Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of the pregnancy morbidity and mortality over the world. Disorganized placentation caused by trophoblast cell abnormity is one of main risk factors to induce PE. MiR-133a-3p has been shown to contain regulatory effects on oxidative stress in the cardiomyocytes. But the effects of miR-133a-3p on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in the trophoblast cells remain unknown. In this study, trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells were transfected with miR-133a-3p mimics and inhibitor. H2O2 (250 microM) treatment of cells was adopted to induce oxidative stress. A series of typical molecular and cellular experiments was subsequently performed in order to investigate this issue. It was found that miR-133a-3p overexpression attenuated the oxidative stress induced by H2O2 through reduced ROS and MDA levels and enhanced antioxidase activities in the trophoblast cells. Overexpressed miR-133a-3p was shown to relieve the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of HTR-8/SVneo cells. At molecular levels, a direct binding effect of miR-133a-3p on BACH1 was verified. Moreover, miR-133a-3p overexpression also enhanced BACH1 downstream Nrf2/HO-1 signaling to activate antioxidant genes. It is collectively demonstrated that miR-133a-3p can relieve the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in the trophoblast cells through the BACH1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway via targeting BACH1 directly. This regulatory mechanism of miR-133a-3p in the trophoblast cells under oxidative stress may give a new perspective for oxidative stress-induced trophoblast cell abnormality and be useful to study more pathological mechanisms of PE.
