چکیده

The expression of KiSS-1, MMP-9 and MMP-2 mRNAs and proteins was studied in placentas of women with preeclampsia (PE, n=47) and women of normal pregnancy (NP; n=30). In addition, KiSS-1 mRNA expression as well as cell growth, proliferation and invasion were examined in JAR cells (human trophoblast cell line) transfected with pcDNA3-KiSS-1vector. Expression of KiSS-1 mRNA and protein was higher (p<0.05) in women with PE compared with that of NP women. In contrast, expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2 was lower (p<0.05) in PE than in NP women. KiSS-1 mRNA was detected in JAR cells successfully transfected with pcDNA3-KiSS-1 gene (JAR-K1, JAR-K2, JAR-K3). KiSS-1 mRNA was not detected in JAR cells transfected with pcDNA3 gene (JAR-P1, JAR-P2) and non-transfected JAR cells. No difference (p>0.05) was observed in cell growth among these three cell types. Invasion ability was significantly lower (p<0.01) in JAR-K1, JAR-K2 and JAR-K3 cells compared to JAR-P cells and non-transfected JAR cells. Overexpression of KiSS-1 and insufficient expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in placenta were demonstrated in women with PE. The data suggests that KiSS-1 gene plays an important role in inhibiting trophoblast invasion during placental development.

Elevated Expression of KiSS-1 in Placenta of Chinese Women with Early-Onset Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia (PE) is a heterogeneous syndrome affecting 2% to 8% of all pregnancies and is the world's leading cause of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. In many cases of PE, shallow trophoblast invasion results in inappropriate maternal spiral artery remodeling and impaired placental function. Multiple genes have been implicated in trophoblast invasion, among which are KiSS-1 and GPR...

Inconformity of CXCL3 Plasma Level and Placenta Expression in Preeclampsia and Its Effect on Trophoblast Viability and Invasion

As a member of the chemokine family, CXCL3 was previously known to participate in many pathophysiological events. However, whether CXCL3 stimulates trophoblast invasion as a key process of preeclampsia pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate this hypothesis and determine the effect of CXCL3 on the first trimester trophoblast. Seventy gravidas we...

Effects of simvastatin, rosuvastatin and pravastatin on soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and soluble endoglin (sENG) secretion from human umbilical vein endothelial cells, primary trophoblast cells and placenta

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia is associated with the placental release of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and soluble endoglin (sENG). These anti-angiogenic factors cause hypertension and multi-organ injury. Pravastatin decreases placental secretion of sFlt-1 in vitro and is currently being examined in clinical trials as a potential treatment for preeclampsia. However, it is possible that...

Downregulated miR-195 Detected in Preeclamptic Placenta Affects Trophoblast Cell Invasion via Modulating ActRIIA Expression

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific syndrome manifested by on-set of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Abnormal placenta development has been generally accepted as initial cause of the disorder. Recently, miR-195 was found to be down-regulated in preeclamptic placentas compared with normal pregnant ones, indicating possible association of this small mole...
