Eghan P, Folson AA, Donkor A, Kokuro C, Amo Wiafe Y. Relationship between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and cardiac remodeling during pregnancy: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2024; 298:108-115. [PMID: 38749071 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. The primary objective of this study was to ascertain whether maternal cardiac remodeling is more prevalent in HDP than normotensive pregnancy and if significant change in aortic root size is involved. The secondary objective was to determine the types of cardiac remodeling often associated with HDP. METHODS A systematic search was conducted across four electronic databases, including Medline, PubMed, Cochrane and EMBASE. The reference lists of selected articles were also searched to ensure no relevant studies were missed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed in this systematic review. RESULTS Out of 5,278 articles identified by the search terms, 9 were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The investigation unveiled a greater prevalence of maternal cardiac remodeling in HDP than normotensive pregnancies. The commonest type of maternal cardiac remodeling in both HDP and normotensive pregnancies was eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy, followed by concentric left ventricular remodeling which was more specific to HDP. Notably, left atrial diameter was significantly increased in HDP than normotensive pregnancies, suggesting higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction. Additionally, the aortic root dimension was significantly increased in HDP than normotensive pregnancies. CONCLUSION This study underscores the importance of monitoring cardiac health in pregnancy, particularly in those with hypertensive disorders, in order to mitigate potential complications and improve maternal outcomes. Finally, the risk of aortic dissection that may occur as a long-term effect of aortic root enlargement in women with history of HDP ought to be investigated in future studies.

Abstract
MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) was recognized as a key figure in the intricate web of tumor biology, with a prominent role in regulating the PTEN tumor suppressor gene and the PI3K/AKT cascade. This review elucidates the multifaceted interactions between miR-21, PTEN, and the PI3K/AKT signaling, shedding light on their profound implications in cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic strategies. The core of this review delves into the mechanical intricacies of miR-21-mediated PTEN suppression and its consequent impact on PI3K/AKT pathway activation. It explores how miR-21, as an oncogenic miRNA, targets PTEN directly or indirectly, resulting in uncontrolled activation of PI3K/AKT, fostering cancerous cell survival, proliferation, and evasion of apoptosis. Furthermore, the abstract emphasizes the clinical relevance of these molecular interactions, discussing their implications in various cancer types, prognostic significance, and potential as therapeutic targets. The review provides insights into ongoing research efforts to develop miR-21 inhibitors and strategies to restore PTEN function, offering new avenues for cancer treatment. This article illuminates the critical function of miR-21 in PTEN suppression and PI3K/AKT activation, offering profound insights into its implications for cancer biology and the potential for targeted interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension are two common hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with pre-eclampsia accounting for high foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality rate. These disorders have an unknown aetiology and their hypertensive and end-organ pathophysiology may present too late in pregnancy. This makes the identification of early detection and differentiation markers vital. MicroRNAs have strongly been associated with pregnancy and their imbalance has been associated with the angiogenic dysregulation seen in pre-eclampsia. This study assesses the expression of pro- and antiangiogenic factors and their corresponding microRNAs in the maternal circulation of patients with pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension. STUDY DESIGN We analyzed angiogenic factors expression (sEng, TGF-β, VEGF) normalized against housekeeping gene β-actin and microRNAs (miRs: 210, 29B, 126) normalized against miR U6, potentially associated with pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension using the targeted qPCR technique. These analytes were examined from early-onset (<34 weeks) (EOPE) (n = 12), late-onset (>34 weeks) (LOPE) (n = 12) pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension (GH) (n = 12) and two gestationally matched normotensive groups (NG1 and 2) (n = 12) each in South African women of African ancestry. Group comparisons of experimental vs. control groups were assessed using t-test analysis for significance and represented as fold change expression. RESULTS The relative expression in group comparisons showed significant (p < 0.05) fold change of VEGF, TGF-β, sEng and miR126 in the EOPE vs. NG1. The GH vs. NG1 exhibited significant changes in VEGF, TGF-β, miR126, miR210 and miR29B. The LOPE vs. NG2 showed significant relative expression in all the angiogenic factors (VEGF, TGF-β and sEng). The GH vs. NG2 showed significant expression in VEGF and miR29B. The LOPE vs. EOPE showed significant fold changes in VEGF and miR210. Finally, only the GH vs. EOPE showed significant differences in miR210 and miR29B (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study provides better insights into angiogenic factors and microRNAs specificity to the subtypes of gestational hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Relative expression analysis of angiogenic factors and microRNAs showed possible novel characteristics of gestational hypertension, and potential common molecular and pathological profiles with pre-eclampsia. Furthermore, we postulate that sEng and miR29B could be early detection markers for pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension, respectively.

Abstract
Background Women with a history of preeclampsia (PE) have been shown to have up to five times the risk of developing later-life cardiovascular disease (CVD). While PE and CVD are known to share clinical and molecular characteristics, there are limited studies investigating their shared genomics (genetics, epigenetics or transcriptomics) variation over time. Therefore, we sought to systematically review the literature to identify longitudinal studies focused on the genomic progression to CVD following PE. Methods A literature search of primary sources through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase via OVID was performed. Studies published from January 1, 1980, to July 28, 2023, that investigated genomics in PE and CVD were eligible for inclusion. Included studies were screened based on Cochrane systematic review guidelines in conjunction with the PRISMA 2020 checklist. Eligible articles were further assessed for quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results A total of 9,231 articles were screened, with 14 studies subjected to quality assessment. Following further evaluation, six studies were included for the final review. All six of these studies were heterogeneous in regard to CVD/risk factor as outcome, gene mapping approach, and in different targeted genes. The associated genes were RGS2, LPA, and AQP3, alongside microRNAs miR-122-5p, miR-126-3p, miR-146a-5p, and miR-206. Additionally, 12 differentially methylated regions potentially linked to later-life CVD following PE were identified. The only common variable across all six studies was the use of a case-control study design. Conclusions Our results provide critical insight into the heterogeneous nature of genomic studies investigating CVD following PE and highlight the urgent need for longitudinal studies to further investigate the genetic variation underlying the progression to CVD following PE.

Progesterone Changes the Pregnancy-Induced Adaptation of Cardiomyocyte Kv2.1 Channels via MicroRNA-29b. Cardiovasc Ther 2022; 2022:7145699.

Abstract
The cardiovascular system adaptation occurs during pregnancy to ensure adequate maternal circulation. Progesterone (P4) is widely used in hormone therapy to support pregnancy, but little is known about its effects on maternal cardiac function. In this study, we investigated the cardiac repolarization and ion channel expression in pregnant subjects and mice models and studied the effects of P4 administrations on these pregnancy-mediated adaptations. P4 administrations shortened the prolongation of QTC intervals and action potential duration (APD) that occurred during pregnancy, which was mainly attributable to the reduction in the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) current under basal conditions. In vitro studies indicated that P4 regulated the Kv2.1 channel in a bidirectional manner. At a low dose (1 μM), P4 induced upregulation of Kv2.1 through P4 receptor, while at a higher dose (5 μM), P4 downregulated Kv2.1 by targeting microRNA-29b (miR-29b). Our data showed that P4 modulated maternal cardiac repolarization by regulating Kv2.1 channel activity during pregnancy. Kv2.1, as well as miR-29b, might be used as potential therapeutic targets for adaptations of the maternal cardiovascular system or evaluation of progesterone medication during pregnancy.

Abstract
Evidence has shown that women with a history of preeclampsia or haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Recommendations for screening, prevention and management after such pregnancies are not yet defined. The identification of promising non-traditional cardiovascular biomarkers might be useful to predict which women are at greatest risk. Many studies are inconsistent and an overview of the most promising biomarkers is currently lacking. This narrative review provides an update of the current literature on circulating cardiovascular biomarkers that may be associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk in women after previous preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome. Fifty-six studies on 53 biomarkers were included. From the summary of evidence, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1, placental growth factor, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-6/IL-10 ratio, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I, activin A, soluble human leukocyte antigen G, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A and norepinephrine show potential and are interesting candidate biomarkers to further explore. These biomarkers might be potentially eligible for cardiovascular risk stratification after preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome and may contribute to the development of adequate strategies for prevention of hypertension and adverse events in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction (FGR) relates to increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, but to different extents. Subclinical cardiac alterations precede eminent cardiovascular disease. Speckle-tracking echocardiography is an elegant method to assess subclinical myocardial dysfunction. We performed a myocardial speckle tracking study to evaluate the prevalence of subclinical myocardial dysfunction in former preeclampsia patients (with and without FGR) compared with normotensive women with FGR. METHODS For this cross-sectional study, we retrospectively selected women with a history of normotensive FGR (n = 17), preeclampsia with FGR (n = 26) and preeclampsia without FGR (n = 134) who underwent conventional echocardiography as part of the clinical cardiovascular work-up after complicated pregnancies between 6 months and 4 years postpartum in Maastricht, The Netherlands. We excluded women with chronic hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and obesity. RESULTS Women with normotensive FGR showed subclinical left ventricular (LV) impairment in systodiastolic function with concentric remodeling, slight alteration in right ventricular systolic function and left atrial strain, similarly to the preeclampsia group independently from the fetal growth. LV hypertrophy was only present in about 10% of cases who experienced preeclampsia (independently from the fetal growth) but not in those with normotensive FGR. CONCLUSION Similar to women with a history preeclampsia, women with a history of normotensive pregnancy but with FGR have abnormal myocardial function, shown with speckle-tracking echocardiography. Therefore, both preeclampsia and normotensive FGR should be viewed upon as risk indicator for subclinical myocardial impairment that may benefit from cardiovascular risk management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia has genetic correlation. Many studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) polymorphism is highly associated with preeclampsia, but the results are inconsistent. The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the relationship between miRNA polymorphism and preeclampsia. METHODS In this study, the search time is set from the establishment of the database on January 2021. The search database include China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP and China Biology Medicine disc (CBM), PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. The subjects are case-control studies on the relationship between miRNA polymorphism and preeclampsia. The language is limited to English and Chinese. The data of the included study are extracted and the literature quality is evaluated by 2 researchers independently. The data are statistically analyzed through Stata 16.0 software. We also predicted the miRNA secondary structure and the binding sites of miRNA interaction with its target genes. RESULTS This review will be disseminated in print by peer-review. CONCLUSION This study will provide evidence-based medicine to elucidate the genetic tendency of preeclampsia. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval will not be required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/MJY2X.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the profiles of cardiac microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in healthy pregnant women and non-pregnant controls. A total of 61 healthy women >18 years of age with singleton pregnancies in the third trimester were compared with 19 non-pregnant controls. Specifically, expression of miRNAs associated with cardiac hypertrophy (miR-1, miR-17-5, miR-22, miR-34a, miR-124, miR-133a, miR-195, miR-199a-3p, miR-199b, miR-210, miR-222 and miR-1249) and miRNAs associated with cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis (miR-15b, miR-21, miR-26a, miR-29-a, miR-29c, miR-30c, miR-101, miR-146a, miR-191, miR-208a-5p and miR-328) were analyzed and compared with echocardiographic examination results. Both groups had similar cardiac miRNA expression profiles, but differed in quantitative evaluation. Women in the third trimester of physiological pregnancy exhibited downregulation of certain profibrotic miRNAs (miR-21, miR-30c and miR-328), decreased expression of a hypertrophic and antimetabolic miRNAs (miR-146a), downregulation of an antifibrotic miRNA (miR-222), and downregulation of a hypertrophic miRNA (miR-195). In pregnant women, the indices of systolic function were associated with miR-195 expression, and an interplay between miR-17-5p and diastolic function was observed. While the profiles of cardiac miRNAs expressed in healthy pregnant women and healthy non-pregnant controls were similar, these two groups differed in terms of expression of specific miRNAs. In the third trimester of physiological pregnancy, a downregulation of miR-17-5p, miR-21, miR-30c, miR-146a, miR-195, miR-222 and miR-328 was observed. The differences in the association between echocardiographic indices with miRNAs in pregnant and non-pregnant women suggest that miRNAs regulate both the structure and function of the pregnant heart, influencing cardiac muscle thickness as well as systolic and diastolic function.

Abstract
Abnormal inflammatory bias in the maternal-fetal interface leads to reproductive failure in mammals. Placental exosomes are involved in maternal-fetal communication during pregnancy. However, whether the placenta or fetus is involved in regulating the balance of uterine local inflammation through exosomes remains unclear, and the mechanism must be further explored. Here we demonstrated that placenta-specific exosomes are abundant in the peripheral blood of dairy cows during early pregnancy and selectively load miRNAs, such as bta-miR-499. In vitro, placental exosome-derived bta-miR-499 inhibits the activation of NF-κB via the Lin28B/let-7 axis, thus repressing LPS-induced inflammation in bovine endometrial epithelial (BEND) cells. Subsequently, inhibition of mmu-miR-499 leads to an impaired balance of inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface in vivo, resulting in an increased risk of pregnancy failure due to placental loss and fetal growth restriction. Thus, our data demonstrate that placental exosomal miR-499 may be a critical immune regulator in the regulation of the inflammation balance at the maternal-fetal interface in the early gestation of dairy cows and other mammals.
