    Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke leads to increased mitochondrial DNA content in umbilical cord serum associated to reduced gestational age

    <p>We investigated if prenatal exposures to tobacco smoke lead to changes in mitochondrial DNA content (mtDNA) in cord serum and adversely affect newborns’ health. Umbilical cord serum cotinine levels were used to determine in utero exposure to smoking. Cord serum mtDNA was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of the genes coding for cytochrome c oxidase1 (<i>MT</i>-<i>CO1</i>) and cytochrome c oxidase2 (<i>MT</i>-<i>CO2</i>). Log transformed levels of mtDNA coding for <i>MT</i>-<i>CO1</i> and <i>MT</i>-<i>CO2</i> were significantly higher among infants of active smokers with higher serum level of cotinine (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and inversely associated with gestational age (<i>p</i> = 0.08; <i>p</i> = 0.02). Structural equation modeling results confirmed a positive association between cotinine and <i>MT</i>-<i>CO1</i> and2 (<i>p</i> < 0.01) and inverse associations with gestational age (<i>p</i> = 0.02) and <i>IGF</i>-<i>1</i> (<i>p</i> < 0.01). We identified a dose-dependent increase in the level of <i>MT</i>-<i>CO1</i> and <i>MT</i>-<i>CO2</i> associated to increased cord serum cotinine and decreased gestational age.</p

    Supplementary information from A Panel of Novel Detection and Prognostic Methylated DNA Markers in Primary Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer and Serum DNA

    Supplementary information includes Supplementary Figure S1-S6 and Supplementary Materials and Methods.Figure S1 shows DMR scatterplots and bisulfite sequencing chromatrograms of 6 genes (CDO1, HOXA9, AJAP1, PTGDR, UNCX, and MARCH11). Figure S2 shows the correlation between methylation and the expression status of CDO1, PTGDR, AJAP1, and HOXA9 in the LUAD TCGA dataset. Figure S3 shows the Kaplan-Meier curves of overall survival according to the methylation status (positive or negative for hypermethylation) of tested genes in early stage disease (n=53). Figure S4 shows the methylation status of the 6 genes in serum samples from 43 stage IA LUAD, 40 stage IA LUSC, and 42 population-matched control subjects. Figure S5 shows promoter methylation levels for the 6 markers in pleural effusion and asities. Figure S6 shows the clinical significance of HOX paralogue group 9 genes (HOXA9, HOXB9, HOXC9, and HOXD9) in the TCGA dataset.</p
