MiRNAs as Common Regulators of the Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β Pathway in the Preeclamptic Placenta and Cadmium-treated Trophoblasts: Links between the Environment, the Epigenome and Preeclampsia

ABSTRACT: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy disorder characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria that can cause adverse health effects in both mother and fetus. There is no current cure for PE other than delivery of the fetus. While the etiology is unknown, poor placentation of the placenta due to aberrant signaling of growth and angiogenic factors has been postulated as causal factors of PE. In addition, environmental contaminants, such as the metal cadmium (Cd), have been linked to placental toxicity and increased risk of developing PE. Here, we use a translational study design to investigate genomic and epigenomic alterations in both placentas and placental trophoblasts, focused on the angiogenesis-associated transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway. Genes within the TGF-β pathway displayed increased expression in both the preeclamptic placenta and Cd-treated trophoblasts. In addition, miRNAs that target the TGF-β pathway were also significantly altered within the preeclamptic placenta and Cd-treated trophoblasts. Integrative analysis resulted in the identification of a subset of Cd-responsive miRNAs, including miR-26a and miR-155, common to preeclamptic placentas and Cd-treated trophoblasts. These miRNAs have previously been linked to PE and are predicted to regulate members of the TGF-β pathway. Results from this study provide future targets for PE treatment.

Genome-Wide Mapping of 5-mC and 5-hmC in severely Preeclamptic Placentas.

Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) is a major contributor of maternal mortality with uncertain etiology. Recent studies suggested that epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, play a vital role in the development of PE. In this study, we have mapped genome-wide distribution of 5-methylcytosin (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) using MeDIP and (h)MeDIP in the placentas from severely preeclamptic patients and normal controls. A total 194485 pooled 5-mC peaks and 138133 pooled 5-hmC peaks were identified, of which 714 5-mC peaks and 119 5-hmC peaks showed significant difference between patients and controls (>2-fold, p<0.05).To our knowledge, this is the first report of DHMRs (Differentially Hydroxy-Methylated Regions) in preeclamptic placenta. We not only confirmed the aberrant DNA methylated regions in the process of preeclampsia reported previously, but also identified unreported regions. A total of 4 selected DMRs (Differentially Methylated Regions) were also confirmed by MassARRAY EppiTYPER. Of these, PTPRN2, which had low level of 5-mC and high level of 5-hmC at gene body, was further verified to have lower methylation level at promoter regions in case group compared with controls. In conclusion, our study provided genome-wide distribution of 5-mC and 5-hmC in severe PE and normal controls, which have further clinical value for the identification of diagnostic and therapeutic markers for severe PE. Examination of 5-mC and 5-hmC pattern in 4 control cases' tissue and 4 severely Preeclamptic Placentas cases' tissue.

Decreased CSTB, RAGE and Axl receptor is associated with Zika infection in the human placenta

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) compromises the placental integrity infecting the fetus. However, the mechanisms associated with ZIKV penetration into the placenta leading to fetal infection, are unknown. Cystatin B (CSTB), the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and tyrosine-protein kinase receptor UFO (AXL) have been implicated in inflammation. The purpose of this work iis work aims to investigate CSTB, RAGE, and AXL receptor expression in ZIKV infected placental tissues at term. The hypothesis is that in ZIKV-infected placenta, there is overexpression of CSTB and increased inflammation affecting the RAGE and AXL receptor expression. Pathological analyses of 22 placentas were performed to determine changes caused by ZIKV infection. Quantitative proteomics, immunofluorescence, and Western Blot analysis were performed to analyze proteins and pathways affected by ZIKV infection in frozen placenta. Pathological The pathological analysis confirmed decreased size of capillaries, hyperplasia of Hofbauer cells, disruption in the trophoblasts layer, and cell agglutination associated to with ZIKV infection of placental tissue. ZIKV infection was mostly localized to the trophoblast layer. There was a significant decrease in the expression of CSTB, RAGE and AXLCSTB, RAGE and AXL expression in ZIKV positive placenta. This downregulation can impair immune responses and facilitate virus penetration into the placenta. Results are consistent with our previous studies and literature of on ZIKV infection by activation ofng Inflammasome and Pyroptosis through caspase 1 upregulation and affecting the cellular structure, tissue remodeling, and cell differentiation by upregulation of tubulin beta and heat shock protein 27.

The difference of placental fibroblast between normal pregnancy and preeclampsia

Project description:Fibrosis are known as one of the characteristic pathological findings of placenta in preeclampsia (PE). The mechanism underlying tissue injury when placental stroma is exposed to hypoxia and inflammatory stimulation is unclear. We focused on the relationship between pathogenesis of PE and placental fibrosis, and investigated the changes of fibrosis related factors (FRFs) in placental stroma. The mRNA levels of fibrosis related factors in PE were higher than those in normal pregnancy (NP). Those under hypoxia and by TGF-β stimulation were more prominent in PE compared with NP. The contraction rate of PE had significantly higher than that of NP. The significant elevation of plasma level of TGF-β in PE was indicated compared with those in NP.

E12.5 CD9+ Mouse Placental Trophoblast Microarray, Wild-type vs c-Met KO

Project description:The placenta serves as the structural interface for nutrient and waste exchange for proper fetal development. Although defects in placental function result in various placental disorders, molecular mechanisms orchestrating placental development and function are poorly understood. Gene targeting studies have shown that Hgf or c-Met KO embryos exhibit growth retardation and markedly smaller size of the placenta, and die by E14.5. Stem/progenitor cells in various tissues express c-Met and they participate in morphogenesis and tissue repair. Thus, we hypothesized that the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway is essential for the emergence, proliferation, and/or differentiation of putative stem/precursor cells of labyrinth trophoblasts at the midgestation stage. To examine the downstream mechanisms of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway that regulate placental labyrinth development, we performed microarray analysis and compared the transcriptional profiles of wild-type and c-Met g-KO placentas. The highly enriched gene ontology categories among the transcripts that were down-regulated in the mutant placentas were related to cell cycle, transcription, and placenta development. Surprisingly, the most highly enriched GO category among the up-regulated genes was immune response. Furthermore, genes classified as “unsaturated fatty acid metabolic process” were also significantly enriched among the up-regulated genes. This expression data suggested that HGF/c-Met signaling pathway positively regulates progression of cell cycle and transcription of placenta specific genes, and negatively regulates inflammatory reaction and fatty acids synthesis in the trophoblasts, thereby coordinating many critical cellular processes in the placenta. Freshly harvested mouse placental trophoblast was enriched for CD9 from wild -type and c-Met KO placenta with 2 independent biological replicates

Differentially expressed microRNAs revealed by molecular signatures of Preeclampsia and IUGR in human placenta

Project description:The placenta plays an important role as a regulator of fetal nutrition and growth throughout development and placental factors contribute to gestational abnormalities such as preeclampsia. This study describes the genome-wide gene expression profiles of a large (n=94) set of human placentas in order to uncover gene expression patterns (or molecular signatures) associated with preeclampsia and IUGR. Besides modulated modularity clustering and pathway analysis, a set of candidate miRNAs were predicted by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) based on differentially expressed genes. A case-control study was conducted to examine the expression patterns of these candidate miRNAs in human placentas 35 IUGR (including 8 technical repeats for batch effect), 19 preeclamptic and 40 control placentas included in this study were collected during the years of 2004-2008 and hybridized in two batches to microarrays. Samples were randomized across arrays to control for array and batch variability.
