Abstract
Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The present study was primarily designed to determine the placental tissue AMH, Anti-Mullerian hormone Receptor II (AMHRII), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microRNA (miRNA) 26a/126/155/210 expressions and serum miRNA 26a/126/155/210 levels in patients with preeclampsia to examine their potential role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Placental tissue samples from patients with preeclampsia (n = 20) and control subjects (n = 20) were examined by immunohistochemical staining and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for AMH, AMHRII, VEGF mRNA expression levels and miRNA 26a/126/155/210 expressions. Serum levels of miRNA 26a/126/155/210 were measured by qPCR. Patients with preeclampsia had lower AMH/AMHRII immunostaining, particularly in syncytiotrophoblastic cells compared to control subjects (p < 0.05). The relative mRNA expressions of AMH/AMHRII were increased (1.535 ± 0.121 and 1.155 ± 0.049 fold, p < 0.0002 and p < 0.033, respectively) and the relative mRNA expression of VEGF was decreased (4.878 ± 0.331 fold, p < 0.0002) in patients with preeclampsia compared to control subjects. The miR-26a expression was increased and miR-126 expression was decreased in serum samples of patients with preeclampsia compared to control subjects (p < 0.0002). miR-155 and miR-210 expressions were increased in serum and placental tissue samples of patients with preeclampsia compared to control subjects (p < 0.0002). In conclusion, reduced placental tissue immunostaining of AMH/AMHRII along with increased AMH/AMHRII mRNA expressions may indicate posttranscriptional dysregulation. Robust increase in expressions of hypoxia/inflammation-related miRNAs particularly miR-155 and miR-210 might have a role in this mechanistic pathway. Increased serum levels of miR 26a, 155 and 210 are potential early diagnostic markers for preeclampsia.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnic & Histochemistry (formerly Stain technology) is the
official publication of the Biological Stain Commission. The journal has been in continuous publication since 1926.
Biotechnic & Histochemistry is an interdisciplinary journal that embraces all aspects of techniques for visualizing biological processes and entities in cells, tissues and organisms; papers that describe experimental work that employs such investigative methods are appropriate for publication as well.
Papers concerning topics as diverse as applications of histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cytochemical probes, autoradiography, light and electron microscopy, tissue culture, in vivo and in vitro studies, image analysis, cytogenetics, automation or computerization of investigative procedures and other investigative approaches are appropriate for publication regardless of their length. Letters to the Editor and review articles concerning topics of special and current interest also are welcome.
