    Abstract:
    BPDE (benzo(a)pyren-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide), a metabolite of environmental carcinogenic BaP, weakens the migration and invasion of human villous trophoblast cells and may further induce miscarriage. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified that in trophoblast Swan 71 and HTR-8/SVneo cells, miR-hz02 upregulates the level of lnc-HZ02, which inhibits the expression of an RNA-binding protein HuR. HuR could interact with FAK mRNA and promote its mRNA stability, thus upregulating the FAK level and the FAK/SRC/PI3K/AKT pathway, and finally maintaining the normal migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. If trophoblast cells are exposed to BPDE, both miR-hz02 and lnc-HZ02 are upregulated, which reduce the level of HuR, weaken the interactions of HuR with FAK mRNA, downregulate FAK level and the FAK/SRC/PI3K/AKT pathway, and finally inhibit cell migration and invasion. This study provides a novel scientific understanding of the dysfunctions of human trophoblast cells.
