不明原因复发性自然流产患者 FOXP3基因蛋白表达与启动子甲基化水平之间关系的研究
Association between FOXP3 promoter methylation and the expression of FOXP3 protein in unexplained ;recurrent spontaneous abortion
摘要
Abstract
Objective To investigate the association between the level of FOXP3 promoter methyla-tion and the expression level of FOXP3 protein in the decidua of patients with unexplained recurrent spontane-ous abortion (URSA).Methods The expression levels of FOXP3 protein in the decidua of 20 URSA patients and 20 healthy counterparts who underwent induced abortion were assessed by Western blot.Bisulfite-assisted genomic sequencing PCR (BSP)was utilized to detect the levels of FOXP3 promoter methylation.The correla-tion between two indexes was evaluated.Results The expression level of FOXP3 in the decidua of the URSA group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P <0.01),whereas the level of FOXP3 promoter methylation in the URSA group was significantly higher compared with that in the control group (P <0.01).The expression level of FOXP3 protein was negatively correlated with the level of FOXP3 promoter methylation (r =-0.917,P <0.01).Conclusion As the level of FOXP3 promoter methylation increases,the expres-sion level of FOXP3 protein is down-regulated,which may cause abnormal immune tolerance and potentially lead to the incidence of RSA.关键词
