Objective To investigate the causal relationship between abnormal placental lipid metabolism and trophoblast dysfunction in patients with preeclampsia(PE),and to explore the regulatory effects of PPARγ on trophoblast function under hypoxic conditions.Methods Placental tissues were collected from 30 patients with PE and 30 individuals with normal pregnancies at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between October 2020 and November 2021 for the analysis of lipid deposition.A rat model of PE was established,comprising a sham-operated(Sham)group and a reduced uterine perfusion pressure(Rupp)group,with six rats in each group(n=12 total).Human trophoblast cells(HTR-8/SVneo)were cultured in vitro and randomly assigned to four experimental groups:normoxic control,hypoxia,hypoxia+PPARγ agonist(Rosiglitazone),and hypoxia+PPARγ antagonist(T0070907).The expression levels of lipid metabolism-related genes and transcription factors(FASN,FABP4,PPARγ,LXRα)were assessed using RT-qPCR.Western blotting was performed to determine the protein expression levels of PPARγ.Cell migration and invasion capacities were evaluated using scratch wound healing and Transwell assays,respectively.Results Placental lipid deposition in the PE group was significantly higher than that in the control group,particularly in the Rupp model mice(P<0.001).Under hypoxic conditions,the expression levels of FASN and FABP4 were upregulated in trophoblast cells(P<0.001),whereas the expression of PPARγ and LXRα was downregulated(P<0.001).Furthermore,treatment with the PPARγ antagonist T0070907 exacerbated the inhibitory effects of hypoxia on cell function(P<0.001),significantly reducing cell invasion and migration capacity(P<0.001).Additional siRNA-mediated knockdown experiments confirmed that PPARγ deficiency further aggravated hypoxia-induced impairments in cell migration and invasion,and this detrimental effect could not be reversed by Rosiglitazone.Conclusions Abnormal placental lipid metabolism in PE is closely linked to PPARγ-mediated enhancement of lipid synthesis and metabolic dysregulation under hypoxic conditions,which may subsequently impair trophoblast invasion and migration.

Objective:To explore the effects of HIF-1α on the growth of transplanted oral cancer and on the expression of CEACAM1 and VEGF-C in the tumor.Methods:Nude mouse model of oral cancer was established by transplantation of Tca8113 cells respectively treated by HIF-1α siRNA and negative control siRNA subcutaneously into right axillary region of nude mice.3 weeks after transplantation the mice were sacrificed,the tumor volum and weight were measured.The tumor tissue was examined by ELISA method for the detection HIF-1α protein expression,by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot for the detection of mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α,CEACAM1 and VEGF-C respectively.Results:The volume and weight of the transplanted tumor in HIF-1 α siRNA group were significantly less than those in the control group(P＜0.05),CEACAM1 and VEGF-C mRNA and protein were down-regulate in HIF-1α siRNA group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:HIF-1α expression is positively related to the expression of CEACAM1 and VEGF-C in the regulation of oral tumor growth.
