Insight into the post-translational modifications in pregnancy and related complications†.

Successful pregnancy is dependent on a number of essential events, including embryo implantation, decidualization, and placentation. Failure of the above process may lead to pregnancy-related complications, including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth, and fetal growth restriction, may affect 15% of pregnancies, and lead to increased mortality and morbidity of pregnant women and perinatal infants, as well as the occurrence of short-term and long-term diseases. These complications have distinct etiology and pathogenesis, and the present comprehension is still lacking.

Circulating chemerin levels in preeclampsia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a new-onset pregnancy-specific disorder with a high prevalence that leads to over 70 000 maternal and 500 000 foetal fatalities worldwide each year. The level of chemerin, a newly identified adipokine, is increased in diabetic and obese patients. Currently, there are several studies describing the relationship between maternal circulating chemerin levels and PE.

Expectant management for umbilical artery thrombosis in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies: a case report.

Background: Thrombosis of one of the umbilical arteries is a rare complication of pregnancy and is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirth and intrauterine growth restriction. Although extremely rare, umbilical artery thrombosis (UAT) in monochorionic diamniotic twins is difficult to diagnose prenatally and manage. UAT has a poor prognosis and is associated with an increased perinatal mortality rate.

MiR-95-3p/EPM2A/MMP2 contributes to the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia through the regulation of trophoblast biological behaviour.

Objective: Preeclampsia (PE) is a maternal multisystem disease with an unclear mechanism. Data showed that MiR-95-3p promoted cell migration, invasion and proliferation, leading to the occurrence and development of many cancers, and placental trophoblasts and tumor cells had similar migration, invasion and proliferation abilities. Meanwhile we found that MiR-95-3p was differentially expressed in PE and normal placenta.

The long noncoding RNA TARID regulates the CXCL3/ERK/MAPK pathway in trophoblasts and is associated with preeclampsia.

Background: The widely accepted explanation of preeclampsia (PE) pathogenesis is insufficient trophoblast invasion and impaired uterine spiral artery remodeling. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.

Methods: We performed transcriptome sequencing on placentas of normal and PE patients and identified 976 differentially expressed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs).

There is increasing and inconsistent evidence of a relationship between hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDPs) and season of delivery or conception. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we assessed the association between season and HDPs. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021285539).

Bioinformatics-based screening of key genes between maternal preeclampsia and offspring schizophrenia.

Converging lines of evidence suggest an association between schizophrenia and prenatal neurodevelopmental disorders. Preeclampsia is a multisystem disease based on the coexistence of pregnancy and elevated blood pressure, which increases the risk for offspring abnormal neurodevelopment. Previous studies have showed maternal preeclampsia is associated with an increased risk of offspring schizophrenia, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear.

SIRT3 deficiency affects the migration, invasion, tube formation and necroptosis of trophoblast and is implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Introduction: Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) plays a key role in many diseases by regulating cell necroptosis and biological behavior. However, the exact role of SIRT3 in preeclampsia remains unclear.

Methods: The expression of SIRT3 and necroptosis biomarkers, including receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3 and phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (p-MLKL), in the placentas of 20 healthy pregnancy controls and 20 preeclampsia patients was evaluated by immunofluorescence, quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot.

Effect of lncRNA-ATB/miR-651-3p/Yin Yang 1 pathway on trophoblast-endothelial cell interaction networks.

Our previous studies have confirmed that lncRNA-ATB may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, however, it is uncertain whether lncRNA-ATB influence the interaction between trophoblast and endothelial cells, which is crucial to the uterine spiral artery remodelling. Scratch wound healing and transwell invasion assay were conducted to test the migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. Co-culture model was used to simulate the physiological environment in vivo.

Relevance of dietary glycemic index, glycemic load and fiber intake before and during pregnancy for the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus and maternal glucose homeostasis.

Background & Aims: To date, the prevalence of Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in China was 17.5%. Given the substantial relevance of GDM for medium- and long-term health of both mother and offspring and the paucity of existing data on the link between maternal diet and glucose homeostasis during pregnancy in Asian population, additional studies are needed.

Beyond protein intake: does dietary fat intake in the year preceding pregnancy and during pregnancy have an impact on gestational diabetes mellitus?

Purpose: Studies regarding the association between dietary fat intake and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are limited and provide conflicting findings. Thus, the study aims to examine the association of dietary fat intake in the year preceding pregnancy and during pregnancy with the risk of GDM, taking the relevance of dietary protein intake on GDM into consideration.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 6299 singleton pregnancies, using the data from the Nutrition in Pregnancy and Growth in Southwest China (NPGSC).

Validation of the Microreader 40Y ID System: a Y-STR multiplex for casework and database samples.

Y-chromosome-specific short tandem repeat loci (Y-STRs) are commonly analysed in forensic science for paternity testing, familial searches, and, in sexual assault cases, to determine male DNA identity from mixed sources with high background female DNA content. The Microreader 40Y ID System is a six-dye multiplex amplification kit that contains 17 Y-STR loci from the Yfiler Plus PCR Amplification Kit and the powerplex Y23 system (DYS19, DYF385a/b, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS549, DYS635(Y GATA C4), DYS643, Y GATA H4, DYS460, DYS481, DYS533, DYF387S1, DYS449, DYS518, DYS570, DYS576, and DYS627), plus six high polymorphic loci (DYS444, DYS447, DYS557, DYS596, DYS527 a/b) as well as 4 additional candidate Y-STR loci (DYS593, DYF404S1, DYS645) and a Y-Indel loci (Rs2032678), thereby providing greater efficiency, compatibility, and accuracy. The Microreader 40Y ID System can directly amplify markers from blood or saliva on filter paper or FTA cards, without template extraction or purification, and can also be used for extracted DNA templates.

RIP1 promotes proliferation through G2/M checkpoint progression and mediates cisplatin-induced apoptosis and necroptosis in human ovarian cancer cells.

Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1, also known as RIPK1) is not only a tumor-promoting factor in several cancers but also mediates either apoptosis or necroptosis in certain circumstances. In this study we investigated what role RIP1 plays in human ovarian cancer cells. We showed that knockout (KO) of RIP1 substantially suppressed cell proliferation, accompanied by the G2/M checkpoint arrest in two human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 and A2780.

Risk factors and pregnancy outcomes associated with retinopathy in patients presenting with severe preeclampsia: A retrospective cohort study.

The visual system was reported to be affected in over half of patients with preeclampsia (PE), though fundus examination was performed only among patients complaining of visual symptoms. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of PE-related retinopathy may lead to permanent visual impairment. Therefore, we hypothesize that some clinical or laboratory parameters could predict severity of retinal damage.
