Previously, we found the induction of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) dependent on the expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) in mice treated with SHS. Furthermore, antenatal SHS exposure increases RAGE expression in the fetal lung. Our objective was to determine the postnatal effects of antenatal SHS treatment in 4- and 12-week-old offspring. Pregnant animals were treated with SHS via a nose-only delivery system (Scireq Scientific, Montreal, Canada) for 4 days (embryonic day 14.5 through 18.5), and offspring were evaluated at 4 or 12 weeks of age. Animal and organ weights were measured, and lungs were histologically characterized. Blood pressure and heart rates were obtained, and RAGE protein expression was determined in the lungs of control and treated animals. We observed the following: (1) significant decreases in animal, liver, and heart weights at 4 weeks of age; (2) increased blood pressure in 4-week-old animals; and (3) increased RAGE expression in the lungs of the 4-week-old animals. Our results suggest an improvement in these metrics by 12 weeks postnatally such that measures were not different regardless of RA or SHS exposure. Increased RAGE expression in lungs from 4-week-old mice antenatally treated with SHS suggests a possible role for this important smoke-mediated receptor in establishing adult disease following IUGR pregnancies.","PeriodicalId":516007,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive Medicine","volume":"61 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140485637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
