ABSTRACT
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is related to the dysfunction of extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs), but the comprehensive mechanisms remain largely unexplored. We analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), bulk RNA sequencing and microarray datasets obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to explore the hub genes in the mechanisms of RM. We identified 1724 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in EVTs from the RM, and they were all expressed along the trajectory of EVTs. These DEGs were associated with hypoxia and glucose metabolism. Single-cell Regulatory Network Inference and Clustering (SCENIC) analysis revealed that E2F transcription factor (E2F) 8 (E2F8) was a key transcription factor for these DEGs. And the expression of ENO1 can be positively regulated by E2F8 via RNA sequencing analysis. Subsequently, we performed immunofluorescence assay (IF), plasmid transfection, western blotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and transwell assays for validation experiments. We found that the expression of alpha-Enolase 1 (ENO1) was lower in the placentas of RM. Importantly, E2F8 can transcriptionally regulate the expression of ENO1 to promote the invasion of trophoblast cells by inhibiting secreted frizzled-related protein 1/4 (SFRP1/4) to activate Wnt signaling pathway. Our results suggest that ENO1 can promote trophoblast invasion via an E2F8-dependent manner, highlighting a potential novel target for the physiological mechanisms of RM.
