PG - 23-28 LID - S2210-7789(17)30147-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.preghy.2018.02.004 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Individuals (PE-F1s) born from preeclampsia (PE)-complicated pregnancies have elevated risks for cognitive impairment. Intervals of disturbed maternal plasma angiokines precede clinical signs of PE. We hypothesized pan-blastocyst dysregulation of angiokines underlies altered PE-F1 brain vascular and neurological development. This could alter brain functional connectivity (FC) patterns at rest. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Resting-state functional MRI datasets of ten, matched child pairs (5 boys and 5 girls aged 7-10 years of age) from PE or control pregnancies were available for study. Seed-based analysis and independent component analysis (ICA) methodologies were used to assess whether differences in resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) were present between PE-F1s and controls. Bilateral amygdala, bilateral hippocampus, and medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) were selected as regions of interest (ROI) for the seed-based analysis based on previous imaging differences that we reported in this set of children. RESULTS: Compared to controls, PE-F1 children had increased rs-FC between the right amygdala and left frontal pole, the left amygdala and bilateral frontal pole, and the MPFC and precuneus. PE-F1 children additionally had decreased rs-FC between the MPFC and the left occipital fusiform gyrus compared to controls. CONCLUSION: These are the first reported rs-FC data for PE-F1s of any age. Theysuggest that PE alters FC during human fetal brain development. Altered FC may contribute to the behavioural and neurological alterations reported in PE-F1s. Longitudinal MRI studies with larger sample sizes are required to confirm these novel findings. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy.
