Research progress on regulatory network of competitive endogenous RNA in trophoblast biological behavior in preeclampsia / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Preeclampsia is a unique complication in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, but its pathogenesis remains unclear and the early diagnosis and treatment methods are yet to be perfect. Termination of pregnancy at the right time is the only way to prevent its deterioration and avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes. In recent years, with the in-depth research, non-coding RNAs has been found to be involved in many important physiological and pathological processes such as proliferation and apoptosis of trophoblast cells and these non-coding RNAs can regulate each other to form an intricate and competitive endogenous RNA regulatory network. This article will introduce the biological roles of non-coding RNAs in regulating the invasion and proliferation of trophoblast cells in patients with preeclampsia and possible regulatory relationship between non-coding RNAs. Furthermore, the potential clinical value of non-coding RNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for preeclampsia and therapeutic targets are also elaborated.
