Autophagy regulates abnormal placentation induced by folate deficiency in mice.

Abstract:

:Folate deficiency has been linked to a wide range of pregnancy disorders. Most research about folate-deficiency has focused on the embryo itself, little attention has been paid to possible effects on the placenta. According to our results, the morphology of the placenta, endocrine function, and the expression of genes involved in placental differentiation were all abnormal in folate-deficient mice on days 10, 12, and 14 of pregnancy. Similar results were found in human placenta explants cultured in folate-deficient medium. Autophagy is an inducible catabolic process activated by external nutrients starvation. Here we explored further, whether autophagy was involved in the abnormal placentation caused by folate-deficiency. The aberrant number of autophagosomes measured by transmission electron microscopy and the deviant expression of autophagy-related markers showed a disordered autophagy in placentas under conditions of folate-deficiency in vivo and in vitro dual-fluorescence mRFP-eGFP-LC3 analysis indicated enhanced autophagy was detected in HTR8/SVneo cells incubated in folate-deficient medium. Importantly, the placentation impairment in mice and human placenta explants could be recovered by inhibiting placental autophagy using 3-MA. In addition, the apoptosis and invasive capability of HTR8/SVneo cells were obviously suppressed by folate deficiency but notably elevated by 3-MA. These data suggest that folate deficiency can impair placentation and autophagy is a key factor in this. However, the signal pathway by which folate deficiency causes aberrant autophagy needs to be explored further.
