Integrative analysis provides multi-omics evidence for the pathogenesis of placenta percreta.

ABSTRACT: Pernicious placenta previa with placenta percreta (PP) is a catastrophic condition during pregnancy. However, the underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. In the present study, the placental tissues of normal cases and PP tissues of pernicious placenta previa cases were collected to determine the expression profile of protein-coding genes, miRNAs, and lncRNAs through sequencing. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), accompanied by miRNA target prediction and correlation analysis, were employed to select potential hub protein-coding genes and lncRNAs. The expression levels of selected protein-coding genes, Wnt5A and MAPK13, were determined by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical staining, and lncRNA PTCHD1-AS and PAPPA-AS1 expression levels were determined by quantitativ
