Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), usually due to uteroplacental failure, is associated with milder neurodevelopmental deficits, which have been partly attributed to dysregulated TH action\n                    <jats:italic>in utero<\/jats:italic>\n                    secondary to reduced circulating fetal TH concentrations and decreased cerebral thyroid hormone receptor expression. We postulate that altered MCT8 expression is implicated in this pathophysiology; therefore, in this study, we sought to quantify changes in cortical MCT8 expression with IUGR. First, MCT8 immunohistochemistry was performed on occipital and parietal cerebral cortex sections obtained from appropriately grown for gestational age (AGA) human fetuses between 19 weeks of gestation and term. Secondly, MCT8 immunostaining in the occipital cortex of stillborn IUGR human fetuses at 24\u201328 weeks of gestation was objectively compared with that in the occipital cortex of gestationally matched AGA fetuses. Fetuses demonstrated widespread MCT8 expression in neurons within the cortical plate and subplate, in the ventricular and subventricular zones, in the epithelium of the choroid plexus and ependyma, and in microvessel wall. When complicated by IUGR, fetuses showed a significant fivefold reduction in the percentage area of cortical plate immunostained for MCT8 compared with AGA fetuses (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05), but there was no significant difference in the proportion of subplate microvessels immunostained. Cortical MCT8 expression was negatively correlated with the severity of IUGR indicated by the brain:liver weight ratios (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    =0.28;\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05) at post-mortem. Our results support the hypothesis that a reduction in MCT8 expression in the IUGR fetal brain could further compromise TH-dependent brain development.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/joe-13-0400","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,7]],"date-time":"2013-11-07T22:27:22Z","timestamp":1383863242000},"page":"85-95","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["MCT8 expression in human fetal cerebral cortex is reduced in severe intrauterine growth restriction"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"220","author":[{"given":"Shiao Y","family":"Chan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura A","family":"Hancox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Azucena","family":"Mart\u00edn-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurence S","family":"Loubi\u00e8re","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merlin N M","family":"Walter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana-Maria","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phillip M","family":"Cox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"Logan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher J","family":"McCabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayne A","family":"Franklyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark D","family":"Kilby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"1_18297262","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4037","DOI":"10.1210\/en.2004-0274","volume":"145","year":"2004","journal-title":"Endocrinology","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0013-7227","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"2_45565193","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1352","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2012.01.059","volume":"60","year":"2012","journal-title":"NeuroImage","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/1053-8119","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"2","key":"3_30322207","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1038\/nrn2252","volume":"9","author":"Bystron","year":"2008","journal-title":"Nature reviews.
