Dataset of The distinct influence of different maternal mental health symptom profiles on infant sleep during the first year postpartum: a cross-sectional survey

<p>The distinct influence of different, but comorbid, maternal mental health difficulties, such as postpartum depression, anxiety, or childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) on infant sleep is unknown, although maternal mental health was reported to be associated with infant sleep. This paper first aimed to&nbsp;associations between maternal mental health symptoms and infant sleep. Second, it aimed to exploratory obtain maternal mental health&nbsp;symptom profiles from maternal mental health symptoms. Finally, it aimed to investigate the distinct influence of these maternal mental health symptom profiles on infant sleep, when including mediators (i.e., maternal perception of infant temperament and method to fall asleep)&nbsp;and moderators (maternal educational level and infant age).</p> <p>This dataset contains data on the mental health (i.e., CB-PTSD, depression, anxiety) of 410 mothers with an infant aged between 3 to 12 months old. Information on infant sleep and&nbsp;temperament (negative emotionality) was&nbsp;collected&nbsp;via standardised maternal-report&nbsp;questionnaires (City BiTS, EPDS, HADS, BISQ, and IBQ-R very short form). Sociodemographic data such as maternal age,&nbsp;marital status, educational level, infant age, and week of gestation are reported.</p> <p>This dataset is related to:&nbsp;Sandoz, V.; Lacroix, A.; Stuijfzand, S.; Bickle Graz, M.; Horsch, A.

Dataset of Measurement and conceptualization of maternal PTSD following childbirth: Psychometric properties of the City Birth Trauma Scale – French version (City BiTS-F)

<p>The City Birth Trauma Scale (City BiTS-F) was developed to assess posttraumatic stress disorder following childbirth (PTSD-FC), based on the PTSD criteria of the DSM-5. Recent studies investigating the latent factor structure of PTSD-FC symptoms in women reported mixed results. Given that no validated French questionnaire exists to measure PTSD-FC symptoms, this study first aimed to validate the French version of the CBTS (City BiTS-F). Second, it aims to establish the latent factor structure of PTSD-FC.</p> <p>This dataset contains data on the mental health (i.e., PTSD-CB, depression, anxiety) of 541 mothers who gave birth during the last 12 months.

Single-cell transcriptomic profiling unveils dysregulation of cardiac progenitor cells and cardiomyocytes in a mouse model of maternal hyperglycemia

<p>Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent structural malformations of the heart affecting &sim;1% of live births. To date, both damaging genetic variations and adverse environmental exposure such as maternal diabetes have been found to cause CHD. Clinical studies show &sim;fivefold higher risk of CHD in the offspring of mothers with pregestational diabetes. Maternal pregestational diabetes affects the gene regulatory networks key to proper cardiac development in the fetus. However, the cell-type specificity of these gene regulatory responses to maternal diabetes and their association with the observed cardiac defects in the fetuses remains unknown. To uncover the transcriptional responses to maternal diabetes in the early embryonic heart, we used an established murine model of pregestational diabetes. In this model, we have previously demonstrated an increased incidence of CHD. Here, we show maternal hyperglycemia (matHG) elicits diverse cellular responses during heart development by single-cell RNA-sequencing in embryonic hearts exposed to control and matHG environment. Through differential gene-expression and pseudotime trajectory analyses of this data, we identified changes in lineage specifying transcription factors, predominantly affecting Isl1+ second heart field progenitors and Tnnt2+cardiomyocytes with matHG. Using in vivo cell-lineage tracing studies, we confirmed that matHG exposure leads to impaired second heart field-derived cardiomyocyte differentiation. Finally, this work identifies matHG-mediated transcriptional determinants in cardiac cell lineages elevate CHD risk and show perturbations in Isl1-dependent gene-regulatory network (Isl1-GRN) affect cardiomyocyte differentiation. Functional analysis of this GRN in cardiac progenitor cells will provide further mechanistic insights into matHG-induced severity of CHD associated with diabetic pregnancies.</p>

Maternal and genetic correlations between morphology and physical performance traits in a small captive primate, Microcebus murinus

<p>Physical performance traits are key components of fitness and direct targets of selection. Maternal effects are important components of integrated phenotypes in a variety of species. Yet their contribution to variation in performance, and phenotypes closely associated with performance, remains poorly understood. We used an animal model approach to quantify the contribution of maternal effects to performance trait variation (in bite force and pull strength) and the relationships between performance and the relevant underlying morphology in <i>Microcebus murinus</i>. We show that bite force is heritable (h<sup>2</sup>~0.23), and that maternal effects are also important source of variation, resulting in a medium inclusive heritability (IH<sup>2</sup>~0.47). Grip strength presented a rather low and non-significant narrow-sense heritability suggesting a higher selective pressure on this trait. Genetic correlations between performance traits and their associated morphometric traits were significant and high (0.47 bite force-head width; 0.48 grip strength-radius length), as was the maternal correlation for bite force-head width (0.75). Further studies evaluating the heritability of performance for other taxa and the role of maternal effects are badly needed to better understand the drivers of variation in performance ultimately allowing for a better understanding of the importance of these types of traits in an evolutionary context.</p>

Disease Spread in Age Structured Populations with Maternal Age Effects

<p>Fundamental ecological processes, such as extrinsic mortality, determine population age structure. This influences disease spread when individuals of different ages differ in susceptibility or when maternal age determines offspring susceptibility. We show that Daphnia magna offspring born to young mothers are more susceptible than those born to older mothers, and consider this alongside previous observations that susceptibility declines with age in this system. We used a susceptible- infected compartmental model to investigate how age-specific susceptibility and maternal age effects on offspring susceptibility interact with demographic factors affecting disease spread. Our results show a scenario where an increase in extrinsic mortality drives an increase in transmission potential. Thus, we identify a realistic context in which age effects and maternal effects produce conditions favouring disease transmission. </p> <p>epi model R script.R</p> <p>This is the script for the SIR model as well as the associated script for life history data. </p> <p>main.body size.csv</p> <p>This is the data for the body size data collected in the main experiment.

Maternal effects on the advertisement signals and mate preferences of adult offspring in Enchenopa treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae)

<p>We tested for maternal effects on the mating signals and mate preferences of adult offspring in a plant-feeding insect that communicates via plant-borne vibrational signals. We experimentally manipulated an aspect of the social environment experienced by egg-laying mothers: aggregation density. We detected a strong maternal effect in a male signal trait, with sons of mothers that experienced low aggregation density signaling more. We also detected a weak maternal effect on female mate preferences, with daughters of mothers that experienced low aggregation density being less selective. We discuss the evolutionary consequences of these maternal effects in terms of the signal-preference relationship; the maintenance of variation under selection; whether they may be beneficial for offspring; and potential mechanisms that may be involved in their expression.</p>

The reproductive microbiome and maternal transmission via eggs in Sceloporus virgatus

<p>Maternal transmission of microbes occurs across the animal kingdom and is vital for the  development and long-term health of offspring. The mechanisms of this transfer are most well studied in humans and other mammals, but are less well understood in egg-laying animals, especially in those with no parental care. Here we investigate the transfer of maternal microbes in <em>Sceloporus virgatus</em>, an oviparous spiny lizard. We compared three maternal tissue microbiomes – oviduct, cloaca, and intestine – to three offspring sample types: egg contents and eggshells on the day of oviposition, and hatchling intestinal tissue on the day of hatching. We found that dam ID is an important factor in hatchling microbiome composition, indicating that maternal transmission is occurring. The maternal cloacal and oviductal communities contribute to offspring microbiomes in all three sample types, but there was minimal influence of maternal intestinal microbes. This indicates that the maternal reproductive microbiome is more important for microbial inheritance than the gut microbiome, and that the tissue-level variation of the adult <em>S. virgatus</em> microbiome must develop as the hatchling matures. Despite differences between adult and hatchling communities, the offspring microbiome was still dominated by Enterobacteriaceae and Yersiniaceae, consistent with past studies of adult <em>S. virgatus</em> microbiomes.</p>

Data from: Offspring behavioral outcomes following maternal allergic asthma in the IL-4-deficient mouse

<p>Background: Maternal allergies and asthma during pregnancy have been associated with increased risk of ASD and ADHD to the child. Previous rodent studies have demonstrated that inducing a T helper-2 (Th2)-mediated allergic response during pregnancy leads to an offspring behavioral phenotype characterized by decreased social interaction and increased stereotypies. Interleukin-4 is a key signal in the Th2 immune cascade, but its role in fetal brain development and subsequent impacts of maternal allergic asthma (MAA) on offspring behavioral deficits have yet to be determined.</p> <p>Objective: In this study, we investigated whether the absence of IL-4 signaling would mitigate MAA-induced behavioral changes.</p> <p>Methods: C57BL/6J and Interleukin-4 knockout (IL-4 KO) mice were sensitized to ovalbumin and exposed to repeated allergic asthma aerosol inductions throughout pregnancy. Offspring were assessed on Juvenile Reciprocal Social Interaction, Elevated Plus Maze, Open Field Exploration, Novel Object Recognition, Forced Swim, Marble-burying, and Grooming tasks.</p> <p>Results: MAA during pregnancy resulted in decreased social interactions in male C57 offspring and impaired memory performance in both male and female C57 mice. These deficits were not observed in IL-4 KO mice exposed to MAA. However, we observed genotype effects in IL-4 KO mice including altered motor performance and anxiety-associated responses.</p> <p>Conclusion: MAA-induced social and cognitive behavioral alterations are IL-4 dependent. IL-4KO offspring display genotype-specific differences suggesting IL-4 signaling is important for typical developmental processes.</p>

Data and code for: Viviparous mothers impose stronger glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal stress effects on their offspring than oviparous mothers

<p><strong>Data and code accompanying the manuscript &quot;Viviparous mothers impose stronger glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal stress effects on their offspring than oviparous mothers&quot;, MacLeod KJ, While GM, Uller, T,&nbsp;Ecology &amp; Evolution 2021.</strong></p> <p>Code is in an R file - can be opened with any txt app.</p> <p>Metadata is in sheet 2 of the main data sheet (xlsx).</p> <p>Queries to kirstyjmacleod@gmail.com</p> <p><strong>Publication abstract</strong>:&nbsp;Maternal stress during gestation has the potential to affect offspring development via changes in maternal physiology, such as increases in circulating levels of glucocorticoid hormones that are typical after exposure to a stressor. While the effects of elevated maternal glucocorticoids on offspring phenotype (i.e., &ldquo;glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal effects&rdquo;) have been relatively well established in laboratory studies, it remains poorly understood how strong and consistent such effects are in natural populations. Using a meta‐analysis of studies of wild mammals, birds, and reptiles, we investigate the evidence for effects of elevated maternal glucocorticoids on offspring phenotype and investigate key moderators that might influence the strength and direction of these effects. In particular, we investigate the potential importance of reproductive mode (viviparity vs. oviparity). We show that glucocorticoid‐mediated maternal effects are stronger, and likely more deleterious, in mammals and viviparous squamate reptiles compared with birds, turtles, and oviparous squamates. No other moderators (timing and type of manipulation, age at offspring measurement, or type of trait measured) were significant predictors of the strength or direction of the phenotypic effects on offspring. These results provide evidence that the evolution of a prolonged physiological association between embryo and mother sets the stage for maladaptive, or adaptive, prenatal stress effects in vertebrates driven by glucocorticoid elevation.</p>

Incorporating effects of age on energy dynamics predicts non-linear maternal allocation patterns in iteroparous animals

<p>Iteroparous parents face a trade-off between allocating current resources to reproduction versus maximizing survival to produce further offspring. Optimal allocation varies across age, and follows a hump-shaped pattern across diverse taxa, including mammals, birds and invertebrates. This non-linear allocation pattern lacks a general theoretical explanation, potentially because most studies focus on offspring number rather than quality and do not incorporate uncertainty or age-dependence in energy intake or costs. Here, we develop a life history model of maternal allocation in iteroparous animals. We identify the optimal allocation strategy in response to stochasticity when energetic costs, feeding success, energy intake, and environmentally-driven mortality risk are age-dependent. As a case study, we use tsetse, a viviparous insect that produces one offspring per reproductive attempt and relies on an uncertain food supply of vertebrate blood. Diverse scenarios generate a hump-shaped allocation: when energetic costs and energy intake increase with age; and also when energy intake decreases, and energetic costs increase or decrease. Feeding success and mortality risk have little influence on age-dependence in allocation. We conclude that ubiquitous evidence for age-dependence in these influential traits can explain the prevalence of non-linear maternal allocation across diverse taxonomic groups.</p>
