The overexpression of HMGB1 at the maternal-fetal interface (MFI) is recognized as a significant factor in Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (URSA). This study aimed to investigate autophagy in the decidual tissues of URSA patients and to explore the relationship between HMGB1 and macrophage autophagy at the MFI in URSA.
Methods
Human decidual tissues were collected from 40 patients diagnosed with URSA and from 60 women undergoing active termination of pregnancy. Mouse models of pregnancy loss URSA and in vitro cellular models were created and then subjected to treatment with an HMGB1 inhibitor (aspirin) and an anti-HMGB1 antibody, respectively. Autophagy at the MFI was evaluated using western blot analysis, immunofluorescence assays, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Results
This study revealed a high expression of LC3B and a low expression of P62 in the decidual tissue of the URSA group. These findings were further corroborated through TEM. The localization of autophagy within macrophages indicated a significant enhancement of autophagy in the decidual macrophages of the URSA group. However, treatment with low-dose aspirin resulted in a reversal of protein expression and a reduction in autophagy. In in vitro experiments, recombinant HMGB1 was found to mediate autophagy of immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages, which could be inhibited by an anti-HMGB1 antibody.
Conclusion
This study first indicates that elevated levels of HMGB1 at the MFI trigger autophagy in macrophages, thereby promoting aseptic inflammation and contributing to the onset and progression of URSA. Furthermore, low-dose aspirin has been demonstrated to protect against URSA by inhibiting HMGB1, which in turn suppresses autophagy production.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
