怀孕期间母亲的焦虑和抑郁会改变226个基因中的胎盘DNA甲基化. 这些表观遗传变化,特别是与神经发育相关的基因,可能会影响后代的健康,表明DNA甲基化作为潜在的生物标志物.
科学领域:
- 围产阶段精神病学 围产阶段精神病学
- 表观遗传学 在表观遗传学中,表观遗传学是指表观遗传学.
- 发展生物学 发展生物学
背景情况:
- 怀孕期间母亲的精神疾病可能会影响后代的未来健康.
- 胎盘表观遗传学在调解这些影响方面发挥着至关重要的作用.
研究的目的:
- 研究母亲精神疾病对胎盘DNA甲基化模式的影响.
- 为了确定特定的基因和途径由于母亲的焦虑和抑郁症而在胎盘中失调.
主要方法:
- 使用Illumina的TruSeq®甲基捕获EPIC图书馆准备包和NGS进行全基因组DNA甲基化分析.
- 从有 (指数组) 和没有 (对照组) 长期焦虑和抑郁症状的妇女的术后胎盘中比较DNA甲基化模式.
主要成果:
- 与对照组相比,在指数组的226个基因中观察到差异性DNA甲基化 (p < 0.05).
- 在与精神疾病相关的基因 (例如,BRINP1,PUM1) 和离子稳态 (例如,COMMD1) 中发现了超甲基化.
- 细胞外矩阵-受体相互作用途径显著失调,四个与神经发育相关的基因 (EPB41L4B,BMPR2,KLHL18,UBAP2) 在DNA甲基化和转录组水平上都表现出失调.
结论:
- 孕产妇的精神疾病会导致胎盘发生显著的表观遗传变化.
- 这些胎盘表观遗传变化可以作为预测或理解后代健康结果的生物标志物.
- 研究结果表明,在围产期心理健康方面,新型预防技术和干预措施可能成为潜在的目标.
