Expression of Mas1 receptor in human placenta and its effect on the function of trophoblast cells in pre-eclampsia patients / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective: To investigate the expression change of the Mas1 receptor in the placenta of healthy pregnant women during different gestation periods, analyze the expression level of the Mas1 receptor in the placenta of pre-eclampsia (PE) patients, and its biological function in trophoblast cells. Methods: Placental villous tissues were collected from normal pregnant women in early, mid and late pregnancy. Human trophoblast stem cells were isolated and cultured from early pregnancy villous tissues. The expression of the Mas1 receptor was detected by fluorescence immunoassay and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. In a case-control study, patients with full-term PE were selected as the case group and healthy women with full-term pregnancy were selected as the control group. Placental villus tissues were collected from both groups. Immunofluorescence chemistry and immunoprotein blotting were used to study the changes in Mas1 receptor expression in PE. Mas1 receptor agonists and blockers induced HTR8/Svneo cells and BeWo cells, and the effects of the Mas1 receptor on the proliferation and migration of trophoblast cells were detected by the CCK8 proliferation test and scratch test. Results: Eight cases were included in early pregnancy, seven cases in mid-pregnancy and six cases in late pregnancy. Mas1 receptors in normal placental villi tissue were mainly expressed in human trophoblast stem cell membranes and cytoplasm, and the expression of Mas1 receptor mRNA in villi tissue was significantly higher in late pregnancy than in mid-pregnancy. There were 24 cases included in the case group and 12 cases in the control group. Mas1 receptor expression in placental villi was significantly lower in the case group compared to the control group; Activation/inhibition of the Mas1 receptor had no significant effect on the proliferation of HTR8/Svneo cells and BeWo cells. Activated Mas1 receptor had no significant effect on the migration ability of HTR8/Svneo cells. Conclusion: Mas1 receptors are expressed in placental villous tissue and their expression varies with gestation. Mas1 receptor expression is reduced in PE patients, but it does not affect the value-added or migratory function of trophoblast cells.
