Commentary: One-carbon metabolism has major implications for fetal growth and development beyond neural tube defects.
Small effect sizes may not be headline grabbing but can nonetheless have important public health implications. The paper by Yajnik et al. in the current issue of IJE reports on a 56 -g reduction in birthweight of infants per standard deviation (SD) increase in homocysteine levels during pregnancy. However, a comparison of women in the lowest vs highest quartile for homcysteine suggests the pote...
متن کاملMaternal Mthfd1 disruption impairs fetal growth but does not cause neural tube defects in mice.
BACKGROUND MTHFD1 encodes C1-tetrahydrofolate synthase, which is a folate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the formation and interconversion of folate-activated one-carbon groups for nucleotide biosynthesis and cellular methylation. A polymorphism in MTHFD1 (1958G→A) impairs enzymatic activity and is associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, but the mechanisms are unknown. ...
متن کاملMaternal smoking, body mass index, and neural tube defects.
The Swedish health registries were used to investigate a possible effect on the incidence of neural tube defects (NTDs) of maternal smoking and maternal body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2). Among 1,199,701 infants born in 1983-1993 with known smoking exposure in early pregnancy, 621 infants with NTDs were selected. After controlling for year of birth, maternal age, parity, education level, BMI, and i...
متن کاملTrehalose prevents neural tube defects by correcting maternal diabetes-suppressed autophagy and neurogenesis.
Preexisting maternal diabetes increases the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs). The mechanism underlying maternal diabetes-induced NTDs is not totally defined, and its prevention remains a challenge. Autophagy, an intracellular process to degrade dysfunction protein and damaged cellular organelles, regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Because autophagy impairment causes...
متن کاملFormation of neurodegenerative aggresome and death-inducing signaling complex in maternal diabetes-induced neural tube defects.
Diabetes mellitus in early pregnancy increases the risk in infants of birth defects, such as neural tube defects (NTDs), known as diabetic embryopathy. NTDs are associated with hyperglycemia-induced protein misfolding and Caspase-8-induced programmed cell death. The present study shows that misfolded proteins are ubiquitinylated, suggesting that ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation is impaired. Mi...
