Abstract
Diabetes-related pathophysiological alterations and various female reproductive difficulties were common in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), who had 21.1 million live births. Preeclampsia (PE), which increases maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, affects approximately 3%-5% of pregnancies worldwide. Nevertheless, it is unclear what triggers PE and GDM to develop. Therefore, the development of novel moderator therapy approaches is a crucial advancement. Chemokines regulate physiological defenses and maternal-fetal interaction during healthy and disturbed pregnancies. Chemokines regulate immunity, stem cell trafficking, anti-angiogenesis, and cell attraction. CXC chemokines are usually inflammatory and contribute to numerous reproductive disorders. Fractalkine (CX3CL1) may be membrane-bound or soluble. CX3CL1 aids cell survival during homeostasis and inflammation. Evidence reveals that CXC and CX3CL1 chemokines and their receptors have been the focus of therapeutic discoveries for clinical intervention due to their considerable participation in numerous biological processes. This review aims to give an overview of the functions of CXC and CX3CL1 chemokines and their receptors in the pathophysiology of PE and GDM. Finally, we examined stimulus specificity for CXC and CX3CL1 chemokine expression and synthesis in PE and GDM and preclinical and clinical trials of CXC-based PE and GDM therapies.

Abstract
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition and a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is thought to occur due to abnormal placental development or dysfunction, because the only known cure is delivery of the placenta. Several clinical risk factors are associated with an increased incidence of preeclampsia including chronic hypertension, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, kidney disease, and obesity. How these comorbidities intersect with preeclamptic etiology, however, is not well understood. This may be due to the limited number of animal models as well as the paucity of studies investigating the impact of these comorbidities. This review examines the current mouse models of chronic hypertension, pregestational diabetes, and obesity that subsequently develop preeclampsia-like symptoms and discusses how closely these models recapitulate the human condition. Finally, we propose an avenue to expand the development of mouse models of preeclampsia superimposed on chronic comorbidities to provide a strong foundation needed for preclinical testing.

Hsa_circ_0008726 regulates the proliferation, migration, and invasion of trophoblast cells in preeclampsia through modulating the miR-1290-LHX6 signaling pathway. J Clin Lab Anal 2022; 36:e24540. [PMID: 35698314 PMCID: PMC9279947 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.24540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication of pregnancy, with a global incidence of about 2%–8%. It is one of the important causes of morbidity and mortality among the pregnant women and perinatal infants. Circular RNA (circRNA) has been confirmed to play an important regulatory role in PE. This study aimed to evaluate the role of hsa_circ_0008726 in the occurrence and development of PE. Methods The expression of hsa_circ_0008726 in PE placental tissue and blood was detected by qRT‐PCR. CCK‐8, wound closure, and Transwell assay were used to measure cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Bioinformatics prediction, Western blotting, and dual‐luciferase reporter gene detection were used to explore the mechanism of hsa_circ_0008726 in HTR8/SVneo cells. Results The expression level of circ_0008726 in the placental tissue and blood samples of PE patients was significantly higher than that of normal controls. The overexpression of circ_0008726 can significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of HTR‐8/SVneo cells. While the silence of circ_0008726 showed an opposite effect. Furthermore, hsa_circ_0008726 can modulate the expression of LHX6 by adsorbing miR‐1290. Conclusion Hsa_circ_000872 can regulate LHX6 by adsorbing miR‐1290 to inhibit PE progression, thus establishing hsa_circ_000872 as a potential target for predicting and treating PE.
