Placental nitrosative stress and in utero exposure to particulate matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and aims A wide variety of adverse health effects on both fetuses and neonates have been ascribed to particulate matter (PM) air pollution. Recent evidence suggests that PM exposure results in increased oxidative and nitrosative stress. In the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort, we investigated the association of placental 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) with PM exposure during various time windows of pregnancy.

Lower Placental Leptin Promoter Methylation in Association with Fine Particulate Matter Air Pollution during Pregnancy and Placental Nitrosative Stress at Birth in the ENVIRONAGE Cohort
BACKGROUND Particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) affects human fetal development during pregnancy. Oxidative stress is a putative mechanism by which PM2.5 may exert its effects. Leptin (LEP) is an energy-regulating hormone involved in fetal growth and development. OBJECTIVES We investigated in placental tissue whether DNA methylation of the LEP promoter is associated with PM2.5 ...
متن کاملPlacental Mitochondrial DNA Content and Particulate Air Pollution during in Utero Life
BACKGROUND Studies emphasize the importance of particulate matter (PM) in the formation of reactive oxygen species and inflammation. We hypothesized that these processes can influence mitochondrial function of the placenta and fetus. OBJECTIVE We investigated the influence of PM₁₀ exposure during pregnancy on the mitochondrial DNA content (mtDNA content) of the placenta and umbilical cord blo...
متن کاملPlacental miRNA expression in association with in utero particulate air pollution exposure
Background and aims Particulate matter exposure during in utero life may entail adverse health outcomes later in life. Epidemiological studies in adults have linked air pollution’s adverse effects to alterations in gene expression profiles, which can be regulated by epigenetic mechanisms, including microRNAs (miRNAs). MiRNAs have been implicated in diverse biological processes. We investigate t...

Background and aims Exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution during pregnancy may affect human fetal development. Epigenetic mechanisms are believed to play an essential role in the developmental changes during early life. Within the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort, we investigated whether in utero exposure to PM is associated with differences in placental DNA methylation of genes involved in ...
متن کاملEvaluation the Protective Role of Gallic Acid on Cardiac Arrhythmias Induced by Oxidative Stress in Rat Exposure to Particulate Matters
Introduction: Particulate matter (PM) increases the risk of heart disorders. Gallic acid (GA) with strong antioxidant properties has shown an effective role in reducing the complications of various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of Gallic acid in preventing cardiac arrhythmias due to exposure to particulate matter. Methods: In this study, 40 rats were pla...
