RESUMO
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) affects about 1% of couples; however, the etiologies of half of the cases remain unknown. P53, a negative cell cycle regulator, has been found to modulate the expression of several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and overexpressed p53 has been observed in RM patients. To investigate the relationship between p53 and lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of RM, we detected the expression of p53 and six candidate lncRNAs in the villous from 27 RM patients and paired healthy controls. We found the level of NEAT1 and MALAT1 was reduced significantly and only the MALAT1 level negatively correlated with p53 protein level. By luciferase assay, we confirmed that p53 repress MALAT1 expression through directly binding to the promoter region. Functional study by using human trophoblast cell HTR-8/SVneo, we observed that p53 overexpression lead to decreased cells proliferation, migration, invasion and increased apoptosis. Meanwhile, MALAT1 overexpression partially restored these function of p53 overexpression.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is three or more times of consecutive spontaneous loss of pregnancy. The underlying cause is complicated and the etiology of over 50% of RPL patients is unclear. Metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT-1), a multiple lncRNA functions as key regulators of diverse cellular processes. In this study, we found a reduced MALAT1 level in the villus samples of 36 RPL patients. Predicted by bioinformatics tool and confirmed by dual luciferase assay, we identified that MALAT1 directly interacts with miRNAs. Subsequent functional study in HTR-8/SVneo and HUVEC cells indicated that MALAT1 modulates the cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion via directly interact with miR-383, miR-15, miR-205 and miR-375. By modulating the VEGFA expression, MALAT1 controls the capillary formation of HUVEC cells. In conclusion, MALAT1 as a functional lncRNA controls cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and modulates blood vessel formation. Down regulated MALAT1 induced disordered cross-talk between embryo and mother is one of the factor contributes to the pathogenesis of RPL.
