Children born to obese mothers have a greater risk of developing asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness. This study used a mouse model to show that offspring of dams fed a high-fat diet develop metabolic abnormalities and increased bronchoconstriction. The researchers also found that maternal high-fat diet increases airway sensory innervation in offspring, leading to reflex airway hyperresponsiveness.
Children born to obese mothers are prone to develop asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness, but the mechanisms behind this are unclear. Here we developed a mouse model of maternal diet-induced obesity that recapitulates metabolic abnormalities seen in humans born to obese mothers. Offspring of dams fed a high-fat diet (HFD) showed increased adiposity, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance at 16 wk of age despite being fed only a regular diet (RD). Bronchoconstriction induced by inhaled 5-hydroxytriptamine was also significantly increased in offspring of HFD-fed versus RD-fed dams. Increased bronchoconstriction was blocked by vagotomy, indicating this reflex was mediated by airway nerves. Three dimensional (3-D) confocal imaging of tracheas collected from 16-wk-old offspring showed that both epithelial sensory innervation and substance P expression were increased in the offspring of HFD-fed dams compared with offspring of RD-fed dams. For the first time, we show that maternal high-fat diet increases airway sensory innervation in offspring, leading to reflex airway hyperresponsiveness.
