Abstract

Little is known about the role of long non-coding RNA SNHG7-1 in the development of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). The aim of the present study was to investigate the levels of SNHG7-1 in villi of RSA, and explore its underlying mechanism. The qRT-PCR assay SNHG7-1 showed that the expression level was downregulated in RSA and HTR-8/SVneo cells. In addition, the growth rate of cells transfected with si-SNHG7-1 was significantly decreased compared to that with si-NC, which was reversed by miR-34a targeted with 3'-UTR. Moreover, miR-34a suppressed the expression of WNT1 by binding with the 3'-UTR, which interact with WNT1 to inhibit the proliferation of cells. Furthermore, miR-34a inhibitor rescued the dysregulation of WNT1, p-β-catenin, β-catenin, cyclinD and c-Myc by si-SNHG7A-1. In short, the current study suggests SNHG7-1 plays as an important role in RSA progression targeted by miR-34a via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, providing a novel insight for the pathogenesis and underlying therapeutic target for RSA.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
