In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most effective and successful assisted reproductive technologies. It is widely used to treat human infertility, and is also used for animal breeding and propagation. While IVF is generally considered a safe and successful technology, there are several IVF-associated safety concerns, such as pregnancy loss, preterm birth, lower birthweight and birth defects, and higher risk of age-related disorders, such as heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension (Bergh et al., 1999; Racowsky, 2002; Schieve et al., 2002; Klemetti et al., 2006; Ceelen et al., 2008; Reefhuis et al., 2009; Wen et al., 2012; Hansen et al., 2013; Servick, 2014).A number of fetal studies have indicated that the IVF process may disrupt a series of biological processes, including genetic information processing (Giritharan et al., 2007; Fernandez-Gonzalez et al., 2009; Driver et al., 2012), epigenetic modifications (Deshmukh et al., 2011; Oliver et al., 2012), amino acid and energy metabolism (Nie et al., 2013; Ren et al., 2015), and cytoskeleton organization (Tan et al., 2015). In addition, placental studies may be informative for a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms in IVF-induced embryonic or offspring complications, as the placenta is known to play an important role in fetal development. The placenta provides the maternal-fetal interface and is essential for the exchange of gases, nutrients and waste products to support the developing fetus. It is also an important source of pregnancy-associated hormones and growth factors, and is involved in fetal immune tolerance (Rossant and Cross, 2001). Defective placentation and subsequent placental insufficiency can lead to maternal and fetal adverse pregnancy outcomes, and may also be associated with post-natal disease risks (Barker et al., 1990; Seckl and Holmes, 2007). Recent studies have indicated that IVF can alter placental development, affecting structure, size and transplacental nutrient transport ability (Delle Piane et al., 2010; Bloise et al., 2012; Haavaldsen et al., 2012; Tan et al., 2016). In addition, highthroughput gene expression and proteomic profiling studies can be useful for understanding the placental mechanisms implicated in IVF-associated complications (Fauque et al., 2010a; Sui et al., 2014). In human and mouse during post-implantation embryonic development, embryonic and extraembryonic tissues undergo de novo DNA methylation, thereby establishing a global DNA methylation pattern, and influencing gene expression profiles (Reik et al., 2001), and several recent investigations have associated modified DNA methylation with altered expression of specific genes during placentation (Nelissen et al., 2013; de Waal et al., 2014; Sakian et al., 2015). In addition, de Waal et al. assessed placental morphology and methylation patterns of imprinting control regions of select imprinted genes, as well as global DNA methylation levels in E18. 5 mouse concepti generated by IVF (de Waal et al.,
