Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a five-fold increase in congenital heart defects. It is critical to determine the biological effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) in vivo and high glucose in vitro on neonatal cardiomyocyte progenitor cells (nCPCs) to maximize their regenerative potential. In the present study we seek to investigate the roles of Mir-195 and its hypothesized target gene, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (Ezh2), in GDM. Hypothesis: We predict that high glucose is associated with decreased cellular proliferation, viability and increased senescence through oxidative stress. We also hypothesize that expression of Mir-195 will be higher in DM-nCPCs and inhibit cell proliferation via Ezh2 silencing. Methods: We subjected nCPCs in vitro to increasing glucose concentrations; cellular proliferation, migration, reactive oxygen species generation, and apoptosis were assessed using cell counting kit-8, wound healing, dihydroethidium, and annexin assays respectively. Our in vivo experiments involved injecting four-week old female mice with streptozocin. After pairing diabetic mice with non-diabetic male mice, timed embryos at E14.5 were evaluated for viability, proliferation and characterization. mRNA expression levels of Mir-195 and Ezh2 protein levels were detected using RT-qPCR and western blot analysis respectively. Lipofectamine transfection, with siRNA inhibiting Mir-195, was performed on c-kit+ cardiac stem cells obtained from diabetic mothers. Results: We found that subjecting nCPCs in vitro to increased glucose concentration led to increased % cell death, decreased proliferation and expression of paracrine factors indicating poorer secretome quality from these cells. Our in vivo models showed that maternal diabetes impedes prenatal development as decreased expression of c-kit+/Lin- cells and ISL1+ cells and increased DHE positivity were seen in DM-nCPCs at E14.5. Expression of Mir-195 was higher in DM-nCPCs but Ezh2 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly decreased. siRNA inhibition of Mir-195 revealed higher EZH2 expression in c-kit+ cells and concomitant increase in regenerative capacity. Conclusion: In conclusion, the viability of DM-nCPCs both in vivo and in vitro is decreased compared to NDM-nCPCs suggesting decreased postnatal regenerative capacity. Mir-195 is associated with increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation of nCPCs via abrogation of the protective effects of EZH2.

Background: An increasing number of studies have described the pathological changes of placenta tissues in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), although the underlying mechanisms involved in this process remain uncertain. The aim of the present study was to verify the possible role of microRNA-137 (miR)-137 and FNDC5 in regulating the biological function of trophoblasts in high glucose (HG) conditions during the GDM period. Methods: Expression levels of miR-137 and FNDC5 were measured in placenta specimens, the HG-treated trophoblast cell line HTR-8/SVneo and miR-137- overexpressing HTR-8/SVneo cells using reverse transcription quantitative-PCR or western blotting. The viability of HTR-8/SVneo cells was tested using a Cell Counting kit- 8 (CCK8) assay, with cell migration assessed using scratch and transwell assays. Results: It was observed that the expression levels of miR-137 were increased and the expression levels of FNDC5 were decreased in the placenta tissues of women with severe GDM and in HG-exposed HTR-8/SVneo cells. In addition, upregulating miR-137 in HTR-8/SVneo cells downregulated the expression levels of FNDC5. The viability and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells were suppressed by increased miR-137 expression levels, and upregulating FNDC5 in miR-137-overexpressing HTR-8/SVneo cells resulted in the reversal of all these effects. Conclusion: The data from the present study suggest that miR-137 suppresses the viability and migration of trophoblasts via downregulating FNDC5 in GDM, which may contribute to the pathology of placenta tissues and occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate lipid metabolism in the placenta of Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) individuals and to evaluate its effect on the fetus. Methods: We examined the expression of lipogenesis- and lipolysis-related proteins in the in vitro and in vivo GDM placenta models. Results: The levels of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) were increased, and fat accumulated more during early hyperglycemia, indicating that lipogenesis was stimulated. When hyperglycemia was further extended, lipolysis was activated due to the phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and expression of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). In the animal model of GDM and in the placenta of GDM patients during the extended stage of GDM, the expression of SREBP-1c decreased and the deposition of fat increased. Similar to the results obtained in the in vitro study, lipolysis was enhanced in the animal and human placenta of extended GDM. Conclusion: These results suggest that fat synthesis may be stimulated by lipogenesis in the placenta when the blood glucose level is high. Subsequently, the accumulated fat can be degraded by lipolysis and more fat and its metabolites can be delivered to the fetus when the GDM condition is extended at the late stage of gestation. Imbalanced fat metabolism in the placenta and fetus of GDM patients can cause metabolic complications in the fetus, including fetal macrosomia, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

AbstractThe incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has increased dramatically amongst multiethnic population. However, how gestational diabetes mellitus damages the developing embryo is still unknown. In this study, we used yolk sac membrane (YSM) model to investigate angiogenesis in the developing chick embryo. We determined that in the presence of high glucose, it retarded the growth and extension of the embryonic vascular plexus and it also reduced the density of the vasculature in yolk sac membrane model. Using the same strategy, we used the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) as a model to investigate the influence of high glucose on the vasculature. We established that high glucose inhibited development of the blood vessel plexus and the blood vessels formed had a narrower diameter than control vessels. Concurrent with the abnormal angiogenesis, we also examined how it impacted cardiogenesis. We determined the myocardium in the right ventricle and left atrium were significantly thicker than the control and also there was a reduction in glycogen content in cardiomyocytes. The high glucose also induced excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the cardiomyocytes. We postulated that it was the excess reactive oxygen species that damaged the cardiomyocytes resulting in cardiac hyperplasia.

MicroRNA (miRNA) has been widely suggested to play a vital role of in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We have previously demonstrated that miR-657 can regulate macrophage inflammatory response in GDM. However, the role of miR-657 on M1/M2 macrophage polarization in GDM pathogenesis is not clear yet. This study is aimed at elucidating this issue and identifying novel potential GDM therapeutic targets based on miRNA network. miR-657 is found to be upregulated in placental macrophages demonstrated by real-time PCR, which can enhance macrophage proliferation and migration in vitro. Luciferase reporter assay shows the evidence that FAM46C is a target of miR-657. In addition, miR-657 can promote macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype by downregulating FAM46C in macrophages. The present study strongly suggests miR-657 is involved in GDM pathogenesis by regulating macrophage proliferation, migration, and polarization via targeting FAM46C. miR-657/FAM46C may serve as promising targets for GDM diagnosis and treatment.

Objectives. To observe the role of miR-518d in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its adjusting effects on PPARα and to explore the regulatory mechanisms of the NF-κB pathway in the development and progression of GDM. Methods. Placenta tissues and peripheral plasma were obtained from pregnant women with normal pregnancy and GDM, respectively, followed by the detections of miR-518d contents by RT-PCR and the expression levels of inflammatory factors using ELISA. Human placenta trophoblast cells (HTR8/SVneo) were cultured under the conditions of physiological glucose (PG group) and high glucose level (HG group). Cells in the HG group were transfected with miR-518d control, mimics, and inhibitors and were separately administered with a PPARα-specific antagonist (GW6471) and PPARα siRNA, and cells were divided into the following groups: HG+miR-518d control group (HGNC group), HG+miR-518d mimic group (HGM group), HG+miR-518d inhibitor group (HGI group), HGI+PPARα antagonist group, and HGI+PPARα siRNA group. The relative expression levels of miR-518d, PPARα, and its downstream genes and NF-κB signalling pathway-related genes were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The contents of inflammatory factors were examined by Western blotting. A dual-luciferase report assay was performed to validate the correlations between miR-518d and PPARα. In this study, mouse GDM models were established to further prove the previous hypothesis with an in vivo experiment. A total of 40 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the following groups: normal diet group (ControlMs), GDM group (GDMMs group), GDM+miR-518d antagomir group, and GDM+miR-518d antagomir+PPARα antagonist group. The mouse model of GDM was established by feeding with combined high-sugar and high-saturated fat diet and injecting streptozotocin (STZ) after 15-day feeding. Female and male mice were cocaged in the number ratio of 2 : 1, and the evidence of vaginal suppository detected in female mice was marked as D0 of pregnancy. The contents of total cholesterol (CH), triglyceride (TG), fast glucose, and insulin (INS) were examined using ELISA, followed by the evaluation of insulin resistance (IR). The related expression levels were also detected with the above methods shown in the previous cell culture. Results. miR-518d has a high expression level in placentas with GDM. As the target gene of miR-518d, PPARα was downregulated with the increased levels of miR-518d. When GDM occurs, inflammatory responses were elevated, stimulating the nuclear transport process of NF-κB. Activated NF-κB triggered the phosphorylation of IKKβ and IκBα. Conclusions. High expression of miR-518d was observed in the development of GDM. In this study, we validated that miR-518d negatively regulates the expression of PPARα and triggers the nuclear transport process of NF-κB and phosphorylation of pathway-associated proteins leading to an inflammatory response and the development of GDM.

Abstract Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune insulin-dependent disease associated with destructive bone homeostasis. Accumulating evidence has proven that miRNAs are widely involved in the regulation of bone homeostasis. However, whether miRNAs also regulate osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in T1DM mice is under exploration. In this study, miRNA microarray was utilized to screen the differentially expressed miRNAs, which uncovered that miR-214-3p potentially inhibited BMSCs osteogenic differentiation in T1DM mice. We found that high glucose suppressed BMSCs osteogenic differentiation with significant elevation of the miR-214-3p expression. Further study found that the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was inhibited by AgomiR-214-3p while enhanced by AntagomiR-214-3p in BMSCs supplemented with high glucose. Moreover, we found that miR-214-3p knockout T1DM mice were resistant to high-glucose-induced bone loss. These results provide a novel insight into an inhibitory role of high-glucose-induced miR-214-3p in BMSCs osteogenic differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. Molecular studies revealed that miR-214-3p inhibits BMSCs osteogenic differentiation by targeting the 3′-UTR of β-catenin, which was further corroborated in human bone specimens and BMSCs of T1DM patients. Taken together, our study discovered that miR-214-3p is a pivotal regulator of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation in T1DM mice. Our findings also suggest that miR-214-3p could be a potential target in the treatment of bone disorders in patients with T1DM.
