Abstract
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent arteriovenous thrombosis and pathological pregnancy, accompanied by persistent antiphospholipid antibodies, (aPL). The incidence of APS is increasing year by year, clinicians lack of understanding of this type of disease, easy to misdiagnose and miss the diagnosis. Therefore, it is extremely important to establish a suitable animal model to reduce the process of disease development as much as possible and improve clinicians' understanding and understanding. This review will summarize the animal models of APS from the aspects of modeling methods, modeling mechanism, evaluation indicators and advantages and disadvantages of methods, providing a reference for finding an animal model highly similar to human APS, helping researchers to further clarify the pathogenesis of APS and find potential therapeutic targets, so as to achieve early diagnosis, early intervention, and ultimately improve the prognosis of patients.

Cluster analysis of antiphospholipid antibodies-associated adverse pregnancy outcome patients: based on a 13-years cohort study. Clin Exp Med 2023; 23:5377-5388.

Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) are the leading causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). We conducted cluster analysis to identify distinct phenotypes among aPLs-associated APOs patients. This approach aims to facilitate risk stratification and improve pregnancy outcomes for obstetric APS. This was a retrospective study of persistent aPLs positive women cohort in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Baseline demographic characteristics, clinical manifestation, previous APOs and antibodies profiles were included for hierarchical cluster analysis. Placentae from portions of patients were collected and performed the histopathologic diagnoses. Four clusters among 209 patients with 477 pregnancies were identified. Cluster 1 comprised patients with triple aPLs positivity and demonstrates a high incidence of gestational hypertension (34.92%, P < 0.05) and preterm delivery (20.63%, P < 0.05). Patients in cluster 2 were characterized by lupus anticoagulant (LA) positivity, with high risk of whole gestational APOs. Cluster 3 included patients with isolated aPLs-IgM isotype combined with early miscarriage (60.92%, P = 0.016). Patients in cluster 4 majorly presented aPLs-IgG isotype combined with placenta insufficiency (22.73%). During the follow-up, the live birth rate in cluster 1 and 2 was only 69.20%. Placenta pathology revealed the most severe impairment within cluster 1, whereas clusters 3 and 4 exhibited relatively milder damage. By cluster analysis, we identified four clinical subtypes of aPLs-associated APOs patients. Patients with triple antibodies or high-risk lupus characteristics were prone to occurred gestational hypertension and premature delivery. Isolated LA or aCL/aβ2GPI positivity were found to be more frequently associated with early-stage fetal loss.

Decreased histidine-rich glycoprotein and increased complement C4-B protein levels in follicular fluid predict the IVF outcomes of recurrent spontaneous abortion. Clin Proteomics 2022; 19:47. [PMID: 36528562 PMCID: PMC9758815 DOI: 10.1186/s12014-022-09383-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common and complicated pregnancy-related disease that lacks a suitable biomarker to predict its recrudescence. METHODS Tandem mass tag (TMT) analysis was conducted to obtain quantitative proteomic profiles in follicular fluid from patients with a history of RSA and from control group. ELISA validation of candidate differentially expressed proteins was conducted in a larger group of patients. RESULTS A total of 836 proteins were identified by TMT analysis; 51 were upregulated and 47 were downregulated in follicular fluid from cases of RSA versus control group. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed several important pathways were enriched, involving a dysregulated immunoglobulin Fc receptor signaling pathway and overactivated complement cascade pathways. ELISA validated the differential expression of two proteins, histidine-rich globulin (HRG) and complement C4-B (C4B), which were downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in follicular fluid of patients with RSA. We performed receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the ELISA results with the outcomes of current IVF cycles as classification variables. The area under the curve results for HRG alone, C4B alone and HRG-C4B combined were 0.785, 0.710 and 0.895, respectively. CONCLUSIONS TMT analysis identified 98 differentially expressed proteins in follicular fluid from patients with RSA, indicating follicle factors that act as early warning factors for the occurrence of RSA. Among them, HRG and C4B provide candidate markers to predict the clinical outcomes of IVF/ICSI cycles, and the potential for modeling an early detection system for RSA.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by multiple organ inflammatory damage and wide spectrum of autoantibodies. The autoantibodies, especially anti-dsDNA and anti-Sm autoantibodies are highly specific to SLE, and participate in the immune complex formation and inflammatory damage on multiple end-organs such as kidney, skin, and central nervous system (CNS). However, the underlying mechanisms of autoantibody-induced tissue damage and systemic inflammation are still not fully understood. Single cell analysis of autoreactive B cells and monoclonal antibody screening from patients with active SLE has improved our understanding on the origin of autoreactive B cells and the antigen targets of the pathogenic autoantibodies. B cell depletion therapies have been widely studied in the clinics, but the development of more specific therapies against the pathogenic B cell subset and autoantibodies with improved efficacy and safety still remain a big challenge. A more comprehensive autoantibody profiling combined with functional characterization of autoantibodies in diseases development will shed new insights on the etiology and pathogenesis of SLE and guide a specific treatment to individual SLE patients.

Abstract
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is defined as the failure of fetus to reach its growth potential for various reasons, leading to multiple perinatal complications and adult diseases of fetal origins. Shallow extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion-induced placental insufficiency and placental dysfunction are considered the main reasons for idiopathic FGR. In this review, first we discuss the major characteristics of anti-angiogenic state and the pro-inflammatory bias in FGR. We then elaborate major abnormalities in placental insufficiency at molecular levels, including the interaction between decidual leukocytes and EVT, alteration of miRNA expression and imprinted gene expression pattern in FGR. Finally, we review current animal models used in FGR, an experimental intervention based on animal models and the progress of predictive biomarker studies in FGR.Free Chinese abstract: A Chinese translation of this abstract is freely available at http://www.reproduction-online.org/content/153/6/R215/suppl/DC1.
