Human placental metabolic adaptation to chronic hypoxia, high altitude: hypoxic preconditioning
Open accessAbstract
We have previously demonstrated placentas from laboring deliveries at high altitude have lower binding of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF) to DNA than those from low altitude. It has recently been reported that labor causes oxidative stress in placentas, likely due to ischemic hypoxic insult. We hypothesized that placentas of high-altitude residents acquired resistance, in the course of their development, to oxidative stress during labor. Full-thickness placental tissue biopsies were collected from laboring vaginal and nonlaboring cesarean-section term (37–41 wk) deliveries from healthy pregnancies at sea level and at 3,100 m. After freezing in liquid nitrogen within 5 min of delivery, we quantified hydrophilic and lipid metabolites using 31 P and 1 H NMR metabolomics. Metabolic markers of oxidative stress, increased glycolysis, and free amino acids were present in placentas following labor at sea level, but not at 3,100 m. In contrast, at 3,100 m, the placentas were characterized by the presence of concentrations of stored energy potential (phosphocreatine), antioxidants, and low free amino acid concentrations. Placentas from pregnancies at sea level subjected to labor display evidence of oxidative stress. However, laboring placentas at 3,100 m have little or no oxidative stress at the time of delivery, suggesting greater resistance to ischemia-reperfusion. We postulate that hypoxic preconditioning might occur in placentas that develop at high altitude.

In the citing paper
“Erythropoietin, in particular, is synthesized at rates far higher than the fetal kidney, and may mediate both classical hematopoietic responses to hypoxia and non-classical changes, including increased placental vascularity and defense against oxidative stress (534).”

In the citing paper
“There is an increase in the fetal arterial concentration of lactate in these fetuses, but little is known about their rate of lactate consumption or about the rates of placental production and delivery of lactate at high altitude (534, 605).”
From Placental Origins of Chronic Disease (2016) · cites this paper as [534]
In the citing paper
“In the human placenta, concentrations of several key essential amino acids were unaffected by altitude, with the exception of glutamine and the antioxidant, taurine, which were higher in concentration at high altitude than sea level (534).”
From Placental Origins of Chronic Disease (2016) · cites this paper as [534]
In the citing paper
“Consistent with this action, the complexes are reduced in these high-altitude placentas (121), as is the ATP/ADP ratio (534), suggesting energetic compromise that could adversely affect transport and synthetic activities of the organ.”

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.
