By using complementary in vitro and ex vivo approaches, we show that the risk allele (Y153H) of the pre-eclampsia susceptibility gene STOX1 negatively regulates trophoblast invasion by upregulation of the cell-cell adhesion protein alpha-T-catenin (CTNNA3). This is effectuated at the crucial epithelial-mesenchymal transition of proliferative into invasive extravillous trophoblast. This STOX1-CTNNA3 interaction is direct and includes Akt-mediated phosphorylated control of nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling and ubiquitin-mediated degradation as shared with the FOX multigene family. This, to our knowledge, is the first time a genotype associated with pre-eclampsia has been shown to directly limit first trimester extravillous trophoblast invasion, the earliest hallmark of pre-eclampsia.

The STOX1 genotype associated with pre-eclampsia leads to a reduction of trophoblast invasion by α-T-catenin upregulation
