Glucagon-like peptide-1 alleviates high-glucose-induced HTR8/SVneo inflammation and apoptosis in placental trophoblasts by miR-137 pathway / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the protective effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on the inflammatory damage induced by high glucose(HG) in placental trophoblasts HTR8/SVneo and its molecular mechanism.Methods:Trophoblasts HTR8/SVneo cells were cultured and divided into low glucose(LG) group treated with low glucose (5 mmol/L), HG group treated with high glucose (25 mmol/L), GLP-1 group treated with high glucose combined with GLP-1, miR-137+ GLP-1 group treated with high glucose combined with GLP-1 after the transfection of miR-137 mimic, miR-137 mimic group transfected with miR-137 mimic, negative control (NC) mimic group transfected with NC mimic, and miR-137 inhibitor group transfected with miR-137 inhibitor, NC inhibitor group transfected with NC inhibitor. Apoptotic rate, expression of miR-137 and IL-6 were measured.Results:The apoptotic rate and the expression levels of miR-137 and IL-6 in HG group were significantly higher than those in LG group. The apoptotic rate and the expression levels of miR-137 and IL-6 in GLP-1 group were significantly lower than those in HG group. The apoptotic rate and the expression levels of miR-137 and IL-6 in miR-137+ GLP-1 group were significantly higher than those in GLP-1 group. The apoptotic rate and the expression level of IL-6 in miR-137 mimic group were significantly higher than those of NC mimic group, the apoptotic rate and the expression level of IL-6 in miR-137 inhibitor group were significantly lower than those in the NC inhibitor group.Conclusion:GLP-1 is able to alleviate the inflammation injury of HTR8/SVneo induced by high glucose through the miR-137/IL-6 pathway.
