Abstract

VEGFR2 (Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2) is a central regulator of placental angiogenesis. The study of the VEGFR2 proteome of chorionic villi at term revealed its partners MDMX (Double minute 4 protein) and PICALM (Phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein). Subsequently, the oxytocin receptor (OT-R) and vasopressin V1aR receptor were detected in MDMX and PICALM immunoprecipitations. Immunogold electron microscopy showed VEGFR2 on endothelial cell (EC) nuclei, mitochondria, and Hofbauer cells (HC), tissue-resident macrophages of the placenta. MDMX, PICALM, and V1aR were located on EC plasma membranes, nuclei, and HC nuclei. Unexpectedly, PICALM and OT-R were detected on EC projections into the fetal lumen and OT-R on 20-150 nm clusters therein, prompting the hypothesis that placental exosomes transport OT-R to the fetus and across the blood-brain barrier. Insights on gestational complications were gained by univariable and multivariable regression analyses associating preeclampsia with lower MDMX protein levels in membrane extracts of chorionic villi, and lower MDMX, PICALM, OT-R, and V1aR with spontaneous vaginal deliveries compared to cesarean deliveries before the onset of labor. We found select associations between higher MDMX, PICALM, OT-R protein levels and either gravidity, diabetes, BMI, maternal age, or neonatal weight, and correlations only between PICALM-OT-R (p < 2.7 × 10), PICALM-V1aR (p < 0.006), and OT-R-V1aR (p < 0.001). These results offer for exploration new partnerships in metabolic networks, tissue-resident immunity, and labor, notably for HC that predominantly express MDMX.

摘要

血管内皮生长因子受体 2(Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2,VEGFR2)是胎盘血管生成的核心调节因子。对足月绒毛膜绒毛中 VEGFR2 蛋白质组的研究揭示了其伴侣 MDMX(双微体 4 蛋白)和 PICALM(磷脂结合网格蛋白组装蛋白)。随后,在 MDMX 和 PICALM 免疫沉淀中检测到催产素受体(OT-R)和血管加压素 V1aR 受体。免疫金电子显微镜显示,VEGFR2 位于内皮细胞(EC)核、线粒体和 Hofbauer 细胞(HC),即胎盘组织驻留巨噬细胞上。MDMX、PICALM 和 V1aR 位于 EC 质膜、核和 HC 核上。出乎意料的是,在 EC 伸向胎儿腔的突起上检测到 PICALM 和 OT-R,而 OT-R 则位于其中 20-150nm 的簇上,这促使人们假设胎盘外泌体将 OT-R 转运到胎儿体内,并穿过血脑屏障。通过单变量和多变量回归分析,将子痫前期与膜提取物中 MDMX 蛋白水平降低相关联,将 MDMX、PICALM、OT-R 和 V1aR 与自发性阴道分娩而不是在劳动开始前进行剖宫产相关联,从而获得了妊娠并发症的见解。我们发现,MDMX、PICALM、OT-R 蛋白水平与多胎妊娠、糖尿病、BMI、母亲年龄或新生儿体重之间存在一定的关联,并且仅在 PICALM-OT-R(p<2.7×10)、PICALM-V1aR(p<0.006)和 OT-R-V1aR(p<0.001)之间存在相关性。这些结果为探索代谢网络、组织驻留免疫和劳动中的新伙伴关系提供了依据,特别是对于主要表达 MDMX 的 HC 而言。
