Abstract
Background: Gestational vitamin D deficiency is implicated in development of respiratory diseases in the offspring, but the mechanism underlying this relationship is unknown.
Objectives: To study the link between gestational vitamin D exposure and childhood asthma phenotypes using maternal blood metabolomics profiling.
Methods: Untargeted blood metabolomic profiles were acquired using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry at one week postpartum from 672 women in the COPSAC2010 mother-child cohort, and at pregnancy week 32-38 from 779 women in the VDAART mother-child cohort. In COPSAC2010, we employed multivariate models and pathway-enrichment analysis to identify metabolites and pathways associated with gestational vitamin D blood levels and investigated their relationship with development of asthma phenotypes in early childhood. The findings were validated in VDAART and in cellular models.
Results: In COPSAC2010, higher vitamin D blood levels at one week postpartum were associated with distinct maternal metabolome perturbations with significant enrichment of the sphingomyelin pathway (p<.01). This vitamin D-related maternal metabolic profile at one week postpartum containing 46 metabolites was associated with decreased risk of recurrent wheeze (Hazard Ratio (HR)=0.92 [95% CI, 0.86-0.98], p=.01) and wheeze exacerbations (HR=0.90 [0.84-0.97], p=.01) at age 0-3 years. The same metabolic profile was similarly associated with decreased risk of asthma/wheeze at age 0-3 in VDAART (OR=0.92 [0.85-0.99], p=0.04). Human bronchial epithelial cells treated with high-dose vitamin D3 showed an increased cytoplasmatic sphingolipid level (p<0.01).
Conclusion: This exploratory metabolomics study in two independent birth cohorts demonstrates that the beneficial effect of higher gestational vitamin D exposure on offspring respiratory health is characterized by specific maternal metabolic alterations during pregnancy, which involves the sphingomyelin pathway.
