Epigenetics and maternal nutrition: nature v. nurture

Abstract: Under- and over-nutrition during pregnancy has been linked to the later development of diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Epigenetic modifications may be one mechanism by which exposure to an altered intrauterine milieu or metabolic perturbation may influence the phenotype of the organism much later in life. Epigenetic modifications of the genome provide a mechanism that allows the stable propagation of gene expression from one generation of cells to the next. This review highlights our current knowledge o… Show more

“…Физиологическое течение гестации не сопро-вождается иммуносупрессией -не снижается ак-тивность иммунной системы беременной, а проти-вомикробная резистентность в системе мать-пла-цента-плод даже усиливается [30], что логично с позиций эволюционного отбора.…”

“…К группе эмбриоцидных материнских аутоанти-тел следует отнести антитела к хорионическому го-надотропину, анти-ДНК, SS-A и SS-B антитела, ха-рактерные для ряда системных аутоиммунных забо-леваний [30], аномальное повышение синтеза кото-рых может наблюдаться в определенных условиях.…”

“…Therefore, it has been argued that heritable maintenance in the brain may be less of an issue than replicationindependent methylation change and chromatin remodelling (22) . Many environmental factors, including nutrition, physiological and psychological stress, chemicals and infections, exert powerful influences on the epigenetic regulation of gene expression (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) . This, together with the realisation that epigenetic marks can be transmitted between generations, suggests that the boundary between environmental and heritable risks for disease is less distinct than recognised previously (29) .…”
