Dysfunction of pseudogene PGK1P2 is involved in preeclampsia by acting as a competing endogenous RNA of PGK1

ConclusionsWe proved that PGK1 and PGK1P2 are a pair of ceRNAs against miR-330-5p and they play a vital role in human decidualization by regulating angiogenesis and glycolysis metabolism. The deficiency of PGK1 and PGK1P2 in the decidua jeopardizes the decidualization process and subsequently might lead to the occurrence of PE. These findings may help in promoting novel predictive, diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of PE in future.
