概括

孕产妇免疫刺激 (MIS) 在小鼠胚胎中减少了酸 (VA) 诱导的神经管缺陷 (NTD). 在MIS中,apoptotic基因表达正常化,这表明了预防这些出生缺陷的分子机制.

科学领域:

发展生物学发展生物学
免疫学免疫学免疫学
毒理学毒理学毒理学

背景情况:

神经管缺陷 (NTDs) 每年影响大约1300名美国新生儿.
瓦尔酸 (VA) 是一种抗药和情绪稳定剂,是已知的导致NTDs的原体.
胚胎神经管中亡的增加是VA诱导的NTD的潜在机制.

研究的目的:

调查母亲免疫刺激 (MIS) 在预防VA诱导的NTD中的作用.
检查MIS对母亲细胞因子产生的影响.
在VA暴露和MIS后分析胚胎亡基因表达.

主要方法:

小鼠接受了VA单独治疗或用干扰素- (IFN-γ) 加VA治疗.
测量了母亲的血清细胞因子水平 (GM-CSF,IFN-γ,IL-6,IL-10,TNFα).
在暴露的胚胎神经组织中评估了亡和抗亡的基因表达.

主要成果:

MIS显著降低了NTD的发生率 (从45.3%降至21.2%).
MIS调节的母细胞因子概况,包括GM-CSF,IFN-γ,IL-6和IL-10.
VA暴露上调了亲细胞亡的基因和下调的抗细胞亡的基因;这被VA + IFN-γ在关闭神经管的胚胎中正常化.

结论:

已确定GM-CSF和IFN-γ是MIS对NTDs的保护作用的潜在调解者.
通过对GM-CSF,IL-6和IL-10等细胞因子的调节,MIS使亡基因表达正常化,为预防VA诱导的NTD提供了分子基础.

Teratogenicity

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...
