Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although undernutrition during gestation is harmful for fetuses, calorie restriction is a strategy proven to extend healthy and maximum life span after birth. By focusing our attention on genes whose expression oppositely regulated between under- or high-nutrition during neonatal period, we selected candidate genes responsible for DOHaD. The results of microarray in C57BL mouse pup’s liver exposed to neonatal under- (50% food restriction) and high-nutrition (60% high fat food) demonstrated that innate immune system (Fos、Il1b、Rgs1、Ppp1r3g、Hamp、Igll1) was activated shortly after exposure. At weaning, expression of Aldhla 7 was decreased resulting of low resolution of acetaldehyde regardless of the nutritional conditions. By histopathological examination, abnormal development of immune tissues such as thymus and spleen was detected.
