Upregulation of hepatic nuclear receptors in extremely preterm ovine fetuses undergoing artificial placenta therapy. J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med 2024; 37:2301651.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extremely preterm infants have low Nuclear Receptor (NR) expression in their developing hepatobiliary systems, as they rely on the placenta and maternal liver for compensation. NRs play a crucial role in detoxification and the elimination of both endogenous and xenobiotic substances by regulating key genes encoding specific proteins. In this study, we utilized an Artificial Placenta Therapy (APT) platform to examine the liver tissue expression of NRs of extremely preterm ovine fetuses. This fetal model, resembling a "knockout placenta," lacks placental and maternal support, while maintaining a healthy extrauterine survival. METHODS Six ovine fetuses at 95 ± 1 d gestational age (GA; term = ∼150 d)/∼600 g delivery weight were maintained on an APT platform for a period of 120 h (APT Group). Six age-matched, in utero control fetuses were delivered at 99-100 d GA (Control Group). Fetal liver tissue samples and blood samples were collected at delivery from both groups and assessed mRNA expression of NRs and target transporters involved in the hepatobiliary transport system using quantitative PCR. Data were tested for group differences with ANOVA (p < .05 deemed significant). RESULTS mRNA expression of NRs was identified in both the placenta and the extremely preterm ovine fetal liver. The expression of HNF4α, LRH1, LXR, ESR1, PXR, CAR, and PPARα/γ were significantly elevated in the liver of the APT Group compared to the Control Group. Moreover, target transporters NTCP, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MRP4 were upregulated, whereas MRP2 and MRP3 were unchanged. Although there was no evidence of liver necrosis or apoptotic changes histologically, there was an impact in the fetal liver of the ATP group at the tissue level with a significant increase in TNFα mRNA, a cytokine involved in liver inflammation, and blood elevation of transaminases. CONCLUSION A number of NRs in the fetal liver were significantly upregulated after loss of placental-maternal support. However, the expression of target transporter genes appeared to be insufficient to compensate role of the placenta and maternal liver and avoid fetal liver damage, potentially due to insufficient excretion of organic anions.

Urinary Bile Acid Profile of Newborns Born by Cesarean Section Is Characterized by Oxidative Metabolism of Primary Bile Acids: Limited Roles of Fetal-Specific CYP3A7 in Cholate Oxidations. Drug Metab Dispos 2020; 48:662-672. [PMID: 32499339 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.120.000011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
This work aims to investigate how the bile acid metabolism of newborns differs from that of adults along the axis of primary, secondary, and tertiary bile acids (BAs). The total unconjugated BA profiles were quantitatively determined by enzyme digestion techniques in urine of 21 newborns born by cesarean section, 29 healthy parturient women, 30 healthy males, and 28 healthy nonpregnant females. As expected, because of a lack of developed gut microbiota, newborns exhibited poor metabolism of secondary BAs. Accordingly, the tertiary BAs contributed limitedly to the urinary excretion of BAs in newborns despite their tertiary-to-secondary ratios significantly increasing. As a result, the primary BAs of newborns underwent extensive oxidative metabolism, resulting in elevated urinary levels of some fetal-specific BAs, including 3-dehydroCA, 3β,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, 3α,12-oxo-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, and nine tetrahydroxy-cholan-24-oic acids (Tetra-BAs). Parturient women had significantly elevated urinary levels of tertiary BAs and fetal-specific BAs compared with female control, indicating that they may be excreted into amniotic fluid for maternal disposition. An in vitro metabolism assay in infant liver microsomes showed that four Tetra-BAs and 3-dehydroCA were hydroxylated metabolites of cholate, glycocholate, and particularly taurocholate. However, the recombinant cytochrome P450 enzyme assay found that the fetal-specific CYP3A7 did not contribute to these oxidation metabolisms as much as expected compared with CYP3A4. In conclusion, newborns show a BA metabolism pattern predominated by primary BA oxidations due to immaturity of secondary BA metabolism. Translational studies following this finding may bring new ideas and strategies for both pediatric pharmacology and diagnosis and treatment of perinatal cholestasis-associated diseases. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The prenatal BA disposition is different from adults because of a lack of gut microbiota. However, how the BA metabolism of newborns differs from that of adults along the axis of primary, secondary, and tertiary BAs remains poorly defined. This work demonstrated that the urinary BA profiles of newborns born by cesarean section are characterized by oxidative metabolism of primary BAs, in which the fetal-specific CYP3A7 plays a limited role in the downstream oxidation metabolism of cholate.

Abstract
Multi-component lipid emulsions, rather than soy-oil emulsions, prevent cholestasis by an unknown mechanism. Here, we quantified liver function, bile acid pools, and gut microbial and metabolite profiles in premature parenterally fed pigs given a soy-oil lipid emulsion, Intralipid (IL), a multi component lipid emulsion, SMOFlipid (SMOF), a novel emulsion with a modified fatty-acid composition [experimental emulsion (EXP)], or a control enteral diet (ENT) for 22 days. We assayed serum cholestasis markers, measured total bile acid levels in plasma, liver, and gut contents, and analyzed colonic bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences and metabolomic profiles. Serum cholestasis markers (i.e., bilirubin, bile acids, and γ-glutamyl transferase) were highest in IL-fed pigs and normalized in those given SMOF, EXP, or ENT. Gut bile acid pools were lowest in the IL treatment and were increased in the SMOF and EXP treatments and comparable to ENT. Multiple bile acids, especially their conjugated forms, were higher in the colon contents of SMOF and EXP than in IL pigs. The colonic microbial communities of SMOF and EXP pigs had lower relative abundance of several gram-positive anaerobes, including Clostridrium XIVa, and higher abundance of Enterobacteriaceae than those of IL and ENT pigs. Differences in lipid and microbial-derived compounds were also observed in colon metabolite profiles. These results indicate that multi-component lipid emulsions prevent cholestasis and restore enterohepatic bile flow in association with gut microbial and metabolomic changes. We conclude that sustained bile flow induced by multi-component lipid emulsions likely exerts a dominant effect in reducing bile acid-sensitive gram-positive bacteria.
