RNA-seq reveals differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs and their associated functional network in HTR-8/Svneo cells under hypoxic conditions.

Abstract

Placental hypoxia is hazardous to maternal health as well as fetal growth and development. Preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction are common pregnancy problems, and one of the causes is placental hypoxia. Placental hypoxia is linked to a number of pregnancy illnessesv. To investigate their potential function in anoxic circumstances, we mimicked the anoxic environment of HTR-8/Svneo cells and performed lncRNA and circRNA studies on anoxic HTR-8/Svneo cells using high-throughput RNA sequencing. The miRNA target genes were predicted by integrating the aberrant expression of miRNAs in the placenta of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction, and a ceRNA network map was developed to conduct a complete transcriptomic and bioinformatics investigation of circRNAs and lncRNAs. The signaling pathways in which the genes were primarily engaged were predicted using GO and KEGG analyses. To propose a novel explanation for trophoblastic organism failure caused by lncRNAs and circRNAs in an anoxic environment.
