Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-specific disorder, is characterized by abnormal vascular remodeling of the spiral arteries due to deficient trophoblast invasion. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration to pregnant rats on day 5 of pregnancy could induce excessive immune response at the maternal-fetal interface contributing to poor early placentation that culminate in the preeclampsia-like syndrome. Furthermore, the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), a critical tumor suppressor, is markedly increased in the placentas of patients with preeclampsia. Our goal was to investigate the association of PTEN with preeclampsia and the pathways involved using human-trophoblast-derived cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) stimulated with LPS. We found that the expression of PTEN was significantly increased in the placentas of patients with severe preeclampsia and preeclamptic rat model induced by LPS. In vitro trophoblasts results showed that significantly differential expression of PTEN with corresponding changes in JunB/FosB (subunits of AP-1) and NF-kappa B activity after LPS stimulation. We further demonstrated that LPS-induced PTEN expression was dependent on AP-1 and NF-kappa B in trophoblasts. The trophoblasts with enforced expression of PTEN showed a reduced ability to invasion. Taken together, LPS may undermine remodelling of the human-trophoblast-derived HTR-8/SVneo cells by increasing PTEN, acting in part through the AP-1 and NF-kappa B pathways.
