Resumen
Introduction: Placental extravillous trophoblasts play a crucial role in the establishment of a healthy pregnancy. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to their differentiation and function as mediators in signaling processes or might cause oxidative stress resulting in trophoblast dysfunction. The krüppel-like transcription factor 6 (KLF6) regulates many genes involved in essential cell processes where ROS are also involved. However, whether KLF6 regulates ROS levels has not been previously investigated. Materials and Methods: KLF6 was silenced by siRNAs in HTR8-SV/neo cells, an extravillous trophoblast model. Total and mitochondrial ROS levels, as well as mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of genes and proteins of interest were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell response to oxidative stress, proliferation, viability, morphology, and migration were evaluated. Results: KLF6 downregulation led to an increase in ROS and NOX4 mRNA levels, accompanied by reduced cell proliferation and increased p21 protein expression. Catalase activity, 2-Cys peroxiredoxin protein levels, Nrf2 cytoplasmic localization and hemoxygenase 1 expression, as well as mitochondrial membrane potential and cell apoptosis were not altered suggesting that ROS increase is not associated with cellular damage. Instead, KLF6 silencing induced cytoskeleton modifications and increased cell migration in a ROS-dependent manner. Discussion: Present data reveal a novel role of KLF6 on ROS balance and signaling demonstrating that KLF6 downregulation induces an increase in ROS levels that contribute to extravillous trophoblast cell migration.
