Popis: Objective: To investigate pyroptosis in the trophoblast cells HTR-8/Svneo induced by TET2 in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). Methods: HTR-8/Svneo cells were treated with vehicle (0 mg/L) and 50 mg/L oxLDL for 24 h. The effects of oxLDL on TET2 expression in HTR-8/Svneo cells were detected by Western blot. Knockdown of TET2 was performed in HTR-8/Svneo cells using si-TET2. CCK8, Transwell, and wound healing assays were used to detect the effect of TET2 knockdown on the proliferation, cell cycle, migration, and invasion of HTR-8/Svneo cells, respectively. Western blot was used to quantify the expression levels of the pyroptosis proteins GSDMD and caspase-1 in si-TET2 treated cells. Results: oxLDL downregulates TET2 expression in a concentration-dependent manner. TET2 knockdown inhibits HTR-8/Svneo invasion and migration but promotes cell proliferation. Western blot results showed that TET2 knockdown upgregulated the expression of GSDMD and caspase-1. Conclusion: oxLDL induces pyroptosis of HTR-8/Svneo by downregulating TET2 expression, resulting in decreased trophoblast invasion and migration. These data suggest that TET2-induced pyroptosis play a critical role in gestational pathologies, such as preeclampsia. Further studies can clarify the mechanisms of this process and elucidate potential preventive and therapeutic targets.
