ABSTRACT
Abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is associated with the dysfunctions of human trophoblast cells and the occurrence of miscarriage (abnormal early embryo loss). BBC3/PUMA (BCL2 binding component 3) plays significant roles in regulation of cell apoptosis. However, whether specific lncRNAs might regulate BBC3 in trophoblast cells and further induce apoptosis and miscarriage remains completely unclear. Through screening, we identified a novel lnc-HZ12, which was significantly highly expressed in villous tissues of recurrent miscarriage (RM) patients relative to their healthy control (HC) group. Lnc-HZ12 suppressed chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) degradation of BBC3, promoted trophoblast cell apoptosis, and was associated with miscarriage. In mechanism, lnc-HZ12 downregulated the expression levels of chaperone molecules HSPA8 and LAMP2A in trophoblast cells. Meanwhile, lnc-HZ12 (mainly lnc-HZ12-SO2 region in F2 fragment) and HSPA8 competitively bound with the 169RVLYNL174 patch on BBC3, which prevented BBC3 from interactions with HSPA8 and impaired the formation of BBC3-HSPA8-LAMP2A complex for CMA degradation of BBC3. Thus, lnc-HZ12 upregulated the BBC3-CASP9-CASP3 pathway and induced trophoblast cell apoptosis. In villous tissues, lnc-HZ12 was highly expressed, CMA degradation of BBC3 was suppressed, and the apoptosis levels were higher in RM vs HC villous tissues, all of which were associated with miscarriage. Interestingly, knockdown of murine Bbc3 could efficiently suppress placental apoptosis and alleviate miscarriage in a mouse miscarriage model. Taken together, our results indicated that lnc-HZ12 and BBC3 played important roles in trophoblast cell apoptosis and miscarriage and might act as attractive targets for miscarriage treatment.Abbreviation 7-AAD 7-aminoactinomycin D; BaP benzopyrene; BBC3/PUMA BCL2 binding component 3; ChIP chromatin immunoprecipitation; CHX cycloheximide; CMA chaperone-mediated autophagy; CQ chloroquine; DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide; GAPDH glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; HC healthy control; HSPA8 heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 8; IP immunoprecipitation; LAMP2A lysosomal associated membrane protein 2; LncRNA long non-coding RNA; mRNA messenger RNA; MT mutant-type; NC negative control; NSO nonspecific oligonucleotide; PARP1 poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1; RIP RNA immunoprecipitation; RM recurrent miscarriage; TBP TATA-box binding protein; WT wild-type.
