Novel mechanism of miRNA-365-regulated trophoblast apoptosis in recurrent miscarriage.

ABSTRACT: Clinical pregnancies increasingly end in recurrent miscarriage (RM) during the first trimester, with genetic factors shouldering the main responsibility. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in a wide array of important biological processes. We examined the potential role of dysregulated miRNAs in RM pathogenesis and trophoblast development as an approach to elucidate the molecular mechanism behind RM. miRNA profiles from clinical specimens of RM and induced abortion (IA) were compared, and several miRNAs were found to be aberrantly expressed in RM samples. Among the miRNAs, miR-365 was significantly differentially expressed in RM decidual tissues. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that miR-365 functions as an upstream regulator of MDM2/p53 expression, cell cycle progression and
