3.Effect of oxidative stress on human Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome related protein 2 expression in placental trophoblasts in preeclampsia
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2013;16(7):422-428
Objective To explore the effect of oxidative stress on human Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome related protein 2 (WAVE2) expression in placental trophoblasts in women with preeclampsia.Methods (1) Twenty women with preeclampsia and twenty-three normal term pregnant women,delivered from August 15,2011 to February 23,2012 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University,were recruited and divided into preeclampsia group and control group.Placenta samples were collected after cesarean section.The localization and distribution of WAVE2 in placenta was studied by immunohistochemistry.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were employed to assay the WAVE2 mRNA and protein levels.Tissue homogenates was applied to determine the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS).The correlation between ROS levels and WAVE2 was also analyzed.(2) An in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was utilized to simulate ischemia/reperfusion injury to placental trophoblasts.The HTR-8/ SVneo cells (immortalized human first trimester extravillous trophoblast cells) were pre-incubated overnight,after exposure to H/R or normoxic conditions for 48 hours.Flow cytometry was employed to analyze intracellular ROS level.Meanwhile,Transwell assay was utilized to analyze the invasion and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells.The location and expression of WAVE2 in trophoblasts was evaluated by cell immunofluorescence and Western blot.Statistical differences between the two groups were evaluated by independent t-tests.Pearson's correlation coefficient test was used for correlation analysis.Results (1)Compared with the control group,preeclampsia group had significantly higher 24-hour proteinuria [(1.96±0.24) g vs (0.08±0.05) g,t=19.436,P<0.05],systolic blood pressure [(154 ± 13) mm Hg vs (98 ±11) mm Hg,t=11.324,P<0.05] and diastolic blood pressure [(105±14) mm Hgvs (69±8) mm Hg,t=9.612,P<0.05].In addition,the placental weight and birth weight of infants in preeclampsia group were significantly reduced as compared to the control group [(432±53) g vs (536±67) g,(2446± 187) g vs (3207± 233) g,t=14.562 and 16.307,allP<0.05)].The WAVE2 mRNA level (0.28±0.07 vs 1.01±0.02,t=12.747,P<0.05) and the WAVE2 protein levels (0.63±0.08 vs 1.34±0.19,t=11.648,P<0.05) were also significantly decreased in preeclampsia groups.The level of ROS in placenta in the preeclampsia group was significantly higher than in control group [(144.22 ± 12.32) nmol/(mg · prot) vs (75.17 ± 8.71) nmol/(mg · prot),t=20.467,P<0.05].There was significant negative correlation between ROS level and WAVE2 protein expression in preeclamptic placenta (r =-0.726,P =0.000).(2) In vitro study showed that,the levels of ROS in normoxia group and H/R group was (82.9±5.8)% and (155.6±8.1)%,(t=12.747,P<0.05).Compared with normoxia condition,decreased cell invasion and migration were found in HTR-8/SVneo cells in H/R group [(51.9 ± 3.3)% and (58.4 ±4.2)% respectively,t=11.034 and 13.839,P<0.05].Results from the cell immunofluorescence showed that WAVE2 protein located in the cytoplasm of HTR-8/SVneo cells,and the expression of WAVE2 protein was significant decreased in HTR-8/SVneo cells after exposure to H/R for 48 h (0.37±0.05 vs 0.76±0.06,t=8.631,P<0.05).Conclusions Excessive oxidative stress in preeclamptic placentas was correlated with the decreased expression of WAVE2.H/R-induced oxidative stress could decrease WAVE2 expression,which may contribute to impaired trophoblast invasion and migration in preeclampsia.

Melanin is a kind of biopolymer, composed of a complex quinine/indole-quinone derived mixture which is produced in melanocytes from tyrosine. More than 100 genes related to melanin deposition have been found in mouse. Slc24a5 (solute carrier family 24, member 5) is a novel gene first cloned in zebrafish. And it has been confirmed that the Slc24a5 is involved in controlling the melanin deposition in zebrafish. Here the full length of the chicken slc24a5 mRNA sequence, its expression profile and a discussion of its relationship to melanin deposition in chicken were reported. Chicken Slc254a5 has a CDS of 1 269bp, predicting a protein of 423 amino acids which is about 80 amino acids shorter than in human and mouse. It has 9 exons and 8 introns and spans more than 1lkb of genome sequence. The quantitative real-time PCR confirmed that the chicken Slc24a5 was highly expressed in the eye of White Leghorn and Beijing Fatty Chickens, and in the eye, skin and muscle of Silky. The relative expression in Silky eye is more than two times that of White Leghorn. The relative expression in Silky skin is about 70 times that of White Leghorn and about 15 times that of Beijing Fatty Chickens. The relative expression in Silky muscle is about 15 times that of White Leghorn and about 3 times that of Beijing Fatty Chickens. And the expression result is in accordance with the melanocyte and melanin deposition in these tissues.
