Exosome Enriched Leucine-Rich Alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 and Extracellular Matrix Protein 1 Proteins Induce Abnormal Placental Angiogenesis in Pregnant Mice
Placenta(2023)
摘要
Introduction: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is characterized by a high risk of fetal macrosomia and placenta hypervascularization. Exosomes has been known participating in various physiological and pathological processes, including pro-angiogenic function. However, the effects of umbilical cord blood derived exosomes from cases of GDM (GDM-exo) on placental vascular network formation remain unclear. Methods: In the current study, we isolated and identified exosomes in umbilical cord blood from both normal (Nexo) and GDM pregnancies. Meanwhile, we investigated the effects of umbilical cord blood derived exosomes on placental angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Results: Our data indicated that in a mouse model, the placenta and fetus weight were significantly higher in the ones administrated with GDM-exo when compared with N-exo. Meanwhile, GDM-exo significantly enhanced placental endothelial cells functions in both HUVEC and HPMEC endothelial cell models. Importantly, we explored two up-regulated proteins in GDM-exo, namely leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) and extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) by proteome analysis, which performed largely pro-angiogenic function and probably resulted in hypervascularization in GDM placenta. Discussion: Thus, we proposed that abundant LRG1 and ECM1 enriched GDM-exo may take important roles in regulating pathological placental angiogenesis.
