Abstrakt: Background: : Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to be extensively involved in preeclampsia progression. At present, the role of circ_0007445 in preeclampsia progression is not clear.
Methods: A total of 30 preeclampsia patients and 30 normal pregnant women were recruited in our study. The function of trophoblast cells was explored to clarify the role and mechanism of circ_0007445 on the preeclampsia progression. The expression of circ_0007445, microRNA (miR)-4432 and high temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1) was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. The proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells were determined by cell counting kit 8 assay, EdU assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, and transwell assay. Protein expression was examined by western blot analysis. Dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay and RNA pull-down assay were used to assess RNA interaction relationships.
Results: Our data suggested that circ_0007445 had increased expression in preeclampsia patients. Knockdown of circ_0007445 enhanced trophoblast cell proliferation, migration and invasion. MiR-4432 was lowly expressed in preeclampsia patients, and it could be sponged by circ_0007445. MiR-4432 inhibitor overturned the promotion effects of circ_0007445 knockdown on trophoblast cell functions. HTRA1 was highly expressed in preeclampsia patients, and it could be targeted by miR-4432. HTRA1 overexpression could also reverse the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells promoted by miR-4432 mimic. In addition, circ_0007445 positively regulated HTRA1 through targeting miR-4432.
Conclusion: :Our results suggested that circ_0007445 facilitated the development of preeclampsia by suppressing trophoblast cell function through miR-4432/HTRA1 axis.
