Abstract
PROBLEM
Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy disorder characterized by gestational hypertension and proteinuria. miR-210 is significantly overexpressed in the placentas of preeclampsia patients.
METHOD OF STUDY
Swan 71 cells, first-trimester human trophoblastic cell line, were transfected with hsa-miR-210-3p oligonucleotides by electroporation. Altered transcriptome was analyzed using microarray technique. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were clustered into Gene Ontology annotation biological processes. The extent of physical interaction between miR-210 and IGFBP3 mRNA was assessed via ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation.
RESULTS
Microarray analysis showed 408 DEGs by elevated levels of miR-210 in Swan 71 cells. These genes were enriched in several biological processes involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. IGFBP3, a gene associated with preeclampsia pathophysiology, was validated as a target gene of miR-210.
CONCLUSION
We have demonstrated that elevated miR-210 levels in human trophoblast alter the expression profile of known preeclampsia-associated genes, and of gene targets involved in various biological processes essential to preeclampsia progression.
