high-fat diet and exposure to constant light on reproductive competence of female ICR mice. Biol Open 2023; 12:bio060088.

Abstract
Obesity and exposure to light at night are prevalent in modern society and associated with changes in physiology and behavior that can affect a female's ability to support offspring growth during pregnancy and lactation. A 2X3 factor study of ICR mice was conducted to determine the effect of diet [control (CON; 10% fat) or high fat (HF; 60% fat)] and exposure to regular 12 h light:dark cycles (LD) or continuous low (L5) or high (L100) lux of light on gestation length, birth litter size, milk composition and litter growth to lactation day 12. HF diet reduced birth litter size, but increased postnatal d 12 litter weight (P<0.05), whereas constant light tended to increase litter weight (P=0.07). Continuous light increased gestation length, altered dam feed intake, increased serum prolactin and increased final dam and mammary gland weight (P<0.05), while decreasing mammary ATP content and milk lactose (P<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated a positive relationship between final litter weight and mammary size, metabolic stores (e.g. maternal fat pad weight), kcal of feed intake, and gestation length (P<0.05). Although CON mice spent more time eating than HF dams, the calorically dense HF diet was related to greater rates of litter growth to peak lactation. Constant light circadian disrupting effects appear to be confounded by a potential long day photoperiod response exemplified by higher circulating levels of prolactin and increased body and mammary weight of females exposed to these conditions. Other model systems may be better to study the interacting effects of obesity and circadian disruption on reproductive competence.

Specific Milk Composition of miR-30b Transgenic Mice Associated with Early Duodenum Maturation in Offspring with Lasting Consequences for Growth. J Nutr 2023; 153:2808-2826. [PMID: 37543213 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Milk composition is complex and includes numerous components essential for offspring growth and development. In addition to the high abundance of miR-30b microRNA, milk produced by the transgenic mouse model of miR-30b-mammary deregulation displays a significantly altered fatty acid profile. Moreover, wild-type adopted pups fed miR-30b milk present an early growth defect. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the consequences of miR-30b milk feeding on the duodenal development of wild-type neonates, a prime target of suckled milk, along with comprehensive milk phenotyping. METHODS The duodenums of wild-type pups fed miR-30b milk were extensively characterized at postnatal day (PND)-5, PND-6, and PND-15 using histological, transcriptomic, proteomic, and duodenal permeability analyses and compared with those of pups fed wild-type milk. Milk of miR-30b foster dams collected at mid-lactation was extensively analyzed using proteomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic approaches and hormonal immunoassays. RESULTS At PND-5, wild-type pups fed miR-30b milk showed maturation of their duodenum with 1.5-fold (P < 0.05) and 1.3-fold (P < 0.10) increased expression of Claudin-3 and Claudin-4, respectively, and changes in 8 duodenal proteins (P < 0.10), with an earlier reduction in paracellular and transcellular permeability (183 ng/mL fluorescein sulfonic acid [FSA] and 12 ng/mL horseradish peroxidase [HRP], respectively, compared with 5700 ng/mL FSA and 90 ng/mL HRP in wild-type; P < 0.001). Compared with wild-type milk, miR-30b milk displayed an increase in total lipid (219 g/L compared with 151 g/L; P < 0.05), ceramide (17.6 μM compared with 6.9 μM; P < 0.05), and sphingomyelin concentrations (163.7 μM compared with 76.3 μM; P < 0.05); overexpression of 9 proteins involved in the gut barrier (P < 0.1); and higher insulin and leptin concentrations (1.88 ng/mL and 2.04 ng/mL, respectively, compared with 0.79 ng/mL and 1.06 ng/mL; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS miR-30b milk displays significant changes in bioactive components associated with neonatal duodenal integrity and maturation, which could be involved in the earlier intestinal closure phenotype of the wild-type pups associated with a lower growth rate.

Low colostrum intake results in potential accumulation of peroxisome lipid substrates in vaginal tissue of 3-week-old gilts. Biol Open 2023; 12:bio060044. [PMID: 37566396 PMCID: PMC10434361 DOI: 10.1242/bio.060044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Low colostrum intake relates to poorer health and infertility in swine. We previously connected vaginal lipid profiles at weaning to fertility of sows. We hypothesized vaginal lipidome varied with colostrum intake. Our objective was to determine whether indicators of colostrum intake, immunocrit (IM) and weight gain 24 h postnatal (PN), related to vaginal lipids at d21 PN. Gilts (n=60) were weighed and blood sampled to measure IM. On d21 PN vaginal swabs were taken and lipids measured using multiple reaction monitoring. Abundance of multiple lipids differed (P<0.05) between gilts categorized as high versus low IM and high versus low 24 h gain. The abundance of multiple lipids correlated with IM and 24 h gain. Phosphatidylcholine PC(36:3), PC(36:2), and arachidonic acid (C20:4) positively (P<0.05) correlated with IM. The ether lipid PCo(38:6) and multiple cholesteryl esters negatively (P<0.05) correlated with IM. ROC analysis indicated arachidonic acid and docosanoic acid (C22:0) may serve as excellent biomarkers that distinguish between high and low IM. Similar to gilts found to be infertile, lipid profiles of low colostrum intake animals had greater abundance of very long chain fatty acids, lipids with high levels of unsaturation, and cholesteryl esters, which are metabolized in peroxisomes indicating their potential dysfunction.

Abstract
Circadian, metabolic, and reproductive systems are inter-regulated. Excessive fatness and circadian disruption alter normal physiology and the endocrine milieu, including cortisol, the primary stress hormone. Our aim was to determine the effect feeding a high fat diet to female ICR mice had on diurnal feeding pattern, weight gain, body composition, hair corticosterone levels and circadian patterns of fecal corticosterone. Prepubertal (~35d of age) ICR mice were assigned to control (CON; 10% fat) or high fat (HF; 60% fat) diet and fed for 4 wk to achieve obesity under 12h light and 12h of dark. Feed intake was measured twice daily to determine diurnal intake. Mice were weighed weekly. After 4 wk on diets hair was collected to measure corticosterone, crown-rump length was measured to calculate body mass index (BMI), and body composition was measured with EchoMRI to determine percent fat. HF mice weighed more (P<0.05) after week two, BMI and percent body fat was greater (P<0.05) in HF than CON at the end of wk 4. HF mice consumed more during the day (P<0.05) than CON mice after 1 week on diets. Hair corticosterone was higher in HF mice than in CON (P<0.05). Fecal circadian sampling over 48hr demonstrated that HF mice had elevated basal corticosterone, attenuated circadian rhythms, and a shift in amplitude. High fat feeding for diet induced obesity alters circadian eating pattern and corticosterone rhythms, indicating a need to consider the impact of circadian system disruption on reproductive competence.

Abstract
Prenatal brain development is a highly orchestrated process, making it a very vulnerable window to perturbations. Maternal stress and subsequent inflammation during pregnancy leads to a state referred to as, maternal immune activation (MIA). If persistent, MIA can pose as a significant risk factor for the manifestation of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. To further elucidate this association between MIA and NDD risk, rodent models have been used extensively across laboratories for many years. However, there are few uniform approaches for rodent MIA models which make not only comparisons between studies difficult, but some established approaches come with limitations that can affect experimental outcomes. Here, we provide researchers with a comprehensive review of common experimental variables and potential limitations that should be considered when designing an MIA study based in a rodent model. Experimental variables discussed include: innate immune stimulation using poly I:C and LPS, environmental gestational stress paradigms, rodent diet composition and sterilization, rodent strain, neonatal handling, and the inclusion of sex-specific MIA offspring analyses. We discuss how some aspects of these variables have potential to make a profound impact on MIA data interpretation and reproducibility.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies show that obesity during pregnancy affects more than half of the pregnancies in the developed countries and is associated with obstetric problems and poor outcomes. Obesity tends to increase the incidence of complications. Furthermore, the resulting offspring are also adversely affected. However, the molecular mechanisms of obesity leading to poor pregnancy outcomes remain unclear. Omics methods are used for genetic diagnosis and marker discovery. The aim of this review was to summarize the maternal and fetal pathophysiological alterations induced by gestational obesity,identified using multi-omics detection techniques, and to generalize the biological functions and potential mechanisms of the differentially expressed molecules.

Abstract
Maternal health and diet influence metabolic status and play a crucial role in the development of metabolic function in offspring and their susceptibility to metabolic diseases in adulthood. The pathogenesis of various metabolic disorders is often associated with impairment in intestinal structure and function. Thus, the aim of the current study was to determine the effects of maternal exposure to a high fat diet (HFD), during gestation and lactation, on small intestinal growth and maturation in rat pups at 21 days old. Female, Wistar Han rats were fed either a breeding diet (BD) or high fat diet (HFD), from mating until the 21st day of lactation. Maternal HFD exposure increased body weight, BMI and adiposity. Compared to the maternal BD, HFD exposure influenced small intestine histomorphometry in a segment-dependent manner, changed the activity of brush border enzymes and had an impact on intestinal contractility via changes in cholinergic signaling. Moreover, offspring from the maternal HFD group had upregulated mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, which plays a role in the inflammatory process. These results suggest that maternal HFD exposure, during gestation and lactation, programs the intestinal development of the offspring in a direction toward obesity as observed changes are also commonly reported in models of diet-induced obesity. The results also highlight the importance of maternal diet preferences in the process of developmental programming of metabolic diseases.

Maternal high-fat high-sucrose diet and gestational exercise modulate hepatic fat accumulation and liver mitochondrial respiratory capacity in mothers and male offspring. Metabolism 2021; 116:154704.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal high-caloric nutrition and related gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are associated with a high-risk for developing metabolic complications later in life and in their offspring. In contrast, exercise is recognized as a non-pharmacological strategy against metabolic dysfunctions associated to lifestyle disorders. Therefore, we investigated whether gestational exercise delays the development of metabolic alterations in GDM mothers later in life, but also protects 6-week-old male offspring from adverse effects of maternal diet. METHODS Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with either control (C) or high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) diet to induce GDM and submitted to gestational exercise during the 3 weeks of pregnancy. Male offspring were sedentary and fed with C-diet. RESULTS Sedentary HFHS-fed dams exhibited increased gestational body weight gain (p < 0.01) and glucose intolerance (p < 0.01), characteristic of GDM. Their offspring had normal glucose metabolism, but increased early-age body weight, which was reverted by gestational exercise. Gestational exercise also reduced offspring hepatic triglycerides accumulation (p < 0.05) and improved liver mitochondrial respiration capacity (p < 0.05), contributing to the recovery of liver bioenergetics compromised by maternal HFHS diet. Interestingly, liver mitochondrial respiration remained increased by gestational exercise in HFHS-fed dams despite prolonged HFHS consumption and exercise cessation. CONCLUSIONS Gestational exercise can result in liver mitochondrial adaptations in GDM animals, which can be preserved even after the exercise program cessation. Exposure to maternal GDM programs liver metabolic setting of male offspring, whereas gestational exercise appears as an important preventive tool against maternal diet-induced metabolic alterations.

Abstract
Dietary fiber intake during pregnancy may improve offspring intestinal development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of maternal high fiber intake during late gestation on intestinal morphology, microbiota, and intestinal proteome of newborn piglets. Sixteen sows were randomly allocated into two groups receiving the control diet (CD) and high-fiber diet (HFD) from day 90 of gestation to farrowing. Newborn piglets were selected from each litter, named as CON and Fiber group, respectively. Maternal high fiber intake did not markedly improve the birth weight, but increased the body length, the ileal crypt depth and colonic acetate level. In addition, maternal high fiber intake increased the -diversity indices (Observed species, Simpson, and ACE), and the abundance of Acidobacteria and Bacteroidetes at phylum level, significantly increased the abundance of Bradyrhizobium and Phyllobacterium at genus level in the colon of newborn piglets. Moreover, maternal high fiber intake markedly altered the ileal proteome, increasing the abundances of proteins associated with oxidative status, energy metabolism, and immune and inflammatory responses, and decreasing abundances of proteins related to cellular apoptosis, cell structure, and motility. These findings indicated that maternal high fiber intake could alter intestinal morphology, along with the altered intestinal microbiota composition and proteome of offspring.

High-fat-diet induced obesity increases the proportion of linoleic acyl residues in dam serum and milk and in suckling neonate circulation. Biol Reprod 2020; 103:736-749.

Abstract
AbstractMaternal obesity increases the risk of offspring to become obese and develop related pathologies. Exposure to maternal high-fat diet (HFD) only during lactation increases the risk of obesity-related diseases, suggesting that factors in milk affect long-term health. We hypothesized that prepregnancy obesity induced by HFD alters milk lipidome, and in turn, alterations may affect neonate serum lipidome. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of prepregnancy obesity induced by HFD on circulating lipids in dams and neonates and in milk. Female mice were fed an HFD (60% kcal fat) or control diet (CON, 10% kcal fat) beginning 4 weeks before breeding. On postnatal day 2 (PND2), pups were cross-fostered to create pup groups exposed to HFD during pregnancy, lactation, or both or exposed to CON. On PND12, dams were milked and then euthanized along with pups to collect blood. Serum and milk were processed for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) lipidomics profiling to quantify the relative expression of lipid classes. Lipidome of HFD dam serum and milk had increased proportion of C18:2 free fatty acid and fatty acyl residues in all lipid classes. Lipidome of serum from pups exposed to maternal HFD during lactation was similarly affected. Thus, maternal HFD induced redistribution of fatty acyl residues in the dam’s circulation, which was associated with modification in milk and suckling neonate’s lipidome. Further studies are needed to determine if increased circulating levels of C18:2 in neonate affects development and predisposes offspring to obesity and metabolic syndrome.

One-to-one relationships between milk miRNA content and protein abundance in neonate duodenum support the potential for milk miRNAs regulating neonate development.

Abstract
Breast milk plays an essential role for offspring development; however, there lacks evidence of how specific milk components like nucleic acids mechanistically function to regulate neonate development. Previously, we found that maternal high-fat diet (HFD) not only significantly affected mRNA and miRNA content of the secreted milk transcriptome in mice but also affected the duodenal proteome of suckling pups. Here, we hypothesized that nucleic acids differentially expressed in milk of HFD fed dams are related to differentially abundant proteins in offspring duodenum nursed by HFD dams. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing one-to-one relationships in RNA-seq data of milk transcriptomes from control (10% kcal fat) and HFD (60% kcal fat) fed mice and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) duodenal proteome data from pups exposed to milk. Ten percent of differentially abundant duodenal proteins between controls and HFD-exposed pups had predicted upregulation or downregulation based on differential milk RNA content. Of these, 76% were targets of upregulated miRNA, and linear regression analysis indicated relationships (p < 0.05) between multiple milk miRNA counts and duodenal protein abundance. Duodenal proteins that were potential targets of milk miRNA enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms and KEGG pathways related to cytoskeletal structure and neural development, suggesting potential regulation of pup enteric nervous system. One-to-one relationships between milk miRNA content and protein abundance in neonate duodenum support the potential for milk miRNAs regulating neonate development. Identification of milk miRNAs that changed in response to maternal diet will enable design of mechanistic studies that test effects on neonate.
