MiRNA‐26a‐5p inhibits preterm labor initiation by targeting and regulating TRPC3 ion channel protein expression
The incidence of preterm birth (PTB) is increasing annually worldwide, leading to various health problems or even fetal deaths. Our previous work demonstrated the activation of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C 3 (TRPC3) in mice with PTB, and its activation could promote inward flow of calcium ions and uterine smooth muscle (USM) contraction via regulation of Cav3.2, Cav3.1, and Cav1.2. However, the upstream regulators of TRPC3 and its mechanisms remain unknown. In the present study, the binding of miR‐26a‐5p to the 3′ untranslated region of TRPC3 was predicted by bioinformatics databases (TargetScanHuman and starBase v3.0) and confirmed by a dual‐luciferase assay. MiR‐26a‐5p was downregulated, while TRPC3 was upregulated in the USM tissues of patients with PTB compared to people without PTB. The results showed that miR‐26a‐5p mimic transfection markedly reduced TRPC3 expression in LPS‐stimulated USM cells. Additionally, miR‐26a‐5p regulated intracellular Ca2+ levels in USM cells by targeting TRPC3. Furthermore, miR‐26a‐5p inhibited the CPI17/PKC/PLCγ signaling pathway and reduced the expression of Cav3.2, Cav3.1, and Cav1.2. In conclusion, miR‐26a‐5p regulated the initiation of PTB by targeting TRPC3 and regulating intracellular Ca2+ levels. This study provides a promising diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for PTB.
