The association between exposure to particulate matter (PM) during pregnancy and abnormal birth outcomes is still inconclusive. This study aims to provide more evidence for this public health concern by investigating birth outcomes and the growth of offspring in mice exposed to PM during pregnancy. C57BL/6 J pregnant mice were exposed to PM via nasal drip at three doses or solvent control. The dam weight gain was recorded during pregnancy. The number of pups, pup weight, and placental weight were recorded at embryonic day 18.5 (E18.5) necropsy. For mice that gave birth naturally, we calculated the gestation length and measured the body weight of offspring once a week from the 1st to the 6th week after birth. The results showed that there were no significant differences in maternal body weight gain, conception rate, pregnancy duration, and litter size among different groups. There were no significant differences in fetal weight, placental weight, and fetal/placental weight ratio at E18.5. Weight gain in offspring was reduced after birth. The average body weight of offspring in the high-dose group was significantly lower than that in the control group at weeks 5 in female pups. There were no significant differences in the body weight of male offspring among groups from 1st to the 6th. Together, our study indicated that maternal exposure to PM did not significantly impact birth outcomes of C57BL/6 J mice but affected growth trajectories in offspring after birth in a dose- and fetal sex-dependent manner.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
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
