Maternally derived pancreatic extracellular vesicle miR-375 contributes to large-for-gestational-age infants in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes

Quilang Rachel , Byford Abigail , Scott Eleanor M , Forbes Karen

Pregnancies affected by GDM commonly result in large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants, which have an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic complications. The mechanisms responsible are unclear but are associated with altered placental physiology. We have previously reported that miRNAs, including pancreatic specific miR-375, are altered in maternal serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) prior to the onset of LGA, and in term placenta. We assessed maternal pancreatic-derive...
