SummaryThe German Priority Research Program “Angiogenesis” (www.angiogenese.de) hosts a biannual meeting in the Kloster Seeon in Southern Germany. The 2nd Kloster Seeon Meeting “Angiogenesis: Molecular Mechanisms and Functional Interactions” was held in September 2002. It included sessions on hypoxia, the biology of endothelial precursor cells, angiogenic growth factors including VEGFs, the angiopoietins, ephrins, and FGFs, mechanisms of vascular sprouting and cell-cell contacts during angiogenesis, angiogenic signaling, lymphangiogenesis, angiogenesis during tumor invasion and metastasis, and on novel angiomanipulatory therapies. This report summarizes the key findings reported during the platform presentations of the meeting.

AbstractDysregulated extravillous trophoblast invasion and proliferation are known to increase the risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA); however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Herein, in our retrospective observational case-control study we show that villous samples from RSA patients, compared to healthy controls, display reduced succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit (SDHB) DNA methylation, elevated SDHB expression, and reduced succinate levels, indicating that low succinate levels correlate with RSA. Moreover, we find high succinate levels in early pregnant women are correlated with successful embryo implantation. SDHB promoter methylation recruited MBD1 and excluded c-Fos, inactivating SDHB expression and causing intracellular succinate accumulation which mimicked hypoxia in extravillous trophoblasts cell lines JEG3 and HTR8 via the PHD2-VHL-HIF-1α pathway; however, low succinate levels reversed this effect and increased the risk of abortion in mouse model. This study reveals that abnormal metabolite levels inhibit extravillous trophoblast function and highlights an approach for RSA intervention.
