Smoking is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Smoking-related epigenetic biomarkers may open new avenues to better quantify the adverse health effects smoking, understanding underlying mechanisms. We aimed evaluate clinical implications F2RL3 methylation, novel biomarker smoking exposure disclosed by recent genome-wide methylation studies.Blood DNA at (also known as PAR-4) was quantified in baseline samples 3588 participants aged 50-75 years large population-based prospective cohort...

Background: Histone lactylation, a novel epigenetic modification induced by hypoxia and lactate, plays an important role in regulating gene expression. However, the of histone lactylation pathogenesis preeclampsia remains unknown. Methods: Placentas from preeclamptic patients control pregnant women were collected for protein immunoassay to detect expression level two trophoblast cell lines used simulate effect on genes. Results: We found that lactate levels increased placentas. In vitro, was...

Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) have been reported as a promising effective treatment to repair tissue. Trophoblast dysfunction during pregnancy is significantly involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE). To understand how AD-MSCs regulated trophoblast function, we treated trophoblasts with AD-MSC-derived exosomes under hypoxic conditions. The markedly enhanced proliferation and autophagy. Furthermore, significant decrease EZH2 levels inactivation mTOR signaling...

Abstract Background Decidual macrophages (dMφ) are pivotal in maintaining maternal–fetal immune tolerance during normal pregnancy by expressing a range of immune-suppressive molecules, including CD73. It has been demonstrated that Toxoplasma gondii ( T . ) infection can impair dMφ function, potentially leading to adverse outcomes, through downregulation these inhibitory molecules. rhoptry protein 18 Tg ROP18), key virulence factor , is associated with the incapacitation host’s innate and...

Early-onset preeclampsia (EOS-PE) refers to that occurred before 34 gestation weeks. This study is conducted explore the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and pathogenesis of EOS-PE using proteomic strategy.To identify altering expressed proteins severe healthy pregnancies, enrichment mitochondria coupled with iTRAQ-based quantitative method performed. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) western blot are performed detect alteration changing expression proteins, confirmed accuracy...

Preeclampsia (PE) is a specific disorder of pregnancy with significant morbidity and mortality to the mother fetus. It has been reported that abnormal regulation trophoblast cells contributes development PE. LIM SH3 Protein 2 (LASP2) belongs nebulin protein family actin-binding broad biological functions. In this study, we evaluated role LASP2 in cells. Our results demonstrated was markedly up-regulated placentas patients Overexpression significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration,...

ABSTRACT: Aim: This study was performed to address the bone injury and early molecular responses of obstructive nephropathy induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice. Methods: The male mice were subjected (UUO, n = 10) or sham operation ( 10). All killed on day 7 after surgical operation. Hematoxylin eosin tartate‐resistant acid phosphatase staining paraffin‐embedded sections. Expression genes proteins analyzed reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting...

Preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy disorder that affects 5-7% of pregnant women, is among the primary causes for maternal and perinatal mortality. PE believed to be associated with insufficient invasion villous extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs), which hampers uterine spiral artery remodeling finally induces PE. But mechanism responsible reduction trophoblast remains unclear. In this study, placental tissues taken from healthy donors patients were used evaluate miR-326 expression; CCK8 colony...

Preeclampsia (PE) is associated with oxidative stress in the maternal circulation and placenta. This study aimed to determine if inhibition of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1) gives protection against stress-mediated trophoblast dysfunction.Plasma placenta samples were obtained from 106 women PE normal pregnancy (NP). Oxidized (oxLDL) soluble LOX-1 levels determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Placental expression was western blotting. Trophoblasts subjected...

Trophoblast dysfunction during pregnancy is fundamentally involved in preeclampsia. Several studies have revealed that human chorionic villous mesenchymal stem cells (CV-MSCs) could regulate trophoblasts function. To understand how trophoblast function, we treated with CV-MSC supernatant under hypoxic conditions. Treatment markedly enhanced proliferation and invasion augmented autophagy. Transcriptome pathway analyses of before after treatment JAK2/STAT3 signalling as an upstream regulator....

The pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) is associated with inflammation and endothelial damage. Ulinastatin (UTI) mainly inhibits proteolytic activity significantly reduces the release interleukin-6 (IL-6) tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) from macrophages. It also ameliorates vascular damage in pathological conditions. Hence, we investigated effects UTI a rat model PE induced using N(gamma)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME).Although inducing model, 5000 U/kg were injected daily....

Uterine leiomyomas are common clinical gynecological tumors, which a major health concern for many women. In the current study, we aimed to investigate effect of paclitaxel (PTX) on uterine leiomyomas. A mouse model was established by estradiol benzoate, followed treatment with increasing doses PTX. PTX showed no dose-limiting toxicity that affected survival mice, and able restore apoptosis level uterus tissues mice normal levels. this discovered played critical role in promoting leiomyomas,...
