MiR-34b-3p Impaired HUVECs Viability and Migration via Targeting PDK1 in an In Vitro Model of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Biochemical Genetics 2021 April 16
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) leads to poor pregnancy outcomes. The methods for GDM early diagnosis and treatment are still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the expression and diagnostic potential of miR-34b-3p in GDM patients and further analyzed the effects of miR-34b-3p on HUVECs viability and migration. The expression of miR-34b-3p was detected in HUVECs of GDM and normal pregnant women by qRT-PCR. Then the HUVECs were isolated from normal pregnant women. High glucose (HG) was used to treat the HUVECs to mimic the GDM in vitro. The cell viability and migration were determined by MTT, wound healing assay, and transwell assay. The interaction between miR-34b-3p and PDK1 was evaluated by luciferase activity assay. Our results showed that miR-34b-3p was up-regulated in HUVECs of GDM patients. Then the HUVECs were isolated from normal pregnant women and they were treated with HG to mimic the GDM in vitro. Interestingly, knockdown of miR-34b-3p restored the impairment of HG treatment-induced effects in HUVECs. More importantly, PDK1 was proved to be a potential target of miR-34b-3p. Finally, the rescue experiments confirmed that miR-34b-3p impaired cell viability and migration ability in HUVECs by targeting PDK1. These findings concluded that miR-34b-3p impaired HUVECs viability and migration in GDM by targeting PDK1, which might provide a novel perspective for the pathogenesis and underlying therapeutic target for GDM.
