Abstract:
:LIN28B is an RNA-binding protein necessary for maintaining pluripotency in stem cells and plays an important role in trophoblast cell differentiation. LIN28B action on target gene function often involves the Let-7 miRNA family. Previous work in cancer cells revealed that LIN28 through Let-7 miRNA regulates expression of androgen receptor (AR). Considering the similarities between cancer and trophoblast cells, we hypothesize that LIN28B also is necessary for the presence of AR in human trophoblast cells. The human first-trimester trophoblast cell line, ACH-3P was used to evaluate the regulation of AR by LIN28B, and a LIN28B knockdown cell line was constructed using lentiviral-based vectors. LIN28B knockdown in ACH-3P cells resulted in significantly decreased levels of AR and increased levels of Let-7 miRNAs. Moreover, treatment of ACH-3P cells with Let-7c mimic, but not Let-7e or Let-7f, resulted in a significant reduction in LIN28B and AR. Finally, forskolin-induced syncytialization and Let-7c treatment both resulted in increased expression of syncytiotrophoblast marker ERVW-1 and a significant decrease in AR in ACH-3P. These data reveal that LIN28B regulates AR levels in trophoblast cells likely through its inhibitory actions on let-7c, which may be necessary for trophoblast cell differentiation into the syncytiotrophoblast.
