Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) is a peculiar multisystemic disorder that contributes to maternal and perinatal morbidity. Exosomes, existing in the circulation, origin from late endosomes which are secreted into the extracellular surrounding by diverse cell types under different conditions, can mediate intercellular communication via transporting its constituents and regulate inflammation, immunomodulation and angiogenesis. We hypothesize that exosomes from trophoblast in preeclampsia complications under pathological hypoxia microenvironment impair vascular development by transmitting its contents to endothelial cells. Here, transwell and tube formation assays revealed that exosomes from hypoxic trophoblast cells attenuated the migration, and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. In a mouse model, hypoxic trophoblast cells derived exosomes leaded to vascular dysfunction and caused adverse PE-like birth outcomes. Next, we detected lncRNA expression in cord blood plasma derived exosomes from gestational age-matched preeclampsia and normal pregnancies by microarray analysis. Then, we identified the possible mechanisms of one up-regulated exosomal lncRNA, TINCR. Application of Quantitative RT-PCR, lncTINCR was confirmed overexpressing in exosomes released from cord blood plasma, peripheral blood plasma and human placental trophoblasts of preeclampsia patients. Moreover, the exosomal lncTINCR could be specifically secreted by hypoxic trophoblast cells and transferred to HUVECs, which increased autophagy in HUVECs and impaired angiogenesis of endothelial cells in vitro. Furthermore, we demonstrated that lncTINCR was considered as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate miR-424, which resulted in elevated ATG5 expression. Thus, we reported that exosomes intervened effective delivering of lncTINCR to endothelial cells to damage vascular functions and result in the development of PE. The newly identified exosomal lncTINCR /miR-424/ATG5 axis may present potential novel targets of diagnosis and treatment for PE. lncRNA profiles of cord blood plasma derived exosomes from gestational age-matched preeclampsia and normal pregnancies

Project description:To identify potential lncRNAs as early circulating biomarkers for pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), including both gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE), we sought to determine the lncRNA expression profiles in the serum of patients with PE before the 20th week of gestation and evaluated the efficacy of lncRNAs for diagnosing PIH before the onset of clinical symptoms. The screening phase assessed lncRNA expression profiles with a human lncRNA microarray in 5 pairs of serum samples (5 PE patients and 5 matched controls).

Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) is a common pregnancy disorder, and it complicates 5~7% of all pregnancies. At present, termination of pregnancy is the only curative strategy for PE. To explore a potential target for PE treatment, we collected placental tissue samples from patients with preeclampsia (PE) and normal pregnant women (N), and performed high-throughput RNA sequencing. We found that FOXP2 was significantly downregulated in placental samples of patients with PE compared with the controls.

Project description:During human pregnancy, a subset of placental cytotrophoblasts (CTBs) differentiates into cells that aggressively invade the uterus and its vasculature, anchoring the progeny and rerouting maternal blood to the placenta. In preeclampsia (PE), CTB invasion is limited, reducing placental perfusion and/or creating intermittent flow. This syndrome, affecting 4-8% of pregnancies, entails maternal vascular alterations (e.g., high blood pressure, proteinuria, and edema) ± fetal growth restriction. The only cure is removal of the faulty placenta, i.e., delivery. Previously we showed that defective CTB differentiation contributes to the placental component of PE, but the causes were unknown. Here, CTBs isolated from PE and control placentas were cultured for 48 h, enabling differentiation/invasion. In various severe forms of PE, transcriptomics revealed common aberrations in CTB gene expression immediately after isolation that resolved in culture. The upregulated genes included SEMA3B. Adding this protein to normal CTBs inhibited invasion and re-created aspects of the phenotype of these cells in PE. Additionally, SEMA3B downregulated VEGF signaling through the PI3K/AKT and GSK3 pathways, effects that were observed in PE CTBs. We propose that, in severe PE, the in vivo environment dysregulates CTB gene expression, the autocrine actions of the upregulated molecules, including SEMA3B, impair differentiation/invasion/signaling and patient-specific factors determine the signs.

Project description:Background: Platelets may be pivotal mediators of the thrombo-haemorrhagic complications of preeclampsia (PE), linking inflammation and thrombosis with endothelial and vascular dysfunction. While gestational hypertension (GH) falls within the spectrum of hypertensive complications of pregnancy and is a risk factor for preeclampsia, it is unclear what biomarkers distinguish PE from GH. Aim: To identify specific plasma and platelet thrombo-inflammatory biomarkers indicative of preeclampsia and distinguish PE from GH. Methods: We performed multiplex immunoassays, assessed platelet and plasma proteomics and metabolomics data of PE patients, and compared with non-pregnant (NP), healthy pregnant (PC) and GH participants. Results: We report plasma proteins upregulated, enriched plasma metabolites and proteins distinctly overexpressed in platelets of PE and GH compared to NP and PC. Whilst procoagulation in PC may be fibrinogen driven, Inter-Alpha-Trypsin Inhibitors ITIH2 and ITIH3 were enriched in hypertensive complications of pregnancy (PE and GH), and fibronectin and S100A8/9 may be major procoagulant agonists in PE but not GH. In addition, platelet leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 27 and 42 (LRRC27/42) subunits of volume-regulated VRAC anion channels were markedly overexpressed in preeclampsia and may contribute to the heightened glucose sensitivity and the pro-thrombotic tendency of this disorder. Additionally, our multiplex immunoassays confirmed previous reports of increases in preeclampsia plasma cytokines, including SDF-1α, which can directly activate platelets; but also, i-309 and CTACK cytokines, whose effects on platelets we explored using STRING analysis. Conclusion: We identified biomarkers that may be monitored for preeclampsia onset and progression, and distinguish PE from GH. Also, through protein-protein interactions analysis, we generated a new hypothesis for platelets’ contribution to the thrombo-inflammatory states of preeclampsia.

Project description:Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a placental disease characterized by hypertension and proteinuria in pregnant women, which is associated with a high maternal and infantile morbidity. However, circulating biomarkers able to predict the prognosis of PE are lacking. Methods: Thirty-eight women were included in the study. They consisted of 19 patients with PE (13 with severe PE and 6 women with non-severe PE) and 19 gestational age-matched normal pregnancy controls. We measured coagulation pathway, endothelial responses and microparticle release and circulating gene expression in PE patient groups and normotensive controls. Results: The measurement of markers associated with coagulation pathway, endothelial activation and circulating microparticles enabled to discriminate PE from normal pregnancy but were not sufficient to distinguish severe from non-severe PE. PE patients also exhibited a specific transcriptional program distinct from that of control women and subtle differences were observed between severe and non-severe PE. Functional annotation of the up-modulated signature in PE highlighted two main functions related to ribosome and complement. Importantly, we found that 8 genes were specifically up-modulated in severe preeclampsia. Among these genes, the expression of VSIG4 was significantly increased in patients with severe preeclampsia in comparison with controls and patients with non-severe preeclampsia. Conclusion: Using transcriptional signatures of blood samples, we identified the gene encoding the estrogen receptor as a potential diagnostic marker of severe preeclampsia. In addition, the determination of this gene may improve the prognostic assessment of severe preeclampsia.

Project description:Objective: To determine the effect and mechanism of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ncRuPAR (non-protein coding RNA, upstream of coagulation factor II thrombin receptor [F2R]/protease-activated receptor-1 [PAR-1]) in human gastric cancer. Methods: HGC-27-ncRuPAR overexpression and MGC-803-ncRuPAR-RNAi knockdown gastric cancer cell lines were established. We assessed the effect of ncRuPAR on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion using Cell Counting Kit 8, flow cytometry, scratch and transwell assays, respectively. Differentially expressed genes in HGC-27-ncRuPAR overexpression and HGC-27-empty vector cell lines were identified using Affymetrix GeneChip microarray analysis. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) of the microarray results was subsequently conducted to identify ncRuPAR-enriched pathways, followed by validation using real time-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). As one of the top enriched pathways, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway was further examined by western blotting to determine its role in ncRuPAR-mediated regulation of gastric cancer pathogenesis. Results: ncRuPAR inhibited human gastric cancer cell proliferation and induced G1/S phase arrest and apoptosis, but did not affect migration or invasion in vitro. Overexpression of ncRuPAR in vitro was found to inhibit its known target PAR-1, as well as PI3K/Akt signaling. The downstream targets of PI3K/Akt, cyclin D1 was downregulated, but there was no change in expression level of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2). Conclusions: We showed that lncRNA-ncRuPAR could inhibit tumor cell proliferation and promote apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells, potentially by inhibiting PAR-1, PI3K/Akt signaling, and cyclin D1. The results suggest a potential role for lncRNAs as key regulatory hubs in GC progression.

Project description:Preeclampsia-offspring have increased risks of developing cardiovascular disorders in adulthood, implicating that preeclampsia programs fetal vasculature in utero. Fetal sex is associated with the risk of preeclampsia but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesize that preeclampsia alters fetal endothelial gene expression and disturbs cytokines and growth factors-induced endothelial function in a fetal sex-specific manner. Methods: RNAseq analysis was performed with female and male unpassaged (P0) human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from normotensive and preeclamptic (PE) pregnancies and verified by RT-qPCR. Results: PE dysregulate 926 and 172 genes in female and male P0-HUVECs, respectively. PE differentially dysregulates cardiovascular diseases (i.e. heart failure) and endothelial function (i.e. endothelial cell migration, calcium, eNOS, and iNOS signaling)-associated genes in female and male P0-HUVECs. PE also differentially dysregulates TNF-, TGFβ1-, FGF2-, and VEGFA-regulated gene networks in female and male P0-HUVECs. Conclusions: There are sexual dimorphisms of PE-dysregulated cardiovascular diseases and endothelial function-associated genes/pathways in fetal endothelial cells in association with sexual dimorphisms of PE-dysregulated fetal endothelial function.

Conclusion: Using transcriptional signatures of blood samples, we identified the gene encoding the estrogen receptor as a potential diagnostic marker of severe preeclampsia.

Thirty-eight women were included in the study: 19 patients with PE, including 6 women with non-severe PE and 13 with severe PE, and 19 women with normal pregnancy (NP) selected according to age, weight, smoking status, race, gestational age at the inclusion, and blood pH (Table 1 of manuscript). Women with NP had no history of medical illness or medication, and received routing prenatal care. The diagnostic of PE was based on a blood pressure of M-bM-^IM-% 140/90 mmHg taken twice, uricemia above normal laboratory range (120-420 M-BM-5mol/L), and proteinuria higher than 300 mg in a 24 hour-collection, occurring after 20 gestational weeks in previously normotensive women (Table 2). The criteria used to define severe PE included one of the following conditions: a blood pressure higher than 160/110 mmHg, a proteinuria higher than 1500 mg/24h), a multisystem disorder, maternal cerebral symptoms (seizures, stroke) or intrauterine growth restriction below the 3M-BM-0 percentile. Women with multiple gestations, fetal congenital malformations/chromosomal abnormalities, recent infection, antiphospholipid antibodies, trauma, drug or alcohol abuse during pregnancy, preexisting hypertension, thrombophilia with PE history, or women receiving anticoagulant or antiaggregation therapy were excluded from the study. Two microarrays (one non-severe PE and one normal) were discarded from the analysis for technical reasons. Thus, only 36 microarrays are included here.
