MiR-125b regulates the kinds of cells that undergo apoptosis physiologically and pathologically. However, whether miR-125b affects the apoptotic behavior of trophoblasts and the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of miR-125b on apoptosis of HTR-8/SVneo cells in vitro. Constructed wild-type reporter vector (Wt-3'UTR) or mutated type reporter vector (Mut-3'UTR) reporter plasmids were transiently transfected into 293 T cells along with miR-125b mimics or a negative control. The luciferase reporter assay was used to validate whether the predicted MCL1 gene is a direct target of miR-125b. The HTR8/SVneo cells were transfected with miR-125 mimics, inhibitors, or a scramble control. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to analyze mRNA and protein expression of the target gene MCL1. Flow cytometry was used to determine the effects on apoptosis. The luciferase activity assay validated the ability of miR-125b to specifically attenuate MCL1 transcription in the 293 T cell line, suggesting that MCL1 is a direct target of miR-125b. After transfection by miR-125b, relative expression and translation of the target gene MCL1 mRNA were repressed in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Trophoblast cells were induced to undergo apoptosis by overexpressing miR-125b in the HTR-8/SVneo cell line. In conclusion, MiR-125b may induced apoptosis of HTR8/SVneo cells by targeting MCL1. Our findings suggest that miR-125b may play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of placentation.
