Studies have recently examined the role of epigenetic mechanisms in preeclampsia pathophysiology. One commonly examined epigenetic process is DNA methylation. This heritable epigenetic marker is involved in many important cellular functions. The aim of this study was to establish the association between DNA methylation and preeclampsia and to critically appraise the roles of major study characteristics that can significantly impact the association between DNA methylation and preeclampsia. A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for original research articles published over time, until May 31, 2019 in English. Eligible studies compared DNA methylation levels in pregnant women with vs. without preeclampsia. Ninety articles were included. Epigenome-wide studies identified hundreds of differentially methylated places/regions in preeclamptic patients. Hypomethylation was the predominant finding in studies analyzing placental tissue (14/19), while hypermethylation was detected in three studies that analyzed maternal white blood cells (3/3). In candidate gene studies, methylation alterations for a number of genes were found to be associated with preeclampsia. A greater number of differentially methylated genes was found when analyzing more severe preeclampsia (70/82), compared to studies analyzing less severe preeclampsia vs. controls (13/27). A high degree of heterogeneity existed among the studies in terms of methodological study characteristics including design (study design, definition of preeclampsia, control group, sample size, confounders), implementation (biological sample, DNA methylation method, purification of DNA extraction, and validation of methylation), analysis (analytical method, batch effect, genotyping, and gene expression), and data presentation (methylation quantification measure, measure of variability, reporting). Based on the results of this review, we provide recommendations for study design and analytical approach for further studies. The findings from this review support the role of DNA methylation in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Establishing field-wide methodological and analytical standards may increase value and reduce waste, allowing researchers to gain additional insights into the role of DNA methylation in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.

系统评价支持 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用:呼吁分析和方法标准化。

最近的研究检查了表观遗传机制在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。一种常见的表观遗传过程是 DNA 甲基化。这种可遗传的表观遗传标记涉及许多重要的细胞功能。本研究的目的是建立 DNA 甲基化与先兆子痫之间的关联,并批判性地评估可显着影响 DNA 甲基化与先兆子痫之间关联的主要研究特征的作用。通过在 PubMed、Web of Science 和 EMBASE 中搜索在 2019 年 5 月 31 日之前发表的英文原始研究文章,进行了系统评价。符合条件的研究比较了先兆子痫孕妇与无先兆子痫孕妇的 DNA 甲基化水平。收录文章九十篇。全表观基因组研究确定了先兆子痫患者的数百个差异甲基化位置/区域。在分析胎盘组织的研究 (14/19) 中,低甲基化是主要发现,而在分析母体白细胞的三项研究 (3/3) 中检测到高甲基化。在候选基因研究中,发现许多基因的甲基化改变与先兆子痫有关。与分析较轻的先兆子痫与对照的研究 (13/27) 相比,在分析更严重的先兆子痫时发现了更多的差异甲基化基因 (70/82)。研究之间在方法学研究特征方面存在高度异质性,包括设计(研究设计、先兆子痫的定义、对照组、样本量、混杂因素)、实施(生物样本、DNA 甲基化方法、DNA 提取纯化和甲基化验证)、分析(分析方法、批次效应、基因分型和基因表达)和数据呈现(甲基化定量测量、变异性测量、报告)。根据本综述的结果,我们为进一步研究的研究设计和分析方法提供建议。本综述的结果支持 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。建立全领域的方法学和分析标准可能会增加价值并减少浪费,使研究人员能够进一步了解 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。和基因表达)和数据呈现(甲基化量化测量、变异性测量、报告)。根据本综述的结果,我们为进一步研究的研究设计和分析方法提供建议。本综述的结果支持 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。建立全领域的方法学和分析标准可能会增加价值并减少浪费,使研究人员能够进一步了解 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。和基因表达)和数据呈现(甲基化量化测量、变异性测量、报告)。根据本综述的结果,我们为进一步研究的研究设计和分析方法提供建议。本综述的结果支持 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。建立全领域的方法学和分析标准可能会增加价值并减少浪费,使研究人员能够进一步了解 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。本综述的结果支持 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。建立全领域的方法学和分析标准可能会增加价值并减少浪费,使研究人员能够进一步了解 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。本综述的结果支持 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。建立全领域的方法学和分析标准可能会增加价值并减少浪费,使研究人员能够进一步了解 DNA 甲基化在先兆子痫病理生理学中的作用。
