In 722 mother-child pairs, overall associations between ten maternal lifestyle factors and the offspring's standardized birth weight were first evaluated by multiple linear regression. Three high-dimensional mediation methods, based on sure independence screening and penalized regression, were then applied on the beta methylation matrix to identify candidate CpG mediators in cord blood driving the significant overall associations. Finally, robust and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression-based classical mediation methods were used with candidate CpG probes to assess single- and multiple (parallel and serial)-mediator models on a low-dimensional space.\n\nGestational weight gain (GWG) (\u03b2-adj = 0.03; p = 2 \u00d7 10-5) and maternal BMI at the beginning of pregnancy (\u03b2-adj = 0.036; p = 1 \u00d7 10-4) were significantly associated with the offspring's standardized birth weight. High-dimensional mediation analyses identified pooled sets of four (cg19242268 [TCEA2]; cg08461903 [N/A]; cg14798382 [CHERP/C19orf44] and cg21516291 [SLC35C2]) and five (cg17040807 [CYGB]; cg19242268 [TCEA2]; cg26552621 [CIRBP]; cg04457572 [CDH23] and cg06457011 [PLCG1]) candidate CpG mediators related to GWG and BMI at the beginning of pregnancy, respectively. For both exposures, classical mediation analyses revealed a range of significant single- and multiple (both serial and parallel)-mediator models via both robust and OLS regression based approaches. These indicated the likely presence of individual, causally linked multiple, and causally independent multiple mediatory pathways underlying the two significant overall associations.\n\nOur findings support the hypothesis that neonatal health effects related to maternal lifestyle may be partly mediated by epigenetic alterations. Findings also suggest the possible involvement of multiple DNA methylation sites via various mediatory pathways.", "doi": "10.1186/s13148-025-02001-z", "pmid": "41163109", "labels": {"National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "NGI SNP genotyping": "Service", "NGI Uppsala (SNP&SEQ Technology Platform)": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC12570728"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "10.1186/s13148-025-02001-z"}], "notes": [], "created": "2025-11-07T07:25:46.328Z", "modified": "2025-11-11T13:52:44.760Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "02ca4d46df3c4e73b9e068dd236e5d2a", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/02ca4d46df3c4e73b9e068dd236e5d2a.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/02ca4d46df3c4e73b9e068dd236e5d2a"}}, "title": "Dietary patterns, untargeted metabolite profiles and their association with colorectal cancer risk.", "authors": [{"family": "Bod\u00e9n", "given": "Stina", "initials": "S", "orcid": "0000-0002-8958-975X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/8dcfadb86b8040499a7af3c4a744d3b2.json"}}, {"family": "Zheng", "given": "Rui", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Ribbenstedt", "given": "Anton", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Landberg", "given": "Rikard", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Harlid", "given": "Sophia", "initials": "S", "orcid": "0000-0001-8540-6891", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/76a824f2687b460890ae6d9ef40d97c9.json"}}, {"family": "Vidman", "given": "Linda", "initials": "L"}, {"family": "Gunter", "given": "Marc J", "initials": "MJ"}, {"family": "Winkvist", "given": "Anna", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0001-9122-7240", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/e34ca937891145e190390ae9418d2243.json"}}, {"family": "Johansson", "given": "Ingegerd", "initials": "I", "orcid": "0000-0002-9227-8434", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/ee3e20587b664a42a880870f1648160a.json"}}, {"family": "Van Guelpen", "given": "Bethany", "initials": "B", "orcid": "0000-0002-9692-101X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/1ea901d796bc4f3fbc53f930c5021118.json"}}, {"family": "Brunius", "given": "Carl", "initials": "C"}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2024-01-26", "journal": {"title": "Sci Rep", "issn": "2045-2322", "volume": "14", "issue": "1", "pages": "2244", "issn-l": "2045-2322"}, "abstract": "We investigated data-driven and hypothesis-driven dietary patterns and their association to plasma metabolite profiles and subsequent colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in 680 CRC cases and individually matched controls.

Appetite-regulating gut hormones might have a role in colorectal cancer risk. We investigated whether circulating levels of the gut hormones ghrelin (analyzed as acyl ghrelin) and Peptide YY (PYY) were associated with subsequent colorectal cancer risk, including clinical and molecular tumor subtypes. We also provide descriptive data on these hormones in relation to background participant characteristics and metabolic biomarkers. This population-based study included 1,010 matched case-control pairs with a median of 12.3 years of follow-up. Acyl ghrelin and PYY were measured by multiplex immunoassay. Data on KRAS and BRAF mutations and microsatellite instability (MSI) status were available for 704 and 708 cases, respectively. Conditional logistic regression models estimated association to colorectal cancer risk. Partial correlation and linear regression were used to investigate relationships between background and metabolic variables and variation in plasma gut hormone concentrations. Acyl ghrelin was not clearly associated with colorectal cancer risk (multivariable OR per 1 SD increase: 1.11; 95% CI, 1.00-1.23). Positive associations were observed for specific subtypes, in particular BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer and right-sided colon cancer, although with nonsignificant heterogeneity. PYY was not related to colorectal cancer risk (multivariable OR per 1 SD: 1.04; 95% CI, 0.95-1.14) or any tumor subtype. In the control participants, ghrelin was inversely correlated with BMI, and PYY was positively correlated with C-peptide and insulin levels. These findings provide limited support for a possible role for ghrelin in colorectal cancer development, primarily in specific anatomical and molecular tumor subtypes.\n\nThe findings of this study do not support a major role for the metabolic gut hormones ghrelin and PYY in colorectal cancer development but suggest the possibility of an involvement for ghrelin in specific tumor subtypes.
