This research investigates how Aurora kinase B (AURKB) functions in trophoblast cells when they are exposed to high levels of glucose during gestational diabetes. The findings from RT-qPCR and western blotting show that when in a high-glucose environment, AURKB expression increases in both the placenta and trophoblast cells of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. Additionally, when AURKB is silenced in high-glucose conditions, it leads to boosted proliferation of trophoblast cells and reduced inflammation. Knockdown of AURKB inhibits the expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway in high glucose (HG) environment. Knockdown of AURKB may ameliorate injury and inflammatory responses in HG-exposed trophoblast cell lines in part by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Exosomal-complement system activation in preeclampsia.

Aim: Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe pregnancy-related disorder characterized by hypertension and multi-organ failure, primarily affecting the maternal vasculature and placenta. The aim of this review is to explain the molecular mechanisms behind PE by investigating the relationship between exosome release and complement activation, which could provide insight into potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: This review analyzes existing literature on the role of the complement system and exosomes in the pathophysiology of PE.

Introduction: During early pregnancy, fetal placental tissue implants into maternal decidual tissue, forming a unique interface where maternal immune cells do not reject the invading fetal cells. Given the roles of Galectin-9 and Tim-3 in tumor immune regulation, studying their distribution and function at this interface may provide insights into recurrent pregnancy loss.
Methods: This study uses single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, and multiplex immunohistochemistry to examine the expression and localization of Galectin-9 and TIM-3.

Background And Importance: Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) a rare form of gestational trophoblastic disease, originates from intermediate trophoblastic cells and presents with nonspecific symptoms, complicating diagnosis. PSTT primarily affects women of childbearing age, but occurrences in perimenopausal women are exceptionally rare.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 54-year-old perimenopausal woman presenting with a two-month history of abnormal uterine bleeding.

IntroductionThe objective of this study was to explore the effect of KLF9 on oxidative stress (OS) and NLRP3-mediated inflammation in preeclampsia (PE).MethodsLipopolysaccharide (LPS)+adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced HTR-8/SVneo cells were used as an PE inflammation cell model. shRNA was used to interfere with KLF9 expression (sh-KLF9) to assess the transfection efficiency and the effect of KLF9 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

Background: In the human placenta, we have detected the MPs by Raman microspectroscopy analysis and, for the first time, with transmission electron microscopy. MPs fragments have been localized in different compartments of placental tissue, free in the cytoplasm and within organelles like lysosomes. Moreover, their presence has been correlated with ultrastructural alterations of some cell organelles, typical of metabolic stress, mainly dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum and numerous swollen electrodense mitochondria, as well as signs derived from involuting organelles.
