Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystemic syndrome of pregnancy that seriously affects maternal and infant healthcare. Here, we identified PADI1 as an abnormally highly expressed gene in PE and investigated its effect on trophoblast cells. According to the analysis results from GEO datasets GSE186257 and GSE143953, PADI1 is highly expressed in the placental samples of PE patients. PADI1 knockdown promoted the growth and migration of trophoblast cells. HTR-8 and Swan-71 cells were treated with 200 nmol/L TG to simulate ERS in vitro. PADI1 knockdown inhibited TG-induced ERS and apoptosis. Mechanistically, PADI1 knockdown downregulated ERS-related factors including IRE1α, XBP1, CHOP, ATF6 and GRP78. The FAK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway has been identified as a downstream target of PADI1 in trophoblast cells. Inhibition of FAK/ERK1/2 effectively hindered the enhancement of cell activity by PADI1 knockdown in TG-treated trophoblast cells. In conclusion, PADI1 was highly expressed in the placental tissues of PE patients. PADI1 knockdown inhibited the ERS-induced apoptosis in trophoblast cells through FAK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway, suggesting the potential role of PADI1 in PE prevention and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
