Effect of interaction between long non-coding RNA malat1 and microrna-146a on trophoblast function in preeclampsia

摘要

Objective:To explore the interaction of long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) with microRNA (miRNA)-146a on the effect and mechanism of preeclampsia (PE) trophoblast function.Methods: Choriocarcinoma cell line JEG-3 were cultured in vitro, and JEG-3 cells were transfected into four groups, namely Control, sh-MALAT1, miR-146a-5p inhibitor and sh-MALATI+miR-146a-5p inhibitor group. The sh-MALAT1 group was transfected with sh-MALAT1, the miR-146a-5p inhibitor group was transfected with miR-146a-5p inhibitor, the sh-MALAT1+inhibitor group was co-transfected with sh-MALAT1 and miR-146a-5p inhibitor, and Isometric empty vector was added in to the Control group. The mRNA level was detectedby qPCR;the target relationship between MALAT1 and miR-146a-5p was predicted by bioinformation;the proliferation ability of JEG-3 cells was detected by CCK8 experiment after the four groups of plasmids were transfected;Western blot was used to detect the expression of protein in JEG-3 cells after different treatments.Results: sh-MALATl significantly decreased sh-MALATl and increased the mRNA level of miR-146a-5p in the choriocarcinoma cell line JEG-3. sh-MALATl inhibited the proliferation of JEG-3 cells, miR-146a-5p inhibitor promoted the proliferation of JEG-3 cells and weakened the effect of sh-MALATl production. At the same time, sh-MALATl attenuates the expression of TRAF6, VEGR, and MMP2 proteins in trophoblast cells, while miR-146a-5p inhibitor can enhance its expression and reduce the inhibitory effect of sh-MALATl.Conclusion: MALATl and miR-146a can interact to affect the biological behavior of trophoblast cells in preeclampsia.
