Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of decidua samples from unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion patients and controls with induced abortions. The Infinium Human Methylation 850K BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 853,307 CpGs in decidua samples . Samples included 2 normal pregnant women (non-medical reasons for abortion) and 4 unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion patients.

Project description:Perfect fetal development is a solid foundation for successful fertility, in which the abundant natural killer (NK) cells in the decidua tissue at the maternal-fetal interface play an important role during the first trimester. The functional subsets and transcriptional regulation mechanisms of decidual NK (dNK) cells remain poorly understood. Here, we identified CD49a+PBX1+ dNK cells as a unique subset of NK cells that promote fetal development in both human and mice. PBX1 drove the transcription of key functional molecules pleiotrophin and osteoglycin that promote fetal development through direct promoter binding. In patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA), decreased expression of PBX1 and PBX1(G21S) mutation correlated with fetal growth restriction and pregnancy failure. Inactivation of Pbx1 in mouse NK cells caused impaired fetal development due to a decrease in growth promoting factors. Our observations reveal the molecular regulation mechanism of CD49a+PBX1+ dNK cells promoting fetal development, and indicate that impaired PBX1 in dNK cells may serve as pathogenesis and biomarker of URSA.
Project description:Genetic profiles of mouse placenta were examined especially at the implantation sites of causing spontaneous abortion at day 14.5 of pregnancy. There is a number of the suffered patients from the recurrent spontaneous abortion by unknown causes. It is an important process to understand genetic profiles in the abortion placentas for the investigation of specific causes to induce rejection of normal embryos from the maternal attack. Our study was carried out on the laboratory mice targeted spontaneous abortion to approximate human disease models.
Project description:We profiled the transcriptomes of about 110000 single cells from 16 human first-trimester decidual and villi samples from 5 normal samples and 3 recurrent miscarriage (RM) samples. Each decidual and villi samples was collected from the same patient. The cellular composition revealed five major subsets of immune cells including NK, T cell, macrophage, monocytes and B cell in the maternal fetal interface. We used the marker gene of macrophages to establish the diagnosis and treatment model of unexplained recurrent abortion, in order to explore the relationship between immune cells and unexplained recurrent abortion.
Project description:Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), defined as the failure of two or more consecutive clinical pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation, affects approximately 1% of couples attempting to conceive. However, the underlying mechanisms of 50% of cases are unknown. The decidua plays a crucial role during pregnancy, which can provide a delicate balance between immune tolerance and defense to maintain the pregnancy.We performed RNA-seq to identify gene expression alterations in the deciduas of RSA patients and controls. RNA-seq was done using TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation. Briefly, intact RNA was fragmented, end repaired, adapter ligation and PCR amplified following illumina protocol. Libraries were sequencing by illumins Hiseq 2000. After quality control, sequence data were processed with STAR to generate read alignments with hg19. Raw read counts for annotated genes were obtained with featureCounts with default settings, normalized and analyzed using DEseq2.
