Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Increasing evidence suggests an association between periodontal disease and low birthweight (LBW); however the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we performed a microarray analysis to observe the human placental trophoblast-like BeWo cells response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from periodontopathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), in order to investigate the molecular basis of mechanisms for periodontitis-associated LBW. In vivo pregnant rats were also used to confirm the in vitro results. STUDY DESIGN:The effects of Aa-LPS on cultured human placental trophoblast-like BeWo cells were studied using a DNA microarray, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, real-time PCR and poly-caspase staining. The in vivo effects of Aa-LPS in pregnant rats were examined using TUNEL assays. RESULTS:In BeWo cells, Aa-LPS increased levels of cytochrome c, caspase 2, caspase 3, caspase 9 and BCL2-antagonist/killer 1 mRNA, decreased those of B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2, BCL2-like 1 and catalase mRNA and increased poly-caspase activity, all of which are consistent with activation of the mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway. TUNEL assays confirmed the increased incidence of apoptosis in placentas of Aa-LPS-treated rats (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION:Aa-LPS induces apoptosis in human trophoblasts via the mitochondria-dependent pathway, and this effect may contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontitis-associated LBW.

PLACENTA文献大全abstract::Placental hypoxia as a result of impaired trophoblast invasion is suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Hypoxia is a potent stimulus for the release of adenosine, and the actions of adenosine are mediated through four adenosine receptors, A(1), A(2A), A(2B) and A(3). We investigated the pres...
