Popis: Prenatal stress (PS) impacts early postnatal behavioural and cognitive development. This process of 'fetal programming' is mediated by the effects of the prenatal experience on the developing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system (ANS). The HPA axis is a dynamic system regulating homeostasis, especially the stress response, and is highly sensitive to adverse early life experiences. We review the evidence for the effects of PS on fetal programming of the HPA axis and the ANS. We derive a multi-scale multi-species approach to devising preclinical and clinical studies to identify early non-invasively available pre- and postnatal biomarkers of these programming effects. Such approach would identify adverse postnatal brain developmental trajectories, a prerequisite for designing therapeutic interventions. The multiple scales include the biomarkers reflecting changes in the brain epigenome, metabolome, microbiome and the ANS activity gauged via an array of advanced non-invasively obtainable properties of fetal heart rate fluctuations. The proposed framework has the potential to reveal mechanistic links between maternal stress during pregnancy and changes across these physiological scales. Such biomarkers may hence be useful as early and non-invasive predictors of neurodevelopmental trajectories influenced by the PS. We conclude that studies into PS effects must be conducted on multiple scales derived from concerted observations in multiple animal models and human cohorts performed in an interactive and iterative manner and deploying machine learning for data synthesis, identification and validation of the best non-invasive biomarkers.
