ジャーナル Placenta
Abstract INTRODUCTION:Adequate extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion is essential for successful placentation. Although miR-520c-3p plays an important role in CD44-mediated invasion in cancer cells, there is little information on whether miR-520c-3p is involved in the regulatory mechanisms of CD44-mediated EVT invasion.
METHODS:We screened first trimester trophoblast cells and trophoblast cell lines for expression of miR-520c-3p using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The cell invasion assay was performed using EVT cell lines, HTR8/SVneo and HChEpC1b, to investigate the capability of suppressing EVT invasion by miR-520c-3p. Laser microdissection analysis was then used to determine whether miR-520c-3p was present in the first trimester decidua. Finally, the possibility of chorionic villous trophoblast (CVT)-EVT communication via exosomal miR-520c-3p was determined using an in vitro model based on BeWo exosomes and the EVT cell lines as recipient cells.
RESULTS:The miR-520c-3p level was significantly downregulated in EVT cell lines and EVTs. Cell invasion was significantly inhibited in miR-520c-3p-overexpressing cell lines, involving a significant reduction of CD44. Laser microdissection analysis showed that miR-520c-3p in the periarterial area of the decidua was significantly higher than that in the non-periarterial area. Using an in vitro model system, BeWo exosomal miR-520c-3p was internalized into the EVT cells with subsequently reduced cell invasion via CD44 repression.
CONCLUSIONS:EVT invasion is synergistically enhanced by the reciprocal expression of endogenous miR-520c-3p and CD44. The present study supports a novel model involving a placenta-associated miRNA function in cell-cell communication in which CVT exosomal miR-520c-3p regulates cell invasion by targeting CD44 in EVTs.
