Here, we extend prior work by examining the association of maternal ACEs, and their interaction with financial stress and discrimination, with methylation status within eight differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in imprinted domains in newborns. ACEs, financial stress during pregnancy, and experience of discrimination were self-reported among 232 pregnant women. DNA methylation was assessed at PEG10/SGCE, NNAT, IGF2, H19, PLAGL1, PEG3, MEG3-IG, and DLK1/MEG3 regulatory sequences using pyrosequencing. Using multivariable linear regression models, we found evidence to suggest that financial stress was associated with hypermethylation of MEG3-IG in non-Hispanic White newborns; discrimination was associated with hypermethylation of IGF2 and NNAT in Hispanic newborns, and with hypomethylation of PEG3 in non-Hispanic Black newborns. We also found evidence that maternal ACEs interacted with discrimination to predict offspring PLAGL1 altered DMR methylation, in addition to interactions between maternal ACEs score and discrimination predicting H19 and SGCE/PEG10 altered methylation in non-Hispanic White newborns. However, these interactions were not statistically significant after multiple testing corrections. Findings from this study suggest that maternal ACEs, discrimination, and financial stress are associated with newborn aberrant methylation in imprinted gene regions.}, number={1}, journal={EPIGENETICS}, author={Vidal, Adriana C. and Sosnowski, David W. and Marchesoni, Joddy and Grenier, Carole and Thorp, John and Murphy, Susan K. and Johnson, Sara B. and Schlief, Billy and Hoyo, Cathrine}, year={2024}, month={Dec} } @article{marchesoni_freeman_tezbasaran_ricci_2024, title={The student staffing advantage: Data Science Consulting Service at NC State University Libraries}, volume={13}, ISSN={["2049-1573"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1002/sta4.702}, DOI={10.1002/sta4.702}, number={2}, journal={STAT}, author={Marchesoni, Joddy and Freeman, Kate and Tezbasaran, Alp and Ricci, Shannon W.}, year={2024}, month={Jun} } @article{vidal_chandramouli_marchesoni_brown_liu_murphy_maguire_wang_abdelmalek_mavis_et al._2023, title={AHRR Hypomethylation mediates the association between maternal smoking and metabolic profiles in children}, volume={7}, ISSN={["2471-254X"]}, DOI={10.1097/HC9.0000000000000243}, abstractNote={ Background: Tobacco smoking during pregnancy is associated with metabolic dysfunction in children, but mechanistic insights remain limited.

These conditions disproportionately affect racial/ethnic minorities. The effects of recommended dietary patterns in mitigating the effects of these stressors remain understudied. Objectives We aimed to evaluate the relations between maternal Mediterranean diet adherence (MDA) and maternal and offspring outcomes during the first decade of life in African Americans, Hispanics, and Whites. Methods This study included 929 mother–child dyads from the NEST (Newborn Epigenetics STudy), a prospective cohort study. FFQs were used to estimate MDA in pregnant women. Weight and height were measured in children between birth and age 8 y. Multivariable linear regression models were used to examine associations between maternal MDA, inflammatory cytokines, and pregnancy and postnatal outcomes. Results More than 55% of White women reported high MDA during the periconceptional period compared with 22% of Hispanic and 18% of African American women (P < 0.05). Higher MDA was associated with lower likelihood of depressive mood (β = −0.45; 95% CI: −0.90, −0.18; P = 0.02) and prepregnancy obesity (β = −0.29; 95% CI: −0.57, −0.0002; P = 0.05). Higher MDA was also associated with lower body size at birth, which was maintained to ages 3–5 and 6–8 y—this association was most apparent in White children (3–5 y: β = −2.9, P = 0.02; 6–8 y: β = −3.99, P = 0.01). Conclusions If replicated in larger studies, our data suggest that MDA provides a potent avenue by which effects of prenatal stressors on maternal and fetal outcomes can be mitigated to reduce ethnic disparities in childhood obesity.}, number={11}, journal={CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN NUTRITION}, author={Gonzalez-Nahm, Sarah and Marchesoni, Joddy and Maity, Arnab and Maguire, Rachel L. and House, John S. and Tucker, Rachel and Atkinson, Tamara and Murphy, Susan K. and Hoyo, Cathrine}, year={2022}, month={Nov} }
