Abstract
Background The influence of cytokine in the reproductive system is becoming increasingly important. The polymorphisms of the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) gene are involved in male infertility. This study aimed to demonstrate the association between TGF-β1 and infertility and to investigate its impact on semen quality. Methods In this case-control study, serum TGF-β1 concentration was measured in 144 patients diagnosed with infertility and 40 fertile males by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The tetra-amplification refractory mutation system-PCR (T-ARMS-PCR) analysis was performed to detect the genotyping of the TGF-β1 (+869 C/T) (rs1800470) SNPs gene. Results Serum concentration of TGF-β1 was less in infertile males compared to fertile ones. The detected and more effective genotypes and alleles of TGF-β1 gene polymorphic on male infertility were, in normozoospermic group, CT genotype, probability (p)= 0.45, relative risk (RR)= 1.56, confidence intervals (CI): 0.58-4.22, and T allele (p= 0.46, RR= 1.32, CI: 0.65-2.69), in oligozoospermic and azoospermic groups, CC genotype (p= 0.32, RR= 1.58, CI: 0.73-3.41), (p= 0.013, RR= 3.50, CI: 1.40-8.73), and allele C (p= 0.44, RR= 1.32, CI: 0.73-2.38), (p= 0.06, RR= 2.14, CI: 1.02-4.50), respectively. The recessive model (TT+CT) showed increased risk among normozoospermic group (p=0.44, RR=1.67, CI:0.60-4.62). The serum concentration of TGF-β1 with CT and TT genotypes was less than that of CC genotype. TGF-β1 C/T genotype correlated with low sperm number, high immotile sperm, and high abnormal sperm morphology. Conclusions Our study revealed that the TGF-β1(rs1800470) gene polymorphisms are associated negatively with semen quality.

Abstract
Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a multifactorial and severe pregnancy complication including preeclampsia/eclampsia, gestational hypertension, chronic (pre-existing) hypertension, and preeclampsia/eclampsia variants superimposed on chronic hypertension. PIH-induced maternal mortality accounts for approximately 9% of all maternal deaths over the world. A large number of case-control studies have established the importance of various genetic factors in the occurrence and development of PIH. In this narrative review, we summarized the genetic risk factors involved in the renin-angiotensin system, endothelin system, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, and other functional networks, with the aim of sorting out the genetic factors that may play a potential role in PIH and providing new ideas to elucidate the pathogenesis of PIH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a common pregnancy-specific disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. Previous studies have generated conflicting results regarding the association of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) gene polymorphisms (+869 T/C, -509 C/T, +915 G/C, and -800 G/A) with PE risk. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to more precisely assess the role of TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms in PE. METHODS Eligible studies were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Elsevier Science Direct, and several Chinese databases. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the associations. RESULTS A total of 11 eligible studies (1463 cases/1754 controls) were included in this meta-analysis. A statistically significant association was found between the TGF-β1 + 869 T/C polymorphism and PE risk in the Asian population and in subgroup analyses of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in controls and healthy pregnant controls. There was a statistically significant association between TGF-β1 - 509 C/T polymorphism and PE risk among Asian women, and in the subgroup analysis of healthy pregnant controls. No obvious association was observed under any genetic model for the TGF-β1 + 915 G/C and -800 G/A polymorphisms and PE risk, or between the TGF-β1 + 869 T/C and -509 C/T polymorphisms and severity of PE. CONCLUSIONS The present study suggested that the TGF-β1 + 869 T/C and -509 C/T polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of PE in the Asian population. Further case-controlled studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
AIM Mounts of researches focused on the link between transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) polymorphisms and preeclampsia (PE) which is a hypertensive multisystemic disorder affecting pregnancy. However, the results were inconsistent. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to obtain more conclusive results. METHODS Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Scopus. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilized to evaluate the relationship between six TGF-β1 polymorphisms (rs1800468, rs1800469, rs1800470, rs1800471, rs4803455, and rs4803457) and PE susceptibility in five genetic models. The subgroup stratified analysis and trial sequential analysis were performed. RESULTS Fourteen studies were included in this meta-analysis with 1941 PE patients and 2488 healthy women. There was no statistically significant association between these six TGF-β1 polymorphisms and PE within five genetic models in the overall population (all p > 0.05). Subgroup stratified analysis revealed there was statistically significant association between TGF-β1 rs1800469 polymorphism and PE within the allele, recessive, and homozygous model in Asian (OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.02-1.35; OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.06-1.72; OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.07-2.05, respectively; all p < 0.05). Trial sequential analysis indicated sufficient proof of such association in the Asian population. CONCLUSIONS TGF-β1 rs1800469 is a possible risk factor for PE in Asian populations.

Abstract
The prevalence of infertility is increasing and worrisome. About 10 to 30% of infertility is classified as idiopathic or unexplained infertility (UI).TGF-β is multifunctional and immunoregulatry cytokine which regulates both implantation and adhesion of trophoblasts to the extracellular matrix during pregnancy. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between two polymorphisms rs1800470 (C29T) and rs1800471 (G74C) of the TGF-β1 gene in Iranian patients with unexplained infertility. A total of 250 UI patients and 484 healthy individuals with no history of infertility were included in the study. The amplification and sequencing of target DNA fragments were done using PCR and automated sequencing methods, respectively. The effects of these polymorphisms on both TGF-β1 structure and function of mRNA and protein were analyzed using new in-silico tools. The frequency distribution of the alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes of both rs1800470 and rs1800471 polymorphisms had a statistically significant difference between subjects and controls. CC genotype of TGF-β1 rs1800470 (29C→T) increase the risk of UI in male UI patients. Moreover, C alleles of TGF-β1 rs1800471 was associated with increased risk of UI in female UI patients. Couples, subgroup analysis revealed a significant association between TGF-β1 polymorphisms (rs1800470, rs1800471) and the risk of UI in male, female, and all UI patients. The frequency of TG and CG haplotypes were statistically different in both UI and healthy subjects group (P < 0.05). RS1800471 polymorphisms changed the secondary structure of TGF-β1 mRNA and resulted in the removal of one mRNA arm and creation of two new arms. Taken together, the results of the current study suggest that TGF-β1 functional polymorphisms may play an important role in the susceptibility to UI in Iranian population. According to in silico analysis, polymorphisms in TGF-β1 can reduce mRNA half-life and, therefore, reduced TGF-β1 expression. .

Downregulation of lysyl oxidase and lysyl oxidase-like protein 2 suppressed the migration and invasion of trophoblasts by activating the TGF-β/collagen pathway in preeclampsia. Exp Mol Med 2019; 51:1-12. [PMID: 30804321 PMCID: PMC6389995 DOI: 10.1038/s12276-019-0211-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2018] [Revised: 10/16/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder that is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality with a prevalence of 6–8% of pregnancies. Although impaired trophoblast invasion in early pregnancy is known to be closely associated with preeclampsia, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we revealed that lysyl oxidase (LOX) and LOX-like protein 2 (LOXL2) play a critical role in preeclampsia. Our results demonstrated that LOX and LOXL2 expression decreased in preeclamptic placentas. Moreover, knockdown of LOX or LOXL2 suppressed trophoblast cell migration and invasion. Mechanistically, collagen production was induced in LOX- or LOXL2-downregulated trophoblast cells through activation of the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway. Notably, inhibition of the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway could rescue the defects caused by LOX or LOXL2 knockdown, thereby underlining the significance of the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway downstream of LOX and LOXL2 in trophoblast cells. Additionally, induced collagen production and activated TGF-β1/Smad3 were observed in clinical samples from preeclamptic placentas. Collectively, our study suggests that the downregulation of LOX and LOXL2 leading to reduced trophoblast cell migration and invasion through activation of the TGF-β1/Smad3/collagen pathway is relevant to preeclampsia. Thus, we proposed that LOX, LOXL2, and the TGF-β1/Smad3/collagen pathway can serve as potential markers and targets for clinical diagnosis and therapy for preeclampsia. Cancer-associated proteins play a role in preeclampsia, a potentially life-threatening disorder of pregnancy marked by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. The causes of preeclampsia are poorly understood, but the tissue that nourishes the fetus, the placenta, is known to be involved. Knowing that for healthy placenta formation, cells called trophoblasts must show cancer cell-like behavior and invade the developing tissue, Li-Ping Jin and Kai Wang at Tongji University School of Medicine in Shanghai, China, and co-workers investigated the role of cancer-associated LOX proteins, previously linked to cell invasiveness. Preeclamptic placentas showed low LOX levels, poor trophoblast invasion, and excessive formation of collagen, an important connective tissue. Further analysis showed that this excessive collagen is broken down, becoming the diagnostic urinary protein. These results illuminate potential markers for early diagnosis and treatment of preeclampsia.

Abstract
Abstract Objectives: to verify the contribution of polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800468 of the TGF-β1 gene and the risk factors for the pre-eclampsia development. Methods: this is a case-control study with 257 women from the Uberaba region of Minas Gerais were selected, 88 of them were in the pre-eclampsia group and 169 in the control group. Genotyping was performed by allelic discrimination using the real-time PCR technique. The odds ratio and the 95% confidence interval were used to evaluate the probability of the polymorphisms studied contributing for the pre-eclampsia development. The logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relation among family recurrence, smoking, primiparity and the presence of polymorphic alleles and susceptibility of preeclampsia. Results: no association was found between polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800468 of the TGF-β1 gene and pre-eclampsia. The logistic regression analysis was statistically significant for family recurrence, showing that women with a family history of pre-eclampsia and primiparity are at an increased risk of developing the disease. Conclusions: no association was found between polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800468 of the TGF-β1 and pre-eclampsia gene. Factors such as family history and primiparity were associated to the risk of developing pre-eclampsia.

Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS), is a disease that degenerates myelin in central nervous system (CNS). Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are toxic metabolites, and accumulating data indicate that ROSs-mediated apoptosis of oligodendrocytes (OLGs) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of MS under oxidative stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the role of endogenous antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) as ROSs scavenger in the OLGs loss and myelin degeneration during cuprizone (cup)-induced demyelination in the experimental model of MS. Our results have shown that ALA treatment significantly increased population of mature OLGs (MOG+ cells), as well as decreased oxidative stress (ROSs, COX-2 and PGE2) and apoptosis mediators (caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl2 ratio) in corpus callosum (CC). Surprisingly, ALA significantly stimulates population of NG2 chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan positive glia (NG2+ cells or polydendrocytes), from week 4 afterward. Accordingly ALA could prevents apoptosis, delays demyelination and recruits OLGs survival and regeneration mechanisms in CC. We conclude that ALA has protective effects against toxic demyelination via reduction of redox signaling, and alleviation of polydendrocytes vulnerability to excitotoxic challenge.

Abstract
The mother's immune system has to adapt to pregnancy accepting the semi-allograft fetus and preventing harmful effects to the developing child. Aberrations in feto-maternal immune adaptation may result in disease of the mother, such as liver injury. Five pregnancy-associated liver disorders have been described so far, however, little is known concerning immune alterations promoting the respective disease. These liver disorders are pre-eclampsia, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count (HELLP), acute fatty liver, hyperemesis gravidarum, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. On the other hand, pre-existing autoimmune liver injury of the mother can be affected by pregnancy. This review intends to summarize current knowledge linking feto-maternal immunology and liver inflammation with a special emphasis on novel potential biomarkers.

Abstract
Abnormal macrophage polarization at the maternal-fetal interface may contribute to the development of Preeclampsia (PE). The reason why macrophage polarization changed in PE is still unclear. Decidual mesenchymal stem cells (dMSCs) could regulate macrophage polarization. However, miRNA in dMSCs of PE were maladjusted. Therefore, we speculated that miRNA may affect dMSC-regulated macrophage polarization. In this study, we found that miR-494-overexpressed dMSCs inhibit M2 macrophage polarization and this inhibitory effect is mediated by miR-494-reduced PGE2 secretion. Furthermore, we proved that miR-494 is induced by TGF-β3. In summary, our findings suggest that the high expression of TGF-β3 in PE decidua stimulates miR-494 in dMSCs and attenuates the regulation of MSC switching the macrophage toward M2 type, contributing to an immune imbalance at maternal-fetal interface.
