Abstract
Background: It was designed to investigate whether umbilical cord matrix stem cells (CVMSC) could affect the functionality of trophoblasts to prevent preeclampsia. Methods: In this study, CVMSC-derived exosomes were isolated; its effect on trophoblasts was investigated based on the CCK8 assay, migration assay, and apoptosis detection. And the underlying mechanism of this effect was investigated using mRNA sequencing, western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, luciferase report assay, and ubiquitination assay. Findings: The results showed that CVMSC-derived exosomes promoted migration and proliferation of trophoblasts, and also reduced cell apoptosis. mRNA sequencing confirmed that after treatment of CVMSC-derived exosomes, TRIM72 expression was upregulated and P53 expression was downregulated, both significantly in trophoblasts. Subsequent study confirmed that TRM72 could directly interact with P53 and promoted P53 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, reducing apoptosis rate and elevating proliferation and migration in trophoblasts. Interpretation: Our study confirmed that CVMSC-derived exosomes promoted trophoblast migration and proliferation by upregulating TRIM72 expression, and subsequently advanced P53 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Funding Statement: This study received no specific grant from public funding agencies, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
