Recently, a large number of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported in human diseases that are evolutionarily conserved and are likely to play a role in many biological events including pre-eclampsia. In our previous research, we selected thousands of lncRNAs for their relationship with early-onset pre-eclampsia. Among these lncRNAs, a lncRNA named uc.294 attracted our attention, was once reported to specifically be expressed at a high level in the early-onset of pre-eclampsia. This study aims to investigate the function of uc.294 in early-onset pre-eclampsia and the possible mechanism. The uc.294 expression level in early-onset pre-eclampsia or in normal placenta tissues was evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. To detect the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis capacity of the trophoblast cells, we performed the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. Here we report, for the first time, that uc.294 inhibits proliferation, invasion, and promotes apoptosis of trophoblast cells HTR-8/SVneo by working in key aspects of biological behaviors. However, how uc.294 acts to regulate gene functions in early-onset pre-eclampsia needs further exploration.
