Abstract Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) has been on the rise for the last two decades along with the growing incidence of obesity. The ubiquitous use of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) worldwide has been associated with this increase in GDM incidence. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and methylation have been associated with prenatal exposure to EDCs. EDC exposure can also drive a sustained disruption of the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis and various other signaling pathways such as thyroid signaling, PPARγ signaling, PI3K-AKT signaling. This disruption leads to impaired glucose metabolism, insulin resistance as well as β-cell dysfunction, which culminate into GDM. Persistent EDC exposure in pregnant women also increases adipogenesis, which results in gestational weight gain. Importantly, pregnant mothers transfer these EDCs to the fetus via the placenta, thus leading to other pregnancy-associated complications such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and large for gestational age neonates. Furthermore, this early EDC exposure of the fetus increases the susceptibility of the infant to metabolic diseases in early life. The transgenerational impact of EDCs is also associated with higher vascular tone, cognitive aberrations, and enhanced susceptibility to lifestyle disorders including reproductive health anomalies. The review focuses on the impact of environmental toxins in inducing epigenetic alterations and increasing the susceptibility to metabolic diseases during pregnancy needs to be extensively studied such that interventions can be developed to break this vicious cycle. Furthermore, the use of EDC-associated ExomiRs from the serum of patients can help in the early diagnosis of GDM, thereby leading to triaging of patients based on increasing risk factor of the clinicopathological condition. |
