Popis: Abnormal placental development is one of the main etiological factors for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Here, we show that LIN28A and LIN28B are significantly lower and lethal-7 (let-7) microRNAs (miRNAs) significantly higher in term human IUGR vs. normal placentas. We hypothesize that let-7 miRNAs regulate genes with known importance for human placental development [high-mobility group AT-hook 1 (HMGA1), transcriptional regulator Myc-like (c-myc), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), and Wnt family member 1 (WNT1)] by targeting the AT-rich interacting domain (ARID)-3B complex. ACH-3P cells with LIN28A and LIN28B knockout (DKOs) significantly increased let-7 miRNAs, leading to significantly decreased ARID3A, ARID3B, and lysine demethylase 4C (KDM4C). Similarly, Sw.71 cells overexpressing LIN28A and LIN28B (DKIs) significantly decreased let-7 miRNAs, leading to significantly increased ARID3A, ARID3B, and KDM4C. In ACH-3P cells, ARID3A, ARID3B, and KDM4C make a triprotein complex [triprotein complex comprising ARID3A, ARID3B, and KDM4C (ARID3B-complex)] that binds the promoter regions of HMGA1, c-MYC, VEGF-A, and WNT1. ARID3B knockout in ACH-3P cells disrupted the ARID3B-complex, leading to a significant decrease in HMGA1, c-MYC, VEGF-A, and WNT1. DKOs had a significant reduction, whereas DKIs had a significant increase in HMGA1, c-MYC, VEGF-A, and WNT1, potentially due to regulation by the ARID3B-complex. This is the first study showing regulation of let-7 targets in immortalized human trophoblast cells by the ARID3B-complex.-Ali, A., Anthony, R. V., Bouma, G. J., Winger, Q. A.
