Identification of population characteristics of the decidual cells transcriptome in severe preeclampsia

Abstract

Decidualization defects in early gestation are known to lead to fetal growth retardation, miscarriage, or various obstetric complications. The aim is to reveal the transcriptomic profile of decidual cells (DC) in severe preeclampsia in Russians and Buryats. A full-transcriptomic analysis of placenta DC was carried out in representatives of two ethnic groups (Russians (n=4) and Buryats (n=4)). Single DC were obtained using laser microdissection technology and thin stained section preparations. When comparing expression profiles of DC in the examined groups, statistically significant differences (FDR<0.05) were revealed for 61 transcripts. Most of the identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were characterized by overexpression in Russian samples, while only 15 genes showed a high level of expression in Buryats. The results obtained indicate that the pathways of the innate immunity system associated with the activity of interferon proteins predominate in the differentiation of the DC transcriptomic profile of Russian and Buryat women with preeclampsia, which was confirmed not only by functional annotation of the list of identified DEG genes, but also by network analysis of data.
