Abstract

The deficient placental blood perfusion caused by the attenuated infiltration of trophoblast cells is a key factor in the occurrence of preeclampsia (PE). Furthermore, the long noncoding (lnc)RNA SNHG12 (small nucleolar RNA host gene 12) can promote the proliferation and metastasis of multiple tumor cells. However, whether lncRNA SNHG12 affects proliferation and metastasis of trophoblast cells is unclear. We examined the level of lncRNA SNHG12 in plasma and placenta of patients with PE and constructed trophoblast cells with overexpressed or knocked down SNHG12. CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays were used to detect alterations in proliferation, migration, and invasion of trophoblast cells. Western blotting was used to detect proteins related to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and cell cycle assays clarified cell cycle distribution. LncRNA SNHG12 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of trophoblast cells. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9, β-catenin, and vimentin were positively correlated with SNHG12, and expression of E-cadherin was negatively correlated with SNHG12. SNHG12 also promoted the transition of trophoblast cells from G0/G1 to S phase. Overall, lncRNA SN...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

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.
