Abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is associated with the dysfunctions of human trophoblast cells and the occurrence of miscarriage (abnormal early embryo loss). BBC3/PUMA (BCL2 binding component 3) plays significant roles in regulation of cell apoptosis. However, whether specific lncRNAs might regulate BBC3 in trophoblast cells and further induce apoptosis and miscarriage remains completely unclear. Through screening, we identified a novel lnc-HZ12, which was significantly highly expressed in villous tissues of recurrent miscarriage (RM) patients relative to their healthy control (HC) group. Lnc-HZ12 suppressed chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) degradation of BBC3, promoted trophoblast cell apoptosis, and was associated with miscarriage. In mechanism, lnc-HZ12 downregulated the expression levels of chaperone molecules HSPA8 and LAMP2A in trophoblast cells. Meanwhile, lnc-HZ12 (mainly lnc-HZ12-SO2 region in F2 fragment) and HSPA8 competitively bound with the
169 RVLYNL174 patch on BBC3, which prevented BBC3 from interactions with HSPA8 and impaired the formation of BBC3-HSPA8-LAMP2A complex for CMA degradation of BBC3. Thus, lnc-HZ12 upregulated the BBC3-CASP9-CASP3 pathway and induced trophoblast cell apoptosis. In villous tissues, lnc-HZ12 was highly expressed, CMA degradation of BBC3 was suppressed, and the apoptosis levels were higher in RM vs HC villous tissues, all of which were associated with miscarriage. Interestingly, knockdown of murine Bbc3 could efficiently suppress placental apoptosis and alleviate miscarriage in a mouse miscarriage model. Taken together, our results indicated that lnc-HZ12 and BBC3 played important roles in trophoblast cell apoptosis and miscarriage and might act as attractive targets for miscarriage treatment.

Human trophoblast cells are crucial for healthy pregnancy. However, whether the defective homologous recombination (HR) repair of dsDNA break (DSB) in trophoblast cells may induce miscarriage is completely unknown. Moreover, the abundance of BRCA1 (a crucial protein for HR repair), its recruitment to DSB foci, and its epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, are also fully unexplored. In this work, it is identified that a novel lnc‐HZ10, which is highly experssed in villous tissues of recurrent miscarriage (RM) vs their healthy control group, suppresses HR repair of DSB in trophoblast cell. Lnc‐HZ10 and AhR (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) form a positive feedback loop. AhR acts as a transcription factor to promote lnc‐HZ10 transcription. Meanwhile, lnc‐HZ10 also increases AhR levels by suppressing its CUL4B‐mediated ubiquitination degradation. Subsequently, AhR suppresses BRCA1 transcription; and lnc‐HZ10 (mainly 1‐447 nt) interacts with γ‐H2AX; and thus, impairs its interactions with BRCA1. BPDE exposure may trigger this loop to suppress HR repair in trophoblast cells, possibly inducing miscarriage. Knockdown of murine Ahr efficiently recovers HR repair in placental tissues and alleviates miscarriage in a mouse miscarriage model. Therefore, it is suggested that AhR/lnc‐HZ10/BRCA1 axis may be a promising target for alleviation of unexplained miscarriage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) leads to dysfunctions of human trophoblast cells and further induces miscarriage. In our previous study, we have found that lnc-HZ03 and miR-hz03 are upregulated in BPDE-exposed human trophoblast cells and in recurrent miscarriage tissues; and the upregulated miR-hz03 caused by lnc-HZ03 further promotes the apoptosis of human trophoblast cells and induces miscarriage. However, how lnc-HZ03 upregulates miR-hz03 is completely unknown. In this study, we find that lnc-HZ03 upregulates the expression level of a transcription factor TFIID (a TATA-binding protein) and promotes TFIID-mediated transactivation response element RNA-binding protein (TRBP) transcription. Subsequently, the upregulated TRBP promotes the maturation of miR-hz03 by splicing its precursor pre-miR-hz03 in human trophoblast cells. In BPDE-exposed trophoblast cells or in recurrent miscarriage tissues, lnc-HZ03 was upregulated, which accelerates the TFIID-mediated TRBP transcription and thus promotes TRBP-mediated miR-HZ03 maturation. Subsequently, the upregulated miR-hz03 further promotes the apoptosis of human trophoblast cells and induces miscarriage. This work provides new insights into the regulation of miRNA expression levels by lncRNAs in BPDE-exposed human trophoblast cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Copper pollution has attracted global environmental concern. Widespread Cu pollution results in excessive Cu accumulation in human. Epidemiological studies and animal experiments revealed that Cu exposure might have reproductive toxicity. Cuproptosis is a recently reported Cu-dependent and programmed cell death pattern. However, the mechanism by which copper exposure might cause cell cuproptosis is largely unknown. We chose trophoblast cells as cell model and found that copper exposure causes trophoblast cell cuproptosis. In mechanism, copper exposure up-regulates lnc-HZ11 expression levels, which increases intracellular Cu
2+ levels and causes trophoblast cell cuproptosis. Knockdown of lnc-HZ11 efficiently reduces intracellular Cu2+ levels and alleviate trophoblast cell cuproptosis, which could be further alleviated by co-treatment with DC or TEPA. These results discover novel toxicological effects of copper exposure and also provide potential target for protection trophoblast cells from cuproptosis in the presence of excessive copper exposure. • Cu exposure leads to trophoblast cell cuproptosis. • Cu exposure suppresses Fe-S cluster, lipoylation, and mitochondrial respiration. • Cu exposure up-regulates lnc-HZ11 expression levels. • Lnc-HZ11 induces cuproptosis in copper-exposed trophoblast cells. • Knockdown of lnc-HZ11 alleviates cuproptosis in copper-exposed trophoblast cells.

Increasing evidences have shown that pregnant women might miscarry after exposure with environmental BaP (benzo(a)pyrene). Additionally, BPDE (benzo(a)pyren-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide), the ultimate metabolite of BaP, could induce dysfunctions of human trophoblast cells. However, it is rarely correlated between miscarriage and trophoblast dysfunctions. Moreover, their underlying mechanisms are still largely unidentified. In this study, a novel lncRNA (long non-coding RNA), lnc-HZ08, was identified to be highly expressed in human recurrent miscarriage (RM) tissues and in BPDE-treated human trophoblast cells. Lnc-HZ08 acts as a RNA scaffold to interact with both PI3K and its ubiquitin ligase CBL (Cbl proto-oncogene), enhances their protein interactions, and promotes PI3K ubiquitin degradation. In RM tissues and BPDE-treated trophoblast cells, DNA methylation level in lnc-HZ08 promoter region was reduced, which promotes estrogen receptor 1 (ER)–mediated lnc-HZ08 transcription. Subsequently, this upregulated lnc-HZ08 downregulated PI3K level, suppressed PI3K/p-AKT/p-P21/CDK2 pathway, and thus weakened proliferation, migration, and invasion of human trophoblast cells, which further induces miscarriage. These results may provide novel scientific and clinical insights in the occurrence of unexplained miscarriage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Human trophoblast cells play important role in embryo-fetal development. However, trophoblast cells are sensitive to environmental carcinogens. Recently, we have discovered that BPDE inhibits trophoblast cell migration, invasion and proliferation, and also increases trophoblast cell apoptosis. Ferroptosis is a newly identified iron-dependent non-apoptotic programmed cell death. Whether BPDE might induce trophoblast cell ferroptosis is completely unknown. In this work, we have discovered that ferroptosis does occur in BPDE-treated human trophoblast cells. Iron metabolism up-regulates intracellular free Fe
2+ level, produces excessive ROS (reactive oxygen species), and accelerates lipid peroxidation. GPX4 efficiently eliminates ROS and inhibits lipid peroxidation. Thus, ferroptosis is well suppressed due to the balance of these two pathways in healthy trophoblast cells. However, BPDE exposure could promote iron metabolism, increase intracellular free Fe2+ level, produce excessive ROS, and result in lipid peroxidation. Meanwhile, BPDE also down-regulates GPX4 expression level by promoting its proteasomal degradation, which eventually produces excessive ROS and induces lipid peroxidation. Thus, BPDE exposure induces trophoblast cell ferroptosis by unbalancing these two pathways, providing new insight in understanding BPDE-induced dysfunctions of human trophoblast cells. • BPDE exposure induces human trophoblast cell ferroptosis. • BPDE exposure increases intracellular free Fe2+ level and ROS level. • BPDE promotes GPX4 proteasomal degradation and reduces its protein level. • BPDE produces excessive ROS and induces lipid peroxidation.

BPDE up-regulates lnc-HZ11, which down-regulates EGR1/NF-κB/CXCL12 pathway and suppresses trophoblast cell migration/invasion at intracellular levels. BPDE promotes donor trophoblast cells to secrete more EV-HZ11, which suppresses migration/invasion of the recipient trophoblast cells at intercellular levels, and is associated with unexplained miscarriage. Knockdown of murine lnc-Hz11 by EV-AS-Hz11 could efficiently alleviate miscarriage in BaP-exposed mice. The levels of EV-HZ11 in serum could predict the risk of miscarriage. [Display omitted] • BPDE up-regulates lnc-HZ11, which suppresses EGR1/NF-κB/CXCL12 and migration/invasion of trophoblast cells. • BPDE or lnc-HZ11 promotes trophoblast cells to secrete more EV-HZ11. • EV-HZ11 is transferred from donor cells to recipient cells and suppresses their migration/invasion. • Lnc-HZ11 and EV-HZ11 are closely associated with miscarriage. • Knockdown of murine lnc-Hz11 recovers migration/invasion and alleviates mouse miscarriage. • EV-HZ11 in serum predicts miscarriage risk. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate the intercellular crosstalk by transferring functional cargoes. Recently, we have discovered that BaP/BPDE exposure suppresses trophoblast cell migration/invasion and induces miscarriage, which are also regulate by lncRNAs at intracelluar levels. However, the EVs-mediated intercellular regulatory mechanisms are completely unexplored. Specifically, whether EVs might transfer BPDE-induced toxic lncRNA to fresh recipient trophoblast cells and suppress their migration/invasion to further induce miscarriage is completely unknown. In this study, we find that BPDE exposure up-regulates a novel lnc-HZ11, which suppresses EGR1/NF-κB/CXCL12 pathway and migration/invasion of trophoblast cells. Intercellular studies show that EV-HZ11 (lnc-HZ11 in EVs), which is highly expressed in BPDE-exposed donor cells, suppresses EGR1/NF-κB/CXCL12 pathway and migration/invasion in recipient cells by transferring lnc-HZ11 through EVs. Analysis of villous tissues collected from UM (unexplained miscarriage) patients and HC (healthy control) group shows that the levels of BPDE-DNA adducts, lnc-HZ11 or EV-lnc-HZ11, and EGR1/NF-κB/CXCL12 pathway are all associated with miscarriage. Mouse assays show that BaP exposure up-regulates the levels of lnc-Hz11 or EV-Hz11, suppresses Egr1/Nf-κb/Cxcl12 pathway, and eventually induces miscarriage. Knockdown of lnc-Hz11 by injecting EV-AS-Hz11 could effectively alleviate miscarriage in BaP-exposed mice. Furthermore, EV-HZ11 in serum samples could well predict the risk of miscarriage. Collectively, this study not only discovers EVs-HZ11-mediated intercellular mechanisms that BaP/BPDE suppresses trophoblast cell migration/invasion and induces miscarriage but also provides new approach for treatment against unexplained miscarriage through EV-HZ11.

PYROPTOSIS , *TROPHOBLAST , *MISCARRIAGE , *PERSISTENT pollutants , *ENDOCRINE disruptors , *RECURRENT miscarriage - Abstract
Environmental Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and its ultimate metabolite BPDE (benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide) are typical persistent organic pollutants and endocrine disrupting chemicals. BaP/BPDE exposure might cause human trophoblast cell dysfunctions and induce miscarriage. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. In this study, we found that BPDE exposure induced human trophoblast cell pyroptosis by up-regulating NLRP3/Caspase1/GSDMD pathway. We also identified that lnc-HZ14 was highly expressed in BPDE-exposed trophoblast cells and in recurrent miscarriage (RM) vs healthy control (HC) villous tissues. Lnc-HZ14 promoted trophoblast cell pyroptosis by promoting IRF1-mediated ZBP1 transcription, increasing METTL3-mediated m6A methylation on NLRP3 mRNA and its stability, and also enhancing ZBP1/NLRP3 protein interactions. Knockdown of lnc-HZ14/ZBP1/NLRP3 axis could efficiently alleviate BPDE-induced trophoblast cell pyroptosis. Higher level of pyroptosis, as indicated by the up-regulation of lnc-HZ14/ZBP1/NLRP3 axis, was found in RM vs HC villous tissues. In BaP-exposed mouse model, BaP exposure induced placental tissue pyroptosis and miscarriage by up-regulating murine Zbp1/Nlrp3 axis, and knockdown of Nlrp3 could efficiently reduce placenta pyroptosis and alleviate BaP-induced mouse miscarriage. Serum IL-1β protein level might act as a promising indicator to predict the risk of miscarriage. These findings provided new insights into BaP/BPDE-induced trophoblast cell pyroptosis and miscarriage and might be helpful for further assessment of the toxicological effects of BaP/BPDE on the female reproduction. [Display omitted] • BPDE induced trophoblast pyroptosis by up-regulating lnc-HZ14/ZBP1/NLRP3 axis. • Lnc-HZ14 promoted ZBP1 transcription, increased NLRP3 mRNA stability, and enhanced ZBP1/NLRP3 interactions. • Higher level of pyroptosis was found in RM vs HC villous tissues. • BaP induced murine placenta pyroptosis and mouse miscarriage via Zbp1/Nlrp3 axis. • IL-1β protein level in serum might predict the risk of miscarriage [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
