PG - 5520-5529 LID - 10.1096/fj.201700047RR [doi] AB - Accurate analysis of placental and fetal oxygenation is critical during pregnancy. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) combines laser technology with ultrasound in real time. We tested the sensitivity and accuracy of PAI for analysis of placental and fetal oxygen saturation (sO(2)) in mice. The placental labyrinth (L) had a higher sO(2) than the junctional zone plus decidua region (JZ+D) in C57Bl/6 mice. Changing maternal O(2) from 100 to 20% in C57Bl/6 mice lowered sO(2) in these regions. C57Bl/6 mice were treated with the NO synthase inhibitor L-N(G)-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME) from gestational day (GD) 11 to GD18 to induce hypertension. L-NAME decreased sO(2) in L and JZ+D at GD14 and GD18 in association with fetal growth restriction and higher blood pressure. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha immunostaining was higher in L-NAME vs control mice at GD14. Fetal sO(2) levels were similar between l-NAME and control mice at GD14 and GD18. In contrast to untreated C57Bl/6, L-NAME decreased placental sO(2) at GD14 and GD18 vs GD10 or GD12. Placental sO(2) was lower in fetal growth restriction in an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 knockout mouse model characterized by placental hypoxia. On phantom studies, patterns of sO(2) measured directly correlated with those measured by PAI. In summary, PAI enables the detection of placental and fetal oxygenation during normal and pathologic pregnancies in mice.-Yamaleyeva, L. M., Sun, Y., Bledsoe, T., Hoke, A., Gurley, S.
