circ_0014736 induces GPR4 to regulate the biological behaviors of human placental trophoblast cells through miR-942-5p in preeclampsia

Abstract: Previous studies have indicated that the development of preeclampsia (PE) involves the regulation of circular RNA (circRNA). However, the role of hsa_circ_0014736 (circ_0014736) in PE remains unknown. Thus, the study proposes to reveal the function of circ_0014736 in the pathogenesis of PE and the underlying mechanism. The results showed that circ_0014736 and GPR4 expression were significantly upregulated, while miR-942-5p expression was downregulated in PE placenta tissues when compared with normal placenta tissues. circ_0014736 knockdown promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of placenta trophoblast cells (HTR-8/SVneo) and inhibited apoptosis; however, circ_0014736 overexpression had the opposite effects. circ_0014736 functioned as a sponge for miR-942-5p and regulated HTR-8/SVneo cell processes by interacting with miR-942-5p. Additionally, GPR4, a target gene of miR-942-5p, was involved in miR-942-5p-mediated actions in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Moreover, circ_0014736 stimulated GPR4 production through miR-942-5p. Collectively, circ_0014736 inhibited HTR-8/SVneo cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced cell apoptosis through the miR-942-5p/GPR4 axis, providing a possible target for the treatment of PE.
