Ramadoss J, Magness RR. Multiplexed digital quantification of binge-like alcohol-mediated alterations in maternal uterine angiogenic mrna transcriptome. Physiol Genomics 44: 622-628, 2012. First published April 24, 2012; doi:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00009.2012.-Genomic studies on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) have utilized either genome-wide microarrays/bioinformatics or targeted real-time PCR (RT-PCR). We utilized herein for the first time a novel digital approach with high throughput as well as the capability to focus on one physiological system. The aim of the present study was to investigate alcohol-induced alterations in uterine angiogenesis-related mRNA abundance using digital mRNA technology. Four biological and three technical replicates of uterine arterial endothelial cells from third-trimester ewes were fluorescence-activated cell sorted, validated, and treated without or with binge-like alcohol. A capture probe covalently bound to an oligonucleotide containing biotin and a color-coded reporter probe were designed for 85 angio-genesis-related genes and analyzed with the Nanostring nCounter system. Twenty genes were downregulated (down arrow) and two upregulated (up arrow), including angiogenic growth factors/receptors (down arrow placental growth factor), adhesion molecules (up arrow angiopoietin-like-3; down arrow collagen-18A1; down arrow endoglin), proteases/matrix proteins/inhibitors (down arrow alanyl aminopeptidase; down arrow collagen-4A3; down arrow heparanase; down arrow plasminogen, up arrow plasminogen activator urokinase; down arrow platelet factor-4; down arrow plexin domain containing-1; down arrow tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3), transcription/signaling molecules (down arrow heart and neural crest derivatives-2; down arrow DNA-binding protein inhibitor; down arrow NOTCH-4; down arrow ribosomal protein-L13a1; down arrow ribosomal protein large-P1), cytokines/chemokines (down arrow interleukin-1B), and miscellaneous growth factors (down arrow leptin; down arrow platelet-derived growth factor-alpha); down arrow transforming growth factor (TGF-alpha; up arrow TGF-beta receptor-1). These novel data show significant detrimental alcohol effects on genes controlling angiogenesis supporting a mechanistic role for abnormal uteroplacental vascular development in FASD. The tripartite digital gene expression system is therefore a valuable tool to answer many additional questions about FASD from both mechanistic as well as ameliorative perspectives.
