Although the importance of methyl metabolism in fetal development is well recognized, there is limited information on the dynamics of methionine flow through maternal and fetal tissues and on how this is related to circulating total homocysteine concentrations. Rates of homocysteine remethylation in maternal and fetal tissues on days 11, 19, and 21 of gestation were measured in pregnant rats fe...
Proliferation and differentiation of granulecytes, macrophages, and both myeloid committed (CFC) and pluripotent (CFU) stem cells in diffusion chamber (DC) cultures of fetal liver were studied in order to evaluate the role of circulating humoral factors in the control of fetal myelopoiesis. When DC with fetal liver cells were implanted into mice rendered neutropenic by pretreatment with cycloph...
Human tissues express growth hormone receptors (hGHR) by the 3rd mo of gestation. We assessed developmental changes in hGHR function in fibroblasts and liver, testing binding and hormonal response. Fetal cells showed low but reproducible hGH binding. No age-related changes occurred in fibroblasts (9 wk-34 yr). In contrast, there was a fourfold increase in hGH binding in postnatal liver, with a ...
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze phase II conjugation reactions and play an important role in the inactivation and elimination of several drugs. It is well known that the UGT activity in fetal livers is low compared with the UGT activity in adult livers. In this study the mRNA expression levels of the three human subfamilies, 2B7, 2B15, and 2B17, were determined in 20 adult and 60 f...
The ontogeny of cells containing the enzyme terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) in human fetal liver, bone marrow, and thymus has been studied using a highly specific antiserum to TdT together with monoclonal antiprecursor cell antibodies in double and triple marker immunofluorescence. TdT+ cells were first observed in fetal liver at 12 wk of gestation and accounted for 55% of the lymph...
Epigenetic changes in response to external stimuli are fast emerging as common underlying causes for the pre-disposition to adult disease. Prenatal androgenization is one such model that results in reproductive and metabolic features that are present in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We examined the effect of prenatal androgens on liver function and metabolism of adult she...
Alcohol consumption has long been a global problem affecting human health, and has been found to influence both fetal and adult liver functions. However, how alcohol affects human liver development and liver progenitor cells remains largely unknown. Here, we used human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a model to examine the effects of alcohol, on multi-stage hepatic cells including hep...
Wnt/beta-catenin pathway plays an important role in regulating embryonic development. Hepatocytes differentiate from endoderm during development. Hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) have been isolated from fetal liver and extrahepatic tissues. Most current studies in liver development and hepatic differentiation have been focused on Wnts, beta-catenin, and their receptors. Here, we sought to determ...

BACKGROUND It is widely accepted that circadian physiological rhythms of the fetus are affected by oscillators in the maternal brain that are coupled to the environmental light-dark (LD) cycle. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To study the link between fetal and maternal biological clocks, we investigated the effects of cycles of maternal food availability on the rhythms of Per1 gene expression...
