“…27–29 . Lower maternal level of VEGF was observed in unexplained recurrent miscarriage compared to those in healthy and pregnant women 30 . The secretory phase of the uterus is the vascular maturation period, which expresses more VEGF than in the proliferative phase during the menstrual cycle.…”

Uterine angiogenesis and vascular remodeling play critical roles in determing the normal menstrual cycle and successful pregnancy. Poor uterine angiogenesis usually results in pregnancy failure. Protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 (poFUT1) is the key enzyme responsible for O-fucosylated glycan biosynthesis on glycoproteins. However, the dynamic expression and regulation of poFUT1 on the uterine angiogenesis and vascular remodeling remain unknown. Here, we showed that the enlargement of the vascular lumen in the secretory phase was greater than that in the proliferative phase of the uterine endometrium during menstrual cycle; whereas there was a narrower vessel lumen and fewer blood vessels in the decidua from miscarriage patients than in that from healthy pregnancy women. Additionally, the expression of poFUT1 was increased in the uterine endometrium during the secretory phase compared with that in the proliferation phase, and its expression was decreased in the uterus of miscarriage patients compared with that of the healthy pregnancy women. Using hESCs and a mouse model, we demonstrated that poFUT1 increased the Ofucosylation on uPA, and activated of the RhoA signaling pathway, thus facilitating uterine angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. We also provide evidence that poFUT1 promotes hESCs angiogenesis by the decreased stemness of hESCs. These findings reveal a new insight into the uterine angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. The study suggests that poFUT1 could be seen as a novel potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for miscarriage.

“…However, the evidence of the link between inflammation and miscarriage in women with early threatened abortion is limited. Given that the similar maternal-fetal pathological changes between threatened abortion and miscarriage [17,18], we speculated that inflammation might be associated with pregnancy outcome in the early threatened abortion.…”

To investigate the relation of inflammation-related parameters and pregnancy outcome in women with the early threatened abortion. Method of study 630 women with early threatened abortion were divided into two groups based on the pregnancy outcome. All of them had the blood routine examination before treating. The differences between two groups were analyzed by the Chi-squared test, Student T test, Mann-Whitney U test, Binary Logistic Regression, Marginal Structural Model and Threshold effect analysis. Results We found that there is no significant difference in the pregnancy outcome for NLR (OR:0.92, CI95%:0.72, 1.17) and PLR (OR:1.00, CI%:0.99, 1.01). However, a difference had a statistical significance in the pregnancy outcome when LMR less than 2.19 (OR:0.39, CI95%:0.19,0.82). Conclusions This study suggested that higher LMR was related to the lower risk of miscarriage in the women with early threatened abortion in a way.

“…VEGF also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF), is an important angiogenetic cytokine. It regulates proliferation, differentiation, and survival of endothelial cells and enhances vascular permeability [25]. It was shown that the overexpression of vascular VEGF is an outstanding manifestation in the course of RBI [26].…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to construct a radiation-induced brain injury (RBI) model and assess the effects of human recombinant endostatin in the treatment of RBI.Material/MethodsIn this study, the RBI model was used. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, hematoxylin and eosin staining were conducted to detect the mRNA and protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and assess the effects of human recombinant endostatin in the treatment of RBI.ResultsIn this study, we successfully constructed a RBI model. VEGF mRNA expression was decreased after human recombinant endostatin treatment; however, VEGF protein secretion was increased in brain endothelial cells, and the secretion of VEGF protein was decreased in glial cells and nerve cells. Body weight changes indicated that human recombinant endostatin can increase the risk of weight loss. Brain water content results showed that human recombinant endostatin might aggravate cerebral edema in the acute stage of RBI, but it can reduce the progression of cerebral edema in the early delayed stage. Survival analysis showed that human recombinant endostatin improved the survival rate only in the early stage of RBI.ConclusionsRadiation can induce vasogenic edema and is associated with the RBI occurrence and development. VEGF protein is highly relevant to the induction of edema and thrombosis in the acute phase of RBI and in the early delayed phase of RBI, including vascular repair and regeneration, thrombus ablation and other events. Human recombinant endostatin can reduce the progression of cerebral edema during the early onset of RBI.
