目的探討S100鈣結合蛋白A12(S100A12)及晚期糖基化終末產物受體(RAGE)基因在子癇前期孕婦外周血及胎盤組織中的表達及意義。方法選取2014年2月至2015年3月在中國醫科大學第四醫院和昌樂縣人民醫院產科分娩的87例子癇前期孕婦分為非重度組(n=46)和重度組(n=41),同期選取正常孕婦40例作為對照組。利用實時熒光定量PCR技術檢測外周血及胎盤組織中S100A12 mRNA及RAGE mRNA的表達。結果子癇前期孕婦外周血中S100A12 mRNA和RAGE mRNA相對表達量均高于對照組(t值分別為12.341和10.517,均P<0.05),重度組子癇前期孕婦外周血中S100A12 mRNA和RAGE mRNA相對表達量均高于非重度組和對照組,且非重度組均高于對照組,差異均有統計學意義(t=1.980~8.191,均P<0.05)。子癇前期孕婦胎盤組織中S100A12 mRNA和RAGE mRNA相對表達量均高于對照組孕婦(t值分別為9.747和8.625,均P<0.05),重度組孕婦胎盤組織中S100A12 mRNA和RAGE mRNA相對表達量均高于非重度組和對照組,且非重度組高于對照組,差異均有統計學意義(t=2.235~7.286,均P<0.05)。經Pearson相關分析顯示,子癇前期孕婦外周血和胎盤組織中S100A12 mRNA相對表達量均與RAGE mRNA相對表達量呈正相關(r值分別為0.603和0.552,均P<0.05)。結論S100A12及RAGE基因在子癇前期孕婦外周血及胎盤組織中呈高表達,可能共同參與了子癇前期孕婦機體炎性反應的發生。

[Abstract]Objective To explore the expressions and significance of S100 calcium binding protein A12 (S100A12)and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) gene in peripheral blood and placenta tissue of pregnant women with preeclampsia. Methods Eighty-seven cases of pregnant women with preeclampsia delivering in Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and People’s Hospital of Changle County were divided into non-severe group (n=46) and severe group (n=41). At the same time, 40 cases of healthy pregnant women were chosen as control group. Expressions of S100A12 mRNA and RAGE mRNA in peripheral blood and placenta tissues were detected by using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology. Results The relative expression levels of S100A12 mRNA and RAGE mRNA in peripheral blood of pregnant women with preeclampsia were higher than those in the control group (tvalue was 12.341 and 10.517, respectively, bothP<0.05). The relative expression levels of S100A12 mRNA and RAGE mRNA in peripheral blood of the severe group were higher than the non-severe group and the control group, and those of non-severe group were higher than the control group. The differences were statistically significant (tvalue ranged 1.980-8.191, bothP<0.05). The relative expression levels of S100A12 mRNA and RAGE mRNA in placenta tissues of pregnant women with preeclampsia were higher than the control group (tvalue was 9.747 and 8.625, respectively, bothP<0.05). The relative expression levels of S100A12 mRNA and RAGE mRNA in placenta tissue of severe group were higher than non-severe group and the control group, and the relative expression levels of non-severe group were higher than the control group. The differences were statistically significant (tvalue ranged 2.235-7.286, bothP<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the relative expression levels of S100A12 mRNA in peripheral blood and placenta tissues of pregnant women with preeclampsia were positively correlated with the relative expression levels of RAGE mRNA (rvalue was 0.603 and 0.552, respectively, bothP<0.05).Conclusion High levels of expression of S100A12 and RAGE gene are detected in peripheral blood and placenta tissues of pregnant women with preeclampsia. S100A12 and RAGE may have jointly participated in the inflammatory response of pregnant women with preeclampsia.
子癇前期作為一種妊娠期高血壓疾病是造成孕產婦及圍產兒死亡的主要因素,發病率高達7%~13%[1],其發病機制目前尚不明確。近年來研究發現,子癇前期可能是母體發生的過度炎性反應,與患者免疫排除、胎盤組織局部缺血和缺氧等病理過程關系密切[2-3]。S100鈣結合蛋白A12(S100A12)作為鈣結合蛋白家族重要成員發揮促炎因子的作用,在調控炎性反應中發揮著關鍵性作用[4]。晚期糖基化終末產物受體(receptor for advanced glycation end products,RAGE)作為S100A12結合受體,可通過激活細胞內信號傳導通路參與全身及局部炎性疾病的發生[5]。目前,國內外有關S100A12和RAGE在子癇前期孕婦發病中的意義少有報道。本研究嘗試對S100A12和RAGE基因在子癇前期孕婦外周血及胎盤組織中的表達進行檢測,探討二者與子癇前期發病的關系,以期為子癇前期機制研究提供依據。

3.1炎性反應在子癇前期發病中的作用
子癇前期是妊娠期特發性疾病,可對孕婦各器官系統及新生兒產生影響,該病發病機制較為復雜,目前尚未研究清楚。有研究認為,胎盤是子癇前期發病的根源,胎盤滋養細胞功能異常致使血管重鑄而導致胎盤淺著床,從而引發胎盤發生缺血再灌注損傷,導致炎性反應[7],其提示炎性反應在子癇前期發病中扮演重要角色。有研究利用內毒素刺激的方式構建了子癇前期動物模型,且對抗炎治療有效[8],進一步說明過度的炎性反應導致機體一系列損傷反應是引發子癇前期的因素。
3.2 S100鈣結合蛋白A12在子癇前期孕婦外周血和胎盤組織中呈高表達
S100A12是一種重要的促炎因子,在機體炎性反應及免疫防御中發揮重要作用,亦在細胞生長、分化、凋亡等生理過程中發揮調節作用[9]。有研究表明,S100A12可與鈣結合,刺激血管內皮細胞黏附分子表達,加速炎性細胞激活及抗微生物作用的發揮[10]。本研究顯示,子癇前期孕婦外周血和胎盤組織中S100A12 mRNA相對表達量均高于對照組孕婦(均P<0.05),重度組子癇前期孕婦外周血和胎盤組織中S100A12 mRNA相對表達量>非重度組>對照組,說明S100A12基因在子癇前期孕婦外周血及胎盤組織中出現高表達,且與患者病情有關,病情愈嚴重,相對表達量愈高,提示炎性反應可能是引發子癇前期的重要病理基礎,與Blaauw等[11]研究結論一致。
3.3晚期糖基化終末產物受體與S100鈣結合蛋白A12可能共同參與了子癇前期孕婦炎性反應過程
RAGE是具有重要生物功能的多配體受體,S100A12是其重要受體之一,S100A12和RAGE結合可激活磷脂肌醇(PKC)、絲裂原細胞外信號調節激酶(MEK)、鈣調蛋白激酶Ⅱ等信號通路,經過一系列級聯反應而導致炎性因子的表達,促進炎性反應的發生[12]。本研究顯示,子癇前期孕婦外周血和胎盤組織中RAGE mRNA相對表達量均高于對照組孕婦(均P<0.05),重度組孕婦外周血及胎盤組織中RAGE mRNA相對表達量>非重度組>對照組,說明RAGE基因在子癇前期孕婦外周血和胎盤組織中呈高表達,且與患者病情嚴重程度有關,提示隨病情進展RAGE表達愈高。
經Pearson相關分析顯示,子癇前期孕婦外周血及胎盤組織中S100A12 mRNA相對表達量與RAGE mRNA相對表達量均呈正相關(r值分別為0.603和0.552,均P<0.05),說明在子癇前期發病過程中,S100A12和RAGE相互作用,S100A12和RAGE結合激活信號通路可促使核因子κB進入細胞核,在促進炎性反應的同時,核因子κB作為RAGE核轉錄因子,可促使RAGE基因表達[13],同時,RAGE又可促使S100A12聚集,引發炎性反應瀑布式發生[14]。
綜上所述,過度炎性反應在子癇前期孕婦發病中具有重要作用,促炎因子S100A12及其受體RAGE在子癇前期孕婦外周血及胎盤組織中呈高表達,且呈正相關,可能共同參與了子癇前期孕婦機體炎性反應的發生,但具體在子癇前期發生中的作用機制尚待進一步研究明確。
