Elevated levels of hypoxia-inducible microRNA-210 in pre-eclampsia: new insights into molecular mechanisms for the disease
Pre-eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Insufficient uteroplacental oxygenation is believed to be responsible for the disease. However, what molecular events involve in hypoxic responses and how they affect placental development remain unclear. Recently, miRNAs have emerged as a new class of molecules in response to hypoxia. We show here that t...
متن کاملHypoxia-inducible regulation of placental BOK expression.
BOK (BCL-2-related ovarian killer) is a member of the pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family that is highly expressed in the human placenta. BOK excess causes increased trophoblast autophagy and apoptosis in pre-eclampsia, a pathological condition of hypoxia and oxidative stress. In the present study, we identified an HRE (hypoxia-response element) at the junction of exon-1 and intron-1 (+229 to +279) in t...
متن کاملMaternal adaptation to high-altitude pregnancy: an experiment of nature--a review.
A long and productive history of studies at high altitude has demonstrated that chronic hypoxia plays a key role in the aetiology of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and pre-eclampsia. Susceptibility to altitude-associated IUGR varies among high-altitude populations in relation to their duration of altitude exposure, with multigenerational residents demonstrating one-third the birth weigh...
متن کاملHepatic hypoxia-inducible factor-2 down-regulates hepcidin expression in mice through an erythropoietin-mediated increase in erythropoiesis.
BACKGROUND Iron metabolism, regulated by the iron hormone hepcidin, and oxygen homeostasis, dependent on hypoxia-inducible factors, are strongly interconnected. We previously reported that in mice in which both liver hypoxia-inducible factors-1 and -2 are stabilized (the hepatocyte von Hippel-Lindau knockout mouse model), hepcidin expression was strongly repressed and we hypothesized that hypox...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effect of sublethal concentrations of endosulfan on gene expression of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1 α and HIF-2 α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the Persian sturgeon fingerlings (Acipenser persicus)
In this study, the effects of sublethal concentrations of the Endosulfan on gene expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1 α, HIF-2 α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the gill tissue of Persian sturgeon fingerling (Acipenser persicus) were studied. A total of 360 sturgeons (average weight of 2 ± 0.12 g) exposed to concentrations of 10, 20 and 40 micrograms per liter and VEG...
