PG - 159-166 LID - 10.1080/10641963.2021.2013492 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which magnesium sulfate regulates the miR-218-5p/HMGB-pathway-mediated apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in rats with preeclampsia (PE). METHODS: Twenty pregnant rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal, PE, MgSO(4), and high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1)-agomir groups. On the 14(th) day of each rat's pregnancy, endotoxin was used to establish a PE model in the PE, MgSO(4), and HMGB1-agomir groups. Then, the MgSO(4) and HMGB1-agomir groups were treated with magnesium sulfate. Finally, HMGB1 overexpression was performed only in the HMGB1-agomir group. The rats' urinary protein content and systolic blood pressure at 24 h were detected on the 11(th), 13(th), 15(th), 17(th), and 19(th) day of pregnancy. RESULTS: Compared with the PE group, 24-h urinary protein content, blood pressure, VEC apoptosis rate, apoptosis marker levels, and HMGB1 expression decreased while miR-218-5p levels increased in the MgSO(4) group. The dual-luciferase assay revealed that HMGB1 can be targeted and regulated by miR-218-5p. Compared with the MgSO(4) group, 24-h urinary protein content, blood pressure, VEC apoptosis rate, apoptosis marker levels, and HMGB1 expression increased while miR-218-5p levels decreased in the HMGB1-agomir group. CONCLUSION: MgSO(4) reduces VEC apoptosis in PE rats via the miR-218-5p/HMGB1 pathway and thus plays a role in treating PE.
