It is now well-established that microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression.The role of miRNAs in placental development and trophoblast function here is constantly expanding.Trophoblast invasion and their ability to remodel uterine spiral arteries are essential for proper placental development and successful pregnancy outcome.
Many miRNAs are reported to be dysregulated in pregnancy complications, especially preeclampsia and they exert various regulatory effects on trophoblasts.In this review, we provide a brief overview of miRNA biogenesis and their mechanism of action, as well as of trophoblasts differentiation, invasion and spiral artery remodeling.We then discuss the role of miRNAs in trophoblasts invasion and spiral artery remodeling, focusing on miRNAs that have been thoroughly investigated, especially using multiple model flexcon reverse osmosis water storage tank systems.
We also discuss the potential role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.
