Abstract
Background and purpose: MicroRNA-125b-5p (miR-125b-5p) is downregulated in patients with gestational hypertension signs. However, the role of miR-125b-5p in pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) remains unknown.
Methods: The human placental microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) have undergone hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) treatment to establish PIH cellular model. Rats were performed with reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) operation to establish PIH animal model.
Results: MiR-125b-5p promoted viability while inhibited the apoptosis of H/R-treated HPMECs by downregulating BMF. MiR-125b-5p alleviated hypertensive symptoms and improved pregnancy outcomes in RUPP rats.
Conclusion: MiR-125b-5p ameliorates H/R-induced HPMEC dysfunction and attenuates RUPP-induced hypertension in pregnant rats by downregulating BMF.
期刊介绍:
Hypertension in Pregnancy is a refereed journal in the English language which publishes data pertaining to human and animal hypertension during gestation. Contributions concerning physiology of circulatory control, pathophysiology, methodology, therapy or any other material relevant to the relationship between elevated blood pressure and pregnancy are acceptable. Published material includes original articles, clinical trials, solicited and unsolicited reviews, editorials, letters, and other material deemed pertinent by the editors.
