AbstractTo study the relationship between miR-148a and preeclampsia (PE), and clarify that miR-148a can regulate the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) of placental trophoblasts by targeting the ERS protein X box binding protein 1 (XBP1).Fifty patients with hypertension during pregnancy, patients with mild PE, patients with severe PE, and normal pregnant women were selected, and their placental tissues were collected. RT-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of miR-148a in placental tissues, and Western blot was used to detect XBP1 in placental tissues. Compare the expression differences of miR-148a and XBP1 in each group, and analyze the correlation between the expressions of the two.Compared with the Neg-miR group, MTT experiment result in pre-miR-148a group was decreased. MTT experiment result in anti-miR-148a group was increased. Cell cycle test result in pre-miR-148a group [G1 (%)] was increased. Cell cycle test result in anti-miR-148a group [S (%)] was increased. Apoptosis test result in pre-miR-148a group [early apoptotic cells (%), late apoptotic cells (%)] was increased. Apoptosis test result in anti-miR-148a group [early apoptotic cells (%), late apoptotic cells (%)] was decreased. XBP1 expression result in pre-miR-148a group was increased. XBP1 expression result in anti-miR-148a group was decreased. Compared with the normal population, XBP1 is expressed in hypertension, mild eclampsia, severe eclampsia increased. GRP78, CHOP, and caspase-12 expression result in pre-miR-148a group was increased. GRP78, CHOP, and caspase-12 expression result in anti-miR-148a group was decreased.miR-148a can regulate the ERS-mediated apoptosis by targeting XBP1, thereby intervening in the occurrence and development of PE.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
