Epidemiological studies revealed that prenatal caffeine exposure (PCE) is associated with adverse gestational outcomes and susceptibility to chronic diseases in offspring, yet the effects of PCE on glomerulosclerosis susceptibility in adult female offspring and its intergenerational transmission remain to be further investigated. Here, we found that PCE caused fetal kidney dysplasia and glomerulosclerosis of the female offspring. Besides, the kidney of F1 offspring in PCE group exhibited the "low expressional programming of AT2R" and "GC-IGF1 programming" alteration. Intergenerational genetic studies revealed that the renal defect and GC-IGF1 programming alteration was inherited to F2 adult female offspring derived from the female germ line, but Low expression of AT2R did not extend to the F2 female offspring. Taken together, PCE caused renal dysplasia and adult glomerulosclerosis in the F1 female offspring, which might be mediated by renal AT2R low expressional programming and GC-IGF1 axis alteration. Furthermore, PCE induced transgenerational toxicity on kidney, and GC-IGF1 programming alteration might be the potential molecular mechanism. This study provided experimental evidence for the mechanism study of the intergenerational inheritance of kidney developmental toxicity caused by PCE.

D011297 Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects The consequences of exposing the FETUS in utero to certain factors, such as NUTRITION PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA; PHYSIOLOGICAL STRESS; DRUGS; RADIATION; and other physical or chemical factors. These consequences are observed later in the offspring after BIRTH. Delayed Effects, Prenatal Exposure,Late Effects, Prenatal Exposure
D002110 Caffeine A methylxanthine naturally occurring in some beverages and also used as a pharmacological agent. Caffeine's most notable pharmacological effect is as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing alertness and producing agitation. It also relaxes SMOOTH MUSCLE, stimulates CARDIAC MUSCLE, stimulates DIURESIS, and appears to be useful in the treatment of some types of headache. Several cellular actions of caffeine have been observed, but it is not entirely clear how each contributes to its pharmacological profile. Among the most important are inhibition of cyclic nucleotide PHOSPHODIESTERASES, antagonism of ADENOSINE RECEPTORS, and modulation of intracellular calcium handling. 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine,Caffedrine,Coffeinum N,Coffeinum Purrum,Dexitac,Durvitan,No Doz,Percoffedrinol N,Percutaféine,Quick-Pep,Vivarin,Quick Pep,QuickPep

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
