Abstract

Objective Changes in metabolic homeostasis in pregnant diabetic women are potential determinants of increased adiposity of the fetus. The aim of this study was to characterize diabetes mellitus-induced changes in genes for fetoplacental energy metabolism in relation to fetal adiposity. Study design Placentas of women with type 1 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), or no complications were analyzed by microarray profiling. The pattern of gene expression was assessed in primary placental cell cultures. Results Diabetes mellitus was associated with 49 alterations in gene expression at key steps in placental energy metabolism, with 67% of the alterations related to lipid pathways and 9% of the alterations related to glucose pathways. Preferential activation of lipid genes was observed in pregnancy with GDM. Type 1 diabetes mellitus induced fewer lipid modifications but an enhancement of glycosylation and acylation pathways. Oleate enhanced expression of genes for fatty acid esterification and the formation of lipid droplets 3 times as much as glucose in cultured placental cells. Conclusion These results point to fatty acids as preferential lipogenic substrates for placental cells and suggest that genes for fetoplacental lipid metabolism are enhanced selectively in GDM. The recruited genes may be instrumental in increasing transplacental lipid fluxes and the delivery of lipid substrates for fetal use.

  • The majority of placental gene expression alterations in GDM occur in lipid pathways (67%), as compared with glucose pathways (9%).

    “The majority of placental gene expression alterations in GDM occur in lipid pathways (67%), as compared with glucose pathways (9%) [152].”

    From The Pathophysiology of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (2018) · cites this paper as [152]

    The Results section, under “Clusters for metabolic genes in placenta of gestational and type 1 diabetes,” reports that 67% of the altered genes were implicated in lipid pathways and 9% in glucose metabolism. Those percentages describe genes modified across GDM and type 1 diabetes, not GDM alone, although the paper reports preferential activation of lipid genes in GDM. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Preferential activation of placental lipid genes is associated with GDM compared with T1DM.

    “Preferential activation of placental lipid genes is also associated with GDM compared with T1DM [152].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
