Abstract:Objective: To investigate the association between the expression level of placental plasma membrane fatty acid binding protein (FABPpm) and non-gestational diabetes mellitus (non-GDM) macrosomia.Methods: A case-control study was performed. Forty macrosomia newborns (birth weight≥4 000 g) with normal pregnancy and full-term delivery were collected as case group from June 2015 to June 2016 continuously in the obstetric department of the Second Affiliated Hospital & Yuying Children’s Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. And 40 normal-birth-weight newborns (birth weight ranging from 2 500 to 3 999 g) were randomly selected as control group from those delivered within 3 days of macrosomia delivery. Self-designed questionnaires were used to collect maternal and fetal information, the placenta and cord blood samples were obtained. We detected the placental mRNA and protein expression levels of FABPpm by real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting, and determined the non-esterified fatty acids levels in umbilical cord blood by colorimetry. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of macrosomia. Results: The expression levels of FABPpm mRNA and protein in the placenta of macrosomia group were higher than those of control group (P<0.05). The FABPpm mRNA expression in placenta was positively correlated with birth weight in both groups (control group: rs=0.337, P=0.033; macrosomia group: rs=0.493, P=0.002). And FABPpm mRNA expression was positively correlated with NEFA level of umbilical cord blood in the control group (rs=0.334, P=0.046), but not in the macrosomia group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher FABPpm expression in placenta could increase the risk of macrosomia (OR=3.138, 95%CI=1.050-9.382, P=0.041), and the occurrence of macrosomia was also influenced by the fetal gender (OR=3.229, 95%CI=1.002-10.403, P=0.049) and gestational weight gain (OR=3.573, 95%CI=1.018-12.543, P=0.047). Conclusion: The up-regulation of FABPpm expression in placenta may increase the risk of non-GDM macrosomia, suggesting that FABPpm may affect the occurrence of macrosomia by affecting fatty acid transport.
