Abstract
CircRNAs are a class of endogenous non-coding RNAs implicated in the pathogenesis of many pregnancy related diseases, one of which is pre-eclampsia (PE). This study aims to investigate the role of CircPAPPA2 (circbase ID: hsa_circ_0015382) in regulating the migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. RNA sequencing was used to identify the differentially expressed circRNAs in placenta of PE and normal pregnant women. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the expression of circPAPPA2 and two miRNAs (miR-942-5p, 5006-3p) in placenta of PE and normal pregnant women. CCK8 and transwell experiments were performed to assess the function of circPAPPA2 in PE development.The interaction between circPAPPA2 and miR-942-5p/miR-5006-3p was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Finally, bioinformatics analyzed with gene ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of the target genes. The results showed that the expression of circPAPPA2 was increased in placenta of PE pregnant women. Also, circPAPPA2 impedes trophoblasts cell proliferation and invasion. Moreover, the expression of circPAPPA2 was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure and urine protein. In addition, circPAPPA2 serves as a sponge of miR-942-5p and miR-5006-3p. In conclusion, CircPAPPA2 regulates trophoblasts cell proliferation and invasion by mediating the miR-942/miR-5006-3p.

[PMID: 38586585 PMCID: PMC10995280 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2024.1359579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Systemic inflammatory regulators have been associated with preeclampsia (PE) during pregnancy; however, there is inconsistent evidence from animal models and observational results. Methods Using summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs), we performed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis of two samples of systemic inflammatory regulators (n = 8,186) and PE (n = 267,242) individuals of European ancestry. As our primary analysis, we used the random-effects inverse-variance weighted (IVW) approach. Sensitivity and pleiotropy analyses were conducted using the MR-Egger method, weighted median, MR Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO), and Cochran's Q test. Results The results indicate that there is a correlation between a higher circulating level of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-9 (IL-9) and an increased risk of PE (odds ratio [OR] = 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09-1.60, p = 0.004 and OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.02-1.62, p = 0.033, respectively). Conversely, lower levels of stem cell growth factor beta (SCGF-β) (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.80-0.99, p = 0.027) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.65-0.98, p = 0.030) are linked to an increased risk of PE. The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is the downstream inflammatory regulator of PE, according to reverse magnetic resonance imaging studies. Conclusion Our study suggests that SCGF-β, IL-5, IL-9, and TNF-α causally affect the PE risk, while PE is causally associated with MIF. Further studies are needed to validate these biomarkers in managing PE.

Abstract
Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) pose a significant risk to maternal and fetal well-being; however, the etiology and pathogenesis of HDP remain ambiguous. It is now widely acknowledged that inflammatory response and the immune system are closely related to HDP. Previous research has identified several inflammatory cytokines are associated with HDP. This study applied Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to further assess causality. Methods Patients with HDP who participated in the MR analysis presented with four types of HDP: pre-eclampsia or eclampsia (PE); gestational hypertension (GH); pre-existing hypertension complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (EH); and pre-eclampsia or poor fetal growth (PF). A two-sample MR analysis was used to analyze the data in the study. The causal relationship between exposure and outcome was analyzed with inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode methods, where IVW was the primary method employed. Results Our MR analysis demonstrated a reliable causative effect of Interleukin-9 (IL-9) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) on reducing HDP risk, while macrophage inflammatory protein 1-beta (MIP1b), Interleukin-13 (IL-13), and Interleukin-16 (IL-16) were associated with promoting HDP risk. Conclusions This study demonstrated that IL-9, MIF, MIP1b, IL-13, and IL-16 may be cytokines associated with the etiology of HDP, and that a number of inflammatory cytokines are probably involved in the progression of HDP. Additionally, our study revealed that these inflammatory cytokines have causal associations with HDP and may likely be potential therapeutic targets for HDP.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although increasing lines of evidence suggest that both the placenta and the decidua likely play roles in the pathogenesis of PE, the molecular mechanism of PE remains elusive partly because of the heterogeneity nature of the maternal-fetal interface. In this study, we perform single-cell RNA-seq on the placenta and the decidual from patients with late-onset PE (LOPE) and women in normal pregnancy. Analyses of single-cell transcriptomes reveal that in LOPE, there are likely a global development deficiency of trophoblasts with impaired invasion of extravillous trophoblasts (EVT) and increased maternal immune rejection and inflammation in the placenta, while there are likely insufficient decidualization of decidual stromal cells (DSC), increased inflammation, and suppressed regulatory functions of decidual immune cells. These findings improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of PE.

A bioinformatic search for correspondence between differentially expressed genes of domestic versus wild animals and orthologous human genes altering reproductive potential. Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii 2022; 26:96-108.

Abstract
One of the greatest achievements of genetics in the 20th century is D.K. Belyaev’s discovery of destabilizing selection during the domestication of animals and that this selection affects only gene expression regulation (not gene structure) and inf luences systems of neuroendocrine control of ontogenesis in a stressful environment. Among the experimental data generalized by Belyaev’s discovery, there are also f indings about accelerated extinc tion of testes’ hormonal function and disrupted seasonality of reproduction of domesticated foxes in comparison
with their wild congeners. To date, Belyaev’s discovery has already been repeatedly conf irmed, for example, by independent
observations during deer domestication, during the use of rats as laboratory animals, after the reintroduction
of endangered species such as Przewalski’s horse, and during the creation of a Siberian reserve population
of the Siberian grouse when it had reached an endangered status in natural habitats. A genome-wide comparison
among humans, several domestic animals, and some of their wild congeners has given rise to the concept of self-domestication
syndrome, which includes autism spectrum disorders. In our previous study, we created a bioinformatic
model of human self-domestication syndrome using differentially expressed genes (DEGs; of domestic animals
versus their wild congeners) orthologous to the human genes (mainly, nervous-system genes) whose changes in
expression affect reproductive potential, i. e., growth of the number of humans in the absence of restrictions caused
by limiting factors. Here, we applied this model to 68 human genes whose changes in expression alter the reproductive
health of women and men and to 3080 DEGs of domestic versus wild animals. As a result, in domestic animals,
we identif ied 16 and 4 DEGs, the expression changes of which are codirected with changes in the expression of the
human orthologous genes decreasing and increasing human reproductive potential, respectively. The wild animals
had 9 and 11 such DEGs, respectively. This difference between domestic and wild animals was signif icant according
to Pearson’s χ2 test (p < 0.05) and Fisher’s exact test (p < 0.05). We discuss the results from the standpoint of restoration
of endangered animal species whose natural habitats are subject to an anthropogenic impact.

Abstract
Introduction Human decidua basalis mesenchymal stem cells (DBMSCs) are potential therapeutics for the medication to cure inflammatory diseases, like atherosclerosis. The current study investigates the capacity of DBMSCs to stay alive and function in a harmful inflammatory environment induced by high levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods DBMSCs were exposed to different levels of LPS, and their viability and functional responses (proliferation, adhesion, and migration) were examined. Furthermore, DBMSCs’ expression of 84 genes associated with their functional activities in the presence of LPS was investigated. Results Results indicated that LPS had no significant effect on DBMSCs’ adhesion, migration, and proliferation (24 h and 72 h) (p > 0.05). However, DBMSCs’ proliferation was significantly reduced at 10 µg/mL of LPS at 48 h (p < 0.05). In addition, inflammatory cytokines and receptors related to adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation were significantly overexpressed when DBMSCs were treated with 10 µg/mL of LPS (p < 0.05). Conclusion These results indicated that DBMSCs maintained their functional activities (proliferation, adhesion, and migration) in the presence of LPS as there was no variation between the treated DBMSCs and the control group. This study will lay the foundation for future preclinical and clinical studies to confirm the appropriateness of DBMSCs as a potential medication to cure inflammatory diseases, like atherosclerosis.

Abstract
In the maternal-fetal crosstalk, fetal derived trophoblast cells can secret several molecules to regulate immune tolerance such as cytokines and chemokines, besides human leukocyte antigens (HLA) providing. However, the mechanism of these factors in pregnancy is still unknown. Our previous study showed that IL9 could be secreted by trophoblasts and exerted a positive effect on trophoblasts themselves through autocrine signaling. Given the immunoregulatory function of IL9 and its expression in trophoblasts, we hypothesize that IL9 contributes to maternal-fetal tolerance by regulating immune cells, especially CD14+ dendritic cells (DCs) and naïve CD4 + T cells who have essential roles in maternal-fetal immune tolerance. We performed a series of experiments, finding that HTR8/SVneo cells could secrete IL9 in vitro, and this secretion was decreased under hypoxia; both CD14 + DCs and naïve CD4 + T cells expressed IL9 receptors, indicating potential interactions among these cells. In CD14 + DCs, trophoblast-derived IL9 promoted the immature differentiation, and induced the secretion of Th2 cytokines, including IL4 and IL10, shifting the Th1/Th2 ratio to Th2. In naïve CD4 + T cells, IL9 also increased Foxp3 expression and promoted the secretion of Treg cytokines, including TGFβ and IL10, inhibiting pro-inflammatory Th17. Therefore, trophoblasts may act as fetal-derived immune cells to maintain maternal-fetal tolerance by secreting IL9. Given that trophoblast derived IL9 is decreased in preeclampsia, our study provides a new insight into maternal-fetal immunology and immunological disorders in abnormal pregnancy.

Abstract
Earlier, after our bioinformatic analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms of TATA-binding protein-binding sites within gene promoters on the human Y chromosome, we suggested that human reproductive potential diminishes during self-domestication. Here, we implemented bioinformatics models of human diseases using animal in vivo genome-wide RNA-Seq data to compare the effect of co-directed changes in the expression of orthologous genes on human reproductive potential and during the divergence of domestic and wild animals from their nearest common ancestor (NCA). For example, serotonin receptor 3A (HTR3A) deficiency contributes to sudden death in pregnancy, consistently with Htr3a underexpression in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) during their divergence from their NCA with cavy (C. aperea). Overall, 25 and three differentially expressed genes (hereinafter, DEGs) in domestic animals versus 11 and 17 DEGs in wild animals show the direction consistent with human orthologous gene-markers of reduced and increased reproductive potential. This indicates a reliable association between DEGs in domestic animals and human orthologous genes reducing reproductive potential (Pearson's χ2 test p < 0.001, Fisher's exact test p < 0.05, binomial distribution p < 0.0001), whereas DEGs in wild animals uniformly match human orthologous genes decreasing and increasing human reproductive potential (p > 0.1; binomial distribution), thus enforcing the norm (wild type).
