    Abstract Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of infant and maternal mortality worldwide. Many infants born from preeclamptic pregnancies are born prematurely with higher risk of developing cardiovascular later in their life. A key mechanism by which these complications occur is through stress-induced dysfunction of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), including endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs). To gain insight into this, cord blood derived ECFCs isolated from preeclamptic pregnancies (PRECs) were analyzed and compared to their healthy counterparts. While PRECs preserve key endothelial markers, they upregulate several markers associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Compared to ECFCs, PRECs also exhibit lower migratory behaviors and impaired angiogenic potential. Interestingly, treatment of neuropilin-1 can improve tube formation

    Abstract Background: Offspring born to mothers with pre-eclampsia (Pre-E) suffer higher risks of adult cardiovascular diseases, suggesting that exposure to an antiangiogenic environment in-utero has a lasting impact on the development of endothelial function. The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that in-utero exposure to Pre-E results in alterations of angiogenic factors/cytokines that negatively impact vascular development during infancy.
    Methods: Infants born from mothers with and without Pre-E were recruited and followed up at 6 months. Plasma cytokines, blood pressure, microvessel density, and vascular reactivity were assessed.
    Results: 6-month-old infants born to mothers with Pre-E had unchanged blood pressure (p = 0.86) and microvessel density (p = 0.57). Vascular reactivity was decreased in infants born to mothers with Pre-E compared to infants born to healthy mothers (p = 0.0345). Interleukin 8 (IL-8) (p = 0.03) and Angiopoeitin-2 (Ang-2) (p = 0.04) were increased in infants born to mothers with Pre-E. We observed that higher IL-8 was associated with lower vascular reactivity (rho = -0.14, p < 0.0001).
    Conclusion: At 6 months of age, infants born to mothers with Pre-E had impaired vascular reactivity and higher IL-8 and Ang-2, but similar blood pressure and microvessel density compared to infants born to non-Pre-E mothers.
    Impact statement: Changes in cord blood antiangiogenic factors are documented in infants of mothers with pre-eclampsia and may contribute to offspring risks of adult cardiovascular disease. How these factors evolve during early infancy and their correlation with offspring vascular development have not been studied. This study found that 6-month-old infants born to mothers with pre-eclampsia had decreased vascular reactivity, which was correlated with higher IL-8. These findings underscore the lasting impact of maternal pre-eclampsia on offspring vascular development and highlight the need for long-term follow-up in children born to mothers with pre-eclampsia.

    Abstract Rationale: Animal models suggest pre-eclampsia (Pre-E) affects alveolar development, but data from humans are lacking.
    Objective: Assess the impact of Pre-E on airway function, diffusion capacity, and respiratory morbidity in preterm and term infants born from mothers with Pre-E.
    Methods: Infants born from mothers with and without Pre-E were recruited for this study; term and preterm infants were included in both cohorts. Respiratory morbidity in the first 12 months of life was assessed through monthly phone surveys. Raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression and measurement of diffusion capacity of the lung to carbon monoxide (DLCO) were performed at 6 months corrected age.
    Measurements and main results: There were 146 infants in the Pre-E cohort and 143 in the control cohort. The Pre-E cohort was further divided into nonsevere (N = 41) and severe (N = 105) groups. There was no significant difference in DLCO and DLCO/alveolar volume among the three groups. Forced vital capacity was similar among the three groups, but the nonsevere Pre-E group had significantly higher forced expiratory flows than the other two groups. After adjusting for multiple covariates including prematurity, the severe Pre-E group had a lower risk for wheezing in the first year of life compared to the other two groups.
    Conclusions: Pre-E is not associated with reduced DLCO, lower forced expiratory flows, or increased wheezing in the first year of life. These results differ from animal models and highlight the complex relationships between Pre-E and lung function and respiratory morbidity in human infants.

    Abstract Fetal exposure to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) predisposes children to future health complications including type-2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. A key mechanism by which these complications occur is through stress-induced dysfunction of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), including endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs). Although several approaches have been previously explored to restore endothelial function, their widespread adoption remains tampered by systemic side effects of adjuvant drugs and unintended immune response of gene therapies. Here, we report a strategy to rejuvenate circulating vascular progenitor cells by conjugation of drug-loaded liposomal nanoparticles directly to the surface of GDM-exposed ECFCs (GDM-ECFCs). Bioactive nanoparticles can be robustly conjugated to the surface of ECFCs without altering cell viability and key progenitor phenotypes. Moreover, controlled delivery of therapeutic drugs to GDM-ECFCs is able to normalize transgelin (TAGLN) expression and improve cell migration, which is a critical key step in establishing functional vascular networks. More importantly, sustained pseudo-autocrine stimulation with bioactive nanoparticles is able to improve in vitro and in vivo vasculogenesis of GDM-ECFCs. Collectively, these findings highlight a simple, yet promising strategy to rejuvenate GDM-ECFCs and improve their therapeutic potential. Promising results from this study warrant future investigations on the prospect of the proposed strategy to improve dysfunctional vascular progenitor cells in the context of other chronic diseases, which has broad implications for addressing various cardiovascular complications, as well as advancing tissue repair and regenerative medicine.

    Abstract The field of stem and progenitor cell biology is expanding. Much of the enthusiasm is based on the potential of using stem and progenitor cells as a cellular therapy for the treatment of human disease. Although the concept of using human embryonic stem cells for therapeutic indications is intriguing, significant challenges face investigators pursuing research in this area. Therefore, renewed scientific energy is focusing on the molecular pathways that differentiate a pluripotent embryonic stem cell from more-committed tissue-specific cells. Molecular mechanisms that govern tissue-specific stem and progenitor cell function are also topics of intense investigation, given that altered function of these cells may promote a variety of human pathologies including aging, vascular disease, and cancer. Considerable progress has been made, but a clear identification of the molecular signatures of stem and progenitor cells remains elusive. A growing body of literature demonstrates that distinct functional characteristics of stem and progenitor cells are under redox regulation. In this Forum Issue, evidence for redox regulation of tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells involved in hematopoiesis and vasculogenesis/angiogenesis is presented.

    Abstract Vasculogenesis is a complex process by which endothelial stem and progenitor cells undergo de novo vessel formation. Quantitative assessment of vasculogenesis has become a central readout of endothelial progenitor cell functionality, and therefore, several attempts have been made to improve both in vitro and in vivo vasculogenesis models. However, standard methods are limited in scope, with static measurements failing to capture many aspects of this highly dynamic process. Therefore, the goal of developing this novel protocol was to assess the kinetics of in vitro vasculogenesis in order to quantitate rates of network formation and stabilization, as well as provide insight into potential mechanisms underlying vascular dysfunction. Application of this protocol is demonstrated using fetal endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) exposed to maternal diabetes mellitus. Fetal ECFCs were derived from umbilical cord blood following birth, cultured, and plated in slides containing basement membrane matrix, where they underwent vasculogenesis. Images of the entire slide wells were acquired using time-lapse phase contrast microscopy over 15 hours. Images were analyzed for derivation of quantitative data using an analysis software called Kinetic Analysis of Vasculogenesis (KAV). KAV uses image segmentation followed by skeletonization to analyze network components from stacks of multi-time point phase contrast images to derive ten parameters (9 measured, 1 calculated) of network structure including: closed networks, network areas, nodes, branches, total branch length, average branch length, triple-branched nodes, quad-branched nodes, network structures, and the branch to node ratio. Application of this protocol identified altered rates of vasculogenesis in ECFCs obtained from pregnancies complicated by diabetes mellitus. However, this technique has broad implications beyond the scope reported here. Implementation of this approach will enhance mechanistic assessment and improve functional readouts of vasculogenesis and other biologically important branching processes in numerous cell types or disease states.

    Abstract Background: Antenatal corticosteroids improve neonatal outcomes when administered to infants who are at risk of preterm delivery. Many women who receive antenatal corticosteroids for threatened preterm labor proceed to deliver at term. Thus, long-term outcomes should be evaluated for term-born infants who were exposed to antenatal corticosteroids in utero.
    Objective: This study aimed to compare long-term outcomes between term-born children aged ≥5 years who were born to women who received antenatal corticosteroids for threatened preterm labor and children whose mothers were also evaluated for threatened preterm labor but did not receive antenatal corticosteroids.
    Study design: We performed a retrospective cohort study of children born at ≥37 weeks' gestation, aged ≥5 years, and born to mothers diagnosed with threatened preterm labor during pregnancy. The primary exposure of interest was receiving antenatal corticosteroids. Among the collected childhood medical conditions, the primary outcome of interest was a diagnosis of asthma.
    Results: Of the 3556 term-born children aged ≥5 years, 629 (17.6%) were exposed to antenatal corticosteroids (all betamethasone), and 2927 (82.3%) were controls whose mothers were evaluated for threatened preterm birth but did not get antenatal corticosteroid injections. Women receiving antenatal corticosteroids had higher rates of maternal comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, hypertension; P≤.01). Antenatal corticosteroid-exposed children had no difference in diagnosis of asthma (12.6% vs 11.6%), attention deficit disorder, or developmental delay (P=.47, .54, and .10, respectively). Controlling for maternal and neonatal characteristics, asthma was not different between those exposed to antenatal corticosteroids and controls (odds ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 0.79-1.39). The odds of the child's weight percentile being <10% were increased for antenatal corticosteroid-exposed children born at term (odds ratio, 2.00; 95% confidence interval, 1.22-3.25).
    Conclusion: Children born at term who were exposed to antenatal corticosteroids may have increased odds of being in a lower growth percentile than those not exposed. However, rates of diagnoses such as asthma, developmental delay, and attention deficit disorders were not different.
