ABSTRACT
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes and epigenetic changes in offspring due to exposure to a high-glucose intrauterine environment, resulting in related short- and long-term complications. MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated post-transcriptional regulation, a gene expression regulation mechanism that has gained much attention in recent years, may play a role in morbidity in offspring born to mothers with GDM, such as macrosomia, heart development, neurodevelopment, and long-term metabolic diseases. This article reviews the progress of miRNA in GDM and associated complications in the offspring.
