Newborn sex-specific transcriptome signatures and gestational exposure to fine particles: findings from the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort

Air pollution exposure during pregnancy has been associated with adverse birth outcomes and health problems later in life. We investigated sex-specific transcriptomic responses to gestational long- and short-term exposure to particulate matter with a diameter

We investigated sex-specific transcriptomic responses to gestational long- and short-term exposure to particulate matter with a diameter &lt; 2.5 μm (PM ) in order to elucidate potential underlying mechanisms of action. Whole genome gene expression was investigated in cord blood of 142 mother-newborn pairs that were enrolled in the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort. Daily PM exposure levels were calculated for each mother's home address using a spatial-temporal interpolation model in combination with a dispersion model to estimate both long- (annual average before delivery) and short- (last month of pregnancy) term exposure. We explored the association between gene expression levels and PM exposure, and identified modulated pathways by overrepresentation analysis and gene set enrichment analysis. Some processes were altered in both sexes for long- (e.g. DNA damage) or short-term exposure (e.g. olfactory signaling). For long-term exposure in boys neurodevelopment and RhoA pathways were modulated, while in girls defensin expression was down-regulated. For short-term exposure we identified pathways related to synaptic transmission and mitochondrial function (boys) and immune response (girls). This is the first whole genome gene expression study in cord blood to identify sex-specific pathways altered by PM . The identified transcriptome pathways could provide new molecular insights as to the interaction pattern of early life PM exposure with the biological development of the fetus.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1476-069X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1476-069X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1186/s12940-017-0264-y</identifier><identifier>PMID: 28583124</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: BioMed Central Ltd</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Air Pollutants - analysis ; Air Pollutants - toxicity ; Air pollution ; Airborne particulates ; Alcohol ; Ambient air pollution ; Belgium ; Birth weight ; Cancer ; Childbirth &amp; labor ; Cohort Studies ; Cord blood ; Damage ; Deoxyribonucleic acid ; DNA ; DNA damage ; DNA microarrays ; Education ; Environmental health ; Ethnicity ; Exposure ; Female ; Fetal ; Fetal Blood - chemistry ; Fetuses ; Gene expression ; Gene set enrichment analysis ; Genomes ; Girls ; Grandparents ; Health aspects ; Health problems ; Health risk assessment ; Humans ; Immune response ; Immune system ; Infant, Newborn ; Infants (Newborn) ; Interpolation ; Kinases ; Male ; Maternal Exposure ; Microarray analysis ; Mitochondria ; Mothers ; Neurodevelopment ; Outdoor air quality ; Parent educational background ; Particulate matter ; Particulate Matter - analysis ; Particulate Matter - toxicity ; Pregnancy ; RhoA protein ; Rope ; Sex ; Sex Factors ; Signatures ; Synaptic transmission ; Transcriptome - drug effects ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>Environmental health, 2017-06, Vol.16 (1), p.52-52, Article 52</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2017 BioMed Central Ltd.</rights><rights>Copyright BioMed Central 2017</rights><rights>The Author(s). 2017</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c560t-b60a6e52a6789780eb6ec8087f4fbb6f1ec6ee99dad0145f9faa383d103ae0553</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c560t-b60a6e52a6789780eb6ec8087f4fbb6f1ec6ee99dad0145f9faa383d103ae0553</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5458481/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/1915552959?pq-origsite=primo$$EHTML$$P50$$Gproquest$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,727,780,784,885,25752,27923,27924,37011,37012,44589,53790,53792</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28583124$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Winckelmans, Ellen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Vrijens, Karen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Tsamou, Maria</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Janssen, Bram G</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Saenen, Nelly D</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Roels, Harry A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Kleinjans, Jos</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lefebvre, Wouter</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Vanpoucke, Charlotte</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>de Kok, Theo M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Nawrot, Tim S</creatorcontrib><title>Newborn sex-specific transcriptome signatures and gestational exposure to fine particles: findings from the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort</title><title>Environmental health</title><addtitle>Environ Health</addtitle><description>Air pollution exposure during pregnancy has been associated with adverse birth outcomes and health problems later in life.
