Elevated high-mannose N-glycans hamper endometrial decidualization.

ABSTRACT: Decidualization of endometrial stromal cells is a hallmark of endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation, and dysfunctional decidualization is associated with pregnancy failure. Protein glycosylation is an important posttranslational modification that affects the structure and function of glycoproteins. Our results showed that high-mannose epitopes were elevated in the decidual tissues of miscarriage patients compared with early pregnant women by Lectin microarray. Furthermore, the level of mannosyl-oligosaccharide α-1,2 mannosidase IA (MAN1A1), a key enzyme for high-mannose glycan biosynthesis, was decreased in the decidual tissues of miscarriage patients. Screening of lncRNAs showed that lncNEAT1 level was increased in the serum and decidua of miscarriage patients, and negatively co
