Early Nutrition,Growth Parameters and DNA Methylation Differences of Preterm Monochorionic Diamniotic Twins Combined with Selective Intrauterine Growth Restriction
摘要
Abstract
[Objective]To investigate early nutrition and growth of preterm monochorionic diamniotic(MCDA)twins combined with selective intrauterine growth restriction(sIUGR)and explore the potential role of DNA methylation in regulating extrauterine growth.[Methods]Twenty-four pairs of preterm MCDA twins combined with sIUGR hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March 2019 to February 2022 were enrolled,divided into larger twins group(n=24)and smaller twins group(n=24)according to birth weight.The comparison of daily nutritional intakes,the incidence of neonatal complications and physical growth from birth to 24 months of corrected age between two groups was performed using t-test,analysis of ANOVA,Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.Differential DNA methylation analysis was performed using the methylation microarrays and differentially methylated site was validated using pyrosequencing method.[Results]There were no significant differences in the daily intake of carbohydrate,protein,fat and energy between two groups(all P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence of asphyxia,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,retinopathy of prematurity and necrotizing enterocolitis between two groups(all P＞0.05).Z-scores for weight,length and head circumference were significantly lower in the smaller twins group compared with the larger twins group from birth to 24 months of corrected age(all P=0.000).Difference in Z-scores for weight and length at term,6 months,12 months of corrected age did not differ significantly from that at birth(all P＞0.05)while difference in Z-scores for weight and length between the twins at 18 months and 24 months of corrected age were significantly lower than that at birth(P=0.009,P=0.032,P=0.026,P=0.004).Difference in Z-scores for head circumference at 6 months,12 months,18 months,24 months of corrected age were significantly lower than at birth(P=0.001,others P=0.000)except at term(P＞0.05).The differences in weight,length and head circumference between the twins at term,6 months,12 months,18 months and 24 months of corrected age significantly reduced(P=0.001,P=0.007,P=0.001,others P=0.000).Eighteen differentially methylated sites were identified and the methylation level of NFATC1 gene in the smaller twins group was significantly higher than that in the larger twins group(P=0.043).[Conclusion]MCDA twins combined with sIUGR shares similar early nutrition and neonatal complications,while smaller twins at 24 months of corrected age grow faster than larger twins,which might be related to a higher methylation level of NFATC1 gene in smaller twins.关键词
