ABSTRACT
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) causes hyperglycemia during pregnancy and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Bulk placental gene expression has been reported largely unchanged. RNA sequencing of Norwegian and Chinese GDM placentas reveals hundreds of differential splicing events enriched for metabolic- and diabetes-related pathways. Motif enrichment and cross-linking and immunoprecipitation sequencing integration identify serine/arginine splicing factor 10 as a key regulator of GDM-associated missplicing. Silencing serine/arginine splicing factor 10 in placental models recapitulates the GDM-associated missplicing program.
