High-resolution metabolomics of exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes in the Atlanta African American maternal-child cohort

Youran Tan et al.

Summary: Through an untargeted metabolome-wide association study, the metabolic perturbations and molecular mechanisms underlying the association between tobacco smoke exposure and adverse birth outcomes were identified in pregnant women, particularly focusing on 12 metabolic pathways associated with cotinine levels and adverse birth outcomes during both early and late pregnancy.

Extracellular Matrix Rigidity Modulates Human Cervical Smooth Muscle Contractility-New Insights into Premature Cervical Failure and Spontaneous Preterm Birth

Joy Vink et al.

Summary: This study first reported the presence of a high number of cervical smooth muscle cells in the non-pregnant human cervix, resembling a sphincter. The research found that premature cervical dilation may be due to decreased contractility of cervical smooth muscle cells caused by soft cervical extracellular matrix.

Connexin Gap Junctions and Hemichannels Link Oxidative Stress to Skeletal Physiology and Pathology

Rui Hua et al.

Summary: Oxidative stress plays a significant role in affecting the function of connexin channels and bone loss, with increased opening of connexin hemichannels under oxidative stress conditions providing cell protection. Additionally, oxidative stress decreases osteocyte viability and impairs communication among osteocytes.

The maternal serum metabolome by multisegment injection-capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry: a high-throughput platform and standardized data workflow for large-scale epidemiological studies

Meera Shanmuganathan et al.

Summary: This study outlines a standardized protocol and data workflow for high-throughput analysis of the maternal serum metabolome, which is applied to a multi-ethnic cohort of pregnant women. The method uses multisegment injection-capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry with stringent quality control measures to detect and quantify multiple metabolites in serum with high accuracy and efficiency. By implementing this validated protocol, the study achieves robust batch correction for long-term signal drift and establishes reference intervals for serum metabolites in a diverse population of pregnant women in their second trimester.

Molecular Mechanism of Microbiota Metabolites in Preterm Birth: Pathological and Therapeutic Insights

AbuZar Ansari et al.

Summary: Preterm birth is a challenging global issue mediated by complex molecular mechanisms. Dysbiosis of the microbiota can disrupt the metabolic and physiological processes in pregnancy, leading to preterm birth. Metabolic dysregulation may contribute to preterm birth progression by stimulating the release of inflammatory cytokines.

Identification of Indicators for Preterm Birth Using Retinoid Metabolites

Young-Ah You et al.

Summary: This study suggests that retinoid metabolism plays a crucial role in predicting preterm birth and maintaining pregnancy. Changes in plasma metabolites related to retinol metabolism can serve as potential biomarkers for preterm birth risk assessment.
