Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of our study is to investigate the function of YAP1 in the trophoblast ferroptosis and maternal-fetal interface communication of RPL. METHODS We collected 25 villous tissues and detected the expression of YAP1. Cell counting kit-8 assay, scratch wound-healing assay, and Matrigel invasion assay were performed to observe the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HTR-8/SVneo and JAR cells. Subsequently, measured the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), SLC7A11, SOD2, and GPX4. Ultimately, the use of ferroptosis activator (erastin) and inhibitor (Ferrostatin-1, fer-1) further confirmed the regulation by YAP1. In addition, established an in vitro-induced cell model to study the effect of YAP1 on the decidualization process. Finally, animal models were implemented for further confirmation. RESULTS We found that YAP1 was downregulated in RPL patients. Overexpression of YAP1 could significantly enhance the proliferation, migration, and invasion of trophoblasts, and inhibit ferroptosis. Knocking down YAP1 exhibited the opposite effect. Rescue experiments have shown that YAP1 could upregulate the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4, which are key molecules in the classic pathway of ferroptosis. In addition, the decidualization was impaired when hESCs were treated with conditioned medium of YAP1 knockdown trophoblasts. Moreover, we found that Yap1, Slc7a11, and Gpx4 were downregulated in the RPL mice, along with increased MDA and decreased GSH. CONCLUSION Downregulation of YAP1 induces ferroptosis, thereby damaging the trophoblast invasion processes, which also disturbs the communication at the maternal-fetal interface. Our study identified YAP1 as a potential key molecule in the pathogenesis of RPL.

Evaluation of multiple organophosphate insecticide exposure in relation to altered thyroid hormones in NHANES 2007-2008 adult population. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 273:116139. [PMID: 38428240 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
The thyroid gland is susceptible to chemical exposure such as organophosphate insecticides (OPIs). With the ubiquitous nature of these products, humans are simultaneously exposed to a multitude of chemicals. This study aimed to evaluate the association between an individual and a mixture of OPI metabolites and changes in serum thyroid hormone (TH) concentrations. The analyzed data were 1,434 participants from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) cycle 2007-2008. Generalized linear model (GLM) regression, weighted quantile sum (WQS), and adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (adaptive LASSO) regression were used to investigate the associations between urinary OPI metabolites and altered serum THs. In GLM, all of the five urinary OPI metabolites were inversely associated with free triiodothyronine (FT3) among the male subjects; meanwhile, higher thyroglobulin (Tg) was related to dimethylphosphate (DMP). Moreover, in WQS models, the metabolite mixture induced FT3 down-regulation (β = -0.209 (95% CI: -0.310, -0.114)), and caused an increased Tg concentration (β = 0.120 (95% CI: 0.024, 0.212)), however, any significant association was observed among female participants. Consistently, the weighted index and LASSO coefficient demonstrated dimethylthiophosphate (DMTP) as the strongest metabolite in the FT3 model (mean weight= 3.449e-01 and β =-0.022, respectively), and dimethylphosphate (DMP) represented the highest association in the Tg model (mean weight= 9.873e-01 and β =-0.020, respectively). Further research is required to confirm our results and investigate the clinical impacts of these disruptions.

Abstract
Endocrinopathies during pregnancy constitute a challenging issue, being prevalent and requiring appropriate management to avoid maternal and fetal complications. This review aims to summarize and present major endocrine problems during pregnancy, the appropriate screening, maternal monitoring and management, fetal monitoring, and follow-up. Glucose metabolism, thyroid function, as well as calcium and vitamin D metabolism are the main endocrine domains that should be screened and monitored during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most prevalent endocrine disease during pregnancy, followed by thyroid disorders. Specific recommendations are provided for the optimal clinical care of pregnant women and their offspring for GDM, thyroid disorders, and calcium and vitamin D disorders.

Abstract
Few data are available evaluating obstetrical outcome when thyroiditis coexist with autoimmune diseases. Objectives of our study were: 1) To assess the prevalence of thyroiditis in pregnant women with autoimmune diseases; 2) To evaluate the effects on pregnancy outcome when different autoimmune diseases are associated with thyroiditis. Two groups of pregnant women were analysed: a study group of pregnant women with autoimmune diseases (n = 268) versus a control group of pregnant women (n = 1,150). In both groups the research for thyroid antibodies, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, was performed. The positivity had a prevalence of 17.54% in women with autoimmune diseases (n = 47) versus 5.57% in the control group (n = 64) (p-value < 0.00001). Only major rheumatic diseases (MRD) were analysed for pregnancy outcome (week of delivery, birth weight and birth weight percentile): systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) n = 36, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) n = 44 and connective tissue diseases (CTD) n = 23. MRD were divided according to positive or negative results for thyroid antibodies. Thyroiditis in CDT patients showed a detrimental effect on pregnancy outcome, in terms of earlier week of delivery: 37.86 ± 0.90 (mean ± SD) in CTD with thyroiditis versus 38.56 ± 0.73 (mean ± SD) in CTD without thyroiditis (p-value = 0.03) and lower birth weight: 2,790.71 g ± 257.17 SD in CTD with thyroiditis versus 3,019.33 g ± 305.48 g in CTD without thyroiditis (p-value < 0.05). In SLE and APS thyroiditis did not appear to influence pregnancy outcome. However, we suggest investigating anti-thyroid antibodies in all autoimmune diseases with special attention to pregnant women with thyroiditis and CTD.

Association of thyroid peroxidase antibodies with the rate of first-trimester miscarriage in euthyroid women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:966565. [PMID: 36120428 PMCID: PMC9471195 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.966565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion is a serious reproductive problem of unknown etiology. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) may be associated with pregnancy outcomes in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion with normal thyroid function. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between TPO-Ab and the first trimester miscarriage rate/live birth rate in women of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion with normal thyroid function. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 297 women who met our strict inclusion criteria, comparing the first trimester miscarriage rate/live birth rate between the TPO-Ab positive and TPO-Ab negative groups. For the same purpose, we also performed subgroup analysis. RESULTS Of the included women, 76 (25.6%) were TPO-Ab positive, and 221 (74.4%) were negative. First trimester miscarriage rate differed between the two groups (36.8% vs 24.0%, RR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.05-2.24, P = 0.030). In the younger subgroup (<35 years) and the primary RSA subgroup, First trimester miscarriage rate was also higher in the TPO-Ab positive group (33.3% vs 19.0%, RR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.07-2.87, P = 0.030; 36.5% vs 21.7%, RR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.10-2.58, P = 0.020). While the live birth rate was lower in women with TPO-Ab positive, the difference did not reach statistical significance, even in the subgroup analysis. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that TPO-Ab is associated with first trimester miscarriage rate in euthyroid women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion.
